  • Indirect feedback systems and methods
    Patent number: 10019489
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for identifying indirect user feedback and providing content such as item descriptions based on the indirect user feedback. An indirect feedback system may receive sensed data such as images or audio and identify indicators of indirect feedback for the subject shown, heard, or otherwise detected in the sensed data. For example, a user's facial expression and/or body language can provide indirect feedback as to how the user is feeling (e.g., mood). Based on the detected mood, features for suggesting additional items that should appeal to the user are described.
