Abstract

This disclosure covers methods, systems, and computer-readable media that generate a digital survey for respondents based on emotion attributes determined for the respondents from analyzed images of the respondents. In certain embodiments, by generating digital surveys by analyzing images for emotion attributes, the disclosed systems generate digital surveys that are customized for a respondent. To facilitate review of respondents' emotion attributes and the reliability of responses, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems further associate the emotion attributes with responses within a response database for the digital survey.

Claims (46)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving an image depicting a respondent from a capture device;

analyzing the image of the respondent to identify a respondent identifier corresponding to the respondent;

analyzing the image of the respondent to determine an emotion attribute to associate with the respondent identifier;

based on the emotion attribute, identifying content to include within a digital survey; and

providing the digital survey comprising the content to a client device associated with the respondent identifier.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting, based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier, a distribution channel to use in providing the digital survey to the client device associated with the respondent identifier.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the distribution channel comprises one of: an e-mail; an instant message; an SMS message; a social media post; or a phone call.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the content to include within the digital survey based on the emotion attribute comprises determining a survey question to include within the digital survey based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the respondent identifier based on the image further comprises determining a confidence level that indicates a probability that the respondent depicted within the image corresponds to the respondent identifier.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein identifying the content to include within the digital survey is further based on the confidence level.

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining whether the confidence level meets a threshold value; and

if the confidence level meets the threshold value, identifying a first set of questions to include in the digital survey; and

if the confidence level does not meet the threshold value, identifying a second set of questions to include in the digital survey, wherein the first set of questions comprises fewer questions than the second set of questions.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the client device associated with the respondent identifier, a digital survey response to the content of the digital survey; and

determining a reliability score of the digital survey response based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein determining the reliability score of the digital survey response comprises:

determining a sentiment of the digital survey response; and

comparing the sentiment of the digital survey response to the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving, from an administrator device, a request for a digital survey result report; and

withholding the inclusion of the digital survey response within the digital survey result report based on the reliability score of the digital survey response.

11 . A system comprising:

receiving an image depicting a respondent from a capture device;

analyzing the image of the respondent to identify a respondent identifier corresponding to the respondent;

analyzing the image of the respondent to determine an emotion attribute to associate with the respondent identifier;

based on the emotion attribute, identifying content to include within a digital survey; and

providing the digital survey comprising the content to a client device associated with the respondent identifier.

12 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising selecting, based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier, a distribution channel to use in providing the digital survey to the client device associated with the respondent identifier.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein identifying the content to include within the digital survey based on the emotion attribute comprises determining a survey question to include within the digital survey based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein identifying the respondent identifier based on the image further comprises determining a confidence level that indicates a probability that the respondent depicted within the image corresponds to the respondent identifier.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein identifying the content to include within the digital survey is further based on the confidence level.

16 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, from the client device associated with the respondent identifier, a digital survey response to the content of the digital survey; and

determining a reliability score of the digital survey response based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier.

17 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:

receive an image depicting a respondent from a capture device;

analyze the image of the respondent to identify a respondent identifier corresponding to the respondent;

analyze the image of the respondent to determine an emotion attribute to associate with the respondent identifier;

based on the emotion attribute, identify content to include within a digital survey; and

provide the digital survey comprising the content to a client device associated with the respondent identifier.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the computing device to select, based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier, a distribution channel to use in providing the digital survey to the client device associated with the respondent identifier.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein identifying the content to include within the digital survey based on the emotion attribute comprises determining a survey question to include within the digital survey based on the emotion attribute associated with the respondent identifier.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein identifying the respondent identifier based on the image further comprises determining a confidence level that indicates a probability that the respondent depicted within the image corresponds to the respondent identifier.
