Robot Terminal Emotional Interaction via Mobile Location Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current robot systems lack the ability to interact with users emotionally and provide personalized services, as they are disconnected from location-based services and cannot share or respond to user emotions effectively.
Innovation Solution
A system that links a mobile communication terminal with a robot terminal using location information and surrounding condition data to determine and control robot behavior, enabling emotional interaction and convenience through location-based services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a robot is connected to a network, then the robot can display information and send/receive messages, but the robot cannot emotionally interact with or share user experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mobile communication terminal (smartphone) as an intermediary device that bridges the robot and the user's emotional state. The terminal captures location information and surrounding condition data, then transmits this information to the robot, enabling the robot to infer and respond to user emotions without directly accessing them. This intermediary approach allows emotional interaction while maintaining the robot's limited processing capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a robot uses location information from a mobile communication terminal, then the robot can provide personalized interaction services, but the system requires linking multiple devices and processing location data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the mobile communication terminal serve multiple functions: it acts as a location sensor, an emotional state detector (through surrounding condition analysis), and a communication bridge between the user and robot. By consolidating these functions into a single universal device that users already possess, the system achieves personalized service capability without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If related art robots send or receive movies with remote-control function by linking with cellular phones, then basic communication is enabled, but various services capable of interacting with individual users by sharing emotions are still needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the robot to autonomously determine user emotional states by processing location information and surrounding condition data received from the mobile terminal. The robot independently analyzes this data to infer emotions and initiates appropriate interaction services without requiring explicit user commands. This self-service approach simplifies operation while enabling sophisticated emotional interaction capabilities.
