Abstract

To provide a robot for the deceased possession for enabling a bereaved family to accept the death of the deceased and enabling the deceased to pass away without anxiety by making a preparation during life time.SOLUTION: A robot 1 includes a human type robot body 10, and a mask 11 attached to the face part of the robot body. The mask is created by performing 3D scanning of the face of the deceased with a 3D printer to resemble the deceased. The robot body reproduces voice messages and motions subjected to motion capture of the deceased collected during his/her life time, presents the feeling of artificial possession for a fixed period (49 days) after the death of the deceased. As the 49-th day comes closer, behavior of the likeness of the deceased gradually reduces, and reports a world view of Pure Land, representing that the death of the deceased is approaching. After the lapse of 49 days, a bereaved family or the like is made to intuitively recognize that the deceased passes away without performing behavior of the artificial possession.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a deceased robot.

  For example, when a message is sent to a bereaved family or the like after his / her death, it can be realized by using a system in which a video message is recorded in advance before his / her death and the video message is delivered to the bereaved after his / her death.

Special table 2008-510233

  The survivor who receives the video message will play the video message and watch the video at his convenience. Since it is a secondary plane reflected on the display screen of a TV or personal computer, it is not much different from watching photos and videos taken before life, and the deceased's life feeling is not produced, and only memories are seen. Also, because the bereaved family is busy, it may be difficult to see the timing. In particular, video messages can be viewed at any time because the survivors who receive them cannot actively destroy or erase the data, and will remain at hand for hours, It is easy to happen that you don't see it. On the other hand, for a person who remembers the deceased and plays a video, no matter how many times it is played, only the same video is played back repeatedly. As a result, it is not possible to know whether the Buddha was buddhad or still in this world, and in some cases it may be difficult to accept death.

  The above-described problems are described as independent ones, and the present invention does not necessarily have to solve all of the problems described, and it is sufficient that at least one problem can be solved. In addition, the structure for solving this problem has the intention to acquire the rights by divisional application and amendment alone.

  (1) In order to solve the above-described problems, the deceased robot of the present invention is a robot including a humanoid robot body and a face attached to a face portion of the robot body. Is similar to the face of the deceased, and the robot body has a pseudo dependence function that performs a behavior resembling the deceased for a certain period after the death of the deceased, and after the elapse of the certain period after the death, the pseudo dependence function The fixed period after death is a period according to the period required for Buddhist buddha.

  The robot body behaves like a deceased person, and a humanoid robot with a similar face behaves like a deceased by covering the head of the robot body with a face resembling the face of the deceased This works synergistically, creating a feeling of deceased and facilitating empathy for the bereaved family. After a certain period after death, the pseudo-dependence function does not operate, and since it is a period according to the period required for adultery to occur for a certain period after the death, after the death, the behavior of the deceased is performed for a while. By not working, the bereaved family can understand sensuously that the deceased has passed through the world of this world and can accept death. The behavior includes speech of the deceased's mustache, sneezing and yawning, daily life sounds, and actions such as characteristic movements. Furthermore, the behavior by voice includes, for example, a robot unilaterally speaking a message and a conversation with a bereaved family. In the case of providing a conversation function, for example, there are various developments such as performing a pseudo conversation as in the invention of (3) below, or establishing a more advanced conversation using artificial intelligence. If a real voice is acquired before the deceased's life, or motion data is acquired by using motion capture or the like, the personality can be reproduced with high quality and a sense of life can be given.

  (2) The pseudo-believing function may execute an action with a strong deceased person at the beginning of a certain period after death, and an action with a tendency of the deceased person to become weaker as the period elapses. In this way, as time passes after you die, you can feel that you are gradually moving away to the world, and you can recognize that you are approaching the Buddha.

  (3) The pseudo interdependence function is provided with a function of performing a conversation with a person, and the conversation may be performed without using artificial intelligence. By using simple algorithms without using artificial intelligence, conversations that do not mesh can be generated. Conversations that do not mesh, for example, have a dementia or a feeling of talking with a blurred person, especially when the deceased is an elderly person, there seems to be some sort of conversation, and there are situations that are misaligned, sometimes Even if you talk about something neat, you can get a reality that matches the circumstances of the deceased. On the other hand, for example, if you use artificial intelligence and an accurate conversation is established, the feeling of dying may not change, and if you use artificial intelligence and occasionally have a funny conversation, you will get a frustration. There is a risk of lack of reality. On the other hand, by using a simple algorithm as in the present invention, the feeling of being naturally blurred appears and the feeling of growing up can be created. If the conversation is established too much, it feels like you were back when you were young before you died, there is no deceased just before you died, and even if you are talking, you do not feel that you are talking to the nearest deceased, but the present invention is like that It is good because there is nothing wrong. It is also possible to establish a conversation as if the memory has returned from time to time.

 (4) The behavior may be an operation based on the voice acquired before the deceased's life and the movement of the deceased when the voice is emitted. For example, if the voice and movement are performed together, such as yawning while stretching out, the movement of the hand before and after sneezing, and the appearance of the mustache moving with a spear, let the robot Even in behavior, by reproducing these two actions at the same time, it is possible to improve reality and create personality. As described in the embodiment, there are various types of operations based on individual movements, such as copying a deceased person's movement as it is or deforming it.

  (5) The behavior may be an operation based on the deceasedness of home appliances. Operations on home appliances are one of the characteristics of people, and by performing operations that the deceased had done well in life, the deceasedness can be brought about, and from the state of home appliances that operate with that operation, the bereaved family Etc. is good because you can remember and experience the situation before the deceased. In particular, recently, home appliances can be operated with a remote controller, and some remote controllers can give instructions to a plurality of household appliances.

  (6) The fixed period after death may be divided into a plurality of appropriate periods, and the action performed by the pseudo-dependence function may be changed for each divided period. The act of changing may be changed entirely or partly. By changing in this way, for example, during the period from the death of the deceased, through the Pure Land, and finally becoming a Buddha, various referees and experiences may be carried out, and actions appropriate to the situation will be performed for each period It is good because the bereaved family can recognize the fact that they have gone to Buddha, and that they have made Buddha. The periods may be divided, for example, in units of weeks, or may be divided in units other than weeks, and the lengths of the divided periods may be the same or different. Since the law is often performed at a predetermined multiple of 7 until the Buddha is completed, one period may be configured from one or a plurality of laps with the week unit as a basic unit.

  (7) The robot body may be a home robot. If you use a platform for home robots, you can easily build a robot for the deceased. In other words, it is much cheaper and faster than developing humanoid Android from scratch. As home robots are provided with control software for operating the robots such as choreographing movements, for example, choreography can be easily performed by using the control software.

  The present invention makes it possible for the bereaved family to live close to each other during the period from the death of the deceased to the establishment of the Buddha by allowing the robot to pseudo-independently for a certain period after death, and the bereaved can accept the death of the deceased. By preparing it before birth, you can grow up with confidence and become a new form of redemption.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not construed as being limited thereto, and various changes, modifications, and improvements can be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention. This system includes a robot 1 that operates only for a certain period after the death of the contract subject, and a server 2 that provides information for operating the robot 1. The robot 1 behaves (pseudo dependent) as if the deceased person who is the contract subject relied on. For a certain period of time, for example, 49 days, the deceased should go through the world, and it is good to match with the full shadow of the successful completion of the Buddha. In this way, during the period from when the deceased passed through the Pure Land to the completion of the Buddha, the bereaved family and others were able to think about “life and death” through the deceased. However, because it does not perform the pseudo-government, the bereaved family can intuitively understand that the deceased has become a solid Buddha, and it can be dismissed. In addition, after a certain period of time, the pseudo-behavioral action will not be performed, so it will not remain attached to the deceased by being permanently present, and the bereaved family will accept the death of the deceased and process a healthy ugly process Can be completed.

  The robot 1 is configured by mounting a face 11 resembling a deceased person who is a contract subject on the head 10a of the robot body 10. As the robot body 10, for example, a commercially available general-purpose home robot (for example, Pepper (registered trademark), NAO (registered trademark), etc.) may be used, and such a home robot / communication robot may be used as a platform. Therefore, the system can be configured inexpensively and easily.

  The face 11 scans the face of the contract target person in 3D and processes the 3D data into a face shape. Then, 3D printing is performed using a full-color resin. The face 11 manufactured in this way is similar to the deceased person who is the contract subject (see FIG. 1B). The both ends of the mounting band 11a are attached so as to extend over both side edges of the face 11. A member having elastic restoring force, such as a rubber band, may be used for the mounting band 11a. The length of the width of the surface 11 and the total length of the mounting band 11a when no load is added is the head of the robot body 10. The setting is shorter than the entire circumference of the portion 10a. Thereby, with the mounting band 11a extended, the face 11 is set on the front side of the head 10a and the mounting band 11a is arranged so as to go around the head 10a. Thereby, the surface 11 is firmly attached to the front side of the head 10a by the elastic restoring force of the mounting band 11a.

  The robot 1 includes a control unit 20, a touch panel 21 as an input unit, a microphone 22, a camera 23, and the like, a display unit 24 as an output unit, a speaker 25, a motor 26, and the like. Further, the robot 1 includes a storage unit 27, a communication unit 28, an external device interface 29, and the like. The control unit 20 executes a predetermined process in accordance with input from the input means (touch panel 21, microphone 22, camera 23, etc.), and outputs the execution result to the output means (display unit 24, speaker 25, motor 26, etc.). Performs pseudo-going operation, voice output, message information display, etc. The robot body 10 includes a tablet 12 in front of the chest, and the touch panel 21 and the display unit 24 described above are configured by the tablet 12.

  The motor 26 is mounted on the joint portion of the robot body 10, and by appropriately driving the motor 26, for example, the joint portion such as the elbow and the shoulder and the forearm and the upper arm are moved, and the joint portion of the neck and the waist is moved. Or

  The communication unit 28 has a function of connecting to the Internet or other public line network 3. The control unit 20 accesses the server 2 via the communication unit 28, acquires information necessary for performing pseudo-government, and stores the information in the storage unit 27.

  The external device interface 29 connects a predetermined external device, gives an instruction to the external device, and acquires information from the external device. In terms of the present invention, the external device is For example, a remote controller 5 for operating the home appliance 4 is used. A specific configuration such as a function for the robot 1 to perform pseudo-going is as follows.

[Pre-processing]
The hardware configuration of the robot body 10 may be the same as the basic configuration of the general-purpose communication robot / home robot described above. In order to operate this system, an application program (application) for performing pseudo-independence is installed in the robot 1 and information used when executing the application program is stored in the storage unit 27 and the server 2. Store. Then, the control unit 20 executes the application program. In order to create such an application program and information, the following pre-processing is executed.

  Interview the contracted person, etc., and acquire information for performing pseudo-independence. The acquired information is stored in the terminal 6 for initial setting, for example. For example, the system provider meets a contract target person, a family living with the contract target person, etc., and takes a hearing or a questionnaire about lifestyle habits. The questionnaire is about basic attributes, and may be acquired by using, for example, the terminal 6 at the interview site or using a prior Web questionnaire or the like. Basic information includes, for example, sex, age or age, personality, wake-up time, bedtime, religion, and the like. The collected questionnaire data is stored in the storage area for the contract target person of the server 2.

  In addition, interviews will be conducted with the contracted persons, voice messages such as messages and life sounds will be recorded, and movement data will be acquired. The motion data may be, for example, a daily motion such as a natural motion often performed when the contracted person is screaming, a motion of companion, a motion of laughing, or a motion of yawning. By acquiring such daily actions and reproducing the movement by the robot 1, it is possible to bring out a state of pseudo-independence. It is good because it feels like you are doing.

  The messages we collect include, for example, “wills and messages to close people”, “what we talked about before our life, mustaches, what that person is likely to say” and “self after death or who became a robot” Comments ". The collected messages are output from the microphone 22 by the robot 1 at an appropriate timing in a certain period after death, and the bereaved family listens to the messages.

  Examples of collected messages include “wills and messages to close friends” such as “contents of specific wills such as what to give to anyone” and “be careful of your body and sleep properly at night. Please feel free to say anything to the other party, such as "Thank you so far." The contracted person thinks about his life and death by thinking about his will and message to his close friend. Although the will using the message is not recognized as a formal one, it can leave supplemental information for the regular will and the “will” in a more realistic and realistic manner.

  In addition, “what I talked about before my life, mustache, what the person is likely to say” is, for example, “I want to drink beer, beer”, “Kora, do it properly”. When the robot 1 speaks such a content, it can express the feeling of pseudo-dependence more strongly, and the bereaved family who hears it can remember and remember the life of the deceased, and make a memorable story. As a trigger, I can be satisfied with the sudden death of a close person, and I can say goodbye.

  “Comments on the assumption of myself after death or who became a robot” are, for example, “It ’s good if you do n’t have a body” or “This is because I already crossed the Sanzu River”. By issuing such a message, the bereaved family can be reminded again that the deceased have already died, or can gradually be recognized as approaching the Buddha.

  The collected living sounds are sounds generated in daily life, for example. Such a sound is difficult to generate by voice synthesis, and the voice synthesis causes a sense of incongruity, so the contractor's real voice was recorded and used. For example, “sounds that accompany daily actions (eg, sneezing, snoring, yawning)” or “answers that can be taken regardless of affirmation, affirmation / denial, etc. (for example, I understand. And so on "and" voices expressing emotions (for example, laughter, angry voices, etc.) ". The above-mentioned interaction / response is suitable for use as a highly versatile response. Also, these life sounds are preferably used by the contracted person. For example, as for the answer / answer, etc., by collecting phrases etc. used by the contracted person like a habit from the beginning of life, and playing it back, the feeling that the deceased is actually talking to the robot 1 in a pseudo manner Rise.

  The raw voice of the contracted person such as messages and life sounds collected as described above is stored as local data. The storage to the local data is finally performed in the conversation data storage unit 27a of the storage unit 27 of the robot body 10. The conversation data storage unit 27a may be stored, for example, by connecting the terminal 6 directly to the robot body 10, or stored in the storage area for the contract target person of the server 2, for example. You may download to the robot main body 10 via the network 3. In addition, the timing of storing in the conversation data storage unit 27a may be performed in advance before the fixed period after death starts, or may be performed when the fixed period after death starts.

  The acquisition of the movement data of the contract target person includes data acquisition using motion capture and video data acquisition using a video camera. Based on the movement data acquired by these methods, the robot 1 is choreographed. This choreography process has two patterns, automatic choreography and manual choreography. That is, automatic choreography is performed based on data acquired using motion capture.

  For example, Kinect or other various motion sensor devices may be used to acquire data for performing automatic choreography. Kinect outputs a quaternion (quaternion) used for posture expression as posture information of the contract subject from the position information of each part of the contract subject's body, and stores it in the terminal 6. In response to an instruction from the operator, the terminal 6 links posture information corresponding to an operation desired to be automatically choreographed to software for controlling the posture of the robot body 10 (for example, Choregraph). The posture of each part such as the elbow vector, the elbow-to-wrist vector, and the wrist twist vector is reproduced, and the coordinate data of each part of the robot body 10 is discharged to the CSV and stored as local data. By using a general-purpose communication robot or the like for the robot body 10, it is possible to easily perform automatic choreography on the robot body 10 using the posture control software provided for the robot.

  For example, the manual choreography is not used for the contract subject's movement itself, but is used when, for example, the contract subject's motion is deformed and the robot body 10 is choreographed. For example, if there is an unusual gesture of the contracted person during audio recording, etc., if the movement of the gesture is plain and motion capture is performed as it is and it is difficult to understand, the video is taken. By deforming and directing exaggerated movements, it is possible to convey to the bereaved family, etc., a unique gesture that insists on the deceasedness. In this manual choreography, for example, an animation showing a deformed motion based on a photographed image or the like is created, and manual choreography is performed using software for posture control of the robot body 10 based on the animation. Such an animation may be created on software for posture control, and may be choreographed to the robot body 10 based on the animation. By creating an animation, the robot body 10 can make a desired movement. For example, the movement is not limited to a plain and difficult to understand operation. The robot 1 can be reproduced by using manual choreography.

  Data relating to posture control of the robot body 10 set by manual choreography in this way is also stored as local data. The storage to the local data is finally performed in the motion data storage unit 27b of the storage unit 27 of the robot body 10. The conversation data storage unit 27a may be stored, for example, by connecting the terminal 6 directly to the robot body 10, or stored in the storage area for the contract target person of the server 2, for example. You may download to the robot main body 10 via the network 3. In addition, the timing of storing in the conversation data storage unit 27a may be performed in advance before the fixed period after death starts, or may be performed when the fixed period after death starts.

  At the interview site, in addition to the above-mentioned standard message and the accompanying movements, it is checked if there are any unusual / characteristic lifestyles. And record behavior. Then, based on the recorded information, the terminal 6 performs the above-described processing, generates choreography processing for the robot body 10, that is, data for controlling the posture in which the robot body 10 performs a desired movement, and the local data Store as. Such lifestyle habits include, for example, “exercising muscles in the evening”, “practicing laps daily”, “practicing yoga before going to bed”, and the like. As illustrated above, when the operation is performed in a specific time zone, information on the time zone in which the motion is performed is also stored in association with the data for posture control accompanying the motion. For example, in “Lap Practice”, in addition to gestures and gestures that are performed during laps, some laps are actually told, and conversation data is also recorded.

  In this way, not only the lap but also the above-described movement data acquisition and voice recording are performed simultaneously, the movement and conversation data are stored in association with each other. By associating in this way, the robot 1 performs a specific movement in accordance with the reproduction of the sound when the sound is recorded, so that the reality may be further increased.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, by incorporating the elements of non-verbal communication, the robot 1 can bring out the character of the deceased and the bereaved family can be more emotionally transferred. As non-verbal physical feature information, body data such as “face”, “voice”, “gesture”, “lifestyle” is adopted. As for “face”, as described above, the face of the contract target person is 3D scanned to obtain data.

  2 and 3 are diagrams focusing on the data structure that actually operates the system in a certain period after death. In the server 2, a questionnaire data storage unit 2a for storing a questionnaire result acquired at the time of initial setting, a speech synthesis text storage unit 2b for storing data for conversation, and religious data are stored. A religion-related data storage unit 2c is provided. In the storage unit 27 of the robot main body 10, conversation data storage unit 27a that stores the voice of the deceased person who is the contract subject acquired during the interview, and data related to posture control for causing the robot main body 10 to perform a predetermined movement are stored. A motion data storage unit 27b is provided. Each of these storage units stores specific items shown in FIG.

[Processing function for a certain period after death]
As described above, the present system is characterized in that the deceased manipulates the robot 1 for a certain period after the death of the deceased person who is the contract subject and does not operate after a certain period. Hereinafter, functions for performing the operation will be described.

  When the contracted person dies, the robot 1 for implementing this system is installed in the deceased or the family of the deceased. In this installation, for example, the bereaved family informs the system provider that the contract subject has died, and accordingly, the robot body 10 and the face 11 are delivered to a designated place such as the home. The survivor who received the robot body 10 and the face 11 attaches the face 11 to the head 10a of the robot body 10 and places the robot 1 at a predetermined position in the room, and turns on the power of the robot body 10 to start up. To do. In addition, as for the surface 11, you may deliver the robot 1 of the state with which the system provider side was previously mounted | worn with the robot main body 10. FIG.

  The control unit 20 executes the basic flowchart shown in FIG. 4 every day. The control unit 20 determines the activation time based on the internal clock provided in the robot body 10 (S1). It is determined whether or not the wake-up time of the deceased obtained by the questionnaire has passed, and if it has passed, the process proceeds to the next processing step and the operation of getting up is performed (S2). For example, the motion of getting up may be a movement of the robot 1 or utterance. In particular, when there is an action or a moustache that the deceased often performed when waking up, it may be reproduced. The robot body 10 of the present embodiment cannot walk on two legs, and the robot body 10 cannot lie down or stand up from there. So, for example, when sleeping, the upper body is bent forward from the waist and the neck is also bent forward, so that, for example, the motion to get up is from the sleeping posture, In some cases, the waist and neck are straightened to face the front. Such an operation is not limited to the above, and it is preferable to perform some kind of action so that it can be seen that the state has transitioned to the state awakened from sleeping. Voices such as “I woke up” or “Good morning” may be used, but in the case of voice-only processing, the bereaved family may miss the voice, so the posture when sleeping is different from the posture when waking up. It is better to move up from at least the sleeping posture to the posture when waking up, and not only to change between the two postures, but also to put a larger movement in the middle. It ’s good because it feels like getting up.

  After performing such a rising operation, daytime activities are performed (S3). In the daytime activity, if there is a daily work acquired at the time of the interview, movements and voices accompanying the daily work based on the current time are performed. Also, if there is a mustache or a frequently performed operation, it is executed at an appropriate timing, and a conversation with the bereaved family is performed at an appropriate timing.

  Further, the control unit 20 determines the bedtime based on the internal clock provided in the robot body 10 (S4). It is determined whether or not the bedtime of the deceased obtained by the questionnaire has passed, and if it has passed, the process proceeds to the next processing step, and a bedtime operation is performed (S5). The processing steps S3 and S4 are repeated as appropriate until the branch determination at S4 becomes Yes. The sleeping operation may be the movement of the robot 1 or utterance, similar to the above-described rising operation (S2). In particular, when there is an action or a mustache that the deceased often performed at bedtime, good. The sleeping operation is preferably a motion that changes from a posture when waking up to a sleeping posture, for example, contrary to the operation of getting up.

  The basic flow of each process described above is repeated in common from the first day to the 49th day. When the robot body 10 is turned on and started on the first day, the ON state is continued until 49 days have elapsed. In addition, as will be described later, the control unit 20 irregularly executes the process of artificially relying on the robot 1 and completing the Buddha on the 49th day of the final day when the power is turned on on the first day.

  FIG. 5 shows a more specific processing flow executed every day. As shown in the figure, the control unit 20 determines whether or not it has internal data (S10). In this process, it is checked whether or not data such as contents to be performed every day is stored in the storage unit 27. If it is not stored (S10 branch decision is Yes), this time is the first activation, the server 2 is accessed, and the content for the entire period is downloaded from the server side.

  In response to this download request, the server 2 executes data processing on the server 2 side shown in FIG. 6, for example, and generates necessary content data. The control unit 20 stores the downloaded content data in the storage unit 27. By storing the data in the storage unit 27, it becomes possible to perform a pseudo interrogation process locally without accessing the server 2 for a certain period after death.

  The control unit of the server 2 accesses the questionnaire data storage unit 2a, picks up the age and gender in the stored questionnaire data, and selects the basic animation, that is, the movement of the robot based on the age and sex. Further, the control unit of the server 2 accesses the text-to-speech text storage unit 2b, acquires text data uttered at an appropriate timing in a certain period after death, and text data acquired based on the age characteristics of the contract target person Is processed. For example, the basic composition sentence is processed to change first person and ending by age and gender. As an example, if the basic sentence is “I think this is △△”, the first person's XX part is “I” for women, “I” for men, and “I” for the elderly. In the △△ part at the end of the word, apply “wa” for women, “zo” for men, and “nja” for elderly people. Thereby, for example, when the contract subject is a woman, a text sentence “I think so” is generated from the basic composition sentence.

  Further, when the contract target person is performing Twitter or LINE, the person's tweet history or LINE talk history text downloaded from the Twitter API is stored in the speech synthesis text storage unit 2b. And the control part of the server 2 produces | generates a new sentence using the Markov chain from the text data of those tweet log | history and talk log | history. Since the sentence generated in this way is somewhat broken, it is better to supplementarily use it as a subtext. In particular, if the contracted person is an elderly person or an elderly person, the broken text may be slightly blurred.

  The control unit of the server 2 requests the speech synthesis external server 8 such as AITalk (registered trademark) for the speech synthesis text processed and generated in this way, and creates speech data in the external server. The voice data file (ogg file) created in this way is downloaded to the robot body 10 (local).

  Further, the control unit of the server 2 acquires the religion view stored in the questionnaire data storage unit 2a, that is, the religion that the deceased believes, accesses the religion related data storage unit 2c, and changes the religion view of the deceased. Extract and download the audio / video data group based on it. The audio data includes, for example, the reading of each legal requirement on the first seven days, twenty-seventh, ... forty-nine days corresponding to the view of religion. The moving image data includes, for example, an image showing the world of Jodo corresponding to the view of religion.

  Furthermore, information such as an event start time for reproducing / outputting the content is also downloaded. Further, along with the download, the control unit 20 sets reference date information. The reference date and time information is a starting date and time of a certain period after death, and operates for 49 days from the starting date and time. The reference date / time information is obtained, for example, as the reference date / time information based on the date / time when the control unit 20 acquires the date / time of the download from the internal clock.

  The data download process of the above-described process step S11 is performed at the time of the first activation, and thereafter, the branch determination of S10 is Yes, so the process proceeds to process step S12, and the control unit 20 confirms the activation days, and the activation days. Refer to the data of necessary contents according to. Necessary contents corresponding to the number of startup days will be described later. The number of activation days is obtained based on the current date and the reference date information. For example, it is one day until 24 hours have passed since the date and time of the reference date and time information. Thereafter, every 24 hours, one day is added. The date and time of calculation is not limited to the date and time of download as described above. For example, the date and time when the power source is first turned on and the control unit 20 starts the application of this system may be used. The actual date and time may be registered. If the date and time of death are registered, a certain period after death ends at the timing when the Buddha is actually matured, which may increase reality. On the other hand, when the downloaded date and time is used as in the present embodiment, the robot 1 can be made to perform pseudo-depending for a certain period of time (for example, 49 days) after the robot 1 can actually perform the pseudo-dependent movement after downloading. It ’s good for the bereaved family to have enough time to say goodbye to the deceased. In addition, since the registration process of the reference date / time information is automatically performed by using the date / time such as download or power ON, the survivors who use this system need only turn on the power of the robot body 10 and it is easy. It is good to be able to use the system.

  Next, the control unit 20 determines whether a predetermined wake-up time has been reached (S13). This determination process is the same as the activation time determination (S1) in the basic flow of FIG. It is determined whether or not the wake-up time of the deceased who has been downloaded from the server 2 has passed, and if it has passed, the process proceeds to the next processing step and the operation to get up is performed (S14). As described above, this rising motion is realized by the movement of the robot 1 or the utterance. The sleeping posture is such that the robot 1 is nodded with both arms lowered, and when standing up in the daytime after waking up, the robot 1 stands upright as shown in FIG. And as an action to get up, it is better to perform a "large stretch" action to give a feeling of awakening. The specific action of “stretching greatly” is, for example, to raise both hands, and bend the joints of the waist part and the neck part in the backward direction so as to sway the upper body backward. At this time, it is better to simultaneously execute a voice uttered at the time of awakening, such as “Fuwa ~”. After executing this rising motion, the posture is shifted to the posture when it is standing as shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, during the daytime, the mode shifts to the conversation standby mode (S15), whether there is a conversation start trigger (S16), whether a predetermined event start time is reached (S17), and the bedtime. It is determined whether or not (S18). If there is a conversation start trigger (S16 branch decision is Yes), the conversation mode is activated and a random conversation (pseudo conversation) is executed. In addition, when a predetermined event start time is reached (Yes in S17), an arbitrary event is activated. When the bedtime is reached (Yes in S18 branch determination), the bedtime mode is entered, conversation and event activation are stopped, and the bedtime operation is executed (S19). This sleeping operation is the same as the operation in S5, and both hands are lowered and the upper body is lined up and the head is tilted forward as if lying. Further, for example, if there is a mustache that speaks at bedtime, such as “sleeping” or “sleep first”, it may be generated in accordance with the bedtime operation.

  Random conversation (pseudo-conversation) executed in response to the conversation mode is activated by the control unit 20 executing the processing flow shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 7, the basic processing flow is as follows. When the robot 1 side speaks through the speaker 25 (S21), and the bereaved who heard the speech responds to the speech, the control unit 20 on the robot 1 side. Recognizes the response voice acquired by lending the microphone 22 (S23), determines the intention of the response (S24), and utters any corresponding voice data through the speaker 25 (S25). Have a pseudo-conversation.

  A more specific processing flow for carrying out such basic processing may be as shown in FIG. First, the “conversation start trigger” in which the processing step S16 is YES is based on a voice such as calling an “deceased person name” (for example, “Etsuko”) set in the initial stage or hitting the shoulder of the robot 1. There are things based on physical shocks.

  When the conversation mode is started by trigger activation, the robot speaks (S21). That is, the control unit 20 accesses the conversation data storage unit 27a, extracts an appropriate sentence from a voice file created by voice or voice synthesis of a deceased person such as a message, and utters the sentence.

  The control unit 20 waits for an utterance from the bereaved family (S22). If there is no response within a certain time (for example, within 20 seconds) (No in S22), the conversation mode is terminated and the process returns to S17 in FIG. On the other hand, if there is a response within a certain time, the response is recognized and the response content is converted to text (S23).

  Next, the control unit 20 determines the intention of the response (S24). The intention determination performed here is classified into, for example, “positive response”, “negative response”, and “other”. If a sentence that is uttered at the time of a positive response such as “Yes” or “Yes” is included in the text that has been recognized by voice recognition, it is determined as “positive reply” and voice recognition is performed. If a sentence that is uttered at the time of a negative response such as “No” or “Difference” is included in the text that is made into a text, it is determined as a “negative response” and both are included. If not, it is determined that the response (other) does not apply to either.

  The control unit 20 selects an utterance suitable for the response from the voice file created by voice synthesis, and utters the selected voice (S25). Then, the control unit 20 waits for an utterance from a bereaved family or the like (S26). If there is no response within a certain time (for example, within 20 seconds) (No in S26), the conversation mode is terminated and the process returns to S17 in FIG. On the other hand, if there is a response within a certain period of time, the process jumps to 23 to perform voice recognition of the response and converts the response content into text. As a result, the pseudo-conversation is continued as long as the response from the bereaved family continues.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to the branch mode for determining the intention and performing the utterance, there is provided a random utterance mode in which the intention determination is not performed and the voice data is uttered randomly as a response on the robot side. In the branch mode, the robot side can use a speech file created by speech synthesis that can prepare various responses, so that conversation can be easily established. On the other hand, in the case of the random utterance mode, it is preferable to use prerecorded voice data of the deceased's real voice. By incorporating randomness, it is good to create a personality of old / post-mortem by creating a ghostly appearance, not passing each other in the conversation. In particular, using voice data of the real voice makes the feeling of the deceased speaking more intense, and even if there is a conversation, etc., it makes it easier to give a tolerant feeling that it is not the deceased, and enjoy the conversation of passing be able to.

Further, in the present embodiment is characterized in that does not utilize artificial intelligence or or with or with the communication robot, or an external conversation auxiliary server for a conversation. By not using artificial intelligence, the intention determination is also roughly classified as “affirmation, denial, etc.”, and does not judge the specific meaning of the response of the bereaved family. For this reason, even in the branch mode, there may be a slight appearance of the passing / non-meshing of the conversation, and even such subtle shifts may cause the appearance of personality after retirement / ex post-mortem, with the appearance of ghosts. it can.

  Branch mode and random utterance mode are mixed and activated so that the order of activation and the frequency of each activation are not regular. As a result, conversations often engage well at one time, but conversations often do not mesh at other times. It can be recognized as such. In that case, for example, when the deceased is relatively old and the degree of blurring from before life may vary from day to day, the situation can be reproduced. In addition, the longer the activation date, the higher the activation frequency of the random utterance mode. In this way, you can feel that you are gradually approaching the Buddha.

  Further, when the robot 1 speaks, the control unit 20 may control the operation of the output unit (particularly the motor 26) so that the robot 1 performs a predetermined behavior / movement. For the movement at the time of conversation, for example, basic pattern movements are prepared, classified by age group, and the adjusted movement is stored in the motion data storage unit 27b. For adjustment, for example, movements of men and women in their 60s and beyond may slowly perform the basic pattern operation so that the movements of women in their 20s and 50s are smooth and the movements of men in their 20s and 50s are smooth. Furthermore, adjustments should be made based on personality. For example, if the personality is gentle, the speed of the robot's behavior is slow, and if it is aggressive, the robot's choreography is intense.

  Furthermore, in addition to the basic pattern operation, it is also preferable to use a specific movement partially or automatically extracted from the contract person. The motion optimized for the deceased is stored along with the motion source audio file. The control unit 20 controls the basic pattern operation so that the robot 1 behaves when there is no specific motion in the speech data to be uttered. If there is a specific motion linked to the speech data to be uttered, the control unit 20 Control 1 to behave.

  For example, when using the Choregraph prepared as the control software for the robot body 10, the control for performing the voice output and the movement and behavior of the robot at the same time is performed, for example, each voice to be uttered in the Choregraph box as shown in FIG. This can be done easily by arranging a file (ogg file) and robot motion data and playing them back simultaneously.

  Event triggers include, for example, performing daily activities registered through questionnaires at the time when they were performed before life, operating home appliances, distributing video content, playing sound when legally required, etc. . It is recommended that the robot behave at the same time when this event is executed. For example, if the deceased has a habit of living, such as when the deceased operates the remote control immediately and turns on the air conditioner or lowers the set temperature, move the forearm back and forth around the elbow before operating the remote control. After swinging and making a hot shake, turn on the air conditioner, which is the actual event, or lower the set temperature.

  On the other hand, if there is a living habit where the deceased gets cold and immediately raises the temperature setting, before operating the remote control, for example, cross your arms in front of your chest or swipe your hands before your mouth. After performing the behavior that expresses the cold, such as bringing it to the room, it turns on the air conditioner that is the actual event, and performs the process of raising the set temperature.

  In addition, since the distribution of the moving image content is output to the display unit 24 of the tablet 12 installed in front of the chest of the robot body 10, the behavior of the robot 1 is, for example, stretching the chest or holding the periphery of the tablet 12 with both hands. It is good to perform the operation | movement which cooperates with the tablet 12 by touching. In the case of reading aloud, it is better to take a palm-splitting posture with both hands at the same time and move to read the sutra.

  As described above, the robot 1 activates a conversation mode or event every day for a certain period after death. In the present embodiment, the content of the utterance in the conversation mode or the event to be activated is determined according to the elapsed time since death. Control to change. As a result, it gradually leaves the present world and creates a feeling that it crosses the world and approaches the Buddha, making it easier for the bereaved family to accept the separation from the deceased. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, forty-nine days until the completion of Buddha is divided into a plurality of periods in units of one week. Each period is composed of one unit or a plurality of units. As an example, the period is divided into four periods, and the first period is a period in which intercession is performed, and the first week corresponds. The second period is a period in which the lifestyle before birth is reproduced, and corresponds to the second to fourth weeks. The third period is a period for executing the pure soil content, and corresponds to the fifth week and the sixth week. The fourth period is the period when the adult Buddha countdown is executed and corresponds to the seventh week. An example of a specific conversation or event in each period is as follows.

  The first period (1st week) is a period in which the deceased relies on the robot, and the message / action specified when the application of this system is activated is activated. The unique event performed in the first period is a dependency event when the application is started on the first day. “When the app starts on the first day” is the start time of the event. This interdependence event, along with a message at the time of start-up, gives the robot a soul. The startup message is registered by the contracted person at the time of the questionnaire, and the voice data of the startup message is stored in the conversation data storage unit 27a, so the control unit 20 generates it. The production where the soul stays in the robot is to execute the motion of the cover. For example, from the state where the robot 1 is nodded, stand up with the upper body up, spread both hands diagonally up and down, It is a movement to look around. After looking around, it issues a startup message registered in advance as the first voice.

  As another event, there is an event that requires the first seven days to be held at 18:00 on the seventh day. This first 7th day required event reads out the voice data of the first 7th day required from the storage unit 27 and downloads it. At this time, the robot should behave at the time of reading.

  Conversation content expresses how the deceased is becoming familiar with the body of the robot. In addition, I will give comments that assume my self after death or who became a robot. For example, “I don't have a body is a good thing” or “I'm a little sad to be hungry”. Note that the above-described event and conversation content are examples, and there are various types (hereinafter the same).

  The second period (2-4 weeks) is a period in which reproduction of life habits continues, replaying words, daily conversations, life sounds, and operations of home appliances, etc. . The unique event performed in the second period includes a home appliance operation event that is executed over the entire period. The start time of this event is a predetermined time, and it is not always necessary to wait for every day. For example, the time of the day may be set at random when waking up each day. The time set at random is not limited to one and may be plural. By making the time and the number of operations random, it is possible to create a feeling that the deceased is operating the home appliance according to the feelings and circumstances at that time. When the operation target home appliance is a television, the event start time may be the start time of a television program that the deceased liked. Also, if the deceased likes television and keeps it on all day long, the event start time is set to a time that is the same as or slightly later than the wake-up time, It is good to execute the process of turning on the TV.

  This household appliance operation implements the flowchart shown, for example to Fig.11 (a). Further, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), a home appliance operating device 5 ′ (IRkit) is used as the remote controller 5. The home appliance operating device 5 'is connected to the robot 1 using, for example, WiFi, and the home appliance operating device 5' outputs infrared light of a control signal to control a predetermined home appliance.

  Other events are the 27th day legal event held at 18:00 on the 14th day, the 37th day legal event held at 18:00 on the 21st day, and the 4th event held at 18:00 on the 28th day. There is an event that requires 7 days. Each of these legal events is conducted by the robot reading through the format of each sect. At this time, the robot should behave as reading time.

  Conversational content, for example, utters things that were often spoken before life, speech, and what the person is likely to say. For example, “I want to drink beer ~ beer”, “Kara, be sure you ’re good”. In addition, there are dialogues and the like that are emitted when the home appliance is operated. For example, say "I'll put on this air-conditioning room, air-conditioner" prior to air conditioning (cooling), or say "I ’ll turn on the TV, turn on the TV, turn on the channel, etc." Display TV programs.

  The third period (5th to 6th weeks) is a period in which the “reproduction before life” weakens, and the actual situation of gradually going over to the next world is mixed, and the countdown message and the final word become more specific. A unique event to be performed in the third period is a pure soil content event that is performed at a predetermined time of the entire period. Like the home appliance operation event, the predetermined time may be a regular time every day or may be set at random. This Pure Land Content Event is a video that shows how you are approaching Pure Land. Also, when you play this video, you should speak utterances that are live from the deceased's perspective, such as “I am here now, my soul”. Such audio data is preferably a prerecorded deceased human voice, but if the recording fails, an audio file generated by speech synthesis may be used.

  As another event, there is an event requiring a 67th day law held at 18:00 on the 42nd day. This legal event is performed by the robot reading through the format of each sect. At this time, the robot should behave at the time of reading.

  Conversation content, for example, has a live situation that is gradually going to Jodo. For example, “This is because I have already crossed the Sanzu River”. He also gives his reflection and confession during his lifetime. By expressing regrets, the bereaved family is more likely to approach the Buddha, and by registering a message with such content, the contracted person thinks about his life and death, and his history is his own. It can be left in the mouth. Such a message is, for example, “I did a good thing but I did a bad thing.

  The fourth period (seventh week) is a period for counting down toward the 49th day of Buddha and performing the final farewell. Eventually, the robot will speak a farewell word set in advance, and the program will disappear after performing the Buddha movement. The unique event performed in the fourth period includes a farewell countdown event performed at a predetermined time after the 47th day. This predetermined time may be a predetermined time or may be random. This event is to say farewell, such as “I ’ll say goodbye tomorrow”. Also, the behavior of the robot should be in a weak state, for example, taking a depressing posture.

  Another event is the Buddha event held at 18:00 on the 49th day. In this event, after the robot performs the behavior of the Buddha, the motion program ends completely. And all the local data stored in the memory | storage part 27 are deleted automatically, and an application cannot be restarted. For example, the behavior of adult Buddha should be such that the arms should be lowered from the standing posture, the neck joint and the hip joint should be bent forward as much as possible to displace the upper body and head down, for example, It is better to behave at the end.

  The conversation content is, for example, a will or message to a close person. For example, “Please take care of your body and sleep properly at night” or “Thank you so much, it was good to be with you”.

  According to this system, the deceased person of the contracted person can have an opportunity to think about his life and death by conducting interviews and preparations before his life, and can leave a will in a more realistic and realistic manner. , It brings about various merits such as preparation for the bereaved family and important people, and the ability to leave your own history in your own mouth.

  In addition, the survivors such as the bereaved will be able to convince the sudden death of a close person. It becomes a grief care that heals the sorrow of death. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the event of the Buddha event is executed, the application of this system cannot be restarted, so that it can be understood intuitively that the deceased has been successfully formed without remaining in the world.

  In addition, compared to existing wills and video messages, the characteristics of the deceased person can be realized through visual, audio, and real-time behavior, making it easier to empathize and experiencing the feeling that the person is in front of you. It ’s good because you can be more impressed with the message. In addition, the experience of the world view of religion makes it easy to understand the world after death, and not only the phenomenon that the deceased disappeared from the front, but also the fact that the deceased traveled to the post-mortem world and became a Buddha, the death of the deceased Will be able to accept. Furthermore, the video message remains as it is unless the survivor voluntarily discards the media on which the video message was recorded or erases the data. It's not emotionally possible to throw away or erase like that. As a result, the video message remains indefinitely and may become one of the expressions in memories, or conversely, death may not be accepted. On the other hand, in this system, since data is automatically deleted and cannot be restarted, occurrence of such a problem can be prevented.

[Application to religious views]
This system is optimized for each sect, focusing on Buddhism. In other words, even in the same Buddhism, each sect (Jodo Shinshu, Nichiren Buddhism, Tendai Buddhism, etc.) has different reading practices, timings of reading, and the view of the world of Jodo until Buddhist Buddhist life. Furthermore, the difference increases when religion changes with Shinto, Christianity, etc. It is recommended to prepare events that change the timing of events and the events to be executed for each religion and sect, and change the behavior of the robot for a certain period of time after death based on the religious views registered in the questionnaire.

  For example, in the case of Jodo Shinshu, the sound of a wooden fish is not sounded, and the operation of a palm is entered. Therefore, when the robot 1 reads a sound, the sound of a wooden fish is not used and the behavior of a palm is performed. Furthermore, reading is only required for the first seven days and 49 days. Therefore, the event in the case of Jodo Shinshu will be held on the seventh day at 18:00 on the seventh day. In this event, the robot will read the Jodo Shinshu ceremony (no fish, no palm). There is no reading in the 2nd to 4th weeks, and there is no reading in the 5th to 6th weeks. However, at 18:00 on the 35th day, a moving image distribution event is executed to distribute a moving image of the Mizuno River, and the robot reads out the situation. Also, at 18:00 on the 42nd day, a moving image distribution event is executed, the state of Jodo is distributed as a moving image, and the robot reads out the situation. Then, at 18:00 on the 49th day, a 49 day legal event is held. In this event, the robot will read the Jodo Shinshu ceremony (no fish, no palm).

  In addition, Nichiren Buddhism reads “Nanmu Myoho Lotus Flower” every day. In Shinto style, the 10th, 20th, and 30th festivals will continue, and so the period after death will be longer. By dealing with each religion in this way, it becomes possible for religious people to use it as a more realistic transmission and promotion of the sectarian worldview.

[Modification]
In the above-described embodiment, the content for the entire period is downloaded from the server side at the first activation. However, for example, the server may be accessed every morning and content data required on or after that day may be downloaded little by little. May be. However, as in the embodiment, if the entire period is downloaded for the entire period on the first day of startup, it is not necessary to connect to the Internet thereafter, and the processing may be simplified.

  Further, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, when a certain period of time has passed after death, the local data is deleted, and the application of this system cannot be restarted. In the present invention, it is not indispensable to delete local data in this way. If local data is not deleted, the application itself is deleted or a flag such as reading prohibition is set in the local data, and the application does not start normally. However, it is preferable to delete the local data as in the embodiment because the application can be restarted only by deleting the application without deleting the local data.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment arrangement modification, the robot main body is also delivered from the system provider, and when a certain period of time has passed after death, the robot main body is returned to the system provider, that is, in the rental method. If you already have the same kind of home robot / communication robot, you can use your own home robot / communication robot as the robot body, download the necessary data, and install the app.

  Further, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, the face 11 is attached to the head using a wearing band and does not come off as the robot body shakes the head, but for example, when a certain period of time has passed after death. It is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the face 11 is detached from the head. In such a configuration, for example, a detachable connecting member is provided in the middle of the mounting band or at a connection portion between one end of the mounting band and the surface 11. The connecting member is always connected, and the face is firmly attached to the head of the robot body by the elastic restoring force of the attachment band. And when a fixed period passes after death, a connection member will detach | leave, the connection part of a mounting band will leave | separate, and it is good for the surface 11 to fall naturally from this. If it does in this way, it will be possible for the bereaved family to intuitively recognize that the face 11 is removed from the head 10a of the robot body 10 and that it cannot be restarted.

  The robot main body 10 of the above-described embodiment includes the camera 23. When the predetermined authentication process is performed from the face of the conversation partner photographed by the camera 23, the conversation partner is specified, and a conversation suitable for the conversation partner is performed. good. Since the content of the first utterance is the one that was talked to, the intention is determined in the subsequent branch mode, and even if the utterance based on the determination result is performed, there is little deviation, and the content of the examination difference in the random utterance mode Is no longer uttering, so conversation is preferred.

  Further, in the above-described embodiments and modifications, pseudo-conversation without using artificial intelligence is used. However, a configuration in which artificial intelligence is used for part or all of the conversation may be adopted. When using artificial intelligence, it is good to give information about the latest situation (especially conversational habits etc.) where the deceased will die and to reproduce the conversation of the person.

  In addition, the deceased robot according to the present invention collects information about the deceased in advance and causes the robot to perform the behavior as if the deceased had deceased after the death for a certain period after death. , By using a part of this technology, that is, making it behave like the person himself, for example, before / after death, based on the collected contract person (reproduction person) information It is also possible to cause behaviors such as For example, in a situation where you live in an area away from your parents (parents), you or your child (grandchildren for parents in your parents) will be the target of reproduction, and questionnaires, interviews, etc. will be performed to obtain 3D facial data To do. Interviews about lifestyle habits include hobbies, activities that are often performed, and school life in the case of your own children (grandchildren for parents at home). Although it is not possible to return home in a remote place, and there is a means to talk while looking at each other with a video phone etc., the timing of both of them is synchronized because the life time zone of the parents and themselves / children are different It is not possible to make a telephone call, and even if it can be made, it takes a short time. On the other hand, if the robot behaves like the person to be reproduced, the parents of the parents who are in a remote place can feel as if their children or grandchildren are nearby and spend a simulated experience together .

  In the case of such a usage form, the dependent period may be finite or infinite. Further, the robot accesses the server 2 via the Internet at an appropriate timing such as every day or every week, and performs pseudo-independence based on information stored in the questionnaire data storage unit 2a, the speech synthesis text storage unit 2b, and the like. Information should be collected and updated. In this way, for example, by updating information on messages and other lifestyle habits on the server 2 side, parents in their parents' homes can know the current status of their children and grandchildren. .

  Furthermore, the reproduction target person is not limited to a family member or a close relative, and may be a person whose performance is a business, such as a singer or an entertainer. For example, a robot that behaves with a celebrity face, a celebrity voice, and a characteristic gesture can be provided and used for TV production, CM, event production, theater and stage performance sales promotion, and the like. In addition, the characters in the play can be reproduced by a robot, imitating the characters / actors. In addition, due to the characteristic of the present invention that mass production can be performed at low cost, it is possible to duplicate a large number of robots of the same person. Thus, it can be applied not as a deceased robot but also as an entertainment robot performing for the general public.

  As described above, various aspects of the present invention have been described using the embodiments and the modifications. However, these embodiments and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and are for understanding the present invention. It is added that it was provided to contribute. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the configurations and manufacturing methods explicitly described in the specification, and includes combinations of various aspects of the present invention disclosed in the present specification.
