METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENABLING MEDIA GUIDANCE APPLICATION OPERATIONS BASED ON BIOMETRIC DATA

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for encouraging particular behavior or performing particular actions based on biometric data of a user. Specifically, by granting and restricting access to media and other user devices based on whether or not a user is conforming to a biometric state, a media guidance application may encourage a user to maintain or achieve the desired biometric state.

1. A method for enabling media guidance application operations based on biometric data, the method comprising:
receiving a rule set, using control circuitry, associated with a desired biometric state of a user; determining, using the control circuitry, a media guidance application operation that is associated with adherence to the rule set; cross-referencing, using the control circuitry, the rule set with a database listing rules associated with rule sets to determine a rule that corresponds to the rule set; determining, using the control circuitry, a current biometric state of the user; comparing, using the control circuitry, the current biometric state of the user to the rule to determine whether the current biometric state of the user corresponds to the rule; and in response to determining that the current biometric state of the user corresponds to the rule, enabling the media guidance application operation.
