AI analyzes these data and generates optimal sound content for the user. The generated sound content is provided to the user through a smartphone or speaker. The user sleeps while listening to the sound. Data during sleep is also collected and analyzed by AI. The analysis results are fed back, and further personalized sound content is generated the next day. This allows the user to get a high-quality sleep while listening to the optimal sound content every night. In addition, if the user dislikes wearable devices, it is also possible to collaborate with bedding manufacturers to develop a compatible pillow. This pillow has a built-in sensor that collects the user's health data. This makes it possible to collect the user's health data and provide the optimal sound content without using a wearable device. This allows the sleep promotion system to provide the optimal sound content according to the user's environment and health condition, promoting high-quality sleep.

[0030] The collection unit collects environmental data and health data. The environmental data includes, for example, room temperature, humidity, noise level, etc., but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the collection unit measures the temperature of the room with a temperature sensor and collects data. The temperature sensor is installed in multiple locations in the room, and can grasp the uniformity and fluctuation of the temperature in detail. In addition, the humidity sensor can be used to measure the humidity of the room and collect data. The humidity sensor monitors the air quality of the room and grasps the dryness and humidity state in real time. Furthermore, the collection unit can measure the noise level with a microphone and collect data. The microphone identifies the noise source in the room and records the fluctuation of the noise level. In this way, the collection unit can collect environmental data such as the room temperature, humidity, and noise level in detail and accurately grasp the user's sleep environment. The health data includes, for example, heart rate, respiratory rate, body movement, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit measures the user's heart rate with a heart rate sensor and collects data. The heart rate sensor monitors the fluctuation of the user's heart rate in real time and grasps the stress and relaxation state. The respiration rate can also be measured by a respiration sensor to collect data. The respiration sensor records the user's breathing pattern in detail and analyzes the depth and rhythm of breathing. Furthermore, the body movement can also be measured by an acceleration sensor to collect data. The acceleration sensor detects the user's body movement and records the movement and posture changes during sleep. This allows the collection unit to collect detailed health data such as the user's heart rate, respiration rate, and body movement, and accurately grasp the user's health condition. The collected environmental data and health data are transmitted to a central database so that the analysis unit can access them. This allows the collection unit to efficiently and effectively collect data and improve the performance of the entire system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis of data or a machine learning algorithm, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the analysis unit statistically analyzes the collected temperature data and analyzes the temperature fluctuations in the room. For the analysis of the temperature data, methods such as time series analysis and histogram analysis are used to detect the fluctuation pattern of the room temperature and abnormal values. In addition, the analysis unit can analyze the humidity fluctuations in the room by analyzing the collected humidity data with a machine learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm learns past data and builds a model that predicts future humidity fluctuations. Furthermore, the analysis unit can statistically analyze the collected noise level data and analyze the noise level fluctuations in the room. For the analysis of the noise level, methods such as frequency analysis and spectrum analysis are used to identify the noise source and grasp the noise level fluctuation pattern. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit can evaluate the state of the user's sleep environment and identify areas for improvement. Furthermore, the analysis unit analyzes the collected health data and evaluates the health state of the user. For example, the analysis unit statistically analyzes the heart rate data and analyzes the user's heart rate fluctuations. The heart rate is analyzed using techniques such as time series analysis and Fourier transform to detect the rhythm of the heart rate and abnormal values. The breathing rate data can also be analyzed using a machine learning algorithm to analyze the user's breathing pattern. The machine learning algorithm learns from past data and builds a model to predict future breathing patterns. Furthermore, the body movement data can be statistically analyzed to analyze changes in the user's body movement and posture. The body movement is analyzed using techniques such as time series analysis and clustering to grasp the change patterns of movement and posture during sleep. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and grasp the user's sleeping environment and health condition in real time.

[0032] The generating unit generates sound content based on the analysis result obtained by the analyzing unit. The sound content includes, for example, relaxing music, natural sounds, white noise, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the generating unit generates relaxing music based on the analysis result.

In addition, natural sounds can be generated based on the analysis result. The natural sounds include, for example, the sound of waves, the sound of wind, and the chirping of birds, and are selected according to the user's preferences and environment. Furthermore, white noise can be generated based on the analysis result. White noise includes sounds in a certain frequency band, blocks out external noise, and supports the user's sleep. The generating unit can generate these sound contents in real time and provide the optimal sound for the user's sleep environment. Furthermore, the generating unit can adjust the sound content based on the user's feedback to maximize the effect. For example, if the user likes relaxing music, the generating unit increases the variety of relaxing music and provides it according to the user's preferences. In addition, if the user likes natural sounds, the generating unit adjusts the type and playback pattern of the natural sounds to enhance the user's relaxing effect. This enables the generation unit to generate optimal sound content based on the analysis results, thereby promoting sleep for the user.

If the user is in a low stress state, a sound with a high relaxation effect can be generated. This makes it possible to promote sleep more effectively by adjusting the sound content based on the user's stress level.

[0105] The generator may generate sound content taking into consideration the user's preferred music genre. For example, if the user likes classical music, the generator may generate relaxing sounds based on classical music. If the user likes jazz, the generator may generate relaxing sounds based on jazz. This allows for more effective sleep promotion by adjusting the sound content based on the user's musical preferences.

[0106] The providing unit can also estimate the user's emotion and adjust the timing of providing the sound content based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is relaxed, the sound content can be provided slowly. When the user is stressed, the sound content can be provided quickly. This makes it possible to promote sleep more effectively by adjusting the timing of providing the sound content based on the user's emotion.

[0107] The collection unit collects changes in the user's body temperature while sleeping, and the analysis unit can generate sound content based on the data. For example, if the user's body temperature rises, a sound with a cooling effect can be generated. If the user's body temperature drops, a warm sound can be generated. This makes it possible to promote sleep more effectively by adjusting the sound content based on changes in the user's body temperature.

[0108] The analysis unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the feedback method of the analysis results based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed feedback can be provided. If the user is stressed, simplified feedback can be provided. This makes it possible to promote sleep more effectively by adjusting the feedback method based on the user's emotions.

[0109] The collection unit collects voice data of the user while he or she is sleeping, and the analysis unit can generate sound content based on that data. For example, if the user is snoring, a sound that has a snoring reduction effect can be generated. If the user is sleeping quietly, a sound that has a high relaxing effect can be generated. This makes it possible to promote sleep more effectively by adjusting the sound content based on the user's voice data.

[0110] The providing unit can also estimate the user's emotion and select a device for providing sound content based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is relaxed, the sound content can be provided through a speaker. When the user is stressed, the sound content can be provided through headphones. In this way, by selecting a providing device based on the user's emotion, more effective sleep promotion is possible.

[0111] The process flow of the second embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0112] Step 1: The collection unit collects environmental data and health data. The environmental data includes room temperature, humidity, noise level, etc., and the health data includes heart rate, respiratory rate, body movement, etc. The collection unit collects these data using a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a microphone, etc. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis is performed using statistical analysis of the data and machine learning algorithms. For example, statistical analysis of temperature data, analysis of humidity data using machine learning algorithms, statistical analysis of noise level data, etc. Step 3: The generator generates sound content based on the analysis result obtained by the analyzer, which may include relaxing music, natural sounds, white noise, etc. Step 4: The providing unit provides the sound content generated by the generating unit to the user via a smartphone app, a speaker, headphones, etc.

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 also be an AI agent.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit collects environmental data and health data using a sensor or a microphone of the robot 414. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the collected data. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and generates sound content based on the analysis result. The provision unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides the generated sound content to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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 on emotion map 400 you go, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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."

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration in which a processor is used that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.
