  • Collection of affect data from multiple mobile devices
    Patent number: 9934425
    Abstract: A user interacts with various pieces of technology to perform numerous tasks and activities. Reactions can be observed and mental states inferred from these performances. Multiple devices, including mobile devices, can observe and record or transmit a user's mental state data. The mental state data collected from the multiple devices can be used to analyze the mental states of the user. The mental state data can be in the form of facial expressions, electrodermal activity, movements, or other detectable manifestations. Multiple cameras on the multiple devices can be usefully employed to collect facial data. An output can be rendered based on an analysis of the mental state data.
