Japanese gadget for translating baby cries

"The translator of a baby's cry for first-time mothers has launched. This equipment analyzes and displays the kind of a cry a baby makes, and shows five different feelings, which include a hungry feeling, sleepiness, stress, and inconvenient, and the degree of correctness exceeds 90%"

I'm gonna take "inconvenient" to mean "poopy," but perhaps someone who reads Japanese can clarify that for me. Link to article in Japanese, Auto-translated to English, Discuss, (Via Geisha Asobi blog)
