Abstract

Techniques and mechanisms are described herein for facilitating the detection of user responses to media content. According to various embodiments, movement data associated with a presentation of a media content item may be received from a client device. The received movement data may then be compared with movement calibration information to create media content response data that indicates a user response to the media content item. The movement calibration information may correlate movement data with user responses to the presented media content item.

Claims (29)

1. A method comprising:

receiving first movement data transmitted from a mobile phone including a processor and memory, the first movement data being associated with a presentation of an on-demand video content item at a television in association with a content management account, the content management account associating user preference information with on-demand video content, the first movement data indicating a movement of the mobile phone through space;

comparing the first movement data with movement calibration information to create media content response data, the movement calibration information correlating second movement data with a plurality of user responses to the presented on-demand video content item, the second movement data received from a first plurality of mobile phones, the movement calibration information being determined by comparing the second movement data with media content timing information that describes when the on-demand video content item was presented at a second plurality of client machines, the media content response data indicating one or more of the plurality of user responses; and

storing the media content response data on a storage medium.

2. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the second client machine is operable to wirelessly communicate with the mobile phone.

3. The method recited in claim 2 , wherein the first movement data comprises signal strength data indicating a strength of a wireless connection between the mobile phone and the television.

4. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the first movement data is detected at a sensor located at the mobile phone.

5. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the second movement data indicates respective movements of the first plurality of mobile phones through space.

6. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the first movement data comprises acceleration data representing an acceleration of the mobile phone.

7. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the first movement data comprises location data indicating a location of the mobile phone.

8. The method recited in claim 1 , wherein the first movement data comprises spatial orientation data indicating a spatial orientation of the mobile phone.

9. A system comprising:

a communications interface operable to receive first movement data transmitted from a mobile phone including a processor and memory, the first movement data being associated with a presentation of an on-demand video content item at a television in association with a content management account, the content management account associating user preference information with on-demand video content, the first movement data indicating a movement of the mobile phone through space;

a system processor operable to compare the first movement data with movement calibration information to create media content response data, the movement calibration information correlating second movement data with a plurality of user responses to the presented on-demand video content item, the second movement data received from a first plurality of client machines, the movement calibration information being determined by comparing the second movement data with media content timing information that describes when the on-demand video content item was presented at a second plurality of client machines, the media content response data indicating one or more of the plurality of user responses; and

a storage medium operable to store the media content response data.

10. The system recited in claim 9 , wherein the second client machine is operable to wirelessly communicate with the mobile phone.

11. The system recited in claim 10 , wherein the first movement data comprises signal strength data indicating a strength of a wireless connection between the mobile phone and the television.

12. The system recited in claim 9 , wherein the first movement data is detected at a sensor located at the mobile phone.

13. The system recited in claim 9 , wherein the second movement data indicates respective movements of the first plurality of mobile phones through space.

14. The system recited in claim 9 , wherein the first movement data comprises acceleration data representing an acceleration of the mobile phone.

15. The system recited in claim 9 , wherein the first movement data comprises location data indicating a location of the mobile phone.

16. The system recited in claim 9 , wherein the first movement data comprises spatial orientation data indicating a spatial orientation of the first client machine mobile phone.

17. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon for performing a method, the method comprising:

receiving first movement data transmitted from a mobile phone including a processor and memory, the first movement data being associated with a presentation of an on-demand video content item at a television in association with a content management account, the content management account associating user preference information with on-demand video content, the first movement data indicating a movement of the mobile phone through space;

comparing the first movement data with movement calibration information to create media content response data, the movement calibration information correlating second movement data with a plurality of user responses to the presented on-demand video content item, the second movement data received from a first plurality of client machines, the movement calibration information being determined by comparing the second movement data with media content timing information that describes when the on-demand video content item was presented at a second plurality of client machines, the media content response data indicating one or more of the plurality of user responses; and

storing the media content response data on a storage medium.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media recited in claim 17 , wherein the second client machine is operable to wirelessly communicate with the mobile phone.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media recited in claim 18 , wherein the first movement data comprises signal strength data indicating a strength of a wireless connection between the mobile phone and the television.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media recited in claim 17 , wherein the first movement data is detected at a sensor located at the mobile phone.
