Abstract

To enable advanced, realistic conversations using an interchangeable figure head (parietal region) equipped with a thinking function that cooperates with five senses (sense of sight, sense of hearing, utterance, sense of smell, and sense of touch) and generative AI.SOLUTION: A figure head (parietal region) includes: a camera for the sense of sight; a microphone for the sense of hearing; a speaker for utterance; a smell sensor for the sense of smell; a pressure sensor for the sense of touch; a wireless charging battery; a communication device with an external smart phone that communicates with external generative AI or a communication device that directly communicates with the external generative AI as a thinking function; and a magnet ring that connects the figure head (parietal region) with a figure trunk.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a figurine capable of highly realistic conversation. [Background technology]

[0002] Some conversational agents and virtual assistants exist that allow for real-life conversations with figures.

[0003] However, these systems do not allow for a realistic relationship with the figures, and their usage and range of application are limited, so it is not possible to customize your favorite figures or existing figures. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Conventional conversational agents and virtual assistant systems are unable to have a real relationship with the figure, and their usage and range of applications are limited, making it impossible to customize a figure to one's liking or to an existing figure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention enables highly realistic conversations with an interchangeable figurehead (top of the head) equipped with five senses (sight, hearing, speech, smell, touch) and a thinking function that works with a generating AI. Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the implementation form of the figurehead (top of the head) by this method, and inside the figurehead (top of the head) are mounted a camera for vision, a microphone for hearing, a speaker for speech, an odor sensor for smell, a pressure sensor for touch, a wireless power supply battery, and a communication device with an external smartphone that communicates with an external generating AI as a thinking function, or a communication device that communicates directly with an external generating AI, and a magnet ring that connects the figurehead (top of the head) and the figure's trunk.

[0006] The present invention is characterized by the implementation of a communication device that communicates with an external AI via an external smartphone and / or a communication device that communicates directly with an externally generated AI. Effect of the Invention

[0007] The figure of this invention is capable of advanced, realistic conversations through the combination of five-sense sensors and generation AI. Furthermore, all necessary functions are built into the figure head (top of the head), so you can customize your favorite figure or an existing figure just by replacing the figure head (top of the head). [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows an example of the implementation of a camera, microphone, speaker, odor sensor, pressure sensor, wireless power battery, communication device for an external smartphone that communicates with an externally generated AI, and a magnetic ring that connects the figure head (top of the head) to the figure's torso. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] By linking the figure, which has five senses (sight, hearing, speech, smell, and touch), with generative AI, users can create a realistic relationship with the figure. EXAMPLES

[0010] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a figure according to the present invention.

[0011] It is equipped with cameras in both eyes, which function in human terms as vision.

[0012] It is equipped with microphones in both ears, which function as hearing in humans.

[0013] It has a speaker in its mouth, which functions like speech in humans.

[0014] They are equipped with an odor sensor in their nose, which functions like the human sense of smell.

[0015] It is equipped with pressure sensors on its cheeks, which function like the human sense of touch.

[0016] It is equipped with a communication device on the top of its head that can communicate with an external smartphone to communicate with an externally generated AI, or a communication device that can communicate directly with an externally generated AI, and functions as a brain in humans.

[0017] The head is equipped with a camera, microphone, speaker, odor sensor, pressure sensor, and a wireless power battery that serves as a power source for the communication functions.

[0018] The magnetic rings are attached to the bottom of the figure's head and the top of the figure's torso, and function as a neck in human terms.

[0019] All the functions necessary for real conversation are built into the figure head (top of the head), and you can customize your favorite figure or an existing figure. [Industrial Applicability]

[0020] It can be applied to manufacturing, parts distribution, and customization industries such as figure manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers. [Explanation of symbols]
