EMOTION RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING, MONITORING, PREDICTING AND BROADCASTING A USER'S EMOTIVE STATE

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for assessing, monitoring and predicting a person's emotive state based on the person's day-to-day social and physical activity, including biometric, geospatial and other data, and storing the emotive state in a form that can be used by others to enhance interaction with the person. Such interaction may be in the form of downloadable application, such as a video game, in which the play interaction is altered based upon the detected emotive state of the player.

1. A method for enhancing an interaction with a user based upon information about the current emotive state of the user, the method comprising:
uploading an application to a mobile computerized device of a user whose present and later emotive states are desired for use in enhancing the interaction with the user; detecting and collecting metric data comprising biometric, geo-spatial and/or activity information about the user by way of one or more sensors associated with or in communication with the mobile computerized device; using the metric data to make further determinations about the user's emotive state, the user's emotive state comprising one of a plurality of categories of emotive states; applying pre-determined weights to each metric with respect to one of the plurality of emotive states so that the relevance of the metric data to such emotive state is taken into consideration; periodically updating each of the weights to reflect changes in the relevance of the metric data to the emotive state to be determined; determining a value corresponding to each of the emotive states; and using the emotive state values to enhance interaction with the user.
