SE phones will read your facial expression to select a playlist!

se-patent1

A recent patent application filed by Sony Ericsson indicates a technology that will enable front-facing cameras to click a user’s photo and analyse it to find the user’s mood and selec a playlist accordingly. A method may include playing a first song on a device, capturing an image of a user, performing facial expression recognition of the user based on the image, and selecting a second song based on a facial expression of the user.  Pretty neat!  This tops even the Sense Me application in my opinion.

  5. [...] Look, I can appreciate wanting to make our gadgets tune in to how we’re feeling and react appropriately. But does this really make sense? If I’m in a good mood, that doesn’t mean I’m grinning like an idiot. And just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I want to hear a certain song. Facial expressions don’t translate mood exactly, and a phone like this would definitely never be smart enough to figure out just what I want to listen to. I do a fine job of reading my moods and selecting the appropriate music already, thank you very much. [Slashgear via USEB] [...]
