[0231] In this embodiment, the relationship between the robot, the cloud platform, and the application APP

[0232] like Fig.37 As shown, the intelligent robot in this embodiment is an intelligent terminal with voice input and voice+expression+action output.

[0233] The robot, application APP, and cloud platform are interconnected. After the background data exchange is completed, the information setting is mainly completed on the application APP of the mobile terminal. With the cloud platform as the information transfer center, the application setting information is synchronized with the cloud platform, and then sent to the intelligent robot by the cloud platform. Similarly, the intelligent robot will feedback the user interaction information to the cloud platform, and then the cloud platform will synchronize it to the application. The intelligent robot needs to access the network through Bluetooth and set up on the application side.

[0234] 2. Medication reminder broadcast

[0235] The intelligent robot's medication information is set on the application APP, and instructions are sent to the intelligent robot through the cloud platform. When the intelligent robot reaches the medication time, it will announce the name of the medicine by voice to remind the user to take the medicine on time and in the right amount. The user will give feedback through voice whether to take the medicine and stop the voice announcement.

[0236] The intelligent robot only has the function of timing reminder and has no judgment function to prevent misleading users.

[0237] Steps such as Fig.33 As shown:

[0238] 1) The user sets medication information on the APP and synchronizes it to the cloud platform;

[0239] 2) The cloud platform issues instructions to inform the intelligent robot of the time and medication information to be broadcasted for each medication reminder set by the user;

[0240] 3) The intelligent robot determines the arrival time of medication based on the pre-stored medication time and system time calibration;

[0241] 4) The intelligent robot broadcasts medication information, i.e. medication reminders, drug names, and dosages; at the same time, the intelligent robot locally triggers the screen to display medication reminder expressions, and the robot performs medication reminder supporting actions;

[0242] 5) Play the medication reminder voice according to the preset number of repetitions and time intervals, turn off the screen after the broadcast, and wait for the user to feedback medication information;

[0243] Case 1: Taking medicine on time, the user informs the intelligent robot by voice

[0244] 6) The user has taken the medicine on time, and the intelligent robot is informed by voice

[0245] 7) Intelligent robot triggers "take medicine on time voice + action + expression"

[0246] 8) Turn off the screen;

[0247] Case 2: The user does not tell the robot whether they took the medicine on time

[0248] 9) If the robot does not receive feedback from the user that the medication was taken on time after the preset time, it returns to step 4;

[0249] 10) After repeating step 4 for the preset number of times, the user still does not receive the instruction from the cloud that the medication has been taken on time.

[0250] 11) Intelligent robot triggers "not taking medicine on time" voice + action + expression

[0251] 12) Stop broadcasting and turn off the screen;

[0252] 3. Health status query and report

[0253] The daily health monitoring data of the intelligent robot is input into the application APP, and the data is synchronized to the cloud platform. When the user inputs the query demand through voice, the intelligent robot sends the query request to the cloud platform, and the cloud platform sends the health information to the intelligent robot. The intelligent robot broadcasts the health status information through voice.

[0254] 4. Daily communication and interaction

[0255] The user's voice wakes up the intelligent robot, which turns its body to face the user through sound source and visual positioning, and broadcasts the corresponding voice, expression, and action. The user sends a voice to the intelligent robot, which receives the user's voice information and sends it to the cloud. The cloud interprets the user's voice command, responds differently according to the user's command, and sends the command to the robot to execute the corresponding voice, expression, and action.

[0256] Steps such as Fig.34 :

[0257] 1) The user wakes up the intelligent robot through the wake-up word; the wake-up word is recognized locally and the corresponding wake-up operation is performed:

[0258] Action + Expression + Voice

[0259] Calibration: Local wake-up expression

[0260] Voice: Local built-in voice

[0261] Movement: The torso and head are on one axis, with the head returning to a 90-degree position with the main axis.

[0262] 2) After the intelligent robot receives the wake-up command locally, it uses sound source and visual positioning to turn its body to face the user, while broadcasting the corresponding voice, expression, and action;

[0263] 3) The user sends voice to the intelligent robot;

[0264] 4) The intelligent robot receives the user's voice and uploads it to the cloud platform;

[0265] 5) After analyzing the user's voice information, the cloud platform determines whether the user's voice is a query or daily communication;

[0266] 6) The cloud platform generates answers based on user query information and synthesizes corresponding voice feedback information;

[0267] 7) The cloud platform sends the answering voice to the intelligent robot, and the corresponding expressions and actions are triggered by the instructions;

[0268] 8) The intelligent robot plays the voice sent by the cloud platform and triggers corresponding expressions and actions;

[0269] Case 1: User voice is a query command

[0270] 9) Turn off the screen after the announcement is completed;

[0271] Case 2: User voice is for daily communication

[0272] 9) After the announcement is completed, wait for the user to continue to interact. If there is a new user interaction within the preset time, repeat step 9;

[0273] 10) After the announcement is completed, if there is no new interaction within the preset time, the intelligent robot will turn off the screen.

[0274] The protection content of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive concept, changes and advantages that can be thought of by those skilled in the art are included in the present invention and are protected by the attached claims.
