INTERACTION DESIGN FOR PETS'AND PET OWNERS'EMOTIONAL COMMUNICATION PRODUCTS UNDER MULTIMODAL FUSION
To address the problem of missing or single way of emotion recognition in pet and pet owner communication products,which makes it difficult to grasp and control the emotional state of pet and pet owner in time and thus causes obstacles to the emotional communication of pet and pet owner,we propose a bidirectional interaction design method for pet and pet owner emotional communication products under a multimodal computing framework to achieve accurate recognition of pet's and pet owner's emotion and interactive feedback to facilitate the emotional communication.Based on the existing cross-modal fusion of audio analysis and computer vision for human emotion recognition,we propose a new method for pet emotion recognition and a two-way interaction design model for pet and pet owner emotion communication products in a multimodal perspective,in response to the ambiguity of cat imagery needs and the diversity of owner emotion needs,and linking pet and pet owner emotions with their corresponding needs.The multimodal emotional interaction model for pets'and pet owners'emotional communication can promote a virtuous cycle of pet owner communication through emotion recognition,demand determination,and interaction feedback.Therefore,building a multimodal interaction design model for pets'and pet owners'emotional communication products,can enhance the intelligence of pet products,accurately grasp pets'and pet owners'emotions,and eliminate communication barriers between them.
