Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a determination module configured to determine a result of an observation of a receiving user based at least in part on received sensor data indicative of one or more physiological characteristics of the receiving user, wherein the determination module is configured to determine a result that includes at least an inferred mental state associated with the receiving user inferred based at least in part on the received sensor data indicative of one or more physiological characteristics of the receiving user at least one of during or proximate to a time of a display of an electronic message to the receiving user; a receiving module configured to receive a result of an observation of an authoring user, wherein the receiving module is configured to receive a result that includes at least data indicative of an inferred mental state of the authoring user that was inferred based at least in part on one or more sensed physiological characteristics of the authoring user that were sensed at least one of during or proximate to a time of an authoring of the electronic message; and a comparison module operatively coupled to the receiving module and the determination module and configured to compare the result of the observation of the receiving user with the result of the observation of the authoring user for providing at least an indication of a congruity between the inferred mental state of the receiving user and the inferred mental state of the authoring user with respect to the electronic message; and wherein at least one of the determination module, the receiving module, or the comparison module is at least partly implemented in hardware.
