Measuring Physiological Response to Media for Viewership Modeling
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a media delivery device configured to provide media content to a viewer;
a sensor assembly attached to one or more parts of a user'"'"'s body, and configured to measure one or more physiological characteristics of the user while the viewer perceives the media content provided by the media delivery device;
a receiver circuit configured to receive data relating to the one or more physiological characteristics of the user; and
a physiological sensing process configured to interpret the physiological data to assess an emotional response of the viewer to the media content.

Abstract
Embodiments of a system to accurately record a viewer'"'"'s emotion as he or she is watching or listening to media content are described. The system records physiological data from viewers and transmits it back to a central location as viewers watch, listen to, or otherwise interact with media such as TV, radio, video games, web sites or other media. An integrated physiological sensing device measures viewers'"'"' cognitive and emotional responses to media and transmits to a base station in close proximity to the sensing device. The physiological sensing base station can be integrated into home electronics devices such as digital video recorders, TV cable boxes, video cassette recorders, DVD players and gaming systems to record viewer'"'"'s emotional and cognitive responses to the media and combining this response with context data from the electronics equipment to know what the viewer is responding to.
