Publication number: 20230292081Abstract: Methods and a device for grouping events in a network is disclosed. The method includes receiving notification of a first event that includes attributes of the first event; determining a score between the first event and a second event; and grouping the first event and the second event into a first group based on the score.

Publication number: 20220117510Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for determining intensity of a biological response to a presentation are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory and processor circuitry to execute instructions to identify trough-to-peak instances in first galvanic skin response (GSR) data for a first subject, the first GSR data collected from the first subject during exposure of the first subject to media content during a period of time; assign trough-to-peak scores to corresponding ones of the trough-to-peak instances; associate the respective ones of the trough-to-peak scores with a time corresponding to the trough of each trough-to-peak instances; assign window scores to corresponding ones of windows in the period of time based on the highest trough-to-peak score occurring within the corresponding windows to generate a first GSR intensity profile; and identify an element of the media content for modification based on the first GSR intensity profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Carl Marci, Dereck Padden, Randall Rule, Joonho Moon, Brendan Murray

Patent number: 11290779Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to adjust content presented to an individual are disclosed. An example system includes a first modality sensor to measure a first response of an individual to first content during a first time frame and a second modality sensor to measure a second response of the individual to the first content during the first time frame. The first modality sensor is to measure a third response of the individual to first content during a second time frame, and the second modality sensor is to measure a fourth response of the individual to the first content during the second time frame. The example system also includes a mental classifier executing instructions to determine a first mental classification of the individual based on a first comparison of the first response to a first threshold and a second comparison of the second response to a second threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Nielsen Consumer LLCInventors: Carl D.

Patent number: 11213219Abstract: Example methods, apparatus/systems and articles of manufacture for determining intensity of a biological response to a presentation are disclosed. An example method includes accessing galvanic skin response (GSR) data obtained from a subject while exposed to a presentation. The GSR data includes a plurality of trough-to-peak instances. The example method includes generating a GSR intensity profile by assigning trough-to-peak scores to corresponding ones of the trough-to-peak instances, defining a plurality of time windows, and assigning window scores to corresponding ones of the time windows based on the trough-to-peaks scores of the trough-to-peak instances occurring within the corresponding time windows. The example method also includes determining an effectiveness of the presentation based on the window scores of the GSR intensity profile.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Carl Marci, Dereck Padden, Randall Rule, Joonho Moon, Brendan Murray

Patent number: 11010491Abstract: A security code input may be obfuscated from a thermal imaging device by randomly heating a random set of inputs of an input device. The security code is inputted on an input device, which communicates with a security system to grant or deny access to a user based on an entry of the security code. The input device includes a plurality of hearing elements. The input device may receive an input from the user. A random set of heating elements including one or more heating elements, are generated from the plurality of heating elements. A temperature is determined for the one or more heating elements of the random set of heating elements. The temperature is then applied to the one or more heating elements of the random set of heating elements of the input device.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Brendan Murray
