PERM, 6 – RIA Novosti. Mathematics Perm State National Research University (PGNIU) teach people to avoid unnecessary conflicts, controlling emotions with a mobile phone, according to university.

Author of scientific development – graduate student of Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of the University of Vladimir Mikhailov. He created a mobile application analyzes the vote, determining its deviation from the normal state.

“If a person is angry, the device prompts me to make a few steps so he could calm down. For example, when the user says angrily into the phone, the application will tell him that the conversation in such a state can not hurt, and offers a variety of options to stabilize the emotional state. When This application will be able to recognize not only irritated by the voice volume. If you speak loudly, this does not mean that you are evil “- are reported Mikhailova.

Currently, scientists are developing a mathematical model, through which and will operate the application. The model – a unique theory of emotional robots with non-absolute memory, developed at the university. Its author, Professor Oleg Pensky along with graduate students working on the creation of intellectual copy rights. Scientists endow the robot the ability to forget some of the lessons learned. This allows you to create a mathematical model of emotion robot approaching the model of human behavior.

“app, of course, will not be able to determine the emotional state of the user with up to 100%. We will improve our design, based on the data of the experiments. They will begin when we complete the work on the first version of the application”, – quotes the words of institution Mikhailova .

According to university psychologists, it will be useful to businessmen, managers, office workers and others who often does business talks on the phone.
