Abstract
Provided is a method, system, and computer program product for dynamically enhancing the media consumption experience of a user. A processor may output media content selected by a user on a media playback device. The processor may receive data indicating a sleep state of the user from a determination device. The processor may alter the output of the media content based, at least in part, on a type of the media content and the sleep state of the user.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- outputting, by a processor, media content, wherein the media content is selected by a user;
- receiving, by the processor, first data indicating a sleep state of the user from a determination device associated with the user;
- altering, by the processor, the output of the media content based, at least in part, on a type of the media content and the sleep state of the user;
- monitoring, by the processor, data received from the determination device;
- receiving, by the processor, second data indicating the user is awake;
- and
- performing, by the processor and in response to receiving the second data indicating that the user is awake, an autonomous action regarding playback of the media content, wherein the autonomous action includes automatically resuming the media content.
A cognitive media playback system comprising:
- a media playback device communicatively coupled to a determination device associated with a user, wherein the media playback device includes:
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
- outputting media content, wherein the media content is selected by the user;
- receiving first data indicating a sleep state of the user from the determination device;
- and
- altering the output of the media content based, at least in part, on a type of the media content and the sleep state of the user;
- monitoring, by the processor, data received from the determination device;
- receiving, by the processor, second data indicating the user is awake;
- and
- performing, by the processor and in response receiving the second data indicating the user is awake, an autonomous action regarding playback of the media content, wherein the autonomous action includes automatically resuming the media content.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer-readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- outputting media content, wherein the media content is selected by a user;
- receiving first data indicating a sleep state of the user from a determination device associated with the user;
- and
- altering the output of the media content based, at least in part, on a type of the media content and the sleep state of the user;
- monitoring, by the processor, data received from the determination device;
- receiving, by the processor, second data indicating the user is awake;
- and
- performing, by the processor and in response receiving the second data, an autonomous action regarding playback of the media content, wherein the autonomous action includes automatically resuming the media content.
