Abstract: Conventional text-based information communications may cause misunderstanding particularly in case of a dialog between different generations, gender or ethnic background. Intelligent communications may solve these problems by the aid of “happiness sensor” and retrieving additional information of personal record of the counterparts. In order to realize the intelligent communications, it is necessary to develop technologies for analysis of big-data, any-place any-time communications in all frequency bands, and zero-power wearable devices that require no recharging, relying instead on low-power devices utilizing energy harvesting. Breakthroughs necessary in silicon device technologies will be discussed.
