智能终端的最简情感表达

Minimal Emotional Expressivity in Intelligent Terminals

为了使用低自由度水平的执行器构建引起用户特定情绪感受的表达性模式,提出智能终端产品的最简情感表达方法,首先在统一的效价-唤醒度情感模型下对灯光、音乐、运动和振动4种低自由度执行器的情感表达能力进行分析;然后通过实验得出各执行器在不同的参数条件下可以表达的情感范围,以及执行器自由度水平的取值与用户所感受到的情感愉悦度、唤醒度的相关关系.在实验结果的基础上,设计与开发了一款最简情感表达设计辅助工具,用于辅助设计师在智能终端产品的设计研发过程中对产品的情感表达能力进行快速原型搭建.

This paper aims to propose minimal emotion expression methods of intelligent terminal products,i.e,applying low degree-of-freedom(DoF)actuators to create expressive patterns that are able to trigger users’emotional perceptions.The paper first explored the emotion expression capabilities of four low DoF actuators(light,music,motion,and vibration)under a valence-arousal emotion model framework.The exploratory experiments resulted the range of emotions that each actuator can express,and the correlation between different levels of actuator parameters and the perceived values of pleasure and arousal.An assistive design tool for minimal emotional expression was then developed on the basis of experiment results.This tool could assist designers in rapid prototyping of the product’s emotional expressivity during the design and development process of intelligent terminals.
