摘要

A system for minimizing interactions with at least an input mechanism includes at least a management server communicatively coupled to at least a user endpoint device, at least one storage device, and at least one processor. The user endpoint device has at least a display, an input mechanism, and a transmitter mechanism. The storage device is configured to store data based on content displayed on the display, interactions with the input mechanism, and content available for viewing. The processor is configured to use software to process the data such that a layout configuration of content data is prepared for display. The layout configuration is derived from at least the interactions with the input mechanism and the layout configuration is designed to minimize additional user interactions with the input mechanism to select the prepared content data.

1. A system for minimizing interactions with at least an input mechanism, comprising:
at least a management server communicatively coupled to at least a user endpoint device, the user endpoint device comprising at least a display configured to display content, a receiver configured to receive content, an input mechanism configured to change the content displayed on the display, and a transmitter mechanism configured to communicate data related to interactions with the input mechanism and the displayed content, the management server further communicatively coupled to at least one processor, at least one storage device, and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing software configured to perform data processing, the at least one storage device configured to store data based on content displayed on the display, interactions with the input mechanism, and content available for viewing, the at least one processor configured to use the software to process the data such that a layout configuration of content data is prepared for display and the layout configuration is derived from at least the interactions with the input mechanism and the layout configuration is designed to minimize additional user interactions with the input mechanism to select the prepared content data, and a preference software stored in a computer readable storage medium that is communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor prepares weighted Gaussian distributions representing user preferences based on content selection and input mechanism interactions, and wherein the system is configured to accumulate and store a number of Gaussian distributions over a period of time and the processor is configured to iteratively compare the Gaussian distributions to detect changes in the user's mood.
