正如威廉·詹姆斯所说，并被多项心理学研究证实，微笑的行为会对我们的精神状态产生积极影响--当我们笑的时候，我们会变得更快乐。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一种新的数字设备，它自然地鼓励我们日常生活中的微笑行为。这个系统主要是为独居的人设计的，他们可能在情绪低落时难以意识到自己的情绪低落，或难以让自己微笑。我们的HappinessCounter结合了可视微笑识别、用户反馈和网络交流。我们将这个系统安装在一个只有一个人的家庭中，该系统对用户的情绪产生了积极的影响。
As William James stated, and confirmed by several psychological studies, the act of smiling positively affects on our mental status -- we become happier when we laugh. In this paper, we propose a new digital appliance that naturally encourages the act of smiling in our daily lives. This system is designed mainly for people living alone, who may have difficulty realizing when they are in low spirits andor difficulty in making themselves smile. Our HappinessCounter combines visual smile recognition, user feedback, and network communication. We installed this system in a home with a single occupant, and the system had positive effects on the user's mood.
