Computer input device with biosensors for sensing user emotions

A computer program device comprising:

• a computer program storage device readable by a digital processing apparatus;
• and
• a program means on the program storage device and including instructions executable by the digital processing apparatus for performing method steps for correlating physiological signals to emotions, the method steps comprising:
• receiving one or more physiological signals from a computer input device, the physiological signals being respectively representative of physiological attributes of a user, the physiological signals being generated as a result of a user touching the computer input devices;
• and
• correlating the physiological signals to one or more emotions.

A method for correlating physiological attributes of a computer user to emotions when the user touches a computer input device, comprising:

• establishing one or more baseline physiological signals, the physiological signals being representative of respective physiological attributes;
• using the baseline physiological signals to statistically derive at least one correlation model, the correlation model correlating one or more physiological signals to one or more emotions;
• receiving subsequent physiological signals generated when a subject user touches the computer input device;
• and
• based on the correlation model, correlating the subsequent physiological signals to one or more emotions of the subject user.
