Abstract
A method for analyzing audience reaction while viewing audio-visual content commences by first collecting biometeric data from audience members while viewing the audio-visual content. The collected biometric data undergoes cross-correlation to establish a correlation graph having nodes indicative of individual audience member's reaction to the viewed audio-visual content. Thereafter, edges in the graph corresponding to nodes, which are similar, are identified to indicate audience members reacting similarly to the viewed content.
Claims9
A method for analyzing audience reaction while viewing audio-visual content, comprising the steps of:
- collecting biometric data from audience members while viewing the audio-visual content;
- cross-correlating the collected biometric data to establish a correlation graph having nodes indicative of individual audience member's reaction to the viewed audio-visual content;
- and
- identifying edges in the graph corresponding to nodes, which are similar to indicate audience members reacting similarly to the viewed content.
A apparatus for analyzing audience reaction while viewing audio-visual content, comprising:
- an analysis engine for (a) cross-correlating biometric data collected from audience members to establish a correlation graph having nodes indicative of individual audience member's reaction to the viewed audio-visual content;
- and (b) identifying edges in the graph corresponding to nodes, which are similar to indicate audience members reacting similarly to the viewed content.
