Abstract
A method may include selecting a media file and determining if the selected media file has been indexed. If the media file has not been indexed, the method may include playing the selected media file on a media device while simultaneously measure a brainwave signal of a user with a sensor, where the brainwave signal indicates an attention level of the user. Next, the method may include indexing the media file by correlating the measured brainwave signal to the media file and storing the media file and the measured brainwave signal in storage device.
Claims20
A method for indexing a media file, the method comprising:
- receiving a selected media file;
- playing the selected media file on a media device while simultaneously measuring a brainwave signal of a user with a sensor, wherein the brainwave signal indicates an attention level of the user;
- indexing the media file by correlating the measured brainwave signal to the media file;
- and
- storing the media file and the measured brainwave signal in a storage device.
A system for indexing media files, the system comprising:
- a media device configured to play a media file;
- a sensor configured to simultaneously measure brainwave signals of a user, wherein the brainwave signal indicates an attention level of the user;
- a processor coupled to the sensor and configured to receive the measured brainwave signals and index the media file by correlating the measured brainwave signal to the media file;
- and
- a storage device coupled to the processor and configured to store the measured brainwave signal, the media file, and the correlation of the measured brainwave signal and the media file.
A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions, the instructions configured to, when executed by a processor:
- receive a selected media file;
- play the selected media file on a media device and simultaneously measure a brainwave signal of a user with a sensor, wherein the brainwave signal indicates an attention level of the user;
- index the media file by correlating the measured brainwave signal to the media file;
- and
- store the media file and the measured brainwave signal in memory.
