Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include an electronic processing system for determining states of existence for individuals or groups of individuals, or both. The system incorporates cognitive, psychological, and perceptual principles. The system includes a mechanism for obtaining input variables; one or more processors, a processing engine with one or more processing units for re-parameterizing input variables to graded category variables to accomplish functions such as human value characterization and grouping by similarities, a perceptual schema database, and an output generator that produces structured data.
Claims16
An electronic processing system for determining states of existence for individuals or groups of individuals, or both, the system incorporating cognitive, psychological, and perceptual principles, the system comprising a mechanism for obtaining input variables;
- one or more processors, a processing engine with one or more processing units for re-parameterizing input variables to graded category variables to accomplish functions such as human value characterization and grouping by similarities, a perceptual schema database, and an output generator that produces structured data.
Computer readable media for ordering a data structure for describing the data obtained from a questionnaire having queries related to human values, the data structure comprising:
- numeric data that rank the query answers;
- linguistic data that describe the human values measured;
- indices that identify the data with each level of processing such as ordinate level within schema structure, perceptual schema, and human categorization;
- and
- labels that associate the data with perceptual concepts.
A method of analyzing linguistic information comprising:
- an electronic spreadsheet that accepts digital images and their image descriptors as input to its cells;
- means for reading the data in the image descriptors;
- and formulas that operate on the data contained in the image descriptors.
