  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a first embodiment of a flying object according to the present invention. The flying object 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured to be capable of autonomously flying in the air and moving. FIG. 1A is a view of the flying object 1 of this embodiment as viewed from above, and FIG. 1B is a view of the flying object 1 of this embodiment as viewed from the front. .

  The flying object 1 of this embodiment includes an aerial flight mechanism 2 having a so-called quadcopter structure, and a drive control unit 3. The drive of the aerial flight mechanism 2 is controlled by a drive control unit 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the aerial flight mechanism 2 has four arms 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D extending from the drive control unit 3 and rotor blades (rotor) mechanisms 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D attached thereto. It is configured.

  The rotary wing mechanisms 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D rotate the rotary wing shafts (not shown) by the motor driving units 51A, 51B, 51C, and 51D, respectively, thereby rotating the rotary wings 52A, 52B, 52C, and 52D. It is configured to be driven to rotate. The rotation speed and the rotation direction of the motor drive units 51A, 51B, 51C, 51D are controlled by a drive control signal from the drive control unit 3. The motor drive units 51A, 51B, 51C, 51D and the drive control unit 3 use a battery (not shown) as a power source for rotational drive and a power source for drive control. Power is supplied from a battery to a camera, a microphone, various sensors, a display, a control unit, and the like, which will be described later. As the battery, for example, a rechargeable secondary battery is used. Further, a solar cell can also be used. When a solar cell is mounted, there is an advantage that the flying object 1 can fly while charging with sunlight during the daytime outdoors.

  In this example, the motor 1 is independently controlled by the drive control signal from the drive control unit 3 to control the motor drive units 51A, 51B, 51C, and 51D. , Diagonally upward), descend (directly downward, diagonally downward), right turn, left turn, forward, reverse, right shift, left shift, etc., and tilt with respect to the vertical direction. A posture control such as a corner and a position control of a hovering position can be performed.

  In the flying object 1 of this embodiment, a camera, a microphone, various sensors, and the like, which will be described later, are mounted integrally with the drive control unit 3 and a housing 6 that incorporates a drive control unit 10 including a control unit. Are formed. In this example, the housing 6 is configured in a box shape as a whole.

  Two legs 7A and 7B are attached to the housing 6 so as to face each other. In this example, the legs 7A and 7B are formed of trapezoidal pipe members, and are formed so as to stably hold the flying object 1 on the landing surface 8 as shown in FIG. ing. The shape and the member of the leg are not limited to this, and various shapes can be considered. For example, wood or metal material in which four legs are formed in a cylindrical shape at four corners of the housing 6 may be used. In addition, a movable wheel may be attached to the leg to facilitate movement on the landing surface 8.

  A display 9 having a display screen 9D is provided at a position above the rotary wings 52A, 52B, 52C, and 52D so as not to hinder the rotation of the rotary wings 52A, 52B, 52C, and 52D. The control unit 3 is supported and provided by being fixed to a support frame 9F which is erected from the upper surface of the part. In this example, the display 9 has a thin configuration including an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The display 9 may have a configuration of a display using another display device such as an organic EL (Electroluminescence). In FIG. 1, the display 9 has a flat plate shape, but may have a curved shape so as to make it difficult for others other than a viewer who looks at the display screen from the front to view the display screen. . Further, the display 9 may be provided with an eaves or a cover so that the display screen is hard to see by others other than the viewer, and the display screen is not hard to see due to reflection of sunlight or indoor light.

  Further, the connecting portions 9FA and 9FB between the display 9 and the support frame 9F may be in a fixed connecting state, or a straight line connecting the center position of the connecting portion 9FA and the center position of the connecting portion 9FB may be formed. The display 9 may be rotatably connected as a center of rotation. In addition, the support frame 9F may be movably erected. For example, if the flying object 1 can be rotated 360 degrees, the viewer can see the display screen from the front regardless of the direction of the flying object 1. Rather than manually moving the direction of the display screen 9D, a mechanism is provided for automatically rotating the display screen 9D (vertical rotation) and rotatable (horizontal rotation) to make the display position easy for the transmission target person to see. For confidential information, the display position may be changed so that other people cannot see it, or the display position may be controlled so as to avoid backlighting when outdoors. Further, a means for adjusting the viewing angle of the display screen 9D may be provided, and when confidential information is displayed on the display screen 9D, control may be performed so as to narrow the viewing angle so that other people cannot see it. In order to improve the visibility, the flying object 1 is provided with a function of distinguishing between indoor and outdoor, and a function of distinguishing the surrounding environment such as a backlight state and a light amount, and the brightness of the display screen 9D is controlled according to the determination result. Or contrast control may be performed.

  In this example, the display 9 is planted separately on the housing 6, but it goes without saying that the display 9 may be incorporated into one or more of the four sides of the housing 6. Further, the display may be incorporated in the bottom surface of the housing 6 so that the viewer can view the display from below. Of course, it may be used together with the display 9. In the case of a plurality of displays, the same contents may be displayed on each display screen, or different contents may be displayed. In the case of the same contents, there is an advantage that a display screen at a position suitable for a viewer can be selected and the same information can be transmitted to a plurality of viewers simultaneously. Further, in the case of different contents, different information required by each viewer can be transmitted to a plurality of viewers, which is convenient.

  In the following description, the side of the display 9 facing the display screen 9D will be referred to as the front of the flying object 1.

  In this example, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a camera CM1 and a microphone MC are provided on the front of the housing 6. A speaker SP is also provided on the front of the housing 6. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, cameras CM2 and CM3 are provided on the left and right sides of the housing, respectively, and a camera CM4 is provided on the back of the housing 6. Further, a camera CM5 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 6, as shown in FIG. Further, a camera CM6 is provided at the center of the upper part of the frame of the display screen 9D of the display 9.

  The optical axes (corresponding to the photographing directions) of the cameras CM1 to CM6 are orthogonal to the respective mounting surfaces of the cameras CM1 to CM6, and a predetermined angle of view range can be photographed around each of the optical axes.

  A drive control unit 10 is provided in the housing 6. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the drive control unit 10 in the flying object 1 of this embodiment. In FIG. 2, the battery is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the drive control unit 10 in this embodiment is provided with a control unit 101 including a microcomputer (not shown as a microcomputer in FIG. 2), an aerial flight drive unit 102, a gyro sensor 103, geomagnetic sensor 104, altitude sensor 105, obstacle sensor 106, moving space information memory 107, current position detection unit 108, flight drive signal generation unit 109, position and orientation control signal generation unit 110, camera group 111, transmission target person information Memory 112, transmission information input reception unit 113, transmission display information memory 114, image recognition unit 115, voice interface unit 116, voice recognition unit 117, alert sound generation unit 118, message message memory 119, display control unit 120, operation unit 121 are connected to each other.

  The audio interface unit 116 is connected to a microphone MC and a speaker SP. The display 9 is connected to the display control unit 120.

  The aerial flight drive unit 102 supplies a drive control signal to each of the motor drive units 51A, 51B, 51C, and 51D of the rotary wing mechanisms 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D of the aerial flight mechanism unit 2 under the control of the control unit 101. I do.

  The gyro sensor 103 detects a change in the acceleration of the flying object 1 during flight, and is used to detect the flight direction, speed, and attitude of the flying object 1. The geomagnetic sensor 104 is used to detect in which direction the flying object 1 is flying. The altitude sensor 105 is for detecting the altitude at which the flying object 1 is located at the time, and includes, for example, a barometric pressure sensor.

  The obstacle sensor 106 emits light, infrared rays, or ultrasonic waves, and detects reflected waves from the obstacles, thereby detecting the presence of the obstacle and emitting light, infrared rays, or ultrasonic waves. , The time until the reflected wave is received and the amount of attenuation are detected, and the distance to the detected obstacle can be calculated from the time and the amount of attenuation. In this embodiment, the obstacle sensor 106 detects an obstacle in a space in which the flying object 1 is used (hereinafter referred to as a moving space), for example, an obstacle such as an indoor wall, a closet, a bed, and a desk, and an outdoor moving space. It is used to detect obstacles such as telephone poles, buildings, trees, etc., and fly to avoid collisions with them.

  The moving space information memory 107 stores space information relating to a moving space inside or outside the room where the flying object 1 is used. The outdoor moving space covers a limited range of space such as a theme park, an amusement park, a zoo, a concert hall, a soccer stadium, and a baseball field. Of course, the space information is not limited to the limited range of space, and the space information is stored as the moving space in the moving space information memory 107 as long as it is within the flight range of the flying object 1, such as around the home, around the office, around the station, around the airport, and the like. It is memorized.

  An application program for panoramic photography (for example, Photosynth) is stored in the memory of the control unit 101 of the flying object 1 according to this embodiment, and the flying object 1 flies in the moving space in advance and the camera CM1. By using all or a part of CM6 to CM6, an image is taken in a range of 360 degrees at each place in the moving space. Then, the control unit 101 generates 3D image information at each point in the moving space from the photographed image information using the panoramic photograph application program, and transmits the generated 3D image information to the moving space information. It is stored in the memory 107.

  In this case, in this example, the flying object 1 determines a specific location in the moving space in which it is used as a home position, and takes off and land with that location as a base. The specific location may be defined as a charging station that is a normal standby location. Note that the home position is not a specific place but may be a specific person. For example, a communicator of information can be set as a home position, and a take-off and landing is performed using a position near the person as a base. In this case, when the communicator is determined as the home position, the face image of the communicator is photographed by the camera CM6 and registered together with the position information. When the communicator moves, the communicator returns to the position where the communicator was originally located, and then tracks the communicator by face image recognition. The destination of the communicator is a new home position, and a position near the new home position is the base.

  The information stored in the moving space information memory 107 also stores the position information of the determined home position. Further, when the moving space is a room, information on the length, width, and height of the room to be used is stored in advance in the moving space information memory 107. Furthermore, when the moving space is indoors, structural information of the room to be used, such as beams, pipe spaces, and columns, may be stored in advance, or when the moving space is outdoors, telephone poles, buildings, The position of the tree may be stored in advance.

  The current position detection unit 108 includes, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, and detects the latitude, longitude, and altitude of the current position of the flying object 1. In order to obtain more accurate position information, the current position may be detected using a radio wave from a mobile phone base station or a radio wave from a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity (registered trademark)) communication access point. . Further, using all or a part of the cameras CM1 to CM6, the periphery of the flying object 1 is photographed, and the photographed image information and the 3D image information stored in the moving space information memory 107 are compared to perform image recognition. Thus, the relative position in the 3D image space may be grasped, and the current position may be detected. In order to detect the current position after the movement, the current position detection unit 108 also uses the gyro sensor 103, the geomagnetic sensor 104, and the altitude sensor 105.

  When the flight drive signal generation unit 109 starts flying from the base (home position) and moves in the air according to a command based on the start-up information from the control unit 101, the position information of the base stored in the moving space information memory 107 is used. From the position information of the current position detected by the current position detection unit 108, the moving direction and the moving distance are calculated in order to generate a flight drive signal for moving.

  Then, the flight drive signal generation unit 109 uses the information of the gyro sensor 103, the geomagnetic sensor 104, the altitude sensor 105, and the like based on the calculated direction and distance, and further, captures the captured images from the cameras CM1 to CM6 of the camera group 111. , A flight drive signal for moving from the base position to the position instructed by the control unit 101 is generated, and supplied to the air flight mechanism unit 2 through the air flight drive unit 102. In this case, the flight drive signal is composed of a signal for driving each of the motor drive units 51A to 51D of the four rotary wing mechanisms 5A to 5D. The generated flight drive signal is supplied to each of the motor drive units 51A to 51D of the aerial flight mechanism unit 2 through the aerial flight drive unit 102.

  In response to the flight drive signal, the aerial flight mechanism unit 2 rotationally drives each of the rotors 52A to 52D, and aerial flight from the base to the position specified by the control unit 101 or from the current position to the base. Move by.

  The position and orientation control signal generation unit 110 determines the direction and position of the display screen 9D with respect to the viewer based on the gyro sensor 103, the geomagnetic sensor 104, the altitude sensor 105, and the images captured by the cameras CM1 to CM6, as described later. The position and orientation (whether the display screen 9D faces the viewer, whether the display screen 9D is slightly away from front to back, right and left, and the position in the vertical direction (height position) are appropriate so that the orientation and position are appropriate. ) Is generated.

  When the flying object 1 detects a transmission target, which will be described later, the flight drive signal generation unit 109, under the control of the control unit 101, specifies a specific physical part of the transmission target, in this example, the face (or eye) of the transmission target. A flight drive signal for hovering is generated at a height position based on the position of (3) at a predetermined distance from the transmission target person, and supplied to the air flight mechanism unit 2 through the air flight drive unit 102. I do. The position and orientation control signal generation unit 110 generates a signal for controlling the height position at which hovering is performed. The transmission target person watches the display screen 9D of the hovering flying object 1. If there is a landing space such as a desk near the transmission target, the flying object 1 lands on the display screen 9D toward the transmission target and displays display information to be transmitted on the display screen 9D. You may make it.

  The camera group 111 includes the cameras CM1 to CM6 described above. Each of the cameras CM1 to CM6 outputs captured image information of a moving image to the system bus 100. The captured image information transmitted from each of the cameras CM <b> 1 to CM <b> 6 to the system bus 100 is added with identification information for identifying which camera is the captured image information. Note that the captured image information from each of the cameras CM1 to CM6 may be captured image information of a still image at predetermined time intervals, for example, 0.5 second intervals, instead of the captured image information of a moving image.

  In the transmission target information memory 112, a candidate who is a candidate for transmitting the transmission information (display information) is registered and stored in advance as a candidate for the transmission target, and the attribute information thereof is stored. That is, in this embodiment, the transmission target person information is attribute information on the transmission target person.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the transmission target person information in a case where the moving space of the flying object 1 is in the building of the company and the employees of the company are candidates for the transmission target. In the example of FIG. 3, the attribute information of the communication target includes name (name), gender, affiliation (in this example, department name), location information (for example, desk location information in a company), face image information, and age. , Information on hobbies and preferences, etc. are registered as attribute information of each transmission target person. In this example, the position information is the position information in the moving space stored in the moving space memory 107. The attribute information is not limited to this example, but includes nationality, year of joining, type of business (for example, research and development, design, manufacturing, sales, planning, accounting, transportation, secretary, etc.), and the circle (club) , Club, etc.). Also, a nickname or a nickname may be registered in addition to the name.

  It is to be noted that identification information is given to each of the candidates for the transmission target, and a transmitter (transmitter) for transmitting the identification information together with the position information of the current position of the transmission target is possessed. In addition, a function of receiving identification information and position information from the transmitter may be provided so that the current position of each transmission target person can be detected in real time. In this case, instead of registering the position information as the attribute information, the identification information sent from the transmitter of the transmission target is registered in the transmission target information memory 112 instead of the position information. And memorize it.

  The transmission information input receiving unit 113 receives transmission information transmitted as display information. In this example, the transmission information input receiving unit 113 is configured by an interface unit that receives transmission information stored in a USB memory or a card-type memory. However, the transmission information input receiving unit 113 is not limited to this, and may be anything as long as it can receive information displayed on the display screen 9D. Good.

  In this case, the transmission information may be any of an image only, a text message only, and an image and a text message. The transmission information input receiving unit 113 of this embodiment has a function of converting the information of the received text message into display information. It also has a function to generate. The transmission information may be composed of a plurality of pages (a plurality of screens), an image and a text message may be displayed on two screens on the display screen 9D, or may be displayed on another display screen (not shown). You may.

  The display information of the transmission information received by the transmission information input receiving unit 113 is stored in the transmission display information memory 114.

  The image recognizing unit 115 compares the image information captured by the cameras CM1 to CM6 with an image of an obstacle or the like stored in an image memory (not shown) so as to avoid the above-described obstacle to be avoided during flight. It has the function of recognizing The flight drive signal generation unit 109 generates a flight drive signal for avoiding the recognized obstacle and moving in the air.

  In this embodiment, the image recognizing unit 115 converts the face image of the viewer on the display screen 9D captured by the camera CM6 and the face image of the transmission target person stored in the transmission target information memory 112, respectively. By performing the image matching processing with, as described later, a function is also provided for recognizing whether or not the viewer of the display screen 9D is the designated transmission target person.

  The voice interface unit 116 has a function of supplying a voice signal collected by the microphone MC to the voice recognition unit 117 or a message message memory 119. Further, the voice interface unit 116, under the control of the control unit 101, generates a voice for alerting that there is a message to be transmitted to the transmission target person, a voice for inquiring whether there is a message prepared in advance, or the like. It has a function to emit sound from the speaker SP. The microphone MC may be an omnidirectional microphone, but may be a directional microphone to collect only the voice uttered by the transmission target person.

  The alerting sound generation unit 118 is a functional unit that stores and generates a sound for alerting that there is an item to be transmitted to the transmission target person, a sound of an inquiry as to whether or not there is a message, and the like.

  The message message memory 119 is for temporarily storing and sending a message when a message is received from a person to be sent.

  The display control unit 120 generates display information to be displayed on the display screen 9D of the display 9 under the control of the control unit 101, and performs control for displaying the display information on the display screen 9D.

  In this example, the operation unit 121 includes a touch panel superimposed on the display screen 9D of the display 9. In this embodiment, under the control of the control unit 101, a guidance image for inputting the attribute of the transmission target person to whom the transmission information is transmitted is displayed on the display screen 9D.

In this example, as the flight start activation of the flying object 1, in addition to the instant activation by the start instruction, a time set by the user through the operation unit 121 by the timer function (the control unit 101 has) (a predetermined time or The timer can be started at a predetermined time after the current time.

  In FIG. 2, the processing functions of the flight drive signal generation unit 109, the position and orientation control signal generation unit 110, the transmission information input reception unit 113, the image recognition unit 115, the voice recognition unit 117, and the display control unit 120 are described by the control unit 101. Can be realized as a software processing function.

[Operation Flow of Drive Control Unit 10 of Flying Object 1]
Hereinafter, an example of an operation flow of the drive control unit 10 of the flying object 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. Each step in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 includes a flight drive signal generation unit 109, a position and orientation control signal generation unit 110, a transmission information input reception unit 113, an image recognition unit 115, a voice recognition unit 117, and a display control unit 120. Will be described as a case where the control unit 101 is realized as a software processing function.

  The control unit 101 receives the input of the transmission information through the transmission information input reception unit 113, and stores the input in the transmission display information memory 114 (step S101). At this time, the input of the transmission information includes, as additional information, a designation (a secret designation) as to whether the transmission information is desired to be kept secret (want to be treated as secret information).

  Next, the control unit 101 receives input of an attribute of the transmission target person and designation of a transmission method through the operation unit 121 (step S102). As described above, the specified attributes to be input include any of the name, gender (whether male or female), affiliation, age (20s, 30s, etc.), hobbies, etc. of the communication target person. Or a plurality of inputs. In addition, age and date of birth may be used instead of age. The age and age can be derived from the date of birth, and the age can be derived from the age.

  When the name of the transmission target is set as an attribute, all names of the transmission target to which information is to be transmitted are input or selected from a list. In this case, the transmission information is transmitted only to the specified or selected transmission target person. The designation of gender (male or female) is a designation for transmitting the transmission information only to the transmission target persons of the specified gender. When the department name belonging to the attribute is specified, the transmission information is transmitted only to the employees belonging to the specified department as the transmission target. When the age (20s, 30s, etc.) is specified as the attribute, the transmission information is transmitted only to employees of the specified age as transmission targets. When a hobby or the like is specified as an attribute, the transmission information is transmitted only to employees having the specified hobby or preference as transmission targets. If a plurality of attributes are specified, for example, if the gender is male, the department name to which the department belongs is the first sales department, and the age is three, the transmission information is the thirties belonging to the first sales department. Only male employees will be notified.

  Next, the control unit 101 determines whether or not a flight start instruction has been issued through the operation unit 121 (step S103). If it is determined that the flight start instruction has not been issued, the control unit 101 waits for the flight start instruction. When it is determined in step S103 that the flight start instruction has been issued, the control unit 101 searches for the position of the transmission target person matching the attribute specified in step S102 from the information stored in the transmission target information memory 112 and recognizes the position. (Step S104).

  Then, the control unit 101 causes the flying object 1 to fly to the position of the first transmission target person among the transmission targets matching the designated attribute recognized in step S104 (step S105). Then, when the control unit 101 moves to the position of the transmission target person, the control unit 101 outputs a warning sound (or a warning message) from the speaker SP in order to notify the presence of the transmission information to the person (viewer) at the position. By emitting sound, it is alerted to look at the flying object 1 (step S106). If the transmission target person does not notice the alert sound, the sound may be increased, the display screen 9D may be flickered, or the display screen 9D may be moved in front of the user to be noticed.

  Next, the control unit 101 recognizes the face image of the person (viewer) at the position and recognizes the face image of the transmission target person to be at the position stored in the transmission target information memory 112. It is determined whether or not the transmission target person has been detected based on whether or not they match (step S107). At this time, the control unit 101 causes the flying object 1 to hover with the display screen 9D facing the viewer at the position, and causes the camera CM6 to display the face image of the viewer at the position. Control to shoot.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the transmission target has not been detected, it is determined whether there is a next transmission target (step S108). If there is a next transmission target, the position of the next transmission target is determined. Is recognized from the information stored in the transmission target person information memory 112 (step S109). Then, after step S109, the control unit 101 returns the processing to step S105, and repeats the processing from step S105.

  When it is determined in step S108 that there is no next transmission target person, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the waiting time when there is no transmission target person has timed out (step S111 in FIG. 5). If it is determined that it has not become, it waits on the spot and searches for another viewer at the position (step S112). Then, the control unit 101 determines whether or not another viewer has been detected (step S113). When it is determined that no other viewer has been detected, the process returns to step S111. The processing after S111 is repeated.

  When it is determined in step S113 that another viewer has been detected, the control unit 101 returns the processing to step S106 in FIG. 4 and repeats the processing from step S106.

  Further, when it is determined in step S111 that the time is over, the control section 101 controls the flying object 1 to return to the base, which is the home position (step S114), and ends this processing routine. If it is not possible to return to the home position due to a battery shortage or an unexpected situation, control may be performed to make an emergency landing.

  When it is determined in step S107 in FIG. 4 that a transmission target person matching the specified attribute has been detected, the control unit 101 determines whether the transmission information has been designated as a secret (see FIG. 6). Step S121). If it is determined in step S121 that the transmission information has been designated as confidential, the control unit 101 displays the transmission of the confidential information on the display screen 9D and hovers the flying object 1 with respect to the transmission target. The position is changed according to the movement of the transmission target person (step S122). Note that, at this time, the control unit 101 may control the flying object 1 not to be in the hovering state but to prepare an appropriate landing position for the transmission target person and to land there.

  Then, the control unit 101 determines whether a transmission start permission has been received from the transmission target person (step S123), and when determining that the transmission start permission has not been received, the control unit 101 waits for the transmission start permission. Then, in step S123, when permission to start transmission is received, and in step S121, it is determined that the secret is not specified for the transmission information, the control unit 101 displays the display image to be transmitted on the display screen 9D. It is displayed (step S124). In this case, the display time of the display image to be transmitted on the display screen 9D is set so that the transmission target person can finish reading the contents of the display image. The display time of the display image to be transmitted may be made variable depending on the transmission target person.

  Next, the control unit 101 determines whether or not there is a message from another transmission target person to the transmission target person watching the display screen 9D by referring to information stored in the message message memory 119 ( Step S125).

  When it is determined in step S125 that there is a message, the control unit 101 reads the message from the message message memory 119, displays the message on the display screen 9D, and displays the message of the sender of the message. The name is displayed (step S126). Note that not only the name of the caller but also a face image may be displayed so that the caller can be easily identified.

  After step S126, when it is determined in step S125 that there is no message, the control unit 101 displays an inquiry on whether or not there is a message to another transmission target person on the display screen 9D, Alternatively, this is performed by emitting a sound from the speaker SP (step S131 in FIG. 7). The control unit 101 determines whether there is a message based on the response from the transmission target person to the inquiry (step S132). In this case, the answer from the transmission target may be a gesture meaning negative or affirmation by the transmission target, or may be a voice from the transmission target. Further, a response may be made with a touch sensor or a button attached to the display 9. When the answer is a gesture, the gesture can be determined from the captured image of the communication target captured by the camera CM6. Further, when the answer from the communication target person is a voice, it is possible to determine whether the answer is negative or positive by voice recognition. The other party of the message may be another transmission target person who does not have the attribute specified at the time of the transmission.

  When it is determined in step S132 that there is a message to another transmission target person, the control unit 101 first notifies the transmission target person that the other party (destination) of the message is to be received as voice, and transmits the destination of the message. The voice of the name of the other party is picked up and voice-recognized, and while confirming the storage contents of the transmission target information memory 112, the name of the destination of the message is received and stored in the message memory 119 (step). S133). The destination of the message may be a plurality of persons instead of one person, or may be a designation of all the transmission target persons to which the transmission information displayed on the display screen 9D is transmitted.

  Subsequently, the control unit 101 informs the transmission target that the message is to be received as a voice, collects the message and recognizes the voice, converts the message into text information, and converts the message into text information. The corresponding message is stored in the message memory 119 (step S134). Note that the control unit 101 may display the collected message message and the name of the message partner on the display screen 9D for confirmation.

  After step S134, the control unit 101 refers to the transmission target person information memory 112 to determine whether there is a next transmission target person (step S135), and determines that there is a next transmission target person. In some cases, the position of the next transmission target person is recognized (step S136), the process returns to step S105 in FIG. 4, and the processes after step S105 are repeated. When it is determined in step S135 that there is no next person to be transmitted, control unit 101 shifts the processing to step S111 in FIG. 5, and repeats the processing from step S111.

[Example of Usage of Flying Object 1 of First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, an example of a use mode of the flying object 1 of the first embodiment is shown in FIG. The example of FIG. 8 shows a case where the transmission information relating to “Guide to Women's Association” is transmitted only to the females among the transmission target persons registered in the transmission target information memory 112. That is, the case where the designated attribute is “female” of gender.

  In this example, the flying object 1 stores, in the moving space information memory 107, the desks 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 12E, 12E, Information on the arrangement of 12F, 1G, and 12H is held. Then, the flying object 1 extracts a transmission target having the attribute “female” from the transmission target information memory 112, and, based on the extracted position information of the transmission target, the female transmission target that matches the designated attribute. The position where the person is is identified by referring to the information in the moving space information memory 107.

  Then, the flying object 1 recognizes the transmission target person at the recognized position as the transmission target person conforming to the designated attribute. In this example, the flying object 1 determines the positions of the desks 12B, 12D, 12F, 12G, and 12H as information. Recognize as the transmission position. Then, as shown by the curved arrow 13 in FIG. 8, the flying object 1 sequentially moves in the air at the positions of the desks 12B, 12D, 12F, 12G, and 12H as information transmission positions. Then, for each transmission target person at the information transmission position, the flying object 1 lands in a hovering state, or lands if there is a landing space, and displays the information of the women's association guidance on the display screen 9D. So, let's communicate.

  Then, in this case, as shown in FIG. 9, when the flying object 1 receives a message from a certain transmission target person, the flying object 1 displays the message message to the transmission target person to whom the message was addressed. To communicate.

  As described above, according to the flying object of the first embodiment, the predetermined information can be sequentially transmitted to all the transmission target persons having the designated attributes. In this embodiment, the transmission target only needs to wait for the flying object 1 to fly, and it is not necessary to send information to other transmission targets, which is very convenient.

  Further, according to the flying object of the first embodiment, the information communicator can input information to be transmitted and specify the attribute of the transmission target only to transmit the information to the desired transmission target. It becomes possible.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the transmission target who has received the information transmits the message to be transmitted to the other specific transmission target or all the transmission target to the flying object 1. There is also an effect that a message can be easily sent to the other specific transmission target person or all the transmission target persons. Further, the message message can transmit the same message message to each transmission target person, or can transmit a different message message to each transmission target person. Further, even if the contents of the message are the same text, the name (address) of the message recipient is obtained from the transmission target information memory 112 by obtaining the name of each transmission target, and By changing it, you can create and send a message.

  In the above description, the transmission order to the transmission target person is based on the movement route of the flying object, but may be in any order. Further, the order may be specified in advance, such as the order of age, the order of name, or the order of higher rank.

[Modification of First Embodiment]
In the above-described first embodiment, when the transmission information is transmitted to the transmission target, there is no means for notifying the transmission destination of the transmission information. However, the transmission destination is notified in real time as follows. You may. That is, for example, the flying object has, for example, a communication function and a mail transmission function. Then, the mail address of the communicator is registered in the flying object when the transmission information is input. After transmitting the transmission information to the transmission target person, the flying vehicle acquires the name of the transmission target person who has completed the transmission of the transmission information from the transmission target information memory 112, and the acquired name and the "transmission of the transmission information". Create an e-mail containing the word "Complete" and send it to the e-mail address of the registered communicator. After transmitting the transmission information to the transmission target person, the flying object may take an image such as a face image of the transmission target person with the camera CM6, and attach the photographed image to the mail. At this time, the communication target may be asked to make a gesture such as an OK or NG sign, the gesture may be photographed, and the photographed gesture may be attached to the mail.

  In the above-described first embodiment, the transmission target is specified by the face image. However, the transmission target is specified by the appearance (external shape, silhouette, physical characteristics) in addition to recognition by the face image. May be used for image recognition. In this case, if there is prior registration of the transmission target person on the day, the transmission target person can be specified by image recognition of clothes. In many cases, companies, factories, offices, and the like are required to wear an employee ID card or ID card, and a general party may wear a name tag. By recognizing these employee ID cards, ID cards, and name tags as images, it is also possible to specify a transmission target person. Furthermore, not limited to image recognition, by registering the voice of the transmission target person, the transmission target person may be specified by speaker recognition by voice recognition.

  When transmitting confidential information, it is necessary to strictly prohibit viewing of the display screen except for those who can receive the confidential information. When a person who is not qualified to receive the confidential information is found by the camera CM 6, the display screen is darkened, a mosaic is applied, or the display is turned off. If the display screen is strictly forbidden to copy, if you try to shoot with a digital camera, smartphone, or other mobile device, the display screen will be darkened, mosaiced, the display turned off, etc. , Or move high in the air, so that it is impossible to take a camera on a display screen for which copying is strictly prohibited.

  In the first embodiment, a birthday (birth date) is registered as an attribute of each transmission target person in the transmission target information. Alternatively, a message of “happy birthday” may be transmitted on the display screen, or a birthday song may be played from a speaker. At a restaurant such as a restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop, or the like, by registering the customer's birthday in the transmission target information, it is possible to provide the customer with a timely presentation. In a theme park or an amusement park, a customer registers information for recognition such as a face image and a birthday as his / her attribute information when entering, so that a plurality of (for example, 100) flying objects in the park can be registered. All of them can celebrate a birthday when they acquire the attribute information and find the customer by the recognition information.

  Alternatively, a birth date or a constellation may be set in the transmission target information as an attribute of each transmission target, and "today's fortune-telling" may be transmitted to each transmission target. Fortune-telling using birthdays (dates of birth) is as diverse as four-pronged mortgage, nine-star kiki, western astrology, horoscope, arithmetic, and six-star astrology. Also, since there is a hobby and preference of the communication target person, which fortune-telling is to be selected is also set as an attribute. For example, if you set “four pillars”, it will be December from January to December, and if you set “horoscope”, it will be 12 constellations from the white sheep shrine (Aries) to the shrine (Pisces). In addition, the transmission target person can see “Today's fortune-telling” classified into 12 types of patterns on the display screen of the flying object. It is very convenient to know today's fortune, lucky color and lucky number.

  When the detected transmission target person is moving, the flying object may follow the movement. However, do not follow a specific place such as a toilet. In addition, the place which should not be followed is set in advance in the flying object as a no-fly area.

[Second embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, it is assumed that information is transmitted so as to be circulated. However, the use of the flying object 1 of the present invention is not limited to such a case. For example, the present invention can also be used for a purpose of presenting, to a customer who has visited a theme park or a store, communication information such as recommended information according to the attribute of the customer on a display screen.

  The mechanical configuration of the flying object 1A of the second embodiment is similar to that of the flying object 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. However, the drive control unit of the flying object 1A according to the second embodiment is different from the drive control unit 10 in FIG. That is, in the flying object 1A of the second embodiment, since a specific person is not set as a transmission target, the transmission target information memory 112 in the drive control unit 10 is unnecessary.

  Then, the image recognition unit (corresponding to the image recognition unit 115) in the drive control unit of the flying object 1A according to the second embodiment does not recognize a face image of a specific person. , A man, a child, an old man, and the like. In addition, a function for determining the attribute of a group such as a couple, a family, and friends may be provided in addition to the determination of the attribute of an individual.

  Then, in the transmission display information memory 114, a plurality of display information is prepared corresponding to each of the attributes recognized by the image recognition unit. The display information is information on a recommended product, an event, or the like according to the attribute of the customer who is the recognition target person. That is, display information for male customers, display information for female customers, display information for children customers, display information for elderly customers, and display information for customers such as couples, families, and friends. Is stored in the transmission display information memory 114 and prepared.

  In the second embodiment, when a customer comes to the store, he flies and moves to the side of the customer, shoots the customer with a camera, recognizes the captured image, determines the attribute of the customer, and determines the determination result. Is displayed from the transmission display information memory 114 and displayed on the display screen 9D. Thereby, the flying object 1A can present display information such as recommendation information according to the attribute to, for example, a customer who came to the store.

  It should be noted that the attributes of the customer determined from the captured image are not limited to the attributes inherent to a person such as the gender of the customer as described above. For example, the clothes and decorations worn by the customer are recognized from the captured image, and if the customer is a so-called branded product, the customer is determined to have an attribute of liking the brand, and the customer is responded. As the display information, information recommended for a brand product may be displayed.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the movement of the flying object 1A according to the second embodiment, which presents display information according to the attribute information to a customer at a store. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing operation executed by the control unit of the drive control unit of the flying object 1A according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the flying object 1A according to the second embodiment monitors a customer 22 coming from the store entrance 21 at a predetermined home position HP (step S201 in FIG. 11). Then, when detecting the customer 22 coming to the store from the entrance 21 of the store, the flying object 1A flies in the air to the customer 22 who came to the store, as shown in FIG. 10 (step S202).

  Then, the control unit of the flying object 1A captures an image of the customer 22 with the camera CM6 and determines the attribute of the customer 22 (Step S203). Then, the control unit of the flying object 1A reads an image corresponding to the determined attribute of the customer 22 from the transmission display information memory and displays the image on the display screen 9D (step S204).

  Next, the control unit of the flying object 1A determines whether or not the customer's gesture permission or the voice's leaving permission has been received from the image captured by the camera CM6 (step S205). When it is determined that there is no data, the process returns to step S204, and the processes after step S204 are repeated. If it is determined in step S205 that the customer has been permitted to leave, the control unit of the flying object 1A determines whether there is another visitor (step S206), and determines that there is another visitor. If so, the process returns to step S202, flies and moves beside the visiting customer, and the processes from step S202 are repeated.

  When it is determined in step S206 that there is no other visitor, the control unit of the flying object 1A controls to return the flying object 1A to the home position (step S207). Thereafter, the control unit of the flying object 1A returns the processing to step S201, and repeats the processing from step S201.

[Modification of Second Embodiment]
In the above-described second embodiment, examples of the display information such as the advertisement information and the recommendation information have been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, providing “today's lunch” and “daily menu” at restaurants, guidance on sale items and bargains at department stores and supermarkets, guidance on waiting time at windows such as banks, guidance on waiting time at theme park attractions It can be applied to the guidance of works in museums and museums. In addition, a QR code (registered trademark) is displayed to allow the customer to access various information from a mobile terminal, a coupon or a discount coupon is displayed, or the customer takes a picture of the coupon or a coupon to obtain a coupon or a discount coupon. You may make it usable.

  Furthermore, the flying object, when it is determined that the attribute of the viewer is a child, by displaying only display information for children, for example, display information such as alcoholic beverages, dangerous goods, adult magazines, etc. Do not show. In a place where copying is prohibited, such as an exhibit, the flying object may notify the viewer of the prohibition of photographing.

  In addition, the flying object may be configured to specify the nationality from the face image and the physical characteristics and to have a conversation in the language of the country. Alternatively, the flying object may be configured to recognize the conversation of the communication target person with a language and to speak in that language.

[Third Embodiment]
In the first and second embodiments described above, the display information to be displayed on the display screen and presented to the viewer is stored in the transmission display information memory 114 in advance and prepared. However, the communication function may be provided to the flying object, and the display information may be transmitted from the display information providing device to the flying object and provided to the flying object. In this case, as a method of providing the display information to the flying object, there are two methods, a method of providing the information in a broadcast format, and a method of providing the display information from the display information providing device in response to a request to provide the display information from the flying object. is there.

  FIG. 12A is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of the former method of providing display information to a flying object in a broadcast format. In the drive control unit 10B of the flying object 1B used in this example, the display information broadcast receiving unit 131, the attribute identifying unit 132, and the display 9 are connected to the control unit 101B via the system bus 100. . Although the transmission information input receiving unit 113 and the transmission display information memory 114 are not provided, the system bus 100 is connected to other components of the drive control unit 10 shown in FIG. In addition, the flying object 1B includes a broadcast receiving antenna 133.

  The display information providing device 200B provides display information according to the attributes of the viewer (including a customer or the like) in a broadcast format. The broadcast in this case is a local broadcast with a limited broadcast area, such as in a store or a theme park. The broadcast signal transmitted from the display information providing device 200B is configured such that the broadcast channel is different for each attribute, and display information corresponding to the attribute is broadcast on each broadcast channel. The display information providing device 200B includes a broadcast signal transmission antenna 201.

  The display information broadcast receiving unit 131 receives a broadcast signal from the display information providing device 200B through the antenna 133, and selects a signal of a broadcast channel corresponding to the channel selection information from the control unit 101 from the received broadcast signal (channel selection). ). The attribute recognition unit 132 includes the camera CM6 and the image recognition unit 115 described in the above embodiment. The control unit 101B receives the information on the attribute recognized by the attribute recognition unit 132, generates channel selection information for selecting a broadcast channel corresponding to the attribute, and supplies the information to the display information broadcast reception unit 131.

  As a result, in the flying object 1B, the display information broadcast receiving unit 131 extracts display information corresponding to the viewer's attribute from the broadcast signal, and the control unit 101B transmits the extracted display information to the display screen of the display 9. To be displayed. Therefore, in the flying object 1B of this example, display information according to the attributes of the viewer on the display screen of the flying object 1B is displayed on the display screen of the display 9.

  Next, FIG. 12B is a conceptual diagram for explaining an example of a method of providing from the display information providing device in response to a request for providing display information from the flying object. In the drive control unit 10C of the flying vehicle 1C used in this example, the display information receiving unit 141, the attribute identifying unit 142, the attribute transmitting unit 143, and the display 9 are transmitted to the control unit 101C via the system bus 100. Is connected. Also in this example, the transmission information input receiving unit 113 and the transmission display information memory 114 are not provided, but other components of the drive control unit 10 shown in FIG.

  The display information providing device 200C of this example includes a display information transmitting unit 211 and an attribute receiving unit 212. The flying object 1C and the display information providing device 200C include an antenna 144 and an antenna 213 for wirelessly transmitting and receiving between them.

  In the example of FIG. 12B, when the attribute of the observer is identified by the attribute identifying unit 142, the control unit 101C of the flying object 1C transmits the attribute information of the identification result from the attribute transmitting unit 143 to the antenna. The information is transmitted to the display information providing device 200C through the 144.

  The display information providing device 200C receives the attribute information by the attribute receiving unit 212 and recognizes the attribute. Then, the display information providing device 200C transmits the display information corresponding to the recognized attribute from the display information transmitting unit 211 to the flying object 1C via the antenna 213.

  The control unit 101C of the flying object 1C receives the display information sent from the display information providing device 200C by the display information receiving unit 141, and displays the display information on the display screen of the display 9. Thereby, also in the flying object 1C of this example, display information according to the attribute of the viewer on the display screen of the flying object 1C is displayed on the display screen of the display 9.

  In the description of the above embodiment, the flying object determines the attribute of the viewer on the display screen 9D from the captured image. However, the information of the photographed image of the camera CM6 is sent to the display information providing device, and the operator of the providing device of the display device recognizes the attribute of the viewer from the photographed image and supplies the display information to the flying object. May be configured so as to correspond to the recognized attribute.

[Other Embodiments or Modifications]
In the above-described embodiment, the aerial flight mechanism 2 of the flying object has been described as an example of a helicopter-type mechanism having four rotary wing mechanisms, but the number of rotary wing mechanisms is five even if the number is three or less. The above may be sufficient. Furthermore, it is not limited to a helicopter-type mechanism, but may be an airplane-type mechanism.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of cameras in the camera group 111 is six and the number of microphones is one. However, it is needless to say that the number is not limited. Various positions where a camera and a microphone are provided are also conceivable. The camera may be a standard camera, a wide-angle camera, a fish-eye camera, or a 360-degree camera. Further, a telephoto camera, an infrared camera, or the like may be used. Of course, these cameras may be used together.
