Abstract
Systems and methods of providing mediated social interactions are provided. For instance, a user input from a first user indicative of a request to facilitate a provision of emotive contextual signals to a second user can be received. One or more emotive contextual signals to be provided to the second user can be determined based at least in part on the user input. The one or more emotive contextual signals can include one or more haptic feedback signals intended to facilitate a mediated social interaction associated with the second user.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method of providing emotive contextual signals to a user, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device, a user input from a first user indicative of a request to facilitate a provision of emotive contextual signals to a second user;
- determining, by a second computing device, one or more first emotive contextual signals to be provided to the second user based at least in part on the user input, the one or more first emotive contextual signals comprising one or more first haptic signals intended to facilitate a mediated social interaction associated with the second
- determining, by the second computing device, an emotional response of the second user to the one or more first emotive contextual signals;
- and
- comparing, by the second computing device, the determined emotional response of the second user to a target emotional response.
A computing system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memory devices, the one or more memory devices storing compute readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a user input from a first user indicative of a request to facilitate a provision of emotive contextual signals to a second user;
- determining one or more first emotive contextual signals to be provided to the second user based at least in part on the user input, the one or more first emotive contextual signals comprising one or more first haptic signals intended to facilitate a mediated social interaction associated with the second user;
- determining an emotional response of the second user to the one or more first emotive contextual signals;
- and
- comparing the determined emotional response of the second user to a target emotional response.
One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a user input from a first user indicative of a request to facilitate a provision of emotive contextual signals to a second user;
- and
- determining one or more first emotive contextual signals to be provided to the second user based at least in part on the user input and one or more characteristics of the second user, the one or more first emotive contextual signals comprising one or more first haptic signals intended to facilitate a mediated social interaction associated with the second user.
