Display Control Device for Robot Emotional Parameter Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies for robots that simulate living beings lack effective methods to display and analyze the emotional and personality parameters related to their gestures and interactions with users.
Innovation Solution
A display control device and system that acquire parameter values related to a robot's gestures and interactions, generate aggregate data over a target period, and display this data to users, allowing for the visualization of emotional and personality changes over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If robot emotional and personality parameters are tracked and displayed, then user understanding and interaction quality improve, but device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the robot's parameters into distinct categories (emotional parameters and personality parameters) and processes them separately through dedicated acquisition units. This segmentation allows the system to manage complex data types in an organized manner, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive information tracking.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a display control device as an intermediary component between the robot and the user. This mediator acquires parameter values from the robot, processes the data, and presents it in a comprehensible format, thereby simplifying the interaction and reducing the information loss without requiring the user to directly interface with the complex robot systems.
2Loss of information
If detailed parameter data is collected and displayed over time, then user understanding of robot behavior improves, but data processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the display control device continuously acquire and store parameter values in a structured format over time. This pre-processing and organization of data ensures that when users request information, the data is already prepared and can be displayed efficiently, reducing the processing time at the moment of query while maintaining detailed information records.
Data Source
AI summary
In a terminal device, a control unit acquires a parameter value that is related to a robot executing a gesture according to an event, the parameter value changing according to the event. The control unit generates aggregate data of the acquired parameter value in a target period. The control unit causes a display unit to display the generated aggregate data.
