Patent number: 10843078Abstract: Mental state data is collected as a person interacts with a game played on a machine. The mental state data includes facial data, where the facial data includes facial regions or facial landmarks. The mental state data can include physiological data and actigraphy data. The mental state data is analyzed to produce mental state information. Mental state data and/or mental state information can be shared across a social network or a gaming community. The affect of the person interacting with the game can be represented to the social network or gaming community in the form of an avatar. Recommendations based on the affect resulting from the analysis can be made to the person interacting with the game. Mental states are analyzed locally or via a web services. Based on the results of the analysis, the game with which the person is interacting is modified.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Affectiva, Inc.Inventors: Rana el Kaliouby, Panu James Turcot, Forest Jay Handford, Daniel Bender, Rosalind Wright Picard, Richard Scott Sadowsky, Oliver Orion Wilder-Smith

Publication number: 20200342979Abstract: Distributed analysis for cognitive state metrics is performed. Data for an individual is captured into a computing device. The data provides information for evaluating a cognitive state of the individual. The data for the individual is uploaded to a web server. A cognitive state metric for the individual is calculated. The cognitive state metric is based on the data that was uploaded. Analysis from the web server is received by the computing device. The analysis is based on the data for the individual and the cognitive state metric for the individual. An output that describes a cognitive state of the individual is rendered at the computing device. The output is based on the analysis that was received. The cognitive states of other individuals are correlated to the cognitive state of the individual. Other sources of information are aggregated. The information is used to analyze the cognitive state of the individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Applicant: Affectiva, Inc.Inventors: Richard Scott Sadowsky, Rana el Kaliouby, Rosalind Wright Picard, Oliver Orion Wilder-Smith, Panu James Turcot, Zhihong Zheng

Patent number: 10799168Abstract: Facial image data of an individual is collected of the individual to provide mental state data using a first web-enabled computing device. The mental state data is analyzed to produce mental state information using a second web-enabled computing device. The mental state information is shared across a social network using a third web-enabled computing device. The mental state data is also collected from the individual through capture of sensor information. The mental state data is also collected from the individual through capture of audio data. The individual elects to share the mental state information across the social network. The mental state data may be collected over a period of time and analyzed to determine a mood of the individual. The mental state information is translated into a representative icon for sharing, which may include an emoji. An image of the individual is shared along with the mental state information.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Affectiva, Inc.Inventors: Rana el Kaliouby, Richard Scott Sadowsky, Oliver Orion Wilder-Smith

Patent number: 8396530Abstract: A biosensor is described which can obtain physiological data from an individual. The biosensor may collect electrodermal activity, skin temperature, and other information. The biosensor may be attached to the body through the use of a garment which may be fastened in multiple locations on the human body. The biosensor includes compensation for electrodermal activity measurements based on the amount of pressure applied to the electrodes that are in contact with the skin. As pressure is increased the electrodermal activity values typically increase. By compensating for the influence that pressure changes have on electrodermal activity, more accurate analysis of physiology and therefore mental state analysis may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Affectiva, Inc.Inventors: Oliver Orion Wilder-Smith, Rosalind Wright Picard, Tao Zhang

Patent number: 8140143Abstract: A washable, wearable biosensor that can gather sensor data, communicate the sensed data by wireless protocols, and permits the analysis of sensed data in real-time as a person goes about their normal lifestyle activities. The biosensor can be worn in multiple positions, can be put on or removed quickly without having to apply or remove gels and adhesives, and provides a snug, comfortable fit to gather data with minimal motion artifacts. The textile, wearable device can support integrated photoplethysmography, skin conductance, motion, and temperature sensors in a small wearable package. The supported sensors may be coupled to utilization devices by channel-sharing wireless protocols to enable the transmission of data from multiple users and multiple sensors (e.g. both sides of body, wrists or hands and feet, or multiple people).Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Rosalind W.

Publication number: 20110092780Abstract: A biosensor is described which can obtain physiological and accelerometer data from an individual. The biosensor may collect electrodermal activity, accelerometer readings, skin temperature, and other information. Most of the biosensor may be powered off when it is not attached to a person. Based on electrodermal activity the biosensor may automatically turn on when the biosensor comes in contact with an individual. The biosensor may rapidly power up once placed on a person even being fully functional within one second of being attached.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2010Publication date: April 21, 2011Inventors: Tao Zhang, Oliver Orion Wilder-Smith
