Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A system comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
store an initial configuration setting of a network-connected object, wherein the initial configuration setting is associated with a first biometric state of a user, and wherein the initial configuration setting is part of a plurality of configuration settings corresponding to respective states of the network-connected object existing for a threshold period of time, the respective states being any arrangement of mechanical elements of the network-connected object when the mechanical elements are at resting positions, wherein the respective states of the network-connected object existing for the threshold period time is determined by:
monitoring for a user input entered by the user into the network-connected object;
determining that the user input entered by the user resulted in one of the respective states of the network-connected object; and
recording a length of time until a subsequent user input entered by the user results in a new state of the network-connected object;

receive a current biometric state of the user;
in response to determining that the current biometric state of the user matches the first biometric state of the user:
determine that a command was received via a user interface to adjust the initial configuration setting of the network-connected object to a new configuration setting; and
in response to the determining that the command was received within a predefined time after the determination that the current biometric state of the user matches the first biometric state of the user, modify the initial configuration setting to match the new configuration setting.
