Presenting Content Based on a State Change - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18343624 titled 'Presenting Content Based on a State Change
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for an electronic device that can determine its location and activity based on sensor data, and adjust sensor settings and power consumption accordingly.
- The electronic device maintains lists of possible locations and activities.
- Sensor data is used to determine the current location and activity of the device.
- If a change in location or activity is detected, additional sensor data is gathered from previously turned off sensors.
- The device may then decide to present content to the user based on the additional sensor data.
- The device can increase the sampling rate (and power consumption) of sensors in response to changes in location or activity.
Potential Applications
- Personalized content delivery based on user location and activity.
- Enhanced user experience in fitness tracking devices.
- Improved energy efficiency in smart devices.
Problems Solved
- Inefficient sensor data collection.
- Inaccurate location and activity tracking.
- Limited user engagement due to static content delivery.
Benefits
- More accurate location and activity tracking.
- Personalized user experience.
- Energy efficiency through optimized sensor usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may maintain a list of possible locations for the electronic device and a list of possible activities for the electronic device. The electronic device may gather sensor data and determine the location and the activity for the electronic device based on the sensor data. In response to detecting a change in the location and/or activity, the electronic device may obtain additional sensor data using at least one sensor that was previously turned off. Using the additional sensor data, the electronic device may make a determination to present content to the user. In response to detecting the change in the location and/or activity, the electronic device may increase a sampling rate (and power consumption) of at least one sensor.
