[0002] Traditional assistive devices for daily living are unable to meet the complex needs of users.

[0003] Firstly, the low level of functional integration makes them inconvenient to use. Most existing assistive devices adopt a single-scenario design. For example, medical heart rate monitors can only collect physiological indicators, traditional hearing aids only provide sound amplification, and assistive glasses for the visually impaired only have optical correction. This fragmented design requires users to carry multiple devices at the same time, resulting in significant issues of weight accumulation and cumbersome operation, thereby reducing the frequency of use or abandoning the use of assistive functions. Secondly, the interaction methods have limitations. For example, traditional button and touch screen operation modes are not user-friendly for the elderly and people with physical disabilities, have high learning costs, and are difficult to operate. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve smooth interaction when facing users or scenarios with different languages, and the functionality is limited. In summary, existing technologies have shortcomings in terms of functional integration, cross-module collaboration, and interactive experience.

[0032] Specifically, the life assistance system based on artificial intelligence inputs visual images, auditory signals, and physiological indicators after Kalman filter denoising into the AI hub for multi-modal analysis, realizing environment recognition and user state assessment.

[0033] Specifically, the hardware integration distribution of each module of the artificial intelligence-based life assistance system is as follows: the hardware of the system is a virtual helmet, the virtual helmet includes a life monitoring sensor array integrated on the left and right sides of the neck, an electromyographic signal acquisition module arranged on the neck, a bionic conduction earphone arranged on the lower side of the ear, two loudspeakers arranged on the two sides of the respirator, an internally integrated Bluetooth communication module, four cameras arranged on the outside, a protective lens arranged in front of the eyes, a double-sided flexible screen arranged on the inner side of the protective lens, the protective lens on the outside, the double-sided flexible screen on the inner side, the protective lens and the double-sided flexible screen being two independent individuals.

[0035] Specifically, the system is equipped with a 5000mAh lithium polymer battery and supports Qi protocol wireless fast charging.

[0036] 1. Hardware integration distribution The patch type sensor array is as follows: PPG heart rate sensor (model: Maxim MAX30102, sampling rate 100Hz); Thermal imaging body temperature sensor (model: FLIR Lepton 3.5, accuracy ±0.5℃); Piezoelectric respiration frequency sensor (sampling rate 20Hz); Miniature pressure body weight sensor (accuracy ±1kg).

[0037] Bionic conduction earphone integrated on the lower side of the ear (model: AfterShokz Aeropex, noise reduction depth 30dB); Two loudspeakers (frequency response 20Hz-20kHz); Four cameras (fish-eye lens + standard lens combination, fish-eye field of view angle 180°); Protective lens and ergonomically designed double-sided flexible screen arranged on the inner side; Electromyographic signal acquisition module (sampling rate 1000Hz); Bluetooth module (model: Nordic nRF52840).

[0038] The AI central processor is built-in NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin chip with 16G memory; Front microphone; 5000mAh lithium polymer battery, supporting 15W Qi wireless fast charging.

[0039] 2. Software algorithm and process implementation Life monitoring module processing flow: Sensors acquire data in real time → Kalman filter noise reduction (noise standard deviation reduced by 80%); An individual physiological baseline model was constructed based on an LSTM neural network (3 layers, 128 neurons per layer). The training set contained 24-hour data of 200 users of different ages and genders. Anomaly detection: When HRV < 50ms and respiratory rate < 8 breaths / minute, an emergency response is triggered with a response time of < 1.5 seconds.

[0040] Emergency measures: The voice alarm says, "An abnormal heart rate has been detected. Emergency services have been contacted for you." At the same time, a distress signal containing physiological data is sent to the preset emergency contacts via the MQTT protocol.

[0041] Obstacle avoidance path planning: The camera captures environmental images → the SLAM algorithm (ORB-SLAM3) constructs a 3D map at a speed of 15 frames per second; The Dijkstra algorithm generates obstacle avoidance paths, which are then smoothed and synchronized to the motion control module. Mechanical prosthetic control: Electromyographic signals are mapped into joint movement commands through an RNN model, such as the "elbow flexion" command, with a recognition accuracy of 92%.

[0042] Multilingual interaction process: Visual compensation module OCR recognition (Tesseract engine, supports 120 fonts) → Transformer translation model (8-layer encoder + 8-layer decoder, vocabulary size 32000) → TTS synthesis (timbre similarity 4.5 / 5) → Bionic conductive headphones playback, with a total latency of 480ms.

[0043] 3. Typical work scenarios Scenario 1: An elderly person experiences a sudden abnormal heart rate outdoors Life monitoring module: When the sensor detects a sudden drop in heart rate to 42 beats / minute, heart rate variability (HRV) below 45ms, and respiratory rate less than 10 breaths / minute, the two-way authentication mechanism is triggered. The alarm was then played through bionic conductive headphones, and a distress signal with real-time heart rate and respiratory rate curves, along with GPS location, was sent to the family doctor platform via the MQTT protocol.

[0044] Scenario 2: Obstacle Avoidance Path Planning for Visually Impaired Individuals The system achieves obstacle avoidance navigation through multi-sensor fusion and AI algorithms. On the hardware side, the environment is collected in real time by cameras, and then a 3D map is built using the SLAM algorithm. The AI ​​hub generates obstacle avoidance paths based on the Dijkstra algorithm, and the mechanical prosthesis receives control commands via Bluetooth.

[0045] The algorithm flow is: the camera image is identified by the obstacle, ORB-SLAM3 constructs a three-dimensional map, and Dijkstra algorithm generates an initial path. When a dynamic obstacle is encountered, a buffer for obstacle avoidance is reserved by the inflation coefficient 1.2 of the grid map.

[0046] The visually impaired person receives voice prompts such as "2 meters ahead of the stairs" through the bionic conduction earphone; the physically disabled person can preset the "clenching gesture to detour" through the electromyographic signal acquisition module.

[0047] As in a typical scenario, when a visually impaired user walks in a mall, the system detects a promotion booth and generates a right detour path, dynamically adjusts the route when a pedestrian approaches, and synchronously guides through voice.

[0048] Scenario 3: Use demand in cross-language scenarios When the user is traveling abroad and ordering food in a restaurant, the head-mounted camera performs OCR text recognition on the menu through the Tesseract engine, transmits the recognized text information to the Transformer architecture NMT model of the visual compensation module, which quickly translates the menu content into a language familiar to the user, and the translation result is converted into voice through TTS speech synthesis technology and played to the user through the bionic conduction earphone on the shoulder, helping them understand the menu content.

[0049] When the user is lost on the street and asks a passerby for directions, the microphone collects the passerby's voice, and the DeepSpeech speech recognition model realizes instruction recognition in a noisy environment, and after translation by the Transformer model, it is fed back to the user in the form of voice and text. In addition, if the user needs gesture assistance when communicating with others, the OpenPose algorithm analyzes 18 gesture semantics, combined with voice translation, to achieve more efficient cross-language communication and fully meet the user's interactive needs in a multilingual environment.

[0050] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application; however, the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present application according to the technical solution and improvement concept of the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
