Abstract
A system that allows users to convey their emotional state of mind by means of selecting their mood from a toolbar when using applications such as instant messaging, SMS, MMS, emails, blogs, commenting etc. Different moods appear as different icons or in a drop-down box as text. Emotion intensity can be changed by a sliding bar present on the toolbar. The sender will have the option to display their mood for that certain message as an emotion label displayed with the message and also by message text formatting: font face and color are emotion dependant whereas font size and tone (lighter/darker shades for the same color) are intensity dependant. This messaging technique allows the recipient to gauge better the sender mood, it can also be used to dynamically determine population mood and extract and plot statistical data on mood/emotion distribution maps, charts or graphs for analysis, interpretation, research and marketing.
