Abstract

An emotional map animation display device and method are disclosed. The disclosed method comprises the steps of: maintaining a database that stores emotional indices for unit time intervals for pre-set unit regions (a); receiving information on an emotional display time interval and an emotional index update time interval set by a user, and obtaining information on unit times included in the emotional display interval (b); displaying a map based on user interface on a user screen and obtaining information on unit regions included in the map displayed on the user screen (c); and painting colors corresponding to the emotional indices of the unit regions included in the map using a painting function based on the information stored in the database and the emotional index update time interval (d), wherein step (d) paints colors corresponding to the emotional index of the next unit time after the current unit time at each emotional index update time. According to the disclosed device and method, it is possible to adaptively provide changes in emotion over time according to various user requirements, and even while emotions over time are being displayed, adaptive emotional display is possible in response to sudden changes in display methods, such as the user zooming in/out of the map.

Description

Method and Device for Displaying Emotion Map Animation The present invention relates to an emotion map animation display device and method, and more specifically, to a device and method for displaying changes in emotion over time in an animation manner. Various methods have been studied to analyze regional sentiment information by analyzing data from social media. Sentiment mapping, a method of displaying emotions, is an active area of research because it allows for the identification of emotional states in each region through local social media data. In particular, various artificial intelligence models are being used when analyzing social media data. There is a demand for time-varying emotion maps that not only display emotion maps of specific periods but also show chronological changes in emotions through animation; however, existing research on time-varying emotion maps has generally involved generating and providing these maps to users as videos. However, emotion maps provided via video had the problem of being difficult to satisfy the diverse needs of users. While there is a requirement to be able to set the time intervals and regions where emotions are displayed according to user needs, video-based emotion maps were provided only in a way that unilaterally displayed emotions changing at preset time intervals. In addition, the time-varying appraisal map provided in a video format had a problem in that it could not respond at all to sudden user demands, such as zooming in/out of the map and moving the display area.
