Abstract

A system, method and program product are provided for processing reactions. A disclosed system provides a content loader for inputting content items from content provider nodes; a content publication system for publishing a content item to at least one channel node, wherein the channel node provides a platform for displaying the content item and simultaneously capturing reaction content; an aggregation system for aggregating content items and associated reaction content in a database; an analysis system for analyzing reaction content to create reaction analysis data; and a reporting system for outputting reaction content and reaction analysis data.

Claims

1. A system for processing reactions, comprising:

a content loader for inputting content items from content provider nodes;

a content publication system for publishing a content item to at least one channel node, wherein the channel node provides a platform for displaying the content item and simultaneously capturing reaction content;

an aggregation system for aggregating content items and associated reaction content in a database;

an analysis system for analyzing reaction content to create reaction analysis data; and

a reporting system for outputting reaction content and reaction analysis data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one channel node is selected from a group consisting of:

a web page, a social media platform, a smart device, a kiosk, a computer system, and an application.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the content items and reaction content comprise video data.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the analysis system includes a facial analysis system that examines video frames from the reaction content to determine an emotional response and demographic information.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the demographic information includes age and gender data.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the reaction analysis data includes a set of emotional responses occurring over a time period corresponding to the reaction content.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a dashboard that includes an interface for uploading content items;

an interface for viewing content items and associated reaction content; and

an interface for viewing reaction analysis data.

8. A reaction capture system, comprising:

an interface displayable on a computing device, wherein the interface includes a system for receiving a notification of a video content item available for display;

a display system for causing the video content item to be displayed;

a capture system for causing video reaction content to be captured with a recording device simultaneously with the video content item being displayed; and

an on-the-fly video processing system that processes the video reaction content as it is being captured, wherein the processing formats the video reaction content into a non-native format having parameters different than the default parameters of the recording device.

9. The reaction capture system of claim 8, further comprising an echo cancellation system that eliminates echoing caused by the simultaneous playing of audio data from the video content item and an auditory reaction of a viewer.

10. The reaction capture system of claim 8, wherein the interface includes a split screen mode to simultaneously playback the video content item and video reaction content.

11. The reaction capture system of claim 8, wherein the interface includes a mode for allowing a viewer to re-record video reaction content.

12. The reaction capture system of claim 8, wherein the notification of a video content item available for display is received from a reaction processing server, and wherein the video reaction content is automatically sent to the reaction processing server.

13. The reaction capture system of claim 8, further comprising a system for sending content items to a set of identified recipients.

14. A computerized method for processing reactions, comprising:

inputting content items from content provider nodes into a computerized storage;

publishing a content item to at least one channel node, wherein the channel node provides a platform for displaying the content item and simultaneously capturing reaction content;

aggregating content items and associated reaction content in a database;

analyzing reaction content to create reaction analysis data; and

outputting reaction content and reaction analysis data.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the at least one channel node is selected from a group consisting of:

a web page, a social media platform, a smart device, a kiosk, a computer system, and an application.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the content items and reaction content comprise video data.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the analyzing includes performing a facial analysis that examines video frames from the reaction content to determine an emotional response and demographic information.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the demographic information includes age and gender data.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the reaction analysis data includes a set of emotional responses occurring over a time period corresponding to the reaction content.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising providing a dashboard that includes an interface for uploading content items;

an interface for viewing content items and associated reaction content; and

an interface for viewing reaction analysis data.
