Description

Technical Field

Technical Background

[0002] At present, when autistic children have negative emotions, they can often only detect them through observation of their body, facial expressions and other external manifestations. This delay in emotional perception greatly hinders timely emotional intervention and seriously affects the patient's recovery process. Current research shows that body physiological signals (such as skin electrical response, heart rate, etc.) can be identified in the early stages of emotional fluctuations, which is more forward-looking in predicting emotions.

[0003] At the same time, traditional intervention methods (such as support and companionship) usually intervene after negative emotions appear, and cannot achieve early intervention. In addition, although deep pressure inflatable vests based on deep pressure therapy (DPT) have been shown to relieve anxiety, anger and other negative emotions in children with autism, manually inflated pressure vests lack intelligence and ease of use.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above problems, there is an urgent need for a more intelligent and accurate method and system for emotion recognition and regulation in children with autism, which can provide more timely and effective emotion monitoring and regulation based on the special needs of children with autism.

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for emotion recognition and regulation of autistic children based on a wearable device, which includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S1, real-time acquisition of the physiological signals of the current user within a certain period of time, including skin electrical signals, skin temperature signals, heart rate signals, blood volume pulse signals, and real-time acquisition of the facial expression image of the current user within a certain period of time.

[0048] The "certain time period" cannot be too short or too long. If the time is too short, it will have a potential impact on the accuracy of emotion recognition. If the time is too long, negative emotions may not be regulated and intervened in time. It is generally limited to t seconds, 30<t<60, and in this embodiment, it is set to 30 seconds.

[0049] Step S2, performing a noise reduction filter preprocessing operation on the acquired physiological signal, and simultaneously performing a preprocessing operation on the acquired facial expression image.

[0050] In this embodiment, the four physiological signals of skin electricity, skin temperature, heart rate and blood volume pulse obtained are subjected to low-pass filtering and denoising. The low-pass filtering range of the skin electricity signal is [0, 0.08] Hz, the low-pass filtering range of the skin temperature is [0, 0.2] Hz, the low-pass filtering range of the heart rate is [0, 0.4] Hz, and the low-pass filtering range of the blood volume pulse is [0, 15] Hz. The time domain analysis features of the skin electricity signal include the mean, standard deviation, median, maximum and ratio of the skin electricity signal, the mean, standard deviation, median, maximum and ratio of the skin electricity signal after the first-order difference, the mean, standard deviation, median, maximum and ratio of the skin electricity signal after the second-order difference, the frequency domain analysis features of the skin electricity signal include the spectral power of the frequency band [0, 0.08] Hz, the time domain analysis features of the skin temperature signal The features include the mean, standard deviation, median, maximum and ratio of the electrodermal signal; the frequency domain analysis features of the skin temperature signal include the spectral power in the frequency band [0, 0.2] Hz; the time domain analysis features of the heart rate signal include the heart rate mean, heart rate standard deviation, heart rate variability HRV mean and heart rate variability HRV standard deviation; the frequency domain analysis features of the heart rate signal include the power spectral density in the frequency band [0, 0.4] Hz; the time domain analysis features of the blood volume pulse signal include the mean, standard deviation, median, maximum and ratio of the blood volume pulse signal; the frequency domain analysis features of the blood volume pulse signal include the power spectral density in the frequency band [0, 0.15] Hz; at the same time, the acquired facial expression image is converted into a [224×224] resolution, and the image depth is converted from 24 bits to 8 bits.

[0051] Step S3, inputting the preprocessed physiological signal data and facial expression data together into a hybrid multi-layer neural network for feature extraction, emotion recognition and classification, and outputting the emotion classification judgment result.

[0052] The structure of the hybrid multi-layer neural network used in this embodiment is as follows Figure 3As shown, LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) neural network is used to process physiological signal data that changes over time. The time-frequency analysis features of four physiological signals are extracted through LSTM neural network. At the same time, VGG-16 convolutional neural network is used to process the preprocessed facial expression images layer by layer to extract high-dimensional features related to emotions. Then, MCB (Multimodal Compact Bilinear Pooling) is used to fuse the LSTM output from physiological signals and the VGG-16 output of facial expression images to obtain a joint feature vector representing two different modalities. The fused features are then given different feature weights through the attention mechanism module to enhance the focus on key features. Finally, the output features are again passed through a fully connected layer of an LSTM neural network and a Softmax activation function to map the features to the probability distribution of different emotion categories. Finally, the emotion category with the highest probability is used as the recognition and classification result. The emotion classification judgment results are set as positive emotions (happy), neutral emotions (calm) and negative emotions (anger, anxiety, sadness).

[0053] Step S4, determining whether the emotion classification result in step S3 is a negative emotion, if "yes", proceed to step S5, if "no", proceed to step S6.

[0054] Step S5, under the premise that the emotion classification judgment result in step S4 is "yes", determine whether the deep pressure inflatable vest is in an inflated state, if "yes" proceed to step S8, if "no" proceed to step S7.

[0055] Step S6, if the result of emotion classification judgment in step S4 is "no", determine whether the deep pressure inflatable vest is inflated, if "yes", proceed to step S9, if "no", return to step S1 and repeat the whole method process to continue to obtain and classify the emotion state;

[0056] Step S7, under the premise that the emotion classification judgment result in step S4 is "yes" and the inflation state of the deep pressure inflatable vest in step S5 is "no", the deep pressure inflatable vest is inflated, and at the same time returns to step S1 to repeat the entire method process, and continues to obtain and classify the emotional state until the emotion reaches the normal indicator, enabling the deep pressure inflatable vest to be deflated.

[0057] If the emotion classification result is one of the negative emotions (anger, anxiety, sadness), and the deep pressure inflatable vest is in a non-inflated state, the deep pressure inflatable vest will produce an inflation action.

[0058] The deep pressure inflatable vest structure used in this embodiment is as follows Figure 4 As shown, a pump release valve device is used to perform the inflation and deflation actions.

[0059] Step S8, under the premise that the emotion classification judgment result in step S4 is "yes" and the inflation state of the deep pressure inflatable vest in step S5 is "yes", continue to maintain the inflation state of the deep pressure inflatable vest, and return to step S1 to repeat the entire method process, continue to obtain and classify the emotion state, and enable the deep pressure inflatable vest to be deflated after the emotion reaches the normal index;

[0060] This embodiment takes into account that when the user's emotion classification judgment results are both negative emotions (anger, anxiety, sadness) twice in a continuous time period, that is, the deep pressure inflatable vest has been triggered to be inflated for the previous time, the deep pressure inflatable vest will still remain inflated for the next time.

[0061] Step S9, under the premise that the emotion classification judgment result in step S4 is "no" and the inflation state of the deep pressure inflatable vest in step S6 is "yes", the deep pressure inflatable vest is deflated and returns to step S1 to repeat the entire method process to continue to obtain and classify the emotional state.

[0062] This embodiment takes into account that when the user's emotion classification results are negative emotions (anger, anxiety, sadness) and positive emotions (happiness) or neutral emotions (calm) twice in a continuous time period, that is, the deep pressure inflatable vest has been triggered to be inflated, the emotion regulation state is released in the next time, and the deep pressure inflatable vest performs a deflation action.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a system for emotion recognition and regulation of autistic children based on wearable devices, which includes an acquisition module, a data analysis module, a wireless communication module, and an adjustment module. The data analysis module is connected to the wireless communication module, the acquisition module is connected to the data analysis module and the wireless communication module respectively, the adjustment module is connected to the wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module is connected to the terminal;

[0064] The acquisition module is used to obtain data reflecting the user's emotional state in real time within a certain period of time.

[0065] The data analysis module is used to analyze the various data collected by the acquisition module and determine the emotion category.

[0066] The wireless communication module includes one or more of a network controller, a Bluetooth transceiver, a WiFi transceiver and a mobile network transceiver, and is used to transmit the collected data of the acquisition module to the data analysis module, and transmit the action instructions generated by the data analysis results to the adjustment module.

[0067] Among them, one or more of the network controller, Bluetooth transceiver, WiFi transceiver and mobile network transceiver depends on the device used. The high-definition camera and health monitoring smart bracelet of this embodiment use the 5G networking module and Bluetooth 5.0 module that come with the device, and the deep pressure inflatable vest uses the Bluetooth 5.0 module for command action driving;

[0068] The WiFi transceiver realizes medium and short distance wireless networking. This embodiment adopts a 1000M WiFi wireless transceiver.

[0069] The regulation module is used to provide timely emotion regulation measures when the data analysis module finds that autistic children have negative emotions.

[0070] The terminal is used to receive data analysis results and adjustment module action status from the wearable device, and provide an intuitive user interface so that the user can understand the received information.

[0071] Specifically, the specific process of each module in the system of this embodiment and the module realizing its function can be found in the relevant description in the method embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] This embodiment also provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores computer instructions, and the computer instructions are used to enable a computer to execute the above-mentioned method for identifying and regulating emotions of autistic children based on wearable devices.

[0073] Scenario description:

[0074] For example, a child with autism has recently been emotionally unstable and often suffers from negative emotions such as irritability and restlessness. The doctor recommends using our wearable device to monitor his emotional state so that he can regulate his negative emotions in a timely manner.

[0075] Feature collection:

[0076] Facial expression collection: Use the high-definition camera module of the wearable device to capture the user's facial micro-expression changes. For example, when the user is angry, anxious or sad, his face may show slight expression changes. These data are analyzed by the VGG-16 neural network to assist in judging his emotional state.

[0077] Physiological signal data collection: Use a health detection smart bracelet to continuously monitor the user's physiological indicators to collect real-time data on skin electrical signals, skin temperature signals, heart rate signals, blood volume and pulse signals. These data can reflect the user's physiological and emotional responses in advance.

[0078] Emotion recognition and regulation:

[0079] All collected data will be transmitted to a data analysis module, which includes a data processing unit, a command and dispatch unit, etc. These modules work together to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the data to determine whether the user is in a potential negative emotional state.

[0080] If the system determines that the user is in a negative emotional state, the adjustment module will be triggered. This module uses a deep pressure inflatable vest to apply pressure to make the user feel like being hugged, namely deep pressure therapy DPT, thereby calming their negative emotions.

[0081] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are only examples, and the protection scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
