Online social interaction, education, and health care by analysing affect and cognitive features

Abstract

A method of establishing a collaborative platform comprising performing a collaborative interactive session for a plurality of members, and analysing affect and/or cognitive features of some or all of the plurality of members, wherein some or all of the plurality of members from different human interaction platforms interact via the collaborative platform, wherein the affect comprises an experience of feeling or emotion, and wherein the cognitive features comprise features in a cognitive state, the cognitive state comprising a state of an internal mental process.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of establishing a collaborative platform comprising:
 performing a collaborative interactive session among a plurality of members,   analyzing affect and cognitive features of the plurality of members by obtaining video images from each of the plurality of members, wherein video images comprise pupil dilation, eye tracking and/or facial features of each of the plurality of the members,   analyzing in real-time the video images using a video analysis system,   presenting questions to each of the plurality of the members during a sub-segment of the collaborative interactive session, and   starting a next sub-segment of the collaborative interactive session only after a minimum number of the questions are completed by the plurality of the members.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of members from different human interaction platforms interact via the collaborative platform, 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising displaying of targeted advertisements or notifications based on the context of the interactive collaborative session. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising measuring effectiveness of the displaying of targeted advertisements or notifications. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising integrating an application or a device within the collaborative interactive session. 
     
     
         6 . A computer implemented system comprising: a storage medium configured to store data from the collaborative platform of  claim 1 ; and a processor configured to perform a collaborative interactive session for a plurality of members, wherein the system analyses affect and cognitive features of the plurality of members. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of members from different human interaction platforms interact via the collaborative interactive session, wherein the different human interactions platforms comprise social media platforms. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the system is further configured to display targeted advertisements or notifications based on the context of the interactive collaborative sessions. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the system is further configured to measure effectiveness of the displaying of targeted advertisements or notifications. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the system is further configured to integrate an application or a device within the collaborative interactive session. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the system comprises a sound and/or video hub, wherein the sound and/or video hub allows any member of the plurality of the members to play a song and/or a video and simultaneously allows the plurality of members to listen and/or watch the song and/or the video played. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the system comprises audio and/or video synopsis of the collaborative interactive session for the plurality of members using a sound and image-processing technology that creates a summary of an original full-length audio and/or video. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein system is configured to determine a mental health of a patient by analyzing one or more of audio, video, textual and location data of the patient, and evaluating the data in a standardized model. 
     
     
         14 . A tangible non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions executable by one or more processors for establishing the collaborative platform of  claim 1 , comprising performing a collaborative interactive session for a plurality of members, and analyzing affect and cognitive features of the plurality of members. 
     
     
         15 . The medium of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of members interacts from different human interaction platforms. 
     
     
         16 . The medium of  claim 14 , further comprising computer executable instructions executable by one or more processors for displaying of targeted advertisements or notifications based on the context of the interactive collaborative sessions. 
     
     
         17 . The medium  claim 14 , wherein the executable instructions comprise instruction for determining a mental health of a patient by analyzing one or more of audio, video, textual and location data of the patient, and evaluating the data in a standardized model.
