Reducing transmissions of measurements of affective response by identifying actions that imply emotional response
First Claim
1. A system configured to reduce volume of transmissions of measurements of affective response, comprising:
- an interaction analyzer configured to receive a description of an interaction of a user with a media controller that controls progression of presentation of content consumed by the user;
the interaction analyzer is further configured to analyze the description in order to identify an action that causes a deviation from a typical progression of presentation of the content;
whereby the typical progression is a progression that would have occurred had the action not taken place;
a window selector configured to select a window during which the user likely expressed an affective response related to the action;
wherein the window is shorter than duration in which the user consumes the content; and
a transmitter configured to send a request to a measuring module to transmit measurements of affective response of the user, taken by a sensor, during the window;
wherein start of the window precedes time the request is sent.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer product for reducing volume of transmissions of measurements of affective response are described herein. In one embodiment, an interaction analyzer receives a description of an interaction of a user with a media controller that controls presentation of content to the user. The interaction analyzer identifies from the description an action that causes a deviation from a progression of presentation of the content that would have occurred had the action not taken place. A transmitter sends a request to transmit measurements of affective response, taken by a sensor, during a window during which the user likely expressed an affective response related to the action. In some embodiments, the request is received by a transceiver coupled to the sensor with memory sufficient to store measurements of affective response of the user taken since the start of the window, which precedes the time the request is sent.
