Patent number: 10332028Abstract: A method for improving performance of a trained machine learning model includes adding a second classifier with a second objective function to a first classifier with a first objective function. Rather than minimizing a function of errors for the first classifier, the second objective function is used to directly reduce the number errors of the first classifier.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sachin Subhash Talathi, Aniket Vartak

Patent number: 10055538Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for identifying noisy regions in a skin conductance signal. The signal is divided into a plurality of windows. Two or more features of the signal within a first window are computed. At least one of the two or more features being in a frequency domain. At least two of the features are combined to obtain at least a first metric. The first metric is compared to a corresponding threshold. The first window is identified as a noisy region of the skin conductance signal based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2013Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Somdeb Majumdar, Aniket A. Vartak, Robert S. Tartz

Patent number: 9378655Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and apparatuses for associating a user emotion with electronic media are described. Contact between a user of a device and a biopotential electrode array that is integrated with the device is detected. Electrodermal data of the user is acquired via the biopotential electrode array. The user emotion is derived based at least in part on the acquired electrodermal data. The user emotion is then associated with the electronic media.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Richard O. Farley, Robert S. Tartz, Aniket A. Vartak

Patent number: 8781565Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for collecting physiological data using a configurable biopotential array. The array is embedded on a surface area of a handheld device. The array includes a number of electrode tiles. The electrodes include biosensors to collect the physiological data of a user. The electrodes are polled to detect contact with the user's skin. Electrodes in contact with the skin are electrically coupled to form an active electrode area. The coupled electrodes collect the physiological data relating to the user via the biosensors. The electrodes are decoupled after contact with the user's skin is terminated. The physiological data is analyzed and an emotional state or health state of the user is determined from the analyzed data.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Aniket A.
