RU2617918C2 - Method to form person's image considering psychological portrait characteristics obtained under polygraph control - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: satisfaction of human life necessities.

SUBSTANCE: to forming the person's image, text, sound and visual data bases of person's autobiography are formed. The person is interviewed to create his/her psychological portrait. Databases formation is monitored by polygraph sensors attached to the person under test, and if a piece of false information is detected, it shall be repeated. Databases are formed for different human states, determined with due regard to his psychological portrait. A knowledge base about the tested person is formed, which includes all the generated databases, and is sent to the server.

EFFECT: formation of the most reliable human image, capable of pseudo-personal communication with the interlocutor, taking into account the possible state of image, chosen from the results obtained using a psychological portrait.

Description

The invention relates to the satisfaction of the vital needs of a person in terms of communication with another person, animal or their images.

More than half of the Russian population are of working age - these are children and the elderly. Many of them suffer from loneliness, which makes their life uncomfortable. Such people try to weaken loneliness by communicating with the animal, but not everyone has the opportunity to have some kind of animal, and in addition, the animal is an unintelligent partner, which leads to a small satisfaction of the need to compensate for loneliness.

From the prior art there are many methods and systems relating to communication with various images of people and animals. Toys are made for children, but in the initial period of childhood, when the intellect of children has not yet woken up, passive communication with the toy has little effect on their development.

There are intellectual toys, such as Ferby. Ferby is an electronic talking robot toy. Appeared on American shelves in the 1998 Christmas season and that Christmas became the best-selling toy (See https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferby). In the patent US 6149490 (A) - 2000-11-21 such a very compact interactive toy is described, demonstrating imitation of high life abilities and virtual intellectual interaction with its user. A toy can be an image of small animals, like a creature with a fur coating and many moving parts of the body that are very precisely controlled and coordinated in such a way as to provide the toy with some maneuverability. The toy uses touch sensors that control the movements of body parts in response to the perceived signals of their inputs. Sensors also allow multiple toys to interact with each other. Parts of the body are driven by a single engine, which is economical in terms of its energy needs, given the large number of different movements incorporated into the toy program. In addition, it is a reverse engine, so that parts of the body of the toy can be moved in a non-cyclic manner. The microprocessor that controls the movements of body parts has a pseudo-personal communication program with speech recognition and synthesis. The toy can remember the name of the interlocutor, store in memory the previous results of communication with him, show joy, sadness, resentment and even refuse to communicate with the user. The disadvantage of this toy is the pseudo-intelligence of a child of preschool age, so when he enters school, the child loses interest in this toy, although it is uncomfortable with a lack of communication and a feeling of loneliness.

It is difficult to replace a pet with a robot. After all, a cat does not just catch mice, but a dog guards the house. They are loyal friends who give owners communication and love. But progress has already gone too far, and now absolutely everything around us is subjected to robotization right up to the vacuum cleaner (see Markov D. Who will replace Murka and Barbosa? // Amazing next. - 2014, No. 17).

Scientists have created a Pleo dinosaur robot. The American company Ugobe made it look like a baby camarasaurus (four-legged herbivorous dinosaur) of one week old. Pleo's interactive toy learns based on the events surrounding it. The features of the family that sheltered his family are gradually entered into her database, and this forms a unique character.

Another variation of the robot friend is the Japanese Belek Paro. The cub of the seal was taken as a sample of the device, because these animals are recognized as one of the most touching. Paro reacts to the actions of people: if he is praised and stroked, he will be delighted, and if hit, he will be frightened. Five built-in sensors help him behave as if he were alive - wag his tail, imitate the cry of a seal, react to temperature, touch, light voice and the position of surrounding objects. In addition, Paro is involved in the treatment of elderly patients. It helps reduce pressure, the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, increases the body's resistance and mood.

Unlike live cats and dogs, Paro does not bite, does not scratch, does not tolerate bacteria and does not cause allergies. The desire to squeeze this miracle of technology brings older people back to life. Future generations of interactive pet robots will have a realistic look, a simulation of body heat and more advanced artificial intelligence.

British researchers have found that after communicating with a robot vacuum cleaner, a person has an emotional attachment to him. A person gives the robot a name and duplicates the control using the remote control with voice instructions in the most favorable form. So, soon our pets will be completely different ...

Older people usually have rich video, background and photo archives, so they try to brighten up loneliness and lack of communication by enumerating records or photos of relatives, friends and acquaintances. But this is a passive way of communicating with the image of a loved one, and I want to ask the image a question and get an answer from him. And older people imitate pseudo-active communication, asking the image a question out loud, and constructing a possible answer out loud based on the mental characteristics of the image that they know. The trouble is that such a practice leads to the appearance and development of a mental illness in them of a loud conversation with oneself, which is regarded by people around as a manifestation of senile dementia.

An unexpected solution to the problem of loneliness, which is often experienced by many people in old age, was proposed by young inventors of the capital (see Zhukov S. Hello, I - Lexi. // Rossiyskaya Gazeta Nedelya. - 2015, No. 97). They came up with and created Lexi, an interlocutor robot, for such people. An invention can be a good friend - you can not only discuss the latest news with him, but also ask him for help.

The robot does not look like a human. It looks like a black ball, no larger than a rubber ball, which is used to play a bouncer in childhood. But a smart ball stuffed with electronics - a video camera, microphone, loudspeaker and all kinds of sensors. It works from a conventional outlet, like many household robots, independently connecting to the electric network as the batteries discharge. The first time you turn it on, you must first configure it. How exactly - the robot will explain itself. It will offer to install a free mobile application on the smartphone, with which it will connect itself to the wireless or wired Internet. In the future, you don’t have to do this either - it will be enough to say hello to him. This is a skilled and understanding interlocutor, more “advanced” than the popular Tamagotchi in the 90s (patent DE 29718358 from 1998-03-26), which required care from the owner, which then really surprised people. Lexi is capable of more. He not only speaks, but also expresses his emotions. For example: if you put it on the windowsill, after a few hours, he will say: I am cold. Did the owner forget about him? The robot may be offended. The illumination will tell about his state of mind: it glows red - offended or even offended, the green lighted up, which means that everything is fine, the mood is fine.

The creators managed to “revive” the robot by introducing two technologies. The first is a virtual interlocutor. In a conversation with a person, Lexi's “brain” responds to keywords and provides suitable answers. The second - speech recognition - helps to understand what they are saying.

Once in a specific person, Lexi will remember the interests of the owner and will offer topics for conversation himself. For example, it will tell news from the world of politics or sports that interest its owner. He himself downloads them from the Internet. From there he learns the situation on the roads and tells the owner about it. Over morning coffee, he will inform you of emails received and remind you of your friends' birthdays. It may even call an ambulance and call the host’s friends. Unless, of course, do not forget to enter their numbers in the base of the robot. Lexi is unlikely to replace gadgets, but it can be an alternative for older people who do not know how or do not want to use them. Many pensioners are conservative, they will wait for the news to be released to find out the weather for tomorrow. The robot will notify them at any time.

The device will also help them pass the time merrily: with Lexi you can play in the city, naval battle or a game of chess. True, he himself does not know how to move pieces yet, but he is able to make a move with the help of his master.

Scientists from many countries have long been trying to create virtual friends for single people. For example, a therapeutic robot appeared in Japan. In fact, this is a soft toy that can replace a pet. She wags her tail, responds to her name, opens and closes her eyes. In general, just like living. Such robots are especially popular in nursing homes, where getting a cat or dog is very problematic. The Japanese came up with chairs that will help older people overcome the suffering of loneliness (Lenin A. Lonely Japanese will warm the chair. // Rossiyskaya Gazeta. - 2015, No. 73). The original chair is more like a huge human doll with a good-natured face and soft hugs. Deciding to sit on it is right on the lap of a good-natured, healthy man. The doll has a checkered hat and an apron, her hands are of a decent length and can embrace any person, even a sumoist. The development of the brand book of the product helped to find the most interesting and suitable name, which the manufacturing company emphasized. He was called the "chair of calm." The representative of UniCare, which came up with such an unusual chair, said that “... the novelty helps to feel protected. Everyone can use this chair, but it is designed specifically for older people who feel lonely. " The Japanese manufacturer also announced other inventions designed to help older people. Among them is a doll that reminds its owners when it is necessary to take the next batch of medicines or go to the toilet. This is especially true for single people. They can talk with the doll and hug it.

In America, lives an analogue of Lexi - Jibo. He also communicates with people, reports news and gives advice. In Europe there is an analogue - Social robot (see patent EP 2492850 (A4) from 2013-04-03). A social robot is a robot that can autonomously and semi-autonomously actively interact and communicate with various people in public places (see https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Robot).

Social robot for rehabilitation - a telepresence device designed to meet social needs (for example, the need for communication or the need to work remotely (remotely) for people with limited mobility, people with disabilities). Social robots for rehabilitation are elements of social robotics, designed to involve people with disabilities in public life (work, study, communication, entertainment).

The social robot contains an artificial vision system consisting of webcams, a speech recognition system including three microphones, an expression system consisting of an LED matrix formed by many LEDs, an LED status indicator and eyelids, in the form of crescents connected to different gear wheels, which interact with appropriate servos using transmission wheels, a speech synthesis system consisting of speakers, a system for detecting obstacles, which is formed by trazvukovyh sensors and motion system formed by the two driving wheels.

However, all these imitators of images represent abstract models that slightly reduce the feeling of loneliness due to the lack of personal characteristics, which gives the image image formation, since the main information in the human brain comes from visual perception.

In the patent Ru 523925 (C2) of 11/17/2011, there is given a method of forming a collection of images in the form of a collage using decorative elements, the color of which depends on the images being formed, containing the steps:

receive an image from a collection of images;

configure the formation parameters;

analyze the distribution of colors in local areas of the image and collage;

modify the image by adding decorative elements, the appearance of which depends on the distribution of colors in the local areas of the image and the collage, modify the collage by changing the appearance of decorative elements on it;

determining the location of the modified image on the modified collage;

form a sequence of frames showing the appearance of the modified image on the collage.

This method is closest to our proposal and adopted as a prototype.

The aim of the invention is the computer formation of the most reliable human image, capable of pseudo-personal communication with the interlocutor, taking into account the possible state of the image selected from the results obtained using the psychological portrait, which gives the image some personality and the ability to more than compensate for the lack of communication of the interlocutor and weaken his sense loneliness.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the server of the social network of pseudo-personal communication, where pre-formed images are stored, who wished to leave them people, is connected to a source computer equipped with a webcam, microphone, loudspeaker and polygraph sensors formed by software in the memory of the source computer, and equipped with a program for recognizing and synthesizing speech, a synchronous program for synthesizing dynamic images, a system of answers to questions, a formulation system questions along the course of pseudo-personal communication, a system for the formation of a psychological portrait and a general control program. To form an image of pseudo-personal communication, a person must appear at the point where the source computer is installed, join the polygraph sensors, initialize the system, giving his first name, middle name, last name, and actively interact with it, answering the questions posed without distorting the information, and also fulfilling the set task system.

First, the test person tells his detailed autobiography with a mention of all his relatives, friends, acquaintances, a wish with whom of them and their relatives, friends, acquaintances he wants to communicate with, and with whom not, and an assessment of his psychophysiological characteristics. If a person distorts information, the polygraph records a change in the physiological characteristics of a person, and the control program informs him of the detection of distortion of information, and therefore requires repeating the stated fact, starting from the moment of distorting the information, and then repeating this stated fact for the third time. The speech recognition system generates three versions of the texts of the stated fact, selects keywords, compares them textually, separating the two closest texts, of which the text that is the latest in appearance for the final message is selected as the final one. The text of the final message is entered into the Autobiography library of the text data base. The Autobiography music library for the audio database and the Autobiography video library for the visual database are synchronously formed.

Then a person is asked a series of test questions to create his psychological portrait, the answers to which are controlled by a polygraph, recognized and entered into the library “Psychological portrait” of the text data base. The Psychological Portrait library for the audio database and the Psychological Portrait video library for the visual database are synchronously formed. Based on the results of creating a psychological portrait, a decreasing histogram of the feelings of the person being tested is constructed and three pairs of the most likely positive feelings are selected for communication with the future interlocutor (negative and ambivalent feelings are generally excluded from consideration) and their percentage is determined when communicating with the person being tested.

Next, the test person is invited to reproduce the sounds of the letters of the Russian alphabet, the sounds of his interjections and his favorite frequently repeated words, numbers, tens, hundreds, words of a thousand, a million, a billion, a trillion in a normal state and in the state of each of the three pairs of positive feelings chosen for communication. Sounds pronounced by the test person are controlled by a polygraph, recognized and entered into the Sounds library of the text data base. The Sound library for the audio database and the Sound library for the visual database are synchronously formed. All words of communication with the test person are controlled for novelty, in the presence of which they are processed like sounds and entered into the "Dictionaries" of databases. Questions and complex sentences containing no more than two sentences are processed like words and are entered in the “Phrases' database”.

The test person can reproduce messages containing advice to their relatives, friends and acquaintances and letters from them. These messages are controlled by a polygraph, recognized and entered into the “Messages” library of the text data base. The “Messages” music library for the audio data base and the “Messages” video library for the visual data base are synchronously formed.

It is possible to expand the system by including plug-ins that expand the list of databases of the tested person, for example, by analyzing his personal documents, such as videos.

From the databases of the person being tested, a database of knowledge about the person being tested is formed, which is recorded in the memory of the server Social Network "Image". A potential interlocutor can use the Internet to enter the site "Social Network", name himself and call him the image of a person necessary for communication. If such an image exists, and the interlocutor is not among the relatives, friends and acquaintances of the image, the interlocutor must name three relatives, friends and acquaintances of the image, in relation to which the called image, the system decides on the possibility of a communication session. If the session takes place, it will be entered into the knowledge base.

The novelty of the proposed method of formation, capable of pseudo-personal communication of a person’s image in comparison with other methods, consists in the synchronous formation of sound and visual data bases with text data bases in combination with physiological control of the truth of the formed bases using the majority method of replacing false information with true and using synchronous speech synthesis systems and dynamic visual data playback systems, in the formation of a knowledge base about capable of pseudo-personal to a person’s image, replenished and capable of modernization in the process of its use.

The technical result of the proposed method for the formation of a human image capable of pseudo-personal communication is achieved by forming the image databases, controlling their truth with a polygraph and using speech recognition and synthesis systems, as well as a synchronous system for synthesizing dynamic images, in combination with a powerful server computer and low-power source computers that are remote from the server computer.
