[0028] (Example 1) A mobile app according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses cutting-edge AI technology to analyze a driver's driving habits and streamline car maintenance. The system incorporates gamification elements to provide intelligent advice for making driving more enjoyable and extending the life of a car. This allows the mobile app to improve a driver's driving habits and streamline car maintenance. For example, reducing sudden braking and acceleration can improve fuel efficiency, and performing regular maintenance can extend the life of a car. Furthermore, the gamification elements make driving more enjoyable and increase the driver's motivation.

[0029] A mobile app according to an embodiment includes a driving data acquisition unit, a driving habit analysis unit, a maintenance suggestion unit, and an advice provision unit. The driving data acquisition unit acquires driving data of a driver. For example, the driving data acquisition unit collects data such as speed, braking frequency, and acceleration patterns. The driving data acquisition unit can also acquire driving data using in-vehicle sensors or a smartphone's GPS function. The driving habit analysis unit analyzes the driving data acquired by the driving data acquisition unit to evaluate driving habits. For example, the generation AI analyzes the frequency of sudden braking and sudden acceleration and suggests driving improvements. The generation AI also detects speeding and unnecessary idling to improve driving efficiency. The maintenance suggestion unit proposes an optimal maintenance schedule based on the driving habits evaluated by the driving habit analysis unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the vehicle's mileage and usage status to predict when oil and tire changes are required. The generation AI also performs a detailed analysis of the deterioration status of each vehicle part and suggests the optimal timing for part replacement. The advice provision unit provides intelligent advice based on the maintenance schedule proposed by the maintenance suggestion unit. For example, the generating AI suggests driving methods to improve fuel efficiency and maintenance methods to extend the life of the car. The generating AI also provides specific advice to the driver based on driving habits and maintenance data. This allows the mobile app according to the embodiment to improve the driver's driving habits and streamline car maintenance. For example, the output unit displays driving data and advice within the app to provide feedback to the driver. A notification function can also be used to notify the driver when maintenance is due. Furthermore, the app stores driving data in the cloud, making it accessible from other devices.

[0030] The driving data acquisition unit can monitor the driver's heart rate and stress level in real time while driving and acquire driving data. For example, the driving data acquisition unit collects the driver's heart rate data in real time, and the generation AI analyzes the data to estimate the stress level. For example, if the heart rate rises sharply, it is determined that stress is increasing and suggests driving methods to help the driver relax. The driving data acquisition unit can also collect the driver's electrodermal activity using a sensor to measure the stress level. For example, it can analyze changes in electrodermal activity to evaluate the stress level. The driving data acquisition unit can also monitor the driver's breathing pattern to estimate the stress level. For example, if breathing becomes shallow and rapid, it is determined that stress is increasing. This makes it possible to suggest improvements to driving habits by monitoring the driver's heart rate and stress level while driving.

[0031] The driving habit analysis unit can provide driving advice optimized for individual driving styles based on driving data. The driving habit analysis unit, for example, analyzes the driver's driving data (speed, frequency of braking, acceleration patterns, etc.) to identify individual driving styles. For example, for a driver who frequently accelerates suddenly, the unit can suggest smooth acceleration methods. The driving habit analysis unit can also suggest fuel-efficient driving methods to encourage eco-driving. For example, it can recommend maintaining a constant speed and avoiding unnecessary idling. The driving habit analysis unit can also suggest safe and efficient driving methods for drivers who prefer sporty driving. For example, it can advise on appropriate braking on curves and the timing of acceleration. This allows the quality of driving to be improved by providing driving advice optimized for individual driving styles.

[0032] The driving data acquisition unit can analyze in-car voice data and evaluate the impact of conversations and music while driving. For example, the driving data acquisition unit collects in-car voice data, and the generation AI analyzes that data to evaluate the impact of conversations and music while driving. For example, if there is a lot of conversation, it can point out the possibility of a decrease in concentration and advise the driver to concentrate on driving. The driving data acquisition unit can also analyze the genre and tempo of music to evaluate the impact of music. For example, it can evaluate the impact of fast-tempo music on driving and recommend relaxing music. The driving data acquisition unit can also monitor the noise level inside the car and evaluate the impact on driving. For example, it can point out the possibility of a decrease in concentration if the noise level is high. This allows the system to analyze in-car voice data and evaluate the impact of conversations and music while driving, thereby suggesting areas for improvement in driving habits.

[0033] The driving habit analysis unit can add a function for sharing the analysis results of driving habits with other drivers and receiving feedback within the community. For example, the driving habit analysis unit can add a function for sharing the analysis results of driving habits within the app and receiving feedback from other drivers. For example, driving scores and areas for improvement can be shared and advice can be received from other drivers. The driving habit analysis unit can also provide a ranking function within the community to promote competition between drivers. For example, driving scores can be displayed in a ranking format and top drivers can be rewarded. The driving habit analysis unit can also provide a chat function within the community to promote information exchange between drivers. For example, driving tips and maintenance information can be shared. This allows drivers to share the analysis results of driving habits with other drivers and receive feedback, thereby promoting the improvement of driving habits.

[0034] The maintenance proposal unit can analyze the deterioration status of each car part in detail and propose the optimal timing for part replacement. For example, the maintenance proposal unit monitors the deterioration status of each car part in real time, and the generation AI analyzes the data to propose the optimal timing for part replacement. For example, it analyzes the wear status of tires and notifies the user when it is time to replace them. The maintenance proposal unit can also analyze the deterioration status of engine oil and propose the timing for replacement. For example, it can analyze the viscosity and dirtiness of the oil and notify the user when it is time to replace it. The maintenance proposal unit can also analyze the wear status of brake pads and propose the timing for replacement. For example, it can monitor the thickness of the brake pads and notify the user when it is time to replace them. This allows for the efficient analysis of the deterioration status of each car part and the proposal of the optimal timing for part replacement.

[0035] The maintenance suggestion unit can predict future breakdown risks based on the vehicle's maintenance data and suggest preventive maintenance. The maintenance suggestion unit, for example, analyzes the vehicle's maintenance data and predicts future breakdown risks. For example, it analyzes the deterioration status of engine oil and suggests an oil change before the risk of breakdown increases. The maintenance suggestion unit can also analyze the wear status of brake pads and predict breakdown risks. For example, it monitors the thickness of brake pads and notifies the user when they need to be replaced. The maintenance suggestion unit can also analyze the wear status of tires and predict breakdown risks. For example, it monitors the depth of tire treads and notifies the user when they need to be replaced. In this way, it is possible to predict future breakdown risks and suggest preventive maintenance, thereby preventing vehicle breakdowns from occurring.

[0036] When analyzing maintenance data, the maintenance suggestion unit takes into account the vehicle's usage environment and can propose a maintenance schedule that suits the environment. For example, the maintenance suggestion unit collects data on the vehicle's usage environment (urban area, mountainous area, etc.), and the generation AI analyzes that data to propose a maintenance schedule that suits the environment. For example, if the vehicle is used frequently in mountainous areas, the frequency of brake pad replacement may be increased. The maintenance suggestion unit may also increase the frequency of engine oil replacement if the vehicle is used frequently in cold regions. For example, the timing of replacement may be suggested, taking into account oil deterioration at low temperatures. The maintenance suggestion unit may also increase the frequency of air filter replacement if the vehicle is used frequently in urban areas. For example, the timing of filter replacement may be suggested, taking into account pollutants in urban areas. This allows for more efficient vehicle maintenance by proposing a maintenance schedule that takes into account the vehicle's usage environment.

[0037] The maintenance suggestion unit can add a function to compare the maintenance data with data of other vehicles of the same type and evaluate the relative maintenance status. The maintenance suggestion unit can add a function to compare the maintenance data with data of other vehicles of the same type and evaluate the relative maintenance status. For example, the maintenance status of the vehicle is evaluated by comparing it with the average maintenance frequency of vehicles of the same type. The maintenance suggestion unit can also compare it with failure data of other vehicles of the same type and evaluate the failure risk. For example, the failure risk of the vehicle is evaluated by comparing it with the failure frequency of vehicles of the same type. The maintenance suggestion unit can also compare it with the usage status of other vehicles of the same type and evaluate the need for maintenance. For example, the need for maintenance of the vehicle is evaluated by comparing it with the mileage and usage environment of vehicles of the same type. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of vehicle maintenance by evaluating the relative maintenance status by comparing it with data of other vehicles of the same type.

[0142] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0143] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0144] FIG. 9 illustrates 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. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0145] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically 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.

[0146] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0147] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0148] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs 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 a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0149] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of 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, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0155] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with 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.

[0156] As an example of a system configured with a single 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 system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an 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.

[0157] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0158] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used.
