Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence interaction technology, and in particular to an artificial intelligence interaction device. Background Art

[0002] Artificial intelligence interaction breaks through the limitations of traditional interaction technology through multimodal information fusion and precise feedback mechanism, greatly enhancing the user's real experience in various interactive scenarios. It is widely used in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), smart games, immersive education, telemedicine, industrial simulation and other fields.

[0003] At present, traditional interactive interfaces mainly rely on screens (ordinary screens and VR screens) and voice commands to achieve interactive operations. Taking VR applications as an example, when simulating daily activities such as holding an umbrella and picking up objects, the user experience has obvious defects. When simulating holding an umbrella, it is impossible to accurately perceive the changes in impact force corresponding to the size, speed, and density of raindrops. The texture of the umbrella handle material (such as the rough texture of wood and the cold and smooth feeling of metal), the grip friction, and the changes in the opening and closing tension of the umbrella surface are difficult to convey truthfully. When simulating picking up objects, the key tactile information such as the shape details of the object (such as the curvature of a sphere, the edges and corners of a cube), surface roughness (from sandpaper-like roughness to silky smoothness), weight distribution (difference in center of gravity position), elastic deformation and reaction force at the moment of picking up, etc. are seriously missing. This lack of somatosensory feedback greatly reduces the user's immersion and sense of reality in the virtual environment.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes an artificial intelligence interaction device. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an artificial intelligence interaction device to solve the shortcomings of the somatosensory feedback in the prior art proposed in the above background technology, thereby greatly reducing the problems of user immersion and sense of reality in the virtual environment.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an artificial intelligence interaction device, comprising an information collection unit, a data processing unit, a somatosensory feedback unit, a visual feedback unit and an audio feedback unit;

[0007] The information collection unit includes a high-precision motion capture sensor, a voice recognition sensor and an environmental sensor. The information collection unit is the information entrance of the device and is responsible for collecting multi-dimensional information of the user during the interaction process;

[0008] The data processing unit is closely connected with the information collection unit to receive and process the massive amount of information collected by it;

[0009] The somatosensory feedback unit includes a high-density distributed micro-vibration motor array, a flexible pressure sensor and a temperature adjustment element. The micro-vibration motor array adopts a high-density distribution design and is distributed throughout the parts where the user may interact with the device. The flexible pressure sensor is based on the piezoresistive or capacitive sensing principle and has high sensitivity and fast response characteristics. It is integrated on the contact surface of the interactive device and can sense the pressure applied by the user, the pressure distribution and the pressure change rate in real time. The temperature adjustment element adopts a semiconductor cooling and heating module based on the Peltier effect principle, which can quickly achieve temperature adjustment.

[0010] The visual feedback unit includes an ultra-high-definition resolution display screen, a rendering module and a stereoscopic display module. The display screen adopts micro-light-emitting diode display technology. The rendering module uses physically based rendering technology and ray tracing algorithms to realistically simulate the optical phenomena of reflection, refraction and scattering of light on the surfaces of objects of different materials, as well as the spatial relationship of shadows and occlusions of objects. The stereoscopic display module adopts time-division stereoscopic display combined with head tracking technology to provide users with an immersive stereoscopic visual experience.

It uses audio spatialization technology to calculate the sound propagation path, attenuation effect and acoustic characteristics of reflected echoes in real time according to the user's position in the virtual scene and the positional relationship of the interactive objects. The audio synthesis and special effects engine can generate various realistic environmental sound effects and interactive sound effects according to the requirements of the interactive scene.

[0012] Furthermore, the high-precision motion capture sensor adopts advanced optical tracking and inertial measurement unit fusion technology, which can accurately capture the subtle movements of various parts of the user's body. The sampling frequency of the high-precision motion capture sensor is 1000-2500 Hz, ensuring the real-time and accuracy of the motion information;

[0013] The speech recognition sensor uses a deep learning speech recognition algorithm and has a strong ability to resist environmental noise interference. It can accurately recognize the user's voice commands under different environmental noise backgrounds. The speech recognition accuracy rate exceeds 97%, and it can accurately analyze the user's semantic intentions.

[0014] The environmental sensors include light sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors and spatial positioning sensors. The light sensor can accurately measure the intensity of ambient light and color temperature parameters, providing a basis for scene lighting adaptation for the visual feedback unit; the temperature sensor and humidity sensor can monitor the temperature and humidity changes in the user's environment in real time, and provide key data when simulating specific climate scenes or interactive experiences related to temperature and humidity; the spatial positioning sensor uses a combination of satellite positioning and indoor positioning technology to accurately determine the user's location information globally and in specific indoor spaces, providing basic data support for building personalized interactive scenes.

[0015] Furthermore, with respect to motion information, the data processing unit performs real-time analysis on the continuous motion data stream transmitted from the motion capture sensor through a well-trained neural network model. With respect to voice information, the data processing unit converts the voice signal into text information through a speech recognition algorithm, and further performs semantic understanding and intent analysis through natural language processing technology. Combined with environmental information, the data processing unit can dynamically adjust the rendering parameters of the interactive scene, the intensity of somatosensory feedback, and the voice interaction logic according to factors such as light, temperature, humidity, and spatial position.

[0016] Furthermore, the micro vibration motors are all equipped with independent control circuits, which can accurately simulate vibration modes of different frequencies, amplitudes and waveforms according to the instructions transmitted by the data processing unit. When simulating the touch of the surface of objects of different materials, the vibration parameters of the vibration motors are adjusted so that the user's hands or body parts can feel the corresponding texture differences.

[0017] When the user performs a grabbing action in the virtual environment, the flexible pressure sensor feeds back pressure data to the data processing unit, and the data processing unit controls the micro vibration motor array to generate corresponding reaction force vibration according to the weight and hardness properties of the virtual object;

[0018] When the temperature regulating element simulates an interactive scenario related to temperature, the temperature regulating element adjusts the temperature of the part in contact with the user to the set value in a very short time according to the instruction of the data processing unit; at the same time, in order to avoid discomfort or injury to the user caused by excessively high or low temperature, the temperature regulating element also includes a temperature monitoring and safety protection mechanism to ensure that the temperature is always controlled within a safe and comfortable range for the human body.
