Definitions
- the present invention relates to display of information concerning human information visualization, particularly of two-dimensional objects such as advertisements.
- None of the above patents discloses the technique of the present invention in displaying information about reaction to an image by breaking the image into matrix cells and varying transparency of cells depending on information gathered about that cell. None of the prior disclosures are believed to have the intuitive impact of the present invention, and therefore are unlikely to be as successful in providing accurate information to decision makers.
- the present invention is of an apparatus and method for displaying viewer reactions to a display object comprising: dividing the display object into a plurality of spatial regions; collecting viewer reactions to an exposure to the display object; correlating the viewer reactions with the spatial regions; and displaying the display object with an aspect of the display of each spatial region being a function of the viewer reactions for the region.
- the display object is divided into a matrix, with each spatial region being a cell of the matrix. Collecting is preferably by exposing a viewer, or a plurality of viewers, to the display object for a duration between % and 4 second, and most preferably a plurality of exposures to the display object are employed.
- the display object is displayed with the transparency (and/or color tingeing) of each spatial region being a function of the viewer reactions for the region.
- a static image may be displayed, or a motion picture sequence employed, preferably of a plurality of images corresponding to a plurality of viewer exposures to the display image.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide a straightforward means for displaying information collected about a display object's impact on viewers.
- a primary advantage of the present invention is that it is intuitively understandable by decision makers at all levels.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features, and further scope of applicability of the present invention will be set forth in part in the detailed description to follow, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
- the objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a display object to be displayed according to the invention
- Figs. 2-4 illustrate the display of the invention of viewer information collected about the display object of Fig. 1 at Y>, 1 , and 4 second exposures, respectively;
- Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the preferred apparatus of the invention.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intuitively appealing method for displaying diagnostic research data or information collected about how an audience or sample of research subjects processes and responds to visually complex display objects. Such a method aids decision makers in quickly seeing the strengths and weaknesses of different elements of a display object in terms of how well they elicit desired effects.
- An "display object”, for purposes of the specification and claims, is any visual stimulus represented or projected on a two-dimensional surface and designed to communicate a specific set of messages in order to elicit an intended response from viewers of that stimulus.
- Display objects include print advertisements, pages from catalogs, magazines or other printed publications, and screens from pages published electronically, as on the Internet or CD-ROMs. Display objects also include photographs or artistic renderings used as virtual representations of three dimensional communication spaces such as store environments, exhibition spaces, or street scenes (e.g., one cluttered with signage).
- the present invention is designed to work with various manners of data collection that measure a human response to various parts of a display object. Two data collection methods are preferred, but others will be seen to be useful with the present invention by one skilled in the art.
- the first preferred data collection approach makes use of controlled time exposures via a computerized interview.
- Each respondent is exposed to the display object on a computer screen for a sequence of measured time periods. For example, the respondent might be exposed to the test for three time exposures: 1 / 2 second, 1 second, and 4 seconds.
- the respondent is asked to record what he or she saw.
- the respondent may also be asked to indicate where exactly on the page or screen he or she saw items and that data is recorded on a grid.
- the information is then coded to determine how long it takes for viewers to register key elements such as a headline, a character, a package, a brand name, or the like.
- different time periods and a different number of exposures may be used.
- This method of data collection measures the order in which respondents take in or process the information contained in a display object.
- the second preferred data collection approach is concerned with how people respond to the different parts of the display object.
- Response can refer to likeability or appeal, purchase interest, relevance, or some other measure of emotional or cognitive response.
- respondents are shown a copy of the display object with a grid or matrix superimposed over it and are asked to provide a rating of their level of response to each cell of the matrix.
- the invention is of a method of displaying information gathered about a display object, such as that of Fig. 1 , divided into a grid.
- a display object such as that of Fig. 1
- an opaque screen in the form of an n x m matrix is superimposed on a copy of the display object.
- the first display presents all of the measurements collected simultaneously in a side-by- side arrangement of the different display screens associated with the timed exposures.
- An example of this type of display is shown in Figs. 2-4.
- Fig. 2 shows that the consumer's eye at the A second mark is attracted to the message in the yellow box and the dog at the top of the display object.
- Fig. 3 shows that the attention at the 1 -second mark moves down to the store's logo.
- Fig. 4 shows that at the 4-second mark the consumer begins examining the prices of products featured on the sides of the display object.
- a second display type is in the form of a movie that shows the progression of viewer attention in a more dynamic way, with a dramatic effect much like that of a photograph developing in the darkroom of viewer consciousness.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the invention 10.
- Personal computer 12, or like image processor is used to receive and/or calculate the correlations between collected information from viewers and spatial regions of a display object designated by the user.
- the personal computer or image processor then places into video memory (or like storage) an appropriate image of the display object with spatial regions assigned different transparencies and/or color tingeing. Images according to the invention may then be displayed in any manner known to the art, such as on a display 18 or on surface 16 via projector 14 (such as a liquid-crystal device (LCD) projector).
- LCD liquid-crystal device
