Crowd response determination from concurrent audio signals
The patent US12068000B2 describes a sophisticated system designed for processing audio signals that capture concurrent responses from multiple respondents. This system utilizes one or more processors and executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium. Key functionalities include receiving audio signals from an audio sensor, defining time intervals for tracking responses, and processing these signals to separate them into distinct audio signals. The system employs voice recognition to identify individual responses and their associated audio signal intensities. Additionally, it can determine cultural group associations based on voice patterns, aggregate responses to generate a summed audio signal intensity, and display a crowd response on a user interface.
Further enhancements to the system include storing a database of voice patterns linked to various cultural groups, which can be based on factors such as race, accent, or region. The system can also assess customer preferences in retail settings by aggregating specific word responses and determining desired coupons or discounts. Moreover, it can evaluate the hierarchical level of respondents within a crowd, compute scores based on these levels, and display responses in a structured format. The system's versatility extends to applications such as live auctions, competitions, and product feature modifications, making it a valuable tool for analyzing and responding to collective audio inputs in diverse environments.
