Information on the 4 emotion items Embarrassment sadness pleasure aggro

The score table holding unit 116 stores and maintains a score table in which the plurality of symbol combinations and preset scores for each of the k emotion items of each of the plurality of symbol combinations are recorded.

For example, the score table maintenance unit 116 may store and maintain a score table as shown in Table 3 below.

multiple symbol combinations Scores for each of the four emotion items Embarrassment sadness pleasure aggro e(' 'e) 40 points 10 points 45 points 15 points o(^^o) (o^^)o 10 points 5 points 65 points 5 points o(-' '-)o 15 points 20 points 5 points 70 points (>_<) 70 points 10 points 30 points 40 points ... ... ... ... ...

Whenever the number of chatting messages received from the chatting party's terminal 130 is n (n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2), the emotion analysis event generator 117 sends n chatting messages received from the chatting party's terminal 130. Sentiment analysis event is generated to analyze the emotion about .

When the emotion analysis event occurs, the symbol combination extraction unit 118 extracts a symbol combination included in the plurality of symbol combinations from the n chatting messages by referring to the score table.

When t (t is a natural number) number of symbol combinations among the plurality of symbol combinations is extracted from the n chatting messages, the score check unit 119 extracts the t number of symbol combinations from the score table. Scores for each of the k emotion items are checked.

For example, assume that 'n=13' and 't=4'. At this time, the emotion analysis event generating unit 117 analyzes the emotions of the 13 chatting messages received from the chatting counterpart's terminal 130 whenever the number of chatting messages received from the chatting counterpart's terminal 130 reaches 13. An emotion analysis event may be generated to do so.

In this way, when the emotion analysis event is generated by the emotion analysis event generating unit 117, the preference combination extractor 118 refers to the score table as shown in Table 3, and selects the plurality of preferences from the 13 chatting messages. Symbol combinations included in the combinations 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<), ...' can be extracted. can

If, by the symbol combination extraction unit 118, the plurality of symbol combinations 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' ' from the 13 chat messages It is a symbol combination included in -)o, (>_<), ...', and the four symbol combinations 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' If '-)o, (>_<)' is extracted, the score confirmation unit 119 selects 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^) from the score table as shown in Table 3 above. )o, o(-', '-)o, (>_<)', and the scores for each of the four emotion items 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' can be confirmed.

That is, the score confirmation unit 119 can confirm '40 points, 10 points, 45 points, and 15 points' as the scores for each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' for 'e (' 'e)', , 'o(^^o) (o^^)o' can be checked as '10 points, 5 points, 65 points, 5 points' as the scores for 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, anger' respectively, For o(-' '-)o,', you can check '15 points, 20 points, 5 points, and 70 points' as the scores for 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, anger' respectively, and '(>_<) ', you can check '70 points, 10 points, 30 points, and 40 points' as the score for each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger'.

The emotion index calculator 120 calculates an emotion index for each of the k emotion items based on scores for each of the k emotion items of the t symbol combinations.

At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the emotion index calculator 120 may include an emotion vector generator 122 and a calculator 123 .

For each of the k emotion items, the emotion vector generator 122 constructs a t-dimensional vector having, as components, scores for each emotion item of the t symbol combinations, thereby generating a value corresponding to each of the k emotion items. Create a t-dimensional emotion vector.

The calculator 123 calculates a Euclidean norm of an emotion vector corresponding to each of the k emotion items as an emotion index corresponding to each of the k emotion items.

Here, the Euclidean norm is an L2 norm for representing the size of a vector or matrix, and can be calculated according to Equation 1 below.

는 유클리드 노름을 의미하고, x_i는 벡터나 행렬에 포함되어 있는 i번째 성분을 의미한다.In Equation 1 above

denotes the Euclidean norm, and x _i denotes the i-th element included in a vector or matrix.

For example, as in the above example, 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_< )', the scores for each of the four emotion items 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, anger' are '40 points, 10 points, 45 points, 15 points', '10 points, 5 points, 65 points, 5 points' , '15 points, 20 points, 5 points, 70 points', '70 points, 10 points, 30 points, 40 points'.

At this time, the emotion vector generation unit 122 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-' for each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, anger' )o, (>_<)' by constructing a 4-dimensional vector having scores for each emotion item as components, it is possible to generate a 4-dimensional emotion vector corresponding to each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, anger'.

In this regard, for 'embarrassment', the scores for each emotion item were 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' is '40 (points), 10 (points), 15 (points), and 70 (points)', the emotion vector generator 122 converts '[40 10 15 70] into a 4-dimensional emotion vector for 'embarrassment'. ' can be created. And, for 'sadness', the score for each emotion item of 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' is ' 10 (points), 5 (points), 20 (points), 10 (points)', so the emotion vector generator 122 converts '[10 5 20 10]' as a 4-dimensional emotion vector for 'sadness'. can create And, for 'joy', the score for each emotion item of 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' is ' 45 (points), 65 (points), 5 (points), and 30 (points)', so the emotion vector generator 122 converts '[45 65 5 30]' as a 4-dimensional emotion vector for 'joy'. can create Finally, for 'angry man', the scores for each emotion item were 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' Since '15 (points), 5 (points), 70 (points), 40 (points)', the emotion vector generator 122 converts '[15 5 70 40]' into a 4-dimensional emotion vector for 'angry man'. can create

In this way, when emotion vectors corresponding to each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' are generated, the operation unit 123 determines the emotion vectors corresponding to each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' '[40 10 15 70], The Euclidean norms of [10 5 20 10], [45 65 5 30], and [15 5 70 40] can be calculated as '82.61, 25, 84.7, 82.15' according to Equation 1 above.

After that, the calculation unit 123 converts '82.61, 25, 84.7, 82.15', which are Euclidean norms corresponding to each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger', into an emotion index corresponding to each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger'. can be computed.

After selecting a first emotion item having the largest emotional index among the k emotion items, the emotional state information unit 121 informs that the current emotional state of the chatting partner is an emotional state according to the first emotion item. message is displayed on the screen.

In relation to this, if the operation of the emotional state information unit 121 is described according to the above-described embodiment, since the emotion item having the largest emotional index among 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' is 'joy', the emotional state information unit In (121), an emotion item called 'joy' may be selected as a first emotion item.

Then, the emotional state information unit 121 may display on the screen a guide message informing that the current emotional state of the chatting partner is an emotional state according to the first emotional item, 'joy'.

Through this, the user of the electronic device 110 checks a guide message for guiding the chatting partner's current emotional state, and then conducts an appropriate chat according to the chatting partner's current emotional state confirmed through the guide message, thereby enabling the chatting party to chat. You can continue to communicate smoothly with the other party.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 110 includes an average score value generator 124, an average score vector generator 125, a score vector generator 126, a Euclidean distance calculator 127, and a recommendation symbol. A combination display unit 128 may be further included.

After the guidance message is displayed on the screen by the emotional state information unit 121, the average score value generator 124 averages scores for each emotion item of the t taste combinations for each of the k emotion items. By calculating , an average score value corresponding to each of the k emotion items is generated.

The average score vector generator 125 generates a k-dimensional average score vector having average score values corresponding to each of the k emotion items as components.

The score vector generator 126 refers to the score table and constructs a k-dimensional vector having as components a score for each of the k emotion items of each symbol combination for each of the plurality of symbol combinations. , a k-dimensional score vector corresponding to each of the plurality of symbol combinations is generated.

The Euclidean distance calculator 127 calculates a Euclidean distance between the average score vector and score vectors corresponding to each of the plurality of symbol combinations.

Here, the Euclidean distance means the distance between two vectors when it is assumed that two vectors exist, and can be calculated according to Equation 2 below.

In Equation 2, D is the Euclidean distance, and A _i and B _i denote i-th components included in the two vectors. In general, the smaller the Euclidean distance between two vectors, the more similar the two vectors are, and the larger the Euclidean distance between the two vectors, the more dissimilar vectors they are.

The recommended symbol combination display unit 128 selects p (p is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) number of symbol combinations in order of decreasing Euclidean distance from among the plurality of symbol combinations, configures the p number of symbol combinations into a list, and displays the list. Displayed on the screen as information about a combination of recommended symbols to be input in a chatting message.

For example, as in the above example, when it is assumed that the guidance message is displayed on the screen by the emotional state guide unit 121, the average score value generator 124 calculates 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' respectively. , 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' by calculating the average score for each emotion item, , sadness, joy, anger', respectively, can generate average score values.

In this regard, for 'embarrassment', the scores for each emotion item were 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' is '40 (points), 10 (points), 15 (points), and 70 (points)', the average score value generating unit 124 may generate '33.75' as the average score value for 'embarrassment'. . And, for 'sadness', the score for each emotion item of 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' is ' 10 (points), 5 (points), 20 (points), and 10 (points)', the average score value generating unit 124 may generate '11.25' as the average score value for 'sadness'. And, for 'joy', the score for each emotion item of 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' is ' 45 (points), 65 (points), 5 (points), and 30 (points)', the average point value generator 124 may generate '36.25' as the average point value for 'joy'. Finally, for 'angry man', the scores for each emotion item were 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<)' Since '15 (points), 5 (points), 70 (points), and 40 (points)', the average point value generation unit 124 may generate '32.5' as the average point value for 'angry man'.

In this way, when the average score value corresponding to each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' is generated, the average score vector generator 125 calculates the average score value '33.75, '[33.75 11.25 36.25 32.5]' can be created as a 4-dimensional average score vector having 11.25, 36.25, 32.5' as components.

After that, the score vector generator 126 refers to the score table shown in Table 3 above, and the plurality of symbol combinations 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o For each of (-' '-)o, (>_<), ...', by constructing a 4-dimensional vector having the score for each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, anger' of each symbol combination as a component , 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<), ...' 4-dimensional score vector corresponding to each can create

In this regard, for 'e (' 'e)', the scores for each of 'embarrassment, sadness, joy, and anger' are '40 (points), 10 (points), 45 (points), and 15 (points)', so , the score vector generator 126 may generate '[40 10 45 15]' as a 4-dimensional score vector for 'e(' 'e)'. In this way, the score vector generator 126 generates 'e(' 'e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-' '-)o, (>_<), .. '[40 10 45 15], [10 5 65 5], [15 20 5 70], [70 10 30 40], ...' can be created as a 4-dimensional score vector corresponding to each '.' .

Then, the Euclidean distance calculation unit 127 calculates the mean score vector '[33.75 11.25 36.25 32.5]' and the plurality of symbol combinations 'e(''e), o(^^o) (o^^) o, o(-''-)o,(>_<),...' corresponding score vectors '[40 10 45 15], [10 5 65 5], [15 20 5 70], The Euclidean distance between [70 10 30 40], ...' can be calculated as 'D ₁ , D ₂ , D ₃ , D ₄ , ...' according to Equation 2 above.

In this way, the average score vector '[33.75 11.25 36.25 32.5]' and the plurality of symbol combinations 'e(''e), o(^^o) (o^^) o, o(-''-)o,(>_<),...' corresponding score vectors '[40 10 45 15], [10 5 65 5], [15 20 5 70], If the Euclidean distance between [70 10 30 40], ...' is calculated as 'D ₁ , D ₂ , D ₃ , D ₄ , ...', the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 displays the plurality of symbol combinations. p in the order of decreasing Euclidean distance among 'e(''e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-''-)o,(>_<),...' There are several symbol combinations to choose from.

If p is '3' and it is assumed that the Euclidean distances are small in the order of 'D ₁ , D ₄ , D ₂ , D ₃ , ...' among the Euclidean distances, the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 Three symbols among the plurality of symbol combinations 'e(''e), o(^^o) (o^^)o, o(-''-)o,(>_<),...' Combinations of 'e(''e),(>_<), o(^^o) (o^^)o' can be selected.

After that, the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 organizes the three symbol combinations 'e(' 'e), (>_<), o(^^o) (o^^)o' into a list, A list may be displayed on the screen as information on a combination of recommended symbols to be input into a chatting message.

Through this, the user inserts any one of the recommended symbol combinations displayed in the list into a chatting message and transmits it to the chatting partner, thereby expressing emotion corresponding to the chatting partner's current emotional state.

At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the list is configured, the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 determines the first item having the maximum score for the first emotion item among the p symbol combinations included in the list. After selecting the symbol combination, the font format of the first symbol combination in the list is applied as a preset emphasis format to indicate that it is a symbol combination that is a priority recommendation target, and the font format of the remaining symbol combinations is applied as a preset basic format, The list to which the font format is applied may be displayed on the screen.

For example, as in the above example, the first emotional item identified as the current emotional state of the chatting partner by the emotional state information unit 121 is 'joy', and the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 displays the list When it is assumed that the three symbol combinations are composed of 'e(' 'e), (>_<), o(^^o) (o^^)o', the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 displays the list Among the included three symbol combinations 'e(' 'e), (>_<), o(^^o) (o^^)o', the score for 'joy', which is the first emotion item, is the highest. A first symbol combination may be selected.

In relation to this, for 'e(' 'e)', the score for 'joy' is '45 points', for '(>_<)', the score for 'joy' is '30 points', and for 'o Since the score for 'joy' is '65 points' for '(^^o) (o^^)o', the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 displays 'e(' 'e), (>_<), o Among (^^o) (o^^)o', 'o(^^o) (o^^)o' may be selected as the first symbol combination having the highest score for 'joy'.

After that, the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 emphasizes the font format of 'o(^^o) (o^^)o', which is the first symbol combination in the list, to indicate that it is a symbol combination that is recommended first. The format can be applied.

At this time, assuming that the emphasis format is 'bold', the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 emphasizes the font format of 'o(^^o) (o^^)o', which is the first symbol combination in the list. It can be applied with the format 'Bold'.

Then, the recommended symbol combination display unit 128 applies the font format of the remaining symbol combinations 'e (' 'e), (>_<)' as a preset basic format, and displays the list to which the font format is applied on the screen. can be displayed on the

That is, when the electronic device 110 according to the present invention configures the list including p symbol combinations to be recommended to the user, the score for the first emotion item among the p symbol combinations included in the list is A predetermined emphasis format is applied to the first maximum symbol combination, and a predetermined basic format is applied to the remaining symbol combinations, and the list to which the font format is applied is displayed on the screen, thereby displaying the list on the screen. In step 110, the user can quickly check a symbol combination having the highest score for the first emotion item from the list of recommended symbol combinations.
