[0002] AI exhibition hall operations involve multiple aspects such as equipment control, security monitoring, and energy management. AI can realize intelligent linkage of equipment, automatically generate energy consumption reports, and even reduce equipment failures and labor costs through predictive maintenance.

[0003] The current method of controlling AI exhibition halls is mainly based on AI data analysis and decision-making, using cameras and sensors to collect audience behavior data. AI can analyze audience interests and optimize exhibit layout or explanation content. For example, if most visitors stay in front of a certain exhibit for a short time, the system can automatically adjust the lighting or interactive form of the exhibition area.

[0004] However, since AI analysis models mainly rely on training data when analyzing and making decisions, if the exhibition hall environment is very different from the training scenario, it may lead to misjudgment, resulting in poor real-time adjustment of the exhibition hall's guided route or interactive form, thereby affecting the display effect of the AI exhibition hall. For example, in extreme crowd conditions, sensors may fail due to data overload, making it difficult to accurately obtain the distribution of exhibition hall audiences and timely adjust the guided route or interactive form. Therefore, we need to propose an AI exhibition hall control method and system based on crowd thermal distribution monitoring to solve the above-mentioned problems, so that it can dynamically adjust the guided route or interactive form according to the crowd density, thereby improving the display effect of the AI exhibition hall.

A higher score means the model considers this location feature more important for focusing on key areas of the exhibition hall (such as popular exhibits).

[0100] C4. Combine the convolution results with the time series data and use the gated loop algorithm to learn the dependency of crowd flow in the time dimension. The formula of the gated loop algorithm is:

[0107] C7. The prediction model is trained using standardized data set data, and the parameters of the prediction model are optimized using the loss function. The optimized prediction model is a real-time thermal prediction model.

[0108] The process of predicting population distribution trends is as follows:

[0109] D1: Real-time collection of multi-source data 6-8 minutes before the current moment, and normalization of the collected data;

[0110] D2. Use the normalized data to predict the thermal prediction model to obtain the prediction results;

[0114] S5. Dynamically adjust control strategies based on predicted crowd distribution trends and business objectives, where the business objectives are exhibit attention, visitor flow, and interactive experience;

[0115] The control strategy includes control based on exhibit attention, control based on visitor fluency, and control of interactive experience. Control based on exhibit attention includes optimizing traffic flow to popular exhibits and activating unpopular areas. The exhibit attention control method is as follows: if the heat level of a certain area is predicted to be ≥80% and the average dwell time is >15 minutes, adjustments will be made to optimize traffic flow to popular exhibits, triggering operations such as enhanced display effects, intelligent explanation scheduling, and space expansion. The enhanced display effect is achieved by adjusting the lighting brightness in the area (increase by 30%) through the IoT system and increasing the frequency of holographic projection or AR interactions (+2 times per hour) to attract more attention.

[0116] Intelligent tour dispatching automatically dispatches mobile tour guide robots to the area (or triggers voice broadcasts) to supplement manual tours, while also pushing detailed exhibit information to visitors' mobile phones via WiFi probes.

[0117] Space expansion involves temporarily removing non-critical exhibits from the periphery and widening aisles (e.g., adjusting the exhibition area layout through electric partitions) to alleviate congestion.

[0118] If the predicted heat level in a certain area is ≤20% and the average dwell time is less than 5 minutes, adjustments will be made to activate unpopular areas, triggering content updates and route guidance. Content updates automatically switch the display format of exhibits (such as rotating booths and dynamic screen content) or launch interactive tasks (such as scanning QR codes and answering questions to win souvenirs). Route guidance guides visitors to the area through the exhibition hall LED screen, ground projection arrows, or app push notifications.

[0119] The control method based on the visit fluency is: when the channel area density value is predicted to be ≥60 people / m 2 , and the flow speed is less than 0.5m / s, congestion warning and diversion control will be carried out, that is, physical diversion, digital guidance and flow control will be triggered. Physical diversion is to open emergency channels (such as automatic unlocking of electric doors), monitor channel flow through infrared sensors, and dynamically adjust the frequency of gate opening and closing; digital guidance is to mark red congested areas through in-hall broadcasts and APP real-time heat maps, and recommend detour routes (based on RFID tags to track visitor locations and plan the shortest path); flow control is to use RFID / face recognition to count the real-time number of people in the museum at the entrance. If the number exceeds 80% of the maximum capacity, the time-sharing reservation mechanism will be activated (such as limiting the speed of new visitors entering);

[0120] The interactive experience-based control method is as follows: if the number of people queuing in the interactive device area (such as the VR experience area) is predicted to be ≥5 and the waiting time is >10 minutes, dynamic scheduling of interactive equipment is carried out, triggering equipment expansion, time management and exclusion visualization operations; equipment expansion involves remotely starting a backup interactive terminal (such as a dormant VR device) and pushing a notification via the app that "device has been added and can be experienced immediately"; time management involves automatically shortening the duration of a single experience (such as from 8 minutes to 5 minutes) while increasing the number of sessions (such as 3 sessions per hour); queue visualization involves setting up an electronic screen in the area to display the real-time number of queue members and estimated waiting time, reducing visitor anxiety;

[0121] S6. Real-time monitoring of the changes in thermal distribution after dynamic adjustment, and optimization of the parameters of the thermal prediction model according to the changes in thermal distribution.

[0122] The process of parameter optimization of the thermal prediction model is as follows:

[0123] E1. Collect actual thermal data every two minutes using a thermal imaging camera, compare it with the predicted thermal map, and calculate the error value for each grid:

[0124]

[0125] If the regional average error is greater than 15%, the model optimization process is triggered;

[0126] E2. Add the latest actual data (including the adjusted control strategy labels) to the standardized dataset and use incremental learning to update the parameters of the convolutional neural network and spatiotemporal graph neural network;

[0127] E3. If the spatial attention weight of a certain area is continuously low but the actual flow of people is dense, increase the weight of the regional features in the spatial attention calculation, such as adjusting the bandwidth parameter of the Gaussian kernel function. ;

[0128] If the prediction error of a certain period in the time series is large, the temporal attention weight of this period is enhanced, such as adjusting the forget gate parameters of the gated recurrent unit;

[0129] E4. Use the sliding window method to verify the optimized model using the data of the past hour. If the prediction error is reduced to within 5%, save the new model; otherwise, repeat E1-E5.

[0130] Crowd density distribution data, behavioral data and environmental data are obtained through thermal imaging cameras, WiFi probes and infrared sensors, and a thermal distribution map is generated. By fusing and labeling discrete density points into a continuous thermal field data set, the crowd distribution characteristics are intuitively displayed. The convolutional neural network and the spatiotemporal graph neural network are combined to effectively model the spatiotemporal correlation of crowd flow. Based on the prediction results 6-8 minutes in advance, a closed loop of prediction-adjustment-verification is achieved. By dynamically adjusting the control strategy according to the predicted crowd distribution trend and business objectives, the guided route or interactive form can be dynamically adjusted according to the crowd density. The exhibit layout can also be adjusted in advance to reduce the number of round trips for visitors and improve the overall flow efficiency, thereby improving the display effect of the AI exhibition hall.

[0131] Based on the above-described AI exhibition hall control method based on crowd thermal distribution monitoring, the present invention also provides an AI exhibition hall control system based on crowd thermal distribution monitoring, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a data acquisition module, a heat map generation module, a data processing and integration module, a real-time prediction module, an execution control module, and a feedback optimization module. The data acquisition module uses multi-source sensor equipment to obtain the original data stream in the exhibition hall in real time. The original data stream includes the thermal coordinates of the crowd, the length of stay, the movement speed, and the environmental parameters. The multi-source sensor equipment generates the original data stream by deploying thermal imaging cameras, infrared sensors, WiFi probes, RFID tag readers, and environmental sensors.

[0132] The heat map generation module converts the sensing data into a visual heat distribution for real-time monitoring and analysis;

[0133] The data processing and integration module cleans, completes and integrates multi-source data to form a standardized data set of continuous thermal field;

[0134] The real-time prediction module uses a combination of convolutional neural networks and spatiotemporal graph neural networks to establish a real-time thermal prediction module, predicting crowd distribution trends 6-8 minutes in advance;

[0135] The execution control module dynamically adjusts exhibition hall resources based on prediction results and business goals. Exhibition hall resources include optimizing exhibit attention, flow, and interactive experience.

[0136] The feedback optimization module is used to build a closed loop of monitoring and optimization, monitor the changes in thermal distribution after dynamic adjustment in real time, and optimize the parameters of the thermal prediction model according to the changes in thermal distribution;

[0137] Through the collaboration of data collection module, heat map generation module, data processing and integration module, real-time prediction module, execution control module and feedback optimization module, the whole chain of intelligence from data collection to business implementation is realized.
