Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a system configured to determine a position of a brain monitoring user device, and a brain state of a user. Based on the determined position and the determined brain state, the system provides access to a set of media guidance application operations corresponding to the determined brain state and to brain regions corresponding to the determined position of the brain monitoring user device.
Claims20
A method for providing media guidance application operations to a user, the method comprising:
- determining whether a first brain signal from a first brain region is detectable;
- in response to determining that the first brain signal from the first brain region is detectable, determining a first position of a user device on the user, the first position corresponding to the first brain region;
- comparing the determined first position of the user device with a first database of sets of media guidance application operations that are accessible based on positions of user devices to determine a set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible by the user based on the determined first position of the user device;
- providing to the user the set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible by the user based on the determined first position of the user device;
- and
- generating for display a message instructing the user that in order to access a different set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible from a second position of the user device, the user should reposition the user device to the second position.

A system comprising:
- storage circuitry configured to store a first database of sets of media guidance application operations that are accessible to a user device based on a positioning of the user device on a user;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine whether a first brain signal from a first brain region is detectable;
- in response to determining that the first brain signal from the first brain region is detectable, determine a first position of the user device on the user, the first position corresponding to the first brain region;
- compare the determined first position of the user device with the first database to determine a set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible by the user based on the determined first position of the user device;
- provide to the user the set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible by the user based on the determined first position of the user device;
- and
- generate for display a message instructing the user that in order to access a different set of interactive media guidance application operations that are accessible from a second position of the user device, the user should reposition the user device to the second position.
