Abstract
Computing a situation-dependent affective response baseline levels for a user involves: receiving an identifier of a situation, receiving affective response indicator values from a database corresponding to time periods in which the user was in the situation, and computing the situation-dependent baseline level corresponding to the situation based on data comprising the affective response indicator values.
Claims20
A method for computing situation-dependent affective response baseline levels for a user, comprising:
- receiving an identifier of a first situation;
- receiving, from a database, first and third affective response indicator values corresponding to first and third time periods, respectively;
- wherein the database further stores a second affective response indicator value corresponding to a second time period, the user was in the first situation during the first and third time periods, and the user was in a second situation during the second time period;
- and wherein the first time period precedes the second time period and the second time period precedes the third time period;
- computing a first situation-dependent baseline level corresponding to the first situation based on data comprising the first and third affective response indicator values;
- receiving an identifier of the second situation;
- receiving, from the database, the second affective response indicator value;
- and
- computing a second situation-dependent baseline level corresponding to the second situation based on data comprising the second affective response indicator value;
- wherein the first and second situatio-dependant baseline levels each represent a value comprising at least one of:
- a calculated level of an affective response of the user, and a calculated value of a user measurement channel indicative of a level of an affective response of the user;
- and
- wherein the first situation-dependent baseline level is different from the second situation-dependant baseline level.

A system configured to compute a situation-dependent affective response baseline levels for a user, comprising:
- a computer coupled to a database, the database comprising first, second, and third affective response indicator values corresponding to first, second, and third time periods, respectively;
- wherein the user was is a first situation during the first and third time periods, and the user was in a second situation during the second time period;
- and
- wherein the first time period precedes the second time period and the second time period precedes the third time period;
- a baseline calculator configured to receive an identifier of the first situation;
- the baseline calculator is further configured to receive, from the database, the first and third affective response indicator values and to compute a first situation-dependent baseline level corresponding to the first situation based on data comprising the first and third affective response indicator values;
- the baseline calculator is further configured to receive an identifier of the second situation;
- and
- the baseline calculator is further configured to receive, from the database, the second affective response indicator value and to compute a second situation-dependent baseline level corresponding to the second situation based on data comprising the second affective response indicator value;
- wherein the first and the second situation-dependent baseline levels each represent a value comprising at least one of:
- a calculated level of an affective response of the user, and a calculated value of a user measurement channel indicative of a level of an affective response of the user;
- and
- wherein the first situation-dependent baseline level is different from the second situation-dependent baseline level.

- and program code for computing a second situation-dependent baseline level corresponding to the second situation based on data comprising the second affective response indicator value;
- wherein the first and the second situation-dependent baseline levels each represent a value comprising at least one of:
- a calculated level of an affective response of the user, and a calculated value of a user measurement channel indicative of a level of an affective response of the user;
- and
- wherein the first situation-dependent baseline level is different from the second situation-dependent baseline level.
