Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, Nov. 24, according to the China Patent announcement of the State intellectual property Office, the "stress testing" patent applied by Apple was announced today.

CTOnews.com collates the patent summary as follows:

Specific implementation includes an apparatus, system, and method for determining the pressure level of the user during the presentation of the content.

The exemplary process may include obtaining physiological data associated with the user during experience in the environment

Environment-based sensor data to determine the context of the experience

Determine the user stress level during a part of the experience based on the physiological data obtained and the context of the experience

Provide feedback mechanism during the experience based on stress level.

The patent's "background technology" describes that when viewing content on electronic devices, the user's stress level may have a significant impact on the user's experience. For example, stress awareness can help promote more meaningful experiences, such as watching educational or entertainment content, learning new skills, reading documents, playing video games, or social interactions. Improved techniques for evaluating the stress levels of users viewing content and interacting with content can enhance users' enjoyment, understanding, and learning of content.

In addition, content may not be presented in a way that reduces pressure on specific users. Content creators and systems can provide a user experience that users are more likely to enjoy, understand, and learn from, and more targeted, based on stress level information.
