ABSTRACT:
A method and system for monitoring a conversation between a pair of speakers for detecting an emotion of at least one of the speakers is provided. First, a voice signal is received after which a particular feature is extracted from the voice signal. Next, an emotion associated with the voice signal is determined based on the extracted feature. The emotion is screened and feedback is provided only if the emotion is determined to be a negative emotion selected from the group of negative emotions consisting of anger, sadness, and fear. Such determined negative emotion is then outputted to a third party during the conversation.
