[One Embodiment of the Intelligence System]
Referring to FIGS. 1˜2E, FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an intelligence system of one embodiment of the instant disclosure, FIG. 2A shows a schematic diagram of a key characteristic-behavior chart of one embodiment of the instant disclosure, FIG. 2B shows a schematic diagram of a key characteristic-relative information chart of one embodiment of the instant disclosure, FIG. 2C shows a schematic diagram of a key characteristic-situation chart of one embodiment of the instant disclosure, FIG. 2D shows a schematic diagram of a key characteristic-emotion chart of one embodiment of the instant disclosure, and FIG. 2E shows a schematic diagram of a key characteristic-style chart of one embodiment of the instant disclosure.
In this embodiment, the intelligence system 1 is used and configured in a predetermined space A1. For example, the predetermined space A1 can be a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a study room, a conference room and the like. The intelligence system 1 comprises a database 11, an event recognition module 12, an event analysis module 13 and a service-information providing module 14.
The event recognition module 12 comprises an image capturing unit 121 and an image recognition unit 122. The image capturing unit 121 captures an image within the predetermined space A1, and transmits the image to the image recognition unit 122. The image recognition unit 122 recognizes a key characteristic in the image, and then captures part of the key characteristic as a key characteristic image. The image and the key characteristic image are both stored in the database 11.
In this embodiment, when there is difference among the images captured by the image capturing unit 121, an event is triggered. In other words, the articles, the movements of the articles in the relevant frames of images and the illuminance of the relevant frames of images are all recorded in an event.
In this embodiment, the database 11 can be a remote database or a local database. For example, the data stored in the database 11 can be information in any field, such as the financial information, political information, legal information, international trade information, or information relevant to movies, video games or images. In addition, the above information can be acquired for free or with charge.
The intelligence system 1 further comprises a communication module (not shown), and this communication module can be a wired communication module or a wireless communication module. The intelligence system 1 is connected to an external network or the database 11 through this communication module. For example, if the database is a local database, the intelligence system 1 can be connected to an external network or a remote database through this communication module.
The event analysis module 13 compares the key characteristic with a key characteristic-behavior chart, a key characteristic-relative information chart, a key characteristic-situation chart, a key characteristic-emotion chart or a key characteristic-style chart to generate a comparison result. In this embodiment, the service-information providing module 14 is a display screen, which is configured as a system unit of the intelligence system 1. The event recognition module 12 and the event analysis module 13 are configured as another system unit of the intelligence system 1. It is worth noting that the system unit comprising the service-information providing module 14 and the system unit comprising the event recognition module 12 and the event analysis module 13 have the same size. In this embodiment, the system unit comprising the service-information providing module 14 is 12″×12″.
The key characteristic-behavior chart records different behavior modes corresponding to each key characteristic. For example, there are several possible behavior modes corresponding to the key characteristic that “a user U is sitting on the sofa” as follows. One behavior mode may refer to watching TV, another behavior mode may refer to surfing the Internet, still another one may refer to working, and the other behavior mode may refer to sitting idle. It should be noted that, different behavior modes recorded in the key characteristic-behavior chart are given various weights. The event analysis module 13 calculates and then obtains which behavior mode a user is likely to have by using algorithms relevant to the fields of machine learning and Deep Belief Network (DBN), such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Deep Neural Network (ANN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and the like. Thus, the key characteristic-behavior chart can always be updated and recorded. When the user's data is recorded by the intelligence system 1, the event analysis module 13 of the intelligence system 1 can generate a user preference chart (not shown) by collecting each key characteristic of the user, behavior modes and scenarios. This user preference chart is stored in the database 11 as an reference to predict the user behavior. In addition, the event analysis module 13 can periodically record and predict the user's health according to key characteristics, such as the user's expressions, body temperatures and figure. In this embodiment, different key characteristics may correspond to the same behavior mode. Thus, different weights may be given to the same behavior mode.
The key characteristic-relative information chart records different information corresponding to various key characteristics. For instance, when a user U takes his mobile phone and enters the predetermined space A1 and the image recognition unit 122 recognizes the game application used by the user as a key characteristic, the event analysis module 13 collects the information relevant to the game application though the external network or the database 11, and the service-information providing module 14 provides players’ comments, the players’ discussion forum or game tips to the user. Moreover, the event analysis module 13 collects the information relevant to the players’ discussion forum, game tips, in-app purchases, and update weights recorded in the key characteristic-relative information chart according to the content required by the user.
The key characteristic-situation chart records scenarios corresponding to different key characteristics. As shown in FIG. 2C, if the computer is recognized as the key characteristic, the corresponding scenario may be a working scenario or a recreation scenario and the working scenario or the recreation scenario are given different weights. The intelligence system 1 provides the information relevant the working scenario or the recreation scenario to the user U according to the comparison result generated by the event analysis module 13. For example, if the event analysis module 13 determines that the scenario corresponding to the recognized key characteristic is the working scenario, the intelligence system 1 provides relevant profiles, websites or conference call software to the user according to the user's needs for work.
When the user enters the predetermined space A1, the image capturing unit 121 captures an image of the user and transmits this image to the image recognition unit 122. The image recognition unit 122 recognizes the image and obtains key characteristics of the image, such as the user's appearance, gender, hair style, outfit, body temperature, expression, personal belongings and even a position where the user is standing at. Different parts of the image which are corresponded to various key characteristics are taken as key characteristic images of different key characteristics, and are all stored in the database 11. The event analysis module 13 analyzes these key characteristics by comparing these key characteristics with the above described key characteristic-behavior chart, key characteristic-relative information chart or key characteristic-situation chart, and generates a comparison result. It should be noted that, in addition to the key characteristic-behavior chart, the key characteristic-relative information chart or the key characteristic-situation chart, the time information, geographical information, weather, air temperature, moisture, environmental events (such as natural disasters or man-made hazards) can also be considered by the event analysis module 13 to predict the user's needs. In other embodiments, the intelligence system 1 can work with other smart home appliances (not shown). For example, the intelligence system 1 can provide a control message to the smart home appliances, such as a smart LED lamp, a smart refrigerator, a smart air-conditioner and the like according to the comparison result.
The image capturing unit 121 can be a common camera module, an infrared camera module, a 3D camera module, an ultraviolet camera module and the like. In addition, the event recognition module 12 may have other sensors, such as micro phone, a 1D acceleration sensor, a 3D acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, a G-sensor and the like to obtain each kind of sensing signal within the predetermined space A1 for further analysis.
The event analysis module 13 can recognize and analyze the key characteristic of the static articles within the predetermined space A1. Specifically speaking, the intelligence system 1, which is configured within the predetermined space A1, captures an image of the predetermined space A1, and recognizes the key characteristic of each static article within the predetermined space A1. For instance, the predetermined space A1 can be a living room. The event analysis module 13 of the intelligence system 1 recognizes the key characteristic of each static article within the predetermined space A1, such as the style or the color of the sofa, the coffee table, the carpet, the telephone and the like, and stores the recognized key characteristic as the predetermined data of the predetermined space A1. According to the room design of the predetermined space A1, the intelligence system 1 can recognize the key characteristics obtained within the predetermined space A1 to further analyze the user's preferences. Moreover, when the articles within the predetermined space A1 are moved to other places, taken away or there is an article brought into the predetermined space A1, the intelligence system 1 will provide relevant information to the user. For example, when the event analysis module 13 of the intelligence system 1 recognizes that one article has been moved to another place, the service-information providing module 14 provides relevant information to the user, such as the time when the article was moved to another place, the person who took the article to the other place, the original position of the article, the original spatial distribution, the current spatial distribution or the current article usage rate of the room. In addition, the intelligence system 1 can provide information relevant to the room design of the predetermined space A1, such as the styles of the room design, information relevant to the articles in the room, and the prices of the articles in the room.
In this embodiment, the intelligence system 1 can predict the user behavior according to the user's expressions (as shown in FIG. 2D) or the user's outfits (as shown in FIG. 2E), or can provide messages or services according to the user's personal style.

[Another Embodiment of the Intelligence System]
Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of an intelligence system of still another embodiment of the instant disclosure. In this embodiment, the intelligence system 3 is configured within the predetermined space A3. The predetermined space 3 comprises a first intelligent sub-system S31, a second intelligent sub-system S32, a third intelligent sub-system S33, a fourth intelligent sub-system S34, a fifth intelligent sub-system S35 and a sixth intelligent sub-system S36.

In addition, the first intelligent sub-system S31, the second intelligent sub-system S32, the third intelligent sub-system S33, the fourth intelligent sub-system S34, the fifth intelligent sub-system S35 and the sixth intelligent sub-system S36 all have the image capturing unit (not shown in FIG. 7) as described in the last embodiment to capture images of different regions of the predetermined space A3. The first intelligent sub-system S31, the second intelligent sub-system S32, the third intelligent sub-system S33, the fourth intelligent sub-system S34, the fifth intelligent sub-system S35 and the sixth intelligent sub-system S36 are configured within different regions of the predetermined space A3, so according to the images captured within the same time interval but within different regions of the predetermined space A3, the position of the user can be obtained. Different intelligent sub-systems S31˜S36 can recognize the user's key characteristic within various regions of the predetermined space A3 to further predict and record the user's behavior modes in different regions.
For example, when the moving path of a user is a first path P1 shown in FIG. 7, the intelligence system 3 can determine that the user enters the first region A31 of the predetermined space within the time interval from 19:00 to 19:20 according to the first intelligent sub-system S31. According to the second moving trace P2 of the user within the time interval from 19:30 to 21:00 obtained by the first intelligent sub-system S31, the fourth intelligent sub-system S34 and the fifth intelligent sub-system S35, the intelligence system 3 can determine that the second moving trace P2 of the user within the time interval from 19:30 to 21:00 is from the first region A31 (the living room), to the fourth region A34 (second bedroom) and then to the fifth region A35 (the room for working out). According to the third moving trace P3 of the user within the time interval from 21:00 to 21:20 obtained by the fifth intelligent sub-system S35 and the sixth intelligent sub-system S36, the intelligence system 3 can determine that the third moving trace P3 of the user within the time interval from 21:00 to 21:20 is from the fifth region A35 (the room for working out) to the sixth region A36 (the kitchen). According to the fourth moving trace P4 of the user within the time interval from 21:20 to 22:30 obtained by the sixth intelligent sub-system S36 and the first intelligent sub-system S31, the intelligence system 3 can determine that the fourth moving trace P4 of the user within the time interval from 21:20 to 22:30 is from the sixth region A36 (the kitchen) to the first region A31 (the living room). In other words, the intelligence system 3 can determine the behavior modes of different users within different regions and different time intervals, so as to further provide different information to different users in various regions, such as the information relevant to TV programs, movies, financial news, sports news and the like.
Briefly, the intelligence system 3 can obtain the position of the user and also can predict the user's movement. Additionally, by combining the intelligent sub-systems S31˜S36 configured within different regions A31˜A36, the intelligence system 3 can predict the user's behavior. The intelligence system 3 can not only predict the position of the user, but can also predict the moving path of the user over time.
[One Embodiment of the Method for Providing a Message and/or Service Adapted to an Intelligence System]
Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 shows a flow chart of a method for providing a message and/or service adapted to an intelligence system of one embodiment of the instant disclosure. It should be noted that, the method for providing a message and/or service provided in this embodiment can be adapted to the intelligence system 2 described in the above embodiment, so the following illustration is based on the structure of the intelligence system 2.
The method for providing a message and/or service provided in this embodiment at least comprises the following steps. Step S500 is to determine whether an event has happened, if no, step S500 is repeatedly executed, but if yes, it goes to step S510. Step S510 is to capture an image within the predetermined space and to recognize a key characteristic from the captured image. After that, it goes to step S520, and step S520 is to provide a service or a message according to the key characteristic.
In step S500, the image capturing unit 2110 of the intelligence system 2 continually detects whether an event has happened within the predetermined space. When there is a difference among the images captured by the image capturing unit 121, an event is triggered. In other words, the articles, the movements of the articles in the relevant frames of the images and the illuminance of the relevant frames of the images are all recorded in an event.
