Facial gesture recognition and video analysis tool

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein may be directed to a video communication server. In some embodiments, the video communication server includes: at least one memory including instructions; and at least one processing device configured for executing the instructions, wherein the instructions cause the at least one processing device to perform the operations of: determining a time duration of a video communication connection between a first user of a first user device and a second user of a second user device; analyzing video content transmitted between the first user device and the second user device; determining at least one gesture of at least one of the first user and the second user based on analyzing the video content; and generating a compatibility score of the first user and the second user based at least in part on the determined time duration and the at least one determined gesture.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 determining, using a communication unit comprised in at least one processing device, a video communication connection associated with a first user of a first user device, the video communication connection being associated with a time duration;   analyzing, using a graphical processing unit (GPU) comprised in the at least one processing device, video content of the first user of the first user device;   determining, based on analyzing the video content of the first user of the first user device, at least one mood of the first user;   enabling, based on the at least one determined mood, the first user device to perform or disabling, based on the at least one determined mood, the first user device from performing one or more actions associated with the first user device or associated with one or more applications executable on the first user device,   wherein the time duration of the video communication connection comprises a time duration of the at least one determined mood.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein enabling the first user device to perform one or more actions associated with the first user device or associated with one or more applications being executed on the first user device comprises authenticating the first user to the first user device or to the one or more applications executable on the first user device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood comprises a visual feature or gesture. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood comprises a facial feature or gesture. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood comprises both a visual gesture or feature, and a vocal gesture or feature. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood is associated with or comprises an emotion. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood is associated with or comprises a facial expression. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood is associated with or comprises at least one of a vocal inflection, a vocal pitch shift, a word delivery speed, a change in word delivery speed, an ambient noise, or an environment noise. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined mood is based on text input by the first user into the first user device. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of: the video content comprises real-time video content, the time duration of the video communication connection comprises a partial time duration of the video communication connection, or the at least one processing device is comprised in the first user device or located remotely from the first user device. 
     
     
         11 . A system comprising at least one processing device, the at least one processing device comprising a communication unit and a graphical processing unit (GPU), the system configured for:
 determining, using the communication unit comprised in the at least one processing device, a video communication connection associated with a first user of a first user device, the video communication connection being associated with a time duration;   analyzing, using the graphical processing unit (GPU) comprised in the at least one processing device, video content of the first user of the first user device;   determining, based on analyzing the video content of the first user of the first user device, at least one mood of the first user;   enabling, based on the at least one determined mood, the first user device to perform or disabling, based on the at least one determined mood, the first user device from performing one or more actions associated with the first user device or associated with one or more applications executable on the first user device,   wherein the time duration of the video communication connection comprises a time duration of the at least one determined mood.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein enabling the first user device to perform one or more actions associated with the first user device or associated with one or more applications being executed on the first user device comprises authenticating the first user to the first user device or to the one or more applications executable on the first user device. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one determined mood comprises a visual feature or gesture. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one determined mood comprises a facial feature or gesture. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one determined mood comprises both a visual gesture or feature, and a vocal gesture or feature. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one determined mood is associated with or comprises an emotion. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the system is comprised in the first user device or located remotely from the first user device. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one determined mood is associated with or comprises at least one of a vocal inflection, a vocal pitch shift, a word delivery speed, a change in word delivery speed, an ambient noise, or an environment noise. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one determined mood is based on text input by the first user into the first user device. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of: the video content comprises real-time video content, or the time duration of the video communication connection comprises a partial time duration of the video communication connection.
