Abstract

The introduction of mood as context of a mobile user opens up many opportunities for the design of novel context-aware services and applications. This paper presents the first prototype of a mobile system platform that is able to derive the mood of a person and make it available as a contextual building block to mobile services and application. The mood is derived based on physiological signals captured by a body sensor network. As a proof-of-concept application a simple mood based messaging service has been developed on top of the platform.
