A System for Enhancing Relationship between Intimate Group Members with Story

Modern society generates and shares great amount of information with rapid development of information and communication infrastructure. The development, however, makes people too busy to communicate enough time with families and accelerates separation of families in a sense of physical and social location. In this paper, we describe two concepts of stories for messages of the communication. The stories are generated from dynamic context information and story template. Then we describe an implementation of a system that enhances inter-communication among intimate group members such as families and friends by providing opportunities of story exchanges for keeping in touch with them. The system helps for improving individual’s Quality of Life (QoL) and social health.
