Hereinafter, embodiments of a pet / human friendship measuring device and a friendship measuring program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification, "friendship" includes the meaning of interaction as a friend. In each figure, the same components are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted. FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a friendship degree measuring system including the friendship degree measuring device 200 according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, the living room 100 is a living room 100 in which the main contact points between the pet 11 and a person (or a plurality of people) 21 such as an owner can be imaged by the camera 102. However, this example is not particularly limited, and may be outdoors or in some rooms as long as the distance between the pet 11 and the person 21 and the smile of the person 21 can be detected.

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

The activity sensor 31 can be configured by, for example, a vibration sensor, an acceleration sensor, or the like, and the signal obtained by these can be 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. 2014-261856 and the S wave, P wave, etc. in the vicinity thereof appear, and this electrocardiogram signal is digitized and controlled. It is taken into the part 30. The transmission / reception unit 33 transmits / 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.

For example, a bracelet-type or clothing-type wearable terminal 103 is attached to the person 21. The wearable terminal 103 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, it has a control unit 40 composed of a computer or the like, and the heart rate sensor 41 and the transmission / reception unit 42 are connected to the control unit 40.

The heart rate sensor 41 can obtain an electrocardiogram signal in which the QRS wave shown in FIG. 2 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261856 and the S wave and P wave in the vicinity thereof appear, and this electrocardiogram signal is digitized and controlled. It is taken into the part 40. The transmission / reception unit 42 transmits / 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 / receive data.

A friendship degree measuring device 200 is provided in the living room 100, inside the house, or outside the house, in a place where communication is possible by the LAN router 101. The friendship degree measuring device 200 can be configured by, for example, a personal computer. The friendship degree measuring device 200 is provided with a transmission / reception unit 201 for transmitting / receiving data to / from the LAN router 101, and a central processing device 50 composed of a CPU, a main memory, a storage device, and the like.

The central processing unit 50 includes a relaxed state detecting means 51, a touching state detecting means 52, a smile degree detecting means 53, an activity degree detecting means 54, a friendship degree deriving means 55, and a display controlling means 56. These means can be realized programmatically.

The relaxed state detecting means 51 detects the heartbeat information of the pet 11 and the person 21, and detects the relaxed state of the pet 11 and the person 21 based on the heartbeat information. The relaxed state detecting means 51 can detect the relaxed state by using the method of drowsiness estimation shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261856. For example, according to the drowsiness estimation rule, two stages (1: high possibility of drowsiness, 0: no possibility of drowsiness) can be applied to a relaxed state and a tense state.

The contact state detecting 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 to detect the distance between the pet 11 and the person 21, and the distance is determined by a known method using this image. The smile degree detecting means 53 obtains the smile degree, which is the ratio of the time when the person is smiling to the time when the contact state is detected. Here, an image obtained by the camera 102 can be used for detecting a smile, and a known image recognition method using this image (several smile images in advance (if there are a plurality of people, each person). (Some) are registered, and when an image similar to this registered image is obtained, the smile degree is detected) to find the smiling state, and the time that the smiling state is continued is found. It shall be.

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

The friendship degree deriving means 55 uses the ratio of the time when the relaxed state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected, and the pet 11 is based on the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, and the degree of activity. And the degree of friendship of the above person 21 is derived. The display control means 56 displays the friendship degree derived by the friendship degree derivation means 55 on the display means. Here, the display means may be the display 35 provided in the wearable terminal 104 attached to the pet 11, but a monitor is separately installed at an appropriate place in the house and used as the display means. You may. Alternatively, the friendship degree measuring device 200 may be provided with a display, or the friendship degree information may be sent to the mobile phone or smartphone to be displayed on the friendship degree measuring device 200, the mobile phone, or the smartphone.

The degree of friendship is the degree of friendship between the pet 11 and the person 21, and is expressed by letters as "extremely good", "excellent and good", "good", "slightly insufficient", and "extremely insufficient". However, instead of these, or together with these, a mark such as a heart shape or a circle of colors "pink", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue" corresponding to the above characters should be displayed. You may.

Since the friendship degree measuring device configured as described above operates as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5, the operation of the device will be described with reference to this flowchart. The numerical values used in this embodiment are merely examples, and are appropriately changed depending on the time in which the device 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 derives the friendship degree by multiplying the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, and the degree of activity by a predetermined ratio (here, 3: 3: 4). .. Further, 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 can be performed, for example, at the request of a person (owner) 21 or at a predetermined time of the day (1). (It may be multiple times or multiple times) It shall be started. However, in this embodiment, since the smile detection threshold is set to 10 minutes in the flowchart of FIG. 5, it is necessary that 10 minutes or more have passed from the start of measurement.

FIG. 4 shows detection of a touching state, detection of a smile, and detection of a relaxed state by the relaxed state detecting means 51. The process according to this flowchart is started, 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). When the process branches to NO in step S301, the process ends, and when YES, the time when the distance between the person 21 and the pet 11 is less than 50 cm is added as the time in the contact state (S302).

Next, the image obtained by the camera 102 is recognized, and it is determined whether or not the state in which the person 21 is smiling can be detected (S303). When branching to YES in step S303, the time during which the smile state can be detected is added as the smile detection time (S304).

Following step S304, it is determined whether the heartbeat information can be detected in the data sent from the wearable terminals 103 and 104 (S305), and if the heartbeat information is obtained, the process proceeds to step S306 to detect the relaxed state (S306). ). In the detection of this relaxed state, as described above, the relaxed state can be detected by using the method of drowsiness estimation shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-261856.

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

If it can be detected in step S307 that both the pet 11 and the person 21 are in a relaxed state, both add this time to the both relaxed times (S308). When it is detected in step S309 that only the person 21 is in a relaxed state, this time is added to the person relax time in which only the person 21 is relaxed (S310). When it is detected in step S311 that only the pet 11 is in a relaxed state, this time is added to the pet relaxing time in which only the pet 11 is relaxed (S312). Further, when it is detected in step S313 that both the pet 11 and the person 21 are in a tense state, this time is added to the bilateral tension time in which both are tense (S314).

As described above, the contact state is detected, the smile is detected, and the relaxed state is detected by the relaxed state detecting means 51 at appropriate time intervals, and the process according to the flowchart of FIG. 5 is started at the request of the person 21 or the like. Will be done. The process according to the flowchart of FIG. 5 is a process of calculating the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, and the degree of activity, and deriving and displaying the degree of friendship based on 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 relaxed state and the tense state is predominant in total is calculated (S401). Here, the weight point "5 points" is multiplied by the relaxation time of both sides, the weight point "-3 points" is multiplied by the relaxation time of the person, and the weight point "1 point" is multiplied by the relaxation time of the pet. Multiply the weight points "-5 points" and calculate the relaxation index value by adding these points.

Next, in step S402, it is determined whether or not the activity amount can be detected (S402), and when branching to NO, "0" is set to "activity degree" and when branching to YES (S431), the total activity amount 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 branching to NO in step S403, the “activity degree” is obtained by multiplying the value obtained by multiplying the activity degree reference value (“3”) described above by 10 (total activity amount / target value) (total activity amount / target value). S405). When the total amount of activity does not exceed the target value in this way, the value of "activity degree" is a value indicating that the pet does not sufficiently release stress such as walking or "jare behavior" for people. It turns out that

When the steps S404 and S405 are completed, or when the person branches to NO in step S403, it is detected whether the smile detection time (step S304) in which the person 21 is in a smiling state exceeds 10 minutes (step S304). S406). Here, when NO, the degree of smile is set to "0" (S432), and the process proceeds to step S412. When branching to YES in step S406, the smile degree reference value (“3”) described above is multiplied by 10 to obtain the “smile degree” (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), and if NO, the degree of relaxation is set to "0" (S433). ), Proceed to step S412. If YES in S408, it is detected whether the relaxation time for both sides determined in step S308 exceeds 10 minutes (S409).

When branching to YES in step S409, the relaxation degree is obtained by multiplying the previously obtained relaxation degree reference value (“4”) by 10 and multiplying the obtained value (both relaxing time / contact state time) (both relaxing time / contact state time). S410). When branching to NO in step S409, the relaxation degree is calculated by multiplying the previously obtained relaxation degree reference value (“4”) by both relaxing times and multiplying the obtained value (both relaxing time / contact state time). Find (S411).

As described above, the degree of relaxation is determined by using the ratio of the time during which the relaxed state is detected (both relaxed times) to the time during which the touched state is detected (time of the touched state). In other words, it is based on the idea that even if the contact state is long, the value of the degree of relaxation does not increase unless both sides relax for a long time, and it is not recognized that the pet 11 and the person 21 are properly dating. ..

In the processes 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 relaxation, the degree of smile, and the degree of activity are added to obtain the degree of friendship (S412). Here, although it is added without weighting, the friendship degree deriving means 55 may derive the friendship degree by adding the degree of relaxation, the degree of smile, and the degree of activity at a predetermined ratio. ..

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

(Table 1)
Range of friendship Color
Friendship ≧ 100 pink
100> Friendship ≧ 70 Orange
70> Friendship ≧ 40 Yellow
40> Friendship ≧ 10 Green
10> Friendship ≧ 0 Blue

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

In the above embodiment, the smile degree detecting means 53 and the activity degree detecting means 54 are used, but these may not be used. In that case, the friendship degree deriving means 55 uses the ratio of the time when the relaxed state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected, and the friendship degree between the pet and the person is based on the degree of relaxation. To derive. The display control means 56 displays the derived friendship degree on the display means.

In the above embodiment, the smile degree detecting means 53 and the activity degree detecting means 54 are used, but the smile degree detecting means 53 may not be used. In that case, the friendship degree deriving means 55 is detected by the activity degree detecting means 54 in addition to the relaxing degree using the ratio of the time when the relaxed state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected. The degree of friendship between pets and people is derived by taking into account the degree of activity. The display control means 56 displays the derived friendship degree on the display means.

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

FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of the second embodiment. The configuration of this device is basically the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The central processing unit 50 includes a touch state detecting means 52, a joy state detecting means 57, a friendship degree deriving means 55A, and a display controlling means 56. These means can be realized programmatically.

The newly added joy state detecting means 57 detects the joy state of the pet and the person. Specifically, the person 21 can have the same configuration as the smile degree detecting means 53 of the first embodiment. With respect to the pet 11, the image obtained by the camera 102 is analyzed to detect the joy state of the pet 11. For example, in the case of a dog, it is possible to detect an appropriate movement such as waving its tail, rolling around, or leaning against a person 21, and put it in a joyful state. In addition, the cat can be in a joyful state by detecting an appropriate movement such as when the cat is rolling around or when it is leaning against the person 21.

The friendship degree deriving means 55A derives the friendship degree between the pet 11 and the person 21 by using the ratio of the time when the joy state is detected to the time when the contact state is detected. At this time, the reference value may be set as in the derivation of the degree of relaxation, and the calculation may be performed as shown in step S410 using the time when both sides were in a joyful state. Further, the detection of the joy state may be performed instead of the camera, or together with the detection by the camera, using biological information such as a sweating sensor or a heart rate sensor that changes when a feeling of joy occurs. By displaying using the degree of friendship obtained in this way, it is possible to appropriately grasp what kind of feelings and emotions both the pet and the person have, and how to interact with the pet and the person. It is expected to help.
