Automatic contacts sorting

摘要

To automatically sort multiple contacts of a user, in some examples, a system may be configured to monitor physiological signals, which reflect the emotional responses, of the user during communications between the user and his/her contacts and, further, to classify the contacts into multiple contact groups that may be sorted by the emotional responses of the user.

1. A method for categorizing contacts, comprising:
generating a quality of experience (QoE) vector space for each of one or more contacts associated with a user; monitoring multiple communications between the user and each of the one or more contacts; collecting one or more physiological signals from the user during each of the multiple monitored communications; classifying each of the multiple monitored communications into multiple predetermined classifications; updating the QoE vector space for each of the one or more contacts based on the collected physiological signals; categorizing the one or more contacts into multiple contact groups in accordance with the updated QoE vector spaces, the categorizing including:
randomly selecting multiple QoE vector spaces, from the updated QoE vector spaces, as multiple centers,computing a distance value between each unselected QoE vector space and each of the multiple centers,clustering each unselected QoE vector space to one of the multiple centers that corresponds to a minimum one of the computed distance values to form the multiple contact groups,calculating a new center for each of the multiple contact groups,calculating a mean square value for each of the multiple contact groups,reverting to the computing of the distance value if the calculated mean square value is larger than a predetermined mean square value, andvalidating the categorizing if the calculated mean square value is less than or equal to the predetermined mean square value; and sorting the categorized contact groups based on the updated QoE vector spaces.
