Abstract

In this article, we propose a system to communicate situation information of users and to exchange a message with nonverbal information for remote communication. People want to know a condition and a situation of a communication partner who stays at a remote location, such as a lover, a child and a parent who lives alone. The previous works on a support system for remote communication focused on awareness or synchronicity and the systems require extra devices. Therefore, we adopt a mobile phone as a device to support smooth remote communication and we develop a system exchanging easily users’ situation information with nonverbal expressions that users can understand the contents intuitively.
