Emotion Cause Identification in Adaptive Information Presentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information presenting apparatuses can only estimate a user's psychological state, limiting the services they can provide as they do not identify the cause of the user's emotional state, resulting in less tailored and effective information presentation.
Innovation Solution
A control method for an information presenting apparatus that estimates a user's emotion and identifies the cause of that emotion using sensors and processing, allowing for more appropriate information presentation by generating identification information and controlling the presentation accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the apparatus only estimates the user's psychological state, then the estimation process is simple, but the service provision is limited and less tailored
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus segments the emotional analysis into distinct components: emotion estimation (using biometric information) and cause identification (using information presentation data). This segmentation allows the system to handle complex adaptive services by breaking down the problem into manageable processing stages, thereby improving service provision capability without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus implements feedback by using the estimated emotion and identified cause to control and adjust information presentation. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt services dynamically based on user emotional state, significantly enhancing adaptability and personalization of service provision.
2Measurement precision
If the apparatus identifies the cause of the user's emotional state, then the information presentation can be more tailored, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus achieves multi-functionality by integrating multiple capabilities into a single system: biometric data acquisition, emotion estimation, cause identification, and adaptive presentation control. This universal approach allows the system to perform comprehensive emotional analysis and tailored information presentation without requiring separate specialized systems, thereby improving measurement precision while managing processing complexity through integrated architecture.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the apparatus uses both estimated emotion and cause identification to control presentation, then the information presented is more suitable for the user, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus performs preliminary action by pre-processing biometric information to estimate emotion and pre-identifying potential causes from information presentation data. These preliminary processing steps prepare the data in advance, allowing the final presentation control to be made quickly based on pre-computed emotion and cause information, thereby reducing real-time processing time while maintaining high adaptability of information presentation.

AI summary
A control method of a personal authentication apparatus and a personal authentication apparatus stores a piece of authentication information of a predetermined user. The method and apparatus estimates an emotion felt by a target user, based on a physical quantity acquired by a sensor, generates identification information that identifies an object that causes the target user to feel the estimated emotion, based on the physical quantity acquired by the sensor or presentation information presented by a presenter, and determines whether the target user is the predetermined user based on the estimated emotion and the generated identification information and the piece of authentication information of the predetermined user.
