Patent Images
1. A method of providing a service on a data network, wherein:
- the method comprises receiving via the data network respective input data from a respective one of multiple mobile electronic communication devices of a respective one of multiple users;
each respective mobile electronic communication device comprises a respective sensor; and
a respective user-interface;
the respective sensor is configured for sensing a respective value of a respective physiological parameter indicative of a respective physiological state of the respective user;
the respective user-interface is configured for letting the respective user enter into the respective mobile electronic communication device a respective annotation about the respective physiological state;
the respective input data comprises;
respective physiological data representative of the respective value of the respective physiological parameter; and
respective annotation data representative of the respective annotation;
the method further comprises;
processing the respective input data for determining a respective emotional state of the respective user;
determining a respective geographical location of the respective mobile electronic communication device;
generating respective output data under combined control of the respective emotional state and of the respective geographical location;
transmitting the respective output data for each respective one of the users to a uniform pre-determined address of a display monitor system on the data network.

Abstract
Mobile electronic communication devices upload input data to a server via a data network. The data uploaded per device is indicative of a physiological or emotional state of the device'"'"'s user, and of the user'"'"'s geographical location. The server generates output data per individual user under combined control of the emotional state and geographic location of the individual user. The output data associated with multiple users is rendered as graphical symbols at one or more display monitors, thus being indicative of the geographical distribution of emotions of the population of users.
