Based on term frequency and emotional scale, this study represents the ordinary scale of categorical data. The emotional adjectives (EA) and functional term (FT) of the data were analyzed to capture UX and identify user segmentation. By extracting and associating the key entities and expressions from user perception, this study identifies the features of wearable devices which trigger user purchasing behavior.
