AUTOMATIC CONNOTATION FOR AUDIO AND VISUAL CONTENT USING IOT SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107130 titled 'AUTOMATIC CONNOTATION FOR AUDIO AND VISUAL CONTENT USING IOT SENSORS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for enhancing a user's experience of audio-visual content by analyzing sensor data from an IoT device worn by the user to determine their emotional state and then modifying future audio and/or video frames of the content to match the expected emotion.

  • The processor captures sensor data from an IoT device worn by the user.
  • The sensor data is analyzed to generate emotional connotations using emotional vector analytics and machine learning techniques.
  • The connotations are scored based on similarity to the expected emotion of a second user.
  • If the score exceeds a threshold, a suggestion is generated for the producer of the audio-visual content.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Personalized entertainment experiences
  • Mental health monitoring and support systems
  • Market research for content producers

Problems Solved

This technology addresses issues such as:

  • Lack of personalization in audio-visual content
  • Limited emotional engagement of users
  • Ineffective content creation strategies

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced user experience
  • Improved emotional connection with content
  • Tailored content recommendations

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications of this technology could include:

  • Streaming platforms
  • Content production companies
  • Wearable device manufacturers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be emotion recognition systems used in virtual reality applications.

Unanswered Questions

The article does not provide details on how user data is protected and secured within the system.

What is the accuracy rate of the emotion recognition system?

The article does not mention the accuracy rate of the emotional recognition system in determining user emotions.


Original Abstract Submitted

in an approach for enhancing an experience of a user listening to and/or watching an audio-visual content by modifying future audio and/or video frames of the audio-visual content, a processor captures a set of sensor data from an iot device worn by the first user. a processor analyzes the set of sensor data to generate one or more connotations by converting the emotion using an emotional vector analytics technique and a supervised machine learning technique. a processor scores the one or more connotations on a basis of similarity between the emotion exhibited by the first user and an emotion expected to be provoked by a second user. a processor determines whether a score of the one or more connotations exceeds a pre-configured threshold level. responsive to determining the score does not exceed the pre-configured threshold level, a processor generates a suggestion for the producer of the audio-visual content.
