Abstract
Techniques for determining a cognitive reaction to a software application update include determining that a software application executing on a computing device has been modified into an updated software application; acquiring, via at least one sensor, sensor data associated with a user of the updated software and determining, based on the sensor data, at least one of a cognitive workload and an emotional state associated with a user interaction with a feature of the updated software application.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for determining a cognitive reaction to a software application update, the method comprising:
- determining that a software application update is received for a software application executing on a computing device and results in an updated software application;
- in response to determining that the software application update has been received, acquiring, via at least one sensor, sensor data associated with a user of the updated software application;
- determining, based on the sensor data, at least one of a cognitive workload or an emotional state associated with a user interaction with a feature of the updated software application over a rolling window of time;
- and
- analyzing data over the rolling window of time to determine a change in the at least one of the cognitive workload or the emotional state that occurred after the feature is presented and prior to the user interaction.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine a cognitive reaction to a software application update, by performing the steps of:
- determining that a software application update is received for a software application executing on a computing device and results in an updated software application;
- in response to determining that the software application update has been received, acquiring, via at least one sensor, sensor data associated with a user of the updated software application;
- determining, based on the sensor data, at least one of a cognitive workload, an emotional arousal level, or an emotional valence level associated with a user interaction with a feature of the updated software application over a rolling window of time;
- and
- analyzing data over the rolling window of time to determine a change in the at least one of the cognitive workload, the emotional arousal level, or the emotional valence level that occurred after the feature is presented and prior to the user interaction.
A system, comprising:
- a driver monitoring system;
- and
- a cognition analysis system coupled to the driver monitoring system and configured to perform the steps of:
- determining that a software application update is received for a software application executing on a computing device and results in an updated software application;
- in response to determining that the software application update has been received, acquiring, via at least one sensor, sensor data associated with a user of the updated software application;
- determining, based on the sensor data, at least one of a cognitive workload or an emotional state associated with a user interaction with a feature of the updated software application over a rolling window of time;
- and
- analyzing data over the rolling window of time to determine a change in the at least one of the cognitive workload or the emotional state that occurred after the feature is presented and prior to the user interaction.
