Abstract
A system and method for controlling consumption of data, the system including a data consumption device, an acquisition device and a back-end server. Information relating to a user is acquired, and an assessment whether the user is in a predetermined physical state is made. In response to assessing that the user is in the predetermined physical state, a signal is transmitted to reduce the data consumed by the data consuming device.
Claims20
A method for controlling data consumed by a data consuming device, the method comprising:
- checking whether the data consuming device is consuming data via a connection to a network;
- and
- in response to determining that the data consuming device is consuming the data via the connection to the network:
- acquiring first information about at least one physical attribute of a user;
- assessing whether the user is in a predetermined physical state using the first information about the at least one physical attribute;
- and
- transmitting a signal to reduce the data consumed by the data consuming device in response to assessing that the user is in the predetermined physical state,
- wherein when the user is assessed not to be in the predetermined physical state based on the first information, the method further comprises:
- acquiring second information relating to the user;
- assessing whether the user is in the predetermined physical state using the second information relating to the user;
- and
- transmitting a signal to reduce the data consumed by the data consuming device in response to assessing that the user is in the predetermined physical state,
- wherein the second information is a different type of information from the first information, and
- wherein assessing whether the user is in the predetermined physical state includes confirming that the user is in the predetermined physical state for at least a predetermined amount of time before transmitting the signal to reduce data consumed by the data consuming device.
11 more elements
A system for controlling data consumption, comprising:
- a back-end server connected to a network, the back-end server providing data to a data consuming device via the network;
- wherein the back-end server comprises a processor configured to:
- receive, via the network, first information about at least one physical attribute of a user that is acquired by an acquisition device;
- assess the first information about the at least one physical attribute of the user to determine whether the user is in a predetermined physical state;
- and
- in response to determining that the user is in the predetermined physical state, transmit a signal, via the network, to reduce data consumed by the data consuming device,
- wherein when the user is determined not to be in the predetermined physical state based on the first information, the processor of the back-end server is further configured to:
- receive second information relating to the user, wherein the second information is a different type of information from the first information;
- assess the second information to determine whether the user is in the predetermined physical state using the second information;
- and
- in response to determining that the user is in the predetermined physical state, transmit a signal, via the network, to reduce data consumed by the data consuming device,
- wherein determining that the user is in the predetermined physical state includes confirming that the user is in the predetermined physical state for at least a predetermined amount of time before transmitting the signal to reduce data consumed by the data consuming device.
9 more elements
A system for controlling data consumption, comprising:
- a data consuming device comprising a first processor;
- and
- an acquisition device that comprises a second processor configured to:
- acquire first information about at least one physical attribute of a user;
- and
- transmit the first information to the data consuming device;
- wherein the first processor of the data consuming device is configured to:
- assess the first information and, based on the first information, determine whether the user is in a predetermined physical state;
- and
- in response to determining that the user is in the predetermined physical state, reduce data consumption by the data consuming device;
- and
- when the user is determined not to be in the predetermined physical state based on the first information:
- acquire second information relating to the user;
- assess the second information and, based on the second information, determine whether the user is in the predetermined physical state,
- wherein the second information is a different type of information from the first information, and
- wherein determining whether the user is in the predetermined physical state includes confirming that the user is in the predetermined physical state for at least a predetermined amount of time before transmitting the signal to reduce data consumed by the data consuming device.
