Tiivistelmä
This thesis describes the concept and design of using the meanings of composed music works to convey information about sender IDs, contents and emotions in mobile phone short messages. I examine the use of selected musical samples to communicate the personalities of senders, categories of contents and emotional contents of messages. A set of experiments is reported which indicate that music conveys this information properly if the music themes are well selected and designed. Cultural differences affect how users interpret the same music work. The improvements and related important elements of using music in musical short message system interface design are also discussed.
