Phone 'read' is the emotion of the owner

Researchers at Samsung have introduced a new technology on smartphones, which can recognize the feelings of the owner.

According TechnologyReview, instead of using the sensor dedicated camera to identify "looking face capture", the smartphone is equipped with this new technology can "fortune" the emotions of users based on how This user is manipulating the phone.

For example, this technology records input operations, such as the speed at which the user typed (or pressed) the keyboard, or the frequency of using the spacebar as well as other special symbols, or The routine of "shake" the phone.

"These records will allow the phone to predict employers' happiness, sadness, surprise, anxiety, anger, or resentment," said Hosub Lee, a researcher with the Institute for Technical Studies. high of Samsung said.

He noted that the input manipulations do not directly reflect the user's emotions, but still show a correlation between these behaviors and the state of a person's nerves. Then, the "self-learning" algorithms of the software on the device can accurately detect up to 67.5% of the user's emotions when manipulating the phone.

In this way, the phone can automatically apply ringing tones to suit the user's state, or even politely refuse calls since the discovery of a "hard-to-be" owner in person. .

At CES 2012, Samsung will introduce the new technology in a seminar. Specifically, a Twitter social networking utility running on Samsung Galaxy S II phones will be integrated with the technology in the test phase in order to "identify" the message stream (tweet) that the user types. , from which to derive emotions at the present time of the user.

However, the researchers at Samsung also pointed out, the difficulty to widely apply this technology is the habit of manipulating phone users are very different.
