Taipei International Invention Show & Techomart is a trading platform for intellectual properties and new techniques that aims to provide an international stage for Taiwanese inventions. The YunTech team participated in the 2014 Taipei International Invention Show & Techomart and was awarded 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 copper medal. The chair of Asian International Association (AIA) also visited the show and awarded a special award to the invention “Infant Cries Translator,” invented by Distinguished Professor Chang Chuan-yu of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, also the dean of Yuntech’s Office of Research and Development. This inventionwas the one chosen by the Ministry of Science and Technology (R.O.C.) as the paradigm invention. The gadget translates the crying sounds of babies to provide more information to parents wanting to know why their babies are crying. Due to its special and useful function, this novel invention was highly praised by industrial fields and the press from all over the world and was definitely the highlight of this invention show. The gold medal invention, “Amazing Land,” invented by the team led by Associate Professor Chang Teng-wen of the Department of Visual Communication Design and Assistant Professor Hung Chung-wen of the Department of Electrical Engineering, serves as a cure toy for mentally challenged children. While in display, the invention attracted a lot of children to try it out.

 

To create the invention, “Infant Cries Translator,” Distinguished Professor Chang Chuan-yu and his team members collected more than 100,000 crying sounds, from National Taiwan University Hospital (Yunlin Branch). With a large data size, they could better analyze acoustics features and reached an accuracy rate of 92 %. Through this application, parents can understand whether their babies are hungry, sleepy, baby diapers are wet or whether they have stomach aches and so forth. It is believed the invention will be of great help to novice parents.

 

 “Amazing Land” was invented by students Wang Yi-ya, Huang Bo-kai, Lin Kai-chen, Wang Chung-yuan and Lin Rei-yuan under the instructions of Associate Professor Chang Teng-wen and Assistant Professor Hung Chung-wen. Because of its interactive ability, mentally challenged children can gain confidence while playing with the toy. The relationship between parents and children can be strengthened as well. The interdisciplinary cooperation between the two colleges—Design and Engineering enabled the development of an invention that could have both the functions of cure and interactivity. Counseling and suggestions from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation departments of National Taiwan University (Yunlin Branch) and Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital helped the team invent a toy that better meets the psychological needs of mentally challenged children.

 

The silver medal invention, “Self-Defensive Coordinated Maneuvering of Platoon and Vehicle Violation Accident Avoidance System,” was invented by student Yu Bo-han under the instruction of Professor Chang Ben-jye of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering. The invention is applied to multiple lanes for the purpose of classifying levels of threats from other vehicles from all sides and analyzing the danger rate of traffic lanes so as to guide drivers to a safer route.
