[0009] <Embodiment> An embodiment of the diary generating system NSS according to the present disclosure will be described below.

[0010] Configuration of the embodiment Configuration of the diary generation system NSS FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a diary generating system NSS according to an embodiment.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 1, the diary generating system NSS of the embodiment includes owner devices OS1 to OSm (m is an integer equal to or greater than 1), pet devices PS1 to PSn (n is an integer equal to or greater than 1), and a server SV to generate a diary NK for a pet PE1 using basic information KJ of the owner OW1 and biological information SJ of the pet PE1. The owner devices OS1 to OSm, pet devices PS1 to PSn, and server SV are connected to each other via a network NW (e.g., the Internet) as shown in Fig. 1. Here, it is desirable that confidentiality is ensured in communications between the owner devices OS1 to OSm, pet devices PS1 to PSn, and server SV, for example, by using encryption.

[0012] The owner devices OS1 to OSm are used by owners OW1 to OWm who are the owners of the pets PE1 to PEn (pet owners).

[0013] The pet devices PS1 to PSn are installed, for example, in a space where the pets PE1 to PEn live (for example, a living room in a house), or attached to the bodies (for example, the necks and legs) of the pets PE1 to PEn.

[0014] In the following, for ease of explanation and understanding, a plurality of identical devices may be collectively referred to by one name, for example, the owner devices OS1 to OSm may be collectively referred to as the owner device OS.

[0015] <Owner's device OS configuration> FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the owner device OS of the embodiment.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the owner device OS of the embodiment includes an input / output unit NY (OS), a processing unit SY (OS), a storage unit KI (OS), and a communication unit TU (OS).

[0017] The input / output unit NY (OS) is used by the owner OW to input basic information KJ (e.g., the first person name of the pet PE used in the diary NK, the personality of the pet PE, the desired date for creating the diary NK) and is also used to output the diary NK to the owner OW. The input / output unit NY (OS) is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, an LCD monitor, a printer, and a speaker.

[0018] The processing unit SY (OS) performs processes related to, for example, the input of the basic information KJ and the output of the diary NK.

[0019] The storage unit KI (OS) stores, for example, data necessary for processing by the processing unit SY (OS).

[0020] The communication unit TU (OS) performs communication via the network NW, for example, transmitting the above-mentioned basic information KJ to the server SV, and receiving the above-mentioned diary NK from the server SV.

[0021] <Configuration of pet device PS> FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the pet device PS of the embodiment.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the pet device PS of the embodiment includes an acquisition unit SH(PS), a processing unit SY(PS), a storage unit KI(PS), and a communication unit TU(PS).

[0023] The acquisition unit SH (PS) acquires biological information SJ (e.g., weight, heart rate, and activity level) from the pet PE. The acquisition unit SH (PS) is composed of, for example, a weight scale and various sensors for acquiring the weight, heart rate, and activity level described above.

[0024] The processing unit SY (PS) performs, for example, processes related to obtaining the above-mentioned biometric information SJ.

[0025] The storage unit KI(PS) stores, for example, data required for acquisition by the acquisition unit SH(PS) and processing by the processing unit SY(PS).

[0026] The communication unit TU (PS) performs communication via the network NW, and transmits, for example, the above-mentioned biometric information SJ to the server SV.

[0027] <Server SV Configuration> FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the server SV according to the embodiment.

[0028] The server SV of the embodiment includes a storage unit KI(SV), a processing unit SY(SV), and a communication unit TU(SV), as shown in Fig. 4. Here, the server SV may be, for example, a general-purpose type or a specific-purpose type, and may be a cloud type or an on-premise type.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 4, the storage unit KI (SV) stores an owner information table OJT, a pet information table PJT, a basic information table KJT, a biological information table SJT, and a diary table NKT.

[0030] FIG. 5 shows an owner information table OJT according to the embodiment.

[0031] FIG. 6 shows the pet information table PJT of the embodiment.

[0032] FIG. 7 shows a basic information table KJT according to the embodiment.

[0033] FIG. 8 shows the biometric information table SJT of the embodiment.

[0034] FIG. 9 shows the diary table NKT of the embodiment.

[0035] 5, the owner information table OJT of the embodiment is configured with, for example, an owner name, an owner ID, a password, contact information, etc. for each owner OW, for example, owner OW1, owner OW2, owner OW3, etc. Among these, the owner ID and password are used to authenticate the owner OW when the owner OW logs in to communicate with the server SV using the owner device OS.

[0036] 6, the pet information table PJT of the embodiment is composed of, for example, a pet name, a pet ID, an owner ID, and a type of pet (e.g., dog, cat, bird) for each pet PE, for example, pet PE1, pet PE2, pet PE3, .... Of these, the pet ID and the owner ID are used to link and register the pet PE with the owner OW who is the owner of the pet PE in advance. This makes it possible to prevent, for example, the owner OW1 from obtaining the diary NK of a pet (e.g., pet PE2) that the owner OW1 does not own.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 7, the basic information table KJT of the embodiment is composed of, for each piece of basic information KJ, for example, basic information KJa, basic information KJb, basic information KJc, etc. received from the owner device OS, and is composed of, for example, an owner ID, a pet ID, the pet's first person name, the pet's personality, and the date the diary was created.

[0038] For example, when the combination of owner OW1, which is the owner ID contained in the basic information KJa received from the owner device OS1, and pet PE2, which is the pet ID contained in the biometric information SJb received from the pet device PS2, i.e., the "combination of owner OW1 and pet PE2," differs from a combination, such as the "combination of owner OW1 and pet PE1," that is linked and registered in advance in the pet information table PJT, then, as described above, owner OW1 will not be able to obtain pet PE2's diary NK.

[0039] 8, the biometric information table SJT of the embodiment is configured with, for example, a pet ID, acquisition date and time, weight, heart rate, and activity level for each piece of biometric information SJ, for example, biometric information SJa, biometric information SJb, biometric information SJc, etc., received from the pet device PS. Of these, the pet ID is used, as described above, for example, to prevent an owner OW1 who is not the owner of the pet PE2 from obtaining the diary NK of the pet PE2.

[0040] As shown in Figure 9, the diary table NKT in the embodiment is composed of, for each diary NK (details will be described later) generated by the generation AI processing unit SA(SV) of the processing unit SY(SV), for example, diary NKa, diary NKb, diary NKc, ..., for example, basic information ID, biometric information ID, generation date and time, and diary content.

[0041] For example, when a diary NKa of pet PE1 is generated based on the basic information KJa of owner OW1 received from the owner device OS1 and the biometric information SJa of pet PE1 received from the pet device PS1, the basic information KJa of owner OW1 is recorded in the diary NKa of pet PE1 as the basic information ID, and the biometric information SJa of pet PE1 is recorded as the biometric information ID.

[0042] Returning to FIG. 4, the explanation will be continued.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4, the processing unit SY(SV) further includes a prompt generation unit PR(SV) and a generation AI processing unit SA(SV).

[0044] The prompt generation unit PR(SV) basically generates a prompt PR used by the generation AI processing unit SA(SV) to generate a diary NK based on the basic information KJ of the owner OW received from the owner device OS and the biological information SJ of the pet PE received from the pet device PS. The prompt generation unit PR(SV) generates a prompt PR (e.g., an instruction to generate the diary NK of the pet PE1) used to generate the diary NK of the pet PE1 based on, for example, the basic information KJa of the owner OW1 received from the owner device OS1 and the biological information SJa of the pet PE1 received from the pet device PS1.

[0045] Instead of the above, the prompt generation unit PR (SV) generates a prompt PR, as necessary, based on the above basic information KJ and biometric information SJ, by referring to the owner information table OJT to diary table NKT stored in the memory unit KI (SV).

[0046] The generation AI processing unit SA(SV) generates a diary NK for the pet PE in accordance with the prompt PR generated by the prompt generation unit PR(SV).

[0047] The generation AI processing unit SA (SV) generates a diary NK for the pet PE1, for example, in accordance with the prompt PR generated based on the basic information KJa of the owner OW1 and the biometric information SJa of the pet PE1 received from the pet device PS1 as described above.

[0048] Here, the generation AI processing unit SA (SV) has been pre-trained to receive the above-mentioned prompt PR and to output the diary NK of pet PE1 corresponding to the basic information KJa and biometric information SJa in accordance with the prompt PR, and in particular, has been pre-trained to include the emotions and psychology of pet PE1 in the diary NK of pet PE1.

[0049] As part or all of the above learning, for example, it is possible to use a reference table (not shown) indicating the correspondence between the basic information KJa, the biological information SJa, and the diary NK of the pet PE.

[0050] The generation AI processing unit SA(SV) generates the diary NK described above based on natural language processing technology.

[0051] Here, the file format of the diary NK generated by the generation AI processing unit SA (SV) is not important, and may be, for example, a text file format or a file format other than a text file.

[0052] The communication unit TU (SV) communicates via the network NW, for example, receiving basic information KJ from the owner device OS, receiving biological information SJ from the pet device PS, and on the other hand transmitting a diary NK to the owner device OS.

[0053] The prompt generation unit PR (SV) corresponds to the "prompt generation unit", the generation AI processing unit SA (SV) corresponds to the "diary generation unit", and the communication unit TU (SV) and the input / output unit NY (OS) in the owner device OS correspond to the "output unit".

[0054] <Operation of the embodiment> FIG. 10 shows the operation of the health consultation system KSS according to the embodiment.

[0055] FIG. 11 shows a diary NK according to the embodiment.

[0056] The operation of the diary generating system NSS of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0057] In the following, for ease of explanation and understanding, it is assumed that an owner OW1 wishes to obtain a diary NK of a pet PE1, of which the owner OW1 is the owner.

[0058] Step ST11: The owner OW1 uses the owner device OS1 to log in according to a predetermined procedure, and inputs the basic information KJ of the owner OW1 into, for example, a displayed form or dialog box.

[0059] Step ST12: The owner device OS1 transmits the basic information KJ of the owner OW1, which has been input by the owner OW1, to the server SV.

[0060] Step ST13: The pet device PS1 acquires the biological information SJ from the pet PE1.

[0061] Step ST14: The pet device PS1 transmits the biological information SJ of the pet PE1 to the server SV.

[0062] Step ST15: In the server SV, the communication unit TU(SV) receives the basic information KJ of the owner OW1 from the owner device OS1, and also receives the biological information SJ of the pet PE1 from the pet device PS1.

[0063] In the server SV, the prompt generation unit PR (SV) generates a prompt PR using the received basic information KJ of the owner OW1 and the biological information SJ of the pet PE1. Here, from the viewpoint of information security, the prompt generation unit PR (SV) refers to the owner information table OJT to diary table NKT stored in the storage unit KI (SV) based on the basic information KJ of the owner OW1 and the biological information SJ of the pet PE1 as necessary, or registers (provisionally or officially) the basic information KJ of the owner OW1 and the biological information SJ of the pet PE1 in the owner information table OJT to diary table NKT.

[0064] Step ST16: In the server SV, the generation AI processing unit SA (SV) generates a diary NK of the pet PE1 based on the prompt PR. Here, the generation AI processing unit SA (SV) registers the generated diary NK of the pet PE1 (shown in FIG. 11) in the diary table NKT as necessary.

[0065] Step ST17: In the server SV, the communication unit TU(SV) transmits the created diary NK of the pet PE1 to the owner device OS1.

[0066] Step ST18: In the owner device OS1, the communication unit TU (OS) receives the diary NK of the pet PE1. In the owner device OS1, the input / output unit NY (OS) displays the received diary NK of the pet PE1 toward the owner OW.

[0067] Effects of the embodiment As described above, the diary generation system NSS of the embodiment provides the owner OW1 with the diary NK of the pet PE1, in which the activities and feelings of the pet PE1 are documented. This allows the owner OW1 to understand the physical and mental states of the pet PE1, and in particular, to deepen communication with the pet PE1 by understanding the mental state of the pet PE1. Furthermore, if necessary, the owner OW1 can manage the health of the pet PE1 by caring for the pet's physical and mental health.

[0068] <Variation 1> The diary creation system NSS of variant example 1 may, instead of generating a diary NK for a single pet PE1 owned by the owner OW1 for the owner OW1 as described above, generate, for the owner OW1, a diary NK for pet PE1 and a diary NK for pet PE3 for multiple pets PE owned by the owner OW1, such as pets PE1 and PE3.

[0069] <Variation 2> FIG. 12 shows a diary NK according to the second modification.

[0070] The diary generation system NSS of variant example 2, instead of generating a diary NK for the owner OW1 of the pet PE1 owned by the owner OW1 as described above, may also generate a diary NK (shown in FIG. 12) for the pet PE1 of multiple pets PE owned by the owner OW1 for the owner OW1, such as pet PE1 ("Mimi" in FIG. 12) and pet PE3 ("Pochi" in FIG. 12), using the biometric information SJ of the pet PE3.

[0071] <Variation 3> In addition to generating the diary NK of pet PE1 for owner OW1 as described above, the diary generation system NSS of variant example 3 may also receive comments, impressions, etc. about the diary NK of pet PE1 from owner OW1 via the owner device OS1, and add the comments, impressions, etc. of owner OW1 to the diary NK of pet PE1.

[0072] Variation 4 The diary generation system NSS of variant example 4 may accumulate the above-mentioned biometric information SJ of pet PE1 and the diary NK of pet PE1, for example, the biometric information SJ and diary NK of pet PE1 on August 30, 2023, the biometric information SJ and diary NK of pet PE1 on August 31, 2023, the biometric information SJ and diary NK of pet PE1 on September 1, 2023, etc., to predict the future activities and psychology of pet PE1 (for example, after mid-September 2023).

[0073] <Variation 5> The diary generation system NSS of variant example 5 may present the mood of pet PE1 (e.g., "I'm full, my body is a little tired, and I'm feeling very sleepy") to the owner OW1 by analyzing the contents of the diary NK of the above-mentioned pet PE1 (shown in Figure 11) (e.g., "After eating, I played a little, and took a nap during the day.").

[0074] Variation 6 The diary generating system NSS of the sixth modification may generate the diary NK of the pet PE1 described above periodically (for example, every day, every three days, or every five days). On the other hand, the diary generating system NSS of the sixth modification may generate the diary NK of the pet PE1 interruptively as an exception to the above-mentioned periodic generation when any significant change occurs in the biological information SJ of the pet PE1.

[0075] <Variation 7> The diary generation system NSS of variant example 7, in addition to acquiring the biometric information SJ of pet PE1 from the pet device PS1 of pet PE1, may also cooperate with smart home devices (e.g., air conditioners, televisions) to reflect the pet's living environment (temperature, humidity, programs watched, etc.) in the diary NK of pet PE1.

[0076] Hardware and software-based configurations of the embodiment FIG. 13 shows the hardware configuration of the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV.

[0077] In order to perform the above-mentioned functions, the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV of the embodiment include a processing circuit SYO as shown in FIG. 13, and further include an input circuit NYU and an output circuit SYU as necessary.

[0078] The processing circuit SYO is a dedicated hardware. The processing circuit SYO realizes each function of the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV (for example, each function of the processing unit SY(OS), the processing unit SY(PS), and the processing unit SY(SV)).

[0079] The processing circuit SYO is, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a combination of these.

[0080] The input circuit NYU and the output circuit SYU exchange inputs and outputs related to the operation of the processing circuit SYO with, for example, the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the outside of the server SV.

[0083] The processor PRO is a CPU (also called a Central Processing Unit, central processing unit, processing unit, arithmetic unit, microprocessor, microcomputer, or DSP (Digital Signal Processing)) that executes programs. The processor PRO realizes each function of the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV (for example, each function of the processing unit SY(OS), processing unit SY(PS), and processing unit SY(SV)).

[0084] The processor PRO realizes the above-mentioned functions by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software and firmware are written as programs and stored in the memory circuit KIO.

[0085] The processor PRO realizes the above-mentioned functions by reading and executing the above-mentioned programs from the memory circuit KIO. The above-mentioned programs can also be said to cause a computer to execute the procedures and methods of the functions of the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV.

[0086] Here, the memory circuit KIO is, for example, a non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), etc., as well as a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), etc.

[0087] Of the functions of the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV, some of the functions may be realized by a processing circuit SYO (shown in FIG. 13), while other functions may be realized by a processor PRO (shown in FIG. 14).

[0088] As described above, the functions of the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the server SV can be realized by hardware, software, firmware, or a combination of these.

[0089] The input circuit NYU and the output circuit SYU exchange inputs and outputs related to the operation of the processor PRO with, for example, the owner device OS, the pet device PS, and the outside of the server SV.
