Publication number: 20230268055Abstract: A method and system for biometric and psychometric based content display. The method includes storing a psychometric assessment instrument as a data structure on a mobile device. The psychometric assessment instrument includes user data for ascertaining a user’s psychometric identity. A server collects and tags content by attribute for each specific classification of the plurality of psychometric classifications. The content is further organized across three state classes and cross-referenced with a plurality of interests. A pulse rate is measured using a camera on the mobile device. The pulse rate is measured using temporal color contrast between two frames. The pulse rate is converted to a heart rate variability (HRV) measure, which is used to designate a current state class using an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The state class is used to automatically retrieve appropriate coaching media content for consumption on the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Sorce Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jessica Corbin, Kai Mildenberger, Galen Buckwalter, Eric Burgess, Eugene Russiyanov

Patent number: 10977448Abstract: A method for determining a personality profile of an online user is disclosed. Social speech content data associated with an online user is stored. A machine learning model is used to determine a first personality profile of the online user based at least in part on the social speech content data associated with the online user. A second personality profile of the online user is determined based on the social speech content data using a scientific personality model encoded in an ontology, wherein the ontology encodes statistical relationships between a plurality of words and a plurality of personality traits based on one or more scientific research studies. An ensemble model is applied to determine a third personality profile of the online user based at least in part on the first personality profile and the second personality profile.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Ayzenberg Group, Inc.Inventors: John Galen Buckwalter, David Hans Herman, David Ryan Loker, Kai Mildenberger

Publication number: 20140180942Abstract: The functions and operations of a matching service are disclosed. This includes approximating the satisfaction that a user of the matching service has in the relationships that the user forms with others and identifying candidates for a relationship with the user based on the approximated satisfaction. This also includes approximating the satisfaction that the user will have in a relationship with a particular candidate. The matching service also identifies two parties for a relationship. The matching service makes available a plurality of communication levels at which the parties can communicate. Each communication level allows the parties to exchange information in a different format. The parties are permitted to exchange information at one of the communication levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: eHarmony, Inc.Inventors: J.
