description In today's increasingly rich material life, people are shifting their focus from the physical world to the spiritual world. In order to identify and care for people's emotions, human-machine interaction systems have been created. The currently available human-machine interaction systems often support the interaction between human and robot under the line-of-sight (LOS) propagation environment, while most communications in terms of human-to-human and human-to-machine are non-LOS (NLOS). In order to break the limitation of the traditional human-machine interaction system, we propose the emotion communication system based on NLOS mode. Specifically, we first define the emotion as a kind of multimedia which is similar to voice and video. The information of emotion can not only be recognized, but can also be transmitted over a long distance. Then, considering the real-time requirement of the communications between the involved parties, we propose an emotion communication protocol, which provides a reliable support for the realization of emotion communications. We design a pillow robot speech emotion communication system, where the pillow robot acts as a medium for user emotion mapping. Finally, we analyze the real-time performance of the whole communication process in the scene of a long distance communication between a mother-child users' pair, to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of emotion communications.
