Measuring sleep state of a user using wearables and deciding on the playback option for the content consumed
Systems and methods are provided for responding to a sleep-state event. One example method includes receiving and generating, at a computing device, media content for output and receiving a sleep-state event. A type of the content being generated for output is identified and, based on the type of content, an action to perform in response to receiving the sleep-state event is identified. The action to perform is generated.
1. A method comprising:
generating, for output, a first media content on a device associated with a user;
identifying a first sleep-state event for the user;
based on the identifying the first sleep-state event for the user:
based on determining that a first type of the first media content matches a preferred media content type identified by a user profile:
stopping generating the first media content for output;
selecting a second media content for aiding sleep; and
generating, for output, the second media content on the device associated with the user;
identifying a second sleep-state event for the user; and
based on the identifying the second sleep-state event for the user:
based on determining that a second type of the second media content does not match the preferred media content type identified by the user profile:
continuing to generate for output the second media content.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises generating a bookmark based on identifying the first sleep-state event.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:
accessing the user profile; and
updating a viewing history associated with the accessed user profile to indicate a resume point based on the generated bookmark.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein:
the first media content comprises metadata indicating a priority segment;
the method further comprises identifying that the generated bookmark occurs at or before the priority segment; and
the resume point is further based on a time stamp of the priority segment.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media content is an episode of a series of episodes, and the method further comprises disabling an automatic playing of a subsequent episode of the series of episodes.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the user profile is a first user profile associated with a first user;
identifying the first sleep-state event comprises receiving the first sleep-state event from a first user or a second user;
identifying, based on whether the first sleep-state event was received from the first user or the second user, the first user profile or a second user profile associated with a second user and accessing the identified first or second user profile; and
the method further comprises generating a bookmark based on receiving the first sleep-state event and updating a viewing history associated with the identified user profile to indicate a resume point based on the generated bookmark.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media content is live media content that is received in, at least substantially, real time, and the method further comprises:
generating a bookmark based on receiving the first sleep-state event;
associating the bookmark with the user profile;
identifying that the live media content subsequently becomes available to stream in a video-on-demand format;
generating, for output, an indication that the first media content is available to stream in the video-on-demand format that indicates a start point of the video-on-demand media-format based on the bookmark.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first type of the first media content is a favorited media content item.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
identifying that a section of the second media content comprises strobing; and
stopping the generating for output of the section of the second media content that comprises strobing.
10. A system comprising:
input/output circuitry configured to:
generate, for output, a first media content on a device associated with a user;
processing circuitry configured to:
identify a first sleep-state event for the user;
based on the identifying the first sleep-state event for the user:
based on determining that a first type of the first media content matches a preferred media content type identified by a user profile:
stop generating the first media content for output;
select a second media content for aiding sleep; and
generate, for output, the second media content on the device associated with the user;
identify a second sleep-state event for the user; and
based on the identifying the second sleep-state event for the user:
based on determining that a second type of the second media content does not match the preferred media content type identified by the user profile:
continue to generate for output the second media content.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the system further comprises processing circuitry configured to generate a bookmark based on identifying the first sleep-state event.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system further comprises processing circuitry configured to:
access the user profile;
update a viewing history associated with the accessed user profile to indicate a resume point based on the generated bookmark.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein:
the first media content comprises metadata indicating a priority segment;
the processing circuitry further comprises processing circuitry configured to identify that the generated bookmark occurs at or before the priority segment; and
the resume point is further based on a time stamp of the priority segment.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first media content is an episode of a series of episodes, and the processing circuitry further comprises processing circuitry configured to disable an automatic playing of a subsequent episode of the series of episodes.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein:
the user profile is a first user profile associated with a first user;
identifying the first sleep-state event comprises receiving the first sleep-state event from a first user or a second user;
identifying, based on whether the first sleep-state event was received from the first user or the second user, the first user profile or a second user profile associated with a second user and accessing the identified first or second user profile; and
the processing circuitry further comprises processing circuitry configured to generate a bookmark based on receiving the first sleep-state event and update a viewing history associated with the identified user profile to indicate a resume point based on the generated bookmark.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first media content is live media content that is received in, at least substantially, real time, and the system further comprises processing circuitry configured to:
generate a bookmark based on receiving the first sleep-state event;
associate the bookmark with the user profile;
identify that the live media content subsequently becomes available to stream in a video-on-demand format;
generate, for output, an indication that the first media content is available to stream in the video-on-demand format that indicates a start point of the video-on-demand format based on the bookmark.
17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first type of the first media content is a favorited media content item.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the system further comprises processing circuitry configured to:
identify that a section of the second media content comprises strobing; and
stop the generating for output of the section of the second media content that comprises strobing.
