Predictive controller adapting application execution to influence user psychological state

摘要

A “Predictive Controller” operates with any type of controller or user input device to predict user inputs or responses to a current state of an application. A predictive model of the current state of the application is applied to prior user inputs to jointly predict a current user-specific psychological state or profile of the user and a predicted next user response or input. The predicted response or input is provided as the user input to the particular application prior to receiving the actual user input, thereby reducing latency of the response of the application to that actual user input. In addition, a tangible feedback corresponding to the predicted next user input is provided. Further, the predictive capabilities of the Predictive Controller can be applied to locally or remotely hosted instances of the application to reduce latencies associated with user inputs received from any type of controller or user input device.
