Emotion Sharing Model based on Life-Log Comparison - Matching comparable experiences -

Abstract

Sharing information can be easy, but sharing emotion is much more difficult[1]. One approach to sharing emotion effectively is to present the receiver with past similar experiences of his/her own. This study proposes an emotion sharing model by identifying the receiver's experience that best matches that of the sender as indicated by the message being sent. Experiences are found in life log data and structured to permit quantitative comparisons. In this report, the target that the sender wants to share with the receiver consists of "contents", "experience", "emotion". This paper describes how to structure experiences and identify equivalent experiences. To achieve this, it elucidates the cross-correlation relations of the equivalency of experiences and the equivalency of emotions. Trials confirmed its accuracy in terms of experience matching.
