Description

{Infant safety management system and method using cloud robot}

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing infants and toddlers using a cloud robot. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for managing infants and toddlers efficiently by using a cloud robot linked to a cloud computing server and a cloud computing server, Infant safety management system and method.

As the number of double-income families increases, the number of foster care facilities for infants and toddlers has increased, and various studies have been conducted on infant and child safety management systems to safeguard infants and toddlers located in foster care facilities.

Accordingly, an infant and child safety management system that attaches or provides the RFID tag storing the personal information and the protector information to the infant and informs the protector periodically whether the infant is present in the protection area through the RFID reader unit has been researched and widely used .

However, in the conventional infant / child safety management system using RFID, since the caregiver only receives a passive transmission of whether or not the infant is located within the protection area, the protector can not accurately recognize the current state of infants and young children, It can not recognize an unexpected situation and can not perform an immediate response to an unexpected situation. That is, the infant and child safety management system using the conventional RFID tag has a disadvantage that it can not provide a service centered on the user (guardian or infant).

Also, according to the conventional RFID tag safety management system for infants and young children, it is possible to transmit a specific message to infants and young children in accordance with the current mood, condition, anniversary, etc. of the infant in consideration of the characteristics of infants and children, Since there is no separate means, infants and toddlers experience emotional instability until they come to the place.

In recent years, the robot has been used for the purpose of providing various services in the daily life of the human being in the earliest industrial purpose, and it has been widely used because of its advantages such as diversity of service, reduction of manpower, And the field of use is expected to increase gradually.

Accordingly, in order to solve the problems of the infant and child safety management system using the conventional RFID tag, various researches have been conducted on the infant and child safety management system for safely managing the infant using the robot.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining a method for taking care of infants and children disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1106073 (entitled "Method for taking care of infants using a robot").

(Hereinafter referred to as a conventional technique) S500 of FIG. 1 includes a moving step S501 in which the robot moves to a designated position at a designated time according to a moving scenario from the infant care server, and a moving step S501 When the infant is detected in the first monitoring step (S502) and the first monitoring step (S502), the robot captures an infant image through the camera and transmits it to the infant care server A second monitoring step (S503) of receiving the recognition result processed by the after-baby care server and monitoring the infant's state, a second monitoring step (S503), a determination step of determining whether a predetermined event has occurred (S504), and when a preset event is generated by the determination step (S504), the robot connects the video call to the guardian mobile communication terminal through the infant care server And a video call connection step (S505) of connecting the emergency center system and the video call through the infant care server under the control of the protector mobile communication terminal and transmitting the infant ' s location information together with the infant ' s child image.

According to the related art (S500) configured as described above, when a predetermined event occurs according to the current state of infants and young children as well as the position detection of infants and young children, images are transmitted to the guardian terminal (video call) The safety of infant and child care can be greatly improved.

However, in the related art (S500), when the number of infants to be managed such as foster facilities is plural, and the sensing distance of the sensor for detecting infants is less than 1m, there are plural infants and the detection distance of the sensor for detecting infants is within 1m In this case, it is not easy to detect many infants by using the sensor. If the sensing distance of the sensor is more than 1m, the discrimination ability of each infant detected is low. Even if a specific infant or child generates an event, It is difficult to discriminate between the users and the users.

Also, since the video call is made to the guardian mobile communication terminal only when a specific event occurs, the guardian is still manually provided with the service as in the infant and child safety management system using the RFID tag in the related art (S500) Can not monitor their own infants in real time.

In addition, the prior art (S500) has a disadvantage in that it can not provide a service for delivering a message of the guardian when the guardian wants to deliver a specific message to the infant according to the current mood, condition, anniversary, etc. of the infant.
