Abstract
An affective model device and a method of deciding the behavior of an affective model device are provided. The affective model device has affective components representing trait, attitude, mood, emotion, and the like. The affective model device updates the emotion at regular time intervals or when a stimulus is received, and decides the behavior based on the updated emotion. The emotion may be updated depending on trait, attitude, and mood.
Claims16
An affective model device, comprising:
- an emotion information storage configured to store at least two of:
- a first affective component that is based on input specificity and a variation interval;
- a second affective component comprising a relatively higher input specificity than the first affective component;
- a third affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the first affective component;
- and
- a fourth affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the second affective component and a relatively higher input specificity than the third affective component;
- and
- a behavior deciding unit configured to decide a behavior of the affective model device based on at least one of:
- the first affective component, the second affective component, the third affective component, and the fourth affective component.
A method for deciding the behavior of an affective model device, the method comprising:
- storing at least two of:
- a first affective component that is based on input specificity and a variation interval,
- a second affective component comprising a relatively higher input specificity than the first affective component,
- a third affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the first affective component, and
- a fourth affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the second affective component and a relatively higher input specificity than the third affective component;
- and
- deciding a behavior of the affective model device based on at least one of:
- the first affective component, the second affective component, the third affective component, and the fourth affective component.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for executing a method for deciding the behavior of an affective model device, the method comprising:
- storing at least two of:
- a first affective component that is based on input specificity and a variation interval,
- a second affective component comprising a relatively higher input specificity than the first affective component,
- a third affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the first affective component, and
- a fourth affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the second affective component and a relatively higher input specificity than the third affective component;
- and
- deciding a behavior of the affective model device based on at least one of:
- the first affective component, the second affective component, the third affective component, and the fourth affective component.
