Emotion Data Input Device for Group Mood Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is challenging to objectively assess and manage the emotions and moods of group members, leading to difficulties in maintaining a relaxed atmosphere, as sensitivity levels vary significantly among individuals, making it hard to adjust feelings and moods collectively, which can result in stress and related mental and physical health issues.
Innovation Solution
A data input, display, and analysis device that allows members to input their emotions and moods, converting them into quantifiable data for objective analysis and visualization, enabling automatic determination of sensitivity levels and providing programs to address excess sensitivity or insensitivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If members of a group try to manage emotions and moods through rules or guidance, then some level of control is achieved, but the sensitivity or feeling of each member cannot be objectively determined or regulated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual, subjective emotional assessment with an automated information processing system that uses sensors and algorithms to objectively measure emotional states. This substitutes human judgment (mechanical system) with electronic detection and computational analysis, enabling precise, objective measurement of sensitivity levels while maintaining ease of group-wide emotional management.
2Quantity of substance
If the number of members in the group is increased, then the group becomes more substantial, but it becomes extremely difficult to lead all members to relaxation and keep them relaxed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal emotional management system that can handle any number of group members through standardized procedures. The information processing device performs multiple functions: detecting individual emotions, aggregating group mood data, analyzing sensitivity levels, and providing standardized relaxation guidance. This multi-functional approach maintains manageable complexity despite increasing group size.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables each member to receive personalized emotional management through automated analysis and feedback. Members input their emotional states, the system automatically analyzes their sensitivity levels relative to the group, and provides individualized guidance for achieving relaxation. This self-service approach scales efficiently without requiring proportional increases in management complexity.
3Stability of the object's composition
If members continuously suppress their unstable feelings to conform to group norms, then social harmony is maintained, but stress accumulates leading to mental and physical illnesses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous feedback loops where members' emotional states are detected, analyzed, and reflected back to them through the information processing device. This feedback mechanism allows members to recognize their emotional patterns and receive guidance for healthy expression rather than suppression. The system monitors group mood trends and provides interventions that maintain stability while preventing harmful stress accumulation through early detection and personalized support.
Data Source
AI summary
A feeling of each of members forming a group or team and the mood of all the members felt by each member are objectified and recorded. An emotion/mood data input, display, and analysis device includes a controller, a display, an input unit, and a recording unit. The controller includes an input screen generation unit. The input screen generation unit generates a first input screen that allows each of multiple members forming a group to, as an inputter, input whether an emotion or feeling of the each member is cheerful or gloomy, a level of cheerfulness or gloominess, whether the emotion or feeling is strong or weak, and a level of strength or weakness in a bifurcated manner. The display displays the first input screen. The controller captures data through the first input screen displayed on the display and the input unit and records the data in the recording unit.
