Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the invention control a device based on physiological measurements associated with a user. A determination is made that a user has manually adjusted a controlled device. A context associated with the user is identified in response to determining that the user has manually adjusted the controlled device. A change is detected in at least one physiological measurement associated with the user in response to the controlled device being manually adjusted. A target physiological measurement associated with at least one physiological measurement is modified based on the change that has been detected. The context that has been identified is associated with the target physiological measurement that has been modified.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a device based on physiological measurements associated with a user, the method comprising: determining, with a processor, that a user has manually adjusted a controlled device; identifying a context associated with the user in response to determining that the user has manually adjusted the controlled device; detecting a change, in response to the controlled device being manually adjusted, in at least one physiological measuremen…
