Methods and Systems for Providing Feedback in Interactive, Interest Centric Communications Environment
First Claim
1. A method for providing feedback in an interest centric, interactive communications environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing one or more electronic devices configured to communicate over a communications network;
providing one or more servers configured to provide interactive data to the electronic devices over the communications network and to control the interactive data and to coordinate participant activities via the electronic devices over the communications network;
authenticating one or more participants by the electronic devices;
monitoring a condition of at least one of the participants via a capture device on the electronic device;
generating a condition signal responsive to the monitored condition and transmitting the condition signal to one of the servers;
analyzing by the server the condition signal to determine an emotional state of the participant;
providing feedback to the participant based upon the determined emotional state; and
modifying the interactive data based upon the determined emotional state, wherein the interactive data comprises at least one of interest items, relationship and resource items and stuff.
