[0028] (Example 1) The livestock monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that monitors the behavioral patterns and health conditions of livestock and uses AI analysis to identify livestock with high productivity and health characteristics. This allows the livestock monitoring system to identify livestock with superior genetic qualities, enabling producers to make scientifically based breeding selections.
[0029] A livestock monitoring system according to an embodiment includes a monitoring unit, an analysis unit, and an identification unit. The monitoring unit monitors the behavioral patterns and health conditions of livestock. For example, the monitoring unit collects data such as the distance traveled, frequency of meals, sleeping time, body temperature, and heart rate of the livestock. The monitoring unit can also collect data using sensors and cameras. For example, the monitoring unit uses an infrared sensor to measure the body temperature of the livestock. The monitoring unit also uses a heart rate sensor to measure the heart rate of the livestock. The monitoring unit also uses a camera to monitor the behavioral patterns of the livestock. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the monitoring unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the behavioral patterns and health conditions of the livestock using AI. The analysis unit can also analyze whether a specific behavioral pattern is associated with high productivity or health characteristics. The analysis unit also analyzes data using AI to analyze the health conditions of the livestock. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to perform analysis based on the behavioral data and health data of the livestock. The identification unit identifies livestock with high productivity or health characteristics based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the identification unit identifies individuals whose specific behavioral patterns or health conditions are associated with high productivity or health characteristics. The identification unit can also identify livestock with superior genetic qualities based on the results of the AI analysis. Thus, the livestock monitoring system according to the embodiment can identify livestock with high productivity or health characteristics by monitoring and analyzing the behavioral patterns and health conditions of livestock. For example, the output unit provides information about the identified livestock to producers. The output unit can display the information through a web application or a mobile application. The output unit can also print the information using a printer. Sending the information via email provides quick feedback by sending the information directly to producers.
[0030] The monitoring unit can monitor the behavioral patterns of livestock using drones. The monitoring unit, for example, monitors the behavioral patterns of livestock using drones. For example, drones fly over a wide area and record the migration routes of livestock and the movements of herds in real time. This makes it possible to collect detailed information about behavioral patterns that are difficult to grasp from the ground. As a result, by using drones, it is possible to monitor the behavioral patterns of livestock over a wide area in detail.
[0031] The monitoring unit can monitor the health of livestock using non-invasive biosensors. For example, the monitoring unit attaches non-invasive biosensors to livestock to measure blood components and hormone levels in real time. For example, a sensor that can be attached to the skin can be used to monitor blood glucose levels and cortisol levels. In this way, the health of livestock can be monitored in real time using non-invasive biosensors.
[0032] The monitoring unit can analyze the health condition or stress level from the sounds or voices of livestock using voice recognition technology. The monitoring unit, for example, uses voice recognition technology to analyze the sounds of livestock and estimate the health condition or stress level. For example, the monitoring unit analyzes the frequency and volume of the sounds and detects abnormal sounds. In this way, the health condition and stress level can be analyzed from the sounds or voices of livestock using voice recognition technology.
[0033] The monitoring unit can use environmental sensors to collect data on the temperature, humidity, and air quality of the rearing environment and analyze the correlation with the health condition. The monitoring unit, for example, uses environmental sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity of the rearing environment in real time. For example, it analyzes the impact that fluctuations in temperature and humidity have on the health condition of livestock. In this way, by using environmental sensors, it is possible to collect data on the rearing environment and analyze the correlation with the health condition.
[0034] The analysis unit can also combine and analyze the genetic data of livestock to clarify the relationship between genetic characteristics and behavioral patterns and health conditions. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to combine and analyze the genetic data and behavioral data of livestock. For example, it can analyze whether specific genetic characteristics are associated with high productivity or health characteristics. In this way, by combining and analyzing genetic data, it is possible to clarify the relationship between genetic characteristics and behavioral patterns and health conditions.
[0035] The analysis unit can track changes in livestock behavior patterns and health conditions by comparing them with past data and analyze long-term trends. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to compare past behavior data with current data and analyze changes in livestock behavior patterns and health conditions. For example, it analyzes seasonal fluctuations in behavior patterns. By comparing with past data, it is possible to analyze long-term trends in livestock behavior patterns and health conditions.
[0036] The analysis unit can integrate data from different types of livestock and perform comparative analysis of productivity and health characteristics between species. For example, AI can integrate data from different types of livestock and perform comparative analysis of productivity and health characteristics between species. For example, it can compare the behavior patterns and health conditions of cows and pigs. In this way, by integrating data from different types of livestock, comparative analysis of productivity and health characteristics between species can be performed.
[0037] The analysis unit can also combine and analyze data on the rearing environment to identify optimal rearing conditions. For example, AI can combine and analyze data on the rearing environment and behavioral data to identify optimal rearing conditions. For example, it can analyze the impact of feed type and rearing method on productivity and health characteristics. This allows optimal rearing conditions to be identified by combining and analyzing data on the rearing environment.
[0038] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0039] The monitoring unit can monitor not only the behavioral patterns and health status of livestock, but also their social interactions. For example, the monitoring unit can record the frequency and duration of contact between livestock and analyze their social networks. This can clarify the impact of livestock social behavior on productivity and health characteristics. The monitoring unit can also monitor whether livestock frequently come into contact with specific individuals and estimate social stress and feelings of isolation. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can analyze the leadership and hierarchical structure of livestock herds and clarify the impact of leadership on productivity and health characteristics.
[0040] The monitoring unit not only monitors the health status of livestock using non-invasive biosensors, but can also monitor the metabolic status of livestock using biosensors. For example, the monitoring unit can measure metabolic products of livestock in real time and analyze the metabolic status. This can clarify the impact of the metabolic status of livestock on productivity and health characteristics. The monitoring unit can also monitor changes in the metabolic status of livestock and detect abnormal metabolic conditions early. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can analyze the metabolic status of livestock to determine whether a specific metabolic pattern is associated with high productivity or health characteristics.
[0041] The monitoring unit not only uses environmental sensors to collect data on the temperature, humidity, and air quality of the rearing environment, but can also use environmental sensors to monitor the light intensity and sound level of the rearing environment. For example, the monitoring unit can measure the light intensity of the rearing environment in real time and analyze the effect of the light intensity on the health of the livestock. The monitoring unit can also monitor the sound level of the rearing environment and analyze the effect of the sound level on the stress level of the livestock. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can adjust the light intensity and sound level of the rearing environment to optimize the health and stress level of the livestock.
[0042] The analysis unit can not only combine and analyze genetic data of livestock, but also combine and analyze microbiome data of livestock. For example, the analysis unit can collect data on the intestinal bacteria of livestock and analyze it in combination with genetic data. This makes it possible to clarify the impact of the composition of intestinal bacteria on productivity and health characteristics. The analysis unit can also analyze microbiome data on the skin and oral cavity of livestock and clarify the correlation with health status. Furthermore, the analysis unit can propose optimal feed and breeding methods based on the microbiome data of livestock.
[0043] The analytics unit not only tracks changes in livestock behavior patterns and health conditions by comparing them with past data, but can also predict future behavior patterns and health conditions based on past data. For example, the analytics unit can use AI to learn from past data and build a model that predicts future behavior patterns and health conditions. This allows for early prediction of deterioration in livestock health and the implementation of preventative measures. The analytics unit can also predict seasonal fluctuations in behavior patterns and optimize breeding schedules. Furthermore, the analytics unit can predict future trends in livestock growth and productivity and create long-term breeding plans.
[0044] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0045] Step 1: The monitoring unit monitors the behavioral patterns and health conditions of the livestock. For example, the monitoring unit collects data such as the distance traveled by the livestock, frequency of meals, sleeping hours, body temperature, and heart rate. The monitoring unit can also collect data using sensors and cameras. For example, the monitoring unit uses an infrared sensor to measure the body temperature of the livestock.

The analysis unit also uses AI to analyze the data in order to analyze the health conditions of the livestock. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to perform analysis based on the behavioral data and health data of the livestock. Step 3: The identification unit identifies livestock with high productivity and health characteristics based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the identification unit identifies individuals whose specific behavioral patterns or health conditions are associated with high productivity or health characteristics. The identification unit can also identify livestock with excellent genetic qualities based on the results of the AI analysis.

Furthermore, the analytics unit can predict future trends in livestock growth and productivity and create long-term breeding plans.
[0070] The analysis unit can not only analyze the emotional data of livestock using the emotion estimation function, but also optimize rearing methods based on the emotional data of the livestock. For example, the analysis unit can identify rearing methods used when livestock are in a positive emotional state and apply those rearing methods to other livestock. The analysis unit can also suggest adjustments to the rearing environment to reduce stress based on the emotional data of the livestock. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust the type and amount of feed based on the emotional data of the livestock to improve the happiness of the livestock.
[0071] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0072] Step 1: The monitoring unit monitors the behavioral patterns and health conditions of the livestock. For example, the monitoring unit collects data such as the distance traveled by the livestock, frequency of meals, sleeping hours, body temperature, and heart rate. The monitoring unit can also collect data using sensors and cameras. For example, the monitoring unit uses an infrared sensor to measure the body temperature of the livestock. The monitoring unit also uses a heart rate sensor to measure the heart rate of the livestock. The monitoring unit also uses a camera to monitor the behavioral patterns of the livestock. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the monitoring unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the behavioral patterns and health conditions of the livestock. The analysis unit can also analyze whether a specific behavioral pattern is associated with high productivity or health characteristics. The analysis unit also uses AI to analyze the data in order to analyze the health conditions of the livestock. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to perform analysis based on the behavioral data and health data of the livestock. Step 3: The identification unit identifies livestock with high productivity and health characteristics based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the identification unit identifies individuals whose specific behavioral patterns or health conditions are associated with high productivity or health characteristics. The identification unit can also identify livestock with excellent genetic qualities based on the results of the AI analysis.

[0122] 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.
[0123] 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.
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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).
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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."
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, 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. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
