Patent ID: 8275635

Claim:
A computer-system-implemented method of controlling a separate device, the computer system having at least one programmed processor to implement the method, the method comprising: continuously collecting data components of an individual from a wearable sensor device; collecting another set of data components of the individual from a source separate from the wearable device; and providing a database accessible by said computer system comprising data structures of other individuals, wherein said data structures of the other individuals are related to known human traits, the computer system— (i) utilizing collected data components from the wearable sensor device to identify activities in which the individual is engaged during the individual's daily life; (ii) assembling a data structure from a plurality of data components wherein at least one set of data components of the data structure comprises the collected data components from the wearable sensor device, the set of data components collected from the wearable device corresponding to a plurality of said identified activities in which the individual is engaged during the individual's daily life, and wherein at least one other set of data components of the data structure comprises the another set of data components of the individual from a source separate from the wearable device; (iii) accessing said database to determine a similarity of the data structure with data structures of the other individuals; and (iv) based on the determination, predicting a human trait of the individual, wherein at least one operational attribute of a separate device in electronic communication with the computer system is modified based on the data structure.
