[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The data linkage system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generation AI to unify vocabulary and facilitate data linkage. This data linkage system collects data from each field and inputs it into the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the collected data and unifies the vocabulary used in each field. For example, if city OS data and DX data are recorded in different formats, the generation AI analyzes the data and converts them into a common vocabulary. Next, data linkage is performed based on the data unified by the generation AI. This allows data from different fields to be easily linked and mutually usable. For example, city OS data and DX data are linked in a unified format, which makes the operation and management of cities more efficient. Furthermore, by understanding the exchange of data linkage on a dashboard, any analysis is possible. For example, the flow of data can be visualized on the dashboard, and it is possible to understand at a glance which data is being used in which field and how. This allows the data usage status to be monitored in real time and adjustments to be made as necessary. This mechanism promotes the unification of data formats, making it easier to link across fields such as DX and city OS. By using the generation AI, it is possible to achieve efficient and effective data linkage beyond the limits of human unification. This enables the data linkage system to efficiently collect, analyze, link, and monitor data.

[0029] The data linkage system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a linkage unit, and a monitoring unit. The collection unit collects data in each field. The data in each field includes, for example, medical data, traffic data, and environmental data, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit collects, for example, city OS data and DX data. The city OS data includes a smart city platform and a city management system. The DX data includes digitalization of business processes and data-driven decision-making. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the collected data and unify the vocabulary. The unification of vocabulary includes, for example, the use of a standardized dictionary and unification of synonyms, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to unify the vocabulary of the collected data. The analysis unit can also convert the collected data into a common vocabulary using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI analyzes the city OS data and the DX data and converts them into a common vocabulary. The linkage unit performs data linkage based on the unified data. Data linkage includes, for example, the use of APIs and the unification of data formats, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the linking unit links data from different fields based on unified data. The monitoring unit visualizes the data flow on a dashboard and performs anomaly detection and performance monitoring. The dashboard includes, for example, the display of real-time data and anomaly detection alerts, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the monitoring unit visualizes the data flow on a dashboard, and at a glance, which data is being used in which field and how. The monitoring unit can also monitor the usage status of data in real time and make adjustments as necessary. As a result, the data linkage system according to the embodiment can efficiently collect, analyze, link, and monitor data.

[0030] The collection unit collects data in each field. The data in each field includes, for example, medical data, traffic data, environmental data, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit collects, for example, city OS data and DX data. The city OS data includes smart city platforms and city management systems. Specifically, the city OS data includes information on urban infrastructure management, traffic control, energy management, provision of public services, etc. These data are collected in real time from sensors and IoT devices and transmitted to a central database. The DX data includes digitalization of business processes and data-driven decision-making, etc. Specifically, the DX data includes information on the efficiency of a company's business processes, management of customer data, marketing analysis, optimization of the supply chain, etc. These data are collected from the company's internal systems and cloud services. The collection unit collects data from these diverse data sources and manages them centrally to facilitate the integration and utilization of data. Furthermore, the collection unit can flexibly respond to specific situations and conditions by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection. For example, the accuracy of traffic congestion prediction can be improved by increasing the frequency of traffic data collection. The collector can also perform data pre-processing and cleaning to ensure data quality, allowing the collector to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving overall system performance.

[0031] The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the collected data and unify the vocabulary. The unification of vocabulary includes, for example, the use of a standardized dictionary and the unification of synonyms, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to unify the vocabulary of the collected data. The LLM has learned a large amount of text data and can understand technical terms and synonyms in different fields and convert them into appropriate vocabulary. For example, it can unify "myocardial infarction" in medical data and "accident" in traffic data as the same "emergency situation". The analysis unit can also convert the collected data into a common vocabulary using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI analyzes city OS data and DX data and converts them into a common vocabulary. This allows data from different fields to be handled in a unified manner, making it easier to link and analyze the data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can perform preprocessing and cleaning of the data to improve the quality of the data. For example, the accuracy of the analysis results can be improved by complementing missing data and detecting and correcting outliers. The analysis unit can also perform statistical analysis of data and construct machine learning models to extract useful knowledge from the data, enabling the analysis unit to analyze collected data quickly and accurately and improve the performance of the entire system.

[0032] The linking unit performs data linking based on the unified data. Data linking includes, for example, the use of APIs and the unification of data formats, but is not limited to such examples.

For example, by linking medical data and traffic data, the efficiency of emergency medical services can be improved. The medical data includes information on the patient's medical history and current health condition, and the traffic data includes information on road congestion and optimal routes. The linking unit integrates these data so that emergency medical services can select the optimal route and quickly reach the patient. In addition, the linking unit unifies data formats to facilitate data exchange between different systems. For example, by using standard data formats such as JSON and XML, data exchange between different systems can be performed smoothly. Furthermore, the linking unit uses APIs to realize data linking between different systems. The API enables data exchange between different systems and improves the scalability of the system. As a result, the linking unit can efficiently link data in different fields and improve the performance of the entire system.

[0033] The monitoring unit visualizes the data flow on a dashboard and performs anomaly detection and performance monitoring. The dashboard includes, for example, but is not limited to, display of real-time data and anomaly detection alerts. Specifically, the monitoring unit visualizes the data flow on a dashboard and grasps at a glance how which data is being used in which field. For example, it is possible to display in real time how medical data is being used in which hospital and how traffic data is being used on which road. The monitoring unit can also monitor the data usage status in real time and make adjustments as necessary. For example, if an abnormality occurs in the data flow, the monitoring unit can immediately issue an alert, identify the cause of the problem, and take appropriate measures. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can monitor the data performance and identify improvements to improve the efficiency of the entire system. For example, the data processing speed and response time are monitored, and bottlenecks are identified and improved. The monitoring unit can also monitor the security of the data and take measures to prevent unauthorized access and data leakage. This allows the monitoring unit to improve the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0034] The collection unit can collect city operating system data or digital transformation data. The city operating system data includes, for example, a smart city platform and a city management system, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit, for example, collects city OS data. The city OS data includes information on the operation and management of a city. The digital transformation data includes, for example, digitalization of business processes and data-driven decision-making, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit, for example, collects DX data. The DX data includes information on a company's business processes and decision-making. This allows the collection unit to efficiently collect city OS and DX data.

[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the collected data and convert it into a common vocabulary. The common vocabulary includes, for example, an industry standard glossary or a specific dictionary, but is not limited to such examples. The analysis unit can analyze, for example, the collected data and convert it into a common vocabulary. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to unify the vocabulary of the collected data. The analysis unit can also use the generation AI to convert the collected data into a common vocabulary. For example, the generation AI analyzes city OS data and DX data and converts them into a common vocabulary. As a result, the analysis unit unifies the vocabulary of the data, making it easier to link the data.

[0036] The linking unit can perform data linking based on unified data. Data linking includes, for example, the use of APIs and unification of data formats, but is not limited to these examples. The linking unit, for example, links data from different fields based on unified data. For example, city OS data and DX data are linked in a unified format, which makes city operation and management more efficient. This allows the linking unit to easily link data from different fields.

[0037] The monitoring unit can visualize the data flow on a dashboard and detect anomalies and monitor performance. The dashboard includes, for example, but is not limited to, display of real-time data and anomaly detection alerts.

The monitoring unit can also monitor the data usage status in real time and make adjustments as necessary. This enables the monitoring unit to visualize the data flow and detect anomalies and monitor performance.

[0038] The monitoring unit can monitor the data usage status in real time and make adjustments as necessary. Examples of real-time monitoring include, but are not limited to, the use of streaming data and the setting of real-time alerts. The monitoring unit can monitor, for example, the data usage status in real time and make adjustments as necessary. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the data usage status in real time and issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. The monitoring unit can also monitor the data usage status in real time and make adjustments if a decrease in performance is detected. This allows the monitoring unit to monitor the data usage status in real time and make appropriate adjustments.

[0062] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0063] Step 1: The collection department collects data from each field. Data from each field includes medical data, traffic data, environmental data, etc. The collection department collects city OS data and DX data. City OS data includes smart city platforms and city management systems, and DX data includes digitalization of business processes and data-driven decision-making. Step 2: The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the collected data and unify the vocabulary. Vocabulary unification includes the use of standardized dictionaries and unification of synonyms.

[0064] (Example 2) The data linkage system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generation AI to unify vocabulary and facilitate data linkage. This data linkage system collects data from each field and inputs it into the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the collected data and unifies the vocabulary used in each field. For example, if city OS data and DX data are recorded in different formats, the generation AI analyzes the data and converts them into a common vocabulary. Next, data linkage is performed based on the data unified by the generation AI. This allows data from different fields to be easily linked and mutually usable. For example, city OS data and DX data are linked in a unified format, which makes the operation and management of cities more efficient. Furthermore, by understanding the exchange of data linkage on a dashboard, any analysis is possible. For example, the flow of data can be visualized on the dashboard, and it is possible to understand at a glance which data is being used in which field and how. This allows the data usage status to be monitored in real time and adjustments to be made as necessary. This mechanism promotes the unification of data formats, making it easier to link across fields such as DX and city OS. By using the generation AI, it is possible to achieve efficient and effective data linkage beyond the limits of human unification. This enables the data linkage system to efficiently collect, analyze, link, and monitor data.

The generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to unify the vocabulary of the collected data and convert it into a common vocabulary. Step 3: The linking unit links data based on the data unified by the analysis unit. Data linking includes the use of APIs and standardization of data formats. The linking unit links data from different fields based on the unified data. Step 4: The monitoring unit visualizes the data flow on a dashboard and detects anomalies and monitors performance.

The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.

[0159] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads out the specific program 60 from the storage 50, and executes the specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0160] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.

[0161] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0162] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data) is input. The data generation model 58 infers the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats of voice data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, a text generation AI, an image generation AI, and a multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI. The AI ​​other than the generation AI is, for example, a linear regression, a logistic regression, a decision tree, a random forest, a support vector machine (SVM), a k-means clustering, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), or a naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to such examples. The AI ​​may be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each part described above are performed by an AI, the processes are performed in part or in whole by the AI, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processes, and the rule-based processes may be replaced with processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI.

[0163] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0164] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned collection unit, analysis unit, linkage unit, and monitoring unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and collects data in each field. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the collected data using a generation AI and unifies the vocabulary. The linkage unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and performs data linkage based on the unified data. The monitoring unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and visualizes the data flow on a dashboard, and performs anomaly detection and performance monitoring. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0165] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.

[0166] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0167] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[0168] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0169] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.

[0170] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0171] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.

[0172] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.

[0173] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0174] In addition, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 upon request from the data processing device 12.

[0175] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

[0176] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, various processors as shown below can be used. An example of the processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing the specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of the processor is a dedicated electric circuit, which is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively for executing a specific process, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.

[0177] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0178] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration in which a processor is used that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0179] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0180] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments are described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, the smart glasses 214, the headset terminal 314, and the robot 414 are only examples, and they may be combined with each other, or may be other devices. In the above example, the first and second embodiments are described separately, but they may be combined.

For example, the above description of the configuration, function, action, and effect is an example of the configuration, function, action, and effect of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure.
