Online Show Emotion Feedback Using Laughter Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In online show delivery, performers lack real-time feedback on audience reactions, leading to difficulty in adjusting performances, and viewers miss the shared laughter experience of live shows, while existing laughter measurement devices are inaccurate for certain types of laughter and cumbersome to use.
Innovation Solution
An online show rendition system and laughter analysis device that analyze facial expressions and utterances to calculate emotion analysis values, integrating these into the online delivery to enhance realism, using a management terminal and user terminals with imaging and sound recording units to superimpose relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If online show delivery is used, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but real-time feedback on audience reactions is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by capturing audience laughter and reactions through imaging and sound recording units, analyzing these reactions to generate emotion analysis values, and feeding this information back to performers in real-time during online shows, thus resolving the information loss problem while maintaining online delivery accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of terminal devices, imaging units, sound recording units, and analysis devices that mediate between the audience and performers, capturing and transmitting reaction information without requiring direct physical presence, thus preserving accessibility while enabling feedback
2Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If laughter measurement devices are used, then laughter detection capability is improved, but measurement accuracy for certain types of laughter deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple detection approaches by combining imaging unit data (facial expression analysis) with sound recording unit data (audio analysis of laughter), creating a comprehensive measurement system that overcomes the limitations of single-method devices and improves accuracy across different laughter types
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device integrates multiple functions including imaging, sound recording, emotion analysis, and feedback generation into a single universal system that can handle various types of laughter and reactions, rather than relying on specialized single-purpose devices with limited accuracy
3Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If complex laughter measurement systems are deployed, then measurement capability is improved, but ease of use deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs automated emotion analysis algorithms that self-process the captured imaging and sound data without requiring manual intervention or complex configuration by users, making the sophisticated measurement capability accessible through simple deployment while maintaining high measurement capability through automated processing
Data Source
AI summary
A management terminal device, on the basis of a first emotion analysis value, a second emotion analysis value, a third emotion analysis value, and a user attribute analysis value which are numerical values representing users' emotions, calculates a comprehensive user's emotion analysis value for each user, and, on the basis of a plurality of comprehensive user's emotion analysis values of at least some of the users, generates image information and audio information. When a user terminal device outputs online-delivered information, the management terminal device causes an image output unit and an audio output unit of the user terminal device to output the information with the image information and the audio information superimposed thereon.
