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 comprising data representing first text;
the semantic analyzer is further configured to utilize semantic analysis to generate a first feature that describes an aspect of a meaning of a portion of the first text;
the semantic analyzer is further configured to generate, based on the first feature, a first indication that a first value related to a predicted emotional response to the first segment does not reach a first predetermined threshold; 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 comprising data representing second text;
the semantic analyzer is further configured to utilize semantic analysis to generate a second feature that describes an aspect of a meaning of a portion of the second text;
the semantic analyzer is further configured generate based on the second feature a second indication that a second value related to a predicted emotional response to the second segment does reach a second predetermined threshold;
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 while operating at the first measuring rate, the device takes at least 50% fewer measurements of affective response, per unit of measurement time, compared to 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 a first evaluation comprising semantic analysis of a first segment of content comprising data representing text;
wherein the first evaluation comprises analysis of an aspect of a meaning of a portion of the first 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 a second evaluation comprising semantic analysis of a second segment of content comprising data representing text;
wherein the second evaluation comprises analysis of an aspect of a meaning of a portion of the second 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 while operating at the first measuring rate, the device takes at least 50% fewer measurements of affective response, per unit of measurement time, compared to 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 first and second evaluations comprising semantic analysis of first and second segments of content that comprise first and second data representing first and second texts, respectively; wherein the first and second evaluations comprise analysis of first and second aspects of meanings of first and second portions of the first and second texts, respectively; 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 while operating at the first measuring rate, the device takes at least 50% fewer measurements to measure affective response of the user to the first segment, per unit of measurement time, compared to measurements the device takes while operating at the second measuring rate to measure affective response of the user to the second segment.
