Abstract

A communication-assisting method which uses the body motion above neck, the method comprising: capturing the image of a characteristic area above the neck for detection and tracking before positioning and capturing the image of a specific area above the neck; converting after image recognition specific long-time and short-time motions of different frequencies and orders into the long and short sounds of Morse code; converting the Morse code into computer readable standard code; calling the API function of the operating system so that the corresponding keyboard or mouse actions can be executed on the computer; and counting the number of the long and short sounds of the Morse code within a time period to perform self-communicating procedures. Therefore, the present invention can use the openness and closeness of a handicapped person's lip to assist the person to control electric appliances or to communicate with others.

Traditional aid systems that help people with disabilities communicate with each other. It is necessary to wear various accessories on the disabled. 'A disabled person can use a single-button Moss code to enter and use a head mouse', but the scales are after the long coffee distribution. It will cause uncomfortable situation two. In particular, patients with severe disability who have spinal arteries have no ability to control other sources of control as a source of sputum, such as single-key input and Ming control money, etc. Please don't hurt the whole == patients' way of communicating outwards only _^ 7 lips or open and closed images of the eyes, to send messages and electricity, computers or wheelchairs, automatic book-turning machines, bed lifts System, etc., is another innovation that Cup Ming people are committed to helping people with disabilities communicate with others. a [Summary of the Invention] It is necessary to wear various types of accessories for a long period of time. The present invention can solve the problems of the conventional disabled person's auxiliary devices, resulting in discomfort for the disabled. , 200847036 The present invention provides a method for providing a variety of methods, including the following steps: A. extracting the human body to assist the communication = describing the image for side tracking; C: for the human neck ==; & The image positioning and the % 疋 field motion image on the ,, after the image recognition: can = action, E. convert the non-financial and the deduction between the shackles into the specific action of the length of the Morse code, according to the national standard The code pair is changed, and the Moss stone two deer is made with the Moss code and the built-in computer in the United States; the inverse == simple function makes the computer produce the mouse two = _, counting the Morse code long or short '^仃豕Electric control;]. Perform self-external communication procedures. The specific areas described above include the lips, eyes, eyebrows, and head. The above-mentioned corresponding input and output operations include the support of the support, the cover of the month, and the point of the present invention. The present invention utilizes the action of the human body above the neck, and the method of using the lip to open and close, Read by the camera, enter the tir-shaped open and closed identification work, so that the disabled can pass the message to the outside, =: barrier = pass the message and control various appliances, computers or 'electric lift system, etc., which simplifies Disabled people control all kinds of homes to _',,, ', reduce system manufacturing costs and erection complexity, and use, do not wear any accessories, can provide a comfortable and convenient operating environment. 200847036 [Embodiment] Please refer to the figure - the present invention provides a method for assisting communication, including the following steps: the human body above MW and the image above the neck of the human body: Under the card brain photography will be the second picture). ^The shirt image processing work (please refer to B. Detecting and tracking the above images, detecting, face verification and tracking, etc. (please refer to the second picture) color space conversion, skin color c · on the human neck Specific areas above the department: To capture the image of the lips, eyes and head (please refer to the position and capture: the specific area on the main body is accurately positioned, the second picture), when the human neck is the above person __上(10); Calculate the image. After that, it can be divided into long time and short time for image. The technique of image recognition image processing puts the porch of the specific area to the _ work. 3 Take out the end and perform contour recognition. E·Using the Moss to identify the algorithm for a short time, the wire is divided into long-term and fine-ordered, and the contour action is converted into a Morse code. It is recognized that the wheel is taken from a specific area, such as a short sound. The closing time is !second, ^::'n the ratio of its length is as F. The Moss touch is converted into a computer that can be closed. The code, such as the shower in the fourth and fifth figures, is connected Keyboard and mouse international standard international standard _ comparison table, system function and English letters A ~ z Moss exhaust = 7 200847036 The long and short dragon country code enables the computer to generate the corresponding action. · It will recognize the movement of the Morse code and the standard code of the computer to simulate the execution of the mouse H and dragging (see the fourth figure). Action: Long and short action that causes the computer to generate a domain: When the keyboard of the Mosma is recognized, the total number of times of counting the long or short sound of the Morse code: the number of times... In order to control the corresponding home appliance hardware device, the mouth communication system is external. For example, if you want to turn on the number 1 home appliance, if: • Turn on once in the time period, you can start the number 1 home appliance, and the home appliance is 2=Γ If the lips are turned on again, the control method of the number 1 can be turned off. The wired control or the wireless remote control mode can be adopted. The human body that implements the above method is called: the method uses the roll-shaped open and closed state algorithms to apply the lip shape. Open and close two ^ tribute to take out 'through the line outline skills, determine the lip shape, open and closed state, and 'shaped open, closed motion image, after image recognition, converted into Morse code, input, computer 'Reuse the built-in loss of the computer Input interface [such as rs232, ^rallel port, USB P〇rt, PS2, IEEE 1394, Bluet〇〇th (Bluetooth), IR (infrared), etc.], to assist disabled people to control external appliances, computers or wheelchairs, automatic flip A book machine, a bed lift system, etc. The use of the present invention utilizes a human body action above the neck to assist in communication, and uses a lip-shaped open and closed state algorithm to pluck the lip-shaped open and closed states. Come out 'through the outline of the line, judge the opening and closing state of the lip shape, and convert the input and output of the 200847036 into the Moss code to the user, so that the computer has a lip-shaped opening and a closed-out sound signal. The voice signal is for the disabled to communicate without any obstacles. The message is sent, the limbs are all Lin Lin, the person is out of the way, the lip shape is right, and the law, including the face image _ and the chasing, closing action, swindling == When the lip image is read in, it can be used for color image measurement, face verification and tracking of the hang-like image and face detection, color (4) conversion, skin color detection, and image utilization. The lip image above the static position is accurately positioned Coincidentally, the second capture 4' will capture the captured image through the image recognition work wheel _ wheel, and carry out the contour movement of the lip-shaped open and closed wheels, and turn to the United States, the first built computer The Moss code shown in Figure 5 and the Shima 're-beer called the operating system's ΑΡΙ function two electric === the standard of recognition · < and drag 3 and other actions to achieve the movement of the help m τ heart, in addition, the present invention The real m 1 line of external communication purposes. There are open and closed eyes, eyebrows move more than ^ ^ shape open, closed action, but nod action, to ride the groove of the crotch of the action 'domain head or 200847036 ^ [schematic simple description] First Figure: A flow chart of the steps of the present invention.
