System and method for analyzing baby cries
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing baby cries, comprising:
- audio analysis means for receiving an audio signal of a baby, performing waveform analysis to said audio signal and computing a characteristic quantity based on a result from said waveform analysis of said audio signal;
cause-of-cry assumption means for assuming a cause of cry of said baby based on said characteristic quantity computed at said audio-analysis means; and
display means for displaying said cause of cry assumed by said cause-of-cry assumption means.

Abstract
This invention provides a system for analyzing baby cries capable of diagnosing a cause of cry of a baby based on a cry from the baby. A microphone (1) picks up a cry from a baby as an audio signal. At a certain sampling frequency, an A/D converter (2) samples the audio signal received by the microphone (1) to A/D convert it. An audio analyzer (3) analyzes the audio signal sampled by the A/D converter (2) and computes a characteristic quantity based on a frequency spectrum. A cause-of-cry assumption unit (4) assumes a cause of cry based on the characteristic quantity of the audio signal derived at the audio analyzer (3). Finally, an assumed result display (5) displays the assumed result from the cause-of-cry assumption unit (4).
