Disclosed herein is a mobile face-to-face interaction monitoring device and method using the same and system including the same, for supporting accurate and efficient turn monitoring. One embodiment of the mobile face-to-face interaction monitoring device may comprise a conversation group detector for scanning mobile devices in a surrounding area and setting a conversation group, a turn detector for determining (conversational) turn using volume topography created based on sound signals detected in the mobile devices in the conversation group, and a meta-linguistic information processor for extracting meta-linguistic context of participants or interactants in the conversation group based on the turn. Other embodiments are described and shown.
