Abstract
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and a computer program product are provided for deriving optimal physical space and ambiance conditions for a user. A physical space analyzer comprising an information sensor and an optimal space analyzer detects a broadcast of characteristics of a set of nearby physical spaces. In turn, the physical space analyzer produces a ranking of the set of nearby physical spaces using the characteristics based on preferences of the user as expressed by the user's profile. An ambiance optimizer is provided to refine the ranking of the set of nearby physical spaces based on dynamically input preferences of the user.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for deriving optimal physical space and ambiance conditions for a user, the computer implemented method comprising:
- detecting a broadcast of characteristics from a set of physical spaces within a selected distance from the user;
- producing a ranking of the set of physical spaces using the characteristics based on preferences of the user as expressed by a user profile for the user;
- and
- refining the ranking of the set of physical spaces based on dynamically input preferences of the user.
A data processing system comprising:
- a bus system;
- a communications system connected to the bus system;
- a memory connected to the bus system, wherein the memory includes a set of instructions;
- and
- a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to detect a broadcast of characteristics from a set of physical spaces within a selected distance from the user;
- produce a ranking of the set of physical spaces using the characteristics based on preferences of the user as expressed by a user profile for the user;
- and refine the ranking of the set of physical spaces based on dynamically input preferences of the user.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer usable medium having computer usable program code for deriving optimal physical space and ambiance conditions for a user, the computer program product comprising:
- computer usable program code for detecting a broadcast of characteristics from a set of physical spaces within a selected distance from the user;
- computer usable program code for producing a ranking of the set of physical spaces using the characteristics based on preferences of the user as expressed by a user profile for the user;
- and
- computer usable program code for refining the ranking of the set of physical spaces based on dynamically input preferences of the user.
