[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] Example:

[0023] See Figures 1-6 This embodiment relates to a children's social interaction training toy, specifically used for training children with weak social skills (especially children on the autism spectrum) in social behavior centered on facial expression recognition, emotion imitation, tactile feedback, and active interaction. Specifically, it includes an egg-shaped body 11, with a rotatable and swingable display screen 12 on the side of the body 11. The display screen 12 integrates a camera 13. A ring-shaped LED light strip 14 is provided on the top of the body 11. Two sets of grip sensing units 15 are provided outside the body 11. Each grip sensing unit 15 includes a ring 16 and a handle 17. The ring 16 is fitted around the outer periphery of the body 11, and a thin-film pressure sensor array 18 is provided on the contact surface between the ring 16 and the body 11. An airbag 19 communicating with the inside of the ring 16 is provided on the handle 17.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer shell of the body 11 is made of ABS engineering plastic injection molding, and a layer of non-slip silicone soft shell is covered on the surface, which ensures structural strength and provides a soft touch when children touch it. The display screen 12 is rotatably and swingably mounted on the side of the body 11. The front of the display screen 12 integrates a high-definition camera 13 for real-time acquisition of children's facial expressions and movement images, which is suitable for children's expression simulation training scenarios (allowing children to imitate the expressions on the display screen 12 and simultaneously compare and evaluate the effects of imitation). The ring-shaped LED light strip 14 is arranged on the top of the body 11. It uses several RGB full-color programmable LED beads, which can be controlled by a microcontroller to display various colors and flashing modes to indicate the interactive status. When using the grip sensing unit 15, both hands need to be held on the ring 16 and the air bag 19 is squeezed at the same time to deliver gas into the ring 16. The pressure sensor 18 of the expansion film of the ring 16 detects the current pressure value, and the different colors or flashing modes of the ring-shaped LED light strip 14 are corresponding to the pressure value, effectively guiding the child's grip strength.

[0025] In this embodiment, a speaker unit 21 is integrated at the bottom of the body 11, and a control panel 22 is located at the top. The ring 16 is equipped with a miniature air pump 23 that communicates with its interior. Combined with the speaker unit 21, the process of dynamically assessing the child's grip strength on the airbag 19 is as follows:

[0026] When the detected pressure value is lower than the preset lower limit (e.g., 1.5N), it is determined that the child's grip strength is insufficient. The ring LED light strip 14 flashes red and the sound unit 21 broadcasts a prompt "Please grip it a little harder". At the same time, the micro air pump 23 is turned on to inflate the airbag 19 slowly, helping the child to perceive the correct grip strength.

[0027] When the detected pressure value is between the preset lower limit and the preset upper limit (e.g., 1.5N to 5N), it is determined that the child's grip strength is moderate, the ring LED light strip 14 switches to green constant light, the sound unit 21 plays the encouraging words "Good, please keep it up", and at the same time the micro air pump 23 is turned off to maintain the current inflation state of the airbag 19, giving the child a stable squeezing and wrapping feeling.

[0028] When the detected pressure value exceeds the preset upper limit (e.g., 5N), it is determined that the child's grip strength is too great. The ring LED light strip 14 flashes yellow and plays a prompt sound "Please relax". At the same time, the micro air pump 23 immediately starts to deflate, so that the air bag 19 in the handle 17 quickly releases gas to reduce the pressure in the ring 16 and prevent the child from exerting too much force.

[0029] This embodiment combines the thin-film pressure sensor 18 of the grip sensing unit 15 with the inflation and deflation of the micro air pump 23 to achieve real-time pressure detection and tactile simulation when a child grips the ring 16, enabling the device to provide feedback based on the child's grip strength. Compared to traditional interactive toys that only provide simple vibration or sound cues, this embodiment provides dynamic tactile interaction and can dynamically adjust the inflation degree of the airbag 19 according to actual grip strength changes, improving the child's perception of simulated handshake strength, enhancing human-computer trust, and laying a good foundation for subsequent actual social training.

[0030] See Figure 5The display screen 12 is connected to the body 11 via a movable connection component 24. The movable connection component 24 includes a primary servo motor 25 disposed within the body 11. A U-shaped movable seat 26 is connected to the drive shaft of the primary servo motor 25. A secondary servo motor 27 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped movable seat 26. A tertiary servo motor 28 is fixedly connected to the housing of the secondary servo motor 27. The drive shaft of the tertiary servo motor 28 is fixedly connected to the display screen 12. In this embodiment, the movable connection component 24 enables the display screen 12 to have better flexibility. On the one hand, the position of the display screen 12 can be adjusted in real time to keep its front facing the child's face, thereby achieving a simulated interactive effect of always "watching" the child. On the other hand, the display screen 12 can also trigger more vivid "expression actions" in conjunction with the currently displayed expression (for example, when displaying a "surprised" expression, it can simulate the look of looking up at someone, making the expression display more immersive), effectively improving the fun of the training toy.

[0031] The device body 11 is equipped with a hanger 32 for suspending the wristband 31. The hanger 32 includes a support rod 33 and a baffle 34. One end of the support rod 33 is connected to the device body 11, and the other end is connected and fixed to the baffle 34. In this embodiment, the device body 11 can also be adapted to the corresponding wristband 31 via wireless technologies such as Bluetooth. The wristband 31 integrates a heart rate sensor and a vibration motor, which can assess the child's anxiety level in real time through heart rate variability. In addition, the vibration of the wristband 31 enhances the child's tactile perception. Vibration stimulation helps to enhance their skin sensation ability and increase their acceptance of social tactile behaviors (such as hugging, holding hands, etc.), thereby improving the training effect.

[0032] The bottom of the machine body 11 is equipped with four sets of moving wheels 35. Each set of moving wheels 35 consists of a silent universal wheel and a micro drive motor, and is distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the machine body 11, forming a stable support for the machine body 11 and allowing it to move flexibly. This allows the display screen 12 to face the child and slowly move closer at the same time, enhancing the fun of the interactive training process.

[0033] See Figure 6 The main body 11 is equipped with four sets of feet 36, which are positioned opposite the movable connecting assembly 24 for horizontal placement of the main body 11. The four sets of feet 36 are made of metal, ensuring stable horizontal placement of the main body 11. In this position, the display screen 12 is located above the main body 11 and can be used as a regular entertainment screen.

[0034] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
