Determining a player emotional state based on a model that uses pressure sensitive inputs

A system comprising:

• a processor circuit;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor circuit, the memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to:
• receive, from a pressure sensor of an input device, a first plurality of pressure parameter values, wherein each pressure parameter value of the first plurality of pressure parameter values corresponds to an amount of pressure being applied to a first input device by a user at a particular time;
• receive first emotional state data indicative of an emotional state associated with the pressure parameter values;
• access an emotional state model comprising a plurality of emotional state correlations between a second plurality of pressure parameter values and emotional state data associated with a plurality of emotional states;
• and
• update the emotional state model based on the first plurality of pressure parameter values, the first emotional state data, and the plurality of emotional state correlations.

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a pressure sensor of an input device of a gaming device, a plurality of first pressure parameter values, wherein each pressure parameter value corresponds to an amount of pressure being applied to the input device by a player of the gaming device at a particular time;
• accessing an emotional state model comprising a plurality of emotional state correlations between a second plurality of pressure parameter values and emotional state data associated with a plurality of emotional states;
• determining, based on the first plurality of pressure parameter values and the plurality of emotional state correlations, an emotional state of the player;
• and
• based on the emotional state of the player, modifying a user interface element of the gaming device.
