Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The suicide prevention system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that estimates the possibility of suicide from facial expressions and movements captured by a camera and provides appropriate care. In this system, a camera captures the user's facial expressions and movements, and an AI analyzes the captured image to estimate the possibility of suicide, and provides appropriate care based on the estimation result. For example, the camera captures the user's facial expressions and body movements in detail, and the AI performs analysis based on data learned in advance. Based on the estimation result, a response is taken, such as displaying a message encouraging consultation with a specialist or sending a notification to an emergency contact. It is also possible to provide the user with advice on how to relax and a method of stress management. This system makes it possible to detect signs of suicide early and take appropriate measures. For example, by introducing this system in schools and workplaces, it is possible to detect signs of suicide without people around you noticing and respond early. This aims to reduce the number of suicides in Japan to zero. This allows the suicide prevention system to estimate the possibility of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements and provide appropriate care.
[0029] The suicide prevention system according to the embodiment includes a photographing unit, an analysis unit, and a care providing unit. The photographing unit photographs the user's facial expressions and movements with a camera. The user's facial expressions and movements include, but are not limited to, smiles, anger, sadness, hand movements, and body movements. The photographing unit, for example, uses a high-resolution camera to capture the user's facial expressions in detail. The photographing unit can also use a wide-angle camera to capture the user's overall body movements. Furthermore, the photographing unit can use multiple cameras to track the user's movements in real time. The analysis unit analyzes the video captured by the photographing unit and estimates the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit performs analysis based on, for example, data learned in advance. The data learned in advance includes, for example, past user data and general facial expression data sets. The analysis unit, for example, reads emotions from facial expressions and detects signs of stress and anxiety from hand movements. The analysis unit can estimate the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements using AI. The care providing unit provides care based on the estimation results obtained by the analysis unit. The care providing unit provides, for example, advice on relaxation methods and stress management. Examples of relaxation methods include deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and the like. Examples of stress management advice include time management, exercise, and hobby recommendations. The care providing unit can also display a message encouraging the user to consult with a specialist. Examples of messages encouraging the user to consult with a specialist include text messages, voice messages, and notification methods. The care providing unit can also send a notification to an emergency contact. Examples of emergency contacts include family, friends, and medical institutions. This allows the suicide prevention system according to the embodiment to estimate the possibility of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements and provide appropriate care.
[0030] The photographing unit photographs the user's facial expressions and movements with a camera. The user's facial expressions and movements include, but are not limited to, smiles, anger, sadness, hand movements, and body movements. The photographing unit, for example, uses a high-resolution camera to capture the user's facial expressions in detail. A high-resolution camera can capture minute changes in facial expressions and skin tension, which is important for more accurately grasping the user's emotional state. The photographing unit can also use a wide-angle camera to capture the user's entire body movements. A wide-angle camera can capture the user's entire body movements and changes in posture, and is particularly effective in detecting signs of stress and anxiety, such as hand movements and body shaking. Furthermore, the photographing unit can use multiple cameras to track the user's movements in real time. By using multiple cameras, it is possible to obtain images from different angles and analyze the user's movements in three dimensions. This makes it possible to capture the user's movements and changes in facial expressions in more detail, and improve the accuracy of the data provided to the analysis unit. The photographing unit is required to appropriately arrange these cameras and install them so as not to interfere with the user's movements. For example, the cameras are installed in the corners of a room or on the ceiling to provide an environment in which the user can act naturally. In addition, to protect privacy, it is important that the imaging unit obtains the user's consent before taking the image and ensures transparency regarding the handling of the data. This allows the imaging unit to capture the user's facial expressions and movements with high accuracy, improving the quality of the data provided to the analysis unit.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the video captured by the shooting unit and estimates the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit performs analysis based on, for example, pre-learned data. The pre-learned data includes, for example, past user data and general facial expression datasets. These datasets include various emotional states and behavioral patterns, and serve as the basis for AI to analyze the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit, for example, reads emotions from facial expressions and detects signs of stress and anxiety from hand movements. AI can analyze facial expressions using image recognition technology to capture subtle changes in facial expressions and muscle movements. For example, it extracts features that indicate emotions, such as eyebrow movements and the rising and falling of the corners of the mouth, and estimates the user's emotional state. It also analyzes changes in hand movements and body posture to detect signs of stress and anxiety. For example, it identifies behavioral patterns that indicate stress and anxiety, such as trembling hands, body shaking, and frequent movements. The analysis unit can use AI to estimate the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. AI compares past data with real-time data to detect abnormal patterns and signs of risk. For example, if a user shows expressions of sadness or anger for a long period of time, the AI will recognize this as a sign of risk and notify the care delivery department. Furthermore, the analysis unit can take into account the user's behavioral history and environmental data to perform more accurate risk estimation. This allows the analysis unit to estimate the risk of suicide with high accuracy from the user's expressions and movements, and provide the care delivery department with information to provide appropriate care.
[0032] The care providing unit provides care based on the estimation result obtained by the analysis unit. The care providing unit provides, for example, advice on relaxation methods and stress management. Examples of relaxation methods include deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and the like. These methods help the user to release mental and physical tension and relax. For example, the method of deep breathing is specifically explained and the user is guided to practice it. In addition, meditation and yoga sessions are provided to create an environment in which the user can relax. Advice on stress management includes, for example, time management, exercise, and hobby recommendations. The time management advice suggests a method for the user to use time efficiently and reduce stress. The exercise recommendation introduces a method for the user to perform moderate exercise and release stress. The hobby recommendation suggests a method for the user to find and enjoy an activity that interests the user and reduce stress. The care providing unit can also display a message encouraging the user to consult with a specialist. The message encouraging the user to consult with a specialist can include, for example, a text message, a voice message, and a notification method. This allows the user to receive support from a specialist when necessary. The care providing unit can also send a notification to an emergency contact. Emergency contacts include, for example, family, friends, medical institutions, etc. This allows the user to receive support quickly if he or she is in a dangerous condition. The care provision unit plays an important role in providing appropriate care according to the user's condition and protecting the user's safety and health. Furthermore, the care provision unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the quality of the care provided. For example, the user can evaluate the satisfaction and effectiveness of the care provided to them, and review the content of the care based on the results. This allows the care provision unit to provide the most appropriate care to the user and reduce the user's suicide risk.
[0033] The analysis unit may include a learning data unit that analyzes the user's facial expressions and movements based on previously learned data. The learning data unit performs learning based on, for example, past user data. The past user data includes, for example, data on the user's facial expressions and movements.

For example, the care providing unit can input the user's condition to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a notification to the emergency contact.
[0037] The photographing unit can use multiple cameras to capture not only the facial expression of the user but also the movement of the entire body in detail when photographing. For example, the photographing unit can install multiple cameras and simultaneously photograph the face and the entire body of the user from different angles. In addition, the arrangement of the cameras can be adjusted to photograph from an optimal viewpoint according to the movement of the user. Furthermore, a high-resolution camera can be used to capture the subtle facial expressions and movements of the user in detail. As a result, by using multiple cameras, the facial expressions and movements of the user can be captured in detail. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the photographing unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the photographing unit can input data from multiple cameras to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute an analysis of the facial expressions and movements of the user.
[0038] The photographing unit can simultaneously record the user's environmental sound during photographing and use it for analysis. The photographing unit, for example, has a built-in microphone in the camera and simultaneously records the environmental sound around the user. The environmental sound can also be analyzed and used as data for estimating the user's stress level and emotional state. Furthermore, it is also possible to detect changes in the environmental sound and grasp changes in the user's behavior and situation. In this way, by recording the environmental sound, the user's stress level and emotional state can be more accurately estimated. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the photographing unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the photographing unit can input the environmental sound data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the analysis of the environmental sound.
[0039] The imaging unit can detect abnormalities by comparing the past video data of the user at the time of imaging.

[0059] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0060] Step 1: The camera captures the user's facial expressions and movements with a camera. The user's facial expressions and movements include, for example, smiling, anger, sadness, hand movements, and body movements. The camera uses a high-resolution camera to capture the user's facial expressions in detail, and can also use a wide-angle camera to capture the user's entire body movements. It can also use multiple cameras to track the user's movements in real time. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the video captured by the camera unit and estimates the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit performs analysis based on pre-learned data, reading emotions from facial expressions and detecting signs of stress and anxiety from hand movements. Using AI, the analysis unit can estimate the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. Step 3: The care provider provides care based on the results of the analysis. The care provider can provide advice on relaxation and stress management, display a message encouraging the patient to consult a specialist, or send a notification to an emergency contact.
[0061] (Example 2) The suicide prevention system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that estimates the possibility of suicide from facial expressions and movements captured by a camera and provides appropriate care. In this system, a camera captures the user's facial expressions and movements, and an AI analyzes the captured image to estimate the possibility of suicide, and provides appropriate care based on the estimation result. For example, the camera captures the user's facial expressions and body movements in detail, and the AI performs analysis based on data learned in advance. Based on the estimation result, a response is taken, such as displaying a message encouraging consultation with a specialist or sending a notification to an emergency contact. It is also possible to provide the user with advice on how to relax and a method of stress management. This system makes it possible to detect signs of suicide early and take appropriate measures. For example, by introducing this system in schools and workplaces, it is possible to detect signs of suicide without people around you noticing and respond early. This aims to reduce the number of suicides in Japan to zero. This allows the suicide prevention system to estimate the possibility of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements and provide appropriate care.
[0062] The suicide prevention system according to the embodiment includes a photographing unit, an analysis unit, and a care providing unit. The photographing unit photographs the user's facial expressions and movements with a camera. The user's facial expressions and movements include, but are not limited to, smiles, anger, sadness, hand movements, and body movements. The photographing unit, for example, uses a high-resolution camera to capture the user's facial expressions in detail. The photographing unit can also use a wide-angle camera to capture the user's overall body movements. Furthermore, the photographing unit can use multiple cameras to track the user's movements in real time. The analysis unit analyzes the video captured by the photographing unit and estimates the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit performs analysis based on, for example, data learned in advance. The data learned in advance includes, for example, past user data and general facial expression data sets. The analysis unit, for example, reads emotions from facial expressions and detects signs of stress and anxiety from hand movements. The analysis unit can estimate the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements using AI. The care providing unit provides care based on the estimation results obtained by the analysis unit. The care providing unit provides, for example, advice on relaxation methods and stress management. Examples of relaxation methods include deep breathing, meditation, yoga, and the like. Examples of stress management advice include time management, exercise, and hobby recommendations. The care providing unit can also display a message encouraging the user to consult with a specialist. Examples of messages encouraging the user to consult with a specialist include text messages, voice messages, and notification methods. The care providing unit can also send a notification to an emergency contact. Examples of emergency contacts include family, friends, and medical institutions. This allows the suicide prevention system according to the embodiment to estimate the possibility of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements and provide appropriate care.
[0063] The photographing unit photographs the user's facial expressions and movements with a camera. The user's facial expressions and movements include, but are not limited to, smiles, anger, sadness, hand movements, and body movements. The photographing unit, for example, uses a high-resolution camera to capture the user's facial expressions in detail. A high-resolution camera can capture minute changes in facial expressions and skin tension, which is important for more accurately grasping the user's emotional state. The photographing unit can also use a wide-angle camera to capture the user's entire body movements. A wide-angle camera can capture the user's entire body movements and changes in posture, and is particularly effective in detecting signs of stress and anxiety, such as hand movements and body shaking. Furthermore, the photographing unit can use multiple cameras to track the user's movements in real time. By using multiple cameras, it is possible to obtain images from different angles and analyze the user's movements in three dimensions. This makes it possible to capture the user's movements and changes in facial expressions in more detail, and improve the accuracy of the data provided to the analysis unit. The photographing unit is required to appropriately arrange these cameras and install them so as not to interfere with the user's movements. For example, the cameras are installed in the corners of a room or on the ceiling to provide an environment in which the user can act naturally. In addition, to protect privacy, it is important that the imaging unit obtains the user's consent before taking the image and ensures transparency regarding the handling of the data. This allows the imaging unit to capture the user's facial expressions and movements with high accuracy, improving the quality of the data provided to the analysis unit.
[0064] The analysis unit analyzes the video captured by the shooting unit and estimates the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit performs analysis based on, for example, pre-learned data. The pre-learned data includes, for example, past user data and general facial expression datasets. These datasets include various emotional states and behavioral patterns, and serve as the basis for AI to analyze the user's facial expressions and movements. The analysis unit, for example, reads emotions from facial expressions and detects signs of stress and anxiety from hand movements. AI can analyze facial expressions using image recognition technology to capture subtle changes in facial expressions and muscle movements. For example, it extracts features that indicate emotions, such as eyebrow movements and the rising and falling of the corners of the mouth, and estimates the user's emotional state. It also analyzes changes in hand movements and body posture to detect signs of stress and anxiety. For example, it identifies behavioral patterns that indicate stress and anxiety, such as trembling hands, body shaking, and frequent movements. The analysis unit can use AI to estimate the risk of suicide from the user's facial expressions and movements. AI compares past data with real-time data to detect abnormal patterns and signs of risk. For example, if a user shows expressions of sadness or anger for a long period of time, the AI will recognize this as a sign of risk and notify the care delivery department. Furthermore, the analysis unit can take into account the user's behavioral history and environmental data to perform more accurate risk estimation. This allows the analysis unit to estimate the risk of suicide with high accuracy from the user's expressions and movements, and provide the care delivery department with information to provide appropriate care.

[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned photographing unit, analysis unit, and care providing unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the photographing unit is realized by the camera 42 of the robot 414, and captures the user's facial expressions and movements in detail. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the user's facial expressions and movements based on previously learned data, and estimates the risk of suicide. The care providing unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides advice on relaxation methods and stress management. The care providing unit is also realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and provides a message encouraging consultation with a specialist and a notification to an emergency contact. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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).
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
