Systems and methods for determining social perception
First Claim
1. A system for evaluating communicative acts to determine a social perception network representation 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;
a scoring processor in communication with the patterns database and configured to determine a first 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 occurring during a first time frame, 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 first 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 during the first time frame and to determine a different second 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 during a second time frame differing from the first time frame; and
a communications network aggregation processor configured to combine the different first pairwise social perception scores for each one of the plurality of communicative pairs, received from the scoring processor, into a first social perception network representation including a plurality of entities in the social perception network and indicating a first respective social perception level of each of the plurality of entities relative to other ones of the plurality of entities during the first time frame and to combine the different second pairwise social perception scores for each one of the plurality of communicative pairs, received from the scoring processor, into a second social perception network representation including the plurality of entities in the social perception network and indicating a second respective social perception level of each of the plurality of entities relative to other ones of the plurality of entities during the second time frame, 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 communicative pairs to determine a social perception network representation. Each communicative pair includes two entities participating in a communicative act. The system includes 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 of the particular behaviors. The scoring processor determines a first pairwise social perception score for each communicative pair based on the particular behaviors in the communicative acts occurring during a first time frame. The scoring processor determines a different first pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs during a first time frame and determines a different second social perception score for each of the communicative pairs during a second time frame. The communications network aggregation processor combines the pairwise social perception scores into a first social perception network representation.

12. A method of constructing organizational charts, the method comprising:
-
gathering data regarding a plurality of captured communicative acts occurring between two parties during a first time period, the two parties defining a sender and receiver pair; using a processor and predefined behavior based patterns stored in at least one database to score each of the plurality of captured communicative acts occurring during the first time period to determine a plurality of first social perception scores for the sender and receiver pair, each one of the plurality of first 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 during the respective one of the plurality of captured communicative acts occurring during the first time period; and combining the plurality of first social perception scores for the captured communicative acts occurring between the sender and receiver pair during the first time period to construct a combined first social perception score for the sender and receiver pair indicating the perceived social difference between the sender and receiver pair during the first time period based on the plurality of captured communicative acts between the sender and receiver pair during the first time period, 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 first social perception score for each one of the of the plurality of sender and receiver pairs; using an aggregating hardware engine to aggregate the different combined first social perception scores for each of the plurality of sender and receiver pairs to construct a first organizational chart for the group, the first 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 during the first time period; determining a second social perception score for the sender and receiver pair indicating the perceived social distance between the sender and the receiver pair during a second time period that differs from the first time period, the second social perception score being based on a plurality of captured communicative acts between the second and receive pair during the second time period. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

-
a first executable portion for receiving a representation for each of a plurality of communicative acts occurring between a pair of communicative entities during each of a first time frame and a second time frame that differs from the first time frame; and a second executable portion for determining a first pairwise social perception score for the communicative pair during the first time frame and for determining a second pairwise social perception score for the communicative pair during the second time frame, wherein the first pairwise social perception score is based on behavior strategies used during the plurality of communicative acts occurring between the pair of communicative entities during the first time frame, and the second pairwise social perception score is based on behavior strategies used during the plurality of communicative acts occurring between the pair of communicative entities during the second time frame; wherein; the pair of communicative entities are part of an organization having more than two entities, the second executable portion determines a first pairwise social perception score and a second 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 first pairwise social perception scores for the pair of communicative entities and the other entities in the organization to construct a first 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 during the first time frame. - View Dependent Claims (22)
