[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-143581 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, it has long been known that scented ingredients can bring psychological benefits such as a relaxing effect to people, as in aromatherapy, but it is also known that ions can have a relaxing effect. The above-mentioned conventional ion / ozone generators generate and release ions and ozone, but they were unable to generate ions and ozone based on people's emotions. There is a saying that "disease comes from the mind," and when people's emotions are negative, their immunity can be weakened, so it has been desirable to generate ions with a relaxing effect and ozone with a disinfecting effect based on people's emotions.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide an ion / ozone generator that can generate ions and / or ozone based on human emotions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the ion / ozone generator of the present invention is an ion / ozone generator that generates ions and / or ozone, A device body that generates ions and / or ozone; an emotion information acquisition unit for acquiring emotion information of a person; A control unit for controlling the device body, The control unit controls an output of the device main body based on the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit.

[0007] Here, the ion / ozone generator may generate (generate) ions and ozone by, for example, corona discharge, creeping discharge, silent discharge, etc. Furthermore, it may be one that generates ozone by means of a method other than discharge, for example, an ultraviolet lamp. In addition, there are two types of ions: disinfecting ions (hydroxyl radicals, etc.) and relaxing ions (negative ions). Relaxing ions (negative ions) have the effect of relieving stress and relaxing the body, improving blood circulation to make the skin beautiful, relieving fatigue and anxiety, and improving the quality of sleep. In addition, when switching between generating ozone and ions, the switching may be performed by changing the discharge voltage or the discharge distance, or by changing the duty ratio of the voltage applied to the discharge electrode or by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control. Furthermore, an ion generator and an ozone generator may be provided separately, and the switching may be performed by switching between them.

[0008] According to the present invention, when the emotion information acquisition unit acquires human emotion information, the control unit performs output control on the device main body based on the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit, so that ions and / or ozone can be generated based on the emotion of the person.

[0009] In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the emotional information may be obtained by analyzing at least one of a person's facial expression, a tone of voice, a content of a conversation, biometric information, an odor emitted by a person, a person's movement speed, a person's behavioral history, and a person's schedule.

[0010] According to such a configuration, emotion information is obtained by analyzing at least one of the above-mentioned types of emotion information, and based on the emotion information, optimal output control can be performed on the device body to generate ions and / or ozone.

[0011] Moreover, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, the control unit may set the ion output of the device main body to a weak output when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is positive information, and may set the ion output of the device main body to a strong output when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is negative information.

[0012] When a person's emotions are negative, that is, when the emotion information is negative, the person's (user's) immunity is weakened. For this reason, it is sufficient to output a large amount of ozone, which has a sterilizing effect, or ions, which have a relaxing effect, from the device body. The output strength may be switched by, for example, changing the discharge voltage or the discharge distance, by changing the duty ratio of the voltage applied to the discharge electrode, or by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control. In addition, ions are blown out from a blowing port provided in the device body, and a shielding member capable of shielding the blowing port may be provided, and the ion output may be switched depending on the degree to which the blowing port is shielded by this shielding member.

[0013] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the ion output is set to a strong output, thereby enhancing the relaxation effect, and when a person's emotions are positive, the ion output is set to a weak output, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, the control unit may set the ozone output of the device body to a weak output when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is positive information, and may set the ozone output of the device body to a strong output when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is negative information.

[0015] The output strength may be switched by, for example, changing the discharge voltage or the discharge distance, by changing the duty ratio of the voltage applied to the discharge electrode, or by PWM control. In addition, ozone is blown out from a blowing outlet provided in the device body, and a shielding member capable of blocking the blowing outlet may be provided, and the ozone output may be switched depending on the degree to which the blowing outlet is blocked by this shielding member.

[0016] When a person's emotions are negative, their immune system weakens, but by increasing the ozone output, the sterilization effect can be increased, and when a person's emotions are positive, by decreasing the ozone output, power consumption can be reduced.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, the control unit may cause the device main body to output ozone when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is positive information, and may cause the device main body to output ions when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is negative information.

[0018] According to such a configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, ions can be output to relax the person, and when the person's emotions are positive, ozone can be output to obtain a sterilization effect.

[0019] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, a blower fan is provided to blow the generated ions and / or ozone, The control unit may set an output of the blower fan to a low output when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is positive information, and may set an output of the blower fan to a high output when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is negative information.

[0020] According to such a configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the output of the blower fan can be set to high, thereby allowing ions and / or ozone to be widely diffused, and when a person's emotions are positive, the output of the blower fan can be set to low, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0021] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, a music generating unit that generates music is provided, The control unit may cause the music generation unit to generate relaxing music when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquisition unit is negative information.

[0022] Examples of relaxing music include the sound of a babbling brook or birds chirping, music with frequencies of 432 and 528 Hz, and sounds or music with 1 / f fluctuations.

[0023] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the relaxing effect can be increased by generating relaxing music.

[0024] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, a fragrance generating unit that generates a fragrance is provided, The control unit may cause the fragrance generating unit to emit an aroma when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquiring unit is negative information.

[0025] An example of the aroma is phytoncide, which is the scent emitted by trees in the forest. Phytoncide has deodorizing, disinfecting and relaxing effects.

[0026] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the aroma can be emitted, thereby enhancing the relaxing effect.

[0027] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, an image projection unit that projects a moving image and / or a still image is provided, The control unit may cause the image projection unit to project a relaxing image when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit is negative information.

[0028] Examples of relaxing images include videos of small animals, funny videos, and still images such as photographs of family and animals.

[0029] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, a relaxing image is projected, thereby enhancing the visual relaxation effect.

[0030] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the present invention further comprises a camera capable of photographing a human face, and a first emotion information determination unit that analyzes facial expressions of the human face based on photographic data photographed by the camera and determines the emotion information, The emotion information acquisition section may acquire the emotion information determined by the one emotion information determination section.

[0031] A person's facial expressions are analyzed using seven universal microexpressions: "happiness," "contempt," "surprise," "anger," "fear," "sadness," and "disgust." Furthermore, the first emotion information determination unit that analyzes facial expressions may be provided in an API (Application Programming Interface) in cooperation with the API.

[0032] According to this configuration, the first emotion information determination section analyzes a person's facial expression to determine emotion information, so that appropriate output control can be exercised on the device main body to generate ions and / or ozone.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, the emotion information acquisition unit may acquire the emotion information as positive information when the facial expression of the person analyzed by the first emotion information determination unit is “happiness,” “contempt,” or “surprise,” and may acquire the emotion information as negative information when the facial expression is “anger,” “fear,” “sadness,” or “disgust.”

[0034] In this way, by distinguishing human emotional information into positive information and negative information, more appropriate output control can be performed on the device body to generate ions and / or ozone.

[0035] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, a power switch for the device body may be provided near the camera, and the camera may take an image by pressing and holding the power switch.

[0036] According to this configuration, the power switch of the device body can also be used as the shooting button of the camera, and the shooting time can be secured by pressing and holding the power switch.

[0037] In addition, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, a mirror display unit capable of capturing almost the entirety of a person's face may be provided near the power switch, and when photographing with the camera, almost the entirety of the face may be captured by the camera by capturing the face in the mirror display unit.

[0038] According to this configuration, when photographing a person's face with a camera, almost the entire face is reflected in the mirror display section, so that the camera photographs almost the entire face, thereby improving the photographing accuracy.

[0039] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the camera may be installed away from the main body of the device and may be capable of communicating with the main body of the device in a wired or wireless manner. The camera may be installed, for example, at one of the entrance, the washstand, and the dressing table, or may be installed in another room. The camera may also automatically capture images of a person's facial expression when the person (user) enters the entranceway or uses the washstand or dressing table.

[0040] According to this configuration, since the camera is installed away from the device body, it is possible to capture images of people's faces as they pass by or use the device on a daily basis, thereby eliminating the need to take photographs. In addition, by using a camera to photograph the faces of the user and his / her family and registering the image in the device body, when someone other than family members visits the house, the camera can photograph the person's face and send the image to the device body, and by comparing that image with images of the user and his / her family, the control unit can recognize that someone other than family members has visited the house and increase the output of the device body to increase the amount of ozone generated or the amount of air blown by the blower fan. In this way, infection control measures can be taken and the risk of infection can be reduced.

[0041] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the camera is configured by a camera built into an external communication terminal such as a smartphone, The external communication terminal and the device body are capable of wireless communication, The user may use the external communication terminal to capture facial expressions using the camera, and the captured data may be transmitted to the device body. In this case, the camera may automatically capture a picture of the user's face while the user is operating the external communication terminal, but this automatic capture is permitted only with the user's consent.

[0042] According to this configuration, when the external communication terminal is used frequently, facial expressions can be captured easily.

[0043] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the camera is configured by a camera built into an external communication terminal such as a smartphone, The external communication terminal and the device body are capable of wireless communication, A user may use the external communication terminal to capture a facial expression with the camera, and the captured data stored in the external communication terminal may be transmitted to the device main body.

[0044] According to this configuration, the image of the face captured by the user can be used, thereby reducing the time and effort required for capturing images.

[0045] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the camera is configured by a camera built into the communication robot, The communication robot and the device body are capable of wireless communication, Photographed data of facial expressions captured by the camera may be transmitted to the device body.

[0046] According to this configuration, the user's face can be photographed using a camera built into the communication robot, thereby saving the user the trouble of taking the photograph themselves.

[0047] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the facial expression is photographed by the camera a plurality of times, 10 or more times, at intervals of one second or less; The first emotion information determination section may determine a facial expression mode by averaging facial expressions captured a plurality of times, and may obtain the emotion information by analyzing the facial expression mode.

[0048] With this arrangement, by averaging facial expressions captured by the camera, it is possible to improve the analytical precision of the first emotion information determining section.

[0049] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the camera may capture an image of a user's facial expression from a video screen when the user of the device body is making a video call.

[0050] According to such a configuration, the screen showing the image of the user can be used, thereby reducing the user's trouble.

[0051] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, an instruction unit for giving instructions to a user is provided, The instruction unit may instruct the user to stand still and look at the camera when capturing a facial expression with the camera.

[0052] When a user moves, the camera cannot capture a good picture of the user's face due to the blur, but with the above configuration, the instruction unit instructs the user to stand still and look at the camera when the camera is to capture the user's facial expression, so that the camera can capture the picture reliably.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the device further comprises a voice generating unit which generates a voice for a user, a reply acquiring unit which acquires a reply content and / or a tone of voice given by the user to the speech content generated by the voice generating unit, and a second emotion information determining unit which analyzes the reply content and / or the tone of voice acquired by the reply acquiring unit to determine the emotion information, The emotion information determined by the second emotion information determination section may be acquired by the emotion information acquisition section.

[0054] The reply content and / or tone of voice acquired by the reply acquisition unit may be analyzed by an API (Application Programming Interface) in cooperation with the API. Furthermore, the generating unit that generates voices for the user may be provided in the device body, or may be provided separately in the communication robot, at the entrance, or in front of a mirror.

[0055] According to such a configuration, emotion information can be determined from the content and / or tone of voice of the user's reply without causing the user any trouble.

[0056] In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the second emotion information determination section may determine the emotion information as negative information when the tone of the voice is low, and may determine the emotion information as positive information when the tone of the voice is high.

[0057] When the tone of the voice is low, the user can say that he / she is "depressed" or "not in good spirits", and the second emotion information determination unit can determine this as negative information, and when the tone of the voice is high, the user can say that he / she is "energetic", "lively", or "clear", and the second emotion information determination unit can determine this as positive information.

[0058] With this configuration, appropriate output control can be performed on the device body depending on the pitch of the user's voice.

[0059] Furthermore, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, the voice generation unit may generate voice to inquire about the user's physical condition or mood and encourage a reply, and if the content of the reply acquired by the reply acquisition unit is good, the second emotion information determination unit may determine the emotion information as positive information, and if the content of the reply is bad, the second emotion information determination unit may determine the emotion information as negative information.

[0060] The voice generating unit asks about the physical condition and mood and prompts a reply, and if the reply is good, such as "good," or "not bad," the second emotion information determining unit can determine it as positive information, and if the reply is bad, such as "tired," or "tough," the second emotion information determining unit can determine it as negative information.

[0061] According to such a configuration, the voice generating section directly asks the user about his / her physical condition and mood so as to prompt him / her to reply, so that appropriate output control can be performed on the device body based on the content of the reply.

[0062] In the above configuration of the present invention, the device main body is capable of communicating with a wearable device carried by the user, and includes a third emotion information determination unit that analyzes a state of the user based on biological information of the user measured by the wearable device and determines the emotion information, The emotion information acquisition section may acquire the emotion information determined by the third emotion information determination section. Examples of the biological information include the user's electrocardiogram, pulse rate, blood pressure, and the like.

[0063] According to this configuration, the wearable device can be used to determine emotion information of the user, thereby reducing costs. Furthermore, the third emotion information determination section determines emotion information based on the user's biological information, without the user having to operate the wearable device themselves, saving the user time and effort. In addition, since the device main body can communicate with the wearable device, when the wearable device measures biometric information that the user's heart rate has increased, the third emotion information determination unit infers that the user has sweated and exercised, and the control unit can then control the device main body to increase the ozone output in order to deodorize the sweaty odor. Furthermore, the user can remotely operate the device using a wearable device to fill the room with ozone in advance, effectively deodorizing the room when they return home. In addition, when a user who has been exercising while wearing the wearable device approaches the device main body, the third emotion information determination unit infers that the user has been exercising, and the control unit can control the device main body to increase the ozone output.

[0064] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the third emotion information determination section may determine the emotion information as negative information when the sympathetic nervous system is dominant, and may determine the emotion information as positive information when the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant.

[0065] According to such a configuration, appropriate output control can be performed on the device body in accordance with the user's condition.

[0066] In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the third emotion information determiner may determine the emotion information as positive information when the user removes the wearable device.

[0067] With this configuration, when the user removes the wearable device, the third emotion information determination section determines that the user is no longer restrained and is relaxed, and determines the emotion information to be positive information. Therefore, appropriate output control can be performed on the device body according to the user's condition.

[0068] In the above configuration of the present invention, the wearable device may measure the pulse rate of the user by pressing and holding a power switch provided on the device body.

[0069] According to this configuration, by pressing and holding the power switch, the wearable device measures the user's pulse rate, thereby saving the user time and effort.

[0070] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the device main body is capable of communicating with a pedometer (registered trademark) carried by the user, and includes a fourth emotion information determination unit that analyzes a degree of fatigue of the user based on the number of steps and moving distance of the user measured by the pedometer (registered trademark) and determines the emotion information; The emotion information acquisition section may acquire the emotion information determined by the fourth emotion information determination section.

[0071] According to such a configuration, appropriate output control can be performed on the device body in accordance with the user's actions.

[0072] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the device further includes an odor sensor that detects an odor emitted by the user, and a fifth emotion information determination unit that analyzes a stress state of the user based on the odor detected by the odor sensor and determines the emotion information, The emotion information acquisition section may acquire the emotion information determined by the fifth emotion information determination section.

[0073] According to such a configuration, the stress state of the user can be determined based on the odor emitted by the user, and appropriate output control can be performed on the device main body.

[0074] In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the odor sensor may detect the odor emitted by the user by pressing a power switch provided on the device body. In addition, the odor sensor may detect an odor by pressing and holding the power switch.

[0075] According to such a configuration, by pressing the power switch, the odor sensor detects the odor emitted by the user, thereby saving the user time and effort.

[0076] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the device body is provided with a suction fan and a suction hole that sucks in odors with the suction fan and guides the odors to the odor sensor, The suction hole may be provided near a power switch provided on the device body.

[0077] According to this configuration, the suction fan sucks in the odor through the suction hole, so that a large amount of odor can be sucked in, improving the detection accuracy of the odor sensor. Also, since the suction hole is provided near the power switch, the odor can be reliably sucked in through the suction hole by pressing the power switch. Furthermore, when the odor sensor detects an odor, the control unit increases the ozone output of the device body, so that the odor can be deodorized.

[0078] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the device body may further include a blower fan for blowing the ions and / or ozone generated by the device body, The blower fan may also serve as the suction fan. In this case, the generated ions and / or ozone are blown out by rotating the blower fan in the forward direction, and the odor is sucked in by rotating the blower fan in the reverse direction.

[0079] According to this configuration, the fan serves both as an air blower fan and an air suction fan, so there is no need to provide a separate fan, and costs can be reduced.

[0080] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the communication robot and the device body can communicate wirelessly, The communication robot may be provided with the odor sensor.

[0081] According to this configuration, the communication robot can move autonomously and approach the user to detect the odor emitted by the user, thereby reducing the user's trouble.

[0082] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, there is provided a motion detection unit that detects the presence or absence of a motion of the user and a motion speed of the user, and a sixth emotion information determination unit that analyzes a motion state of the user based on the presence or absence of a motion of the user and the motion speed detected by the motion detection unit, and determines the emotion information, The emotion information acquisition section may acquire the emotion information determined by the sixth emotion information determination section.

[0083] With this configuration, the sixth emotion information determination section determines emotion information based on the presence or absence of a user's motion and the speed of that motion, so that output control can be exercised over the device body based on this emotion information.

[0084] In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the sixth emotion information determination section may determine the emotion information as positive information when the user's movement speed is fast, and may determine the emotion information as negative information when the user is not moving or the movement speed is slow.

[0085] If the user's movements are fast and active, this can be determined as positive information, whereas if the user's movements are slow and motionless, this can be determined as negative information.

[0086] With this configuration, if the user's movement speed is fast, it is determined as positive information, and if the user is not moving or the movement speed is slow, it is determined as negative information, so that appropriate output control can be performed on the device main body.

[0087] In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the motion detection section may detect the presence or absence of a motion of the user and the motion speed by thermography.

[0088] According to such a configuration, since the presence or absence of a user's movement and the speed of that movement are detected by thermography, more appropriate output control can be performed on the device main body. In addition, since the thermograph can measure the user's body temperature, if the body temperature is high (for example, 37.5°C or higher), the ozone output of the device body can be increased to prevent the spread of infectious diseases within the installation space of the device body.

[0089] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, an external communication terminal such as a smartphone carried by the user and the device body can communicate wirelessly, The motion detection unit may be an acceleration sensor built into the external communication terminal.

[0090] According to such a configuration, it is possible to obtain information on the user's emotions using an acceleration sensor built into the external communication band terminal, thereby making it possible to reduce costs.

[0091] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, a wearable device carried by the user and the device main body can communicate wirelessly, The motion detection unit may be an acceleration sensor built into the wearable device.

[0092] According to this configuration, it is possible to obtain emotional information about the user using an acceleration sensor built into the wearable device, thereby making it possible to reduce costs.

[0093] In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the motion detection section may detect the presence or absence of a motion of the user based on a plurality of images of the user captured by a camera. Here, the camera may be a camera provided on the device body, a camera built into an external communication terminal such as a smartphone that is capable of communicating with the device body, or a camera built into a communication robot that is capable of communicating with the device body.

[0094] According to such a configuration, the presence or absence of movement can be easily determined by capturing images of the user multiple times with the camera.

[0095] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, a seventh emotion information determination unit is provided which analyzes the behavioral patterns of the user based on an action history and / or a schedule stored in a schedule book of an external communication terminal which is a smartphone, a personal computer, or the like of the user and which is capable of communicating with the device main body, and determines the emotion information of the user, The emotion information acquisition section may acquire the emotion information determined by the seventh emotion information determination section.

[0096] With this configuration, the seventh emotion information determination section determines emotion information based on the user's behavioral history and / or schedule, so that output control can be performed on the device main body based on this emotion information.

[0097] Furthermore, in the above-described configuration of the present invention, the seventh emotion information determination section may determine the emotion information as negative information when the behavioral history is expected to be fatigued or tense, and may determine the emotion information as positive information when the behavioral history is relaxed or enjoyable.

[0098] In the case of a presentation or speech, the user feels nervous and this can be determined as negative information; in the case of exercise or training, the user feels tired and this can be determined as negative information; in the case of beauty treatments, hot springs, and hobbies, the user feels relaxed and this can be determined as positive information; and in the case of working a lot of overtime, the user feels tired both physically and mentally and this can be determined as negative information. After the schedule is over, the user may be asked about his / her condition through the smartphone. For example, the user may be asked whether he / she felt tired after exercising or whether he / she felt relaxed after relieving stress. If you are tired, it can be determined as negative information, and if you are relaxed, it can be determined as positive information.

[0099] According to such a configuration, appropriate output control can be performed on the device body in accordance with the user's actions.

[0100] In the above-described configuration of the present invention, the content posted to the SNS may be used as the behavior history instead of or in addition to the behavior history stored in the schedule book.

[0101] For example, the seventh emotion information determination unit estimates and determines emotion information from the content of a post on SNS as follows. If the post content is about something that made you feel sad, lonely, or disappointed, it can be determined to be negative information, and if the post content is about something that made you feel happy or fun, it can be determined to be positive information. In addition, if the post content is "the food is delicious," it can be determined to be positive information as it is relaxing, and if the post content is from a tourist spot or out and about, it can also be determined to be positive information as it is relaxing.

[0102] According to this configuration, even if there is no action history and / or schedule in the schedule book, the user's emotion information can be determined from the content posted on the SNS.

[0103] In the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, the external communication terminal inquires of the user's condition by generating a voice to the user after a schedule stored in the schedule book is finished, and the seventh emotion information determination unit determines the emotion information of the user based on the action history and / or schedule stored in the schedule book and the user's reply.

[0104] According to this configuration, after a schedule stored in the schedule book is completed, the external communication terminal inquires about the user's status, so that the user's current status can be accurately grasped.

[0105] In addition, when the user operates the smartphone after an event stored in the schedule book has ended, the smartphone camera may capture a photograph of the user's facial expression and transmit the captured data to the device body. Effect of the Invention

The front and rear walls of the case 2 are formed to be curved (for example, elliptical) and bulge outward, and the top and bottom are formed to be flat. A recess having a curved cross section is provided on the top surface of the case 2, and an outlet 3 for blowing out the generated ions and ozone to the outside is provided at the bottom of this recess. In addition, air intakes 4, 4 for taking in outside air into the case 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the back surface of the case 2, extending in an arc along the left and right sides.

[0110] A power button (power switch) 5, an air volume button 6, and a timer button 7 are provided on the back of the case 2 at a distance from each other, with the power button 5 used to turn the ion / ozone generator 1 on and off, and the air volume button 6 allowing the user to select the air volume from three levels: "strong," "medium," and "weak." By pressing the timer button 7 to turn it on, operation will stop after a specified time (e.g., 8 hours) has elapsed, and by pressing it to turn it off, continuous operation will be possible. A power lamp 8 is provided on the front of the case 2. When the power button 5 is turned on, the power lamp 8 is lit, and when the power button 5 is turned off, the power lamp 8 is turned off.

[0111] An ion / ozone generating unit 10 is provided inside the case 2 . The ion / ozone generating unit 10 includes a discharge electrode and a counter electrode (not shown). The counter electrode is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a needle-shaped discharge electrode is disposed on the center line of the cylindrical counter electrode, and the counter electrode is disposed so as to surround the tip of the discharge electrode. The discharge electrode may be disposed so as to penetrate the counter electrode. In addition, the ion / ozone generating unit 10 oxidizes oxygen molecules in the air by corona discharge of the discharge electrode to generate ozone molecules (O 3 ) to generate ozone, and at the same time, negative ions can be generated by discharging the discharge electrode.

[0112] When a negative potential is applied to the discharge electrode of the ion / ozone generating unit 10, a corona discharge occurs at the tip of the discharge electrode, and electrons are emitted from the tip of the discharge electrode toward the inner surface of the counter electrode. The corona discharge oxidizes oxygen molecules in the air to produce ozone molecules (O 3 ) and generates ozone. The emitted electron flow is accelerated by the high electric field and collides with gas molecules, giving them kinetic energy, creating an air current as an electron-induced wind of air. At this time, some of the electrons are trapped in the outer shells of the gas molecules' bonds and become negatively charged ion molecules. Therefore, the electron-induced wind becomes an ion wind air current that contains negative ion molecules. In this way, the ionic wind generated by applying a DC potential to the discharge electrode and the counter electrode becomes an airflow that is blown out from the discharge electrode through the space between the counter electrodes, and the ionic wind containing negative ion molecules can be released in the direction from the discharge electrode toward the counter electrode.

[0113] Since the counter electrode is formed in a cylindrical shape, the ion wind becomes an air current that is generated in a circle around the discharge electrode, and the ozone generated simultaneously with the ion wind by the ion / ozone generating unit 10 can be diffused in a circle around the ion / ozone generating unit immediately after generation. The case 2 is provided with an outlet 3, from which the ozone and ions (ion wind) are blown outward. Also provided within the case 2 is a blower fan 11 for blowing the ions and ozone generated by the ion / ozone generating unit 10 toward the outlet 3 and blowing them out from the outlet 3, and for drawing in outside air through the intakes 4, 4. In this embodiment, the discharge electrode of the ion / ozone generating unit 10 is needle-shaped, and the counter electrode is cylindrical, but the discharge electrode unit and the counter electrode are not limited to these shapes. In addition, in this embodiment, ions and ozone are generated by the ion / ozone generating unit 10, but the present invention may also include an ion generating unit that generates ions or an ozone generating unit that generates ozone. In other words, it may be equipped with an ion generating unit that generates only ions (generating 100% ions and 0% ozone) or an ozone generating unit that generates only ozone (generating 100% ozone and 0% ions), or it may be equipped with an ion / ozone generating unit that simultaneously generates ions and ozone in a predetermined ratio (for example, a% ions and (100-a)% ozone, where a is a number greater than 0 and less than 100). In addition, an ion generating unit that generates ions by electrostatic atomization, an ozone generating unit that generates ozone by silent discharge, or an ozone generating unit that generates ozone by surface discharge may be provided. When ozone is generated by silent discharge or surface discharge, a dielectric (such as borosilicate glass or quartz glass) may be used between the electrodes, and electricity may be stored in the dielectric and then discharged. As an example of an ozone generating section that generates ozone, for example, a rod-shaped low-temperature plasma generator (rod-shaped electrodes) made up of a pair of electrode elements facing each other may be used. The low-temperature plasma generator is constructed by pairing electrode elements, each of which has a pipe-shaped discharge electrode made of a conductive thin film formed by applying a silver paste as a conductive paste to the inner surface of a glass pipe, which is a pipe-shaped insulator, and by arranging the pipe-shaped discharge electrodes of each electrode element, which are oriented alternately, in parallel and joining the glass pipes by line contact. When a high voltage is applied to each pipe-shaped discharge electrode of the low-temperature plasma generator, a discharge occurs between the surfaces of the pipe-shaped insulators of the electrode elements, and the low-temperature plasma generated by the discharge decomposes oxygen molecules in the air to generate ozone. Moreover, the rod-shaped electrodes may be arranged facing each other in the same straight line instead of being parallel, and a combination of a rod-shaped electrode and a flat electrode (a plate-shaped electrode, a sputtered electrode (coated electrode)) may also be used.

[0114] The device main body 1a also includes a power supply unit 17 that supplies power to the ion / ozone generating unit 10, the blower fan 11, and other parts that require power. The power supply unit 17 includes an external power supply unit 18 that supplies power received from a commercial power source to the device main body 1a, and a storage battery 19. The control unit 14 can switch between power supply from the external power supply unit 18 and power supply from the storage battery 19.

[0115] The storage battery 19 may be a secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery, or may be a primary battery. When receiving power from a commercial power source, a switching power supply (AC adapter) may be used to switch to a DC power supply circuit. When receiving power from the storage battery 19, a DC power supply circuit is used directly. Normally, power is received from a commercial power source, not from the storage battery 19. Switching between receiving power from a commercial power source and receiving power from the storage battery 19 may be performed automatically by the control unit 14, or a changeover switch may be provided in the device main body 1a and used to perform the changeover.

[0116] Furthermore, when the device main body 1a is separated from the surface on which the device main body 1a is installed, the control unit 14 switches the power supply from the external power supply unit 18 to the device main body 1a to the power supply from the storage battery 19 to the device main body 1a. To perform such switching, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a protruding switch 50 that can protrude from the bottom surface of the case 2 is provided on the bottom surface of the case 2, and when the bottom surface of the case 2 is placed on the installation surface, the switch 50 is pushed from the bottom surface against the biasing force of a spring 51 and sinks, turning the switch 50 ON, and power is supplied to the device main body 1a by the external power supply unit 18, and when the bottom surface of the case 2 is separated from the installation surface, the switch 50 protrudes from the bottom surface due to the biasing force of the spring 51, turning the switch 50 OFF, and power is supplied to the device main body 1a by the storage battery 19. The switch 50 can also be used as a fall detection sensor. Also, the switch 50 may protrude from the bottom surface of the case 2 by its own weight without providing the spring 51.

[0117] Furthermore, when power is supplied from the storage battery 19 to the device main body 1a, the control unit 14 performs output reduction control to reduce the output of the device main body 1a. To reduce the output of the device main body 1a, for example, the voltage of the power supplied to the device main body 1a may be reduced, or two step-up transformers with different output voltages may be provided in the device main body 1a and the power supply may be switched from the step-up transformer with the higher output power to the step-up transformer with the lower output voltage, the voltage may be reduced using an electrical circuit, or the relative average power may be reduced by changing the duty of the pulse output without changing the voltage. In addition, since the ion / ozone generator 1 generates ions and ozone by corona discharge, the output of the device main body 1a may be reduced by changing the distance between the discharge electrode and the counter electrode. Furthermore, since the device main body 1a is provided with the blower fan 11 for blowing ions and ozone, the output of this blower fan 11 may be reduced. In this manner, according to this embodiment, the power consumption of the storage battery can be reduced.

[0118] 3, the device main body 1a includes an ion / ozone generating section 10 and a blower fan 11, as well as an emotion information acquiring section 12 that acquires human emotion information, and a control section 14. Although not shown, the device main body 1a includes a CPU and memories such as ROM and RAM, and the control section 14 is constituted by the CPU and a control program stored in the memory. The emotion information acquisition section 12 is provided in the memory, which is provided with a music storage section 22a, an image storage section 24a, an audio storage section 30a, and the like, which will be described later.

[0119] There are two types of ions: disinfecting ions (hydroxyl radicals, etc.) and relaxing ions (negative ions). Relaxing ions (negative ions) have the effect of relieving stress and relaxing the body, improving blood circulation to make the skin beautiful, relieving fatigue and anxiety, and improving the quality of sleep. The ion / ozone generator 10 generates negative ions. Control unit 14 controls the output of device main body 1a based on the person's emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition unit 12.

[0120] As described above, the device main body 1a includes the power supply unit 17 that supplies power to the device main body 1a. As described above, the device main body 1a includes the ion / ozone generating unit 10 and the blower fan 11, and power is supplied to the ion / ozone generating unit 10 and the blower fan 11 from the power supply unit 17. The power supply unit 17 also supplies power to the music generating unit 22, image projection unit 24, sound generating unit 30, etc., which will be described later. The control unit 14 also controls the power supply to the power supply unit 17. When the power supply is stopped, the power supply to the ion / ozone generating unit 10 and the blower fan 11 is stopped, and the ion / ozone generating unit 10 and the blower fan 11 are stopped. The control unit 14 may control the power supply so as to operate the blower fan 11 at regular intervals even in a standby state (a state in which the ion / ozone generator 1 is not operating but the power is on). This makes it possible to prevent dust from entering through the outlet 3 and to blow away and remove dust adhering to the electrodes (the discharge electrode and the counter electrode) of the ion / ozone generator 10.

[0121] Thus, according to this embodiment, when the emotion information acquisition unit 12 acquires emotion information of a person, the control unit 14 performs output control on the device main body 1a based on the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12, so that ions and / or ozone can be generated based on the emotion of the person.

[0122] In addition, the emotion information is obtained by analyzing at least one of a person's facial expression, a tone of voice, the contents of a conversation, biological information, an odor emitted by a person, a person's movement speed, a person's behavior history, and a person's schedule. In this way, by analyzing at least one of the above-mentioned types of emotional information, emotional information is obtained, and based on the emotional information, optimal output control can be performed on the device main body 1a to generate ions and / or ozone.

[0123] In addition, when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12 is positive information, the control unit 14 sets the ion output of the ion / ozone generation unit 10 of the device main body 1a to a weak output, and when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12 is negative information, the control unit 14 sets the ion output of the ion / ozone generation unit 10 to a strong output.

[0124] Here, the emotional information includes positive information obtained when a person has positive emotions, and negative information obtained when a person has negative emotions. Positive emotions include, for example, "joy," "fun," "affection," "security," "gratitude," "curiosity," "happiness," "peace of mind," "honor," "respect," "closeness," "admiration," "motivation," "courage," "satisfaction," "expectation," "emotion," and "feeling of superiority," while negative emotions include, for example, "anger," "sorrow," "hatred," "anxiety," "impatience," "misfortune," "fear," "regret," "dissatisfaction," "regret," "disgust," "shame," "contempt," "jealousy," "guilt," "feeling of inferiority," "suffering," "sorrow," "agony," "resignation," and "despair."

[0125] When a person's emotions are negative, that is, when the emotional information is negative, the person's (user's) immune system weakens. For this reason, the ion / ozone generator 10 outputs a lot of ozone, which has a sterilizing effect, and ions, which have a relaxing effect. The output strength can be changed, for example, by changing the discharge voltage or discharge distance of the ion / ozone generating unit 10, by changing the duty ratio of the voltage applied to the discharge electrode, or by PWM control. In addition, ions are blown out from the blowing port 3 provided in the device body 1a, and a shielding member capable of shielding the blowing port 3 may be provided, and the ion output may be switched depending on the degree to which the blowing port is shielded by this shielding member.

[0126] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the ion output is set to a strong output, thereby enhancing the relaxation effect, and when a person's emotions are positive, the ion output is set to a weak output, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0127] In addition, when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12 is positive information, the control unit 14 sets the ozone output of the ion / ozone generation unit 10 of the device main body 1a to a weak output, and when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12 is negative information, the control unit 14 sets the ozone output of the ion / ozone generation unit 10 to a strong output.

[0128] When a person's emotions are negative, their immune system weakens. However, as described above, the sterilization effect can be increased by increasing the ozone output, and when a person's emotions are positive, power consumption can be reduced by decreasing the ozone output.

[0129] Furthermore, when the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition unit 12 is positive information, control unit 14 controls ion / ozone generation unit 10 of 1a to output ozone, and when the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition unit 12 is negative information, control unit 14 controls ion / ozone generation unit 10 to output ions.

[0130] According to such a configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, ions can be output to relax the person, and when the person's emotions are positive, ozone can be output to obtain a sterilization effect.

[0131] As described above, device main body 1a is equipped with blower fan 11 that blows the generated ions and / or ozone. Control unit 14 sets the output of blower fan 11 to low when emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition unit 12 is positive, and sets the output of blower fan 11 to high when emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition unit 12 is negative.

[0132] According to such a configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the output of the blower fan 11 is set to high, thereby allowing ions and / or ozone to be widely diffused, and when a person's emotions are positive, the output of the blower fan 11 is set to low, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0133] The device main body 1a also includes a music generating section 22 that generates music. The music generating section 22 includes a music storage section 22a that stores a plurality of pieces of music, and a speaker 22b that outputs the music. The music storage section 22a stores relaxing music such as the sound of a babbling river and the chirping of birds, music with frequencies of 432 and 528 Hz, and sounds and music with 1 / f fluctuation. When the emotional information acquired by emotional information acquisition section 12 is negative information, control section 14 generates relaxing music from music generation section 22. That is, control section 14 extracts relaxing music from music storage section 22a, and generates the relaxing music from speaker 22b.

[0134] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the relaxing effect can be increased by generating relaxing music.

[0135] The device main body 1a also includes a fragrance generating section 23 that generates a fragrance. The fragrance generating section 23 can be configured, for example, with a diffuser that stores a liquid having a fragrance. When the emotional information acquired by emotional information acquisition unit 12 is negative information, control unit 14 causes aroma generation unit 23 to generate an aromatic scent. When generating an aroma, for example, control unit 14 drives blower fan 11 to blow air to aroma generation unit 23, thereby causing the aroma to be blown out from outlet 3 of device main body 1a. An example of the aroma is phytoncide, which is the scent emitted by trees in the forest. Phytoncide has deodorizing, disinfecting and relaxing effects.

[0136] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, the aroma can be emitted, thereby enhancing the relaxing effect.

[0137] The device main body 1a also includes an image projection unit 24 that projects moving images and / or still images. The image projection unit 24 includes an image storage unit 24a that stores images such as moving images and / or still images, and a projection means 24b such as a projector. As images, for example, funny videos of small animals and funny still images such as photos of family and animals are stored in the image storage unit 24a. Then, when the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12 is negative information, control section 14 causes image projection section 24 to project a relaxing image. That is, control section 14 extracts a relaxing image from image storage section 24a, and causes projection means 24b to project the relaxing image onto a wall or the like.

[0138] According to this configuration, when a person's emotions are negative, a relaxing image is projected, thereby enhancing the visual relaxation effect.

[0139] Table 1 summarizes the control of the ion / ozone generating unit 10, the blower fan 11, the music generating unit 22, the scent generating unit 23 and the image projection unit 24 when a person's emotions are negative and positive. In Table 1, "◯" indicates that the music generation unit 22 generated music, the scent generation unit 23 generated a scent, and the image projection unit 24 projected an image.

[0140] [Table 1]

[0141] In this embodiment, the operations of the ion / ozone generation unit 10, the blower fan 11, the music generation unit 22, the fragrance generation unit 23 and the image projection unit 24 can be controlled based on emotion information, but the user may select and operate them. In this case, the device main body 1a may be provided with operation buttons for operating the ion / ozone generating unit 10, the blower fan 11, the music generating unit 22, the fragrance generating unit 23, and the image projection unit 24, and selection may be made using these operation buttons, or an operation app for operation may be installed in the external communication terminal 100 such as a smartphone, and selection may be made using this operation app. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, a communication unit 16 may be provided in the device main body 1a, and communication with the external communication terminal 100 may be made using this communication unit 16.

[0142] Also, as shown in FIG. 4, a management server 102 may be connected to a communication network 101 such as the Internet, and the past operation history of the ion / ozone generator 1 may be stored in the management server 102 via the communication network 101, so that the history can be viewed by an external communication terminal 100. Furthermore, an operation schedule of the ion / ozone generator 1 may be set in advance by the external communication terminal 100. In this case, when the user is at the location where the ion / ozone generator 1 is installed or in its vicinity, the external communication terminal 100 and the ion / ozone generator 1 may be able to directly transmit and receive data wirelessly, and when the user is away from the location where the ion / ozone generator 1 is installed, the external communication terminal 100 and the ion / ozone generator 1 may be able to transmit and receive data via the communication network 101.

[0143] Furthermore, device main body 1a is equipped with camera 25 capable of photographing a person's face, and first emotion information determination section 21 that determines emotion information by analyzing the expression on the person's face based on photographic data photographed by camera 25. A digital camera is used as camera 25. The first emotion information determination unit 21 analyzes facial expressions using, for example, emotion recognition AI. Emotion recognition AI is a system that uses artificial intelligence to read human emotions, and the process of making the emotion recognition AI recognize emotions is mainly carried out by deep learning. By using deep learning, in which the emotion recognition AI itself learns using given data as material, the artificial intelligence becomes able to recognize facial expressions and subtleties of voice that humans cannot capture. There are seven universal micro-expressions of human facial expressions, namely, "happiness," "contempt," "surprise," "anger," "fear," "sadness," and "disgust," and based on these, the first emotion information determination unit 21 analyzes the facial expression to obtain emotion information. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, by connecting the ion / ozone generator 1 to a communication network 101, a first emotion information determination unit that analyzes facial expressions may be provided in an API (Application Programming Interface) provider 105 in cooperation with the API.

[0144] According to this configuration, a person's facial expression is photographed by camera 25, and emotional information is determined by first emotion information determination section 21 analyzing the facial expression based on the photographed data, so that appropriate output control can be exercised on device main body 1a to generate ions and / or ozone.

[0145] Furthermore, the emotion information acquiring section 12 acquires emotion information as positive information when the human facial expression analyzed by the first emotion information determining section 21 is "happiness," "contempt," or "surprise," and acquires the emotion information as negative information when the human facial expression is "anger," "fear," "sadness," or "disgust." In this way, emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires the emotion information obtained by first emotion information determination section 21, and control section 14 exercises control over apparatus main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0146] In other words, when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12 is positive information, the ion output of the ion / ozone generation unit 10 of the device main body 1a is set to a weak output, and when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquisition unit 12 is negative information, the ion output of the ion / ozone generation unit 10 is set to a strong output. In addition, the control unit 14 may set the ozone output of the ion / ozone generating unit 10 of the device main body 1a to a weak output when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquiring unit 12 is positive information, and may set the ozone output of the ion / ozone generating unit 10 to a strong output when the emotion information acquired by the emotion information acquiring unit 12 is negative information.

[0147] Furthermore, the control unit 14 may cause the ion / ozone generating unit 10 to output ozone when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquiring unit 12 is positive information, and may cause the ion / ozone generating unit 10 to output ions when the emotional information acquired by the emotional information acquiring unit 12 is negative information. In addition, control unit 14 may set the output of blower fan 11 to low when the emotional information acquired by emotional information acquisition unit 12 is positive information, and may set the output of blower fan 11 to high when the emotional information acquired by emotional information acquisition unit 12 is negative information. Furthermore, when the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12 is negative information, control section 14 may cause music generation section 22 to generate relaxing music or scent generation section 23 to generate an aroma.

[0148] In this way, by distinguishing human emotional information into positive information and negative information, more appropriate output control can be performed on the device main body 1a to generate ions and / or ozone.

[0149] Also, a power button (power switch) 5 of the device main body 1a may be provided near the camera 25, and the camera 25 may capture a facial expression by pressing and holding the power button 5. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, (the lens of) the camera 25 may be disposed near the power button 5, and the camera 25 may capture an image by pressing and holding the power button 5. According to this configuration, the power button 5 of the device main body 1a can also be used as a shooting button for the camera 25, and by pressing and holding the power button 5, shooting time can be secured.

[0150] 2, a mirror display unit 26 capable of displaying almost the entire face of a person may be provided near the power button 5, and when an image is taken by the camera 25, almost the entire face may be displayed on the mirror display unit 26, so that the camera 25 can capture almost the entire face. The mirror display unit 26 may be a mirror, or may be a liquid crystal screen that displays an image taken by the camera 25. According to such a configuration, when a person's face is photographed by the camera 25, almost the entire area of ​​the person's face is reflected on the mirror display section 26, so that the camera 25 photographs almost the entire area of ​​the face, thereby improving the photographing accuracy.

[0151] In the above, the camera 25 is provided on the device body 1a, but as shown in Fig. 3, the camera 25a may be installed away from the device body 1a. In this case, the camera 25a can communicate with the device body 1a by wire or wirelessly. A network camera can be used as such a camera 25a. Furthermore, a plurality of cameras 25a may be prepared and installed, for example, at least one of the entrance, the washstand, and the dressing table, or may be installed in other rooms.

[0152] According to such a configuration, since the camera 25a is installed away from the device main body 1a, it is possible to capture images of people's faces when they pass by or use the device on a daily basis, thereby saving the trouble of taking images. In addition, by photographing the faces of the user and his / her family members with camera 25a and registering the image in device main body 1a, when someone other than family members visits the house, the face of the person can be photographed by camera 25a and the image can be transmitted to device main body 1a. By comparing the image with an image of the user and his / her family, it can be recognized that someone other than family members has visited the house, and the output of device main body 1a can be increased to increase the amount of ozone generated. In this way, infection control measures can be taken and the risk of infection can be reduced.

[0153] Also, instead of the camera 25 provided in the device body 1a, a camera 25b built into the external communication terminal 100 such as a smartphone may be used as a camera for capturing a person's facial expression. In this case, the external communication terminal 100 and the device body 1a can communicate wirelessly via the communication unit 16, and the captured data of the user's facial expression captured by the camera 25b using the external communication terminal 100 is transmitted in real time to the device body 1a. The captured data transmitted to the device body 1a is stored in the storage unit 25d of the camera 25, but a separate storage unit may be provided. In this case, the camera 25b may automatically capture a face image while the user is operating the external communication terminal 100, but only if the user agrees to this. Also, the user may operate the external communication terminal 100 to capture a facial expression with the camera 25b.

[0154] According to this configuration, when the external communication terminal 100 is used frequently, facial expressions can be captured easily.

[0155] Furthermore, the user may use the external communication terminal 100 to capture an image of his / her facial expression with the camera 25b, and the captured image data stored in the external communication terminal 100 may be transmitted to the device main body 1a. According to this configuration, the image of the face captured by the user can be used, thereby reducing the time and effort required for capturing images.

[0156] Moreover, instead of the camera 25 provided in the device body 1a, a camera 25c built into the communication robot 110 may be used as a camera for capturing a person's facial expression. In this case, the communication robot 110 and the device body 1a can communicate wirelessly via the communication unit 16, and the captured data of the facial expression captured by the camera 25c is transmitted to the device body 1a. The captured data transmitted to the device body 1a is stored in the memory unit 25d of the camera 25, but a separate memory unit may be provided.

[0157] According to such a configuration, the camera 25c built into the communication robot 110 captures an image of the user's face, thereby saving the user the trouble of taking an image by himself.

[0158] The cameras 25, 25a to 25c may also capture the facial expression of the user from the image screen when the user of the device main body 1a makes a video call in a remote conference or the like. According to such a configuration, the screen showing the image of the user can be used, thereby reducing the user's trouble.

[0159] Furthermore, facial expressions may be captured multiple times, ten or more times, at intervals of one second or less by cameras 25, 25a to 25c, and first emotion information determination section 21 may average the facial expressions captured multiple times to determine the facial expression mode, and may analyze the facial expression mode to determine emotion information. With this arrangement, the facial expressions captured by cameras 25, 25a to 25c are averaged, thereby improving the analytical precision of first emotion information determining section 21.

[0160] Furthermore, the device main body 1a includes an instruction unit 27 for instructing the user, and the instruction unit 27 instructs the user to stand still and look at the camera 25 when capturing a facial expression with the camera 25. This instruction may be given by voice, or by displaying characters or an image. When instructions are given by voice, the instruction unit 27 may be equipped with a speaker, or the speaker 22b of the music generation unit 22 may be used. When instructions are given by displaying characters or images, the characters may be displayed on the mirror display unit 26 constituted by the liquid crystal screen of the camera 25, or a separate display screen may be provided on the device main body 1a.

[0161] When the user moves, the camera 25 cannot capture a good image of the face due to blurring, but according to the above configuration, the instruction unit 27 instructs the user to stand still and look at the camera 25 when the camera 25 is to capture the facial expression, so that the camera 25 can capture the image reliably.

[0162] Moreover, the device main body 1a is equipped with a voice generating unit 30 that generates voice for the user, a reply acquiring unit 31 that acquires the reply content and / or tone of voice with which the user replies to the speech generated from the voice generating unit 30, and a second emotion information determining unit 32 that determines emotion information of a person by analyzing the reply content and / or tone of voice acquired by the reply acquiring unit 31. The reply acquiring unit 31 is provided in the memory of the device main body 1a. The voice generating unit 30 includes a voice storage unit 30a that stores a plurality of voices, and a speaker 30b that outputs the voices. The voice storage unit 30a is provided in the memory of the device main body 1a. The voice storage unit 30a stores words to be spoken to the user (such as "Welcome back," "How are you," "Are you tired," "How are you feeling," etc.) as voice information. The speaker 30b is used in combination with the speaker 22b of the music generating unit 22, but may be provided separately.

[0163] Second emotion information determination unit 32 analyzes the reply content and / or tone of voice acquired by reply acquisition unit 31 to determine emotion information of the person. For example, Empath Web API (manufactured by Empath, Inc.) can be used as this second emotion information determination unit 32. Empath Web API is a program that uses a unique algorithm to determine a state of mood from physical features such as voice, and determines emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and mood swings based on a voice database of tens of thousands of people. Empath Web API acquires "normal," "anger," "happiness," "sadness," and "energy" from the voice as values ​​from 0 to 50, analyzes the person's emotion, and determines emotion information.

[0164] Such analysis of reply content and / or tone of voice using the Empath Web API may be performed in conjunction with an API (Application Programming Interface) and through the API. Furthermore, the voice generating unit 30 that generates voices for the user may be provided in the device main body 1a, or may be provided separately in front of the communication robot 110, an entranceway, or a mirror.

[0165] According to such a configuration, emotion information can be determined from the content and / or tone of voice of the user's reply without causing the user any trouble.

[0166] The second emotion information determining section 32 may determine emotion information by comparing emotion keywords registered in advance in a storage section such as the voice storage section 30a with the content of the user's reply, or may determine emotion information from the user's monologue, humming, or singing. The second emotion information determining section 32 may determine that the user is in a good mood when humming or singing and determine this as positive information, and may determine that the user is calm when talking to themselves or speaking their thoughts or ideas and determine this as negative information.

[0167] The second emotion information determination section 32 may determine the emotion information as negative information when the tone of the reply voice is low, and may determine the emotion information as positive information when the tone of the reply voice is high. Also, when there is no reply, the emotion information may be determined as negative information. For example, when the tone of the reply voice of "I'm home" is low in response to the voice of "Welcome home" emitted by the voice generation section 30, the emotion information may be determined as negative information.

[0168] Furthermore, when the tone of the reply voice is low, the second emotion information determination unit 32 can determine that the user is saying "depressed" or "not in good spirits" as negative information, and when the tone of the reply voice is high, the user is saying "energetic", "brisk", or "clear" as positive information. In addition, the user's natural voice tone may be registered in advance in a storage unit such as the voice storage unit 30a, and the emotion information determination unit 32 may determine whether the voice tone is higher or lower than the registered voice tone to determine the emotion information.

[0169] The control unit 14 controls the device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above. With this configuration, the control unit 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a depending on the pitch of the user's voice.

[0170] Furthermore, the device main body 1a may be provided with a voice recognition unit 35 equipped with a microphone 35a, and when the microphone 35a picks up the sound of the user coughing or sneezing and the voice recognition unit 35 determines that it is a cough or a sneeze, the second emotion information determination unit 32 may determine that the sound is negative information. Furthermore, the voice recognition unit 35 may count the number of coughs and sneezes, and determine positive or negative information depending on the number of times. Furthermore, control unit 14 may control the operation mode (strength of ion and / or ozone output) for the next day according to the number of coughs and sneezes per day. In this case, for example, if the number of coughs and sneezes is once or more per day, the operation mode may be set to strong mode. In this way, infection can be prevented, and the possibility of the onset of a cold can be detected and sterilized. When performing such control, it is not essential that second emotion information determination unit 32 determines emotion information, and control unit 14 may adjust the strength of ion and / or ozone output based on the number of coughs and sneezes of the user captured by microphone 35a.

[0171] Furthermore, the voice generating section 30 generates voice to ask the user about their physical condition and mood and encourage them to reply, and if the reply content acquired by the reply acquiring section 31 is good, the second emotion information determining section 32 determines the emotion information to be positive information, and if the reply content is bad, the second emotion information determining section 32 determines the emotion information to be negative information. In this way, the second emotion information determining section 32 infers the person's condition from the contents of the conversation, that is, the voice generated by the voice generating section 30 to the user, and the contents of the reply to that, and can determine the reply as negative information if the reply is "tired" or "tough", and can determine the reply as positive information if the reply is "fun", "happy", "energetic", or "not so-so".

[0172] According to such a configuration, the voice generating section prompts the user to reply directly according to his / her physical condition or mood, so that the control section 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a based on the content of the reply.

[0173] In addition, the device main body 1a is capable of communicating with a wearable device 120 carried by the user, and is equipped with a third emotion information determination unit 40 that analyzes the user's condition based on the user's biological information measured by the wearable device 120 and determines emotion information. Furthermore, the emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires emotion information determined by third emotion information determination section 40. Examples of the biological information include the user's electrocardiogram, pulse rate, blood pressure, and the like. Based on the emotion information determined by third emotion information determination section 40, control section 14 performs control on apparatus main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0174] The third emotion information determination section 40 may determine the emotion information as negative information when the sympathetic nervous system is dominant, and may determine the emotion information as positive information when the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant. In this case, the third emotion information determination section 40 estimates the ratio of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves from the electrocardiogram waveform. The electrocardiogram waveform consists of P, QRS, T, and U waves, and in a normal electrocardiogram, the same waveforms appear periodically. The interval from R to R is called RRI (R-RInterval), and is a necessary element for calculating the stress index. When the sympathetic nervous system is activated, the heart rate increases and the RRI shortens; conversely, when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, the heart rate decreases and the RRI lengthens.

[0175] When the RRI of an electrocardiogram is frequency-analyzed to produce a power spectrum, attention is focused on two regions: LF (Low Frequency) and HF (High Frequency). In this case, the LF value is the component from 0.05 Hz to 0.15 Hz, and the HF value is the component from 0.15 Hz to 0.40 Hz. The LF component increases when either the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system is activated, whereas the HF component increases only when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. In other words, by looking at the ratio of the two, LF / HF, we can determine that a high number indicates stress and a low number indicates relaxation.

[0176] In this way, the wearable device 120 can be used to determine the user's emotion information, thereby reducing costs. Furthermore, because third emotion information determination section 40 determines emotion information based on the user's biological information, without the user having to operate wearable device 120 himself, it is possible to save time and effort. In addition, since the device main body 1a can communicate with the wearable device 120, when the wearable device 120 measures biological information that the user's heart rate has increased, the third emotion information determination section 40 infers that the user has sweated and exercised, and therefore the control section 14 can control the ion / ozone generation section 10 of the device main body 1a to increase the ozone output in order to eliminate the sweaty odor. Furthermore, the third emotion information determination section 40 determines the emotion information as negative information when the sympathetic nervous system is dominant, and determines the emotion information as positive information when the parasympathetic nervous system is dominant, so that the control section 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a in accordance with the user's condition. Furthermore, the user can remotely operate the device main body 1a using the wearable device 120 to fill the room with ozone in advance, thereby efficiently deodorizing the room when the user returns home. In addition, when a user who has been exercising while wearing the wearable device 120 approaches the device main body 1a, the third emotion information determination unit 40 infers that the user has been exercising, and the control unit 14 can control the device main body 1a to increase the ozone output.

[0177] Furthermore, the third emotion information determination section 40 may determine the emotion information as positive information when the user removes the wearable device 120. When the user removes the wearable device 120, the third emotion information determination section 40 determines that the user is no longer restrained and is relaxed, and determines the emotion information to be positive information. Therefore, the control section 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a in accordance with the user's condition.

[0178] In addition, the wearable device 120 may measure the user's pulse by pressing and holding the power button 5 provided on the device main body 1a. In this way, the wearable device 120 measures the user's pulse by pressing and holding the power button 5, thereby saving the user's trouble.

[0179] Furthermore, device main body 1a may be capable of communicating with pedometer (registered trademark) 121 carried by the user, and may include a fourth emotion information determination section 41 that determines emotion information by analyzing the user's level of fatigue based on the number of steps and traveled distance of the user measured by pedometer (registered trademark) 121. The emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires the emotion information determined by fourth emotion information determination section 41. Based on the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12, control section 14 performs control on device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above. The pedometer (registered trademark) 121 may be built into the wearable device 120, or may be a separate entity.

[0180] According to such a configuration, the control unit 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a in accordance with the user's actions.

[0181] Furthermore, device main body 1a is equipped with an odor sensor 45 that detects the odor emitted by the user, and a fifth emotion information determination section 46 that determines the emotion information by analyzing the user's stress state based on the odor detected by odor sensor 45. The emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires the emotion information determined by fifth emotion information determination section 46. Based on the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12, control section 14 performs control on device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0182] Humans release gases from within the body through the skin. These gases range from odorless gases such as carbon dioxide to gases that have an odor that you and others can detect. It is known that these gases change depending on physical condition, aging, and food. In recent years, it has been proven that mental states such as tension and stress also affect odors. When the collected odor components were analyzed using special analytical equipment, it was found that two sulfur compounds, dimethyl trisulfide and allyl mercaptan, are the main components of the "stress odor." It has been revealed that the odor that many people have experienced in stressful situations such as interviews and meetings, and that is different from the odor of sweat, is made up of the two sulfur compounds mentioned above.

[0183] The odor sensor 45 detects sulfur compound-based substances which are the main components of the "stress odor", and the fifth emotion information determination unit 46 analyzes the stress state of the user based on the detection data detected by the odor sensor 45 and determines emotion information. Therefore, the user's stress state can be analyzed based on the odor emitted by the user to determine emotion information, so that the control unit 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a.

[0184] Furthermore, the odor sensor 45 may detect the odor emitted by the user by pressing (or holding down) the power button 5 provided on the device main body 1a. In this way, by pressing the power button 5, the odor sensor 45 detects the odor emitted by the user, thereby saving the user time and effort.

[0185] Furthermore, as described above, since the communication robot 110 and the device main body 1a can communicate wirelessly, the communication robot 110 may be provided with an odor sensor 45a instead of the odor sensor 45 provided in the device main body 1a. Detection data of the odor detected by the odor sensor 45a is transmitted to the device main body 1a, and the fifth emotion information determiner 46 estimates the user's stress state and determines emotion information.

[0186] According to such a configuration, the communication robot 110 can move autonomously to approach the user and detect the odor emitted by the user, thereby saving the user trouble.

[0187] As described above, the device main body 1a is provided with a blower fan 11, but this blower fan 11 may also serve as a suction fan that draws odors into the device main body 1a, or a separate suction fan may be provided in the device main body 1a. When blower fan 11 is used also as a suction fan, blower fan 11 may be rotated forward to blow out the generated ions and / or ozone, and rotated backward to suck in odors. When blower fan 11 and suction fan are provided separately, a single motor may be provided to rotate these fans, and the driving force of the motor may be transmitted to blower fan 11 and suction fan, respectively, via gears or the like. 2, device main body 1a is provided with suction hole 55 near power button 5, which sucks in odors and guides them to odor sensor 45. Note that, instead of providing suction hole 55, odors may be sucked in through intake ports 4, 4 (see FIG. 2) provided in device main body 1a.

[0188] According to this configuration, a large amount of odor can be sucked in by sucking in the odor through the suction hole 55 with the suction fan or blower fan 11, improving the detection accuracy of the odor sensor 45. Also, since the suction hole 55 is provided near the power button 5, pressing the power button 5 can reliably suck in the odor through the suction hole 55. Furthermore, when an odor is detected by the odor sensor 45, the ozone output of the ion / ozone generating unit 10 of the device main body 1a can be increased to eliminate the odor. In addition, since the blower fan 11 serves as both the blower fan and the suction fan, there is no need to provide a separate fan, which contributes to reducing costs.

[0189] Moreover, device main body 1a is equipped with a movement detection section 47 that detects the presence or absence of a movement of the user and the movement speed, and a sixth emotion information determination section 48 that analyzes the user's movement state based on the presence or absence of the user's movement and the movement speed detected by the movement detection section 47, and determines emotion information. Sixth emotion information determination section 48 determines emotion information as positive information when the user's motion speed is fast and active, and determines emotion information as negative information when the user is not moving or the motion speed is slow. The emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires the emotion information determined by sixth emotion information determination section . Based on the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12, control section 14 performs control on device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0190] With this configuration, the sixth emotion information determination section 48 determines emotion information based on the presence or absence of a user movement and the movement speed; in other words, if the user's movement speed is fast, the sixth emotion information determination section 48 determines it as positive information, and if the user is not moving or the movement speed is slow, it determines it as negative information; therefore, based on this emotion information, the control section 14 can perform output control on the device main body 1a.

[0191] Furthermore, the motion detection section 47 may detect the presence or absence of a user's motion and the motion speed by thermography. According to such a configuration, since the presence or absence of a user's motion and the motion speed are detected by thermography, more appropriate output control can be performed on the device main body 1a. In addition, since the thermograph can also measure the user's body temperature, if the body temperature is high (e.g., 37.5°C or higher), the ozone output of the ion / ozone generating unit 10 can be increased to prevent the spread of infectious diseases within the installation space.

[0192] In addition, an external communication terminal 100 such as a smartphone carried by a user and the device main body 1a can communicate wirelessly via the communication unit 16, and an acceleration sensor 47a built into the external communication terminal 100 may be used instead of the motion detection unit 47 provided in the device main body 1a. According to such a configuration, since the acceleration sensor 47a built in the external communication terminal 100 can be used to obtain information on the user's emotions, it is possible to reduce costs.

[0193] In addition, the wearable device 120 carried by the user and the device main body 1a can communicate wirelessly via the communication unit 16, and the motion detection unit 47 provided in the device main body 1a may be replaced by an acceleration sensor 47b built into the wearable device 120. According to this configuration, emotion information of the user can be obtained using acceleration sensor 47b built into wearable device 120, thereby enabling costs to be reduced.

[0194] Furthermore, the motion detection unit 47 may detect the presence or absence of a user's motion based on a plurality of images of the user captured by the cameras 25, 25a to 25c. In this case, the user is captured a plurality of times by the cameras 25, 25a to 25c, and the captured image data is stored in the storage unit 25d built into the camera 25. Then, the motion detection unit 47 detects the presence or absence of a user's motion based on the plurality of captured image data stored in the storage unit 25d. According to such a configuration, the presence or absence of movement can be easily determined by capturing images of the user several times using the cameras 25, 25a to 25c.

[0195] The device main body 1a also includes a seventh emotion information determination unit 49 that analyzes the user's behavioral patterns based on the behavior history and / or schedule stored in a schedule book of an external communication terminal 100, which is the user's smartphone, personal computer (PC), or the like and is capable of communicating with the device main body, and determines emotion information of the user. Furthermore, the seventh emotion information determination section 49 determines the emotion information to be negative information in the case of a behavioral history that is expected to result in fatigue or tension, and determines the emotion information to be positive information in the case of a behavioral history that is expected to result in relaxation or enjoyment. Furthermore, emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires emotion information determined by seventh emotion information determination section 49. Based on the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12, control section 14 performs control on device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0196] The seventh emotion information determination unit 49 can determine, in the case of a presentation or speech, that this is negative information since the user is nervous; in the case of exercise or training, that this is negative information since the user is tired; in the case of a beauty salon, a hot spring, or a hobby, that this is positive information since the user is relaxed; and in the case of a lot of overtime work, that this is negative information since the user is tired both physically and mentally. According to such a configuration, the control unit 14 can perform appropriate output control on the device main body 1a in accordance with the user's actions. In addition, since it is possible to predict whether the user's emotions will be positive or negative based on the schedule for that day, the device main body 1a can be operated in advance before the user returns home to fill the room with necessary substances (ions, ozone, fragrance substances) and play appropriate music. The device main body 1a may be remotely operated by the external communication terminal 100 to operate it before returning home.

[0197] Furthermore, when the user is using external communication terminal 100 after an appointment is over, photographed data of the facial expression captured by camera 25b is transmitted in real time to device main body 1a, this photographed data is stored in storage section 25d, and the facial expression of the person is analyzed based on the photographed data by first emotion information determination section 21. Then, first emotion information determination section 21 determines whether the facial expression is positive information or negative information. Emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires emotion information determined by first emotion information determination section 21. Based on the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12, control section 14 performs control on device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0198] Moreover, instead of or in addition to the action history stored in the schedule book, the content posted to the SNS may be used as the action history. For example, seventh emotion information determination section 49 estimates and determines emotion information from the content posted on SNS as follows. If the post content is about something that made you feel sad, lonely, or disappointed, it can be determined to be negative information, and if the post content is about something that made you feel happy or fun, it can be determined to be positive information. In addition, if the post content is "the food is delicious," it can be determined as positive information since it is relaxing, and if the post content is about a tourist spot or out and about, it can also be determined as positive information since it is relaxing.

[0199] According to this configuration, even if there is no action history and / or schedule in the schedule book, the emotion information of the user can be determined.

[0200] Furthermore, after a plan stored in the schedule book is finished, the external communication terminal 100 may inquire about the user's condition by generating a voice to the user, and the seventh emotion information determination section 49 may determine the emotion information of the user based on the action history and / or the plan stored in the schedule book and the user's reply. When the external communication terminal 100 inquires of the user about his / her condition after the schedule is over, for example, the user may be inquired as to whether he / she felt tired after exercising or whether he / she felt relaxed by releasing stress. The reply content and / or tone of voice of the user replying to the inquiry content from the external communication terminal 100 is acquired by the reply acquisition unit 31. Then, the seventh emotion information determination section 49 determines the emotion as negative information when the subject is tired, and determines the emotion as positive information when the subject is relaxed. Emotion information acquisition section 12 acquires the emotion information determined by seventh emotion information determination section 49. Based on the emotion information acquired by emotion information acquisition section 12, control section 14 performs control on device main body 1a as shown in Table 1 above.

[0201] According to this configuration, after a plan stored in the schedule book is completed, the external communication terminal 100 inquires about the user's status, so that the user's current status can be accurately grasped.

[0202] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the shape of the device body 1a and the structure of the ion / ozone generating unit 10 are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments may be combined in part or in whole, or a part of the configuration of one of the above-described embodiments may be omitted, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
