Description

Operation method of block-type coding assembly and robot device for preventing dementia {OPERATION METHOD OF BLOCK-TYPE CODING ASSEMBLY AND ROBOT DEVICE FOR DEMENTIA PREVENTION}

The present disclosure relates to a method of operating a block-type coding assembly and a robot device for preventing dementia.

Dementia is a degenerative disease in which cognitive function deteriorates over time. The more severe the decline in cognitive function, the lower the ability to perform daily activities and the quality of life. As population aging progresses rapidly, the number of senile dementia patients increases day by day, and as a result, the reality of families living with psychological and economic burdens for a long time has become a serious social problem.

Among the methods for preventing and treating dementia, there are cognitive training and sensory training. Cognitive training is a corrective treatment method that continuously stimulates the brain, and is a representative activity of non-drug treatment applied in consideration of cognitive function and interest, ability and area of interest, physiological function, available tools, and given environment.

It has been reported that such cognitive training maintains and delays the cognitive function of dementia patients in a number of domestic and foreign studies, and is effective in depression, daily living ability, and quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to help dementia patients maintain and sustain their cognitive function by conducting continuous cognitive stimulation activities.

Sensory training is a treatment method that provides continuous sensory stimulation and activities to patients with dementia. Senile dementia patients experience difficulties in sensory processing due to changes in the sensory system as dementia progresses. For example, in the case of tactile sensation, receptors related to tactile sensation are reduced, so that sensitivity to touch, temperature, and vibration senses cannot be felt well. In addition, in the case of hearing, the cell tissue of the ear loses its elasticity, and the degeneration of the hair cells leads to a decrease in hearing. Therefore, it is necessary for the elderly to continuously recognize sensory stimuli through sensory training.

3 is a diagram visually illustrating program codes according to various embodiments of the present disclosure using a block-type coding assembly 200 . Referring to FIG. 3 , the first program code 301 may be stored in the program code storage unit 351 and visually represent a learning program code demonstrated by the robot device 300 or selected for training. . The second program code 302 is the block-type coding assembly 200 or the block-type coding assembly 200 that the patient recognizes that the robot device 300 behaves according to the first program code 301 and assembles to match it. ) may be a visual representation of the program code generated based on.

The first program code 301 causes the robot device 300 to move right 1 value, backward movement 1 value, forward movement 3 value, left movement 3 value, right turn movement 2 value, dancing motion, and the above operations once. You can have program code that makes it repeat.

Meanwhile, according to the second program code 302, the robot device 300 moves right 1 value, left turn 1 value, forward movement 4 value, left movement 3 value, dancing action, right turn movement 2 value, and the above operations once. You can have program code that makes it repeat.

The program code comparison unit 352 may calculate a similarity by comparing the first program code 301 and the second program code 302 .

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the degree of similarity is a comparison of the number of main blocks 210 included in the first program code 301 and the second program code 302, a degree of correspondence between types of the main block 210, and options It may be determined based on one or more of the consistency of values of the block 220 and/or the consistency of the sequence of the main block 210 .

In the example of FIG. 3 , the number of main blocks 210 of the first program code 301 and the second program code 302 is seven, which is the same. However, compared to the first program code 301, the second program code 302 lacks the main block 3011 indicating backward movement, and instead adds a main block 3021 indicating left movement. In this case, the similarity between the first program code 301 and the second program code 302 may be calculated as a value of 6/7.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 3, the option block 3012 of the movement block indicating forward movement included in the first program code 301 has a value of 3, whereas the forward movement included in the second program code 302 has a value of 3. The option block 3022 of the movement block indicating movement has a value of 4, so there is a difference. In this case, a similarity value of 1/14 (=0.5 (weight) * 1/7 (proportion of main block)) may be subtracted from the previously calculated similarity. Therefore, the degree of similarity can be calculated as a value of 11/14 (= 6/7-0.5*1/7).

In addition, in the example of FIG. 3 , the positions of the main block 3013 representing the right turn movement included in the first program code 301 and the main block 3023 representing the right turn movement included in the second program code 302 is different, so sequential information may be different. In this case, a similarity value of 1/7 (= 1.0 (weight) * 1/7 (proportion of main block)) may be subtracted from the previous similarity. Therefore, the degree of similarity can be calculated as a 9/14 value (= 11/14 - 1.0 * 1/7).

Unlike the above-described example, in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the degree of similarity is a comparison of the number of main blocks 210 included in the first program code 301 and the second program code 302, and the type of the main block 210. With respect to one or more of the coincidence of the value of the option block 220 and/or the coincidence of the sequence of the main block 210, based on the proportion and weight of the main block 210 and the option block 220, various can be computed in this way.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the feedback unit 353 causes the robot device 300 to demonstrate the program code for learning again or explain the program code for learning based on the degree of similarity calculated by the program code comparison unit 352. or explain the difference between the program code for learning and the program code based on the block-type coding assembly 200.

For example, if the similarity calculated by the program code comparison unit 352 is less than 0.5, the feedback unit 353 may cause the robot device 300 to demonstrate the program code for learning again.

Alternatively, the feedback unit 353 may cause the robot device 300 to output a description of the learning program code when the degree of similarity calculated by the program code comparison unit 352 is less than 0.5. The robot device 300 may output an explanation of the program code for learning using visual and/or audio data using the display 341 and/or the speaker 342 included in the output unit 340.

For another example, as in the example of FIG. 3 , the feedback unit 353 causes the robot device 300 to block-type coding assembly ( 200) may be demonstrated according to the program code (eg, the second program code 302). Through this, the patient participating in the training can check the difference between the learning program code and the program code generated based on the block-type coding assembly 200 assembled by the patient through the demonstration of the robot device 300.
In addition, when the similarity calculated by the program code comparison unit 352 is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than 1, the feedback unit 353 causes the robot device 300 to use the program code for learning and the program code based on the block-type coding assembly 200. can explain the difference between The robot device 300 uses the display 341 and/or speaker 342 included in the output unit 340 to display the difference between the program code for learning and the program code based on the block-type coding assembly 200 as visual data and/or Alternatively, it can be output using auditory data.

Assuming that the degree of similarity is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than 1, the feedback unit 353 causes the robot device 300 to display a description of the difference between the first program code 301 and the second program code 302 through a display 341 or It can be output through the speaker 342. As a specific example, the program code comparison unit 352 directly compares the difference between the first program code 301 and the second program code 302 by saying, "The robot device 300 did not move left, but moved backward! " description can be printed.

In another example, the program code comparison unit 352 may indirectly output a difference between the first program code 301 and the second program code 302 . In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the main block 210 and the option block 220 may have different colors according to types and values, respectively, and the program code comparison unit 352 may have a "red main block (for right turn movement)". The color of the main block 3021) may output an explanation saying "The robot device 300 did not act!". For example, the robot device 300 may output a speech saying "The robot device 300 did not act in a red main block (representing the color of the main block 3021 for right turn movement)!". According to this embodiment, a patient with dementia or a patient with mild cognitive impairment can perform color recognition training as well as language recognition training.

Meanwhile, the feedback unit 353 may output a notification that learning has been successfully completed when the similarity calculated by the program code comparison unit 352 is 1. The output that learning is complete may be performed using visual data and/or auditory data in the output unit 340 included in the robot device 300 .
