Abstract

An emotion script generating apparatus, comprising means to receive emotion data, in which the emotion data is obtained according to measurable physiological parameters reflective of a user'"'"'s emotions; and means to generate emotion script using the emotion data based on a predefined template. An emotion script experiencing apparatus, comprising means to receive emotion script, wherein the emotion script is generated using emotion data and is based on a predefined template, the emotion data capable of being obtained according to measurable physiological parameters reflective of a user'"'"'s emotions; and means to affect a user by using emotion data extracted from the emotion script, so as to cause the user to experience the emotion script.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. An emotion script generating apparatus, comprising:

means to receive a user'"'"'s emotion data; and

means to generate emotion script using the emotion data based on a predefined template.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, in which the emotion data is obtained according to measurable physiological parameters reflective of the user'"'"'s emotions.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, in which the receiving means comprises:

means to receive the user'"'"'s physiological parameters that are acquired by a physiological parameter sensor or a biological signal detector.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, in which the receiving means comprises:

means to receive the user'"'"'s physiological parameters that are input from an emotion data input interface.

15. The apparatus of claim 11, in which the generating means comprises:

means to determine configurations of the predefined template; and

means to add the emotion data to the predefined template according to the configurations of the predefined template.

16. The apparatus of claim 11, in which configurations of the predefined template comprise:
