Smart design of intelligent companion toys for preschool children

Abstract

Early childhood education has long-lasting influences on people, and an appropriate companion toy can play an essential role in children's brain development. This paper establishes a complete framework to guide the design of intelligent companion toys for preschool children from 2 to 6 years old, which is child-centered and environment-oriented. The design process is divided into three steps: requirement confirmation, the smart design before the sale, and the iterative update after the sale. This framework considers the characteristics of children and highlights the integration of human and artificial intelligence in design. A case study is provided to prove the superiority of the new framework. In addition to enriching the research on intelligent toy design, this paper also guides for practitioners to design smart toys and helps in children's cognitive development.

An Empirical Study on the Artificial Intelligence-Aided Quantitative Design of Art Images

“…Depending on the model iteration method, the main approaches based on model iteration can be grouped into generative model-based and image-reconfiguration decoder-based approaches. Wang et al were the first to propose an iterative optimization of the generative model for image style migration, and their related work provides a good idea for improving the efficiency of image style migration, which builds on the algorithm [8]. Gündüz et al by using a perceptual loss function is used to train a generative model for a particular style [9].…”

“…At present, children's toys, especially smart toys, have a large market. Smart toys can not only satisfy children's curiosity and strengthen the interaction between children and toys but also stimulate children's curiosity [2]. Smart toys integrate advanced technologies in the fields of computers, electronics, and communications, breaking through the limitations of traditional toys, giving the toy the functions of "listening" and "speaking," interacting with people, and combining knowledge with pleasure, can enable children to learn and experience life in pleasure, and truly achieve the purpose of entertaining and teaching [3].…”
