[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. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (e.g., a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see FIG. 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] Output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to a user by outputting the data in a form of expression that the user can perceive (e.g., voice and / or text).

Camera 42 is a compact digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor or a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensor.

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for transmitting and receiving various types of information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.

[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. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.

[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 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.

[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 waiting space optimization system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that segments waiting spaces based on the symptoms of patients and the situation of the day, and utilizes real-time priority changes, a notification system, and a feedback loop. In this system, when a patient arrives at a medical institution, the patient inputs symptoms at the reception desk. For example, symptoms such as fever, cough, and abdominal pain are input. This information is entered into the system. Next, the system analyzes the input symptoms and the situation of the day (for example, the congestion status of the waiting space and the availability of doctors) and assigns the optimal waiting space. For example, a patient with a fever is guided to a specific waiting space to be isolated from other patients. Furthermore, the system monitors the situation of the waiting space in real time and changes the priority as necessary. For example, if an emergency occurs, the priority of the patient is raised and the patient is dealt with promptly. In addition, the system utilizes a notification system to notify patients of changes in waiting time and waiting space in real time. For example, a shortened waiting time and a change in waiting space are notified through a smartphone app. Finally, the system utilizes a feedback loop to collect feedback from patients and use it to improve the system. For example, feedback on waiting time and comfort of the waiting space is collected and reflected in the next visit. This mechanism reduces waiting times and optimizes resources, improving patient satisfaction. As a result, the waiting space optimization system can optimize waiting spaces based on patients' symptoms and the situation on that day, reducing waiting times and optimizing resources.

[0029] The waiting space optimization system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, an allocation unit, a monitoring unit, a notification unit, and a feedback unit. The reception unit inputs the symptoms of the patient. The symptoms of the patient include, for example, fever, cough, abdominal pain, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit can input the symptoms using, for example, a touch panel or voice input. The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms input by the reception unit and the situation on that day. The analysis unit analyzes the congestion status of the waiting space and the availability status of the doctor, for example, using statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms. The allocation unit allocates the waiting space based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space, for example, based on the size of the waiting space and the number of available seats. The monitoring unit monitors the status of the waiting space allocated by the allocation unit in real time and changes the priority as necessary. The monitoring unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space, for example, using camera monitoring or sensor monitoring. The notification unit notifies the patient based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. The notification unit notifies the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space, for example, via a smartphone app. The feedback unit collects feedback from the patient. The feedback unit collects feedback from the patient, for example, through a questionnaire or an interview. As a result, the waiting space optimization system according to the embodiment can optimize the waiting space based on the patient's symptoms and the situation of the day, thereby reducing the waiting time and optimizing resources.

[0030] The reception unit inputs the symptoms of the examinee. The symptoms of the examinee include, but are not limited to, fever, cough, abdominal pain, etc. The reception unit can input the symptoms using, for example, a touch panel or voice input. Specifically, the touch panel is designed to allow intuitive operation and to allow the examinee to easily select the symptoms. For example, the touch panel displays common symptoms such as fever, cough, abdominal pain, etc. as icons or text, and the examinee can complete the input by simply tapping the corresponding symptom. Voice input is particularly useful for elderly people and visually impaired people, and the system can automatically recognize and input the symptoms simply by the examinee verbally describing his or her symptoms. Voice recognition technology uses natural language processing to analyze the examinee's speech and identify the appropriate symptoms. Furthermore, the reception unit can simultaneously input basic information of the examinee (such as name, age, and gender), which makes subsequent analysis and allocation more accurate. The reception unit immediately stores the input information in a database and makes it accessible to the analysis unit and other departments. This allows the reception unit to quickly and accurately collect the symptoms and basic information of the examinee, improving the efficiency of the entire system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms input by the reception unit and the situation of the day. For the analysis, statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms are used to analyze the congestion status of the waiting area and the availability of doctors. Specifically, statistical analysis predicts the current congestion status based on past data and grasps the trend of peak hours and congestion. For example, by extracting congestion patterns on specific days of the week and time periods from past data and comparing them with the current situation, it is possible to predict future congestion. On the other hand, machine learning algorithms enable more advanced analysis and grasp and predict the situation in real time. For example, a model is constructed that uses the symptoms and basic information of patients, past medical history, etc. as input data to predict the optimal allocation of waiting spaces and the availability of doctors. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively analyze the symptoms of patients and the situation of the day and provide information necessary for optimizing the waiting space. Furthermore, the analysis unit can continuously revise the analysis results based on data updated in real time to respond to the latest situation. For example, if the congestion status of the waiting area changes suddenly, the analysis unit immediately takes in new data and updates the analysis results. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns or abnormal data and issue early warnings, allowing the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0032] The allocation unit allocates waiting spaces based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space based on the size of the waiting space and the number of available seats. Specifically, the layout of the waiting space and the arrangement of the seats are taken into consideration so that patients can wait comfortably. For example, by allocating many patients to a large waiting space and a small number of patients to a small space, congestion can be avoided. The allocation unit can also set priorities according to the symptoms and urgency of the patients and change the allocation of waiting spaces as necessary. For example, an efficient waiting environment is provided by preferentially allocating a large waiting space to patients with serious symptoms and allocating other spaces to patients with mild symptoms. Furthermore, the allocation unit can continuously optimize the allocation of waiting spaces based on data updated in real time. For example, the allocation unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space and the arrival status of patients, and adjusts the allocation as necessary. The allocation unit can also improve the arrangement and allocation method of the waiting space based on feedback from patients. As a result, the allocation unit can provide a comfortable and efficient waiting environment for patients and improve the performance of the entire system.

[0033] The monitoring unit monitors the status of the waiting space assigned by the allocation unit in real time, and changes the priority as necessary. The monitoring unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space using camera monitoring and sensor monitoring. Specifically, in camera monitoring, the video of the waiting space is analyzed in real time to grasp the number and movements of patients. For example, the number of patients can be counted from the camera video and the congestion level can be evaluated. In addition, in sensor monitoring, various sensors (e.g., temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, etc.) installed in the waiting space are used to detect environmental changes and the movements of patients. This allows the monitoring unit to grasp the status of the waiting space in detail and change the priority as necessary. For example, if a specific waiting space is excessively crowded, the monitoring unit can instruct the patient to move to another waiting space. In addition, the monitoring unit can use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect unusual patterns or abnormal situations early and take appropriate measures. As a result, the monitoring unit can ensure the comfort and safety of patients by monitoring the status of the waiting space in real time and taking prompt and appropriate measures.

[0034] The notification unit notifies the patient based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. The notification unit notifies the patient of changes in waiting time and waiting space through a smartphone app. Specifically, a push notification is sent to the patient's smartphone to notify the patient of updates to the waiting time and changes to the waiting space in real time. For example, if the waiting time is shortened or the waiting space is changed, the patient is immediately notified. The notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple notification means such as voice guidance and vibration notification. This allows the patient to always grasp the latest information and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the notification unit can improve the content and method of notification based on the patient's feedback. For example, by analyzing feedback from the patient and optimizing the timing and content of the notification, more effective information transmission is achieved. The notification unit can also provide special notifications in the event of an emergency to encourage the patient to respond quickly. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably provide information to the patient, thereby helping to reduce waiting time and optimize resources.

[0035] The feedback unit collects feedback from patients. The feedback unit collects feedback from patients through questionnaires and interviews. Specifically, the feedback unit provides a questionnaire that allows patients to express their opinions about their experience in the waiting area and the usability of the system. For example, questions are asked about the length of the waiting time, the comfort of the waiting area, the ease of use of the system, etc., and the satisfaction of the patients is evaluated. In addition, in the interview, detailed feedback can be collected by directly interacting with the patients. This allows the feedback unit to grasp the opinions and requests of the patients in detail and use them to improve the system. Furthermore, the feedback unit stores the collected feedback in a database and makes it accessible to the analysis unit and other departments. This allows the feedback unit to improve the entire system based on the opinions of the patients and increase the satisfaction of the patients. For example, the layout of the waiting area and the operation method of the system are reviewed based on the feedback of the patients, providing a more comfortable and easy-to-use environment. In addition, the feedback unit regularly collects and analyzes feedback to make continuous improvements. This allows the feedback unit to improve the system by reflecting the opinions of the patients and increase the satisfaction of the patients.

[0036] The monitoring unit may include a sensor unit that monitors the congestion status of the waiting space in real time. The sensor unit may include, but is not limited to, an infrared sensor or a camera sensor. The monitoring unit may install an additional sensor to monitor the congestion status of the waiting space in real time. The monitoring unit may also improve the accuracy of the sensor to grasp the congestion status more accurately. Furthermore, the monitoring unit may analyze the sensor data in real time and adjust the allocation of the waiting space according to the congestion status. This makes it possible to take appropriate measures by monitoring the congestion status of the waiting space in real time. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit may input data acquired from the sensor to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute an analysis of the congestion status.

[0037] The feedback unit may include an interface unit for collecting feedback from patients. The interface unit may include, but is not limited to, a touch panel or voice input. The feedback unit may be provided with, for example, a touch panel in order to efficiently collect feedback from patients. The feedback unit may also collect feedback from patients using voice input. Furthermore, the feedback unit may also collect feedback from patients in real time through the interface unit. This allows the feedback from patients to be efficiently collected and used to improve the system. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the feedback unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the feedback unit may input feedback data acquired from the interface unit to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to analyze the feedback.

[0038] The analysis unit can analyze the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor. For example, the analysis unit can use the number of people count and the length of stay as evaluation criteria to analyze the congestion of the waiting space. The analysis unit can also use the consultation time and the reservation status as evaluation criteria to analyze the availability of the doctor. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. This makes it possible to optimally allocate the waiting space by analyzing the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform the analysis.

[0039] The notification unit can notify the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space through a smartphone app. The notification unit can notify the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space through, for example, a smartphone app. The notification unit can notify the patient in real time using a push notification function. The notification unit can also notify the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space using a real-time update function. Furthermore, the notification unit can also build a system for notifying the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space through a smartphone app. This improves the convenience of the patient by notifying the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space in real time. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can input information on changes to the waiting time and waiting space into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate the notification content.

[0040] The feedback unit can collect feedback from examinees and use it to improve the system. The feedback unit can, for example, conduct a questionnaire to collect feedback from examinees. The feedback unit can also collect feedback from examinees through interviews. Furthermore, the feedback unit can build a system for collecting feedback from examinees and using it to improve the system. This allows feedback from examinees to be collected and used to improve the system, thereby improving the satisfaction of examinees. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the feedback unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the feedback unit can input the collected feedback data to a generation AI and have the generation AI perform an analysis of the feedback.

[0041] The reception unit can analyze the examinee's past medical history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit can automatically display symptoms that the examinee has frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (such as voice and text) that the examinee has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest symptoms to be used in a specific time period based on the examinee's past medical history. This improves input efficiency by selecting the optimal input method based on the examinee's past medical history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input past medical history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal input method.

[0042] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the examinee's current health condition and living situation when inputting symptoms. For example, when the examinee inputs his / her current health condition, the reception unit can preferentially display related symptoms. The reception unit can also filter related symptoms taking into account the examinee's living situation (for example, work stress and home situation). Furthermore, if the examinee has a specific health condition (for example, chronic disease), the reception unit can also preferentially display symptoms related to that condition. As a result, by filtering based on the examinee's current health condition and living situation, related symptoms can be preferentially displayed. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the examinee's health condition and living situation to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute filtering.

[0043] When inputting symptoms, the reception unit can preferentially input highly relevant symptoms in consideration of the examinee's geographical location information. For example, if the examinee lives in a specific area, the reception unit can preferentially display symptoms that are prevalent in that area. In addition, if the examinee is traveling, the reception unit can also preferentially display symptoms related to health risks at the travel destination. Furthermore, if the examinee works in a specific environment (for example, a factory or a farm), the reception unit can also preferentially display symptoms related to that environment. In this way, by considering the examinee's geographical location information, highly relevant symptoms can be preferentially input. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the examinee's geographical location information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select highly relevant symptoms.

[0044] The reception unit can analyze the examinee's social media activity and input related symptoms when inputting symptoms. The reception unit can suggest related symptoms based on, for example, health information shared by the examinee on social media. The reception unit can also preferentially display symptoms related to a specific health risk from the examinee's social media activity. Furthermore, the reception unit can automatically input symptoms mentioned by the examinee on social media. In this way, related symptoms can be efficiently input by analyzing the examinee's social media activity. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the examinee's social media activity data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select related symptoms.

[0045] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the symptom during the analysis. The analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis on an important symptom, for example. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on a minor symptom. Furthermore, the analysis unit can determine the priority of the analysis according to the importance of the symptom. As a result, by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the symptom, a detailed analysis can be performed on an important symptom. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom importance data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis.

[0046] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the symptom category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply a dedicated analysis algorithm to respiratory symptoms. The analysis unit can also apply a dedicated analysis algorithm to digestive symptoms. The analysis unit can also apply a dedicated analysis algorithm to nervous symptoms. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying an appropriate analysis algorithm depending on the symptom category. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom category data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select an analysis algorithm.

[0047] The analysis unit can determine the priority of the analysis based on the time of submission of the symptoms during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of recently submitted symptoms. Also, the analysis unit can postpone the analysis of symptoms submitted in the past. Furthermore, the analysis unit can dynamically adjust the priority of the analysis according to the time of submission.

[0065] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0066] The monitoring unit may further include an environmental monitoring unit. The environmental monitoring unit has the function of collecting and analyzing environmental data such as the temperature, humidity, and air quality of the waiting area in real time. For example, if the temperature of the waiting area is too high, the environmental monitoring unit can issue instructions to the air conditioning system to appropriately adjust the temperature. It can also operate a humidifier if the humidity is low. Furthermore, it can operate the ventilation system if the air quality deteriorates. This makes it possible to always maintain the environment of the waiting area in an optimal state, improving the comfort of patients.

[0067] The analysis unit can further include a predictive analysis unit. The predictive analysis unit has a function of predicting future congestion in the waiting area and doctor availability based on past data. For example, if congestion is predicted on a specific day of the week or time period based on past data, the predictive analysis unit can adjust the allocation of waiting areas in advance based on that information. It can also predict doctor availability and adjust doctor schedules as necessary. This makes it possible to prevent congestion in the waiting area in advance and further shorten patients' waiting times.

[0068] The notification unit can further include a multilingual support unit. When patients speak different languages, the multilingual support unit has a function of providing notifications corresponding to the languages. For example, notifications can be provided in English to patients who speak English, and in Spanish to patients who speak Spanish. The multilingual support unit can also automatically select an appropriate language based on the patient's language setting.

[0070] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0071] Step 1: The reception unit inputs the symptoms of the patient. The symptoms of the patient include, but are not limited to, fever, cough, abdominal pain, etc. The reception unit can input the symptoms using, for example, a touch panel or voice input. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms entered by the reception unit and the situation on that day. For example, the analysis unit uses statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms to analyze the congestion situation of the waiting area and the availability of doctors. Step 3: The allocation unit allocates the waiting space based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space based on, for example, the size of the waiting space and the number of available seats. Step 4: The monitoring unit monitors the status of the waiting space allocated by the allocation unit in real time and changes the priority as necessary. The monitoring unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space, for example, by using a camera or a sensor. Step 5: The notification unit notifies the patient based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the notification unit notifies the patient of changes to the waiting time or waiting space via a smartphone app. Step 6: The feedback section collects feedback from the examinees. The feedback section collects feedback from the examinees, for example, through a questionnaire or interview.

[0072] (Example 2) The waiting space optimization system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that segments waiting spaces based on the symptoms of patients and the situation of the day, and utilizes real-time priority changes, a notification system, and a feedback loop. In this system, when a patient arrives at a medical institution, the patient inputs symptoms at the reception desk. For example, symptoms such as fever, cough, and abdominal pain are input. This information is entered into the system. Next, the system analyzes the input symptoms and the situation of the day (for example, the congestion status of the waiting space and the availability of doctors) and assigns the optimal waiting space. For example, a patient with a fever is guided to a specific waiting space to be isolated from other patients. Furthermore, the system monitors the situation of the waiting space in real time and changes the priority as necessary. For example, if an emergency occurs, the priority of the patient is raised and the patient is dealt with promptly. In addition, the system utilizes a notification system to notify patients of changes in waiting time and waiting space in real time. For example, a shortened waiting time and a change in waiting space are notified through a smartphone app. Finally, the system utilizes a feedback loop to collect feedback from patients and use it to improve the system. For example, feedback on waiting time and comfort of the waiting space is collected and reflected in the next visit. This mechanism reduces waiting times and optimizes resources, improving patient satisfaction. As a result, the waiting space optimization system can optimize waiting spaces based on patients' symptoms and the situation on that day, reducing waiting times and optimizing resources.

[0073] The waiting space optimization system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, an allocation unit, a monitoring unit, a notification unit, and a feedback unit. The reception unit inputs the symptoms of the patient. The symptoms of the patient include, for example, fever, cough, abdominal pain, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit can input the symptoms using, for example, a touch panel or voice input. The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms input by the reception unit and the situation on that day. The analysis unit analyzes the congestion status of the waiting space and the availability status of the doctor, for example, using statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms. The allocation unit allocates the waiting space based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space, for example, based on the size of the waiting space and the number of available seats. The monitoring unit monitors the status of the waiting space allocated by the allocation unit in real time and changes the priority as necessary. The monitoring unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space, for example, using camera monitoring or sensor monitoring. The notification unit notifies the patient based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. The notification unit notifies the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space, for example, via a smartphone app. The feedback unit collects feedback from the patient. The feedback unit collects feedback from the patient, for example, through a questionnaire or an interview. As a result, the waiting space optimization system according to the embodiment can optimize the waiting space based on the patient's symptoms and the situation of the day, thereby reducing the waiting time and optimizing resources.

[0074] The reception unit inputs the symptoms of the examinee. The symptoms of the examinee include, but are not limited to, fever, cough, abdominal pain, etc. The reception unit can input the symptoms using, for example, a touch panel or voice input. Specifically, the touch panel is designed to allow intuitive operation and to allow the examinee to easily select the symptoms. For example, the touch panel displays common symptoms such as fever, cough, abdominal pain, etc. as icons or text, and the examinee can complete the input by simply tapping the corresponding symptom. Voice input is particularly useful for elderly people and visually impaired people, and the system can automatically recognize and input the symptoms simply by the examinee verbally describing his or her symptoms. Voice recognition technology uses natural language processing to analyze the examinee's speech and identify the appropriate symptoms. Furthermore, the reception unit can simultaneously input basic information of the examinee (such as name, age, and gender), which makes subsequent analysis and allocation more accurate. The reception unit immediately stores the input information in a database and makes it accessible to the analysis unit and other departments. This allows the reception unit to quickly and accurately collect the symptoms and basic information of the examinee, improving the efficiency of the entire system.

[0075] The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms input by the reception unit and the situation of the day. For the analysis, statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms are used to analyze the congestion status of the waiting area and the availability of doctors. Specifically, statistical analysis predicts the current congestion status based on past data and grasps the trend of peak hours and congestion. For example, by extracting congestion patterns on specific days of the week and time periods from past data and comparing them with the current situation, it is possible to predict future congestion. On the other hand, machine learning algorithms enable more advanced analysis and grasp and predict the situation in real time. For example, a model is constructed that uses the symptoms and basic information of patients, past medical history, etc. as input data to predict the optimal allocation of waiting spaces and the availability of doctors. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively analyze the symptoms of patients and the situation of the day and provide information necessary for optimizing the waiting space. Furthermore, the analysis unit can continuously revise the analysis results based on data updated in real time to respond to the latest situation. For example, if the congestion status of the waiting area changes suddenly, the analysis unit immediately takes in new data and updates the analysis results. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns or abnormal data and issue early warnings, allowing the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0076] The allocation unit allocates waiting spaces based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space based on the size of the waiting space and the number of available seats. Specifically, the layout of the waiting space and the arrangement of the seats are taken into consideration so that patients can wait comfortably. For example, by allocating many patients to a large waiting space and a small number of patients to a small space, congestion can be avoided. The allocation unit can also set priorities according to the symptoms and urgency of the patients and change the allocation of waiting spaces as necessary. For example, an efficient waiting environment is provided by preferentially allocating a large waiting space to patients with serious symptoms and allocating other spaces to patients with mild symptoms. Furthermore, the allocation unit can continuously optimize the allocation of waiting spaces based on data updated in real time. For example, the allocation unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space and the arrival status of patients, and adjusts the allocation as necessary. The allocation unit can also improve the arrangement and allocation method of the waiting space based on feedback from patients. As a result, the allocation unit can provide a comfortable and efficient waiting environment for patients and improve the performance of the entire system.

[0077] The monitoring unit monitors the status of the waiting space assigned by the allocation unit in real time, and changes the priority as necessary. The monitoring unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space using camera monitoring and sensor monitoring. Specifically, in camera monitoring, the video of the waiting space is analyzed in real time to grasp the number and movements of patients. For example, the number of patients can be counted from the camera video and the congestion level can be evaluated. In addition, in sensor monitoring, various sensors (e.g., temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, etc.) installed in the waiting space are used to detect environmental changes and the movements of patients. This allows the monitoring unit to grasp the status of the waiting space in detail and change the priority as necessary. For example, if a specific waiting space is excessively crowded, the monitoring unit can instruct the patient to move to another waiting space. In addition, the monitoring unit can use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect unusual patterns or abnormal situations early and take appropriate measures. As a result, the monitoring unit can ensure the comfort and safety of patients by monitoring the status of the waiting space in real time and taking prompt and appropriate measures.

[0078] The notification unit notifies the patient based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. The notification unit notifies the patient of changes in waiting time and waiting space through a smartphone app. Specifically, a push notification is sent to the patient's smartphone to notify the patient of updates to the waiting time and changes to the waiting space in real time. For example, if the waiting time is shortened or the waiting space is changed, the patient is notified immediately. The notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple notification means such as voice guidance and vibration notification. This allows the patient to always grasp the latest information and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the notification unit can improve the content and method of notification based on the patient's feedback. For example, by analyzing feedback from the patient and optimizing the timing and content of the notification, more effective information transmission is achieved. The notification unit can also provide special notifications in the event of an emergency to encourage the patient to respond quickly. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably provide information to the patient, thereby helping to reduce waiting time and optimize resources.

[0079] The feedback unit collects feedback from patients. The feedback unit collects feedback from patients through questionnaires and interviews. Specifically, the feedback unit provides a questionnaire that allows patients to express their opinions about their experience in the waiting area and the usability of the system. For example, questions are asked about the length of the waiting time, the comfort of the waiting area, the ease of use of the system, etc., and the satisfaction of the patients is evaluated. In addition, in the interview, detailed feedback can be collected by directly interacting with the patients. This allows the feedback unit to grasp the opinions and requests of the patients in detail and use them to improve the system. Furthermore, the feedback unit stores the collected feedback in a database and makes it accessible to the analysis unit and other departments. This allows the feedback unit to improve the entire system based on the opinions of the patients and increase the satisfaction of the patients. For example, the layout of the waiting area and the operation method of the system are reviewed based on the feedback of the patients, providing a more comfortable and easy-to-use environment. In addition, the feedback unit regularly collects and analyzes feedback to make continuous improvements. This allows the feedback unit to improve the system by reflecting the opinions of the patients and increase the satisfaction of the patients.

Furthermore, the monitoring unit may analyze the sensor data in real time and adjust the allocation of the waiting space according to the congestion status. This makes it possible to take appropriate measures by monitoring the congestion status of the waiting space in real time. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit may input data acquired from the sensor to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute an analysis of the congestion status.

[0081] The feedback unit may include an interface unit for collecting feedback from patients. The interface unit may include, but is not limited to, a touch panel or voice input. The feedback unit may be provided with, for example, a touch panel in order to efficiently collect feedback from patients. The feedback unit may also collect feedback from patients using voice input. Furthermore, the feedback unit may also collect feedback from patients in real time through the interface unit. This allows the feedback from patients to be efficiently collected and used to improve the system. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the feedback unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the feedback unit may input feedback data acquired from the interface unit to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to analyze the feedback.

[0082] The analysis unit can analyze the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor. For example, the analysis unit can use the number of people count and the length of stay as evaluation criteria to analyze the congestion of the waiting space. The analysis unit can also use the consultation time and the reservation status as evaluation criteria to analyze the availability of the doctor. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. This makes it possible to optimally allocate the waiting space by analyzing the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the congestion of the waiting space and the availability of the doctor to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform the analysis.

[0083] The notification unit can notify the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space through a smartphone app. The notification unit can notify the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space through, for example, a smartphone app. The notification unit can notify the patient in real time using a push notification function. The notification unit can also notify the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space using a real-time update function. Furthermore, the notification unit can also build a system for notifying the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space through a smartphone app. This improves the convenience of the patient by notifying the patient of changes to the waiting time and waiting space in real time. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can input information on changes to the waiting time and waiting space into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate the notification content.

[0084] The feedback unit can collect feedback from examinees and use it to improve the system. The feedback unit can, for example, conduct a questionnaire to collect feedback from examinees. The feedback unit can also collect feedback from examinees through interviews. Furthermore, the feedback unit can build a system for collecting feedback from examinees and using it to improve the system. This allows feedback from examinees to be collected and used to improve the system, thereby improving the satisfaction of examinees. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the feedback unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the feedback unit can input the collected feedback data to a generation AI and have the generation AI perform an analysis of the feedback.

[0085] The reception unit can estimate the emotion of the examinee and adjust the symptom input method based on the estimated emotion of the examinee. For example, when the examinee feels anxious, the reception unit can provide a simple and intuitive interface and minimize the input procedure. In addition, when the examinee is relaxed, the reception unit can provide detailed input options and suggest a customizable input method. Furthermore, when the examinee is in a hurry, the reception unit can prioritize voice input and enable the examinee to input symptoms quickly. In this way, the stress of the examinee can be reduced by adjusting the symptom input method according to the emotion of the examinee. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the reception unit can input facial expression data of the examinee to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute emotion estimation.

[0086] The reception unit can analyze the examinee's past medical history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit can automatically display symptoms that the examinee has frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (such as voice and text) that the examinee has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest symptoms to be used in a specific time period based on the examinee's past medical history. This improves input efficiency by selecting the optimal input method based on the examinee's past medical history.

Furthermore, if the patient is in a hurry, a waiting space that allows for quick response can be allocated. In this way, an optimal waiting space can be provided according to the emotion of the patient, improving the comfort of the patient.

[0128] The reception unit may further include a vital sign measurement unit. The vital sign measurement unit has the function of measuring the patient's vital signs, such as body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, and inputting the data into the system. For example, the patient's body temperature can be measured at the reception desk, and the data can be automatically input into the system. Similarly, blood pressure and heart rate can also be measured and input into the system. This makes it possible to more accurately analyze symptoms and allocate waiting spaces based on the patient's vital sign data.

[0129] The analysis unit can further use the emotion estimation function to adjust the way in which the analysis results are presented based on the patient's emotions. For example, if the patient is feeling anxious, it can provide simple, easy-to-understand analysis results. If the patient is relaxed, it can provide detailed analysis results. If the patient is in a hurry, it can provide analysis results that focus on the main points. In this way, by adjusting the way the analysis results are presented according to the patient's emotions, it is possible to provide information that is easy for the patient to understand.

[0130] The notification unit can further use the emotion estimation function to adjust the way the notification is expressed based on the emotion of the patient. For example, if the patient is feeling anxious, the notification can be made in a calm manner. If the patient is relaxed, the notification can be made in a cheerful manner. If the patient is in a hurry, the notification can be made in a quick and concise manner. In this way, by adjusting the way the notification is expressed according to the emotion of the patient, it is possible to provide a notification that is easy for the patient to understand.

[0131] The feedback unit can further use the emotion estimation function to adjust the feedback collection method based on the emotion of the patient. For example, if the patient feels anxious, a simple and intuitive feedback form can be provided. If the patient feels relaxed, a detailed feedback form can be provided. Furthermore, if the patient is in a hurry, a method for quickly collecting feedback can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the feedback collection method according to the emotion of the patient, a feedback collection method appropriate for the patient can be provided.

[0132] The process flow of the second embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0133] Step 1: The reception unit inputs the symptoms of the patient. The symptoms of the patient include, but are not limited to, fever, cough, abdominal pain, etc. The reception unit can input the symptoms using, for example, a touch panel or voice input. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms entered by the reception unit and the situation on that day. For example, the analysis unit uses statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms to analyze the congestion situation of the waiting area and the availability of doctors. Step 3: The allocation unit allocates the waiting space based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space based on, for example, the size of the waiting space and the number of available seats. Step 4: The monitoring unit monitors the status of the waiting space allocated by the allocation unit in real time and changes the priority as necessary. The monitoring unit monitors the congestion status of the waiting space, for example, by using a camera or a sensor. Step 5: The notification unit notifies the patient based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the notification unit notifies the patient of changes to the waiting time or waiting space via a smartphone app. Step 6: The feedback section collects feedback from the examinees. The feedback section collects feedback from the examinees, for example, through a questionnaire or interview.

In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] Each of the multiple elements including the reception unit, analysis unit, allocation unit, monitoring unit, notification unit, and feedback unit described above is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit inputs the symptoms of the examinee using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes the input symptoms and the situation of the day by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The allocation unit allocates an optimal waiting space by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 based on the analysis result. The monitoring unit monitors the situation of the waiting space in real time using the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414, and changes the priority as necessary. The notification unit notifies the examinee of changes in waiting time and waiting space through the display and speaker of the robot 414. The feedback unit collects feedback from the examinee using the questionnaire function of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device and control unit is not limited to the above example, and various changes are possible.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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).

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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."

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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 using a processor 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] The above description and illustrations are detailed descriptions of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. 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. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replaced with respect to the description and illustrations shown above, within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. In addition, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the description and illustrations shown above omit explanations of technical common sense that do not require particular explanation in enabling the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
