In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0037] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that learns the sleep patterns of newborns and infants and suggests optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. This system aims to support parents and children in achieving healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in child-rearing.

[0038] This system mainly consists of three components: the terminal, the server, and the user's smartphone.

[0039] Terminal

[0040] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect and transmit biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing patterns.

[0041] server

[0042] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it with a timestamp. This stored data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model and used to learn the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environmental settings for each individual baby. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[0043] User's smartphone

[0044] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[0045] Specific examples

[0046] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0047] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0048] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0049] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[0050] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0051] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[0052] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0053] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0054] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0055] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0056] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0057] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0058] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0059] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0060] Step 1:

[0061] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing pattern, etc. The collected data is then sent to a server at specific intervals (e.g., every second).

[0062] Step 2:

[0063] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability.

[0064] Step 3:

[0065] The server performs an initial analysis of the received data. At this stage, it performs exploratory data analysis (EDA) to check the data for normality and the presence of missing values. It also performs data cleaning and normalization as needed.

[0066] Step 4:

[0067] The server's AI model uses the initial analyzed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns. It analyzes past and new data using techniques such as deep learning to extract features (such as a tendency for the baby to cry at certain times of the day).

[0068] Step 5:

[0069] The server then suggests optimal sleep patterns and environmental settings based on the learned sleep patterns. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., setting the room temperature to 22 degrees, playing soft music, giving milk, etc.) and converts them into a data format that can be sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0070] Step 6:

[0071] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. When the baby exhibits certain behaviors (crying, rapid movements, etc.), it detects them and promptly notifies the parent based on the measured data and the latest suggestions from the server. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize the time lag in this process.

[0072] Step 7:

[0073] The user responds to the suggestions sent to their smartphone, such as gently patting the baby's back, playing music, or preparing milk.

[0074] Step 8:

[0075] Users input the results of their actions as feedback data through a smartphone app, and this feedback is sent to the server.

[0076] Step 9:

[0077] The server then retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data, improving the model's accuracy with a new dataset that includes the feedback data, and retrains it to improve the effectiveness of future suggestions.

[0078] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support to improve sleep for parents and babies and reduce parental burden.

[0079] Example 1

[0080] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0081] In today's childcare environment, it is difficult to accurately understand the sleep patterns of newborns and young children and recommend optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. Many parents are unable to detect their baby's crying or abnormalities in real time, which can delay appropriate responses. In addition, there is a lack of systems that effectively incorporate feedback to improve the accuracy of sleep pattern analysis. This can increase stress in childcare and have a negative impact on the health of both parents and children.

[0082] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0083] In this invention, the server includes a means for generating a prompt message suggesting a specific action based on the results of data analysis, a means for sending the prompt message to the user's smartphone, and a means including a smartphone application for inputting feedback on the suggestion made by the user. This makes it possible to accurately grasp a baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal measures in real time, thereby reducing stress in childcare and supporting the health of parents and children.

[0084] "Baby movements" refers to the physical displacements that occur when a baby moves their arms, legs, or body.

[0085] "Cry" refers to the sounds that babies make to indicate discomfort or needs.

[0086] "Room temperature" refers to the temperature of the air in the room where the baby is.

[0087] "Humidity" refers to the percentage of moisture in the air in the baby's environment.

[0088] "Lighting intensity" refers to the brightness of the lights in the room where the baby is.

[0089] "Sensors" refer to devices that detect baby movement, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[0090] "Terminal" refers to a device that includes sensors and collects data on the baby's movements and environment and transmits it to a server.

[0091] "Server" refers to a device that receives, stores, and analyzes data sent from a terminal.

[0092] "Artificial intelligence model" refers to an algorithm that analyzes data received from the device, learns the baby's sleep patterns, and generates optimal suggestions.

[0093] "Prompt sentence" refers to a sentence that suggests specific actions to the user based on the results of data analysis by the server.

[0094] "Feedback" refers to data that reports to the server the results and effects of actions taken by a user based on a suggestion.

[0095] "Smartphone" refers to a mobile information terminal that allows users to receive notifications from the server and enter feedback.

[0096] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0097] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that analyzes the sleep patterns of newborns and infants in real time and suggests optimal methods for putting them to sleep and environmental settings. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and the user's smartphone.

[0098] Terminal

[0099] The device is equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor) to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing pattern and send it with a timestamp.

[0100] server

[0101] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it in a cloud database (e.g., Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model implemented in Python (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch), which learns the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environment settings for each individual baby. These suggestions are formatted as prompts and sent to the user's smartphone.

[0102] User's smartphone

[0103] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time and displays them as notifications. The user then takes specific actions based on the suggestions and sends the results of their actions as feedback to the server via the smartphone application. This feedback is then used to improve the accuracy of the AI ​​model.

[0104] Specific examples

[0105] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0106] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0107] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0108] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a prompt saying "The room temperature is low, please turn the heating up by one degree."

[0109] User's smartphone: The suggestion is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0110] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[0111] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0112] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0113] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0114] Server: Generates the prompt "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0115] User's smartphone: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0116] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0117] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0118] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0119] Step 1: Collect data

[0120] The device collects data using various sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. These sensors include an accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor. The collected data is time-stamped in real time and sent to a server via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The input is the sensor measurement data, and the output is a time-stamped data packet. For example, if the temperature in a baby's room is 21°C and the baby starts crying, the device will collect the temperature data and crying data from the microphone.

[0121] Step 2: Save your data

[0122] The server receives data sent from the device. The received data is stored as is in a cloud database (for example, Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The input is a time-stamped data packet, and the output is a data entry stored in the database. For example, the room temperature data of 21°C and the crying sound data are stored in the database.

[0123] Step 3: Analyze the data

[0124] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using an AI model implemented in Python (for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch). Here, the model learns the baby's sleep patterns and performs anomaly detection and pattern recognition. The input is the stored data entry, and the output is the analysis result. For example, the AI ​​model analyzes the baby's crying data and determines that the baby is hungry.

[0125] Step 4: Generate proposals

[0126] The server generates a prompt sentence based on the analysis result. The generated prompt sentence is sent to the user's smartphone. The input is the analysis result, and the output is the prompt sentence. For example, a generated prompt sentence might be "He might be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0127] Step 5: Proposal Notification

[0128] The user's smartphone receives the prompt sentence sent from the server in real time and displays it as a notification. The input is the prompt sentence, and the output is the smartphone notification. For example, the smartphone may display a notification saying, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0129] Step 6: Implementing the proposal

[0130] The user performs the suggested action based on the notification from the smartphone. The input is the notification from the smartphone, and the output is the user's specific action, for example, the user feeding the baby.

[0131] Step 7: Provide feedback

[0132] The user inputs the results of their actions based on the suggestions as feedback through a smartphone application. The input is the result of the user's actions, and the output is feedback data. For example, the user might input, "After I gave the baby milk, the baby stopped crying."

[0133] Step 8: Saving feedback and improving the model

[0134] The server receives feedback data from users and stores it in a database. It then retrains the AI ​​model based on the feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved AI model. For example, it learns more about the crying patterns of babies when they are hungry.

[0135] Through this series of processing steps, the system can monitor the baby's environment and condition in real time and suggest optimal responses to parents.

[0136] (Application example 1)

[0137] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0138] Conventional baby monitors are designed for use at home and do not provide sufficient support for parents and babies when they are out and about or in a physical store. In particular, it is difficult for parents to immediately respond to their baby's comfort and behavior in a store, which can lead to problems such as parents shortening their shopping time if the baby is uncomfortable. The objective of this invention is to provide a more comfortable environment for parents and children by monitoring baby movements, crying, and environmental data in a physical store and proposing optimal responses in real time.

[0167] Artificial intelligence model: An algorithm installed on the server that learns and analyzes the baby's sleep patterns and comfort based on collected data. For example, TensorFlow or PyTorch is used.

[0168] Notification system: Software that sends server-generated suggestions to parents' smartphones. Notification platforms such as Firebase are used for this purpose.

[0169] User feedback system: This is an application that allows parents to input their responses to suggestions and send them back to the server.

[0170] Processing Description

[0171] First, sensor devices placed in specific areas where babies are present collect real-time environmental data, such as movement, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. This data is sent from the devices to a server and stored as time-series data. An artificial intelligence model installed on the server analyzes the collected data and suggests environmental settings for the baby's comfort and appropriate response actions.

[0172] Suggestions include, for example, "Your baby is crying, so please hold him / her" or "It's a little hot here, so please move to a cooler place." These suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone in real time, allowing the parent to take action based on the notification to improve the baby's comfort.

[0173] In addition, parents can input their actual behavior into the smartphone app as feedback, which is then sent back to the server. This feedback data is then used again as training data for the AI ​​model, improving its accuracy.

[0174] Specific examples

[0175] For example, suppose a baby starts crying in a physical store. The sensor device detects this crying and sends the data to the server. The server compares it with past data and determines that the baby is crying because it is hungry. It then generates a suggestion that says, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk," and sends a notification to the parent's smartphone. If the parent follows this suggestion and gives him some milk, the baby will calm down and stop crying. The parent can then provide feedback on this response, further improving the system's accuracy.

[0176] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0177] "An application that analyzes data on the crying, movements, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity of newborns and infants, and suggests the best way for parents to respond. For example, if a baby is crying because it is sleepy, the system will notify the parent, 'Your baby seems sleepy. Please hold him / her and try to calm him / her down.'"

[0178] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0179] Step 1:

[0180] The device detects the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. The input is real-time data from each sensor, which is processed and summarized within the device and then sent to the server. The output is a data packet sent to the server.

[0181] Step 2:

[0182] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it as time-series data. The input is the data packet sent from the device, which is stored in the database. The output is the data stored in the database.

[0183] Step 3:

[0184] The server analyzes the stored data using an artificial intelligence model to determine the baby's condition. During this process, data analysis algorithms using, for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch are executed. The input is time-series data stored in the database, which is used to analyze the baby's current condition and patterns. The output is a judgment result regarding the baby's condition.

[0185] Step 4:

[0186] The server generates an appropriate suggestion based on the analysis results. For example, if it determines that the reason the baby is crying is "sleepy," it generates the suggestion "The baby seems sleepy. Please hold him and calm him down." The input is the judgment result in step 3, and the output is the generated suggestion.

[0187] Step 5:

[0188] The server notifies the parent's smartphone of the generated suggestions. The input is the suggestion content, and the output is the notification sent to the parent's smartphone. This process uses a notification platform such as Firebase.

[0189] Step 6:

[0190] The user receives a notification on their smartphone and performs the suggested action. The input is the suggested notification displayed on the smartphone, and the output is the user's action. Specifically, the user responds according to the notification, such as holding the baby or feeding it.

[0191] Step 7:

[0192] The user inputs the results of their actual actions into the smartphone app as feedback. The input is the user's actions, which are sent to the server in an input format such as a form. The output is the feedback data sent to the server.

[0193] Step 8:

[0194] The server retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data sent by the user, which is integrated with the existing training data to update the model. The output is an AI model with improved accuracy.

[0195] The above are the specific processing steps for carrying out the invention.

[0196] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0197] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children, and aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and using that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[0198] Components

[0199] This system mainly consists of four components: the terminal, the server, the user's smartphone, and the emotion engine.

[0200] Terminal

[0201] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time.

[0202] server

[0203] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model, which learns the baby's sleep patterns and suggests optimal methods and environmental settings for putting the baby to sleep. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[0204] User's smartphone

[0205] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[0206] Emotion Engine

[0207] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will provide suggestions that are easier than usual or have a relaxing effect. The emotional information is also sent to the server as feedback data and used to train the artificial intelligence model.

[0208] Specific examples

[0209] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0210] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0211] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0212] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[0213] Emotion engine: Determines that the user's stress level is high and includes an additional suggestion to "play relaxing music."

[0214] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0215] User: The parent follows the suggestions to turn up the temperature and play music, and the baby wakes up less often.

[0216] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0217] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0218] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0219] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0220] Emotion engine: Recognizes the user's emotions and omits detailed advice on how to feed the baby if the emotional information is positive.

[0221] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0222] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0223] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, emotion recognition, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0224] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0225] Step 1:

[0226] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. This data is then sent to a server at intervals of one second.

[0227] Step 2:

[0228] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. It performs an initial analysis of the received data to check for normality and the presence of missing values.

[0229] Step 3:

[0230] The server's artificial intelligence model uses the pre-processed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns, including past data, and uses deep learning techniques to analyze the patterns and extract features.

[0231] Step 4:

[0232] The emotion engine receives data from the user's smartphone, such as the user's voice, facial expressions, and text input, and analyzes the user's emotions based on this data to identify their current emotional state.

[0233] Step 5:

[0234] The server combines the learned sleep patterns with emotional data from the emotion engine to suggest optimal sleep methods and environmental settings. For example, it generates specific actions such as setting the temperature in the baby's room to 22 degrees and playing calming music. If the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions are adjusted to be simpler and less burdensome.

[0235] Step 6:

[0236] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. If the baby starts crying or shows abnormal behavior, the device will quickly notify the parent based on the detected data. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize processing time lag.

[0237] Step 7:

[0238] The user performs the suggested actions on their smartphone and then inputs the results as feedback through the smartphone app, including the effect the action had on the baby and the user's own emotional state.

[0239] Step 8:

[0240] The server receives the feedback data and retrains the artificial intelligence model based on it, including new datasets to continually improve the accuracy of its suggestions.

[0241] Step 9:

[0242] The emotion engine again analyzes the user's emotional state and provides feedback to the server's learning process, allowing it to generate more effective suggestions that also take the user's emotional state into account.

[0243] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep, and by taking the user's emotions into consideration, it provides detailed and effective childcare support.

[0244] Example 2

[0245] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0246] In today's world, there is a need for effective systems to support baby sleep, but existing systems are unable to properly monitor the baby's condition or provide appropriate responses to parents' emotions and stress levels.To achieve healthy sleep for parents and children, reduce parenting stress, and increase positive parenting experiences, a system with more advanced data analysis and emotional feedback capabilities is needed.

[0247] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, a means for receiving and storing data transmitted from the terminal, a means for learning the baby's sleep patterns using an artificial intelligence model installed in the server and proposing optimal methods for putting the baby to sleep and environmental settings, a means for notifying the parent's smartphone of the suggestions from the server, a means for re-learning the artificial intelligence model using feedback data from the parent and improving model accuracy, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and adjusting the suggestions. This makes it possible to analyze the baby's condition and the parent's emotions in real time and make optimal suggestions based on the results.

[0248] The "terminal" is a device equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[0255] An "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions.

[0256] "Adjusting suggestions" is the process by which the emotion engine appropriately changes the content of suggestions based on the user's emotions.

[0257] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children. In particular, it aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and utilizing that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[0457] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that learns the sleep patterns of newborns and infants and suggests optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. This system aims to support parents and children in achieving healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in child-rearing.

[0458] This system mainly consists of three components: the terminal, the server, and the user's smartphone.

[0459] Terminal

[0460] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect and transmit biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing patterns.

[0461] server

[0462] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it with a timestamp. This stored data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model and used to learn the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environmental settings for each individual baby. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[0463] User's smartphone

[0464] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[0465] Specific examples

[0466] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0467] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0468] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0469] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[0470] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0471] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[0472] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0473] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0474] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0475] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0476] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0477] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0478] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0479] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0480] Step 1:

[0481] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing pattern, etc. The collected data is then sent to a server at specific intervals (e.g., every second).

[0482] Step 2:

[0483] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability.

[0484] Step 3:

[0485] The server performs an initial analysis of the received data. At this stage, it performs exploratory data analysis (EDA) to check the data for normality and the presence of missing values. It also performs data cleaning and normalization as needed.

[0486] Step 4:

[0487] The server's AI model uses the initial analyzed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns. It analyzes past and new data using techniques such as deep learning to extract features (such as a tendency for the baby to cry at certain times of the day).

[0488] Step 5:

[0489] The server then suggests optimal sleep patterns and environmental settings based on the learned sleep patterns. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., setting the room temperature to 22 degrees, playing soft music, giving milk, etc.) and converts them into a data format that can be sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0490] Step 6:

[0491] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. When the baby exhibits certain behaviors (crying, rapid movements, etc.), it detects them and promptly notifies the parent based on the measured data and the latest suggestions from the server. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize the time lag in this process.

[0492] Step 7:

[0493] The user responds to the suggestions sent to their smartphone, such as gently patting the baby's back, playing music, or preparing milk.

[0494] Step 8:

[0495] Users input the results of their actions as feedback data through a smartphone app, and this feedback is sent to the server.

[0496] Step 9:

[0497] The server then retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data, improving the model's accuracy with a new dataset that includes the feedback data, and retrains it to improve the effectiveness of future suggestions.

[0498] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support to improve sleep for parents and babies and reduce parental burden.

[0499] Example 1

[0500] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0501] In today's childcare environment, it is difficult to accurately understand the sleep patterns of newborns and young children and recommend optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. Many parents are unable to detect their baby's crying or abnormalities in real time, which can delay appropriate responses. In addition, there is a lack of systems that effectively incorporate feedback to improve the accuracy of sleep pattern analysis. This can increase stress in childcare and have a negative impact on the health of both parents and children.

[0502] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0503] In this invention, the server includes a means for generating a prompt message suggesting a specific action based on the results of data analysis, a means for sending the prompt message to the user's smartphone, and a means including a smartphone application for inputting feedback on the suggestion made by the user. This makes it possible to accurately grasp a baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal measures in real time, thereby reducing stress in childcare and supporting the health of parents and children.

[0516] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0517] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that analyzes the sleep patterns of newborns and infants in real time and suggests optimal methods for putting them to sleep and environmental settings. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and the user's smartphone.

[0518] Terminal

[0519] The device is equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor) to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing pattern and send it with a timestamp.

[0520] server

[0521] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it in a cloud database (e.g., Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model implemented in Python (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch), which learns the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environment settings for each individual baby. These suggestions are formatted as prompts and sent to the user's smartphone.

[0522] User's smartphone

[0523] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time and displays them as notifications. The user then takes specific actions based on the suggestions and sends the results of their actions as feedback to the server via the smartphone application. This feedback is then used to improve the accuracy of the AI ​​model.

[0524] Specific examples

[0525] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0526] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0527] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0528] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a prompt saying "The room temperature is low, please turn the heating up by one degree."

[0529] User's smartphone: The suggestion is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0530] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[0531] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0532] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0533] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0534] Server: Generates the prompt "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0535] User's smartphone: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0536] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0537] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0538] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0539] Step 1: Collect data

[0540] The device collects data using various sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. These sensors include an accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor. The collected data is time-stamped in real time and sent to a server via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The input is the sensor measurement data, and the output is a time-stamped data packet. For example, if the temperature in a baby's room is 21°C and the baby starts crying, the device will collect the temperature data and crying data from the microphone.

[0541] Step 2: Save your data

[0542] The server receives data sent from the device. The received data is stored as is in a cloud database (for example, Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The input is a time-stamped data packet, and the output is a data entry stored in the database. For example, the room temperature data of 21°C and the crying sound data are stored in the database.

[0543] Step 3: Analyze the data

[0544] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using an AI model implemented in Python (for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch). Here, the model learns the baby's sleep patterns and performs anomaly detection and pattern recognition. The input is the stored data entry, and the output is the analysis result. For example, the AI ​​model analyzes the baby's crying data and determines that the baby is hungry.

[0545] Step 4: Generate proposals

[0546] The server generates a prompt sentence based on the analysis result. The generated prompt sentence is sent to the user's smartphone. The input is the analysis result, and the output is the prompt sentence. For example, a generated prompt sentence might be "He might be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0547] Step 5: Proposal Notification

[0548] The user's smartphone receives the prompt sentence sent from the server in real time and displays it as a notification. The input is the prompt sentence, and the output is the smartphone notification. For example, the smartphone may display a notification saying, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0549] Step 6: Implementing the proposal

[0550] The user performs the suggested action based on the notification from the smartphone. The input is the notification from the smartphone, and the output is the user's specific action, for example, the user feeding the baby.

[0551] Step 7: Provide feedback

[0552] The user inputs the results of their actions based on the suggestions as feedback through a smartphone application. The input is the result of the user's actions, and the output is feedback data. For example, the user might input, "After I gave the baby milk, the baby stopped crying."

[0553] Step 8: Saving feedback and improving the model

[0554] The server receives feedback data from users and stores it in a database. It then retrains the AI ​​model based on the feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved AI model. For example, it learns more about the crying patterns of babies when they are hungry.

[0555] Through this series of processing steps, the system can monitor the baby's environment and condition in real time and suggest optimal responses to parents.

[0556] (Application example 1)

[0557] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0558] Conventional baby monitors are designed for use at home and do not provide sufficient support for parents and babies when they are out and about or in a physical store. In particular, it is difficult for parents to immediately respond to their baby's comfort and behavior in a store, which can lead to problems such as parents shortening their shopping time if the baby is uncomfortable. The objective of this invention is to provide a more comfortable environment for parents and children by monitoring baby movements, crying, and environmental data in a physical store and proposing optimal responses in real time.

[0559] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0580] This invention is a system that monitors baby movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, lighting intensity, etc. in a physical store to support a baby's comfortable stay. This system consists of the following elements.

[0581] Hardware Configuration

[0582] Terminal: A terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. This terminal is placed in a specific area where the baby is.

[0583] Server: Hardware that receives and stores data sent from sensor terminals and is equipped with an artificial intelligence model.

[0587] Artificial intelligence model: An algorithm installed on the server that learns and analyzes the baby's sleep patterns and comfort based on collected data. For example, TensorFlow or PyTorch is used.

[0588] Notification system: Software that sends server-generated suggestions to parents' smartphones. Notification platforms such as Firebase are used for this purpose.

[0589] User feedback system: This is an application that allows parents to input their responses to suggestions and send them back to the server.

[0590] Processing Description

[0591] First, sensor devices placed in specific areas where babies are present collect real-time environmental data, such as movement, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. This data is sent from the devices to a server and stored as time-series data. An artificial intelligence model installed on the server analyzes the collected data and suggests environmental settings for the baby's comfort and appropriate response actions.

[0592] Suggestions include, for example, "Your baby is crying, so please hold him / her" or "It's a little hot here, so please move to a cooler place." These suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone in real time, allowing the parent to take action based on the notification to improve the baby's comfort.

[0593] In addition, parents can input their actual behavior into the smartphone app as feedback, which is then sent back to the server. This feedback data is then used again as training data for the AI ​​model, improving its accuracy.

[0594] Specific examples

[0595] For example, suppose a baby starts crying in a physical store. The sensor device detects this crying and sends the data to the server. The server compares it with past data and determines that the baby is crying because it is hungry. It then generates a suggestion that says, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk," and sends a notification to the parent's smartphone. If the parent follows this suggestion and gives him some milk, the baby will calm down and stop crying. The parent can then provide feedback on this response, further improving the system's accuracy.

[0596] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0597] "An application that analyzes data on the crying, movements, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity of newborns and infants, and suggests the best way for parents to respond. For example, if a baby is crying because it is sleepy, the system will notify the parent, 'Your baby seems sleepy. Please hold him / her and try to calm him / her down.'"

[0598] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0599] Step 1:

[0600] The device detects the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. The input is real-time data from each sensor, which is processed and summarized within the device and then sent to the server. The output is a data packet sent to the server.

[0601] Step 2:

[0602] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it as time-series data. The input is the data packet sent from the device, which is stored in the database. The output is the data stored in the database.

[0603] Step 3:

[0604] The server analyzes the stored data using an artificial intelligence model to determine the baby's condition. During this process, data analysis algorithms using, for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch are executed. The input is time-series data stored in the database, which is used to analyze the baby's current condition and patterns. The output is a judgment result regarding the baby's condition.

[0605] Step 4:

[0606] The server generates an appropriate suggestion based on the analysis results. For example, if it determines that the reason the baby is crying is "sleepy," it generates the suggestion "The baby seems sleepy. Please hold him and calm him down." The input is the judgment result in step 3, and the output is the generated suggestion.

[0607] Step 5:

[0608] The server notifies the parent's smartphone of the generated suggestions. The input is the suggestion content, and the output is the notification sent to the parent's smartphone. This process uses a notification platform such as Firebase.

[0609] Step 6:

[0610] The user receives a notification on their smartphone and performs the suggested action. The input is the suggested notification displayed on the smartphone, and the output is the user's action. Specifically, the user responds according to the notification, such as holding the baby or feeding it.

[0611] Step 7:

[0612] The user inputs the results of their actual actions into the smartphone app as feedback. The input is the user's actions, which are sent to the server in an input format such as a form. The output is the feedback data sent to the server.

[0613] Step 8:

[0614] The server retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data sent by the user, which is integrated with the existing training data to update the model. The output is an AI model with improved accuracy.

[0615] The above are the specific processing steps for carrying out the invention.

[0616] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0617] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children, and aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and using that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[0618] Components

[0619] This system mainly consists of four components: the terminal, the server, the user's smartphone, and the emotion engine.

[0620] Terminal

[0621] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time.

[0622] server

[0623] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model, which learns the baby's sleep patterns and suggests optimal methods and environmental settings for putting the baby to sleep. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[0624] User's smartphone

[0625] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[0626] Emotion Engine

[0627] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will provide suggestions that are easier than usual or have a relaxing effect. The emotional information is also sent to the server as feedback data and used to train the artificial intelligence model.

[0628] Specific examples

[0629] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0630] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0631] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0632] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[0633] Emotion engine: Determines that the user's stress level is high and includes an additional suggestion to "play relaxing music."

[0634] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0635] User: The parent follows the suggestions to turn up the temperature and play music, and the baby wakes up less often.

[0636] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0637] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0638] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0639] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0640] Emotion engine: Recognizes the user's emotions and omits detailed advice on how to feed the baby if the emotional information is positive.

[0641] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0642] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0643] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, emotion recognition, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0644] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0645] Step 1:

[0646] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. This data is then sent to a server at intervals of one second.

[0647] Step 2:

[0648] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. It performs an initial analysis of the received data to check for normality and the presence of missing values.

[0649] Step 3:

[0650] The server's artificial intelligence model uses the pre-processed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns, including past data, and uses deep learning techniques to analyze the patterns and extract features.

[0651] Step 4:

[0652] The emotion engine receives data from the user's smartphone, such as the user's voice, facial expressions, and text input, and analyzes the user's emotions based on this data to identify their current emotional state.

[0653] Step 5:

[0654] The server combines the learned sleep patterns with emotional data from the emotion engine to suggest optimal sleep methods and environmental settings. For example, it generates specific actions such as setting the temperature in the baby's room to 22 degrees and playing calming music. If the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions are adjusted to be simpler and less burdensome.

[0655] Step 6:

[0656] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. If the baby starts crying or shows abnormal behavior, the device will quickly notify the parent based on the detected data. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize processing time lag.

[0657] Step 7:

[0658] The user performs the suggested actions on their smartphone and then inputs the results as feedback through the smartphone app, including the effect the action had on the baby and the user's own emotional state.

[0659] Step 8:

[0660] The server receives the feedback data and retrains the artificial intelligence model based on it, including new datasets to continually improve the accuracy of its suggestions.

[0661] Step 9:

[0662] The emotion engine again analyzes the user's emotional state and provides feedback to the server's learning process, allowing it to generate more effective suggestions that also take the user's emotional state into account.

[0663] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep, and by taking the user's emotions into consideration, it provides detailed and effective childcare support.

[0664] Example 2

[0665] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0666] In today's world, there is a need for effective systems to support baby sleep, but existing systems are unable to properly monitor the baby's condition or provide appropriate responses to parents' emotions and stress levels.To achieve healthy sleep for parents and children, reduce parenting stress, and increase positive parenting experiences, a system with more advanced data analysis and emotional feedback capabilities is needed.

[0667] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, a means for receiving and storing data transmitted from the terminal, a means for learning the baby's sleep patterns using an artificial intelligence model installed in the server and proposing optimal methods for putting the baby to sleep and environmental settings, a means for notifying the parent's smartphone of the suggestions from the server, a means for re-learning the artificial intelligence model using feedback data from the parent and improving model accuracy, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and adjusting the suggestions. This makes it possible to analyze the baby's condition and the parent's emotions in real time and make optimal suggestions based on the results.

[0668] The "terminal" is a device equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[0669] A "server" is a computing system that receives and stores data sent from a terminal, and analyzes and processes the data using artificial intelligence models.

[0672] "Environmental settings" refer to conditions such as room temperature, humidity, and lighting that are necessary to support a baby's sleep.

[0673] A "smartphone" is a mobile device that receives suggestions and allows parents to enter feedback.

[0674] "Feedback data" is information entered by parents as the results of their actions and their impressions regarding the suggestions.

[0675] An "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions.

[0676] "Adjusting suggestions" is the process by which the emotion engine appropriately changes the content of suggestions based on the user's emotions.

[0677] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children. In particular, it aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and utilizing that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep music, or giving the baby milk).

[0684] User's smartphone

[0685] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. If the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response.

In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as the "terminal."

[0877] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that learns the sleep patterns of newborns and infants and suggests optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. This system aims to support parents and children in achieving healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in child-rearing.

[0878] This system mainly consists of three components: the terminal, the server, and the user's smartphone.

[0879] Terminal

[0880] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect and transmit biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing patterns.

[0881] server

[0882] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it with a timestamp. This stored data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model and used to learn the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environmental settings for each individual baby. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[0883] User's smartphone

[0884] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[0885] Specific examples

[0886] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0887] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0888] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0889] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[0890] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0891] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[0892] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0893] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0894] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0895] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0896] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0897] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0898] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0899] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0900] Step 1:

[0901] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing pattern, etc. The collected data is then sent to a server at specific intervals (e.g., every second).

[0902] Step 2:

[0903] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability.

[0904] Step 3:

[0905] The server performs an initial analysis of the received data. At this stage, it performs exploratory data analysis (EDA) to check the data for normality and the presence of missing values. It also performs data cleaning and normalization as needed.

[0906] Step 4:

[0907] The server's AI model uses the initial analyzed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns. It analyzes past and new data using techniques such as deep learning to extract features (such as a tendency for the baby to cry at certain times of the day).

[0908] Step 5:

[0909] The server then suggests optimal sleep patterns and environmental settings based on the learned sleep patterns. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., setting the room temperature to 22 degrees, playing soft music, giving milk, etc.) and converts them into a data format that can be sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0910] Step 6:

[0911] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. When the baby exhibits certain behaviors (crying, rapid movements, etc.), it detects them and promptly notifies the parent based on the measured data and the latest suggestions from the server. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize the time lag in this process.

[0912] Step 7:

[0913] The user responds to the suggestions sent to their smartphone, such as gently patting the baby's back, playing music, or preparing milk.

[0914] Step 8:

[0915] Users input the results of their actions as feedback data through a smartphone app, and this feedback is sent to the server.

[0916] Step 9:

[0917] The server then retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data, improving the model's accuracy with a new dataset that includes the feedback data, and retrains it to improve the effectiveness of future suggestions.

[0918] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support to improve sleep for parents and babies and reduce parental burden.

[0919] Example 1

[0920] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0921] In today's childcare environment, it is difficult to accurately understand the sleep patterns of newborns and young children and recommend optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. Many parents are unable to detect their baby's crying or abnormalities in real time, which can delay appropriate responses. In addition, there is a lack of systems that effectively incorporate feedback to improve the accuracy of sleep pattern analysis. This can increase stress in childcare and have a negative impact on the health of both parents and children.

[0922] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0923] In this invention, the server includes a means for generating a prompt message suggesting a specific action based on the results of data analysis, a means for sending the prompt message to the user's smartphone, and a means including a smartphone application for inputting feedback on the suggestion made by the user. This makes it possible to accurately grasp a baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal measures in real time, thereby reducing stress in childcare and supporting the health of parents and children.

[0936] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0937] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that analyzes the sleep patterns of newborns and infants in real time and suggests optimal methods for putting them to sleep and environmental settings. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and the user's smartphone.

[0938] Terminal

[0939] The device is equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor) to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing pattern and send it with a timestamp.

[0940] server

[0941] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it in a cloud database (e.g., Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model implemented in Python (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch), which learns the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environment settings for each individual baby. These suggestions are formatted as prompts and sent to the user's smartphone.

[0942] User's smartphone

[0943] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time and displays them as notifications. The user then takes specific actions based on the suggestions and sends the results of their actions as feedback to the server via the smartphone application. This feedback is then used to improve the accuracy of the AI ​​model.

[0944] Specific examples

[0945] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[0946] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[0947] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[0948] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a prompt saying "The room temperature is low, please turn the heating up by one degree."

[0949] User's smartphone: The suggestion is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0950] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[0951] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[0952] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[0953] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[0954] Server: Generates the prompt "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0955] User's smartphone: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[0956] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[0957] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[0958] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0959] Step 1: Collect data

[0960] The device collects data using various sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. These sensors include an accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor. The collected data is time-stamped in real time and sent to a server via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The input is the sensor measurement data, and the output is a time-stamped data packet. For example, if the temperature in a baby's room is 21°C and the baby starts crying, the device will collect the temperature data and crying data from the microphone.

[0961] Step 2: Save your data

[0962] The server receives data sent from the device. The received data is stored as is in a cloud database (for example, Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The input is a time-stamped data packet, and the output is a data entry stored in the database. For example, the room temperature data of 21°C and the crying sound data are stored in the database.

[0963] Step 3: Analyze the data

[0964] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using an AI model implemented in Python (for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch). Here, the model learns the baby's sleep patterns and performs anomaly detection and pattern recognition. The input is the stored data entry, and the output is the analysis result. For example, the AI ​​model analyzes the baby's crying data and determines that the baby is hungry.

[0965] Step 4: Generate proposals

[0966] The server generates a prompt sentence based on the analysis result. The generated prompt sentence is sent to the user's smartphone. The input is the analysis result, and the output is the prompt sentence. For example, a generated prompt sentence might be "He might be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0967] Step 5: Proposal Notification

[0968] The user's smartphone receives the prompt sentence sent from the server in real time and displays it as a notification. The input is the prompt sentence, and the output is the smartphone notification. For example, the smartphone may display a notification saying, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[0969] Step 6: Implementing the proposal

[0970] The user performs the suggested action based on the notification from the smartphone. The input is the notification from the smartphone, and the output is the user's specific action, for example, the user feeding the baby.

[0971] Step 7: Provide feedback

[0972] The user inputs the results of their actions based on the suggestions as feedback through a smartphone application. The input is the result of the user's actions, and the output is feedback data. For example, the user might input, "After I gave the baby milk, the baby stopped crying."

[0973] Step 8: Saving feedback and improving the model

[0974] The server receives feedback data from users and stores it in a database. It then retrains the AI ​​model based on the feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved AI model. For example, it learns more about the crying patterns of babies when they are hungry.

[0975] Through this series of processing steps, the system can monitor the baby's environment and condition in real time and suggest optimal responses to parents.

[0976] (Application example 1)

[0977] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0978] Conventional baby monitors are designed for use at home and do not provide sufficient support for parents and babies when they are out and about or in a physical store. In particular, it is difficult for parents to immediately respond to their baby's comfort and behavior in a store, which can lead to problems such as parents shortening their shopping time if the baby is uncomfortable. The objective of this invention is to provide a more comfortable environment for parents and children by monitoring baby movements, crying, and environmental data in a physical store and proposing optimal responses in real time.

[0979] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0980] In this invention, the server includes a terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, a means for receiving and storing data transmitted from the terminal, a means for learning the baby's sleep patterns using an artificial intelligence model installed in the server and proposing optimal methods for putting the baby to sleep and environmental settings, a means for notifying the parent's smartphone of the suggestions from the server, a means for re-learning the artificial intelligence model using feedback data from the parent to improve model accuracy, and a means for monitoring the baby's movements, crying, and indoor environment with sensors installed in specific areas of the store and proposing appropriate responses to the parent in real time. This makes it possible to propose optimal environmental settings and actions to ensure the baby's comfort in the physical store.

[0981] "Movement" is data that detects changes in the position of the baby's entire body or parts of it.

[0982] "Crying" is data that collects the sounds made when a baby cries.

[0983] "Room temperature" is data indicating the temperature of the room where the baby is.

[0984] "Humidity" is data that indicates the amount of moisture in the air in the room where the baby is.

[0985] "Lighting intensity" is data that indicates the brightness of the room where the baby is.

[0986] The "sensors" are devices that detect baby movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[0987] A "terminal" is a device equipped with sensors that collects and transmits this data.

[0988] A "server" is a device that receives and stores data sent from a terminal.

[0989] An "artificial intelligence model" is software that contains algorithms that analyze and learn from collected data.

[0990] "Sleep patterns" are a collection of data that indicates the times and conditions during which a baby sleeps.

[0991] The "suggestion method" is a system that uses an artificial intelligence model to inform parents of the optimal way to put their baby to sleep and the optimal environment settings.

[0992] The "means of notification" is a mechanism that sends suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone.

[0993] "Feedback Data" is information provided by parents regarding actual outcomes of their responses.

[0994] A "low latency communication protocol" is a communication technology for quickly transmitting data in real time.

[0995] A "specific behavior" is a specific state or behavior exhibited by a baby.

[0996] A "specific area" refers to a specific location within a physical store where a baby is located.

[0997] "Environmental settings" are environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and lighting that are adjusted to take into account the baby's comfort.

[0998] "Response" refers to appropriate actions and measures taken by parents in response to the baby's condition and environment.

[0999] A "suggestion" is a specific action plan generated by the server to improve the baby's comfort.

[1000] This invention is a system that monitors baby movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, lighting intensity, etc. in a physical store to support a baby's comfortable stay. This system consists of the following elements.

[1001] Hardware Configuration

[1002] Terminal: A terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. This terminal is placed in a specific area where the baby is.

[1003] Server: Hardware that receives and stores data sent from sensor terminals and is equipped with an artificial intelligence model.

[1004] User's smartphone: This is the parent's smartphone, which is the device that receives suggestions from the server in real time.

[1005] Software Configuration

[1006] Data collection and management system: Software that collects data from sensors in real time and sends it to a server.

[1007] Artificial intelligence model: An algorithm installed on the server that learns and analyzes the baby's sleep patterns and comfort based on collected data. For example, TensorFlow or PyTorch is used.

[1008] Notification system: Software that sends server-generated suggestions to parents' smartphones. Notification platforms such as Firebase are used for this purpose.

[1009] User feedback system: This is an application that allows parents to input their responses to suggestions and send them back to the server.

[1010] Processing Description

[1011] First, sensor devices placed in specific areas where babies are present collect real-time environmental data, such as movement, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. This data is sent from the devices to a server and stored as time-series data. An artificial intelligence model installed on the server analyzes the collected data and suggests environmental settings for the baby's comfort and appropriate response actions.

[1012] Suggestions include, for example, "Your baby is crying, so please hold him / her" or "It's a little hot here, so please move to a cooler place." These suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone in real time, allowing the parent to take action based on the notification to improve the baby's comfort.

[1013] In addition, parents can input their actual behavior into the smartphone app as feedback, which is then sent back to the server. This feedback data is then used again as training data for the AI ​​model, improving its accuracy.

[1014] Specific examples

[1015] For example, suppose a baby starts crying in a physical store. The sensor device detects this crying and sends the data to the server. The server compares it with past data and determines that the baby is crying because it is hungry. It then generates a suggestion that says, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk," and sends a notification to the parent's smartphone. If the parent follows this suggestion and gives him some milk, the baby will calm down and stop crying. The parent can then provide feedback on this response, further improving the system's accuracy.

[1016] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1017] "An application that analyzes data on the crying, movements, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity of newborns and infants, and suggests the best way for parents to respond. For example, if a baby is crying because it is sleepy, the system will notify the parent, 'Your baby seems sleepy. Please hold him / her and try to calm him / her down.'"

[1018] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1019] Step 1:

[1020] The device detects the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. The input is real-time data from each sensor, which is processed and summarized within the device and then sent to the server. The output is a data packet sent to the server.

[1021] Step 2:

[1022] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it as time-series data. The input is the data packet sent from the device, which is stored in the database. The output is the data stored in the database.

[1023] Step 3:

[1024] The server analyzes the stored data using an artificial intelligence model to determine the baby's condition. During this process, data analysis algorithms using, for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch are executed. The input is time-series data stored in the database, which is used to analyze the baby's current condition and patterns. The output is a judgment result regarding the baby's condition.

[1025] Step 4:

[1026] The server generates an appropriate suggestion based on the analysis results. For example, if it determines that the reason the baby is crying is "sleepy," it generates the suggestion "The baby seems sleepy. Please hold him and calm him down." The input is the judgment result in step 3, and the output is the generated suggestion.

[1027] Step 5:

[1028] The server notifies the parent's smartphone of the generated suggestions. The input is the suggestion content, and the output is the notification sent to the parent's smartphone. This process uses a notification platform such as Firebase.

[1029] Step 6:

[1030] The user receives a notification on their smartphone and performs the suggested action. The input is the suggested notification displayed on the smartphone, and the output is the user's action. Specifically, the user responds according to the notification, such as holding the baby or feeding it.

[1031] Step 7:

[1032] The user inputs the results of their actual actions into the smartphone app as feedback. The input is the user's actions, which are sent to the server in an input format such as a form. The output is the feedback data sent to the server.

[1033] Step 8:

[1034] The server retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data sent by the user, which is integrated with the existing training data to update the model. The output is an AI model with improved accuracy.

[1035] The above are the specific processing steps for carrying out the invention.

[1036] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[1037] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children, and aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and using that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[1038] Components

[1039] This system mainly consists of four components: the terminal, the server, the user's smartphone, and the emotion engine.

[1040] Terminal

[1041] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time.

[1042] server

[1043] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model, which learns the baby's sleep patterns and suggests optimal methods and environmental settings for putting the baby to sleep. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[1044] User's smartphone

[1045] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[1046] Emotion Engine

[1047] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will provide suggestions that are easier than usual or have a relaxing effect. The emotional information is also sent to the server as feedback data and used to train the artificial intelligence model.

[1048] Specific examples

[1049] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[1050] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[1051] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[1052] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[1053] Emotion engine: Determines that the user's stress level is high and includes an additional suggestion to "play relaxing music."

[1054] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1055] User: The parent follows the suggestions to turn up the temperature and play music, and the baby wakes up less often.

[1056] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[1057] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[1058] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[1059] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1060] Emotion engine: Recognizes the user's emotions and omits detailed advice on how to feed the baby if the emotional information is positive.

[1061] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1062] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[1063] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, emotion recognition, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[1064] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1065] Step 1:

[1066] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. This data is then sent to a server at intervals of one second.

[1067] Step 2:

[1068] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. It performs an initial analysis of the received data to check for normality and the presence of missing values.

[1069] Step 3:

[1070] The server's artificial intelligence model uses the pre-processed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns, including past data, and uses deep learning techniques to analyze the patterns and extract features.

[1071] Step 4:

[1072] The emotion engine receives data from the user's smartphone, such as the user's voice, facial expressions, and text input, and analyzes the user's emotions based on this data to identify their current emotional state.

[1073] Step 5:

[1074] The server combines the learned sleep patterns with emotional data from the emotion engine to suggest optimal sleep methods and environmental settings. For example, it generates specific actions such as setting the temperature in the baby's room to 22 degrees and playing calming music. If the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions are adjusted to be simpler and less burdensome.

[1075] Step 6:

[1076] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. If the baby starts crying or shows abnormal behavior, the device will quickly notify the parent based on the detected data. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize processing time lag.

[1077] Step 7:

[1078] The user performs the suggested actions on their smartphone and then inputs the results as feedback through the smartphone app, including the effect the action had on the baby and the user's own emotional state.

[1079] Step 8:

[1080] The server receives the feedback data and retrains the artificial intelligence model based on it, including new datasets to continually improve the accuracy of its suggestions.

[1081] Step 9:

[1082] The emotion engine again analyzes the user's emotional state and provides feedback to the server's learning process, allowing it to generate more effective suggestions that also take the user's emotional state into account.

[1083] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep, and by taking the user's emotions into consideration, it provides detailed and effective childcare support.

[1084] Example 2

[1085] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1086] In today's world, there is a need for effective systems to support baby sleep, but existing systems are unable to properly monitor the baby's condition or provide appropriate responses to parents' emotions and stress levels.To achieve healthy sleep for parents and children, reduce parenting stress, and increase positive parenting experiences, a system with more advanced data analysis and emotional feedback capabilities is needed.

[1087] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, a means for receiving and storing data transmitted from the terminal, a means for learning the baby's sleep patterns using an artificial intelligence model installed in the server and proposing optimal methods for putting the baby to sleep and environmental settings, a means for notifying the parent's smartphone of the suggestions from the server, a means for re-learning the artificial intelligence model using feedback data from the parent and improving model accuracy, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and adjusting the suggestions. This makes it possible to analyze the baby's condition and the parent's emotions in real time and make optimal suggestions based on the results.

[1088] The "terminal" is a device equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[1089] A "server" is a computing system that receives and stores data sent from a terminal, and analyzes and processes the data using artificial intelligence models.

[1090] "Artificial intelligence model" refers to the machine learning algorithm used to learn a baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal methods and settings for putting the baby to sleep.

[1091] "Sleep patterns" refers to behavioral data and the analysis results that show a baby's sleep habits and tendencies.

[1092] "Environmental settings" refer to conditions such as room temperature, humidity, and lighting that are necessary to support a baby's sleep.

[1093] A "smartphone" is a mobile device that receives suggestions and allows parents to enter feedback.

[1094] "Feedback data" is information entered by parents as the results of their actions and their impressions regarding the suggestions.

[1095] An "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions.

[1096] "Adjusting suggestions" is the process by which the emotion engine appropriately changes the content of suggestions based on the user's emotions.

[1097] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children. In particular, it aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and utilizing that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[1098] Components

[1099] The system mainly consists of the following components: the terminal, the server, the user's smartphone, and the emotion engine.

[1100] Terminal

[1101] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. The device collects the baby's behavior and environmental data in real time and transmits it to a server via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing for a detailed understanding of the baby's current condition.

[1102] server

[1103] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database (e.g., Cassandra or MongoDB) to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed using an artificial intelligence model (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to learn the baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal ways to put the baby to sleep and environmental settings. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep music, or giving the baby milk).

[1104] User's smartphone

[1105] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. If the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[1106] Emotion Engine

[1107] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will provide simpler actions than usual or suggestions with a relaxing effect. Emotional information is also sent to the server as feedback data and used to train the artificial intelligence model.

These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[1304] User's smartphone

[1305] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[1306] Specific examples

[1307] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[1308] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[1309] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[1310] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[1311] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1312] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[1313] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[1314] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[1315] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[1316] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1317] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1318] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[1319] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[1320] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1321] Step 1:

[1322] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing pattern, etc. The collected data is then sent to a server at specific intervals (e.g., every second).

[1323] Step 2:

[1324] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability.

[1325] Step 3:

[1326] The server performs an initial analysis of the received data. At this stage, it performs exploratory data analysis (EDA) to check the data for normality and the presence of missing values. It also performs data cleaning and normalization as needed.

[1327] Step 4:

[1328] The server's AI model uses the initial analyzed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns. It analyzes past and new data using techniques such as deep learning to extract features (such as a tendency for the baby to cry at certain times of the day).

[1329] Step 5:

[1330] The server then suggests optimal sleep patterns and environmental settings based on the learned sleep patterns. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., setting the room temperature to 22 degrees, playing soft music, giving milk, etc.) and converts them into a data format that can be sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1331] Step 6:

[1332] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. When the baby exhibits certain behaviors (crying, rapid movements, etc.), it detects them and promptly notifies the parent based on the measured data and the latest suggestions from the server. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize the time lag in this process.

[1333] Step 7:

[1334] The user responds to the suggestions sent to their smartphone, such as gently patting the baby's back, playing music, or preparing milk.

[1335] Step 8:

[1336] Users input the results of their actions as feedback data through a smartphone app, and this feedback is sent to the server.

[1337] Step 9:

[1338] The server then retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data, improving the model's accuracy with a new dataset that includes the feedback data, and retrains it to improve the effectiveness of future suggestions.

[1339] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support to improve sleep for parents and babies and reduce parental burden.

[1340] Example 1

[1341] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1342] In today's childcare environment, it is difficult to accurately understand the sleep patterns of newborns and young children and recommend optimal methods and environments for putting them to sleep. Many parents are unable to detect their baby's crying or abnormalities in real time, which can delay appropriate responses. In addition, there is a lack of systems that effectively incorporate feedback to improve the accuracy of sleep pattern analysis. This can increase stress in childcare and have a negative impact on the health of both parents and children.

[1343] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[1344] In this invention, the server includes a means for generating a prompt message suggesting a specific action based on the results of data analysis, a means for sending the prompt message to the user's smartphone, and a means including a smartphone application for inputting feedback on the suggestion made by the user. This makes it possible to accurately grasp a baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal measures in real time, thereby reducing stress in childcare and supporting the health of parents and children.

[1357] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[1358] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system that analyzes the sleep patterns of newborns and infants in real time and suggests optimal methods for putting them to sleep and environmental settings. The system is composed of a terminal, a server, and the user's smartphone.

[1359] Terminal

[1360] The device is equipped with various sensors (e.g., accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor) to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time. The device also has the ability to collect biometric data such as the baby's heart rate and breathing pattern and send it with a timestamp.

[1361] server

[1362] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it in a cloud database (e.g., Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model implemented in Python (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch), which learns the baby's sleep patterns. The server compares past data with new data and suggests optimal sleep methods and environment settings for each individual baby. These suggestions are formatted as prompts and sent to the user's smartphone.

[1363] User's smartphone

[1364] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time and displays them as notifications. The user then takes specific actions based on the suggestions and sends the results of their actions as feedback to the server via the smartphone application. This feedback is then used to improve the accuracy of the AI ​​model.

[1365] Specific examples

[1366] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[1367] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[1368] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[1369] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a prompt saying "The room temperature is low, please turn the heating up by one degree."

[1370] User's smartphone: The suggestion is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1371] User: The parent increases the temperature as suggested and the baby wakes up less often.

[1372] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[1373] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[1374] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[1375] Server: Generates the prompt "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1376] User's smartphone: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1377] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[1378] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support to help parents and children achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[1379] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1380] Step 1: Collect data

[1381] The device collects data using various sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. These sensors include an accelerometer, microphone, temperature and humidity sensor, and light sensor. The collected data is time-stamped in real time and sent to a server via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The input is the sensor measurement data, and the output is a time-stamped data packet. For example, if the temperature in a baby's room is 21°C and the baby starts crying, the device will collect the temperature data and crying data from the microphone.

[1382] Step 2: Save your data

[1383] The server receives data sent from the device. The received data is stored as is in a cloud database (for example, Amazon RDS or Google Cloud Firestore). The input is a time-stamped data packet, and the output is a data entry stored in the database. For example, the room temperature data of 21°C and the crying sound data are stored in the database.

[1384] Step 3: Analyze the data

[1385] The server analyzes the information stored in the database using an AI model implemented in Python (for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch). Here, the model learns the baby's sleep patterns and performs anomaly detection and pattern recognition. The input is the stored data entry, and the output is the analysis result. For example, the AI ​​model analyzes the baby's crying data and determines that the baby is hungry.

[1386] Step 4: Generate proposals

[1387] The server generates a prompt sentence based on the analysis result. The generated prompt sentence is sent to the user's smartphone. The input is the analysis result, and the output is the prompt sentence. For example, a generated prompt sentence might be "He might be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1388] Step 5: Proposal Notification

[1389] The user's smartphone receives the prompt sentence sent from the server in real time and displays it as a notification. The input is the prompt sentence, and the output is the smartphone notification. For example, the smartphone may display a notification saying, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1390] Step 6: Implementing the proposal

[1391] The user performs the suggested action based on the notification from the smartphone. The input is the notification from the smartphone, and the output is the user's specific action, for example, the user feeding the baby.

[1392] Step 7: Provide feedback

[1393] The user inputs the results of their actions based on the suggestions as feedback through a smartphone application. The input is the result of the user's actions, and the output is feedback data. For example, the user might input, "After I gave the baby milk, the baby stopped crying."

[1394] Step 8: Saving feedback and improving the model

[1395] The server receives feedback data from users and stores it in a database. It then retrains the AI ​​model based on the feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data, and the output is an improved AI model. For example, it learns more about the crying patterns of babies when they are hungry.

[1396] Through this series of processing steps, the system can monitor the baby's environment and condition in real time and suggest optimal responses to parents.

[1397] (Application example 1)

[1398] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1399] Conventional baby monitors are designed for use at home and do not provide sufficient support for parents and babies when they are out and about or in a physical store. In particular, it is difficult for parents to immediately respond to their baby's comfort and behavior in a store, which can lead to problems such as parents shortening their shopping time if the baby is uncomfortable. The objective of this invention is to provide a more comfortable environment for parents and children by monitoring baby movements, crying, and environmental data in a physical store and proposing optimal responses in real time.

[1400] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[1401] In this invention, the server includes a terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, a means for receiving and storing data transmitted from the terminal, a means for learning the baby's sleep patterns using an artificial intelligence model installed in the server and proposing optimal methods for putting the baby to sleep and environmental settings, a means for notifying the parent's smartphone of the suggestions from the server, a means for re-learning the artificial intelligence model using feedback data from the parent to improve model accuracy, and a means for monitoring the baby's movements, crying, and indoor environment with sensors installed in specific areas of the store and proposing appropriate responses to the parent in real time. This makes it possible to propose optimal environmental settings and actions to ensure the baby's comfort in the physical store.

[1402] "Movement" is data that detects changes in the position of the baby's entire body or parts of it.

[1403] "Crying" is data that collects the sounds made when a baby cries.

[1404] "Room temperature" is data indicating the temperature of the room where the baby is.

[1405] "Humidity" is data that indicates the amount of moisture in the air in the room where the baby is.

[1406] "Lighting intensity" is data that indicates the brightness of the room where the baby is.

[1407] The "sensors" are devices that detect baby movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[1408] A "terminal" is a device equipped with sensors that collects and transmits this data.

[1409] A "server" is a device that receives and stores data sent from a terminal.

[1410] An "artificial intelligence model" is software that contains algorithms that analyze and learn from collected data.

[1411] "Sleep patterns" are a collection of data that indicates the times and conditions during which a baby sleeps.

[1412] The "suggestion method" is a system that uses an artificial intelligence model to inform parents of the optimal way to put their baby to sleep and the optimal environment settings.

[1413] The "means of notification" is a mechanism that sends suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone.

[1414] "Feedback Data" is information provided by parents regarding actual outcomes of their responses.

[1415] A "low latency communication protocol" is a communication technology for quickly transmitting data in real time.

[1416] A "specific behavior" is a specific state or behavior exhibited by a baby.

[1417] A "specific area" refers to a specific location within a physical store where a baby is located.

[1418] "Environmental settings" are environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and lighting that are adjusted to take into account the baby's comfort.

[1419] "Response" refers to appropriate actions and measures taken by parents in response to the baby's condition and environment.

[1420] A "suggestion" is a specific action plan generated by the server to improve the baby's comfort.

[1421] This invention is a system that monitors baby movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, lighting intensity, etc. in a physical store to support a baby's comfortable stay. This system consists of the following elements.

[1422] Hardware Configuration

[1423] Terminal: A terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and light intensity. This terminal is placed in a specific area where the baby is.

[1424] Server: Hardware that receives and stores data sent from sensor terminals and is equipped with an artificial intelligence model.

[1425] User's smartphone: This is the parent's smartphone, which is the device that receives suggestions from the server in real time.

[1426] Software Configuration

[1427] Data collection and management system: Software that collects data from sensors in real time and sends it to a server.

[1428] Artificial intelligence model: An algorithm installed on the server that learns and analyzes the baby's sleep patterns and comfort based on collected data. For example, TensorFlow or PyTorch is used.

[1429] Notification system: Software that sends server-generated suggestions to parents' smartphones. Notification platforms such as Firebase are used for this purpose.

[1430] User feedback system: This is an application that allows parents to input their responses to suggestions and send them back to the server.

[1431] Processing Description

[1432] First, sensor devices placed in specific areas where babies are present collect real-time environmental data, such as movement, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. This data is sent from the devices to a server and stored as time-series data. An artificial intelligence model installed on the server analyzes the collected data and suggests environmental settings for the baby's comfort and appropriate response actions.

[1433] Suggestions include, for example, "Your baby is crying, so please hold him / her" or "It's a little hot here, so please move to a cooler place." These suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone in real time, allowing the parent to take action based on the notification to improve the baby's comfort.

[1434] In addition, parents can input their actual behavior into the smartphone app as feedback, which is then sent back to the server. This feedback data is then used again as training data for the AI ​​model, improving its accuracy.

[1435] Specific examples

[1436] For example, suppose a baby starts crying in a physical store. The sensor device detects this crying and sends the data to the server. The server compares it with past data and determines that the baby is crying because it is hungry. It then generates a suggestion that says, "The baby may be hungry. Please give him some milk," and sends a notification to the parent's smartphone. If the parent follows this suggestion and gives him some milk, the baby will calm down and stop crying. The parent can then provide feedback on this response, further improving the system's accuracy.

[1437] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1438] "An application that analyzes data on the crying, movements, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity of newborns and infants, and suggests the best way for parents to respond. For example, if a baby is crying because it is sleepy, the system will notify the parent, 'Your baby seems sleepy. Please hold him / her and try to calm him / her down.'"

[1439] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1440] Step 1:

[1441] The device detects the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity. The input is real-time data from each sensor, which is processed and summarized within the device and then sent to the server. The output is a data packet sent to the server.

[1442] Step 2:

[1443] The server receives data sent from the device and stores it as time-series data. The input is the data packet sent from the device, which is stored in the database. The output is the data stored in the database.

[1444] Step 3:

[1445] The server analyzes the stored data using an artificial intelligence model to determine the baby's condition. During this process, data analysis algorithms using, for example, TensorFlow or PyTorch are executed. The input is time-series data stored in the database, which is used to analyze the baby's current condition and patterns. The output is a judgment result regarding the baby's condition.

[1446] Step 4:

[1447] The server generates an appropriate suggestion based on the analysis results. For example, if it determines that the reason the baby is crying is "sleepy," it generates the suggestion "The baby seems sleepy. Please hold him and calm him down." The input is the judgment result in step 3, and the output is the generated suggestion.

[1448] Step 5:

[1449] The server notifies the parent's smartphone of the generated suggestions. The input is the suggestion content, and the output is the notification sent to the parent's smartphone. This process uses a notification platform such as Firebase.

[1450] Step 6:

[1451] The user receives a notification on their smartphone and performs the suggested action. The input is the suggested notification displayed on the smartphone, and the output is the user's action. Specifically, the user responds according to the notification, such as holding the baby or feeding it.

[1452] Step 7:

[1453] The user inputs the results of their actual actions into the smartphone app as feedback. The input is the user's actions, which are sent to the server in an input format such as a form. The output is the feedback data sent to the server.

[1454] Step 8:

[1455] The server retrains the AI ​​model using the received feedback data to improve the model's accuracy. The input is the feedback data sent by the user, which is integrated with the existing training data to update the model. The output is an AI model with improved accuracy.

[1456] The above are the specific processing steps for carrying out the invention.

[1457] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[1458] The present invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children, and aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and using that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[1459] Components

[1460] This system mainly consists of four components: the terminal, the server, the user's smartphone, and the emotion engine.

[1461] Terminal

[1462] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time.

[1463] server

[1464] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed by an artificial intelligence model, which learns the baby's sleep patterns and suggests optimal methods and environmental settings for putting the baby to sleep. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep-inducing music, or giving the baby milk).

[1465] User's smartphone

[1466] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. When the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[1467] Emotion Engine

[1468] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will provide suggestions that are easier than usual or have a relaxing effect. The emotional information is also sent to the server as feedback data and used to train the artificial intelligence model.

[1469] Specific examples

[1470] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[1471] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[1472] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[1473] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[1474] Emotion engine: Determines that the user's stress level is high and includes an additional suggestion to "play relaxing music."

[1475] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1476] User: The parent follows the suggestions to turn up the temperature and play music, and the baby wakes up less often.

[1477] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[1478] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[1479] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[1480] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1481] Emotion engine: Recognizes the user's emotions and omits detailed advice on how to feed the baby if the emotional information is positive.

[1482] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1483] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[1484] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, emotion recognition, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[1485] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1486] Step 1:

[1487] The device uses sensors to detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. This data is then sent to a server at intervals of one second.

[1488] Step 2:

[1489] The server receives data sent from the terminal in real time, timestamps it, and stores it in a database. It performs an initial analysis of the received data to check for normality and the presence of missing values.

[1490] Step 3:

[1491] The server's artificial intelligence model uses the pre-processed data to learn the baby's sleep patterns, including past data, and uses deep learning techniques to analyze the patterns and extract features.

[1492] Step 4:

[1493] The emotion engine receives data from the user's smartphone, such as the user's voice, facial expressions, and text input, and analyzes the user's emotions based on this data to identify their current emotional state.

[1494] Step 5:

[1495] The server combines the learned sleep patterns with emotional data from the emotion engine to suggest optimal sleep methods and environmental settings. For example, it generates specific actions such as setting the temperature in the baby's room to 22 degrees and playing calming music. If the user is feeling stressed, the suggestions are adjusted to be simpler and less burdensome.

[1496] Step 6:

[1497] The device sends real-time suggestions from the server to the parent's smartphone. If the baby starts crying or shows abnormal behavior, the device will quickly notify the parent based on the detected data. A low-latency communication protocol is used to minimize processing time lag.

[1498] Step 7:

[1499] The user performs the suggested actions on their smartphone and then inputs the results as feedback through the smartphone app, including the effect the action had on the baby and the user's own emotional state.

[1500] Step 8:

[1501] The server receives the feedback data and retrains the artificial intelligence model based on it, including new datasets to continually improve the accuracy of its suggestions.

[1502] Step 9:

[1503] The emotion engine again analyzes the user's emotional state and provides feedback to the server's learning process, allowing it to generate more effective suggestions that also take the user's emotional state into account.

[1504] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep, and by taking the user's emotions into consideration, it provides detailed and effective childcare support.

[1505] Example 2

[1506] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[1507] In today's world, there is a need for effective systems to support baby sleep, but existing systems are unable to properly monitor the baby's condition or provide appropriate responses to parents' emotions and stress levels.To achieve healthy sleep for parents and children, reduce parenting stress, and increase positive parenting experiences, a system with more advanced data analysis and emotional feedback capabilities is needed.

[1508] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a terminal equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, a means for receiving and storing data transmitted from the terminal, a means for learning the baby's sleep patterns using an artificial intelligence model installed in the server and proposing optimal methods for putting the baby to sleep and environmental settings, a means for notifying the parent's smartphone of the suggestions from the server, a means for re-learning the artificial intelligence model using feedback data from the parent and improving model accuracy, and a means for analyzing the user's emotions and adjusting the suggestions. This makes it possible to analyze the baby's condition and the parent's emotions in real time and make optimal suggestions based on the results.

[1509] The "terminal" is a device equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

[1510] A "server" is a computing system that receives and stores data sent from a terminal, and analyzes and processes the data using artificial intelligence models.

[1511] "Artificial intelligence model" refers to the machine learning algorithm used to learn a baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal methods and settings for putting the baby to sleep.

[1512] "Sleep patterns" refers to behavioral data and the analysis results that show a baby's sleep habits and tendencies.

[1513] "Environmental settings" refer to conditions such as room temperature, humidity, and lighting that are necessary to support a baby's sleep.

[1514] A "smartphone" is a mobile device that receives suggestions and allows parents to enter feedback.

[1515] "Feedback data" is information entered by parents as the results of their actions and their impressions regarding the suggestions.

[1516] An "emotion engine" is a system that analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions.

[1517] "Adjusting suggestions" is the process by which the emotion engine appropriately changes the content of suggestions based on the user's emotions.

[1518] This invention relates to a smart baby monitor system for supporting the sleep of newborns and young children. In particular, it aims to provide more effective suggestions by recognizing the user's emotions and utilizing that feedback. This system provides support for parents and children to achieve healthy sleep, reducing stress and increasing positive experiences in childcare.

[1519] Components

[1520] The system mainly consists of the following components: the terminal, the server, the user's smartphone, and the emotion engine.

[1521] Terminal

[1522] The device is equipped with sensors that detect the baby's movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, light intensity, heart rate, breathing patterns, etc. The device collects the baby's behavior and environmental data in real time and transmits it to a server via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing for a detailed understanding of the baby's current condition.

[1523] server

[1524] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database (e.g., Cassandra or MongoDB) to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed using an artificial intelligence model (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch) to learn the baby's sleep patterns and suggest optimal ways to put the baby to sleep and environmental settings. These suggestions include specific actions (e.g., adjusting the room temperature, playing sleep music, or giving the baby milk).

[1525] User's smartphone

[1526] The user's smartphone receives suggestions from the server in real time. If the baby exhibits a specific behavior, a notification from the server is sent to the smartphone, suggesting an appropriate response. The user also inputs the results of their actions in response to the suggestions as feedback through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[1527] Emotion Engine

[1528] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will provide simpler actions than usual or suggestions with a relaxing effect. Emotional information is also sent to the server as feedback data and used to train the artificial intelligence model.

[1529] Specific examples

[1530] Example 1: Analysis and suggestions for general sleep patterns

[1531] Device: Detects when your baby wakes up frequently during the night.

[1532] Server: Compares with past data and finds that the individual is waking up more often than usual. This is considered abnormal.

[1533] Server: Notices that the temperature is below normal and generates a suggestion to increase the room temperature by 1 degree.

[1534] Emotion engine: Determines that the user's stress level is high and includes an additional suggestion to "play relaxing music."

[1535] Device: Suggestions are sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1536] User: The parent follows the suggestions to turn up the temperature and play music, and the baby wakes up less often.

[1537] Example 2: Real-time cry analysis and advice

[1538] Device: Detects when a baby starts crying.

[1539] Server: Analyzes the crying data and identifies "hunger" trends from past data.

[1540] Server: Generates the advice "Maybe he's hungry. Please give him some milk."

[1541] Emotion engine: Recognizes the user's emotions and omits detailed advice on how to feed the baby if the emotional information is positive.

[1542] Device: Advice is sent to the parent's smartphone.

[1543] User: The parent feeds the baby, and then the baby stops crying.

[1544] Prompt Sentence Examples

[1545] Below is an example of an input prompt sentence for the generative AI model.

[1546] "Generate an algorithm that analyzes baby crying data to determine whether or not a baby is hungry."

[1547] "Create a program that analyzes your baby's sleep patterns and suggests the best way to get them to sleep."

[1548] "How can I analyze user sentiment and tailor my suggestions?"

[1549] In this way, through the process of data collection, analysis, suggestion generation, real-time notifications, emotion recognition, and feedback collection, the system provides comprehensive support for parents and children to achieve safe and healthy sleep.

[1622] This invention is a smart baby monitor and security system for the purpose of managing baby health and improving home security. This system uses the hardware and software shown below and is composed of a device connected to various sensors, a server that receives and analyzes data, and a user's smartphone that receives notifications.

[1623] Components

[1624] Terminal

[1625] The device is equipped with sensors that detect baby movements, crying, room temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity, as well as suspicious movements and sounds within the home. The data collected from these sensors is sent to a server in real time.

[1626] server

[1627] The server receives data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a database with a timestamp. This storage process uses a distributed database to ensure data redundancy and increase reliability. The received data is analyzed using artificial intelligence models such as TensorFlow and Keras to learn the baby's sleep patterns and the home situation. This information is used to generate optimal sleep methods, environmental settings, and home security recommendations.

[1628] User's smartphone

[1629] The user's smartphone receives suggestions and warnings from the server in real time. If the baby exhibits a specific behavior or if suspicious movements or sounds are detected in the home, a notification is sent from the server to the smartphone, suggesting appropriate responses. The user also inputs feedback about the results of their actions and their thoughts on the suggestions through the smartphone app. This feedback is sent back to the server and used to improve the accuracy of the artificial intelligence model.

[1630] Emotion Engine

[1631] The emotion engine analyzes the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc. to recognize the user's emotions. This emotional information is used to adjust the content of suggestions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, it will recommend suggestions that will have a relaxing effect or simple actions.

[1701] Through these steps, the system provides comprehensive support for baby health management and home security, providing a safe and secure environment for parents.

[1702] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[1703] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1704] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.

[1705] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[1706] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[1707] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[1708] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[1709] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[1710] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[1711] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.

[1712] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).

[1713] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.

[1714] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[1715] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[1716] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

[1717] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of a processor is a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[1718] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be a single processor.

[1719] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[1720] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
