Description

Emotional perception training device and method

The present invention relates to an emotion perception training device and method for providing enhanced training for children who are unable to express their emotions clearly.

Generally speaking, it is very important for children to master the verbal description and expression of emotional perception during their learning stage. If they cannot master it effectively, it will easily lead to negative effects such as social isolation, lack of self-confidence, or closed personality.

However, due to many external factors, such as the single-child policy and 3C addiction, some children are not good at interpersonal interaction, which leads to weak emotional perception. In addition, they have difficulty using words to express their emotions. Some children cannot effectively observe, guess, and feel the situation of an event to understand their own and others' feelings, and effectively describe the event or talk to others. At this time, they must rely on special auxiliary teaching aids for parents and teachers to communicate with children further. Through correct teaching and guidance, children can fully and correctly describe an event or current emotional feelings, and talk to others.

Therefore, as for how to train children, it is currently known that most of them use teaching aids such as cards, pictures, or videos that express different emotions to carry out relevant role-playing, allowing children to enter the mood of role-playing to train their ability to express and perceive emotions.

However, the above teaching aids do have the following problems and deficiencies when used and need to be improved:

Children still cannot effectively solve the defects in emotional perception and expression. Even if the problem can be solved, the effect is limited. The reason is that the teaching aids are just descriptions of text and images. They cannot provide real stimulation, sense of presence, interaction, or actual sensory experience to help children cultivate empathy, empathy, or the ability to think from other people's perspectives. Although there are many somatosensory devices on the market, most of them are general games, such as virtual reality (VR). Obviously, this somatosensory device is not used for emotional perception, speculation, or expression training.

Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned problems and deficiencies in usage is the direction that the applicant of this invention and related manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study and improve.

The main purpose of the subject of the present invention is to provide a method for a first user to arrange the correct narrative statements through the expression graphics on a plurality of expression guides, just like making sentences, and to show them to a second user, so that the second user can learn the correct grammar and find the corresponding parts from the grammar to wear. Furthermore, before the above, the first user can use the vibration element, heating element, inflatable element, cooling element, and sound element in the somatosensory stimulation device to select the somatosensory option unit corresponding to the event status information through the control interface of the control device, so that the somatosensory stimulation device can be used to control the vibration element, heating element, inflatable element, cooling element, and sound element in the somatosensory stimulation device. The stimulus device can make corresponding actions according to the event status information, and then be worn by the second user, so that the second user can personally experience the physical and emotional perception of the event status information, so as to provide the most realistic sense of stimulation, presence, interaction, or actual sensory experience to help children cultivate empathy, empathy, or the ability to think from the perspective of others. In addition, the visual emotional perception can be further increased through the reality device, so that the second user can quickly train and learn the correct narrative grammar to correctly express and understand emotional feelings.

In other words, this case is a kind of play equipment or teaching aid. Through the process of playing, it can achieve the training effect of inspiring empathy, empathy, and sympathy. Especially in the current era of 3C electronic product addiction, children interact less and less with others. Therefore, through this case training device, it can effectively strengthen children's multi-sensory perception of other people's emotions, so as to practice expressing correct emotional feelings.

The structure of the present invention capable of achieving the above-mentioned main purpose includes a sentence carrier, a plurality of expression guides, at least one expression graphic part, an event status information, at least one somatosensory stimulation device, at least one vibration element, at least one heating element, at least one inflatable element, at least one cooling element, a speaker element, a control module, a reality device, a somatosensory signal receiving element, a reality signal receiving element, a control device, a control interface, and a plurality of somatosensory option units, wherein the expression guide is included in the sentence carrier, and the expression guide has the expression graphic part respectively, so that the event status information is generated after the expression guides are correctly arranged, and the somatosensory stimulation device corresponds to the expression graphic part information, and is provided for wearing on a second user. The somatosensory stimulation device includes the vibration element, heating element, inflatable element, cooling element, speaker element, and control module. The real world device corresponds to the information of the graphic part and is worn on the head of the second user. In addition, the somatosensory signal receiving element is arranged in the somatosensory stimulation device and is connected to the control module information. The real world signal receiving element is arranged in the real world device. The somatosensory signal receiving element and the real world signal receiving element are connected to the control device. The control device is provided with a control interface for controlling the vibration element, heating element, inflatable element, cooling element, speaker element, and real world device. The control interface is provided with a plurality of somatosensory option units whose information corresponds to event status information.

In this way, the first user can take a number of expression guides on the expression carrier and correctly arrange the expression according to the expression graphics on each expression guide to generate event state information that matches the emotion that the first user wants to describe at the moment. After that, when the expression guides are arranged, the first user takes the somatosensory stimulation device and inputs the corresponding somatosensory option unit according to the event state information. After that, the event state information with the correct arrangement of the expression is shown to the second user, and the second user is taught the correct way to express emotions. Then, the somatosensory stimulation device is worn on the second user. At this time, the somatosensory stimulation device will directly convey the somatosensory feeling to the second user, so that the second user can more directly understand the emotional feelings that the first user wants to express.

In addition, it can be worn on the head of the second user in conjunction with a real-world device, and the first user can operate the control interface based on the event status information. After the first user operates the somatosensory option unit, the real-world device will display the corresponding screen based on the somatosensory option unit, allowing the second user to use visual senses to enhance the first user's emotional feelings.

The above technology can effectively solve the problem of emotional perception and expression defects in teaching aids. Even if the problem can be solved, the effect is limited. The reason is that the teaching aids are just descriptions of text and images, and cannot provide real stimulation, sense of presence, interaction, or actual sensory experience to help children cultivate empathy, empathy, or the ability to think in other people's shoes. Although there are many somatosensory devices on the market, most of them are general games, such as virtual reality (VR). Obviously, such somatosensory devices are not used to break through the problem of emotional perception, speculation, or expression training, so as to achieve the practical progress of the present invention as mentioned above.

In terms of steps:

(a) Arranging event status information: A sentence carrier 1 includes a plurality of expression guides 11, each of which has at least one expression graphic part 111, so that a first user A can correctly arrange the sentence description for the expression graphic part 111 on each expression guide 11 to generate event status information 112;

(b) Take a somatosensory stimulation device: Take at least one somatosensory stimulation device 2, the somatosensory stimulation device 2 includes at least one vibration element 21, at least one heating element 22 arranged on one side of the vibration element 21, at least one inflatable element 23 arranged on one side of the heating element 22, at least one cooling element 24 arranged on one side of the inflatable element 23, a speaker element 25 arranged on one side of the cooling element 24, and a control module 26 connected to the vibration element 21, the heating element 22, the inflatable element 23, the cooling element 24, and the speaker element 25;

(c) Selecting a somatosensory option unit to control the somatosensory stimulation device: Based on the event state information 112, a control interface 41 on a control device 4 is used to receive the manipulation action of the first user A. At this time, the control interface 41 is provided with a plurality of somatosensory option units 411 whose information is linked to the event state information 112, so that after the first user A manipulates each of the somatosensory option units 411, a somatosensory signal receiving element 27 provided in the somatosensory stimulation device 2 receives the instruction, and the vibration element 21, the heating element 22, the inflatable element 23, the cooling element 24, and the sound element 25 can perform actions corresponding to the mutual information according to the somatosensory option unit 411;

(d) Selecting a somatosensory option unit to control a real device: Based on the event state information 112, the control interface 41 on the control device 4 is used to receive the manipulation action of the first user A, so that the first user A manipulates each of the somatosensory option units 411, and the real signal receiving element 31 in the real device 3 displays the corresponding screen according to the somatosensory option unit 411 after receiving the instruction;

(e) Teach the second user the correct description syntax: The event status information 112 displayed by the description graphic part 111 is given to a second user B for viewing, so that the second user B knows the correct description syntax for the event status information 112;

(f) The second user wears the physical stimulation device and the real-world device: the physical stimulation device 2 and the real-world device 3 are given to the second user B to wear; and

(g) The second user generates physical and visual emotional perception: The second user B generates physical and visual emotional perception due to the operation of the physical stimulation device 2 and the reality device 3.

Among the above steps, steps (a) and (b) can be swapped, and steps (c) and (d) can be swapped, which means that the order of steps (a) and (b), and (c) and (d) in this case can be swapped without affecting the implementation results of this case.

In detail, for example, when the second user B is to be trained on the correct way to describe his/her emotional perception, this case can be used to help the second user B grasp the concept of emotional expression and effectively organize correct sentences. Therefore, the expression guide 11 of this embodiment is taken as an example of extracting four sheets from the sentence carrier 1, and the expression graphic parts 111 on the four expression guides 11 are respectively "I feel", "chest", "feeling depressed", and "like a dark cloud on the head". The four expression guides 11 are used to organize the language structure and narrative framework that describe the correct emotions. This language structure is the event state information.

Of course, the second user B may have trouble organizing the sentences and may organize the event status information 112 in the wrong order of "like a dark cloud over my head", "feeling depressed", "I feel", "chest". Therefore, after the first user A organizes the event status information 112 in the correct sentence order, he can select the exclusion option that matches the event status information 112 through the control interface 41. When the signal receiving element 27 receives the expulsion option command, the command will be transmitted to the control module 26, and the control module 26 will control the heating element 22, the inflatable element 23, and the sound element 25 corresponding to the expulsion option to start operating. At the same time, the real-life signal receiving element 31 will also receive the expulsion option command, which will cause the real-life device 3 to produce a dark cloud and rainy scene, with a dim lighting environment.

Then, the four correctly organized and ordered expression guides 11 are shown to the second user B to convey the emotions of the first user A to the second user B, and at the same time, the second user B is taught the correct way to express emotions. Thereafter, the somatosensory stimulation device 2 and the reality device 3 are worn on the shoulder, chest and head of the second user B. The somatosensory stimulation device 2 uses the heat source of the heating element 22 to warm the chest, thereby generating a sense of heat, and uses the inflatable element 23 to inflate, so that the inflatable ball expands and compresses the chest of the second user B, forming a kind of pressure, and uses the rain sound emitted by the speaker element 25, and at the same time, it is matched with the dark clouds and rainy pictures and the dim lighting environment of the reality device 3. The second user B will directly feel the chest stuffiness in an analog element way (i.e., physical way), and the emotional feeling of dark clouds and drizzling rain above the head, which effectively increases the sense of experience.

According to the above example, by analogy, when a specific somatosensory option unit 411 is selected, the vibration element 21, the heating element 22, the inflatable element 23, the cooling element 24, and the sound element 25 will perform corresponding actions. For example, the vibration element 21 can produce a feeling of being touched or collided through vibration, and the cooling element 24 can produce a feeling of being indifferent through a cold feeling.

Please refer to the eighth and ninth figures, which are schematic diagrams of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention and a three-dimensional perspective diagram of the somatosensory stimulation device. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the present embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that the somatosensory stimulation device 2 is provided with a somatosensory stimulation control module 28, which has an information link to the control module. The group 26 is used to control the somatosensory stimulation control interface 281 of the vibration element 21, the heating element 22, the inflatable element 23, the cooling element 24, and the sound element 25. The somatosensory stimulation control interface 281 is provided with a somatosensory stimulation option unit 282 with several information corresponding to the event status information. In addition, the somatosensory stimulation device 2 is also provided with at least one light-emitting element 29. The light-emitting element 29 can generate a lighting effect corresponding to the event status information. For example, in the case of a scorching sun situation, a strong light source can be generated to specifically describe the dazzling effect of the sun.

Among them, the somatosensory stimulation control module 28 in this embodiment is taken as an example of a touch panel. The somatosensory stimulation control interface 281 in this embodiment is taken as an example of an APP software interface. The somatosensory stimulation option unit 282 is taken as an example of an option in an APP software interface.

Thus, when the second user B wears the somatosensory stimulation devices 2 on the shoulders, chest, waist, abdomen, buttocks, and legs at the same time, each somatosensory stimulation device 2 can operate independently or together to produce an artistic conception that is closer to the event state information, effectively helping the second user B to experience and understand the emotional state described by the first user, and can also play the operation in the reverse direction, such as the second user B arranging and organizing the event state information, and the first user experiencing it, the method is as described above, and no further elaboration is required.

In addition, through the design of the somatosensory stimulation control module 28, the somatosensory stimulation control interface 281, and the somatosensory stimulation option unit 282, the first user does not need to use an additional control device, that is, when the control device fails, the somatosensory stimulation control module 28 can be directly used to control the somatosensory stimulation device 2 and select the somatosensory stimulation option unit 282 corresponding to the event status information, which obviously has a certain degree of convenience.

Therefore, the emotional perception training device and method of the present invention are the key technologies that can improve usage:

First, through the expression graphic parts 111 on the expression guides 11, the first user A can arrange the correct narrative statements, just like making sentences, and show them to the second user B, so that the second user B can learn the correct grammar.

Second, the first user A can use the vibration element 21, heating element 22, inflatable element 23, cooling element 24, and speaker element 25 in the somatosensory stimulation device 2, and use the control interface 41 of the control device 4 to select the somatosensory option unit 411 corresponding to the event state information 112, so that the somatosensory stimulation device 2 can perform actions corresponding to the event state information 112, and then give it to the second user B to wear, so that the second user B can personally experience the somatosensory emotional perception of the event state information 112.

Third, the second user B can further increase the visual emotional perception through the real-world device 3, so that the second user B can be trained to learn the correct narrative grammar more quickly, enhance the attractiveness and strengthen the experience of the emotional atmosphere.

Fourth, the second user B can effectively train empathy, perspective-taking, and empathy during the game, as well as how to correctly express these emotions.

Fifth, through the design of the somatosensory stimulation control module 28, the somatosensory stimulation control interface 281, and the somatosensory stimulation option unit 282, the first user A does not need to use an additional control device 4, that is, when the control device 4 fails, the somatosensory stimulation control module 28 can be directly used to control the somatosensory stimulation device 2 and select the somatosensory stimulation option unit 282 corresponding to the event status information 112, which obviously has a certain degree of convenience.

Sixth, through the light and shadow effect design of the light-emitting element 29, the second user can have a more diversified experience and a deeper emotional experience.
