Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not consider changing the surrounding environment of a moving user based on their emotions, limiting their ability to adapt to conditions such as rain or sunlight exposure.
Innovation Solution
A control system and method that estimates a user's emotion and controls a moving object to adjust their surroundings, using a combination of sensors and a server to track the user and provide environmental changes like shelter from rain or sunlight.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed device such as a beach parasol is used to control the surrounding environment, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot track a moving user and adapt to changing environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static beach parasol into a dynamic moving object (drone) that can actively track and follow the user's movement. The drone adjusts its position in real-time based on user location, enabling continuous environmental control (sun/rain protection) throughout the user's movement path rather than being confined to a fixed location.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary control system that processes user position data and coordinates the drone's movement. This intermediary layer manages the complexity by separating the tracking function from the environmental control function, allowing the drone to respond appropriately to changing conditions while maintaining system manageability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing technologies are used that do not consider user emotion, then the system is simple, but it cannot provide personalized environmental adjustments based on user comfort needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates emotion detection through cameras and image processing to analyze user expressions. This feedback mechanism allows the drone to sense the user's emotional state (e.g., discomfort from sun or rain) and automatically adjust its behavior, such as changing position or deploying protective features, to improve user comfort based on real-time emotional feedback.
Solution Approach 2:
The drone system operates autonomously by detecting user emotion and independently making decisions about environmental adjustments. Rather than requiring manual control, the system self-adjusts its position and protective measures based on the detected emotional state of the user, providing personalized comfort without direct user intervention.

AI summary
[Object] To provide a control system, a control method, and a storage medium through which a moving object can change a surrounding environment of a user depending on an emotion of the user.[Solution] Provided is a control system including: an estimation unit that estimates an emotion of a user; and a moving object controller that controls a moving object to change a surrounding environment of the user depending on the estimated emotion.
