[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.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The medical treatment process efficiency system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system in which the contents of conversations during consultations are recorded, a generation AI summarizes the conversations to create a medical record, automatically determines points, creates a medical statement, and creates a prescription for medicine. This system records all conversations between doctors and patients during consultations, and a generation AI summarizes the conversations to create a medical record. Furthermore, for each summarized medical procedure, the system automatically determines points from the official price and creates a medical statement. In addition, symptoms are inferred from the summary, a medicine appropriate for the symptoms is selected, and a prescription for medicine is created. For example, all conversations between doctors and patients during consultations are recorded. For example, conversations in which the doctor asks the patient about symptoms and conversations in which the doctor explains the results of the examination are included. This conversation is input to the generation AI. Next, the generation AI summarizes the input conversation. The generation AI analyzes the conversation, extracts important information, and creates a medical record. For example, the patient's symptoms, examination results, and doctor's diagnosis are summarized. Furthermore, for each summarized medical procedure, the system automatically determines points from the official price. Based on the summarized medical procedure, the generation AI determines the corresponding points from the official price list and creates a medical statement. For example, consultation fees, examination fees, and treatment fees are scored. Symptoms are also inferred from the summary, and the appropriate medicine is selected. The generation AI selects the appropriate medicine based on the summarized symptoms and writes a prescription. For example, for cold symptoms, antipyretics and cough suppressants are selected. This allows doctors to concentrate on the examination, and frees medical administration from the task of calculating points and creating medical statements. It also reduces the time patients have to wait to pay. For example, after the examination is over, the medical statement and prescription are issued immediately, allowing patients to pay smoothly. In this way, the medical process efficiency system can reduce the burden on doctors, medical administration, and patients.
[0029] The medical treatment process efficiency improvement system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, a discrimination unit, and a prescription unit. The reception unit records the contents of the conversation during the examination. The contents of the conversation during the examination include, for example, the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and a treatment plan, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit records the contents of the conversation using, for example, audio recording technology. The reception unit can also record the contents of the conversation as video using video recording technology. For example, the reception unit records the contents of the conversation with high quality using a microphone and a camera installed in the examination room. The generation unit uses a generation AI to summarize the contents of the conversation recorded by the reception unit and create a medical record. The generation AI analyzes the contents of the conversation using, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM), extracts important information, and summarizes it. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick out particularly important information from the contents of the conversation and create a medical record based on that. For example, the generation AI analyzes the contents of the conversation, summarizes the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment plan, and the like, and writes them in the medical record. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points for each medical procedure summarized by the generation unit, and creates a medical statement. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points corresponding to the summarized medical procedure based on, for example, a medical fee table. The discrimination unit can also use a generation AI to analyze the contents of the summarized medical procedure and determine the corresponding points. For example, the discrimination unit automatically calculates points such as consultation fees, examination fees, and treatment fees, and lists them on the medical bill. The prescription unit creates a prescription for medicine based on the symptoms summarized by the generation unit. The prescription unit can analyze the summarized symptoms and select an appropriate medicine using, for example, a generation AI. The prescription unit can also use a generation AI to select the most appropriate medicine from multiple medicines based on the patient's symptoms and create a prescription. For example, the prescription unit selects an antipyretic or cough medicine for cold symptoms and lists it on the prescription. As a result, the medical treatment process efficiency system according to the embodiment can reduce the burden on doctors, medical office staff, and patients.
[0030] The reception unit records the contents of the conversation during the examination. The contents of the conversation during the examination include, for example, the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and the treatment policy, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit records the contents of the conversation using, for example, voice recording technology. Specifically, the conversation between the patient and the doctor is clearly recorded using a high-sensitivity microphone installed in the examination room. This makes it possible to record important information during the examination without omission. The reception unit can also record the contents of the conversation as video using video recording technology. For example, a high-resolution camera installed on the ceiling or wall of the examination room is used to record the state of the examination as video. This makes it possible to record not only the voice but also visual information such as the doctor's gestures and the patient's facial expressions. Furthermore, the reception unit can transmit these recorded data to a cloud server in real time and safely store them. This makes it possible to easily access the data after the examination and recheck it as necessary. The reception unit can also convert the recorded voice data into text data by using voice recognition technology in combination, thereby making subsequent processing more efficient. For example, the contents of the conversation can be automatically transcribed using a voice recognition engine, making it possible to smoothly process the generation unit and the discrimination unit. This allows the reception department to record the content of conversations during consultations from various angles and with high quality, thereby contributing to improving the efficiency of the entire system.
[0031] The generation unit uses the generation AI to summarize the conversation content recorded by the reception unit and create a medical record. The generation AI, for example, uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the conversation content, extract important information, and summarize it. Specifically, the generation AI uses natural language processing technology to extract important information such as the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and the treatment plan from the conversation content. For example, the generation AI can understand the context of the conversation and automatically identify the symptoms complained by the patient and the diagnosis results shown by the doctor. Furthermore, the generation AI automatically generates a concise and clear medical record based on the extracted information. The medical record includes basic information about the patient, details of the symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment plans, and information about prescribed drugs. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick out particularly important information from the conversation content and create a medical record based on that. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content and summarizes the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment plans, etc., and writes them in the medical record. The generation AI can understand medical terms and specialized knowledge and create a medical record in appropriate expressions. This allows the generator to reduce the burden on doctors and significantly improve the efficiency of creating medical records. Furthermore, the generator can automatically store the generated medical records in the electronic medical record system, making them easily accessible to other medical staff. This improves the efficiency of the entire medical treatment process and contributes to improving the quality of medical care.
[0032] The discrimination unit automatically determines the points for each medical procedure summarized by the generation unit and creates a medical statement. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points corresponding to the summarized medical procedure based on, for example, the medical fee schedule. Specifically, the discrimination unit can use the generation AI to analyze the contents of the summarized medical procedure and determine the corresponding points. For example, the generation AI analyzes information such as consultation fees, examination fees, and treatment fees written in the medical record and automatically calculates the points corresponding to each medical procedure. Furthermore, the discrimination unit can always refer to the latest information on the medical fee schedule and determine accurate points. This allows the medical statement to be created quickly and accurately. This allows the discrimination unit to streamline the creation of the medical statement and reduce the burden on medical administration. Furthermore, the discrimination unit can automatically save the contents of the medical statement in the electronic medical record system so that other medical staff can easily access it. This can improve the efficiency of the entire medical process and contribute to improving the quality of medical care.
[0033] The prescription department creates a prescription for medicine based on the symptoms summarized by the generation department. The prescription department, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze the summarized symptoms and select an appropriate medicine. Specifically, the generation AI uses an algorithm to select the most effective and safe medicine based on the patient's symptoms and diagnosis results. For example, the generation AI considers the patient's age, sex, medical history, allergy information, etc. and selects the most effective and safe medicine. In addition, the generation AI can refer to the latest medical database and make the optimal prescription based on information such as the effects, side effects, and interactions of the medicine. Furthermore, the prescription department can use the generation AI to select the most appropriate medicine from multiple medicines based on the patient's symptoms and create a prescription. For example, the prescription department selects an antipyretic or cough suppressant for cold symptoms and writes it on the prescription. Furthermore, the prescription department can automatically save the generated prescription in the electronic medical record system so that other medical staff can easily access it. This can improve the efficiency of the entire medical treatment process and contribute to improving the quality of medical care.
[0034] The reception unit can record all conversations between the doctor and the patient during the consultation. The reception unit, for example, records the conversations during the consultation using audio recording technology. For example, the reception unit records the conversations in high quality using a microphone installed in the examination room. The reception unit can also record the conversations as video using video recording technology. For example, the reception unit records the conversations as video using a camera installed in the examination room. This allows detailed medical records to be created by recording all conversations during the consultation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the conversations during the consultation into AI and have the AI execute the recording of the conversations.
[0035] The generation unit can summarize the recorded conversation content to create a medical record. The generation unit summarizes the recorded conversation content, for example, using a generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the conversation content, for example, using a text generation AI (for example, LLM), extracts important information, and summarizes it. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick out particularly important information from the conversation content and create a medical record based on it. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content, summarizes the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment policy, etc., and writes them in the medical record. As a result, the medical treatment content can be efficiently organized by summarizing the recorded conversation content to create a medical record. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the generation unit can input the recorded conversation content into an AI and have the AI execute the creation of a medical record.
[0036] The discrimination unit can automatically determine the points for each summarized medical procedure based on the official price and create a medical statement. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points corresponding to the summarized medical procedure based on, for example, a medical fee table. For example, the discrimination unit automatically calculates points for consultation fees, examination fees, treatment fees, etc., and lists them on the medical statement. The discrimination unit can also use a generation AI to analyze the contents of the summarized medical procedure and determine the corresponding points. For example, the discrimination unit uses a generation AI to analyze the contents of the summarized medical procedure and determine the corresponding points from the medical fee table. As a result, the points are automatically determined for each summarized medical procedure and a medical statement is created, thereby making the calculation of medical fees more efficient. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the discrimination unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the discrimination unit can input the contents of the summarized medical procedure into AI and have the AI execute the point determination.
[0037] The prescription unit can create a prescription for medicine based on the summarized symptoms. The prescription unit can use, for example, a generation AI to analyze the summarized symptoms and select an appropriate medicine. For example, the prescription unit can use the generation AI to select an optimal medicine from multiple medicines based on the patient's symptoms and create a prescription. For example, the prescription unit selects an antipyretic or cough suppressant for cold symptoms and writes it on the prescription. This makes it possible to prescribe an appropriate medicine by creating a prescription for medicine based on the summarized symptoms. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the prescription unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the prescription unit can input the summarized symptoms into AI and have the AI select the medicine and create the prescription.
[0038] The reception unit can analyze the contents of the conversation during the medical examination in real time and record the contents with important keywords emphasized. The reception unit uses AI, for example, to analyze the contents of the conversation during the medical examination in real time. For example, the reception unit analyzes the contents of the conversation in real time and extracts keywords related to symptoms. The reception unit can also analyze information necessary for diagnosis in real time and record important parts with emphasis. For example, the reception unit refers to the patient's past medical history and records related keywords with emphasis. As a result, by highlighting and recording important keywords, it becomes easier to understand the contents of the medical examination. 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 contents of the conversation during the medical examination into AI and have the AI extract and emphasize important keywords.
[0039] The reception unit can record the contents of the conversation during the examination not only by voice but also by video, and can record non-verbal information as well. For example, the reception unit records the contents of the conversation during the examination using voice recording technology and video recording technology. For example, the reception unit uses a microphone and a camera installed in the examination room to record the contents of the conversation in high quality. The reception unit also uses video recording technology to record non-verbal information as well. For example, the reception unit records the patient's facial expressions and gestures on video and analyzes the non-verbal information. As a result, by recording non-verbal information as well, a more detailed medical record can be created. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the contents of the conversation during the examination and non-verbal information into AI, and have AI perform recording and analysis.
[0040] The reception unit can record the contents of the conversation during the examination in multiple languages, so that it can also accommodate patients who speak different languages. The reception unit, for example, uses AI to record the contents of the conversation during the examination in multiple languages. For example, the reception unit translates the contents of the conversation in real time and records them in multiple languages. The reception unit can also automatically translate and record the contents of the examination based on the language setting of the patient. For example, the reception unit automatically translates and records the contents of the examination based on the language setting of the patient. This makes it possible to accommodate patients who speak different languages by recording in multiple languages. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the contents of the conversation during the examination into AI and have the AI execute recording in multiple languages.
[0041] When recording the contents of the conversation during the examination, the reception unit can refer to the patient's past medical history and preferentially record highly relevant information. For example, when recording the contents of the conversation during the examination, the reception unit uses AI to refer to the patient's past medical history. For example, the reception unit refers to the patient's past medical history and preferentially records related information. The reception unit can also compare the past medical history with the current contents of the examination and record important information with emphasis. For example, the reception unit automatically classifies and records the contents of the examination based on the patient's past medical history. As a result, highly relevant information can be preferentially recorded by referring to the past medical history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the contents of the conversation during the examination to AI and cause AI to refer to the past medical history and preferentially record the information.
[0042] The generation unit can analyze the recorded conversation content, automatically extract information necessary for diagnosis, and reflect it in the medical record. The generation unit can, for example, use a generation AI to analyze the recorded conversation content, and automatically extract information necessary for diagnosis. The generation AI can, for example, use a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the conversation content and extract important information. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick up particularly important information from the conversation content and create a medical record based on it. For example, the generation AI can analyze the conversation content, extract the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment policy, etc., and write them in the medical record. This makes it easier to understand the medical treatment content by automatically extracting information necessary for diagnosis and reflecting it in the medical record. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit can be performed, for example, using AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input the recorded conversation content into AI, and cause the AI to extract information necessary for diagnosis and reflect it in the medical record.
[0043] The generation unit can analyze the recorded conversation content and integrate the opinions of multiple doctors to improve the reliability of the diagnosis. The generation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze the recorded conversation content and integrate the opinions of multiple doctors. The generation AI, for example, uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the conversation content and integrate the diagnosis results of multiple doctors. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to analyze information necessary for diagnosis and integrate the opinions of multiple doctors to improve reliability. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content and integrates the diagnosis results of multiple doctors to reflect them in the medical record. As a result, the reliability of the diagnosis is improved by integrating the opinions of multiple doctors. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the generation unit can input the recorded conversation content to the AI and cause the AI to execute the integration of the opinions of multiple doctors.
[0044] The generation unit can analyze the recorded conversation content, automatically classify the information necessary for diagnosis, and reflect it in the medical record.

[0061] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0062] Step 1: The reception department records the contents of the conversation during the consultation. The contents of the conversation during the consultation may include, for example, the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and treatment plans. The reception department records the contents of the conversation as audio or video using audio recording technology or video recording technology. For example, the contents of the conversation are recorded in high quality using a microphone and a camera installed in the examination room. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to summarize the conversation recorded by the reception unit and create a medical record. The generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze the conversation, extract important information, and summarize it. For example, the patient's symptoms, diagnosis, treatment plan, etc. are summarized and recorded in the medical record. Step 3: The discrimination unit automatically determines the points for each medical procedure summarized by the generation unit and creates a medical statement. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points corresponding to the summarized medical procedures based on the medical fee schedule. For example, it automatically calculates points for consultation fees, examination fees, treatment fees, etc., and lists them on the medical statement. Step 4: The prescribing unit creates a prescription for medicine based on the symptoms summarized by the generating unit. The prescribing unit uses the generating AI to analyze the summarized symptoms and select the appropriate medicine. For example, it selects an antipyretic or cough suppressant for cold symptoms and writes it on the prescription.
[0063] (Example 2) The medical treatment process efficiency system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system in which the contents of conversations during consultations are recorded, a generation AI summarizes the conversations to create a medical record, automatically determines points, creates a medical statement, and creates a prescription for medicine. This system records all conversations between doctors and patients during consultations, and a generation AI summarizes the conversations to create a medical record. Furthermore, for each summarized medical procedure, the system automatically determines points from the official price and creates a medical statement. In addition, symptoms are inferred from the summary, a medicine appropriate for the symptoms is selected, and a prescription for medicine is created. For example, all conversations between doctors and patients during consultations are recorded. For example, conversations in which the doctor asks the patient about symptoms and conversations in which the doctor explains the results of the examination are included. This conversation is input to the generation AI. Next, the generation AI summarizes the input conversation. The generation AI analyzes the conversation, extracts important information, and creates a medical record. For example, the patient's symptoms, examination results, and doctor's diagnosis are summarized. Furthermore, for each summarized medical procedure, the system automatically determines points from the official price. Based on the summarized medical procedure, the generation AI determines the corresponding points from the official price list and creates a medical statement. For example, consultation fees, examination fees, and treatment fees are scored. Symptoms are also inferred from the summary, and the appropriate medicine is selected. The generation AI selects the appropriate medicine based on the summarized symptoms and writes a prescription. For example, for cold symptoms, antipyretics and cough suppressants are selected. This allows doctors to concentrate on the examination, and frees medical administration from the task of calculating points and creating medical statements. It also reduces the time patients have to wait to pay. For example, after the examination is over, the medical statement and prescription are issued immediately, allowing patients to pay smoothly. In this way, the medical process efficiency system can reduce the burden on doctors, medical administration, and patients.
[0064] The medical treatment process efficiency improvement system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, a discrimination unit, and a prescription unit. The reception unit records the contents of the conversation during the examination. The contents of the conversation during the examination include, for example, the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and a treatment plan, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit records the contents of the conversation using, for example, audio recording technology. The reception unit can also record the contents of the conversation as video using video recording technology. For example, the reception unit records the contents of the conversation with high quality using a microphone and a camera installed in the examination room. The generation unit uses a generation AI to summarize the contents of the conversation recorded by the reception unit and create a medical record. The generation AI analyzes the contents of the conversation using, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM), extracts important information, and summarizes it. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick out particularly important information from the contents of the conversation and create a medical record based on that. For example, the generation AI analyzes the contents of the conversation, summarizes the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment plan, and the like, and writes them in the medical record. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points for each medical procedure summarized by the generation unit, and creates a medical statement. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points corresponding to the summarized medical procedure based on, for example, a medical fee table. The discrimination unit can also use a generation AI to analyze the contents of the summarized medical procedure and determine the corresponding points. For example, the discrimination unit automatically calculates points such as consultation fees, examination fees, and treatment fees, and lists them on the medical bill. The prescription unit creates a prescription for medicine based on the symptoms summarized by the generation unit. The prescription unit can analyze the summarized symptoms and select an appropriate medicine using, for example, a generation AI. The prescription unit can also use a generation AI to select the most appropriate medicine from multiple medicines based on the patient's symptoms and create a prescription. For example, the prescription unit selects an antipyretic or cough medicine for cold symptoms and lists it on the prescription. As a result, the medical treatment process efficiency system according to the embodiment can reduce the burden on doctors, medical office staff, and patients.
[0065] The reception unit records the contents of the conversation during the examination. The contents of the conversation during the examination include, for example, the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and the treatment policy, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit records the contents of the conversation using, for example, voice recording technology. Specifically, the conversation between the patient and the doctor is clearly recorded using a high-sensitivity microphone installed in the examination room. This makes it possible to record important information during the examination without omission. The reception unit can also record the contents of the conversation as video using video recording technology. For example, a high-resolution camera installed on the ceiling or wall of the examination room is used to record the state of the examination as video. This makes it possible to record not only the voice but also visual information such as the doctor's gestures and the patient's facial expressions. Furthermore, the reception unit can transmit these recorded data to a cloud server in real time and safely store them. This makes it possible to easily access the data after the examination and recheck it as necessary. The reception unit can also convert the recorded voice data into text data by using voice recognition technology in combination, thereby making subsequent processing more efficient. For example, the contents of the conversation can be automatically transcribed using a voice recognition engine, making it possible to smoothly process the generation unit and the discrimination unit. This allows the reception department to record the content of conversations during consultations in a high-quality and multifaceted manner, contributing to improved efficiency of the entire system.
[0066] The generation unit uses the generation AI to summarize the conversation content recorded by the reception unit and create a medical record. The generation AI, for example, uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the conversation content, extract important information, and summarize it. Specifically, the generation AI uses natural language processing technology to extract important information such as the patient's symptoms, the doctor's diagnosis, and the treatment plan from the conversation content. For example, the generation AI can understand the context of the conversation and automatically identify the symptoms complained by the patient and the diagnosis results shown by the doctor. Furthermore, the generation AI automatically generates a concise and clear medical record based on the extracted information. The medical record includes basic information about the patient, details of the symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment plans, and information about prescribed drugs. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick out particularly important information from the conversation content and create a medical record based on that. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content and summarizes the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment plans, etc., and writes them in the medical record.

This improves the efficiency of the entire medical treatment process and contributes to improving the quality of medical care.
[0067] The discrimination unit automatically determines the points for each medical procedure summarized by the generation unit and creates a medical statement. The discrimination unit automatically determines the points corresponding to the summarized medical procedure based on, for example, the medical fee schedule. Specifically, the discrimination unit can use the generation AI to analyze the contents of the summarized medical procedure and determine the corresponding points. For example, the generation AI analyzes information such as consultation fees, examination fees, and treatment fees written in the medical record and automatically calculates the points corresponding to each medical procedure. Furthermore, the discrimination unit can always refer to the latest information on the medical fee schedule and determine accurate points. This allows the medical statement to be created quickly and accurately. This allows the discrimination unit to streamline the creation of the medical statement and reduce the burden on medical administration. Furthermore, the discrimination unit can automatically save the contents of the medical statement in the electronic medical record system so that other medical staff can easily access it. This can improve the efficiency of the entire medical process and contribute to improving the quality of medical care.
[0068] The prescription department creates a prescription for medicine based on the symptoms summarized by the generation department. The prescription department, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze the summarized symptoms and select an appropriate medicine. Specifically, the generation AI uses an algorithm to select the most effective and safe medicine based on the patient's symptoms and diagnosis results. For example, the generation AI considers the patient's age, sex, medical history, allergy information, etc. and selects the most effective and safe medicine. In addition, the generation AI can refer to the latest medical database and make the optimal prescription based on information such as the effects, side effects, and interactions of the medicine. Furthermore, the prescription department can use the generation AI to select the most appropriate medicine from multiple medicines based on the patient's symptoms and create a prescription. For example, the prescription department selects an antipyretic or cough suppressant for cold symptoms and writes it on the prescription. Furthermore, the prescription department can automatically save the generated prescription in the electronic medical record system so that other medical staff can easily access it. This can improve the efficiency of the entire medical treatment process and contribute to improving the quality of medical care.
[0069] The reception unit can record all conversations between the doctor and the patient during the consultation.

The reception unit can also record the conversations as video using video recording technology. For example, the reception unit records the conversations as video using a camera installed in the examination room. This allows detailed medical records to be created by recording all conversations during the consultation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the conversations during the consultation into AI and have the AI execute the recording of the conversations.
[0070] The generation unit can summarize the recorded conversation content to create a medical record. The generation unit summarizes the recorded conversation content, for example, using a generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the conversation content, for example, using a text generation AI (for example, LLM), extracts important information, and summarizes it. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to pick out particularly important information from the conversation content and create a medical record based on it. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content, summarizes the patient's symptoms, diagnosis results, treatment policy, etc., and writes them in the medical record. As a result, the medical treatment content can be efficiently organized by summarizing the recorded conversation content to create a medical record.

For example, the prescription unit selects an antipyretic or cough suppressant for cold symptoms and writes it on the prescription. This makes it possible to prescribe an appropriate medicine by creating a prescription for medicine based on the summarized symptoms. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the prescription unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the prescription unit can input the summarized symptoms into AI and have the AI select the medicine and create the prescription.
[0073] The reception unit can estimate the patient's emotions and adjust the method of recording the conversation content based on the estimated patient's emotions. The reception unit, for example, uses facial expression recognition technology to estimate the patient's emotions. For example, the reception unit analyzes the patient's facial expressions captured by a camera to estimate the emotions. The reception unit can also use voice analysis technology to analyze the tone and speed of the patient's voice and estimate the emotions. For example, the reception unit analyzes the tone and speed of the patient's voice to estimate the emotions. Furthermore, the reception unit adjusts the method of recording the conversation content based on the estimated patient's emotions. For example, if the patient is nervous, the reception unit analyzes the tone of the conversation and adds questions to relax the patient. Also, if the patient is relaxed, the reception unit can add questions to elicit detailed information. Furthermore, if the patient is in a hurry, the reception unit adjusts to record important information preferentially. As a result, a more appropriate medical record can be created by adjusting the method of recording the conversation content based on the patient's emotions. The estimation of emotions is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some 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 uses a microphone and a camera installed in the examination room to record the contents of the conversation in high quality. The reception unit also uses video recording technology to record non-verbal information as well. For example, the reception unit records the patient's facial expressions and gestures on video and analyzes the non-verbal information. As a result, by recording non-verbal information as well, a more detailed medical record can be created. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the contents of the conversation during the examination and non-verbal information into AI, and have AI perform recording and analysis.
[0076] The reception unit can estimate the patient's emotions and determine the priority of conversations to be recorded based on the estimated patient's emotions.

For example, the reception unit analyzes the patient's facial expressions captured by a camera to estimate the emotions. The reception unit can also use voice analysis technology to analyze the tone and speed of the patient's voice to estimate the emotions. For example, the reception unit analyzes the tone and speed of the patient's voice to estimate the emotions. Furthermore, the reception unit determines the priority of conversations to be recorded based on the estimated patient's emotions. For example, if the patient feels anxious, the reception unit preferentially records conversations to reassure the patient. Also, if the patient is relaxed, the reception unit can preferentially record conversations regarding detailed symptoms. Furthermore, if the patient is in a hurry, the reception unit preferentially records important diagnostic information. As a result, important information can be preferentially recorded by determining the priority of conversations based on the patient's emotions. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some 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.

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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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).
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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."
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
