Systems and methods for ensuring that critical computing decisions are intentionally made

摘要

A computer-implemented method for ensuring that critical computing decisions are intentionally made may include (1) detecting a request from a user to perform a computing act, (2) measuring, using a biofeedback sensor coupled to the computing device, physiological activity of the user that is indicative of a concentration level of the user, (3) determining, based on the measured physiological activity of the user, the user's concentration level, (4) identifying a requisite concentration level associated with the requested computing act, (5) determining whether the user's concentration level satisfies the requisite concentration level associated with the requested computing act, and then (6) preventing the requested computing act from occurring if the user's concentration level fails to satisfy the requisite concentration level associated with the requested computing act. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for ensuring that critical computing decisions are intentionally made, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
detecting, by the computing device, a request from a user to perform a computing act; measuring, using a biofeedback sensor coupled to the computing device, physiological activity of the user that is indicative of a concentration level of the user; determining, based on the measured physiological activity of the user, the user's concentration level; identifying, by the computing device, a requisite concentration level associated with the requested computing act; determining, by the computing device, whether the user's concentration level satisfies the requisite concentration level associated with the requested computing act; preventing, by the computing device, the requested computing act from occurring if the user's concentration level fails to satisfy the requisite concentration level associated with the requested computing act.
