Patent Document ID: 8781991
Application ID: 13297139

Base Claim:
1. An emotion recognition apparatus, comprising: a data collection unit configured to collect sensing data from a terminal; a first emotion value acquisition unit configured to acquire a first emotion value corresponding to a first axis of a multidimensional emotion model based on an amount or an intensity of the sensing data; a second emotion value acquisition unit configured to acquire a second emotion value corresponding to a second axis of the multidimensional emotion model based on a textual meaning of the sensing data; and an emotion estimation unit configured to estimate an emotional state of a user based on the first emotion value and the second emotion value.

Claim 11:
11. The emotion recognition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second emotion value acquisition unit further calculates an IT level by analyzing the meaning of sensing data relating to a user input that is entered to the terminal, calculates a UC level by analyzing the meaning of sensing data relating to context of the user, and calculates the second emotion value based on a weighted sum of the calculated IT level and the calculated UC level, wherein the user input includes at least one selected from the group of text data, audio data, video data, and an emoticon; and wherein the context includes at least one selected from the group of a location of the user, and a schedule of the user.
