Abstract
Currently, Japan is becoming a very aged society, and elderly people suffering from deafness are also increasing. The number of Japanese hearing impaired people is increasing. In this paper, we describe the development of a sound recognition and transmission system for hearing impaired people and elderly people who are hard of hearing loss.
Highlights
According to the report of the Cabinet Office, as of October 2017, the population of Japanese elderly (Over 65 years of age) accounted for 27.7% of Japan’s total population
We describe a system that catches the sound emitted from an object and communicates to hearing impaired with vibration
The software part of the system consists of two kinds of serial communication program and sound recognition
Summary
According to the report of the Cabinet Office, as of October 2017, the population of Japanese elderly (Over 65 years of age) accounted for 27.7% of Japan’s total population In this way, elderly people account for a quarter of the population and lack of caregivers is a problem (1). There are various types of welfare equipment (4) for hearing impaired people and elderly people, but many devices that convert audio information to other information perform event processing for a predetermined action and notify them. As an example, this is equivalent to a product that transmits the sound of an interphone or FAX by flashing a lamp. We propose a system that learns sounds and generates events for every sound
