3 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of an emotion expression application according to embodiments of the present invention.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the emotion expression application may share a emotion of each object through a communication network and perform a function of notifying the emotion of another object related to each object. In this case, the emotion of the first object may be provided to terminals of objects having a predetermined relationship with the first object. The emotions of the first object may be provided to objects configured to share the emotions of the first object. The emotional state information may be set through information input by each object and environment information collected through the terminal of each object. The emotional state information may include a depression index, a stress index, a response index, and the like. Here, the relationship between the objects may include a relationship in which emotions are shared, a relationship in which emotions are shared, and a relationship in which emotions are shared. Here, the depression index is composed of detailed factors such as anxiety, alienation, lethargy, regret and inferiority. The stress index can be composed of detailed factors such as obsession, irritation, anger, tension, and jealousy. The response index may be composed of detailed factors such as sleep and appetite. Each detailed factor may be input by the user or indirectly set through information on the user (SNS, terminal usage pattern, contact frequency with neighbors, contents of a message, etc.).

The components for implementing the above functions will be described below. The emotion expression application may reprocess input and information input from each object as stored in the terminal of each object.

The emotion expression application receives data related to emotion state information through the data input unit 261. In detail, the data input unit 261 receives emotional state information of an object from a user or through a peripheral electronic device. The data input unit 261 receives emotional state information from each object, or receives emotional state information through another application.

The data input unit 261 receives inputs from the user regarding detailed factors included in the depression index, the stress index, the response index, and the like. The data input unit 261 provides a symptom and a description for each detailed factor so that the user can select the corresponding information.

For example, the data input unit 261 may obtain emotional state information of the object by analyzing the content input by the user to the social network. The content input by the user is classified into meaningful and non-significant parts, and the emotional state information of each object is classified according to emotions (positive, negative, depressed, crush, and unfavorable) obtained from each meaningful part. Can be obtained. In addition, the data input unit 261 may obtain the emotional state information of each object through the use history of another application. The data input unit 261 may acquire emotional state information of each object by using a search word input through a browser, contents of a read page, emoticons input through a messenger application, contents of a message, and the like.

The emotion expression application may additionally determine the emotional state information of each object by using the environmental information in addition to the input emotional state information. The emotional state information generation unit 262 analyzes the information input through the data input unit 261, the sensing value obtained through the sensor unit of the object, and the emotional state information of the surrounding objects of each object to analyze the emotional state information of each object. Can be generated. Through this, more accurate emotional state information may be obtained in consideration of environmental information in addition to the emotional state information input through the object. The environmental information may have a positive or inverse relationship to the emotional state information, respectively, according to a pre-registered relational expression. The emotional state information generator 262 may generate the emotional state information of the object by using a relational expression for the environmental information. Here, the environmental information refers to information that may affect the emotional state information of the first object, for example, weather information of the location where the first object is located, whether the first object is in communication with another object, and the first object. And a number of times of communication between the object and another object, a search word input by the first object, a set of keywords, and the like.

The emotional state information generator 262 may generate emotional state information of the object including a depression index, a stress index, and a response index input from the object. The depression index is the average of the detailed factors included in the depression index, the stress index is the average of the detailed factors included in the stress index, and the response index is the average of the detailed factors included in the response index. It can be a shame. In addition, the emotion state information generation unit 262 may calculate the emotion state information of each object based on the number of times of connection of each object and the frequency of emotion confirmation of the other object through the peek function. The number of accesses refers to the number of times the user accesses an emotion expression application to input a depression index, a stress index, or a response index, and the emotion checking frequency refers to a frequency of checking emotional state information of another object. The higher the number of accesses, the higher the emotional state information of the object may be determined. The higher the emotion checking frequency, the more reliable the emotional state information of the object may be determined.

The emotional state information generator 262 may correct the emotional state information of each object by using the emotional state information of the surrounding objects of each object. Since a person is a social animal and is affected by the emotion of another person, the emotional state information of the surrounding object may have a significant influence on the emotion of the object. In this case, the relationship between the emotional state information of the object and the surrounding object may be obtained by back tracking the registered emotional state information. For example, the emotional state information of the first object and the emotional state of the second object are considered in consideration of whether the depression index of the emotional state information of the first object is positive or inversely related to the depression index of the emotional state information of the second object. The correlation coefficient (positive or negative) between the state information can be calculated. Correlation coefficients with each object and surrounding objects may be calculated, and the depression index, stress index, response index, etc. of each object and surrounding objects may be calculated by being associated with each other or crossing each other. For example, the depression index of the first object may have a relationship having a correlation coefficient with the depression index of the second object. The depression index of the first object may have a relationship having a correlation coefficient with at least one of a stress index and a response index in addition to the depression index of the second object.

In addition, the direction of influence depends on whether the emotional state information between each object and the surrounding object has a positive correlation coefficient or a negative correlation coefficient. For example, when a positive correlation coefficient is provided between the emotional state information of the first object and the second object, the depression index of the first object may also increase as the depression index of the second object increases. As the response index of the second object increases, the response index of the first object may also increase. The correlation coefficient between the objects may be determined in consideration of emotional state information of the objects and a connection relationship between the objects. For example, the emotional state information of the first object and the second object connected to the boss and the load may be determined to have a negative correlation coefficient. A process of calculating and providing a correlation coefficient will be described with reference to FIGS. 9B, 9B, and 9D.

The emotion expression application may generate an emotion page for generating emotion state information of each object and providing the same to another object or another object. The emotion page generator 263 may generate an emotion page that visually expresses emotion state information of each object and provide the emotion page through a preset screen. The emotion page generator 263 may generate a depression page, a graph corresponding to a depression index, a response index, a honeycomb model, and the like as an emotion page. The emotion page of the object may be included in the screen set by the object and provided. For example, the emotion page of the object may be provided through a standby screen or a lock screen. The emotion page of the object includes current emotional state information, and the detailed view icon may further show weekly, monthly and yearly emotion reports.

The emotion page of the object may include a peek button that is implemented to further provide emotion state information of another object. In this case, the emotion state information of one or more other objects satisfying the position condition and the emotion condition may be further provided through the peeking button. The location condition may include whether it is located adjacent to the current location of the object, whether it is located adjacent to the moving path of the object, and the like.

The emotional condition may include a similar psychological pattern, a similar depression index, a similar stress index, a similar response index, and the like with the object.

As described below, the emotion expression application may be implemented such that a plurality of objects have a relationship with only an emotional state. The relationship setting unit 264 of the emotion expression application may establish a relationship between objects by transmitting and receiving a relationship setting request generated from a first object requesting a relationship and a relationship acceptance signal generated from a counterpart object.

The emotion data applying unit 265 may provide emotion state information of each object to other applications. The emotion data applying unit 265 performs a function of providing emotion state information of the request object in response to a signal for requesting emotion state information from another application.

The emotion expression application according to the embodiments of the present invention determines the price of the information requested by the object, transmits a signal requesting a payment page for paying a price to a payment module, and delivers a payment page in response to the signal. I can receive it and provide it. When the payment completion signal is received from the payment module to complete the payment, the emotion expression application provides the information requested by the object. In this case, the provided information may include emotional state information of another object. The emotion expression application may provide an object with an emotion of another object by paying a predetermined fee.

The emotion expression application according to the embodiments of the present invention may provide a treatment process for psychological improvement of an object from an emotion treatment application installed on the same device or installed on an external device. If the emotional state information of each object falls within a risk range, the emotion expression application may request to generate a treatment process for improving the psychology of the object. Since the emotion of each object can be improved through the emotional state of the other object and the message from the other object, the treatment process can be executed through the emotion expression application of the other object. The treatment process may include transmitting a message sympathizing with the other's feelings, inputting a liking for the posting of the object, inputting a comment of interest in posting the object, and the like.

The emotion expression application according to embodiments of the present invention may receive emotion state information that each object wants to notify. Emotional expression applications reflect the psychology that each object wants to share in its emotional state rather than its ability to measure its own state.

4 to 6 are flowcharts of a emotion sharing method according to embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, in S110, the emotion expression application receives the emotion state information of the first object.

In S120, the emotion expression application may calculate emotion state information of the first object using environment information of the first object and emotion state information of the second object related to the first object. For example, the emotional state information of the first object, which is a parent, is weather information acquired through the terminal of the first object, the number of times of communication with other objects, whether the communication is made, and the emotional state information of the second object that is a child of the first object. It may be determined in consideration of. If the child's depression index is high, the parent's depression index may also be high. The depression index between the child and the parent is calculated to have a positive correlation coefficient, and the emotional state information of each object may be determined using the positive correlation coefficient.

In operation S130, the emotion expression application may transmit and share emotion state information of the first object to the terminal of the second object related to the first object. Here, the second object is an object having one or more connection relations with the first object and may be obtained through a contact registered in the address book of the first object. Emotional state information of the first object may be displayed through an emotion expression application installed in the second object, but when the emotion expression application is not installed, the emotional state information of the first object is provided using an operating system and a system platform. May be implemented. That is, when the emotion state information of the first object in a package form provided through the emotion expression application is first transmitted to the second object, and a display error is received from the terminal of the second object, another application such as a message application or a chat application may be used. Through the emotional state information of the first object may be provided in the form of a message.

In operation S140, the emotion expression application may automatically complete the content of the message for the first object generated from the second object using the emotion state information of the first object. The emotion expression application may automatically complete the content of the message for the first object based on the emotional state information of the first object. For example, if the depression index of the first object is very high, the emotion expression application may automatically complete an empathic and emotional message that may reduce the depression index of the first object. If the stress index of the first object is very high, the emotional expression application may automatically complete an entertaining message that may reduce the stress index of the first object. If the response index of the first object is very high, the emotion expression application may automatically complete a response related message that may reduce the response index of the first object.

Referring to FIG. 5, in operation S210, the emotion expression application may receive emotion state information of the first object.

In S210, the emotion expression application receives the emotion state information of the first object.

In operation S220, the emotion expression application may generate recommendation information about the first object by using emotion state information of the first object. Here, the recommendation information may include treatment related recommendation information, advertisement related recommendation information, friend recommendation information, and the like, and may be generated based on information received from another application. The treatment related recommendation information refers to recommendation information for improving an emotional state in response to the emotional state information of each object. For example, information about activity recommendation (travel, etc.), game recommendation, and exercise recommendation for improving emotional state may be included. The advertisement related recommendation information may include shopping related information corresponding to the emotional state information of each object. The friend recommendation information may recommend another object that has a similar or similar psychological change pattern to each object's emotional state information.

In operation S230, the emotion expression application may generate an emotion page of the first object including emotion state information of the first object, recommendation information of the first object, and emotion state information of the second object having a relationship between the first object.

The emotion page may provide the emotional state information of each object by dividing it into three items, such as a depression index, a stress index, and a response index. Each index may be represented by a value from 1 to 10, and may be represented by a graphic proportional to the corresponding value. As shown in FIG. 8, the emotion page may include a peeking button, a matching button, and a relationship button. The friend recommendation information may be provided in correspondence with the selection of the peeking button. In detail, the screen 801 may be provided to additionally provide another object having emotional state information similar to the emotional state information of each object in response to the selection of the peeking button.

In response to the selection of the matching button, a screen 803 may be provided that provides emotional state information of another object that is compatible with the object in consideration of emotional state information and recommendation information of each object. 803 may further include a matching score with the opponent object as well as the emotional state information of the opponent object.

The screen 802 may further include an emotion state information of an object related to each object and an icon 804 for transmitting a message to the object in response to the selection of the relationship button. According to the selection input to 804, a message to be sent to another object may be automatically generated and provided.

At this time, the amount of information included in the emotion page may vary according to the payment level of each object. For objects with a "grade" payment level, the page provided by the peeking button can provide emotional state information for a significant number of objects. When attempting a one-to-one connection with each object included in the peek page, additional payment may be requested. In addition, when requesting the additional information of each object, it can also be implemented so that the cost according to the amount and importance of the requested information. In this case, the importance may vary depending on the degree of identification of the object.

In addition, the object having a payment level of 'low' may not include any emotional state information on the page provided by the peeking button.

Recommendation information may also be provided differently according to the payment level of each object.

Emotional expression application provides a service for improving the emotional state information of each object with only a low fee payment compared to the general psychotherapy service, the service for improvement can be designed and provided using the emotional state information of other objects .

As shown in FIG. 6, in S310, the emotion expression application may receive a 'peep' function request from the terminal of the first object. The peek function may select and provide other objects that do not have a relationship with the first object but interact with the first object offline. In this case, the object provided through the peeking function is an object in the same space as the first object, an object to watch a movie as the first object, an object that traveled to the same place as the first object, and the same school as the first object. The object may be one of the objects of the company, such as the first object.

In S320, the emotion expression application may provide an encryption of all or a part of emotion state information of another object. The encryption method can use various methods already disclosed. The emotion expression application may disclose emotion state information of another object as it is, but may provide personal information (name, age, photo, etc.) related to another object by encrypting it. The encrypted information can be confirmed through a predetermined fee settlement. The emotion expression application

In operation S330, the emotion expression application may transmit a charging request to the first object according to the information disclosure request signal. The first object may check the emotional state information obtained through the peeking button.

As a result, the first object may objectively view the emotion of the first object through the emotion state information of the other objects.
