Abstract

Embodiments provide a device, apparatus, system, computer program product, and method. A provided method includes receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content. The received information is derived from data acquired by a sensor coupled to the person and sent by a requestor electronic device. The method also includes selecting a particular content from the at least two instances of electronically displayed content. The selecting is based at least in part on the received information. The method further includes facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content. The method also includes returning an indication of the new content to the requestor electronic device.

Claims (42)

1. A method comprising:

receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content, the received information derived from at least one of emotional based or physiological based data acquired by a sensor coupled to the person and sent by a requestor electronic device, the at least one of emotional based or physiological based data being indicative of the respective responses, wherein the receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content includes:

receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content, and indicative of a common contextual attribute of the at least two instances of electronically displayed content;

selecting a particular content from the at least two instances of electronically displayed content, the selecting based at least in part on the at least one of emotional based or physiological based data;

determining a content attribute that includes a category of the particular content;

facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to the determined content attribute of the particular content; and

returning an indication of the new content to the requestor electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information indicative of a content attribute of the particular content.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a content attribute of the particular content.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing the received information for a respective indication of a reaction by the person corresponding to each of the at least two instances of electronically displayed content.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a content attribute of the particular content in response to analyzing the received information for an indication of an emotional based or physiological based reaction of the person to the particular content.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving data indicative of a common contextual attribute of the at least two instances of electronically displayed content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content further includes:

receiving at least one of raw, partially transformed, or transformed information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content.

8. A method comprising:

receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content, the received information derived from at least one of emotional based or physiological based data acquired by a sensor coupled to the person and sent by a requestor electronic device, the at least one of emotional based or physiological based data being indicative of the respective responses, wherein the receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content includes:

receiving information that is indicative of respective responses by a person to each of at least two instances of electronically displayed content, the received information derived from data acquired by a sensor that is at least one of electrically, optically, or mechanically coupled to the person and sent by a requestor electronic device;

selecting a particular content from the at least two instances of electronically displayed content, the selecting based at least in part on the at least one of emotional based or physiological based data;

determining a content attribute that includes a category of the particular content;

facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to the determined content attribute of the particular content; and

returning an indication of the new content to the requestor electronic device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the selecting a particular content from the at least two instances of electronically displayed content further includes:

selecting from the at least two instances of electronically displayed content a particular content corresponding to at least one of a positive or a negative indication of interest by the person.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

facilitating a search of an index for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

facilitating a search for a focused content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding both to a content attribute of the particular content and to an indication of a reaction by the person to the selected content of interest.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to at least one of a content attribute of the particular content, a common contextual attribute of the at least two instances of electronically displayed content, or a reaction by the person to the selected content of interest.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

facilitating a search of at least one of a Web database, a Web index, a directory index, a file index, content of a directory, or content of a file for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content.

15. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

searching for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content.

16. The method of claim 8 , wherein the facilitating a search for a new content using a search parameter corresponding to a content attribute of the particular content further includes:

facilitating a search for a new content predicted to be of interest to the person by a computer implemented algorithm, the algorithm responsive to a content attribute of the particular content.
