A Design and Implementation of an Emotion Reasoning Chip Based Emotion Reasoning System

Abstract—The implementation of the emotion reasoning systems to these days has been on software level; the software evaluates emotional states based on the amount of changes in biological signals. Therefore, the memory consumption and computational overload would increase with the number of parameters used, and the overall effect would be an increased the response time needed to acquire the needed emotion reasoning results. In this paper, we go over the design of a One-Chip hardware reasoning block dedicated to emotion based applications that are capable of processing multiple, real-time information, and the design an emotion reasoning system utilizing this chip. Our system provides an emotion reasoning API for the interaction between sensing and reasoning blocks so that the hardware emotion reasoning device can be easily utilized by emotion based service applications. In addition, it is possible to manufacture accessory devices for smartphones based on downsized reasoning block hardware with USB and Bluetooth interface for use with emotion based mobile services.
