Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for evaluating an individual's affect or emotional state by extracting emotional meaning from audio, visual and/or textual input into a handset, mobile communication device or other peripheral device. The audio, visual and/or textual input may be collected, gathered or obtained using one or more data modules which may include, but are not limited to, a microphone, a camera, an accelerometer and a peripheral device. The data modules collect one or more sets of potential imprecise characteristics which may then be analyzed and/or evaluated. When analyzing and/or evaluating the imprecise characteristics, the imprecise characteristics may be assigned one or more weighted descriptive values and a weighted time value. The weighted descriptive values and the weighted time value are then compiled or fused to create one or more precise characteristics which may define the emotional state of an individual.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, devices and methods for assessing, verifying and adjusting the affective state of a user. An electronic communication is received in a computer terminal from a user. The communication may be a verbal, visual and/or biometric communication. The electronic communication may be assigned at least weighted descriptive value and a weighted time value which are used to calculate a current affective state of the user. Optionally, the computer terminal may be triggered to interact with the user to verify the current affective state if the current affective state is ambiguous. The optional interaction may continue until the current affective state is achieved. Next, the computer terminal may be triggered to interact with the user to adjust the current affective state upon a determination that the current affective state is outside an acceptable range from a pre-defined affective state.
