Abstract
The present disclosure relates to using user biometric characteristics measured while the user is viewing virtual reality content to provide suggestions for downloadable virtual reality content in a virtual reality content store. An exemplary user device determines a criterion based on the user characteristics to filter the virtual reality content so that only virtual reality content that meets the criterion are displayed to the user. The virtual reality content displayed in the virtual reality content store has a corresponding activity level score.
Claims25
An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more biometric sensors;
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving a request to display downloadable virtual reality content from a virtual reality content store;
- prior to displaying the downloadable virtual reality content from the virtual reality content store, determining a criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, wherein the biometric characteristics are based on a change in one or more physiological states of a user detected while the user is viewing virtual reality content;
- and
- in accordance with receiving the request to display the downloadable virtual reality content from the virtual reality content store:
- concurrently displaying, on the display:
- one or more affordances representing downloadable virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, and
- one or more affordances representing downloadable virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, wherein the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics are prioritized based on the one or more biometric characteristics over the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, and wherein the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics are different from the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with one or more biometric sensors and a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving a request to display downloadable virtual reality content from a virtual reality content store;
- prior to displaying the downloadable virtual reality content from the virtual reality content store, determining a criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, wherein the biometric characteristics are based on a change in one or more physiological states of a user detected while the user is viewing virtual reality content;
- and
- in accordance with receiving the request to display the downloadable virtual reality content from the virtual reality content store:
- concurrently displaying, on the display:
- one or more affordances representing downloadable virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, and
- one or more affordances representing downloadable virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, wherein the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics are prioritized based on the one or more biometric characteristics over the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, and wherein the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics are different from the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics.
4 more elements
A method of using user biometric characteristics in relation to downloadable virtual reality content, comprising:
- at an electronic device with one or more biometric sensors and a display:
- receiving a request to display downloadable virtual reality content from a virtual reality content store;
- prior to displaying the downloadable virtual reality content from the virtual reality content store, determining a criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, wherein the biometric characteristics are based on a change in one or more physiological states of a user detected while the user is viewing virtual reality content;
- and
- in accordance with receiving the request to display the downloadable virtual reality content from the virtual reality content store:
- concurrently displaying, on the display:
- one or more affordances representing downloadable virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, and
- one or more affordances representing downloadable virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, wherein the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics are prioritized based on the one or more biometric characteristics over the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics, and wherein the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics are different from the one or more affordances representing virtual reality content that do not meet the criterion based on one or more biometric characteristics.
