Systems and methods for determining social perception
First Claim
1. A system for evaluating communicative acts to determine a social perception network based on communicative acts between a plurality of communicative pairs, each of the plurality of communicative pairs including two communicating entities participating in a corresponding one or more of the communicative acts, the system comprising:
- a patterns database storing behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a social perception score associated with each one of the particular behaviors, wherein the communicative acts include non-verbal communicative acts;
a scoring processor in communication with the patterns database and configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for the communicative pair based on ones of the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts between the two communicating entities of the communicative pair, wherein;
the communicative pair is one of a plurality of communicative pairs each including a different two communicating entities, andthe scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each one of the plurality of communicative pairs based on ones of the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts between a corresponding one of the different two communicating entities of the communicative pair; and
a communications network aggregation processor configured to combine the pairwise social perception scores for each one of the plurality of communicative pairs, received from the scoring processor, into the social perception network representation including a plurality of entities in the social perception network and indicating a respective social perception level of each of the plurality of entities relative to other ones of the plurality of entities, the plurality of entities including the two communicating entities of each one of the plurality of communicative pairs.

Abstract
A system for evaluating communicative acts, between a plurality of communicative pairs, to determine a social network perception representation. Each communicative pair includes two entities participating in a corresponding one or more of the communicative acts. The system includes a patterns database, a scoring processor, and a communications network aggregation processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a social perception score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The communicative acts include non-verbal communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for each communicative pair based on the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs. The communications network aggregation processor combines the pairwise social perception scores into a social perception network representation.

12. A method of constructing a organizational chart, the method comprising:
-
gathering data regarding a plurality of captured communicative acts occurring between two parties, the two parties defining a sender and receiver pair, and the communicative acts including at least one verbal communicative act and at least one non-verbal communicative act; using a processor and predefined behavior based patterns stored in at least one database to score each of the plurality of captured communicative acts to determine a plurality of social perception scores for the sender and receiver pair, each one of the plurality of social perception scores representing a perceived social difference between the sender and receiver pair for a respective one of the plurality of captured communicative acts based at least in part on non-verbal behaviors used during the respective one of the plurality of captured communicative acts; and combining the plurality of social perception scores for the captured communicative acts occurring between the sender and receiver pair to construct a combined social perception score for the sender and receiver pair indicating the perceived social difference between the sender and receiver pair based on all of the plurality of captured communicative acts between the sender and receiver pair; wherein; the sender and receiver pair is one of a plurality of sender and receiver pairs in a group, and the processor determines a different combined social perception score for each one of the of plurality of sender and receiver pairs, and the method further comprises using an aggregating hardware engine to aggregate the different combined social perception scores for each of the plurality of sender and receiver pairs to construct the organizational chart for the group, the organizational chart for the group indicating relative social perceptions between all individuals in the group that form part of the plurality of sender and receiver pairs. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product for determining a social perception network, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
a first executable portion for receiving a representation for each of a plurality of communicative acts occurring between a pair of communicative entities, wherein the plurality of communicative acts includes at least one verbal communicative act and at least one non-verbal communicative act; and a second executable portion for determining a pairwise social perception score for the communicative pair, wherein the pairwise social perception score is based on behavior strategies used during the plurality of communicative acts occurring between the pair of communicative entities; wherein; the pair of communicative entities are part of an organization having more than two entities, the second executable portion determines a pairwise social perception score for other entities in the organization based on communicative acts in addition to the plurality of communicative acts between the pair of communicative entities, and the computer program product further includes a third executable portion for compiling the pairwise social perception scores for the pair of communicative entities and the other entities in the organization to construct the social perception network for the organization indicating relative social perception between all entities in the organization that participated in the plurality of communicative acts and the communicative acts in addition to the plurality of communicative acts. - View Dependent Claims (20)
