1. A System and method for fast and nuance evaluation of the nature and/or intensity of the Sentiment of a person (herein the “Respondent”) in regard of a predefined Sentiment Indicator (herein the “Indicator”), with this person reacting to that Indicator by sliding one or several fingers on a touch sensitive surface, which sliding is instantly analyzed and compared by the System to predefined Patterns (herein a “Pattern”) for if there is a match between the Sliding and a Pattern the sliding is then translated into a Value representative of that sliding (herein the “Value”), Value that is available for instant or deferred processing, sharing or rendering on a screen (herein the “Rendering”),
Where the term “Sentiment” refers to either the perception of an object or phenomenon, a mental feeling or sensibility, an emotion or humor, a thought or idea, an opinion, a view or attitude, or any combination of such Sentiments, Where the term “Sentiment Indicator” or “Indicator” refers to a string of characters, a digital code, or any visual or audio element that a Respondent can interpret as a metrics of the nature and/or intensity of a Sentiment, Where the term “Pattern” refers to a set of data defining a recognizable finger(s) sliding on a touch sensitive surface, which data may includes any recognizable characteristics of a finger(s) sliding, as for example the path, length, speed and/or duration of the sliding, or a sequence of such Patterns, Where the term “Value” refers to an indication of the nature and/or intensity of a Sentiment in response to a Sentiment Indicator, which Value is either a numerical data, an alphanumerical data, an index to point out an element in a list of predefined data, or a set of such Values, Where the term “Rendering” refers to a representation of a Value to be displayed on a screen, typically a number, which figures out the nature and/or intensity of a Sentiment, Where the said System includes the following elements: a method (herein the “Method”), set(s) of Indicator(s), sliding Pattern(s), Rendering option(s), and Electronics Equipment and software code to support the method, Where the Method consists in evaluating the nature and/or the intensity of the Sentiment of a Respondent by this Respondent reacting to an Indicator selected by him or automatically presented to him, where the Respondent's reaction to an Indicator is performed by the Respondent sliding one or several fingers on a touch sensitive surface (reaction herein referred as the “Sliding”), which Sliding is instantly captured, digitalized, analyzed and compared to predefined simple or complex Sliding Patterns by an electronic Equipment (herein the “Equipment”) running Pattern recognition software, where the Sliding matching a predefined Pattern is instantly translated by the Equipment into a value (herein the “Value”) that is rendered by the Equipment on a screen simultaneously to the Sliding (the “Rendering”) in order for the Respondent to visualize, adjust, redo and/or validate the figured Sentiment's nature or intensity, Where the set(s) of Indicator(s) is predefined prior to the execution of the method, or entered by the Respondent or an Operator during the execution of the method, or loaded into the system from an external local or remote equipment before or during the execution of the method, where each Indicator can be defined or not with a preset Rendering option, Where the sliding Pattern(s) is predefined prior to the execution of the method or loaded into the system from an external local or remote equipment before or during the execution of the method, where a Pattern can be for the recognition of a simple finger(s) transversal sliding across the touch sensitive surface, or for the recognition of more complex sliding figures, Where the Electronic Equipment and software code include the components to support the method, to say as a minimum: a) a screen to display Indicator(s), Rendering, and optionally Sliding path and/or Topics,
a touch sensitive surface (optionally with the screen) with the electronics to catch and digitalize the finger(s) sliding, b) electronic memory and software code to store and read the data for Indicators and Patterns definition, and to store and read the Values, c) electronic data processing circuit and software code in order to load and display Indicators on the screen, in order to analyze the finger(s) sliding data against predefined Patterns and to translate this sliding into the corresponding Values, in order to select a Rendering for the Value and to display this Rendering on the screen, and optionally in order to share data with external local and/or remote equipments. Where either only a single Indicator can be submitted at once or several Indicators can be submitted at once, each Indicator in both cases along with related Rendering. |
