Embodiment Construction

[0028] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a block diagram showing a dog's emotion judging device 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as an emotion judging device) constituting the feature analysis of barking sounds of the present invention. Emotion judging device 1 is composed of conversion means 2 , input sound pattern extraction means 3 , emotion distinction reference sound pattern storage means 4 , comparison means 5 , emotion judgment means 6 , and emotion output means 7 .

[0029] The transforming means 2 is a means for transforming the barking sound of a dog into a digital audio signal representing it. Although not shown separately, the conversion device 2 is constituted by a microphone, an A / D converter, and the like. The microphone picks up the dog's bark and converts it into an electrical signal. An A / D converter digitizes this electrical signal to produce an audio signal. Also, the microphone can be inde...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of determining dog's emotions from its voice with objective supports. The invention follows the procedures of converting dog's voices into electrical audio signals, extracting characteristics in a time to frequency component relation map of the audio signals as a input voice pattern, storing in advance in memory reference voice patterns for various emotions that respectively represent characteristics of time to frequency component relation maps, comparing the input voice pattern with the reference voice patterns, and determining what a dog feels by declaring emotion of the particular reference voice pattern showing the highest correlation with the input voice pattern as a result of the comparison, and emotions represented by the reference voice patterns include 'loneliness', 'frustration', 'aggressiveness', 'assertiveness', 'happiness', and 'wistfulness', and hence, the present invention attains an effective way of determining dog's emotions with objective supports.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for judging emotion based on feature analysis of sound, more specifically, relates to a device for judging a dog's emotion based on feature analysis of barking sound. Background technique [0002] Animals, especially dogs, have long had a close relationship with humans and play an important role, not only as guards, dogs for rescue purposes, but also as pets and members of the family. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that communicating with dogs has been a long-term dream of human beings, and various efforts have been made. The title of the invention is "A Method for Understanding Animal Thinking and a Device for Understanding Animal Thinking", and the publication number is JP Patent Publication No. 10-3479, which discloses a method and device for understanding animal thinking. Animals such as domestic animals make sounds, and convert them into sound signals, receive images formed by the actions of these animal...
