Abstract
Methods for detecting and validating an estimated situation using a situation-dependent predictor of a user response to token instances, including: receiving a temporal window of token instances and a putative situation for a user; predicting an expected response of the user to being exposed to the temporal window of token instances; receiving a value of a measurement channel of the user taken during exposure of the user to the temporal window of token instances; identifying that difference between the received value of the user measurement channel and the predicted expected response of the user is above a predefined threshold; and indicating that the putative situation is wrong.

2. A method for detecting a change in a situation of a user based on measurements of the user and a predictor of affective response to temporal windows of token instances, comprising:
-
receiving a first temporal window of token instances; predicting a first expected response of the user to being exposed to the first temporal window of token instances;
wherein the first expected response is expressed in terms of a value of a user measurement channel;receiving a first value of the user measurement channel taken during exposure of the user to the first temporal window of token instances; receiving a second temporal window of token instances; predicting a second expected response of the user to being exposed to the second temporal window of token instances;
wherein the second expected response is expressed in terms of a value of the user measurement channel;receiving a second value of the user measurement channel taken during exposure of the user to the second temporal window of token instances; identifying that difference between the first and the second expected responses is below a predefined threshold, while difference between the first and the second values of the user measurement channel is above the predefined threshold; and signaling that the situation of the user has changed. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
