The present invention is directed to a method and system for measuring the biometric (physically, behaviorally, biologically and self-report based) responses of an audience to a presentation or interactive experience that provides a sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience and impact of the presentation or interactive experience. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for measuring one or more biometrically based responses of one or more persons being exposed to the presentation in order to determine the moment-to-moment pattern or event based pattern and overall level of engagement. The method and system can include eye tracking to determine areas of the presentation that correspond to high and low levels of biometric responses suggesting high and low levels of visual impact. Further, the invention can be used to determine whether the presentation or the content in the presentation is more effective in a population relative to other presentations (or content) and other populations and to help identify elements of the presentation that contribute to the high level of engagement or impact and the effectiveness and success (or failure) of the presentation for that population.

The invention discloses a data priority-based channel contention access method for a wireless sensor network. The method of the invention ensures different performance index requirements by adopting different channel access mechanisms according to the priority levels (high and low levels) of data packets.

In a liquid crystal display device of the in-plane switching mode (IPS mode), the potential of data that is output from a data driver is set at values between potentials that are given to common lines. Two levels, i.e., high and low levels, are prepared for the potential to be given to the common lines and the potential is inverted between those levels in every field, whereby the polarity of a voltage between both electrodes of a pixel is inverted. As a result, the potential variation ranges of signals that are output from the data driver and a scan driver can be greatly reduced from those of the conventional case, which contributes to reduction in the power consumption of the drivers. Since the voltage applied to a switching element for controlling each pixel can be reduced, the load of the switching element can also be reduced.
