Utilizing analysis of content to reduce power consumption of a sensor that measures affective response to the content
First Claim
1. A system configured to reduce power consumption of a sensor according to analysis of content, comprising:
- a content emotional response analyzer (content ERA) configured to;
receive a first segment of content, analyze the first segment, and output a first indication indicating that a first value related to an emotional response to the first segment does not reach a first predetermined threshold; and
a hardware-based controller configured to select, based on the first indication, a first mode of operation for a sensor for measuring affective response of a user to the first segment;
wherein the content ERA is further configured to;
receive a second segment of content, analyze the second segment, and output a second indication indicating that a second value related to an emotional response to the second segment reaches a second predetermined threshold; and
the hardware-based controller is further configured to select, based on the second indication, a second mode of operation for the sensor for measuring affective response of the user to the second segment;
wherein the sensor is configured to consume at least 50% less power while operating at the first mode of operation compared to the power it is configured to consume while operating at the second mode of operation.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products that utilize analysis of content in order to reduce power consumption of a sensor that measures affective response of a user. A content emotional response analyzer receives and analyzes a segment of content, and outputs an indication that is indicative of whether a predefined threshold related to an emotional response to the segment is reached. A controller selects a mode of operation for the sensor based on the indication. The mode of operation is selected from a set comprising first and second modes of operation. The sensor is configured to consume significantly less power while operating at the first mode of operation compared to the power it is configured to consume while operating at the second mode of operation.

10. A method for reducing power consumption of a sensor that measures affective response to content, comprising:
-
receiving a first indication derived from analysis of a first segment of content; 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; selecting, based on the first indication, a first mode of operation for a sensor to measure affective response to the first segment; receiving a second indication derived from analysis of a second segment of content; determining 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 selecting, based on the second indication, a second mode of operation for the sensor to measure affective response to the second segment; wherein, per unit of measurement time, power consumed by the sensor for measuring the affective response of a user to the first segment, is at least 50% lower than power consumed for measuring the affective response of the user to the second segment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for use in a computer to reduce power consumption of a sensor that measures affective response to content;
- the computer comprising a processor, and the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising;
program code for receiving a first indication derived from analysis of a first segment of content; program code for 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; program code for selecting, based on the first indication, a first mode of operation for a sensor to measure affective response to the first segment; program code for receiving a second indication derived from analysis of a second segment of content; program code for determining 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 program code for selecting, based on the second indication, a second mode of operation for the sensor to measure affective response to the second segment; wherein, per unit of measurement time, power consumed by the sensor for measuring the affective response of a user to the first segment, is at least 50% lower than power consumed for measuring the affective response of the user to the second segment. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
