ABSTRACT:
A method for incorporating emotional information in a communication stream by receiving an emotional state indicator indicating an emotional state of a presenter in a communication session, retrieving a cultural profile for the presenter, retrieving a plurality of cultural profiles corresponding to each of several recipients in the communication session, for each recipient, translating the emotional state indicator into a corresponding emoticon according to a difference between the cultural profile of the presenter and the cultural profile of each recipient, merging the translated emoticon into a copy of the communication session, and presenting communication session and merged translated emoticon to each recipient.
