Abstract:
An affective computing server (ACS) is described herein that is incorporated into a mobile wireless network management infrastructure. The ACS is configured to carry out a method over a mobile wireless network for maintaining a comfort status of a user of a wearable device. The ACS registers the wearable device associated with the user. The ACS receives, via a mobile wireless technology link, a user comfort status profile (UCSP) message issued by the wearable device, where the UCSP message includes at least a parameter value indicative of the comfort status of the user. The ACS processes the UCSP message to render a comfort control request based upon the UCSP. The ACS causes a sending of the comfort control request over a mobile wireless technology to an actuator (e.g. a heating/air conditioning system) for affecting a change in the comfort status of the user of the wearable device.
