Dr. Rana El Kaliouby, co-founder and CEO of affectiva, said:
“In recent years, Affected has continuously pursued new patents because we have really launched and advances the areas of emotion AI (Artificial Intelligence) and also human perception AI.
The magnitude and also the depth of our patent portfolio reflect our dedication to push the limits of the vision of the computer system, automatic learning, deep discovery and AI on the side; And, testifies to our management in the specification of the many imaginative and various applications of the human perception IA which shape the sectors today and in the future. “”
The main advantage of this data is, obviously, security. Locating drowsiness or distractions could help keep lives.
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA), the main causes of accidents are human errors and / or ecological problems. The human error is at the top of the control list, noted as the cause of 95% of accidents.
However, it is not just a question of affected security technology. For other truck owners, examining their emotions as well as existing perception can provide improved experiences using points such as infotainment systems.
The 6 current licenses are:
1. Analysis of the mental state of drowsiness using the flashing rate (American patent n ° 10867197): drowsiness, psychological exhaustion, interest, as well as cognitive tons are determined on the basis of the temporal analysis of the rate of flashing of a person. These details can be used to handle the truck operation, in particular by recommending a break, modifying the atmosphere in the cabin or by triggering braking as well as a guide control.
2. Assessment of cognitive states for vehicle navigation (American patent n ° 10922566): Assigns vehicle control via multimodal detection of the cognitive states of the owners. This is particularly useful for semi-autonomous cars to ensure that the transfer of secure control between cars and trucks as well as the motorist. The analysis is carried out using signals such as speech and vocalization of non -discourse – such as yawning as well as snoring – and physiological information made up of heart as well as breathing speed. He also considers environmental problems such as temperature, lighting, day of the day, climate, as well as infotainment.
3. Cognitive manipulation of vehicles based on the State using an image processing near infrared (American patent n ° 10922567): Movers close infrared images (NIR) of integrated electronic cameras, using deep neural networks that operate on enriched systems. The use of NIR cameras allows readable images in darker lighting conditions such as driving in the evening or via a passage.
4. Recommendation of automotive content via affect (US certificate n ° 10911829): Infopressing web content is recommended using elements such as the emotional state of vehicle occupants. Personalized web content improves the transport experience and offers new monetization possibilities for car manufacturers and also advertisers.
5. Automobile content recommendation using cognitive states (American patent n ° 10897650): comparable to the above, but is based on an understanding of cognitive states drawn from several sensors inside a truck. Custom content references can help passengers concentrate, relax or calm down while making a trip.
6. Image analysis for the evaluation of emotional metrics (American patent n ° 10869626) :. Accumulates an individual's psychological reactions to material and electronic experiences consumed on smartphones and also in cars. This helps a private track and measures their feelings over time, all with opt-in and consent-acting as a physical fitness tracker for emotional health and well-being.
