System and method for personalized preference optimization

A system for determining at least one state of a user, said at least one state being one of an emotional state and a physical state of said user, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device in communication with said processor and for storing machine readable instructions, said machine readable instructions being adapted to perform the step of:
• receiving first biometric data of said user, said first biometric data being received from at least one sensor;
• using at least said first biometric data to infer a first state of said user at a time that said first biometric data is received;
• receiving self-reporting data from said user, said self-reporting data being received immediately after said first biometric data is received and allowing said user to explicitly identify their current state, said state being said first state or a third state;
• storing said first biometric data and said self-reporting data in said at least one memory device so that said first biometric data is linked to said self-reporting data;
• receiving a request from said user to perform an action, said request being received after said self-reporting data has been received;
• using at least said first biometric data, said request, and said self-reporting data to determine a second state of said user;
• and
• performing at least one action, said action being based on at least said second state, wherein said action is said requested action if said second state is normal and therefore consistent with said performance of said requested action and said at least one action is a second action if said second state is abnormal and therefore inconsistent with said performance of said requested action, said second action including then notifying said user of (i) said second state and (ii) an alternate action that could be performed instead of said requested action, wherein said alternate action is an unrequested action and different from said requested action, said alternate action being performed if said user indicates in the affirmative that said alternate action should be performed, otherwise, in the absence of said affirmative indication, performing said requested action.

A system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to determine a state and to use said state to perform at least one action, comprising:

• at least one server in communication with a wide area network (WAN);
• a mobile device in communication with said at least one server via said WAN, said mobile device comprising:
• at least one processor for downloading machine readable instructions from said at least one server;
• and
• at least one memory device for storing said machine readable instructions that are adapted to perform the step of:
• receiving first biometric data from said user, said first biometric data being acquire using at least one sensor and analyzed to infer a first state at a time that said first biometric data is received;
• receiving self-reporting data from said user, said first self-reporting data being received immediately after said first biometric data is received and allowing said user to provide the current state, thereby indicating whether said inferred state is correct;
• receiving a request from said user to perform an action, said request being received after said self-reporting data has been received;
• and
• wherein at least said first biometric data, said request, and said self-reporting data are used to determine a second state at a time that said request is received;
• wherein at least one action is performed after said second state is determined and in response to said request, said at least one action (i) being based on said second state, (ii) being said requested action if said second state is normal and therefore consistent with said performance of said requested action, and (iii) being a second action if said second state is abnormal and therefore inconsistent with said performance of said requested action, said second action including then notifying said user of (i) said second state and (ii) an alternate action that could be performed instead of said requested action, wherein said alternate action is an unrequested action and different from said requested action, said alternate action being performed if said user indicates in the affirmative that said alternate action should be performed, otherwise, in the absence of said affirmative indication, performing said requested action.
