Abstract
Emotion data is added to tags. The emotion data is generated by a user upon accessing content. The emotion data is obtained from measurable physiological parameters that reflect the user's emotions while accessing the content. The emotion data can be used to provide services.
Claims18
A method of providing electronic data content with emotion data added to the electronic data content as tags, comprising:
- receiving, with a processor, a first user's emotion data generated by a first user upon accessing a first electronic data content, wherein said first user's emotion data is generated according to measurable physiological parameters reflecting said first user's emotions generated during said access by said first user;
- adding said first user's emotion data to said first electronic data content as at least a first tag;
- searching at least a second electronic data content, unrelated to said first electronic data content, to find at least a second tag reflecting a second user's emotion data generated by a second user upon accessing said at least a second electronic data content, wherein said second user's emotion data is generated according to measurable physiological parameters reflecting said second user's emotions generated during access by said second user to said at least a second electronic data content and added to said at least a second electronic data content as said at least a second tag;
- in response to finding said at least a second tag, determining whether said first user's emotion data, generated by said first user is similar, based upon a predetermined strategy, to said second user's emotion data;
- and
- in response to a determination that said first user's emotion data is similar to said second user's emotion data, providing said at least a second electronic data content to said first user.
A system for providing electronic data content with emotion data added to the electronic data content as tags, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory connected to the processor, wherein the memory is encoded with instructions and wherein the instructions when executed comprise:
- instructions for receiving, with a processor, a first user's emotion data generated by a first user upon accessing a first electronic data content, wherein said first user's emotion data is generated according to measurable physiological parameters reflecting said first user's emotions generated during said access by said first user;
- instructions for adding said first user's emotion data to said first electronic data content as at least a first tag;
- instructions for searching at least a second electronic data content, unrelated to said first electronic data content, to find at least a second tag reflecting a second user's emotion data generated by a second user upon accessing said at least a second electronic data content, wherein said second user's emotion data is generated according to measurable physiological parameters reflecting said second user's emotions generated during access by said second user to said at least a second electronic data content and added to said at least a second electronic data content as said at least a second tag;
- in response to finding said at least a second tag, instructions for determining whether said first user's emotion data, generated by said first user is similar, based upon a predetermined strategy, to said second user's emotion data;
- and
- in response to a determination that said first user's emotion data is similar to said second user's emotion data, instructions for providing said at least a second electronic data content to said first user.
A computer program product for providing electronic data content with emotion data added to the electronic data content as tags, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to receive a first user's emotion data generated by a first user upon accessing a first electronic data content, wherein said first user's emotion data is generated according to measurable physiological parameters reflecting said first user's emotions generated during said access by said first user;
- computer readable program code configured to add said first user's emotion data to said first electronic data content as at least a first tag;
- computer readable program code configured to search at least a second electronic data content, unrelated to said first electronic data content, to find at least a second tag reflecting a second user's emotion data generated by a second user upon accessing said at least a second electronic data content, wherein said second user's emotion data is generated according to measurable physiological parameters reflecting said second user's emotions generated during access by said second user to said at least a second electronic data content and added to said at least a second electronic data content as said at least a second tag;
- in response to finding said at least a second tag, computer readable program code configured to determine whether said first user's emotion data, generated by said first user is similar, based upon a predetermined strategy, to said second user's emotion data;
- and
- in response to a determination that said first user's emotion data is similar to said second user's emotion data, computer readable program code configured to provide said at least a second electronic data content to said first user.
