Utilizing semantic analysis to determine how to measure affective response
First Claim
1. A system configured to use semantic analysis to measure affective response at varying measuring rates, comprising:
- a semantic analyzer configured to;
receive a first segment of content, analyze the first segment utilizing semantic analysis, and output a first indication that a first value related to a predicted emotional response to the first segment does not reach a first predetermined threshold;
wherein the first segment comprises data representing text; and
a controller configured to select, based on the first indication, a first measuring rate for a device for measuring affective response of a user to the first segment;
the semantic analyzer is further configured to;
receive a second segment of content, analyze the second segment utilizing semantic analysis, and output a second indication that a second value related to a predicted emotional response to the second segment does reach a second predetermined threshold;
wherein the second segment comprises data representing text;
the controller is further configured to select, based on the second indication, a second measuring rate for the device for measuring affective response of the user to the second segment;
wherein the device takes significantly fewer measurements of affective response, per unit of measurement time, while operating at the first measuring rate, compared to number of measurements of affective response the device takes while operating at the second measuring rate.

Abstract
A semantic analyzer receives a segment of content, analyzes it utilizing semantic analysis, and outputs an indication regarding whether a value related to a predicted emotional response to the segment reaches a predetermined threshold. Based on the indication, a controller selects a measuring rate, from amongst at least first and second measuring rates, at which a device is to take measurements of affective response of a user to the segment. The first rate may be selected when the value does not reach the predetermined threshold, while the second mode may be selected when the value does reach it. The device takes significantly fewer measurements while operating at the first measuring rate, compared to number of measurements it takes while operating at the second measuring rate.

12. A method for utilizing semantic analysis to set a measuring rate of a device that measures affective response, comprising:
-
receiving a first indication derived from an evaluation comprising semantic analysis of a first segment of content;
wherein the first segment comprises data representing text;determining that the first indication indicates that a first value related to a prediction of emotional response to the first segment does not reach a first predetermined threshold, and configuring the device to measure, at a first measuring rate, affective response of a user to the first segment; receiving a second indication derived from an evaluation comprising semantic analysis of a second segment of content;
wherein the second segment comprises data representing text; anddetermining that the second indication indicates that a second value related to a prediction of emotional response to the second segment reaches a second predetermined threshold, and configuring the device to measure, at a second measuring rate, affective response of the user to the second segment; wherein the device takes significantly fewer measurements of affective response, per unit of measurement time, while operating at the first measuring rate, compared to number of measurements of affective response the device takes while operating at the second measuring rate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system configured to enable a device to measure affective response at varying measuring rates based on semantic analysis of content, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive first and second indications derived from evaluations comprising semantic analysis of first and second segments of content, respectively; wherein the first and second segments comprise data representing text; and wherein the first indication indicates that a first value, which is a function of emotional response the first segment, does not reach a first predetermined threshold, and the second indication indicates that a second value, which is a function of emotional response to the second segment, does reach a second predetermined threshold; a processor configured to select, based on the first and second indications, first and second measuring rates for measuring affective response, respectively; and a controller operable to configure the device to measure the affective response of a user according to the first and second measuring rates; wherein the device takes significantly fewer measurements, per unit of measurement time, while operating at the first measuring rate to measure affective response of the user to the first segment, compared to number of measurements the device takes while operating at the second measuring rate to measure affective response of the user to the second segment.
