Abstract
A control method of an interaction robot according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving a user input, by the interaction robot; determining a robot response corresponding to the received user input, by the interaction robot; and outputting the determined robot response, by the interaction robot, wherein the step of outputting the determined robot response includes the steps of: outputting a color matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to a light emitting unit, by the interaction robot; and outputting a motion matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to any one or more among a first driving unit and a second driving unit, by the interaction robot.
Core Innovation
The invention relates to a control method of an interaction robot that receives a user input, determines a robot response corresponding to the received user input, and outputs the determined robot response by the interaction robot. The outputting includes outputting a color matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to a light emitting unit, and outputting a motion matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to any one or more among a first driving unit and a second driving unit.
The response determination includes converting the received user input into a character string and separating the character string into words. An emotion matching and color matching process uses an emotion classifier to extract an emotion matching to the separated words and a color matching to the emotion from the emotion classifier.
The emotion classifier has a plurality of words matched to an emotion and sorted in advance, periodically crawls data including a specific sentence, and matches, when a word other than the plurality of words matched to an emotion is included in the crawled specific sentence, an emotion to the word on the basis of the emotion matched to the other words included in the specific sentence. The interaction robot can also authenticate a user before receiving the user input, operate as an Internet access point (AP), recognize user approach history to provide leading questions, and group clustered interaction robot groups based on usage so that updates and applications can be collectively performed or installed in the grouped robot groups.
Claims Coverage
The document contains two independent claims: a control method of an interaction robot and a control server of an interaction robot. Across these claims, the coverage focuses on receiving user input, determining a robot response, outputting color matching and motion matching, and emotion-to-color extraction using an emotion classifier with pre-sorted emotion words and periodic crawling of data including a specific sentence.
Emotion classification with periodic crawling for emotion-to-word matching
The emotion classifier has a plurality of words matched to an emotion and sorted in advance, periodically crawls data including a specific sentence, and matches, when a word other than the plurality of words matched to an emotion is included in the crawled specific sentence, an emotion to the word on the basis of the emotion matched to the other words included in the specific sentence.
Character-string conversion and word separation for emotion extraction
Converting the received user input into a character string and separating the character string into words, and extracting an emotion matching to the separated words and a color matching to the emotion from an emotion classifier.
Synchronized color output to a light emitting unit and motion output to driving units
Outputting a color matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to a light emitting unit, and outputting a motion matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to any one or more among a first driving unit and a second driving unit.
Robot response control by user input reception, robot response searching, and outputting
Receiving a user input; searching for and determining a robot response corresponding to the received user input; and outputting the determined robot response, wherein outputting the robot response includes outputting a color matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to a light emitting unit and outputting a motion matching to the received user input or the determined robot response to any one or more among a first driving unit and a second driving unit.
Control server implemented with program operations and network data storage
A control server comprising one or more processors, a network interface, a memory for loading a computer program performed by the processors, and storage for storing large-scale network data and the computer program, wherein the computer program includes an operation of receiving a user input; an operation of searching for and determining a robot response corresponding to the received user input; and an operation of outputting the determined robot response.
Overall, claim coverage centers on outputting a robot response using color matching to a light emitting unit and motion matching to driving units, where robot response determination includes converting user input into a character string, separating into words, and extracting an emotion matching and corresponding color via an emotion classifier that uses pre-sorted emotion words plus periodic crawling of data including a specific sentence to match emotions to additional words.
