Patent ID: 8005894

Claim:
A system, comprising: one or more processors; memory coupled to the one or more processors; an inference data acquisition module configured to acquire inference data including at least a first inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a first authoring user in connection with a particular item of an electronic document and a second inference data that indicates an inferred mental state of a second authoring user in connection with the particular item of the electronic document; a comparison module configured to compare the first inference data with the second inference data; a presentation module configured to present data indicative of an extent of congruity between the inferred mental state of the first authoring user and the inferred mental state of the second authoring user based, at least in part, on the comparison of the first inference data with the second inference data; and an inference data association module configured to associate the first inference data and the second inference data with the particular item, wherein said inference data association module configured to associate the first inference data and the second inference data with the particular item comprises: an inference data inclusion module configured to include into the electronic document the first inference data and the second inference data, wherein said inference data inclusion module configured to include into the electronic document the first inference data and the second inference data comprises: an inference data inclusion module configured to include into the electronic document a first inference data that was obtained based, at least in part, on one or more physical characteristics of the first authoring user sensed during or proximate to an action executed in connection with the particular item and performed, at least in part, by the first authoring user, wherein said inference data inclusion module configured to include into the electronic document a first inference data that was obtained based, at least in part, on one or more physical characteristics of the first authoring user sensed during or proximate to an action executed in connection with the particular item and performed, at least in part, by the first authoring user comprises: an inference data inclusion module configured to include into the electronic document a first inference data that was derived based on a facial expression, a skin characteristic, a voice characteristic, an eye movement, or an iris dilation of the first authoring user observed during or proximate to the action executed in connection with the particular item and performed, at least in part, by the first authoring user.
