  Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, an embodiment of a pet-person friendship degree measuring apparatus and a friendship degree measuring program according to the present invention will be described. In the present specification, "friendship" includes the meaning of exchange as a friend. In each of the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant description will be omitted. FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a friendship degree measurement system including the friendship degree measurement device 200 according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, a main contact place of the pet 11 and a person (or a plurality of persons) 21 such as an owner is a living room 100 capable of imaging with the camera 102. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and may be outside or in some rooms as long as detection of the distance between the pet 11 and the person 21 and detection of the smile of the person 21 are possible.

  For example, a collar-type wearable terminal 104 is attached to the pet 11. The wearable terminal 104 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the control unit 30 configured by a computer or the like is provided, and the control unit 30 is configured to be connected with the activity sensor 31, the heart rate sensor 32, the transmission / reception unit 33, and the display controller 34.

  The activity amount sensor 31 can be configured by, for example, a vibration sensor, an acceleration sensor, or the like, and signals obtained by these are digitized and taken into the control unit 30. The heart rate sensor 32 can obtain an electrocardiogram signal in which the QRS wave shown in FIG. 2 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261865 and the S wave and P wave in the vicinity appear, and this electrocardiogram signal is digitized and controlled It is taken into section 30. The transmitting and receiving unit 33 transmits and receives data wirelessly or by wire. A display 35 such as an LED is connected to the display controller 34, and characters and colors are displayed under the control of the CPU 30.

  A wearable terminal 103 of, for example, a bracelet type or a clothes type is attached to the person 21. The wearable terminal 103 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, a control unit 40 configured by a computer or the like is provided, and the control unit 40 is configured to be connected to the heartbeat sensor 41 and the transmission / reception unit 42.

  The heart rate sensor 41 can obtain an electrocardiogram signal in which the QRS wave shown in FIG. 2 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261865 and the S wave and P wave in the vicinity appear, and this electrocardiogram signal is digitized and controlled It is taken into section 40. The transmitting and receiving unit 42 transmits and receives data wirelessly or by wire.

  A LAN router 101 is provided in the living room 100, and is connected to the camera 102, the transmission / reception unit 42 of the wearable terminal 103, and the transmission / reception unit 33 of the wearable terminal 104 wirelessly or by wire to transmit and receive data.

  In the living room 100 or in this house or outside the house, at a place where communication can be performed by the LAN router 101, a friendship degree measuring device 200 is provided. The friendship degree measuring device 200 can be configured by, for example, a personal computer. The friendship degree measuring apparatus 200 is provided with a transmission / reception unit 201 that transmits / receives data to / from the LAN router 101, and a central processing unit 50 configured with a CPU, a main memory, a storage device, and the like.

  The central processing unit 50 includes a relaxing state detecting means 51, a touching state detecting means 52, a smile level detecting means 53, an activity degree detecting means 54, a friendship degree deriving means 55, and a display control means 56. These means can be realized by a program.

  The relaxation state detection means 51 detects the heartbeat information of the pet 11 and the person 21 and detects the relaxation state of the pet 11 and the person 21 based on the heartbeat information. The relaxation state detection means 51 can detect the relaxation state using the method of sleepiness estimation shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261865. For example, the sleepiness estimation rule can apply two stages (1: high sleepiness, 0: no sleepiness) to relaxation state and tension state.

  The tactile state detection means 52 detects the distance between the pet 11 and the person 21 and detects the contact state between the pet 11 and the person 21 based on this distance. An image obtained by the camera 102 can be used for detection of the distance between the pet 11 and the person 21, and the distance is determined by a known method using this image. The smile level detection means 53 obtains a smile level which is a ratio of a time when the person smiles to a time when the contact state is detected. Here, for detection of a smile, an image obtained by the camera 102 can be used, and a known method of image recognition using this image (several smile images (if there are multiple people, each person Corresponding to the number of faces), and when the image similar to the registered image is obtained, the state of smile is determined by the smile degree detection, etc., and the time during which the state of smile is continued is determined. It shall be.

  The activity degree detection means 54 calculates the amount of activity of the pet, and evaluates the amount of activity according to the target value. The amount of activity of the pet is a threshold at which it is recognized that the pet 11 is active based on data (value of collected data by a vibration sensor, acceleration sensor, etc.) sent from the activity amount sensor 31 provided in the wearable terminal 104 The state of exceeding the threshold is detected, and the time of the state of exceeding the threshold can be used as the amount of activity. When the amount of activity obtained in this manner exceeds the target value, the degree of activity is obtained by a predetermined equation. Of course, the activity degree may be determined using a table in which the amount of activity and the value of the activity degree are associated, regardless of a predetermined expression.

  The friendship degree deriving means 55 uses the ratio of the time when the relaxing state is detected to the time when the touching state is detected, the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, and the activity of the pet 11. And the above-mentioned person 21's friendship degree is derived. The display control means 56 displays the friendship degree derived by the friendship degree deriving means 55 on the display means. Here, the display means may be the display 35 provided on the wearable terminal 104 attached to the pet 11. However, a separate monitor may be installed at an appropriate place in the house and used as the display means. It is good. Alternatively, the friendship degree measuring device 200 may be provided with a display, or the friendship degree information may be sent to a mobile phone or a smartphone and displayed on the friendship degree measuring device 200, the mobile phone, or the smartphone.

  The friendship degree is the degree of intimacy between the pet 11 and the person 21 and is expressed as "very good", "good and good", "good", "slightly insufficient", and "very insufficient" by the characters. In place of these, or in addition to these, it is possible to display a mark such as a heart shape or a circle of a color “pink”, “orange”, “yellow”, “green”, “blue” corresponding to the above characters. It is good.

  Since the friendship degree measuring apparatus configured as described above operates as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5, the operation of the apparatus will be described with reference to this flowchart. The numerical values used in this embodiment are merely an example, and are appropriately changed according to the time when the apparatus is used, the type and size of the pet 11, and the like. The activity degree reference value, the smile degree reference value, and the relaxation degree reference value used in this flowchart are, for example, “3”, “3”, and “4”, and the total is “10”. As a result, the friendship degree deriving means 55 multiplies the relaxation degree, the smile degree and the activity degree by a predetermined ratio (here, 3: 3: 4) to derive the friendship degree. . In addition, the processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 4 can be performed at appropriate time intervals, and the processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 5 may be performed, for example, according to a request from a person (owner) 21 or It may be activated once or several times). However, in this embodiment, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, since the smile detection threshold is set to 10 minutes, it is required that 10 minutes or more have elapsed from the start of measurement.

  FIG. 4 shows the detection of the touch state, the detection of the smile, and the detection of the relaxation state by the relaxation state detection means 51. The processing according to this flowchart starts, the distance between the person 21 and the pet 11 is detected based on the image obtained by the camera 102, and it is determined whether the distance is less than 50 cm (S301). If the process branches to NO in this step S301, the process ends, and if YES, the time when the distance between the person 21 and the pet 11 is less than 50 cm is added as the time of contact state (S302).

  Next, the image obtained by the camera 102 is recognized, and it is determined whether the state where the person 21 is smiling can be detected (S303). If it branches to YES in this step S303, the time which was able to detect the state which is a smile is added as a smile detection time (S304).

  Next to step S304, it is determined whether heart rate information can be detected from the data sent from the wearable terminals 103 and 104 (S305). If heart rate information is obtained, the process proceeds to step S306 to detect a relaxed state (S306). ). In the detection of the relaxation state, as described above, the relaxation state can be detected using the method of sleepiness estimation disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261865.

  As a result of detection of the relaxation state in step S306, the relaxation state detection means 51 determines whether the pet and the person are both in the relaxation state (S307) or only the person is in the relaxation state (S309). It detects separately whether it is in a relaxed state (S311) or whether both a pet and a person are in tension (S313).

  If it is detected in step S307 that both the pet 11 and the person 21 are in a relaxed state, this time is added to the both relaxation time (S308). If it is detected in step S309 that only the person 21 is in a relaxed state, this time is added to the person relaxing time only for the person 21 (S310). If it is detected in step S311 that only the pet 11 is in a relaxed state, this time is added to the pet relaxation time in which only the pet 11 is relaxed (S312). Furthermore, when it is detected in step S313 that both the pet 11 and the person 21 are in tension, this time is added to the both tension time in which both are in tension (S314).

  As described above, the detection of the touching state, the detection of the smiling face, and the detection of the relaxing state by the relaxing state detecting means 51 are performed at appropriate time intervals, and the processing by the flowchart of FIG. Be done. The process according to the flowchart of FIG. 5 is a process of deriving and displaying a friendship degree based on the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, the calculation of the degree of activity, and the calculated degree of relaxation, the degree of smile and the degree of activity.

  When the process of FIG. 5 is started, first, a relaxation index value indicating which of the relaxation state and the tension state is predominant in total is calculated (S401). Here, both sides of the relaxation time are multiplied by the weight "5 points", people's relaxation time is multiplied by the weight "-3 points", and the pet relaxation time is multiplied by the weight "1 point". The relaxation index value to which these are added is calculated by multiplying the weighting point "-5 points".

  Next, in step S402, it is determined whether the amount of activity has been detected (S402). If it branches to NO, “0” is set to “activity degree” (S431) and the total amount of activity is the target value Is detected (S403). Here, if YES, the activity degree reference value ("3") described above is multiplied by 10 to obtain the "activity degree" (S404). On the other hand, when the process branches to NO in step S403, the value obtained by multiplying the activity degree reference value (“3”) described above by 10 is multiplied by (total activity amount / target value) to obtain “activity degree” S405). As described above, when the total amount of activity does not exceed the target value, the value of the "degree of activity" indicates that the pet has not sufficiently dissipated stress such as "walking behavior" or the like on a walk or a person. It turns out that it becomes.

  When the above steps S404 and S405 are completed, or when the process branches to NO in step S403, it is detected whether the smile detection time (step S304) for which the person 21 smiles is over 10 minutes (step S304). S406). Here, if the answer is NO, the degree of smile is set to "0" (S432), and the process proceeds to step S412. If it branches to YES in step S406, 10 will be multiplied to the smile level reference value ("3") described above to obtain a "smile level" (S407).

  Following step S407, in step S408, it is detected whether the relaxation index value obtained in the previous step S401 is larger than "0" (S408). If NO, the relaxation degree is set to "0" (S433) ), To step S412. If YES in S408, it is detected whether the both-side relaxation time obtained in step S308 exceeds 10 minutes (S409).

  When branching to YES in step S 409, the relaxation degree reference value (“4”) obtained above is multiplied by 10, and the obtained value is multiplied by (both relaxation time / contact time) to obtain a relaxation degree ( S410). When branching to NO in step S409, the relaxation degree reference value (“4”) obtained earlier is multiplied by both relaxation times, and the obtained value is multiplied by (both relaxation time / contact time) to obtain a relaxation degree. It asks for (S411).

  As described above, the degree of relaxation is determined using the ratio of the time when the relaxation state is detected (both relaxation times) to the time when the touch state is detected (time of the touch state). That is, it is based on the idea that even if the contact time is long, the value of the degree of relaxation does not increase unless the both relaxation times are long, and it is not recognized that the pet 11 and the person 21 are properly associated with each other. .

  In the processing from step 401 to steps S410 and S411 described above, the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, and the degree of activity are obtained. Therefore, in step S412, the degree of friendship is obtained by adding the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile and the degree of activity (S412). Although the weighting is not added here, the friendship degree deriving means 55 may add the relaxation degree, the smile degree and the activity degree at a predetermined ratio to derive the friendship degree. .

  Following step S412, information to be displayed corresponding to the value of the degree of friendship obtained above is obtained (S413). Here, it is assumed that color display is performed as information to be displayed. Specifically, it is as shown in Table 1 below.

(Table 1)
Range of friendship degree
Friendship rate 100 100 pink
100> friendship degree 70 70 orange
70> Friendship degree 40 40 yellow
40> Friendship degree 10 10 green
10> Friendship degree 0 0 Blue

  The display information obtained in step S413 is displayed on the display means (S414). As described above, the display means is the display 35 provided on the wearable terminal 104 mounted on the pet 11, the display provided on the friendship degree measuring device 200, and communication with the friendship degree measuring device of the present embodiment It can be a (display of) a mobile phone that has been enabled or a (display of) a smartphone.

  Although the smile degree detection means 53 and the activity degree detection means 54 are used in the above embodiment, these may not be used. In that case, the friendship degree deriving means 55 associates the pet with the person based on the degree of relaxation using the ratio of the time when the relaxation state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected. Derive. The display control means 56 displays the derived degree of friendship on the display means.

  Although the smile degree detection means 53 and the activity degree detection means 54 are used in the above embodiment, the smile degree detection means 53 may not be used. In that case, the friendship degree deriving means 55 is detected by the activity degree detection means 54 in addition to the relaxation degree using the ratio of the time when the relaxation state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected. The degree of friendship between the pet and the person is derived by adding the degree of activity. The display control means 56 displays the derived degree of friendship on the display means.

  Although the smile degree detection means 53 and the activity degree detection means 54 are used in the above embodiment, the activity degree detection means 54 may not be used. In that case, the friendship degree deriving means 55 is detected by the smile degree detection means 53 in addition to the degree of relaxation using the ratio of the time when the relaxation state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected. The degree of friendship is added to the degree of friendship between the pet and the person. The display control means 56 displays the derived degree of friendship on the display means.

  The structural example of 2nd Embodiment is shown in FIG. The configuration of this device is basically the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The central processing unit 50 is provided with a touch state detection unit 52, a pleasure state detection unit 57, a friendship degree derivation unit 55A, and a display control unit 56. These means can be realized by a program.

  A newly added pleasure state detection means 57 detects the pleasure state of the pet and the person. Specifically, regarding the person 21, the same configuration as the smile degree detection means 53 of the first embodiment can be adopted. For the pet 11, the image obtained by the camera 102 is analyzed to detect the pleasure state of the pet 11. For example, in the case of a dog, when the tail is being shaken, it is possible to detect an appropriate motion such as when it is rolling around, or when it is snaking on the person 21, and the state of pleasure can be made. In the case of a cat, it is possible to detect an appropriate action such as when it is rolling around or when it is caught by a person 21 and to be in a state of pleasure.

  The friendship degree deriving means 55A derives the friendship degree between the pet 11 and the person 21 using the ratio of the time when the pleasure state is detected to the time when the touch state is detected. At this time, as in the derivation of the relaxation degree, the reference value may be set, and the calculation may be made as shown in step S410 using the time when both are in the pleasure state. In addition, the detection of the pleasure state may be replaced with or together with the camera, using biological information that changes when emotions of pleasure such as a perspiration sensor or a heart rate sensor occur. By displaying using the degree of friendship found in this way, it is possible to appropriately grasp what thoughts and emotions both the pet and the person have, and how to associate the pet with the person It is expected to help.
