Abstract
A rating interface system and method are provided that allow human users to continuously rate the impact they or other human users and/or their avatars are having on themselves or others during interpersonal interactions, such as conversations or group discussions. The system and method provide time stamping of users' ratings data and audio and video data of an interaction, and correlate the ratings data with the audio and video data at selected time intervals for subsequent analysis.
Claims22
A system for providing a rating interface during an interpersonal interaction between at least a first user or an avatar thereof and a second user or an avatar thereof, comprising:
- an input device for transmitting ratings data input from the first user of an assessment of the second user during the interpersonal interaction, the input device configured to differentiate user inputs as numerical values;
- and
- a processor, communicatively coupled to the input device to receive the ratings data, and memory, and machine-readable instructions stored in the memory that, upon execution by the processor cause the system to carry out an operation comprising time stamping the ratings data transmitted from the input device during the interpersonal interaction;
- wherein the processor is operative to process the ratings data from the input device into two or more rating bands, each rating band corresponding to a range of input numerical values received from the input device during the interpersonal interaction;
- wherein the rating bands comprise a positive rating band corresponding to an input positive assessment, a negative rating band corresponding to an input negative assessment, and a neutral rating band corresponding to an input neutral assessment;
- further comprising an output device in communication with the processor, and wherein the processor is operative to provide a graphical representation to the output device of ratings illustrating a time scale along a first axis and a rating scale along a second axis, wherein the rating scale encompasses numerical values received from the input device;
- and
- wherein the output device comprises a video display or a printer.
