According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-based system and method for sociotechnical analysis of facial expressions, enabling enhanced understanding of human emotional and social behavior in dynamic environments. The system integrates advanced machine learning models, computer vision techniques, and sociotechnical analytics to capture, process, and interpret subtle facial cues from real-time or recorded video streams. By correlating facial expression patterns with contextual and environmental data, the system generates insights regarding individual and group emotional states, social interactions, and behavioral tendencies. The system employs a modular architecture including a facial detection and feature extraction module, an emotion classification engine, a sociotechnical context analyzer, and a visualization interface. This invention finds applications in organizational behavior analysis, human-computer interaction, mental health assessment, customer experience evaluation, and social robotics. The method provides a robust, real-time, and context-aware framework for understanding complex human interactions through the lens of facial expressions."
