Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robotics, and more particularly to an intelligent robot and a working method thereof that can help reduce long-term sitting through behavioral interaction. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the development of science and technology, the average time of computer use is increasing. Busy work has led to more people's sedentary lifestyle. Sitting for a long time is very harmful to people and affects their health. Intermittent activities are a way to solve the problem of sitting for a long time and minimize the harm caused by long-term sitting work to the human body. Therefore, people should establish good living habits in their daily work, life and study, be more active, drink more water, reduce sitting time, increase the number of physical activities, and develop a healthy work and lifestyle and good work habits.

[0003] However, in daily work and study, people are often so busy with so many tasks that they devote themselves to the intense work and study that they often forget to drink water and get up and move around.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve sedentary reminders, promote intermittent activities and drinking water, and reduce the physical harm caused by sitting for a long time is an urgent problem that technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an intelligent robot that helps reduce sedentary time through behavioral interaction. The robot sets a reminder time and measures the user's sedentary time by aiming at the monitored user. When the measured time is less than the reminder time, the user moves the water cup in the intelligent robot to drink water or does substantial exercise, and the timing restarts. If the measured time is greater than or equal to the reminder time and its integer multiples, and less than 90 minutes, the intelligent robot moves away from the user and plays negative feedback music information to remind the user to get up and move around. If the measured time is greater than or equal to 90 minutes, the intelligent robot enters a rampage mode, and the rampage can only be stopped when the user picks up the water cup, thereby achieving the purpose of urging the user to move or drink water, and cultivating the user's habit of intermittent activities and drinking more water.

[0018] Preferably, the intelligent robot has a motion reminder mode and a rampage mode. When the timing time reaches the set reminder time, the intelligent robot starts the motion reminder mode and performs a distance movement to attract the user's attention. The distance of distance is the set distance. When the PIR pyroinfrared sensor detects that the user stands up or the force sensor detects that the water bottle is picked up, the intelligent robot is controlled to move back to its original position through positive feedback, and the timing time is reset at the same time. Positive feedback music is played through the speaker and rhythmic operation is performed with the positive feedback music to encourage the user to move or drink water.

[0025] Step 3: If the force sensor in the intelligent robot detects the weight of the water bottle, the timing starts, and the PIR pyroelectric infrared sensor in the Fresnel lens recognizes the user behavior; otherwise, the intelligent robot remains stationary and does not work;

[0026] Step 4: The user behavior is transmitted to the controller in the intelligent robot. When the timing time does not reach the reminder time, if it is determined that the user behavior has a large movement, the controller generates a positive feedback signal, controls the timing time to be reset, plays positive feedback sound information through the speaker, and performs rhythmic movement accompanied by the positive feedback sound information; otherwise, the timing continues;

[0027] Step 5: When the timing time reaches the reminder time, the controller drives the reduction motor to control the driving wheel to rotate, and controls the intelligent robot to enter the motion reminder mode;

[0028] Step 6: The intelligent robot moves at a set distance. If the force sensor detects that the water bottle is picked up, the intelligent robot returns to its original position. If the force sensor detects that the water bottle is put back and the mass is reduced, it is determined that the user has completed the drinking action. The controller generates the positive feedback signal, controls the timing time to be reset, controls the speaker to play the positive feedback sound information, and performs rhythmic movements with the positive feedback sound information. If the user has a large movement, the intelligent robot returns to its original position, the controller generates the positive feedback signal, controls the timing time to be reset, controls the speaker to play the positive feedback sound information, and performs rhythmic movements with the positive feedback sound information. Otherwise, the intelligent robot continues to move at the set distance, and plays negative feedback music through the speaker, and the timing continues.

[0029] Step 7: When the timing time is equal to an integral multiple of the reminder time and is less than the maximum reminder time, the process proceeds to step 6; when the timing time exceeds 90 minutes, the intelligent robot enters the rampage mode;

[0030] Step 8: When the intelligent robot in the rampage mode detects that the water bottle is picked up, the intelligent robot returns to its original position; otherwise, the intelligent robot maintains the rampage mode;

[0031] Step 9: If the water bottle is picked up for more than 10 minutes, or the button is pressed for more than 3 seconds, the intelligent robot shuts down.

[0065] A method for an intelligent robot to help reduce long periods of sitting through behavioral interaction, the specific process is as follows:

[0066] S1: Turn on the device by pressing button 221 and select a reminder time by pressing button 221;

[0068] S3: If the force sensor in the intelligent robot detects the weight of the water bottle, the timing starts, and the PIR pyroelectric infrared sensor 6 in the Fresnel lens 24 recognizes the user behavior; otherwise, the intelligent robot remains stationary and does not work;

[0069] S4: The user behavior is transmitted to the controller in the intelligent robot. If the user behavior is judged to have a large movement before the reminder time is reached, the controller generates a positive feedback signal, controls the timing time to be reset, plays the positive feedback sound information through the speaker, and performs rhythmic movement accompanied by the positive feedback sound information; otherwise, the timing continues;

[0070] S5: When the timing reaches the reminder time, the controller drives the reduction motor 43, thereby controlling the driving wheel 41 to rotate, and controlling the intelligent robot to enter the motion reminder mode;

[0071] S6: The intelligent robot moves at a set distance. If the force sensor detects that the water bottle is picked up, the intelligent robot returns to its position. If the force sensor detects that the water bottle is put back and the mass is reduced, it is determined that the user has completed the drinking action, and the controller generates a positive feedback signal, controls the timing time to be reset, controls the speaker to play positive feedback sound information, and performs rhythmic movement with the positive feedback sound information; or if the user has the above-mentioned large movement, the intelligent robot returns to its position, the controller generates a positive feedback signal, controls the timing time to be reset, controls the speaker to play positive feedback sound information, and performs rhythmic movement with the positive feedback sound information; otherwise, the intelligent robot continues to move at the set distance, and plays negative feedback music through the speaker to remind the user to exercise or drink water, and the timing continues;

[0074] S9: If the water bottle is not picked up for more than 10 minutes, or the button is pressed for a long time, the smart robot will shut down.

[0075] Example

[0076] The present invention receives the weight of a water cup (or water bottle) through an FSR (force sensor) to activate a PIR pyro infrared sensor 6, determines whether a user has been sitting for a long time through the PIR pyro infrared sensor 6, calculates the user's sitting time through a program in a controller on a circuit board 5, and controls the robot to automatically move after the user has been sitting for a period of time through the program to attract the user's attention and remind the time, receives user behavior through the PIR pyro infrared sensor 6 and the FSR (force sensor), specifically, receives whether the user is active, the activity amplitude and the activity time through the PIR pyro infrared sensor 6, and receives whether the user drinks water through the FSR (force sensor), if the activity time is sufficient or it is determined that the user drinks water, positive feedback, i.e., movement returns to the original position, the timing time is reset, positive feedback music is played, and rhythmic movement is performed with the positive feedback music, etc. to encourage the user's activity or drinking water; otherwise, negative feedback is performed, and the negative feedback can be movement, negative feedback music, etc. If the user sits for a long time, the intelligent robot will enter a rampage mode, and the rampage mode can oppose sedentary behavior through random movement, vibration, noise, and flashing of the display screen 3. The controller on the circuit board 5 uses an algorithm to ensure that the hemispherical Fresnel lens 24 is aimed at the user when the intelligent robot stops moving (except for the rampage mode), and controls the robot to move on the plane according to the program through the motor, infrared transmitter and receiver, and to perform obstacle avoidance and anti-falling actions, while controlling the melody played by the speaker, the vibration of the vibration motor, and the color change and flashing of the display screen 3. The intelligent robot encourages users to move or drink water through the above settings, so as to reduce sedentary time and change the habit of sedentary.

[0077] The intelligent robot can also act as a cup holder, on which a cup (or water bottle) can be placed. By pressing the guardrail 11 vertically, it will be snapped onto the inner wall of the shell to lock the guardrail 11 for easy carrying. When the button 25 on the outer wall of the shell is pressed, since the guardrail 11 and the mounting seat 12 are connected with a total of 4 springs 13, which are evenly distributed in the four columnar spring grooves 121 of the mounting seat, the 4 springs 13 are connected together to the foot column 113 of the guardrail 11. The guardrail 11 will bounce up to a certain height due to the elastic force of the springs 13, and the corresponding heights of the inner wall of the shell are respectively provided with card slots 23 for locking, corresponding to the protrusions on the outside of the guardrail 11, and the guardrail 11 is fixed at a position of a certain bounce height, thereby realizing the conversion of the two heights of the guardrail 11. When the guardrail 11 is raised, it is convenient to place the cup (or water bottle) and it is not easy to tilt and spill.

[0078] The intelligent robot has a built-in rechargeable battery, which is fixedly mounted on the circuit board 5, and a microUSB interface is provided on the circuit board 5. The microUSB interface passes through the side wall of the shell. When the power is low, the rechargeable battery is charged by connecting the microUSB interface through a USB data cable.

[0079] The specific implementation process of the intelligent robot sedentary reminder is as follows:

[0080] (1) The user presses the button on the bottom of the intelligent robot to select the time interval for reminder, puts it on the table and points the PIR pyro infrared sensor 6 and the hemispherical Fresnel lens 24 at himself, puts a cup (or bottle) into the guardrail 11, and the FSR (force sensor) receives the weight to activate the PIR pyro infrared sensor 6, and starts to identify whether the user is working or studying, that is, sitting still, and then starts timing. Therefore, when the user wants to concentrate for a period of time, he only needs to take out the cup (or bottle), and the intelligent robot will keep the timing still.

[0081] (2) The display screen 3 on the outer ring of the Fresnel lens will display the sitting time. The front view of the display screen 3 is a ring. The length of the arc of the ring display screen 3 indicates the sitting time. For example, when one-sixth of the ring display screen 3 is lit, it means that the sitting time has reached 15 minutes, and when half of the ring is lit, it means that the sitting time has reached 45 minutes. When the sitting time is within the time you want to be reminded, if the intelligent robot detects that the user is moving or drinking water, the sitting time will be reset, and positive feedback music will be played and rhythmic movements will be performed with the positive feedback music. When the time the user wants to be reminded is reached, the intelligent robot will automatically move away from the user. At this time, the user will notice its movement and know that he has been sitting for a while. At this time, the user can choose to get up and move for a while, stretch his body, pick up the water cup (or water bottle) in the intelligent robot to drink water, or ignore it.

[0082] (3) If the user takes the first two options, the intelligent robot will give positive feedback. If the user takes the third option, the intelligent robot will give negative feedback. When the sitting time is within 90 minutes and reaches an integer multiple of the desired reminder time, the intelligent robot will repeat the action and judgment when the desired reminder time is reached in (2). When the sitting time reaches 90 minutes, the intelligent robot will enter the rampage mode, and the rampage can only be stopped by picking up the water cup (or water bottle). In this way, the user will move or drink water from time to time, and drinking too much water will unconsciously go to the toilet, which also increases the activity.

[0083] In summary, the present invention helps people reduce sedentary time, increase intermittent activities, move from time to time, develop a healthy work and lifestyle, and encourage timely water intake by making users pay attention to the sedentary time and the water cup (or water bottle) placed on it, and encourages them to move more, drink water, and oppose sitting through positive and negative feedback.
