ABSTRACT
In our daily life, deciding what caused the bad mood is not easy. This study will design an Expert Mood
Identifier System for mobile application. We propose a model that uses 6 variables as the inputs, they are
intensity of Sleep (SL), intensity of Eat (ET), hours of using Phone (PH), Spare Time (ST), intensity of
Sensitive (SN), intensity of Confidence (CF). These inputs, using Sugeno fuzzy logic, are then fuzzificated
to linguistic variables, so that they able to evaluated with the if-then rules. Result of the evaluation will
show the highest possibility causes either in Love (LV) or density schedule. It will be defuzzificated to a
crisp number showing the percentage of what causes it. The experiment results are presented and show the
Mood Identifier system is running well on BlackBerry platform and can be used successfully to identify the
causes of bad mood with a solution for each case.

1. INTRODUCTION
Everyday our moods are so unexpected that it is
hard to know where they come from, why they occur and
what can be done about them. But these daily contrast in
our feelings are actually easier to understand and manage
than most people realize. If someone is an introvert-that
is, someone with more of a quiet, shy nature-what he
does or says tends to depend a lot upon how he feels. In
other words, he is affected by his moods. If he is an
extroverts, who focus more on the outside world, it is
easier for him to ignore their moods. However,
extroverts who ignore how they feel for too long can lose
sight of their deeper human needs. As a result, they
become stressed, no longer enjoy life and find that
they’ve lost their purpose. It is very important to know
what makes the mood change to worse and to solve it. In
this study, we will use the fuzzy logic to calculate what
the causes of bad moods, with knowledge from the
expert of psychology. State of the art of this research is a
new model of Expert Mood Identifier system using
BlackBerry platform that very popular in Indonesia.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
So far the method using technology to identify the
causes of mood is using an interactive voice response
system. It is a chance to solve this problem using
questionnaires with different method. Defining a feeling
is not only yes or no and it is not an exact number, but it
can be represented with fuzzy set. For example, feeling
good and bad is subjective, it is not only ‘good’ and
‘bad’, but can be ‘slightly good’, or ‘not too bad’. Thus
we need a method that can use a imprecise and
ambiguous values as the inputs, like fuzzy logic.
2.1. Theory of Moods
Based on APA Dictionary of Psychology, a mood
defines as any short-lived emotional state, usually of low
intensity (e.g., a cheerful mood an irritable mood).
Moods are a background feeling that persists over time
that define how someone are. Usually moods are less
intense and longer lasting than emotions, although the
lower intensity is not true in a case of a serious
