Abstract

A system for passive collection of media experience data to increase efficiencies in identifying and delivering desired media content. Behavioral data measured with a wearable device and camera sensors, including physical activity and physiological data, may be captured during a media content presentation and analyzed with media contextual and experiential data to measure media experience data and render media connectedness values between a subject and the presented media content. A system may operate on a network with access to a web service program and utilize mechanized learning and artificial intelligence to compare the previously analyzed media experience data with contextual data associated with media content available on searchable databases. The system may share media experience data and analyzed results with a social network group which can use the media connectedness value data intelligence to refine search methods for media content. The system'"'"'s learning capabilities, for managing the described ongoing data collection ecosystem, will increasingly improve interpretive and analytic insights of a subject, their preferred choices media content, and the optimal conditions and environment for presenting specific media content with little or no input from the subject.
