BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0016] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the method flow of this application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.
[0018] The embodiment of the present application discloses a method for soothing the emotions of young children.
[0019] Reference Figure 1 , emotional soothing methods for young children include: S11. Acquire physiological information obtained by monitoring the physical indicators of the child using a pre-selected smart wearable device, and acquire behavioral information obtained by monitoring the behavior of the child using a pre-selected monitoring device.
[0020] Among them, smart wearable devices include smart rings and / or bracelets, which integrate heart rate monitoring units, skin conductance sensors, skin temperature sensors, and accelerometers / gyroscopes. Monitoring equipment includes surveillance cameras, microphones, eye movement sensors, etc. installed in places such as nurseries; behavioral information includes motion information and audio information.
[0021] S12. Analyze the physiological information and behavioral information based on the preset emotion determination logic to estimate the child's current emotion category. The emotion determination logic is shown in Table 1.
[0022] Table 1, emotional judgment logic analysis table S13. Generate soothing interaction control information according to the emotion category; wherein the soothing interaction control information is used to instruct a pre-selected soothing interaction device to perform a soothing interaction action.
[0023] The above-mentioned soothing interactive devices include sound and light interactive devices. For example, if there is a smart flower pot that can play and collect audio and has networking capabilities, it can be used as a sound and light interactive device. It can even load and execute a computer program that implements this method when its motherboard data processing capacity is sufficient; if the lighting system of the nursery room is an RGB color-changing lighting system, it can also be used as a sound and light interactive device.
[0024] Generate soothing interaction control information, which can be generated by AIGC for lighting JSON of each emotional sad mode, happy mode, and neutral mode; take the JSON example in happy mode: { "name": "Happy Hour", "actions": [ { "device": "Main light", "command": "set_color", "color": { "hue": 60, / / Yellow, conveys happiness and vitality "saturation": 80, "brightness": 75 } }, { "device": "ambience light", "command": "set_color", "color": { "hue": 30, / / orange, adds warmth "saturation": 100, "brightness": 60 } } ] S14. If the child's current emotion category meets the preset comforting conditions, for example, the child is in anxiety / uneasiness, sadness, anger, sadness, or fear, then the care information is obtained.
[0025] Based on the foregoing, care information can be obtained by identifying monitoring data, and the care information is intended to determine whether the child's parents, relatives, etc. are accompanying the child.
[0026] S15. If the care information meets the preset no-care condition, a care reminder is sent to a pre-stored caregiver terminal (such as a mobile phone), a care request is sent to the designated child care platform (staff), and the control authority of the corresponding soothing interactive device is opened after the request is approved.
[0027] According to the above content, this method can monitor the physiological and behavioral information of young children, analyze their emotions, and automatically perform soothing interactions; at the same time, when the child's caregiver is no longer around, if the child needs soothing, the caregiver will be prompted in time and request help from the designated child care platform to help parents and other caregivers better soothe the child's emotions.
[0028] In one embodiment of the method, the method further comprises: If the child's behavior information meets the feeding conditions, for example, the caregiver makes feeding movements before monitoring and actively speaks the "trigger sentence" for judging feeding, then the current time is recorded as T1; If the child's behavior information meets the excretion conditions, for example, the monitoring data identifies the behavior of changing diapers, and the caregiver actively says the "trigger sentence" for determining excretion, then the current time is recorded as T2; If the child's current emotion category meets the preset comfort conditions, then: Calculate the time from the last feeding time T1, and evaluate whether the next feeding condition is met according to the pre-generated feeding reference cycle. If so, send a feeding reminder message to the caregiver terminal when performing the soothing interaction action; The time from the latest excretion time T2 is calculated, and whether the excretion conditions are met according to the historical records is evaluated. If so, when performing the soothing interaction action, the child excretion prompt information is sent to the caregiver terminal.
[0029] According to the above settings, this method can analyze and check whether the child is in a bad mood because of hunger or discomfort caused by defecation when preparing to comfort the child. If the conditions are met, that is, when the time is close (such as within 10 minutes), corresponding prompts will be given to help the caregiver better complete the care work.
[0030] Furthermore, the method for generating the above-mentioned reference eating cycle includes: Get the birth time of the child; that is, after the caregiver uploads the data for the first time, calculate how long the baby has been born based on the current time; Evaluate the current growth stage based on birth duration and pre-stored infant growth data; for example, determine whether the baby is 1-2 months old or 5-6 months old; Determine the feeding reference period based on the current growth stage and pre-stored standard feeding data for infants and young children.
[0031] It is understandable that the feeding cycles of infants at different growth stages (months) are different. This method can track the growth of infants and update relevant data to make the analysis of infant needs more accurate.
[0032] In another embodiment of the method, it also includes: Obtain information about the user's active control of the soothing interactive device; it is understandable that the caregiver will actively control the lighting, music, etc. when present, so the following considerations should also be made: If the active control information conflicts with the generated soothing interaction control information, and the care information meets the preset caregiver condition, the soothing interaction control information will be terminated and the child's current emotional category and physiological information will be sent to the pre-selected caregiver interaction terminal (such as: the tablet on site, the user's mobile phone, the display on the above-mentioned smart flower pot).
[0033] Among them, the conflict determination conditions are: for example: if active control information is received within 3 consecutive minutes and soothing interactive control information is generated, it is determined to be a conflict.
[0034] Based on the above content, it can be seen that this method will give priority to the active behavior of the caregiver when controlling conflicts. At the same time, the analyzed emotional categories and physiological information of the children will be displayed for the caregiver to refer to and judge the situation of the children.
[0035] If the soothing interaction control information is terminated, the time will be counted and recorded as t1; If t1 exceeds the preset standard soothing time, and the child's current emotion category continues to meet the preset soothing conditions, soothing interaction behavior information corresponding to the soothing interaction control information is sent to the pre-selected caregiver interaction terminal, for example: it is recommended that the atmosphere light be adjusted to orange.
[0036] Based on the above content, it can be seen that when the child’s emotions are not relieved in time after the caregiver takes the initiative to comfort the child, this method will give new suggestions to help them comfort the child.
[0037] In one embodiment of the method, the method further comprises: Obtain the caregiver's physiological information, audio information or facial information, and analyze the caregiver's emotions. Among them, the caregiver's physiological information needs to be collected by the caregiver wearing a product such as a smart ring. The caregiver's emotional analysis refers to the child's emotional analysis.
[0038] If t1 exceeds the preset standard soothing time, and the caregiver's emotions meet the preset negative emotional conditions (such as emotions other than laughter, happiness, excitement, and calmness), the soothing interaction control information is output.
[0039] Based on the above, it can be seen that this method can proactively intervene to comfort the caregiver when the caregiver performs poorly.
[0040] In one embodiment of the method, the method further comprises: If the child's current emotion category meets the preset positive emotion category (such as laughter, happiness, excitement), the current working parameters and time of the soothing interactive device are obtained, recorded, and stored in the child preference database.
[0041] generating a child preference report based on data in a child preference database; The generated soothing interaction control information is adjusted based on the children's preference database. For example, when the child is happy, the standard parameters of the main light are yellow, "saturation": 80, "brightness":75; if the caregiver intervenes and adjusts it to: "saturation": 85, "brightness":70, it will be recorded and used the next time the soothing interaction control information is used to adjust the main light, replacing the original standard parameters of the main light.
[0042] According to the above settings, the soothing interaction control can better match the needs of each family and young children, thereby achieving a better soothing effect.
[0043] In another embodiment of the method, the method further comprises: The audio of the caregiver is obtained, and the audio is recognized and segmented into words or sentences to obtain the decomposed audio data, which is then stored in the database.
[0044] Among them, recognition and word / sentence segmentation processing are performed. For example, the audio is first converted to text, the text is recognized, and AI is used for natural language understanding, classification, and segmentation to obtain words and sentences and correspondingly segment the audio files.
[0045] If the data on the child's preferences in the database indicate that the child prefers to be accompanied by a caregiver, for example, 80% of the time when the child is in positive emotions, the child is accompanied by a caregiver. Then, when the child's current emotion category meets the preset soothing conditions and the care information meets the preset no-care conditions, the preset soothing AI is used to analyze the physiological and behavioral information, and the pre-stored disassembled audio data in the database is called to combine them to generate and output soothing audio.
[0046] The above-mentioned preset soothing AI analyzes physiological information and behavioral information. For example, soothing AI such as AIGC and LLM searches for professional information through AI networking, analyzes what kind of communication content should be used for soothing under the current emotion, filters out the results, and calls the pre-stored disassembled audio data in the database for combination according to the results to generate soothing audio and output it through an audio player.
[0047] According to the above settings, this method can use AI to automatically generate soothing audio for soothing when there is no one to take care of the child.
[0048] On the basis of the above, the method further includes: The on-site audio information collected after the soothing audio is broadcast is obtained and evaluated for simulation degree. The simulation degree evaluation can be performed by comparing the pitch, timbre, waveform envelope, etc. of the current audio with the sample audio pre-recorded by the caregiver, and using the preset weight value to perform a weighted average calculation on the similarity values of each comparison. The pitch and other analysis of the above audio data is obtained by uploading to the audio analysis platform in the cloud.
[0049] Determine whether the simulation evaluation meets the preset standard simulation value. If yes, maintain the generation of the soothing audio; if no, terminate the soothing audio output.
[0050] According to the above settings, it is possible to prevent the soothing audio automatically generated by AI from being too weird or inappropriate and causing a negative soothing effect.
[0051] In another embodiment of the method, the method further includes: if the child's current emotion category and the caregiver's emotion meet the preset positive emotion category, a positive moment capture inquiry request is sent to a pre-selected caregiver interaction terminal, and after the request is approved, capture control information is sent to a pre-selected device with audio and / or image acquisition function. Wherein, based on the aforementioned embodiment, the device with audio and / or image acquisition function is, for example, a camera, a smart flower pot. The request can be sent via audio.
[0052] According to the above settings, this method helps caregivers to preserve the beautiful moments in the nurturing process, guides caregivers and children to interact, and improves the user experience.
[0053] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a system for calming children's emotions.
[0054] The child emotion soothing system comprises a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program which can be loaded by the processor and executes any of the child emotion soothing methods described above.
[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
