[0028] (Example 1) The pet self-AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that understands pet behaviors and requests through natural language processing and supports pet life in cooperation with IoT home appliances. As a result, the pet self-AI system can understand pet behaviors and requests, control IoT home appliances, and automatically order food when it is low, thereby supporting the comfortable life of pets.

[0029] The pet self-AI system according to the embodiment includes a behavior understanding unit, an IoT control unit, and an ordering unit. The behavior understanding unit understands the behavior and needs of a pet. For example, the behavior understanding unit uses sensors and cameras to analyze the pet's movements and facial expressions to determine the pet's state. The behavior understanding unit can also use voice recognition technology to analyze the pet's cries and understand the pet's needs. For example, if the pet appears sleepy, the behavior understanding unit analyzes the pet's behavior and determines that the pet is sleepy. The IoT control unit controls IoT home appliances based on the pet's behavior and needs understood by the behavior understanding unit. For example, if the IoT control unit determines that the pet is sleepy, it sends a signal to a smart light to turn off the lights. If the IoT control unit determines that the pet is hungry, it can also send a signal to a feeder to provide food. For example, after the pet finishes eating, the IoT control unit checks the remaining amount of food in the feeder, and if there is insufficient food, it automatically places an order with an online store. The ordering unit detects a shortage of pet food and automatically orders more food. For example, the ordering unit automatically places an order with an online store if there is a shortage of food based on the remaining amount of food in the feeder. As a result, the pet self-AI system according to the embodiment can understand the behavior and needs of pets, control IoT home appliances, and automatically order food when there is a shortage, thereby supporting the comfortable life of pets.

[0030] The behavior understanding unit can analyze a pet's body temperature and heart rate to monitor its health. For example, the behavior understanding unit measures the pet's body temperature with a sensor and inputs the data into the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes body temperature fluctuations and monitors the pet's health. For example, a high body temperature may indicate a fever and notify the owner. The behavior understanding unit also measures the pet's heart rate with a sensor and inputs the data into the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes heart rate fluctuations and monitors the pet's health. For example, an abnormally high heart rate may indicate stress and notify the owner. The behavior understanding unit also combines body temperature and heart rate data to comprehensively monitor the pet's health. For example, it can obtain a detailed understanding of the pet's health based on fluctuations in body temperature and heart rate. This makes it possible to manage a pet's health by analyzing its body temperature and heart rate and monitoring its health.

[0031] The behavior understanding unit collects pet behavior data over a long period of time and learns and predicts behavioral patterns. For example, the behavior understanding unit collects pet behavior data using sensors or cameras and inputs the data into the generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the long-term data and learns the pet's behavioral patterns. For example, it understands the pet's habit of eating at specific times. The behavior understanding unit also collects pet behavior data and the generation AI learns the behavioral patterns, allowing it to predict pet behavior. For example, it predicts that the pet will ask for a walk at a specific time. The behavior understanding unit also develops an algorithm for the generation AI to learn behavioral patterns based on the pet behavior data and predict the pet's behavior. For example, it analyzes the pet's behavior data and learns the behavioral patterns to predict the pet's behavior. In this way, by collecting pet behavior data over a long period of time and learning and predicting the behavioral patterns, the pet's behavior can be understood more accurately.

[0032] The behavior understanding unit can also analyze the behavior and tone of voice of the pet owner, taking into account the relationship between the pet and owner. For example, the behavior understanding unit collects the owner's behavior data and inputs it into the generation AI. The generation AI compares the owner's behavior with the pet's behavior and analyzes the relationship. For example, it learns the pattern of a pet becoming excited when the owner returns home. The behavior understanding unit also records the tone of the owner's voice and inputs the audio data into the generation AI. The generation AI performs audio analysis to estimate the owner's emotions. For example, it can determine from the tone of voice that the owner is relaxed. The behavior understanding unit also combines the owner's behavior data and tone of voice data, allowing the generation AI to comprehensively analyze the relationship between the pet and owner. For example, it can grasp the relationship between the pet and owner in detail based on the owner's behavior and tone of voice. This allows the system to analyze the pet owner's behavior and tone of voice and take the relationship between the pet and owner into consideration, enabling more appropriate responses.

[0033] The behavior understanding unit compares a pet's behavioral data with other pets and can detect abnormal behavior early. The behavior understanding unit, for example, collects behavioral data from multiple pets and inputs it into the generation AI. The generation AI compares the behavioral patterns of each pet and detects abnormal behavior. For example, if a specific pet behaves differently from other pets, it will determine this as abnormal. The behavior understanding unit also collects pet behavioral data and develops an algorithm for the generation AI to detect abnormal behavior. For example, it detects abnormal behavior based on deviations in behavioral patterns. The behavior understanding unit also compares a pet's behavioral data with other pets and the generation AI detects abnormal behavior early. For example, it detects abnormal behavior early based on a definition of abnormal behavior. In this way, by comparing a pet's behavioral data with other pets and detecting abnormal behavior early, it is possible to detect health problems in pets early.

[0034] The IoT control unit can automatically adjust the environment of the entire home according to the behavior and requests of your pet. For example, the IoT control unit's generating AI automatically adjusts the temperature in the home based on your pet's behavior data. For example, if your pet feels hot, it will automatically adjust the air conditioner to maintain a comfortable temperature. The IoT control unit's generating AI also automatically adjusts the humidity in the home based on your pet's behavior data. For example, if your pet feels dry, it will automatically adjust the humidifier to maintain a comfortable humidity level. The IoT control unit's generating AI also automatically adjusts the lighting in the home based on your pet's behavior data. For example, if your pet feels sleepy, it will automatically adjust the lighting to maintain a comfortable brightness. This allows the entire home environment to be automatically adjusted according to your pet's behavior and requests, providing a comfortable living environment for your pet.

[0035] The IoT control unit can play music and videos that match the pet's preferences based on the pet's behavioral data. For example, the IoT control unit analyzes the pet's behavioral data, and the generation AI plays music that matches the pet's preferences. For example, when the pet is relaxed, it selects music that has a relaxing effect. The IoT control unit also analyzes the pet's behavioral data, and the generation AI plays videos that match the pet's preferences. For example, when the pet is excited, it selects videos that have a relaxing effect. The IoT control unit also develops an algorithm that enables the generation AI to play music and videos that match the pet's preferences based on the pet's behavioral data. For example, it analyzes the pet's behavioral data and selects music and videos that match the preferences. In this way, playing music and videos that match the pet's preferences based on the pet's behavioral data can reduce the pet's stress and help it relax.

[0036] The IoT control unit controls the smart door according to the pet's behavior and requests, allowing the pet to enter and exit freely. For example, the IoT control unit uses a generating AI to control the smart door based on the pet's behavior data. For example, if the pet wants to go outside, the door will automatically open. The IoT control unit also develops an algorithm for the generating AI to control the smart door based on the pet's behavior data. For example, it analyzes the pet's behavior data and controls the door opening and closing. The IoT control unit also uses a generating AI to control the smart door based on the pet's behavior data, allowing the pet to enter and exit freely. For example, if the pet wants to go back inside, the door will automatically open. This allows the smart door to be controlled according to the pet's behavior and requests, allowing the pet to enter and exit freely.

[0037] The IoT control unit can manage the amount of exercise a pet receives and control automatic toys to encourage appropriate exercise. For example, the IoT control unit collects exercise data from the pet, and the generation AI controls the automatic toy. For example, if the pet is not getting enough exercise, the automatic toy is activated to encourage exercise. The IoT control unit also collects the pet's exercise data, and the generation AI develops an algorithm to control the automatic toy. For example, the IoT control unit analyzes the pet's exercise data and manages the amount of exercise. The IoT control unit also controls the automatic toy based on the pet's exercise data, and encourages appropriate exercise. For example, if the pet is not getting enough exercise, the automatic toy is activated to encourage exercise. In this way, the pet's health is maintained by managing the amount of exercise a pet receives and controlling the automatic toy to encourage appropriate exercise.

[0038] The ordering unit can analyze the pet's dietary history and suggest the type and amount of food that is optimal for the pet's health condition. For example, the ordering unit collects the pet's dietary history, and the generation AI analyzes that data. For example, if the pet prefers a particular food, the order unit suggests the type and amount of that food. The ordering unit also analyzes the pet's dietary history and develops an algorithm for the generation AI to suggest the type and amount of food that is optimal for the pet's health condition. For example, the order unit analyzes the pet's dietary history and suggests the type and amount of food based on the pet's health condition. The order unit also uses the pet's dietary history to suggest the type and amount of food that is optimal for the pet's health condition. For example, if the pet needs a particular nutrient, the order unit suggests food that contains that nutrient. In this way, the pet's health is maintained by analyzing the pet's dietary history and suggesting the type and amount of food that is optimal for the pet's health condition.

[0039] The order unit can monitor the pet's weight and activity level and automatically adjust the amount of food. For example, the order unit may periodically measure the pet's weight and input that data into the generation AI. The generation AI may analyze fluctuations in weight and automatically adjust the amount of food. For example, if the pet has gained too much weight, it may reduce the amount of food. The order unit may also measure the pet's activity level with a sensor and input that data into the generation AI. The generation AI may analyze fluctuations in activity level and automatically adjust the amount of food. For example, if the pet is not very active, it may reduce the amount of food. The order unit may also combine the weight and activity level data and have the generation AI automatically adjust the amount of food. For example, it may fine-tune the amount of food based on fluctuations in weight and activity level. In this way, the pet's health can be maintained by monitoring the pet's weight and activity level and automatically adjusting the amount of food.

[0040] The ordering unit can automatically order new food samples tailored to the pet's preferences based on the pet's eating history. For example, the ordering unit analyzes the pet's eating history, and the generation AI automatically orders new food samples tailored to the pet's preferences. For example, if the pet likes a particular flavor, it orders new food with that flavor. The ordering unit also analyzes the pet's eating history, and develops an algorithm for the generation AI to order new food samples. For example, it analyzes the pet's eating history and selects food samples tailored to the pet's preferences. The ordering unit also has the generation AI automatically order new food samples based on the pet's eating history. For example, if the pet likes a particular nutrient, it orders new food containing that nutrient. In this way, by automatically ordering new food samples tailored to the pet's preferences based on the pet's eating history, the variety of the pet's diet is increased and satisfaction is improved.

[0041] The ordering unit can monitor the pet's health condition and automatically order any necessary supplements. For example, the ordering unit collects the pet's health data, and the generation AI analyzes that data. For example, if the pet's coat is in poor condition, the order unit orders supplements to improve that coat. The ordering unit also analyzes the pet's health data and develops an algorithm for the generation AI to order supplements. For example, the order unit analyzes the pet's health data and selects the necessary supplements. The order unit also uses the generation AI to automatically order supplements based on the pet's health data. For example, if the pet needs a specific nutrient, the order unit orders supplements containing that nutrient. In this way, the pet's health condition is monitored and the necessary supplements are automatically ordered, thereby maintaining the pet's health.

[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0043] The behavior understanding unit can learn the pet's preferences and habits based on the pet's behavioral data, and provide an environment in which the pet can be most comfortable. For example, if the pet often rests in a particular place, a comfortable cushion can be placed in that place. The behavior understanding unit can also provide toys that the pet prefers based on the pet's behavioral data. For example, if the pet often plays with a particular type of toy, that toy can be automatically provided. The behavior understanding unit can also adjust the pet's preferred meal times based on the pet's behavioral data. For example, if the pet prefers to eat at a particular time, food can be provided at that time. In this way, an environment in which the pet can be most comfortable can be provided based on the pet's behavioral data.

[0044] The behavior understanding unit can evaluate the sociability of the pet based on the behavioral data of the pet and make suggestions to promote interaction with other pets and people. For example, if the pet likes to play with other pets, the behavior understanding unit can suggest events to promote interaction between the pets. The behavior understanding unit can also make suggestions to increase the time the pet spends with a specific person based on the behavioral data of the pet. For example, if the pet likes to spend time with a specific family member, the behavior understanding unit can suggest increasing that time. The behavior understanding unit can also support the pet in adapting to a new environment based on the behavioral data of the pet.

[0049] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0050] Step 1: The behavior understanding unit understands the pet's behavior and requests. For example, the behavior understanding unit uses sensors and cameras to analyze the pet's movements and facial expressions to determine the pet's state. It can also use voice recognition technology to analyze the pet's cries and understand its requests. For example, if the pet appears sleepy, it analyzes its behavior and determines that the pet is sleepy. Step 2: The IoT control unit controls IoT home appliances based on the pet's behavior and requests understood by the behavior understanding unit. For example, if it determines that the pet is sleepy, it sends a signal to the smart light to turn off the lights. Also, if it determines that the pet is hungry, it can send a signal to the feeder to provide food. Furthermore, after the pet has finished eating, it checks the amount of food remaining in the feeder and automatically places an order from the online store if there is not enough food. Step 3: The ordering unit detects when pet food is running low and automatically orders more. For example, if there is a shortage of food, it automatically places an order with the online store based on the remaining amount of food in the feeder.

[0051] (Example 2) The pet self-AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that understands pet behaviors and requests through natural language processing and supports pet life in cooperation with IoT home appliances. As a result, the pet self-AI system can understand pet behaviors and requests, control IoT home appliances, and automatically order food when it is low, thereby supporting the comfortable life of pets.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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).

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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."

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0142] Alternatively, 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 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0143] 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.

[0144] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: A CPU is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A dedicated electrical circuit, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), is a processor with a circuit configuration specifically designed to execute a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects 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 replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure.
