Patent ID: 8380658

Claim:
A computationally-implemented method, comprising: acquiring a result of an observation of an authoring user, the result of the observation of the authoring user having been acquired, at least in part, with one or more sensing devices, the observation of the authoring user having included one or more observations of one or more physical characteristics of the authoring user that were made during or proximate to authoring by the authoring user of an electronic communication to a receiving user; acquiring a result of an observation of a receiving user, the results of the observation of the receiving user having been acquired, at least in part, with one or more second sensing devices, the observation of the receiving user having included one or more observations of one or more physical characteristics of the receiving user that were made during or proximate to a display of the electronic communication to the receiving user; comparing the result of the observation of the authoring user with the result of the observation of the receiving user, wherein said comparing the result of the observation of the authoring user with the result of the observation of the receiving user is performed via at least one of a machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter; and presenting data indicative of an extent of congruity between the result of the observation of the authoring user and the result of the observation of the receiving user based at least in part on said comparing.
