Abstract
Media content recommendation systems and methods are operable to recommend one or more media content events to a user based on identified changes in the user's emotional state during a life event that is experienced by the user.
Claims20
A method for recommending media content to a user based on emotions of the user, the method comprising:
- receiving Electroencephalography (EEG) information corresponding to a plurality of brain wave lines of a user;
- receiving image information captured by an image capture device that is oriented in a direction of a visual field of view of the user while the EEG information is acquired, wherein the EEG information and the image information are concurrently acquired;
- identifying an emotional state change of the user based on the received EEG information;
- identifying a candidate object in the captured image information, wherein the candidate object corresponds to a physical object seen by the user at a time when the emotional state change of the user was identified;
- and
- identifying one of the plurality of media content events as a recommended media content event based on the candidate object that was identified in the image information.

A device, comprising:
- a transceiver or connector that communicatively couples an emotional state monitor (ESM) to the device,
- wherein the ESM communicates Electroencephalograph (EEG) information corresponding to a plurality of brain wave lines of a user being monitored by the ESM, and
- wherein the ESM communicates image information captured by an image capture device of the ESM that is oriented in a direction of a visual field of view of the user while the EEG information is acquired, and
- wherein the EEG information and the image information are concurrently acquired;
- a memory that stores the EEG information and the image information;
- and
- a processor system, wherein the processor system is configured to:
- identify an emotional state change of the user based on the received EEG information;
- identify a candidate object in the captured image information, wherein the candidate object corresponds to a physical object seen by the user at a time when the emotional state change of the user was identified;
- and
- identify one of the plurality of media content events as a recommended media content event based on the candidate object that was identified in the image information.
