Solution Overview

Problem

Current content delivery systems fail to utilize passive imaging data effectively, resulting in irrelevant content being presented to users based on their emotional state, despite increasing amounts of digital content and user interest in relevant information.

Innovation Solution

An emotion detection component identifies user emotions through imaging data, storing and associating these emotions with content types, allowing applications to deliver content that is more relevant to the user's current emotional state, using an API to access and utilize this information for personalized content delivery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current content delivery systems are used, then content can be delivered to users, but the content relevance is poor because passive imaging data is not utilized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidutilization of passive imaging data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

An emotion detection component is introduced as an intermediary between the imaging component and content delivery system. This component processes passive imaging data to detect emotion characteristics and translates them into emotion types that can be used for content personalization, thereby resolving the contradiction between content relevance and adaptability to imaging data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces traditional mechanical content delivery mechanisms with an emotion-based information processing system. Instead of delivering content based on generic user profiles, the system uses image processing and emotion detection algorithms to dynamically determine content relevance, achieving both high relevance and data utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If passive imaging data is utilized for emotion detection, then content relevance improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemotion detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the emotion detection functionality into a separate, dedicated component that operates independently from the content delivery system. This segmentation allows the imaging component to capture data, the emotion detection component to process it, and the content delivery system to utilize it, thereby managing complexity through modular architecture while maintaining high detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The emotion detection component serves multiple functions: it processes various types of imaging data, detects different emotion characteristics, and provides emotion types for multiple content delivery scenarios. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by consolidating operations into a single versatile component rather than requiring separate systems for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Techniques for emotion detection and content delivery are described. In one embodiment, for example, an emotion detection component may identify at least one type of emotion associated with at least one detected emotion characteristic. A storage component may store the identified emotion type. An application programming interface (API) component may receive a request from one or more applications for emotion type and, in response to the request, return the identified emotion type. The one or more applications may identify content for display based upon the identified emotion type. The identification of content for display by the one or more applications based upon the identified emotion type may include searching among a plurality of content items, each content item being associated with one or more emotion type. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
