savramesh 37 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 Techtree News Staff, May 22, 2009 1524 hrs IST One of Sony Ericsson's discrete patent applications has been bought to light by folks over at SlashGear The interesting patent application talks about a system whereby, a cellphone could be controlled by facial expressions. Well, we're not talking about complete controls but from what it seems, the idea is to control music playlists, sort and play them depending on your mood, seen from your facial expressions. The patent application is interestingly titled "Generating music playlist based on facial expression". As to how this one actually works, it will use the phone camera to take a snapshot of your face and then "compare" it with internally stored presents. There is also another complex implementation in the works where a brief video could be captured, tracking emotional states of happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear, disgust and the likes. This is a bit on the lines of the SenseMe application that current Sony Ericsson phones sport. Back in April, Opera had us in splits when they announced the Opera Face Gestures gimmick as a new addition to the ever growing features on Opera. Now, the current patent application from Sony Ericsson doesn't feel much different, does it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
