Abstract
Provided is an emotion information generating apparatus that is capable of recognizing a user's emotional state for each function of a terminal. The emotion information generating apparatus detects a user's emotional state and maps the user's emotional state to a function of the terminal, thus creating emotion information.
Claims24
An emotion information generating apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a function detector configured to detect an execution state of a first function of a plurality of functions executed by a terminal;
- an emotion detector configured to
- detect an interaction of a user with the terminal while the first function is being executed, and
- convert the detected interaction into emotional data comprising an emotional state of the user of the terminal;
- a mapping unit configured to map the emotional state of the user to at least one of the first function executed by the terminal and information included in the first function executed by the terminal;
- a storage unit configured to store the first function in association with the mapped emotional state of the user,
- wherein the storage unit additionally stores each of the plurality of functions executed by the terminal in association with a corresponding emotional state of the user mapped to each of the plurality of functions;
- and
- an output device configured to visually, acoustically, or tactually output a function recommendation based on the emotional state.

A function recommendation apparatus using emotion information, the function recommendation apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- an emotion information generating unit configured to map a first emotional state of a user of a terminal to at least one of a first function of a plurality of functions executed by the terminal and information included in the first function executed by the terminal;
- a storage unit configured to store the first function in association with the first emotional state of the user and to additionally store each of the plurality of functions executed by the terminal in association with a corresponding emotional state of the user mapped to each of the plurality of functions;
- a recommendation unit configured to recommend at least one function from among the plurality of stored functions to the user based on the first emotional state of the user and the stored corresponding emotional states;
- and
- an output device configured to visually, acoustically, or tactually output the at least one recommended function to the user.
