(Phys.org) -- Samsung phones of the future may tell if you are happy, sad, or altogether disgusted. Samsung has filed for a patent on a method and device that can tell a users emotions based on facial expressions. The patent, Method and Apparatus for Recognizing an Emotion of an Individual Based on Facial Action Units was filed at the USPTO back in October last year but came to light this month. Samsungs approach will be to use Action Units (AUs) to recognize how a person feels.
