The display content storage unit 23 stores a second table T2 (see FIG. 6) in which each emotion data related to a plurality of types of emotions of the dog D is associated with a plurality of types of display content.
Here, the display content includes not only a message (message) representing an animal's emotion but also an image or icon imitating the facial expression of the animal.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the second table T2 is associated with, for example, emotion data “good feeling 1” and display content “happy”, and similarly, emotion data “good feeling 2”, The display content “happy” is associated, the emotion data “moody” is associated with the display content “Nandayo (moody)”, the emotion data “welcome”, and the display content “well come” The emotion data “fear” and the display content “scary” are stored in association with each other. In addition, the display content “...” Indicating that there is no corresponding emotion expression is stored in association with the emotion data “none”.

  Here, the display content storage unit 23 functions as a second storage unit that stores each emotion data related to a plurality of types of emotions of animals and a plurality of types of display content in association with each other.

The display control unit 24 performs a process of causing the display unit 25 to output display content related to emotion data received by the receiving unit 22.
Specifically, the display control unit 24 performs a process of reading the display content associated with the emotion data received by the receiving unit 22 from the second table T2 and outputting the display content on the display unit 25.
For example, when the reception data is received by the receiving unit 22, the display control unit 24 reads the display content “happy” associated with the emotion data “upper morality 1” from the second table T 2, As shown in FIG. 1, the display content “happy” is displayed on the display unit 25.

  Here, the display control unit 24 functions as a display control unit that causes the display unit 25 to output display content based on the emotion data received by the receiving unit 22. Specifically, the display control unit 24 reads the display content corresponding to the emotion data received by the receiving unit 22 from the second table T2, and causes the display unit 25 to display the display content.

  The display unit (display unit) 25 displays various screens based on display signals input from the display control unit 24 (see FIG. 1). The display unit 25 is configured by, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like.

  The operation unit 26 includes, for example, an ON-OFF switch for turning on the receiving terminal 20.

  Next, an operation process of the animal emotion display system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an operation process of the transmission terminal 10 and the reception terminal 20 constituting the animal emotion display system 100 in the present embodiment.

  When the tail of the dog D moves, the transmission terminal 10 detects the movement of the tail of the dog D by the motion detection sensor 12 (step S1). Specifically, the motion detection sensor 12 detects the direction and magnitude of each movement of the tail of the dog D on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, and outputs the detected detection data to the emotion data specifying unit 14.

Next, the emotion data specifying unit 14 performs control to read out the emotion data corresponding to the motion data relating to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 from the first table T1 (step S2). For example, the direction and magnitude of each movement of the tail of the dog D on the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis related to the detection data input from the movement detection sensor 12 is the motion data “right-side in a cycle earlier than a predetermined cycle. When the conditional expression relating to “shake from side to side” is satisfied, the emotion data “upper mood 1” corresponding to the motion data is read from the first table T1.
The transmission unit 15 transmits emotion data (for example, “upper mood 1”) read from the first table T1 to the reception terminal 20 via a predetermined communication line (step S3), and operation processing of the transmission terminal 10 Exit.

  When receiving terminal 20 receives emotion data transmitted from transmitting terminal 10 (step S11), display control unit 24 reads display content corresponding to the emotion data received by receiving unit 22 from display content storage unit 23. (Step S12). For example, when the emotion data “good feeling 1” is received from the transmitting terminal 10, the display control unit 24 displays the content “happy” corresponding to the emotion data “good feeling 1” received by the receiving unit 22, as shown in FIG. 6. Are read from the second table T2.

  Next, the display control unit 24 displays the display content on the display unit 25 (step S13). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the display control unit 24 causes the display unit 25 to display a “happy” message. Then, the operation process of the receiving terminal 20 ends.

As described above, according to the animal emotion display system 100 of the present embodiment, the dog D transmitted from the transmission unit 15 by the receiving terminal 20 capable of wireless communication with the transmitting terminal 10 even at a location away from the dog D. Emotion data related to the emotion of the user can be received via the receiving unit 22, and display content based on the emotion data can be displayed on the display unit 25 by the display control unit 24, so that a human (for example, owner) can display the display content. By visually recognizing it, it is possible to properly understand the emotion even without being near the dog D.
That is, the number of owners and children who are not good at understanding pet feelings or are unfamiliar with pets has increased rapidly due to the recent pet boom, but even such humans are displayed on the display unit 25 of the receiving terminal 20. The pet's emotion can be properly and easily understood simply by visually recognizing the displayed display content.
In addition, since the pet's emotion can be understood even if he / she is not in the vicinity of the pet, there is an advantage that the owner can grasp the state (emotion) of the pet in real time even while performing other work.

  In addition, since the emotion of the animal (emotion data) is read based on the motion data detected by the motion detection sensor 12, other animals in the vicinity are identified as in the case where the emotion of the animal is picked up with a microphone. There is no possibility that the emotion of a specific animal cannot be displayed by picking up the cry of an animal (for example, a dog) or picking up the surrounding noise.

  The emotion data specifying unit 14 reads the emotion data corresponding to the motion data related to the movement of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 from the emotion data storage unit 13, so that the calculation processing burden for specifying the emotion data is reduced. Can be reduced, and emotion data can be identified quickly.

The configuration other than the date / time data acquisition unit 17 and the history storage unit 18 is substantially the same as that of the above embodiment, and the detailed description thereof is omitted.

The date / time data acquisition unit 17 includes a timer unit 17a, and performs control to acquire date / time data when the motion detection sensor 12 detects the movement of the tail of the dog D.
The date / time data acquisition unit 17 acquires date / time data at the date and time when the movement of the tail of the dog D is detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at, for example, * month * day * time.DELTA.
Here, the date / time data acquisition unit 17 functions as an acquisition unit that acquires the date / time when the movement of the animal was detected by the motion detection sensor 12.

The history storage unit 18 is based on the date / time data acquired by the date / time data acquisition unit 17 and the motion data related to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the date / time. 14 is stored in association with the emotion data read out by.
For example, based on the movement data relating to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the movement detection sensor 12 at the time of ** month x day □ hour △ minute, the emotion data “good feeling 1” is read by the emotion data specifying unit 14. In this case, the history storage unit 18 stores the date / time data “○ month × day □ hour Δ minute” and emotion data “upper mood 1” in association with each other. Also, for example, based on the motion data relating to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at Δ month □ day × hour ○ min, the emotion data “moody” is read out by the emotion data specifying unit 14. In this case, the history storage unit 18 stores the date / time data “Δ month □ day × hour ○ minute” and emotion data “moody” in association with each other.
Here, the history storage unit 18 associates at least one set of date / time data acquired by the date / time data acquisition unit 17 with emotion data related to animal motion detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the date / time. It functions as history storage means for storing.

  For example, when a transmission instruction is input based on an operation of a transmission instruction button (not shown) by a human under the control of the CPU 11, the transmission unit 15 stores date / time data and emotion data stored in association with the history storage unit 18. Are sent to the outside.

  The display control unit 24 reads the display content corresponding to the emotion data received by the receiving unit 22 from the second table T2. Then, the display control unit 24 associates the display content (for example, “happy”) with the date / time (for example, “○ month × day □ hour Δ minute”) based on the date / time data associated with the emotion data. In addition, it is displayed on the display unit 25.

As described above, according to the animal emotion display system 100 of the first modification, at least one set of date and time data and emotion data stored in association with the history storage unit 18 is transmitted from the transmission terminal 10. The receiving terminal 20 can display the date and time and the display content on the display unit 25 in association with each other, and can understand when and what emotion the dog D expressed.
Further, since the date data and emotion data are stored in association with the history storage unit 18, they are stored in association with the history storage unit 18 in the past (for example, when the owner is absent) from the transmission terminal 10. By transmitting all the date data and emotion data, it is possible to grasp all the emotions of the dog D in the past.

  In the animal emotion display system 100 according to the first modification, at least one set of date / time data and emotion data is stored in the history storage unit 18. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the date / time data acquisition unit 17 acquires the date / time data and emotion data. You may make it memorize | store at least 1 set of the date / time data of a date and time, and the motion data regarding the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the said date. Then, based on the operation of the transmission instruction button from the user, the transmission terminal 10 specifies the emotion data based on the motion data associated with the date / time data stored in the history storage unit 18. Then, the transmission unit 15 transmits at least one set of the date / time data stored in the history storage unit 18 and the emotion data read by the emotion data identification unit 14 in association with each other under the control of the CPU 11.

[Modification 2]
Next, a second modification of the animal emotion display system 100 of this embodiment will be described.

The configuration other than the position data acquisition unit 19 and the history storage unit 18 is almost the same as that in the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The position data acquisition unit 19 performs control to acquire position data of the position of the dog D where the movement of the tail is detected by the movement detection sensor 12. Specifically, the position data acquisition unit 19 has a GPS (Global Positioning System) function and a mobile phone function, and performs position detection using a GPS satellite or a mobile phone base station.
For example, when the movement detection sensor 12 detects the movement of the tail of the dog D, the position data acquisition unit 19 acquires the position data of the position at a position of north latitude ○ degrees and east longitude Δ degrees.
Here, the position data acquisition unit 19 functions as an acquisition unit that acquires the presence position of the animal whose movement is detected by the movement detection sensor 12.

The history storage unit 18 is based on the position data acquired by the position data acquisition unit 19 and the motion data related to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the position. The read emotion data is stored in association with each other.
For example, based on the motion data relating to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the positions of north latitude ○ degrees and east longitude Δ degrees, the emotion data specifying unit 14 reads the emotion data “upper mood 1”. In this case, the history storage unit 18 stores the position data “north latitude, degree Δ, east longitude Δ degree” and emotion data “upper mood 1” in association with each other. For example, the emotion data “moment” is read by the emotion data specifying unit 14 based on the motion data related to the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the position of north latitude × degrees and east longitude □ degrees. In the case where it is done, the history storage unit 18 stores the position data “north latitude × degree, east longitude □ degree” and the emotion data “moody” in association with each other.
Here, the history storage unit 18 associates at least the position data of the presence position acquired by the position data acquisition unit 19 with emotion data related to the animal motion detected by the motion detection sensor 12 at the presence position. It functions as history storage means for storing a set.

  Under the control of the CPU 11, for example, the transmission unit 15 transmits the position data and emotion data stored in association with the history storage unit 18 to the outside based on an operation of a transmission instruction button (not shown). ing.

  The display control unit 24 reads the display content corresponding to the emotion data received by the receiving unit 22 from the second table T2. Then, the display control unit 24 associates the display content (for example, “happy”) with the position based on the position data associated with the emotion data (for example, “north latitude ○ degree, east longitude Δ degree”). Are displayed on the display unit 25.

As described above, according to the animal emotion display system 100 of the second modified example, at least one set of position data and emotion data stored in association with the history storage unit 18 is transmitted from the transmission terminal 10. In the receiving terminal 20, the presence position and the display content can be displayed in association with each other on the display unit 25, and the emotion expressed by the dog D can be understood.
Further, since the position data and the emotion data are stored in association with the history storage unit 18, they are stored in association with the history storage unit 18 in the past (for example, when the owner is absent) from the transmission terminal 10. By transmitting all the position data and emotion data, it is possible to grasp where and what emotion the dog D had in the past.

  In the animal emotion display system 100 according to the second modification, at least one set of position data and emotion data is stored in the history storage unit 18. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the position data acquisition unit 19 acquires the position data. You may make it memorize | store at least 1 set of the position data of a position, and the movement data regarding the movement of the tail of the dog D detected by the movement detection sensor 12 in the said position in correlation. Then, based on the operation of the transmission instruction button from the user, the transmission terminal 10 specifies the emotion data based on the motion data associated with the position data stored in the history storage unit 18. Then, the transmission unit 15 transmits at least one set of the position data stored in the history storage unit 18 and the emotion data read by the emotion data specifying unit 14 in association with each other under the control of the CPU 11.

  In the above embodiment, the emotion data storage unit 13 is not necessarily provided, and the emotion data specifying unit 14 performs arithmetic processing based on the motion data related to the movement of the dog D detected by the motion detection sensor 12. And emotion data may be specified. According to this, it is possible to specify emotion data that is more flexible than when emotion data is read from the emotion data storage unit 13, and it is possible to more appropriately understand emotions.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, you may make it function the motion detection sensor 12 and the emotion data specific | specification part 14 as a detection means.

In addition, the emotion data storage unit 13 includes a plurality of types of motion data for a plurality of types of animals (for example, dogs and cats) and types of the plurality of types of animals (for example, large dogs, medium-sized dogs, and small dogs). And a plurality of types of emotion data may be stored in association with each other. Then, the transmission terminal main body 1 designates the types of animals (for example, cats) and the types (for example, males) of each type of animals for which movement should be detected from the types of animals and the types of each of the plurality of types of animals. You may make it further provide the input button (designating means) to perform.
Specifically, when it is desired to display an emotion about a male cat, “cat” is designated as the type of animal whose movement is to be detected from among a plurality of types of animals using the input button provided on the transmission terminal body 1. Then, “male” is designated as the type of the designated “cat”.
The emotion data specifying unit 14 specifies emotion data from the first table T1 corresponding to the male cat, and the display control unit 24 reads the corresponding display content from the second table T2 corresponding to the male cat.

In the case of a male cat, for example, in the first table T1, the motion data “Put the tail” is associated with the emotion data “hungry” in the first table T1, and the emotion data in the second table T2. “Hungry” is associated with the display content “I am hungry”. Further, in the first table T1, the motion data “Tail is caught under the body” when expressing fear is associated with the emotion data “Fear”, and the emotion data “Fear” is displayed in the second table T2. The content “I'm scared” is associated. Further, in the first table T1, the motion data “slowly swing the tail to the left and right” in a state of being in doubt in the excited state is associated with the emotion data “stray”. In the second table T2, the emotion data “ “Waiting” is associated with the display content “Don't worry”. Further, in the first table T1, the motion data “moving the tail slowly in the vertical direction” and the emotion data “think” when representing the thought state are associated, and in the second table T2, the emotion data “think” "And the display content" What should I do from now? "
According to this, it is possible to properly understand the emotions of animals according to the types of animals such as dogs and cats, and to more appropriately understand the emotions of animals according to the type of each animal. Will be able to.

Further, the motion detection sensor 12 in the present embodiment is configured to include a triaxial acceleration sensor, but is not limited thereto, and at least one of a triaxial acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, and a magnetic sensor is used. It may be included.
According to this, by using the above sensors in combination, it becomes possible to detect movements that match the characteristics of each animal, and it is possible to more appropriately understand the emotions of animals.
