Abstract
Methods and systems for capturing, transmitting and processing data for generating ratings relating to multimedia programming based on passively obtained user cues are disclosed herein.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- accessing, by a processing system including a processor, data comprising feedback captured during presentation of a media content item at equipment of an end user to provide cues regarding a reaction of the end user to the media content item, the data being obtained without providing an alert to the end user that the feedback regarding the reaction is being monitored;
- based on the feedback obtained from the equipment, distributing, by the processing system, a temporal mapping of the cues against the media content item to a virtual audience, advertisers, service providers, or a combination thereof, wherein the service providers include a television network;
- providing, by the processing system, a plurality of programming recommendations based on the temporal mapping;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, producers an indication of a plurality of media content that is most likely to generate revenue based on the temporal mapping, wherein the media content item is included in the plurality of media content.

A system, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- acquiring data comprising feedback regarding a reaction of an end user to a media content item distributed to equipment of the end user over a communication network;
- based on the feedback obtained from the equipment, distributing a temporal mapping of cues against the media content item to a virtual audience, advertisers, service providers, or a combination thereof, wherein the service providers include a television network;
- providing a plurality of programming recommendations based on the temporal mapping;
- and
- providing producers an indication of a plurality of media content that is most likely to generate revenue based on the temporal mapping, wherein the media content item is included in the plurality of media content.
5 more elements
A machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- accessing data comprising cues based on feedback obtained from equipment of an end user regarding captured end user reactions to media content;
- based on the feedback obtained from the equipment, distributing a temporal mapping of the cues against the media content to a virtual audience, advertisers, service providers, or a combination thereof, wherein the service providers include a television network;
- providing a plurality of programming recommendations based on the temporal mapping;
- and
- providing producers an indication of a plurality of media content that is most likely to generate revenue based on the temporal mapping, wherein the media content is included in the plurality of media content.
