Abstract

Disclosed are a method and a system for recognizing an emotion during a call and utilizing the recognized emotion. An emotion-based call content providing method includes recognizing an emotion from call details during a call between a user and a counterpart, and storing at least a portion of the call details and providing the same as content related to the call based on the recognized emotion.

Claims (39)

1 . A computer-implemented emotion-based call content providing method comprising:

recognizing an emotion from call details during a call between a user and a counterpart;

storing at least a portion of the call details; and

providing the at least a portion of the call details as first content related to the call based on the recognized emotion.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recognizing comprises recognizing the emotion using at least one of a video and a voice exchanged between the user and the counterpart.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the recognizing comprises recognizing the emotion about at least one of the user and the counterpart from the call details.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the recognizing comprises recognizing an emotion intensity for each section of the call, and

the providing comprises storing, as highlight content, call details of a specific section from which a specific emotion with a highest intensity is recognized among entire sections of the call.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the providing comprises providing the highlight content through an interface screen associated with the call.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the providing comprises providing a function of sharing the highlight content with another user.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a representative emotion based on at least one of an emotion type and an intensity of the recognized emotion and providing second content corresponding to the representative emotion.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the providing second content corresponding to the representative emotion comprises:

selecting a first emotion corresponding to a highest appearance frequency or a highest emotion intensity as the representative emotion, or

summing values of an emotion intensity for each emotion type and selecting a second emotion having a largest summed value as the representative emotion.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the providing second content corresponding to the representative emotion comprises displaying an icon representing the representative emotion through an interface screen associated with the call.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

calculating an emotion ranking for each counterpart by accumulating the recognized emotion therefor, and providing a counterpart list including identifications of counterparts and emotion rankings associated therewith.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the providing a counterpart list comprises calculating the emotion ranking for each counterpart by summing an intensity of emotion corresponding to an emotion type among a plurality of emotions recognized with respect to the call.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the providing a counterpart list comprises calculating the emotion ranking for each counterpart with respect to each emotion type and providing the counterpart list according to the emotion ranking of a specific emotion type selected based on a user request.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, when executed by a computer, to cause the computer to perform an emotion-based call content providing method, wherein the emotion-based call content providing method comprises:

recognizing an emotion from call details during a call between a user and a counterpart;

storing at least a portion of the call details; and

providing the at least a portion of the call details as content related to the call based on the recognized emotion.

14 . A computer-implemented emotion-based call content providing system comprising:

at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to recognize an emotion from call details during a call between a user and a counterpart,

store at least a portion of the call details, and

provide the at least a portion of the call details as content related to the call based on the recognized emotion.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to recognize the emotion about at least one of the user and the counterpart from the call details using at least one of a video and a voice exchanged between the user and the counterpart.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to,

recognize an emotion intensity for each section of the call, and

store, as highlight content, call details of a specific section from which a specific emotion with a highest intensity is recognized among entire sections of the call.

17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to select a representative emotion based on at least one of a type and an intensity of the recognized emotion and provide content corresponding to the representative emotion.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform,

selecting a first emotion corresponding to a highest appearance frequency or a highest emotion intensity as the representative emotion, or

summing a value of an emotion intensity for each emotion type and selecting a second emotion having a largest summed value as the representative emotion.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to calculate an emotion ranking for each counterpart by accumulating the recognized emotion therefor, and provide a counterpart list including identifications of counterparts and emotion rankings associated therewith.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to calculate the emotion ranking for each counterpart by adding an intensity of emotion corresponding to an emotion type among a plurality of emotions recognized with respect to the call.
