초록

인구의 고령화로 인해 노인 인구가 늘어나고, 핵가족화가 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 현재 AI스피커는 일상적으로 사람과 사람 간에 이루어지는 대화보다는 사용자의 명령어에 반응하는 형태이다. 독거노인이 먼저 얘기를 하지 않으면 AI스피커의 사용성은 떨어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 고령자 맞춤 능동적 상호작용의 AI스피커 개발내용에 대해 기술한다. 본 스피커는 독거노인의 움직임과 주변 상황을 파악하여 능동적으로 말을 걸어줄 수 있으며, 대화의 내용에 맞는 감정표현을 디스플레이 시킬 수 있다. 이를 통해 사용자는 AI스피커를 의인화하게 되어 친근감을 느낄 수 있고 감성 대화가 가능해짐에 따라 외로움을 달랠 수 있는 긍정적인 역할을 할 것으로 기대한다.

Due to the aging of the population, the number of the elderly is increasing, and the nuclear family is rapidly progressing. Today's AI speakers respond to user's commands rather than conversations that occur on a daily basis. If the elderly living alone do not talk first, the usability of the AI speaker will decrease. In this paper, it describes the development of AI speakers for active interaction tailored to the aged. This speaker can identify the movements of the elderly who live alone and their surroundings, actively speak to them, and display emotional expressions appropriate to the content of the conversation. Through this, users will be able to anthropomorphize AI speakers, so they can feel familiarity and emotional conversation is expected to play a positive role in easing their loneliness.
