Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. Also, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solution means of the invention.

[0017] FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the system 100 in this embodiment. The system 100 in this embodiment is a system that assists in shooting a video for measuring non-cognitive abilities. The system 100 measures the non-cognitive abilities of the child 302 by shooting a video of the parent 301 and the child 302 playing together.

[0018] The system 100 includes a device 101 such as a smartphone and a determination unit 102. The device 101 functions as a shooting device. The system 100 uploads the video shot by the parent 301 using the device 101 from the device 101 to the determination unit 102 via the Internet 103. The determination unit 102 analyzes and evaluates the uploaded video and transmits a message to the device 101 via the Internet 103. An application for measuring non-cognitive abilities is pre-installed in the device 101.

[0019] The determination unit 102 determines whether a video corresponding to a predetermined evaluation item has been captured by the device 101. This predetermined evaluation item includes a plurality of evaluation items. The plurality of evaluation items include items evaluated by the time ratio in which a specific action is detected with respect to the total shooting time of the video, items evaluated by the number of times a specific action is detected in the video, and items evaluated by whether a specific action has been detected at least once in the video.

[0020] When the determination unit 102 determines that a video corresponding to a predetermined evaluation item has not been captured, the device 101 has a function as a display unit that displays this fact. Note that the shooting target may include a plurality of people such as the parent 301 and the child 302, and the display by the device 101 may include an instruction on how at least one of the plurality of people should move, and this display may be indicated by sound or characters.

[0021] The determination unit 102 receives a video from the device 101 and outputs an evaluation value of non-cognitive ability. Non-cognitive ability refers to the ability based on an individual's characteristics that cannot be measured by an academic achievement test. Specifically, non-cognitive ability is an ability based on an individual's characteristics such as self-awareness, motivation, endurance, self-control, metacognition, social ability, adaptability, creativity, cooperation, perseverance, planning ability, and communication ability, and is used in contrast to cognitive abilities such as academic ability. Since academic research has clarified that the level of non-cognitive ability affects academic background, employment, and income, it has attracted attention in the field of early childhood education.

[0022] In order to evaluate the non-cognitive ability of the child 302, the following items are detected from the images in the captured video in this embodiment. (1) The duration of a specific expression of the parent 301 and the child 302 and the integrated time within a specific time width, (2) The line of sight of the parent 301 and the child 302 (what they are looking at. When the target is a person, whether they are looking at the face), (3) The degree of eye opening of the parent 301 and the child 302 (whether they look sleepy), (4) Detection of a specific action of the parent 301 and the child 302, start, end, and duration of a specific action, integrated time within a specific time width, and order of specific actions.

[0023] Also, in order to evaluate the non-cognitive abilities of the child 302, in this embodiment, the following items related to the voice in the captured video are detected. (5) The start, end, and duration of the speech and vocalization of the parent 301 and the child 302, and the integrated time within a specific time width. (6) Extract specific phrases from the speech content of the parent 301 and the child 302 (for example, amazing, good boy, did it, come on, just a little more, no good, etc.). (7) Estimate specific emotions from the speech and vocalization of the parent 301 and the child 302 (for example, laughing, crying, getting angry, speaking gently, scolding, etc.).

[0024] Figure 2 shows an example of a method for evaluating non-cognitive abilities. As shown in Figure 2, in evaluating non-cognitive abilities, the movements, emotions, gazes, vocalizations, and expressions of the child 302, and the movements, emotions, gazes, and language of the parent 301 are comprehensively evaluated. In Figure 2, subjectivity means, for example, the child 302 initiating an interaction with the caregiver on their own. Responsiveness means, for example, the child 302 clearly reacting to the movements of the caregiver. Empathy means, for example, the child 302 having no unnatural movements and acting in accordance with the actions and situations of the caregiver. Motor control means, for example, the movements of the child 302 being directed towards the task and having no distracting movements. Emotional control means, for example, the child 302 being able to control their emotions on their own.

[0025] In Figure 2, consideration for the development of subjectivity means, for example, the parent 301 making an effort to encourage the subjectivity of the child 302. Consideration for the development of responsiveness means, for example, the parent 301 making an effort to encourage the responsiveness of the child 302. Consideration for the development of empathy means, for example, the parent 301 making an effort to encourage the subjectivity of the child 302. Consideration for the development of cognition means, for example, the parent 301 making an effort to encourage the cognitive development of the child 302. Consideration for the development of social-emotional means, for example, the parent 301 making an effort to encourage the social-emotional development of the child 302.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the subjectivity, responsiveness, empathy, motor control, and emotion control of the child 302 are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 5 points, and the consideration for the development of the subjectivity of the parent 301, the consideration for the development of responsiveness, the consideration for the development of empathy, the consideration for the development of cognition, and the consideration for the development of social-emotional are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 9 points, and the total evaluation is out of 70 points.

[0027] FIG. 3 shows an example of the evaluation items of non-cognitive abilities. FIG. 3 shows specific examples of the content for evaluating the subjectivity, responsiveness, and empathy of the child 302. In FIG. 3, other items in FIG. 2 are omitted. As shown in FIG. 3, the subjectivity, responsiveness, and empathy are each evaluated by items from 1 to 5. The evaluation items for subjectivity include "voicing or speaking to the caregiver while looking at the task tool." and "smiling or laughing during task performance." etc. The evaluation items for responsiveness include "showing an obvious reaction during the conversation." and "looking at the caregiver or the tool when the caregiver shows non-verbal behavior." etc. The evaluation items for empathy include "looking at the caregiver, showing the task tool, passing it, or pointing it to seek empathy rather than a request." and "looking at the caregiver for reference." etc.

[0028] FIG. 4 shows a schematic configuration of the determination unit 102 in the present embodiment. The determination unit 102 may be a server using a PC (Personal Computer) or the like, for example, an application server or a web server.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 4, the determination unit 102 includes an input unit 111, a processing unit 112, an output unit 113, and a storage unit 114. A video uploaded from the device 101 is input to the input unit 111. When the processing unit 112 receives the video from the input unit 111, the processing unit 112 analyzes and evaluates the video by referring to the storage unit 114, and generates an evaluation value and a message for evaluating the non-cognitive ability of the child 302 in the video. The processing unit 112 transmits the generated evaluation value and message to the output unit 113. The output unit 113 transmits the evaluation value and message to the device 101. The storage unit 114 stores, for example, a determination index database for parent-child behavior and an advice database by score and type. The storage unit 114 further stores information regarding a determination criterion that the processing unit 112 refers to for determining whether the shooting target is arranged under predetermined conditions with respect to the imaging device.

[0030] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the processing unit 112 in the present embodiment. When the processing unit 112 receives a parent-child video from the input unit 111, it analyzes the behaviors of the parent 301 and the child 302 in step S01, and makes a determination on the behavior in step S02. In the next step S03, scores for the behaviors of the parent 301 and the child 302 are calculated, and in the next step S04, the type of the child 302 is classified. In the next step S05, a message to be transmitted to the device 101 is generated.

[0031] FIG. 6 shows an example of a target behavior detection specification example and a complement scenario example for evaluation items. The target behavior detection specification example is an example of the behavior of the parent 301 or the child 302 corresponding to a specific evaluation item. When the behavior of the target behavior detection specification example is detected, it is evaluated that the evaluation item has occurred. The complement scenario example is an example of a scenario for complementing the target behavior detection specification example when it is not detected. By executing the complement scenario example, the target behavior detection specification example is complemented.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 6, as an example of the target action detection specification for the subjectivity 2, it is described as "1) Detect the number and interval of the child's smiles, 2) Detect the number and interval of the parent's smiles". Also, as an example of the complementary scenario for the subjectivity 2, it is described as "1) If the number of intervals and the integrated time in both 1) and 2) are less than a predetermined value, try to play again in a fun atmosphere, such as making faces at the child".

[0033] As shown in FIG. 6, as an example of the target action detection specification for the responsiveness 1, it is described as "1) Detect the parent's speech interval when the parent's line of sight is directed at the child or the tool, 2) Within 5 seconds during or after the interval of 1), the child's line of sight is directed at the parent or the tool, or the child reaches out a hand to the tool, or the child speaks". Also, as an example of the complementary scenario for the responsiveness 1, it is described as "If the number of intervals and the integrated time of the interval of 1) are less than a predetermined value, please try talking to the child, such as 'What shape is this building block?'".

[0034] As shown in FIG. 6, as an example of the target action detection specification for the empathy 3, it is described as "1) Detect the parent's speech interval when the parent's line of sight is directed at the child or the tool, 2) Within 5 seconds during or after the interval of 1), the child's line of sight is directed at the tool, or the child reaches out a hand to the tool, or the child speaks (regardless of the content of the speech)". Also, as an example of the complementary scenario for the empathy 3, it is described as "If the number of intervals and the integrated time of the intervals of 1) and 2) are less than a predetermined value, please try talking to the child, such as 'Let's try putting this building block that the child doesn't have in hand on top'".

[0035] Note that the evaluation items can be classified into item 1 evaluated by a ratio, item 2 evaluated by a frequency, and item 3 that can be evaluated if detected even once. Among the above, there are also items classified into multiple categories. Item 1 evaluated by a ratio is an item evaluated by the time ratio in which a specific action is detected with respect to the total shooting time of the video. For example, the subjectivity 2 "smile, laugh during task execution" in FIG. 3 is evaluated by detecting the detection interval (i.e., the duration) of the child 302's smile and the detection interval of the parent 301's smile, and thus falls under this item.

[0036] The item 2 evaluated by frequency is an item evaluated by the number of times a specific action is detected in the video. For example, the subjectivity 2 in FIG. 3, "smiling during task execution", is evaluated by detecting the number of times the child 302 smiles and the number of times the parent 301 smiles. Therefore, it also corresponds to this item. The item 3 that can be evaluated if detected even once is an item evaluated by whether a specific action is detected even once in the video. For example, the empathy 4 in FIG. 3, "the child smiles within 5 seconds after the caregiver's speech", corresponds to this item.

[0037] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the detection of item 1, item 2, and item 3. In FIG. 7, item 1 is indicated by diagonal hatching, item 2 is indicated by thin dotted line and thick dotted line hatching, and item 3 is indicated by a black-filled star mark. The detection section is shown for item 1 evaluated by ratio, the number of detections is shown for item 2 evaluated by frequency, and it is shown that item 3 that can be evaluated if detected even once has been detected once.

[0038] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing each stage of the video shooting method of the present embodiment. FIGS. 9 to 12 are explanatory diagrams of the video shooting method performed by the system 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, each stage of the video shooting method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12.

[0039] In step S11 of FIG. 8, the parent 301 starts shooting a video used for measuring non-cognitive abilities. The video shooting time is, for example, 4 minutes, and this time is displayed on the device 101. After finishing shooting, in the next step S12, the video shooting is terminated. In the next step S13, when the parent 301 taps "Video Verification" in the app, the captured video is transmitted to the determination unit 102. In the next step S14, the determination unit 102 executes video verification of the received video. In the next step S15, the determination unit 102 analyzes and evaluates the received video by image analysis, and determines whether there are unevaluated items in the video.

[0040] Figure 9 shows a first example of detecting evaluation items in a video. As shown in Figure 9, the evaluation items to be detected to evaluate the non-cognitive ability of child 302 are, for example, four items from evaluation item A to D. Note that evaluation items A to D shown in Figure 9 are all items (item 3) that can be evaluated if detected even once. In the example shown in Figure 9, one 4-minute video is taken. In the example shown in Figure 9, each of the evaluation items A to D is detected within the 4-minute video. Therefore, since there are no unfinished evaluation items in the first example, the non-cognitive ability of child 302 can be evaluated based on this video.

[0041] Figure 10 shows a second example of detecting evaluation items in a video. As shown in Figure 10, the evaluation items to be detected to evaluate the non-cognitive ability of child 302 are, for example, four items from evaluation item A to D. Note that evaluation items A to D shown in Figure 10 are all items (item 3) that can be evaluated if detected even once. In the example shown in Figure 10, one 4-minute video is taken. In the example shown in Figure 10, evaluation items A, B, and D are detected within the 4-minute video. However, evaluation item C is not detected. Therefore, since there are unfinished evaluation items in the second example, the non-cognitive ability of child 302 cannot be accurately evaluated based on this video.

[0042] Figure 11 shows a third example of detecting evaluation items in a video. As shown in Figure 11, the evaluation items to be detected to evaluate the non-cognitive ability of child 302 are, for example, four items from evaluation item A to D. Note that evaluation items A to D shown in Figure 11 are all items (item 3) that can be evaluated if detected even once. In the example shown in Figure 11, two 2-minute videos are taken. Evaluation items A and B are detected in the first video, and evaluation items C and D are detected in the next video. Therefore, since there are no unfinished evaluation items in the third example, the non-cognitive ability of child 302 can be evaluated based on this video.

[0043] In step S15 of FIG. 8, when the determination unit 102 determines that there are no unevaluated items that have not been photographed (step S15: NO), it determines that the video shooting has ended, and the device 101, which is the display unit, displays to that effect when the determination unit 102 determines that the video shooting has ended. Therefore, the process proceeds to the next step S16, and the app of the device 101 displays "Video verification OK". The case where there are no unevaluated items is, for example, the case of the first example in FIG. 9 or the third example in FIG. 11.

[0044] When the video verification is OK and the captured video is input to the input unit 111 of the determination unit 102 and analyzed by the processing unit 112, as shown in step S17, the device 101 displays the evaluation and message feedback from the processing unit 112. As shown in FIG. 12, in the device 101, the scores of each evaluation item of the child 302 are displayed in the area 1011, the type of the child 302 is displayed in the area 1012, and advice for improving the evaluation items with low scores is displayed in the area 1013. Note that the evaluation and message in FIG. 12 are just examples, and other forms of evaluation and message may be used.

[0045] In step S15 of FIG. 8, when there are unevaluated items (step S15: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S18, and the app of the device 101 displays the complementary scenario that needs to be photographed. The case where there are unevaluated items is, for example, the case of the second example in FIG. 10. Note that when there are multiple unevaluated items, multiple complementary scenarios are displayed. When the parent 301, who is the photographer, understands the complementary scenario that needs to be photographed, in the next step S19, the parent 301 taps "Start complementary shooting" displayed in the app. Complementary shooting is the shooting of unevaluated items. For example, it is the shooting of evaluation item C in the example of FIG. 10.

[0046] In the next step S20, the device 101 performs supplementary shooting. The time for the supplementary shooting may be the same as the time for the shooting in step S11, or may be shorter than the time for that shooting. When the supplementary shooting is completed, in the next step S21, the parent 301 taps "Supplementary Shooting Ended" in the app of the device 101. When "Supplementary Shooting Ended" is tapped, the video shot by the supplementary shooting is transmitted to the determination unit 102. When the supplementary shooting is completed, the process returns to step S13, and the processes from steps S13 to S15 are performed again, and the above processes are repeated until there are no unevaluated items. When there are no unevaluated items, the process proceeds to steps S16 and S17, and the process ends.

[0047] As described above, according to the system 100 in the present embodiment, when there are unevaluated items, supplementary shooting is performed. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately shoot a video of the parent 301 and the child 302 playing, and assist in shooting a video used for measuring the non-cognitive ability of the child 302.

[0048] In the above embodiment, an example in which the device 101 as the display unit and the determination unit 102 are provided in different devices has been described. However, the display unit and the determination unit 102 may be provided in the same device. For example, the device 101 as the display unit may have the determination unit 102. In this case, feedback can be displayed on the spot for the parent 301 and the child 302 without transmitting information via the Internet 103. Also, a program capable of executing the above system 100 is also a part of the present invention.

[0049] Furthermore, various embodiments of the present invention may be described with reference to flowcharts and block diagrams, where the blocks may represent (1) stages of a process in which an operation is performed or (2) sections of a device having a role of performing an operation. Specific stages and sections may be implemented by a dedicated circuit, a programmable circuit supplied with computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium, and / or a processor supplied with computer-readable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium.

[0053] FIG. 13 shows an example of a computer 2200 in which multiple aspects of the present invention may be embodied, in whole or in part. Programs installed on the computer 2200 can cause the computer 2200 to function as an operation associated with the apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention or as one or more sections of the apparatus, or can cause the operation or the one or more sections to be executed, and / or can cause the computer 2200 to execute a process according to an embodiment of the present invention or a stage of the process. Such a program may be executed by the CPU 2212 to cause the computer 2200 to perform specific operations associated with some or all of the blocks of the flowcharts and block diagrams described herein.

[0054] The computer 2200 according to this embodiment includes a CPU 2212, a RAM 2214, a graphic controller 2216, and a display device 2218, which are interconnected by a host controller 2210. The computer 2200 also includes an input / output unit such as a communication interface 2222, a hard disk drive 2224, a DVD-ROM drive 2226, and an IC card drive, which are connected to the host controller 2210 via an input / output controller 2220. The computer also includes legacy input / output units such as a ROM 2230 and a keyboard 2242, which are connected to the input / output controller 2220 via an input / output chip 2240.

[0055] The CPU 2212 operates according to programs stored in the ROM 2230 and the RAM 2214, thereby controlling each unit. The graphic controller 2216 acquires image data generated by the CPU 2212 in a frame buffer provided in the RAM 2214 or the like or in itself, and causes the image data to be displayed on the display device 2218.

[0056] The communication interface 2222 communicates with other electronic devices via a network. The hard disk drive 2224 stores programs and data used by the CPU 2212 in the computer 2200. The DVD-ROM drive 2226 reads a program or data from the DVD-ROM 2201 and provides the program or data to the hard disk drive 2224 via the RAM 2214. The IC card drive reads programs and data from an IC card and / or writes programs and data to the IC card.

[0057] The ROM 2230 stores therein a boot program or the like executed by the computer 2200 at activation, and / or a program dependent on the hardware of the computer 2200. The input / output chip 2240 may also be connected to the input / output controller 2220 via various input / output units through a parallel port, a serial port, a keyboard port, a mouse port, etc.

[0058] The program is provided by a computer-readable medium such as a DVD-ROM 2201 or an IC card. The program is read from the computer-readable medium, installed in a hard disk drive 2224, a RAM 2214, or a ROM 2230 which is also an example of a computer-readable medium, and executed by the CPU 2212. The information processing described in these programs is read by the computer 2200, resulting in the cooperation between the programs and the various types of hardware resources described above. The apparatus or method may be configured by realizing the operation or processing of information according to the use of the computer 2200.

[0059] For example, when communication is executed between the computer 2200 and an external device, the CPU 2212 may execute a communication program loaded in the RAM 2214 and instruct the communication interface 2222 to perform communication processing based on the processing described in the communication program. The communication interface 2222 reads the transmission data stored in the transmission buffer processing area provided in a recording medium such as the RAM 2214, the hard disk drive 2224, the DVD-ROM 2201, or the IC card under the control of the CPU 2212, transmits the read transmission data to the network, or writes the received data received from the network to the reception buffer processing area or the like provided on the recording medium.

[0060] Further, the CPU 2212 may cause all or necessary parts of files or databases stored in external recording media such as a hard disk drive 2224, a DVD-ROM drive 2226 (DVD-ROM 2201), an IC card, etc. to be read into the RAM 2214, and may execute various types of processing on the data on the RAM 2214. The CPU 2212 then writes back the processed data to the external recording media.

[0061] Various types of information such as various types of programs, data, tables, and databases may be stored in the recording media and may undergo information processing. The CPU 2212 may perform various types of processing on the data read from the RAM 2214, including various types of operations, information processing, conditional judgment, conditional branch, unconditional branch, information search / replacement, etc. described throughout this disclosure and specified by the program instruction sequence, and write back the results to the RAM 2214. Also, the CPU 2212 may search for information in files, databases, etc. within the recording media. For example, when a plurality of entries each having an attribute value of a first attribute associated with an attribute value of a second attribute are stored in the recording media, the CPU 2212 may search for an entry that matches the condition where the attribute value of the first attribute is specified among the plurality of entries, read the attribute value of the second attribute stored in the entry, and thereby obtain the attribute value of the second attribute associated with the first attribute that satisfies a predetermined condition.

[0062] The programs or software modules described above may be stored in a computer-readable medium on or near the computer 2200. Also, a recording medium such as a hard disk or RAM provided within a server system connected to a dedicated communication network or the Internet can be used as a computer-readable medium, thereby providing the program to the computer 2200 via the network.
