[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 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 nursing care diary input system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that accepts voice input from a caregiver, converts the voice data into text data, and optimizes and re-edits the input document using a generation AI. This system accepts voice input from a caregiver, converts the voice data into text data. Next, the generation AI re-edits the text data to make it an easy-to-read document. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the information in the nursing care diary, grasps the situation of the care recipient, and proposes appropriate care responses. This series of processes reduces the time and improves the efficiency of nursing care work. For example, a caregiver inputs the contents of the nursing care diary by voice. For example, the content such as "This morning, the care recipient went for a walk. In the afternoon, he / she underwent rehabilitation" is input by voice. This voice data is converted into text data by the generation AI. Next, the generation AI re-edits the text data. For example, grammar is corrected and expressions are unified to make the document easy to read. This makes the contents of the nursing care diary consistent, making it easy for other caregivers and medical staff to understand. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the information in the nursing care diary. For example, the change in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient are analyzed based on the data of past nursing care diaries. This allows the system to grasp the condition of the person receiving care and propose appropriate care responses. Finally, the system notifies the caregiver of the care response proposed by the generation AI. For example, the system may make a specific suggestion such as, "The condition of the person receiving care is deteriorating, so the frequency of future rehabilitation sessions should be reduced." This allows the caregiver to take appropriate measures according to the condition of the person receiving care. This system reduces the time and efficiency of care work, and reduces the burden on the caregiver. In addition, by providing appropriate responses to the person receiving care, the quality of care is improved. This allows the care diary input system to efficiently process the voice input of the caregiver, optimize the care diary, and propose care responses.
[0029] The nursing diary input system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a conversion unit, an editing unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The reception unit receives voice input from a caregiver. The voice input includes, for example, voice input using a microphone, voice input through a smartphone app, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The conversion unit converts the voice data received by the reception unit into text data using a generation AI. The generation AI converts the voice data into text data, for example, using a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The conversion unit can also convert the voice data into text data using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI converts the voice data into text data using a voice recognition technology. The editing unit re-edits the text data converted by the conversion unit using the generation AI. The re-editing includes, for example, grammar correction, unification of expressions, deletion of unnecessary information, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI corrects grammar using a grammar check tool. The generation AI can also unify expressions using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the generation AI can delete unnecessary information to create an easy-to-read document. The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information of the nursing care diary re-edited by the editing unit. The analysis includes, for example, data mining technology, statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI analyzes changes in the physical condition and behavior patterns of the care recipient based on data of the past nursing care diary. The generation AI can also grasp the situation of the care recipient and propose appropriate nursing care responses. The suggestion unit uses the generation AI to propose nursing care responses based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestions include, for example, suggestions for nursing care schedules and suggestions for improving nursing care methods, but are not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI suggests that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced if the physical condition of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also propose appropriate nursing care responses based on the behavior patterns of the care recipient. As a result, the nursing care diary input system according to the embodiment can efficiently process the voice input of the caregiver, optimize the nursing care diary, and propose nursing care responses.
[0030] The reception unit receives voice input from the caregiver. Voice input includes, but is not limited to, voice input using a microphone and voice input through a smartphone app. Specifically, in order to allow the caregiver to easily record the diary by voice while performing daily care work, it is recommended that the reception unit use a device with a high-sensitivity microphone and a noise canceling function. When using a smartphone app, the app has a function of converting voice input into text in real time and provides an interface that makes it easy for the caregiver to check the input content. In addition, when performing voice input, it is important to prepare a wealth of training data to improve the accuracy of the voice recognition engine so that it can handle the speed and accent of the caregiver's speech. Furthermore, in order to minimize misrecognition that may occur during voice input, the reception unit can register specific keywords and phrases in advance and improve the accuracy of voice recognition. This allows the caregiver to perform voice input without stress, and the diary recording work becomes more efficient.
[0031] The conversion unit converts the voice data received by the reception unit into text data using the generation AI. The generation AI converts the voice data into text data, for example, using a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The conversion unit can also convert the voice data into text data using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI converts the voice data into text data using a voice recognition technology. Specifically, the generation AI uses a voice recognition model to analyze the voice data and convert the spoken content into text with high accuracy. The voice recognition model is trained in advance with a large amount of voice data and corresponding text data, and is optimized to handle the caregiver's speech patterns and technical terms. Furthermore, the generation AI improves the conversion accuracy by removing noise from the voice data and extracting a clear voice signal. The generation AI can also generate easy-to-read text data by understanding the context of the voice data and inserting appropriate punctuation and line breaks. This allows the conversion unit to quickly and accurately convert the caregiver's voice input into text data and provide data necessary for subsequent processing.
[0032] The editing department re-edits the text data converted by the conversion department using the generation AI. Re-editing includes, for example, grammar correction, unification of expressions, and deletion of unnecessary information, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI corrects grammar using a grammar check tool. The generation AI can also unify expressions using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the generation AI can also delete unnecessary information to create a document that is easy to read. Specifically, the generation AI automatically detects grammatical errors in the text data and makes appropriate corrections. For example, it checks and corrects the agreement of subject and predicate, the agreement of tense, and the appropriate placement of punctuation marks. In addition, the generation AI unifies different expressions that have the same meaning and maintains consistency throughout the document. For example, the expressions "provide meals" and "serve meals" are unified to "provide meals". Furthermore, the generation AI deletes redundant expressions and unnecessary information to create a concise and easy-to-read document. For example, the sentence "The weather was nice today, so I went for a walk" is simplified to "I went for a walk". This enables the editorial department to turn the converted text data into a high-quality nursing care diary.
[0033] The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information in the nursing diary re-edited by the editing unit. Examples of the analysis include, but are not limited to, data mining technology, statistical analysis, and machine learning algorithms. For example, the generation AI analyzes the changes in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient based on the data in the past nursing diary. The generation AI can also grasp the situation of the care recipient and propose appropriate nursing care responses. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the data in the nursing diary in chronological order to extract trends in the changes in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient. For example, it analyzes data such as food intake, sleep time, and exercise amount to predict changes in physical condition. The generation AI can also use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect patterns that are different from the norm at an early stage and issue a warning to the caregiver. Furthermore, the generation AI derives the optimal nursing care method by comparing it with past data in order to propose nursing care responses according to the individual situation of the care recipient. For example, if the physical condition of the care recipient tends to deteriorate during a specific time period, it is suggested that special care be provided during that time period. This enables the analysis unit to perform advanced analysis of the data in the care diary, grasp the health condition of the person being cared for in real time, and support appropriate care responses.
[0034] The suggestion unit uses the generation AI to suggest care responses based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestions include, but are not limited to, suggestions for care schedules and suggestions for improving care methods. For example, the generation AI suggests that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced if the health of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also suggest appropriate care responses based on the behavioral patterns of the care recipient. Specifically, the generation AI automatically generates an optimal care schedule based on the health and behavioral data of the care recipient. For example, meal times, rehabilitation times, rest times, etc. are optimized to reduce the burden on the care recipient. In addition, the generation AI refers to the latest nursing care technologies and research results to suggest specific improvement measures for improving the care method. For example, if a specific rehabilitation method is not effective, another method is suggested. In addition, the generation AI predicts points of caution and risks in daily life based on the behavioral patterns of the care recipient and provides specific advice to the caregiver. As a result, the suggestion unit suggests specific care responses to keep the health of the care recipient in an optimal state, and high-quality care can be achieved while reducing the burden on the caregiver.
[0035] The conversion unit can convert the voice data into text data using the generation AI. The generation AI converts the voice data into text data using, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The generation AI can also convert the voice data into text data using voice recognition technology. For example, the generation AI takes voice data as input and outputs text data. The generation AI analyzes the content of the voice data and converts it into appropriate text data. As a result, the use of the generation AI improves the conversion accuracy of the voice data. The generation AI can also analyze, for example, the content of the voice data and correct grammar and expressions. The generation AI generates appropriate text data based on the content of the voice data. For example, the generation AI analyzes the content of the voice data and corrects grammar and standardizes expressions. As a result, the use of the generation AI improves the conversion accuracy of the voice data and can generate accurate text data.
[0036] The editorial department can use the generation AI to correct grammar or standardize expressions to create a well-organized document. The generation AI, for example, corrects grammar using a grammar check tool. The generation AI can also standardize expressions using natural language processing technology. For example, when correcting grammar, the generation AI uses a grammar check tool to detect and correct grammatical errors. In addition, when standardizing expressions, the generation AI uses natural language processing technology to standardize terms and apply style guides. As a result, the use of the generation AI improves the consistency and readability of the document. For example, when correcting grammar or standardizing expressions, the generation AI can also delete unnecessary information to create an easy-to-read document. When correcting grammar or standardizing expressions, the generation AI analyzes the contents of the document and makes appropriate corrections. As a result, the use of the generation AI improves the consistency and readability of the document, and a document that can be easily understood by other caregivers and medical staff can be generated.
[0037] The analysis unit can use the generation AI to perform a detailed analysis of changes in the physical condition or behavioral patterns of the care recipient based on data from the past nursing diary. The generation AI, for example, uses data mining technology to analyze data from the past nursing diary. The generation AI can also use statistical analysis to analyze changes in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient. For example, the generation AI analyzes changes in the physical condition of the care recipient based on data from the past nursing diary. When analyzing the behavioral patterns of the care recipient, the generation AI uses a machine learning algorithm to identify the behavioral patterns. This makes it possible to accurately grasp the situation of the care recipient and propose appropriate care responses by using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI analyzes changes in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient based on data from the past nursing diary and propose appropriate care responses. The generation AI uses data mining technology and statistical analysis when grasping the situation of the care recipient and proposing appropriate care responses. This makes it possible to accurately grasp the situation of the care recipient and propose appropriate care responses by using the generation AI.
[0038] The suggestion unit can suggest a care response to the care recipient using the generation AI. The generation AI, for example, suggests a care schedule. The generation AI can also suggest improvements to the care method. For example, the generation AI suggests that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced if the health of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also suggest an appropriate care response based on the behavioral patterns of the care recipient. As a result, by using the generation AI, it is possible to quickly suggest an appropriate care response. For example, the generation AI analyzes changes in the health of the care recipient and behavioral patterns, and suggests an appropriate care response. The generation AI uses data mining technology and statistical analysis when grasping the situation of the care recipient and proposing an appropriate care response. As a result, by using the generation AI, it is possible to quickly suggest an appropriate care response.
[0039] The suggestion unit can notify the caregiver of the care response proposed by the generation AI. The generation AI notifies the caregiver of the suggestion by using, for example, a smartphone notification. The generation AI can also notify the caregiver of the suggestion by using an email notification. For example, the generation AI notifies the caregiver that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced because the health of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also notify the caregiver of an appropriate care response based on the behavior pattern of the care recipient. In this way, by using the generation AI, it is possible to promptly notify the caregiver of an appropriate response. The generation AI notifies the caregiver of the suggestion by using, for example, a smartphone notification or an email notification. The generation AI notifies the caregiver of an appropriate care response based on the change in the health of the care recipient and the behavior pattern. In this way, by using the generation AI, it is possible to promptly notify the caregiver of an appropriate response.
[0040] The reception unit can analyze the past voice input history of the caregiver and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests a voice input method that the caregiver has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also select the optimal reception method for a specific time period from the past voice input history of the caregiver. For example, the reception unit analyzes the past voice input history of the caregiver and suggests the most efficient reception method. In this way, the optimal reception method can be provided by analyzing the past voice input 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 the past voice input history of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal reception method.
[0041] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the caregiver's current work situation and stress level when receiving the voice input. For example, when the caregiver is busy, the reception unit preferentially receives only important voice input. When the caregiver is relaxed, the reception unit can also receive all voice input and collect detailed information. For example, when the caregiver is stressed, the reception unit receives only simple voice input to reduce the burden. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on the caregiver by filtering the voice input according to the caregiver's work situation and stress level. 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 data on the caregiver's work situation and stress level to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute filtering.
[0042] When receiving a voice input, the reception unit can preferentially receive a highly relevant input in consideration of the geographical location information of the caregiver. For example, when the caregiver is in a specific facility, the reception unit preferentially receives a voice input related to the facility. When the caregiver is moving, the reception unit can also preferentially receive a voice input related to the destination. For example, when the caregiver is at home, the reception unit preferentially receives a voice input related to the home. In this way, by considering the geographical location information of the caregiver, highly relevant information can be preferentially processed. 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 geographical location information of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform preferential reception of highly relevant input.
[0043] The reception unit can analyze the social media activity of the caregiver and receive related inputs when receiving the voice input. The reception unit, for example, preferentially receives related voice inputs based on information shared by the caregiver on social media. The reception unit can also preferentially receive voice inputs related to current interests from the social media activity of the caregiver. For example, the reception unit analyzes the social media activity of the caregiver and preferentially receives voice inputs including important information. In this way, by analyzing the social media activity of the caregiver, highly relevant information can be preferentially processed. 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 social media activity data of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform preferential reception of related inputs.
[0044] The conversion unit can optimize the conversion algorithm by considering the speech pattern and accent of the caregiver when converting the voice data. For example, the conversion unit learns the speech pattern of the caregiver and applies an optimal conversion algorithm. The conversion unit can also apply an algorithm to prevent erroneous conversion by considering the caregiver's accent. For example, the conversion unit adjusts the conversion algorithm according to the speech rate of the caregiver. As a result, the conversion accuracy is improved by considering the speech pattern and accent of the caregiver. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the conversion unit can input data of the speech pattern and accent of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to optimize the conversion algorithm.
[0045] The conversion unit can improve conversion accuracy by referring to the caregiver's past speech history when converting voice data. For example, the conversion unit preferentially converts specific terms and phrases based on the caregiver's past speech history. The conversion unit can also learn frequently used words from the caregiver's past speech history to improve conversion accuracy. For example, the conversion unit analyzes the caregiver's past speech history and applies an algorithm to prevent erroneous conversion. As a result, the conversion accuracy is improved by referring to the past speech history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the conversion unit can input the caregiver's past speech history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the conversion accuracy.
[0046] The conversion unit can adjust the conversion algorithm in consideration of the geographical location information of the caregiver when converting the voice data. For example, when the caregiver is in a specific facility, the conversion unit preferentially converts terms related to the facility. When the caregiver is on the move, the conversion unit can also preferentially convert terms related to the destination. For example, when the caregiver is at home, the conversion unit preferentially converts terms related to the home. In this way, by considering the geographical location information of the caregiver, highly relevant information can be preferentially processed. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversion unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the conversion unit can input the geographical location information of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the conversion algorithm.
[0047] The conversion unit can analyze the social media activity of the caregiver and preferentially convert related utterances when converting the voice data. The conversion unit preferentially converts related utterances based on, for example, information shared by the caregiver on social media. The conversion unit can also preferentially convert utterances related to current interests from the social media activity of the caregiver. For example, the conversion unit analyzes the social media activity of the caregiver and preferentially converts utterances containing important information. In this way, by analyzing the social media activity of the caregiver, highly relevant information can be preferentially processed. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversion unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the conversion unit can input the social media activity data of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform preferential conversion of related utterances.
[0048] When editing a document, the editing unit can select an optimal editing method by referring to the caregiver's past editing history.

[0066] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0067] Step 1: The reception unit receives voice input from a caregiver. Voice input includes, for example, voice input using a microphone or voice input through a smartphone app. Step 2: The conversion unit converts the voice data received by the reception unit into text data using the generation AI. The generation AI converts the voice data into text data using, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a voice recognition technology. Step 3: The editorial department uses the generation AI to re-edit the text data converted by the conversion department.

[0068] (Example 2) The nursing care diary input system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that accepts voice input from a caregiver, converts the voice data into text data, and optimizes and re-edits the input document using a generation AI. This system accepts voice input from a caregiver, converts the voice data into text data. Next, the generation AI re-edits the text data to make it an easy-to-read document. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the information in the nursing care diary, grasps the situation of the care recipient, and proposes appropriate care responses. This series of processes reduces the time and improves the efficiency of nursing care work. For example, a caregiver inputs the contents of the nursing care diary by voice. For example, the content such as "This morning, the care recipient went for a walk. In the afternoon, he / she underwent rehabilitation" is input by voice. This voice data is converted into text data by the generation AI. Next, the generation AI re-edits the text data. For example, grammar is corrected and expressions are unified to make the document easy to read. This makes the contents of the nursing care diary consistent, making it easy for other caregivers and medical staff to understand. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the information in the nursing care diary. For example, the change in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient are analyzed based on the data of past nursing care diaries. This allows the system to grasp the condition of the person receiving care and propose appropriate care responses. Finally, the system notifies the caregiver of the care response proposed by the generation AI. For example, the system may make a specific suggestion such as, "The condition of the person receiving care is deteriorating, so the frequency of future rehabilitation sessions should be reduced." This allows the caregiver to take appropriate measures according to the condition of the person receiving care. This system reduces the time and efficiency of care work, and reduces the burden on the caregiver. In addition, by providing appropriate responses to the person receiving care, the quality of care is improved. This allows the care diary input system to efficiently process the voice input of the caregiver, optimize the care diary, and propose care responses.
[0069] The nursing diary input system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a conversion unit, an editing unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The reception unit receives voice input from a caregiver. The voice input includes, for example, voice input using a microphone, voice input through a smartphone app, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The conversion unit converts the voice data received by the reception unit into text data using a generation AI.

For example, the generation AI corrects grammar using a grammar check tool. The generation AI can also unify expressions using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the generation AI can delete unnecessary information to create an easy-to-read document. The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information of the nursing care diary re-edited by the editing unit. The analysis includes, for example, data mining technology, statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI analyzes changes in the physical condition and behavior patterns of the care recipient based on data of the past nursing care diary. The generation AI can also grasp the situation of the care recipient and propose appropriate nursing care responses. The suggestion unit uses the generation AI to propose nursing care responses based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestions include, for example, suggestions for nursing care schedules and suggestions for improving nursing care methods, but are not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI suggests that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced if the physical condition of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also propose appropriate nursing care responses based on the behavior patterns of the care recipient. As a result, the nursing care diary input system according to the embodiment can efficiently process the voice input of the caregiver, optimize the nursing care diary, and propose nursing care responses.
[0070] The reception unit receives voice input from the caregiver. Voice input includes, but is not limited to, voice input using a microphone and voice input through a smartphone app. Specifically, in order to allow the caregiver to easily record the diary by voice while performing daily care work, it is recommended that the reception unit use a device with a high-sensitivity microphone and a noise canceling function. When using a smartphone app, the app has a function of converting voice input into text in real time and provides an interface that makes it easy for the caregiver to check the input content. In addition, when performing voice input, it is important to prepare a wealth of training data to improve the accuracy of the voice recognition engine so that it can handle the speed and accent of the caregiver's speech. Furthermore, in order to minimize misrecognition that may occur during voice input, the reception unit can register specific keywords and phrases in advance and improve the accuracy of voice recognition. This allows the caregiver to perform voice input without stress, and the diary recording work becomes more efficient.
[0071] The conversion unit converts the voice data received by the reception unit into text data using the generation AI. The generation AI converts the voice data into text data, for example, using a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The conversion unit can also convert the voice data into text data using the generation AI. For example, the generation AI converts the voice data into text data using a voice recognition technology. Specifically, the generation AI uses a voice recognition model to analyze the voice data and convert the spoken content into text with high accuracy. The voice recognition model is trained in advance with a large amount of voice data and corresponding text data, and is optimized to handle the caregiver's speech patterns and technical terms. Furthermore, the generation AI improves the conversion accuracy by removing noise from the voice data and extracting a clear voice signal. The generation AI can also generate easy-to-read text data by understanding the context of the voice data and inserting appropriate punctuation and line breaks. This allows the conversion unit to quickly and accurately convert the caregiver's voice input into text data and provide data necessary for subsequent processing.
[0072] The editing department re-edits the text data converted by the conversion department using the generation AI. Re-editing includes, for example, grammar correction, unification of expressions, and deletion of unnecessary information, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI corrects grammar using a grammar check tool. The generation AI can also unify expressions using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the generation AI can also delete unnecessary information to create a document that is easy to read. Specifically, the generation AI automatically detects grammatical errors in the text data and makes appropriate corrections. For example, it checks and corrects the agreement of subject and predicate, the agreement of tense, and the appropriate placement of punctuation marks. In addition, the generation AI unifies different expressions that have the same meaning and maintains consistency throughout the document. For example, the expressions "provide meals" and "serve meals" are unified to "provide meals". Furthermore, the generation AI deletes redundant expressions and unnecessary information to create a concise and easy-to-read document. For example, the sentence "The weather was nice today, so I went for a walk" is simplified to "I went for a walk". This enables the editorial department to turn the converted text data into a high-quality nursing care diary.
[0073] The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information in the nursing diary re-edited by the editing unit. Examples of the analysis include, but are not limited to, data mining technology, statistical analysis, and machine learning algorithms. For example, the generation AI analyzes the changes in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient based on the data in the past nursing diary. The generation AI can also grasp the situation of the care recipient and propose appropriate nursing care responses. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the data in the nursing diary in chronological order to extract trends in the changes in the physical condition and behavioral patterns of the care recipient. For example, it analyzes data such as food intake, sleep time, and exercise amount to predict changes in physical condition. The generation AI can also use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect patterns that are different from the norm at an early stage and issue a warning to the caregiver. Furthermore, the generation AI derives the optimal nursing care method by comparing it with past data in order to propose nursing care responses according to the individual situation of the care recipient. For example, if the physical condition of the care recipient tends to deteriorate during a specific time period, it is suggested that special care be provided during that time period. This enables the analysis unit to perform advanced analysis of the data in the care diary, grasp the health condition of the person being cared for in real time, and support appropriate care responses.
[0074] The suggestion unit uses the generation AI to suggest care responses based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestions include, but are not limited to, suggestions for care schedules and suggestions for improving care methods. For example, the generation AI suggests that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced if the health of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also suggest appropriate care responses based on the behavioral patterns of the care recipient. Specifically, the generation AI automatically generates an optimal care schedule based on the health and behavioral data of the care recipient. For example, meal times, rehabilitation times, rest times, etc. are optimized to reduce the burden on the care recipient. In addition, the generation AI refers to the latest nursing care technologies and research results to suggest specific improvement measures for improving the care method. For example, if a specific rehabilitation method is not effective, another method is suggested. In addition, the generation AI predicts points of caution and risks in daily life based on the behavioral patterns of the care recipient and provides specific advice to the caregiver. As a result, the suggestion unit suggests specific care responses to keep the health of the care recipient in an optimal state, and high-quality care can be achieved while reducing the burden on the caregiver.

[0079] The suggestion unit can notify the caregiver of the care response proposed by the generation AI. The generation AI notifies the caregiver of the suggestion by using, for example, a smartphone notification. The generation AI can also notify the caregiver of the suggestion by using an email notification. For example, the generation AI notifies the caregiver that the frequency of rehabilitation should be reduced because the health of the care recipient is deteriorating. The generation AI can also notify the caregiver of an appropriate care response based on the behavior pattern of the care recipient. In this way, by using the generation AI, it is possible to promptly notify the caregiver of an appropriate response. The generation AI notifies the caregiver of the suggestion by using, for example, a smartphone notification or an email notification. The generation AI notifies the caregiver of an appropriate care response based on the change in the health of the care recipient and the behavior pattern. In this way, by using the generation AI, it is possible to promptly notify the caregiver of an appropriate response.
[0080] The reception unit can estimate the caregiver's emotion and optimize the timing of voice input reception based on the estimated emotion of the caregiver. For example, when the caregiver is stressed, the reception unit delays the timing of voice input reception to provide time for the caregiver to relax. When the caregiver is relaxed, the reception unit can also immediately accept the voice input and promote smooth input. For example, when the caregiver is in a hurry, the reception unit advances the timing of voice input reception to allow the caregiver to input information quickly. This allows the burden on the caregiver to be reduced by adjusting the timing of voice input reception according to the emotion of the caregiver. 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 the emotion data of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute emotion estimation.
[0081] The reception unit can analyze the past voice input history of the caregiver and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests a voice input method that the caregiver has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also select the optimal reception method for a specific time period from the past voice input history of the caregiver. For example, the reception unit analyzes the past voice input history of the caregiver and suggests the most efficient reception method. In this way, the optimal reception method can be provided by analyzing the past voice input 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 the past voice input history of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal reception method.
[0082] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the caregiver's current work situation and stress level when receiving the voice input. For example, when the caregiver is busy, the reception unit preferentially receives only important voice input. When the caregiver is relaxed, the reception unit can also receive all voice input and collect detailed information. For example, when the caregiver is stressed, the reception unit receives only simple voice input to reduce the burden. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on the caregiver by filtering the voice input according to the caregiver's work situation and stress level. 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 data on the caregiver's work situation and stress level to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute filtering.
[0083] The reception unit can estimate the caregiver's emotion and optimize the priority of the voice input to be received based on the estimated emotion of the caregiver. For example, when the caregiver is stressed, the reception unit preferentially receives important voice input. When the caregiver is relaxed, the reception unit can also receive all voice inputs equally. For example, when the caregiver is in a hurry, the reception unit preferentially receives voice inputs with high urgency. In this way, important information can be preferentially processed by determining the priority of the voice inputs according to the emotion of the caregiver. 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.

For example, the reception unit can input the emotion data of the caregiver to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute optimization of the priority of the voice inputs.
[0084] When receiving a voice input, the reception unit can preferentially receive a highly relevant input in consideration of the geographical location information of the caregiver. For example, when the caregiver is in a specific facility, the reception unit preferentially receives a voice input related to the facility. When the caregiver is moving, the reception unit can also preferentially receive a voice input related to the destination. For example, when the caregiver is at home, the reception unit preferentially receives a voice input related to the home. In this way, by considering the geographical location information of the caregiver, highly relevant information can be preferentially processed. 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.

[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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).
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
