The database engine will then retrieve images that match the emotional specifications. The database will also supply image connonyms, and will match these with word and sound connonyms. As well, images will be identifiable by emotional profile appeal according to demographic characteristics such as gender and age group.

Connotative Internet Scanning

A strategic partnership or licensing arrangement between Connotative Intelligence Corporation and a major search provider would be necessary to implement Connotative Internet Scanning. A connotative filter would scan databases for material on any subject chosen by the user—book and movie reviews, business and world news, personal ads, etc. It would summarize and present the user with the emotional responses to that material. For example, a search engine enhanced with Connotative Intelligence Technology would summarize emotional reactions to a movie and recommend other movies that have generated similar emotional responses or feelings—including movies with completely different subject matter from each other.

Connotative Dating and Match-making Services

Computer dating and match-making services are big business. A connotative dating service would be Web-based.

In addition to the usual demographic data, a customer would submit a list of perhaps 10 or 20 words describing things or concepts that are important, positive, and interesting in his or her life (such as duck hunting, computers, accordion music, bull whips, Portugal, etc.) Each item would be linked to 10 or 20 close connonyms, creating a customized database of several hundred words or phrases associated with the customer. The computer would then search through other customers' databases, looking for those having large numbers of connonym matches.

"GiftPerfect" (or "PresentPerfect") Connotative Gift Finder

A Web-based Connotative Gift Finder would enable the gift-giver to identify gifts that are likely to appeal to the recipient through association with the emotional profile of the recipient.

The user of the Connotative Gift Finder would have his or her intended recipient write down a list of his or her favorite things— things he or she has a positive emotional attachment to. At gift-giving time, (birthday, Christmas, graduation, wedding), the user would surf to the Connotative Gift Finder Web site. The user would register for a small fee and then respond to a series of questions about the intended recipient, including a list of the intended recipient's favorite things. The Connotative Gift Finder would respond by providing the user a list of gifts—essentially a list of connonyms (see Emotional Thesaurus).

Connotative Board Games and Web-based Games

Connotative Games would parallel the denotative versions of numerous word-based board games, such as Trivial Pursuit. As well, new board games (and computer and on-line versions) will be developed that take advantage of new connotative content, such as "connonyms" and "He Meant/She Meant" connotative differences.

Unlike synonyms, there is no logic to connonyms. Games incorporating connonyms would likely favor a person having an emotional or intuitive nature over a logical thinker.

Tools to Evaluate the Persuasiveness of Text or Media Messages

Whether people tend to believe the basic message within text is highly influenced by the emotional response it engenders. A special version of the Connotation Checker would go beyond just analyzing emotional content. This tool would gauge the overall persuasiveness of a given message. Such a tool could have tremendous applications in advertising, political speech writing, and many other contexts.
