Acquisition and presentation of data indicative of an extent of congruence between inferred mental states of authoring users

A system, comprising:

• circuitry for acquiring inference data including at least a first inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a first authoring user in connection with a particular item of an electronic document and a second inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a second authoring user in connection with the particular item of the electronic document;
• circuitry for comparing the first inference data with the second inference data;
• and
• circuitry for presenting congruence data indicative of an extent of congruity between the inferred mental state of the first authoring user in connection with one or more first actions that were performed at least in part by the first authoring user in connection with the particular item and the inferred mental state of the second authoring user in connection with one or more second actions that were performed at least in part by the second authoring user in connection with the particular item based, at least in part, on the comparison of the first inference data with the second inference data.

An article of manufacture, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer storage medium bearing:
• one or more instructions for acquiring inference data including at least a first inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a first authoring user in connection with a particular item of an electronic document and a second inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a second authoring user in connection with the particular item of the electronic document;
• one or more instructions for comparing the first inference data with the second inference data;
• and
• one or more instructions for presenting congruence data indicative of an extent of congruity between the inferred mental state of the first authoring user in connection with one or more first actions that were performed at least in part by the first authoring user in connection with the particular item and the inferred mental state of the second authoring user in connection with one or more second actions that were performed at least in part by the second authoring user in connection with the particular item based, at least in part, on the comparison of the first inference data with the second inference data.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory coupled to the one or more processors;
• an inference data acquisition module configured to acquire inference data including at least a first inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a first authoring user in connection with a particular item of an electronic document, the acquired first inference data having been derived at least in part with one or more first sensing devices that sensed one or more characteristics of the first authoring user during and/or proximate to one or more first actions that were performed at least in part by the first authoring user in connection with the particular item, and a second inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a second authoring user in connection with the particular item of the electronic document, the acquired second inference data having been derived at least in part with one or more second sensing devices that sensed one or more characteristics of the second authoring user during and/or proximate to one or more second actions that were performed at least in part by the second authoring user in connection with the particular item;
• a comparison module configured to compare the first inference data with the second inference data;
• and
• a presentation module configured to present data indicative of an extent of congruity between the inferred mental state of the first authoring user and the inferred mental state of the second authoring user based, at least in part, on the comparison of the first inference data with the second inference data.
