First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request specifying one or more target expressions;
causing, at least in part, acquisition of media including an expression of one or more emotions;
performing recognition analysis on the media to extract expression data;
matching the extracted expression data against reference data corresponding to the one or more target expressions; and
computing a similarity score between the extracted expression data and the matched target expression.

Abstract
An approach is provided for acquiring media corresponding to a target expression. The expression platform receives a request specifying one or more target expressions. Next, the expression platform causes, at least in part, acquisition of media including an expression of one or more emotions. Next, the expression platform performs recognition analysis on the media to extract expression data. Next, the expression platform matches the extracted expression data against reference data corresponding to the one or more target expressions. Then, the expression platform computes a similarity score between the extracted expression data and the matched target expression.
