Human emotion recognition has attracted much interest of researchers since it can be utilized for various applications and communication software services. For emotion recognition, there are several approaches including facial expression, human motion. In particular, the emotion derivation through wireless signal and its reflection has been developed recently. Also, a concept of virtual emotion barrier has been introduced, which the emotion can be detected by the built virtual emotion barrier. Because human emotion can be changed frequently, the emotion detection delay through virtual emotion barrier should be minimized for possible accurate emotion recognition. In this paper, we introduce delay bounded virtual emotion barriers in IoT-enabled smart cities, which deliberate on the minimum virtual emotion detection latency among the constructed virtual emotion barriers for next generation software services. Then, we formally define a problem whose goal is to create delay-bounded virtual emotion barriers in IoT-enabled area such that the virtual emotion detection maximum delay among virtual emotion barriers is minimized. To solve the problem, we devise a novel scheme which admits virtual emotion recognition with minimum delay. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed approach is evaluated through extensive experiments.
