In addition, in this specification, the same idea as "A and / or B" is also applied when three or more things are expressed by connecting them with "and / or."

[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).

[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 processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the specific processing 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 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 diagnostic support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that checks for possibilities and oversights other than the diagnosis result given by the doctor himself and proposes the optimal treatment method. This diagnostic support system allows the patient to know other possibilities and treatment methods without getting a second opinion. It can also cover the lack of experience of on-call doctors and trainees who are not specialists. For example, a doctor inputs a diagnosis result. Next, the generating AI analyzes the diagnosis result and checks for other possibilities and oversights. The generating AI evaluates the validity of the diagnosis result based on past diagnostic data and medical literature and presents other possibilities. For example, if a doctor diagnoses pneumonia, the generating AI can present the possibility of other respiratory diseases. Furthermore, the generating AI proposes the optimal treatment method. The generating AI selects the optimal treatment method taking into account the patient's medical history and current symptoms. For example, if a patient is allergic to antibiotics, the generating AI can propose an alternative treatment method. This system allows the patient to know other possibilities and treatment methods without getting a second opinion. For example, even if a patient lives far away or does not have time to get a second opinion, the patient can use this system to know other possibilities and treatment methods. It can also make up for the lack of experience of doctors on call who are not specialists or trainees. For example, even if a doctor on call examines a patient outside of his / her specialty, he / she can use this system to learn about other possibilities and treatment methods. This enables appropriate medical care to be provided to patients. This allows the diagnosis support system to check for possibilities other than the diagnosis that the doctor himself / herself has made, or for oversights, and propose the optimal treatment method.

[0029] The diagnosis support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a presentation unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives a diagnosis result input by a doctor. The diagnosis result includes, for example, numerical data, text data, image data, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit can acquire the diagnosis result from, for example, an electronic medical record system. The reception unit can also receive a diagnosis result manually input by a doctor. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the diagnosis result input by the reception unit. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis or a machine learning algorithm, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the validity of the diagnosis result by referring to past diagnosis data and medical literature based on the diagnosis result. The presentation unit presents other possibilities based on the diagnosis result analyzed by the analysis unit. The other possibilities include, for example, the possibility of other diseases and treatment options, but are not limited to such examples. For example, when a doctor diagnoses pneumonia, the presentation unit can present the possibility of other respiratory diseases. The proposal unit proposes an optimal treatment method based on the other possibilities presented by the presentation unit. The suggestions include, but are not limited to, treatment methods such as drug therapy, surgical therapy, and rehabilitation. For example, the suggestion unit selects an optimal treatment method in consideration of the patient's medical history and current symptoms. In this way, the diagnosis support system according to the embodiment can check whether there are any possibilities or oversights other than the diagnosis result given by the doctor himself, and suggest an optimal treatment method.

[0030] The reception unit is a unit in which a doctor inputs a diagnosis result. The diagnosis result includes, but is not limited to, for example, numerical data, text data, and image data. The reception unit can, for example, obtain the diagnosis result from an electronic medical record system. The reception unit can also receive a diagnosis result manually input by a doctor. Specifically, data is obtained from the electronic medical record system using a medical information exchange standard such as HL7 or FHIR. This ensures data compatibility between different systems and enables smooth data linkage. In the case of manual input, a doctor inputs a diagnosis result through a dedicated interface. This interface is designed with an emphasis on ease of use, and is equipped with sliders and drop-down menus for inputting numerical data and an auto-completion function for inputting text data. For inputting image data, a drag-and-drop function or a camera function can be used to quickly and accurately upload images. In addition, the reception unit also has a function of checking the consistency of the input data and notifying the doctor if there is an inconsistency. This ensures the accuracy of the data and facilitates subsequent analysis processing.

[0031] The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the diagnosis results input by the reception unit. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the text data using natural language processing technology and analyzes the image data using image recognition technology. For example, in the analysis of the text data, medical literature and past diagnostic data are referred to to evaluate the validity of the diagnostic result. The generation AI extracts keywords and phrases related to the diagnostic result, and evaluates the reliability of the diagnostic result based on them. In addition, in the analysis of the image data, deep learning technology is used to identify abnormalities in the image. For example, signs of pneumonia are detected from a chest X-ray image, and the results are presented to the doctor. Furthermore, the analysis unit uses statistical analysis to evaluate the statistical significance of the diagnostic result. For example, it statistically verifies whether a specific symptom or test result is associated with other diseases, and evaluates the validity of the diagnostic result based on the results. As a result, the analysis unit can comprehensively analyze various data input from the reception unit and increase the reliability of the diagnostic result.

[0032] The presentation unit presents other possibilities based on the diagnosis results analyzed by the analysis unit. The other possibilities include, but are not limited to, the possibility of other diseases and treatment options. Specifically, the presentation unit provides information to the doctor in a visually easy-to-understand format based on the results analyzed by the generation AI. For example, an overview of the diagnosis results is displayed in a dashboard format, and other disease possibilities and treatment options are shown in graphs and charts. The presentation unit also has a function of highlighting important information so that the doctor can make a quick decision. For example, if a patient is diagnosed with pneumonia, the possibility of other respiratory diseases is displayed in different colors, and data and literature on which each possibility is based are provided as links. In addition, the presentation unit provides detailed analysis results and access links to related medical literature in case the doctor needs additional information. This allows the doctor to quickly and accurately consider other possibilities and obtain information to make an optimal diagnosis.

[0033] The suggestion unit proposes an optimal treatment method based on other possibilities presented by the suggestion unit. The suggestions include, but are not limited to, treatment methods such as drug therapy, surgical therapy, and rehabilitation. Specifically, the suggestion unit selects the optimal treatment method based on the data analyzed by the generation AI, taking into consideration the patient's medical history and current symptoms. For example, if a patient is diagnosed with pneumonia, the suggestion unit refers to past treatment data and the latest medical guidelines to propose the optimal antibiotic selection and dosage. In addition, if surgery is required, the suggestion unit evaluates the risk and success rate of the surgery and proposes the optimal surgical method. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can also propose the need for rehabilitation and a specific rehabilitation plan. For example, as a post-surgery rehabilitation plan, it proposes specific exercise therapy and nutritional management methods to support the patient's early recovery. The suggestion unit provides these suggestions to the doctor in a visually easy-to-understand format, helping the doctor to quickly select the optimal treatment method. As a result, the suggestion unit can check whether there are any possibilities or oversights other than the diagnosis result given by the doctor, and propose the optimal treatment method.

[0034] The analysis unit may include an evaluation unit that evaluates the validity of the diagnostic result based on past diagnostic data or medical literature. The evaluation unit evaluates the validity of the diagnostic result based on, for example, past diagnostic data. Past diagnostic data includes, for example, electronic medical record data and medical records, but is not limited to such examples. The evaluation unit may also evaluate the validity of the diagnostic result based on medical literature. Medical literature includes, for example, academic papers and guidelines, but is not limited to such examples. By evaluating the validity of the diagnostic result, it is possible to prevent oversight. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the evaluation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the evaluation unit may perform the evaluation using an AI model that inputs past diagnostic data or medical literature and evaluates the validity of the diagnostic result.

[0035] The suggestion unit may include a consideration unit that considers the patient's medical history or current symptoms. The consideration unit, for example, proposes an optimal treatment method based on the patient's medical history. The medical history includes, for example, past diseases, surgical history, allergy information, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The consideration unit may also propose an optimal treatment method based on current symptoms. The current symptoms include, for example, the patient's chief complaint, physical findings, test results, etc., but are not limited to such examples. This makes it possible to propose an optimal treatment method according to the individual situation of the patient. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the consideration unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the consideration unit may make a proposal using an AI model that inputs the patient's medical history and current symptoms and proposes an optimal treatment method.

[0036] The suggestion unit can suggest an alternative treatment method if the patient is allergic to antibiotics. The suggestion unit, for example, suggests an alternative treatment method if the patient is allergic to antibiotics. Alternative treatment methods include, but are not limited to, drug therapies other than antibiotics and non-drug therapies. This makes it possible to provide an appropriate treatment method even for patients with allergies. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the suggestion unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can make suggestions using an AI model that inputs allergy information of the patient and suggests alternative treatment methods.

[0037] The presentation unit can present the possibility of other respiratory diseases when the doctor diagnoses pneumonia. For example, when the doctor diagnoses pneumonia, the presentation unit presents the possibility of other respiratory diseases. Examples of other respiratory diseases include, but are not limited to, bronchitis, pulmonary tuberculosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This makes it possible to prevent oversight of diagnosis and to consider other possibilities. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the presentation unit can make a presentation using an AI model that presents the possibility of other respiratory diseases based on the diagnosis result input by the doctor.

[0038] The support unit can cover the lack of experience of on-call doctors or trainees who are not specialists. For example, the support unit provides a diagnostic support tool when a on-call doctor who is not a specialist makes a diagnosis. The diagnostic support tool includes, but is not limited to, for example, a diagnostic algorithm or a consultation system. The support unit can also provide an educational program or a supervision system when a trainee makes a diagnosis. This enables even a doctor with inexperience to make an appropriate diagnosis and propose treatment. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the support unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the support unit can provide support using an AI model that supports the diagnosis of on-call doctors or trainees who are not specialists.

[0039] The reception unit can analyze the doctor's past diagnostic history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests an input method (such as voice or text) that the doctor has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also automatically display input items related to a specific diagnostic result from the doctor's past diagnostic history. Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze the doctor's past diagnostic history and suggest an optimal input order. This makes it possible to provide an optimal input method based on the doctor's past diagnostic history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the doctor's past diagnostic history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal input method.

[0040] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the doctor's specialty and experience when inputting the diagnosis result. For example, the reception unit preferentially displays only the diagnosis result related to the doctor's specialty. The reception unit can also customize the input items of the diagnosis result based on the doctor's experience. Furthermore, the reception unit can filter the input items of the diagnosis result based on the doctor's specialty and experience and omit unnecessary items. This enables filtering based on the doctor's specialty and experience. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the doctor's specialty and experience data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform filtering.

[0041] When inputting a diagnosis result, the reception unit can preferentially input a highly relevant diagnosis result in consideration of the geographical location information of the doctor. For example, when the doctor is examining a patient in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially inputs a diagnosis result related to the area. The reception unit can also preferentially input a diagnosis result related to a disease specific to the area based on the geographical location information of the doctor. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially input a diagnosis result based on the medical resources of the area in consideration of the geographical location information of the doctor. This enables preferential input of a diagnosis result based on geographical location information. 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 the geographical location information data of the doctor to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the preferential input of a highly relevant diagnosis result.

[0042] The reception unit can analyze the doctor's social media activity and input the related diagnosis result when inputting the diagnosis result. For example, the reception unit preferentially inputs the diagnosis result related to the disease of interest from the doctor's social media activity. The reception unit can also analyze the doctor's social media activity and preferentially input the diagnosis result related to the trend. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially input the diagnosis result related to the specialty field based on the doctor's social media activity.

[0183] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] These emotions are distributed in the three 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.

[0188] 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).

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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."

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, the following various processors 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.
