[0028] (Example 1) The risky behavior detection system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that detects risky behavior using the voices and images of workers, issues an alert, and records evidence, thereby ensuring the safety of workers and enabling the company to fulfill its supervisory responsibilities.
[0029] A risky behavior detection system according to an embodiment includes a risky behavior detection unit, an alert issuing unit, and an evidence recording unit. The risky behavior detection unit detects risky behavior using the voice and image of a worker. For example, the risky behavior detection unit detects when a worker is working without a safety device. The risky behavior detection unit also detects when a worker is entering a dangerous location. The risky behavior detection unit also detects when a worker is performing inappropriate behavior. The alert issuing unit issues an alert in response to risky behavior detected by the risky behavior detection unit. For example, the alert issuing unit issues a voice alert such as "Risky behavior has been detected. Please take safe action immediately." The alert issuing unit also turns on a warning lamp. The alert issuing unit also issues a vibration alert. The evidence recording unit records data on risky behavior detected by the risky behavior detection unit. For example, the evidence recording unit records the date, time, and location at which the risky behavior was detected. The evidence recording unit also records specific details of the risky behavior. Furthermore, the evidence recording unit records audio data and video data when risky behavior occurs. As a result, the risky behavior detection system according to the embodiment can ensure the safety of workers and fulfill the supervisory responsibilities of the company. For example, the company can provide appropriate guidance to workers based on the evidence when risky behavior is detected. Furthermore, the company can identify areas for improvement in the work environment based on the evidence, and improve the working environment. Furthermore, the company can reduce insurance premiums based on the evidence.
[0030] The risky behavior detection unit can learn worker behavior patterns over a long period of time and construct a generative AI model for detecting abnormal behavior. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, collects worker behavior patterns over a long period of time and trains the generative AI model. For example, to detect behavior that differs from normal work behavior, data is collected over several months and abnormal behavior is identified. The risky behavior detection unit also uses the generative AI model to analyze worker behavior patterns in real time and detect abnormal behavior. For example, if the generative AI model detects behavior that differs from normal behavior, it issues an alert. The risky behavior detection unit also uses the generative AI model to analyze worker behavior patterns and detect signs of abnormal behavior early. For example, if the generative AI model detects signs of behavior that differs from normal behavior, it issues an alert. In this way, by learning worker behavior patterns and detecting abnormal behavior, it is possible to detect dangerous behavior early.
[0031] The risky behavior detection unit can analyze changes in the tone and tempo of the worker's voice to detect signs of stress or fatigue. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, analyzes the tone and tempo of the worker's voice in real time to detect signs of stress or fatigue. For example, stress is detected when the tone of the voice is higher than usual. The risky behavior detection unit also detects stress when the tempo of the voice is faster than usual. The risky behavior detection unit also detects fatigue when the tone of the voice is lower than usual. In this way, the health condition of the worker can be grasped by analyzing changes in the tone and tempo of the worker's voice to detect signs of stress or fatigue.
[0032] The risky behavior detection unit can monitor the worker's vital data in real time and detect signs of risky behavior. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, monitors the worker's heart rate and body temperature in real time and detects signs of risky behavior when abnormal values are detected. For example, the risky behavior detection unit detects stress when the heart rate rises sharply. The risky behavior detection unit also detects the risk of heatstroke when the body temperature rises sharply. The risky behavior detection unit also analyzes the vital data and issues an alert when an abnormal value is detected. In this way, by monitoring the worker's vital data and detecting signs of risky behavior, the worker's health condition can be understood and accidents can be prevented.
[0033] The risky behavior detection unit can monitor changes in the work environment and evaluate the risk of risky behavior due to environmental factors. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, monitors the temperature, humidity, and noise level of the work environment in real time, and evaluates the risk of risky behavior when an abnormal value is detected. For example, the risk of heat stroke is evaluated when the temperature is too high. The risky behavior detection unit also evaluates the risk of dehydration when the humidity is too high. The risky behavior detection unit also evaluates the risk of hearing impairment when the noise level is too high. In this way, the safety of workers can be ensured by monitoring changes in the work environment and evaluating the risk of risky behavior due to environmental factors.
[0034] The alert issuing unit can generate a customized alert message according to the individual characteristics of each worker. The alert issuing unit generates a customized alert message according to, for example, the individual characteristics of each worker (such as age, experience, and health condition). For example, an alert including detailed instructions is issued to an inexperienced worker. The alert issuing unit also generates an alert message according to the health condition of the worker. For example, an alert urging a worker in poor health to take a break. The alert issuing unit also generates an alert message according to the age of the worker. For example, an alert urging an elderly worker to be careful. In this way, by generating an alert message customized according to the individual characteristics of each worker, more effective warnings can be issued.
[0035] The alert issuing unit can optimize the timing of issuing an alert and identify the moment when a worker can respond most effectively. In order to optimize the timing of issuing an alert, the alert issuing unit, for example, analyzes the behavioral patterns of workers and identifies the moment when a worker can respond most effectively. For example, it identifies a time when workers are concentrating. The alert issuing unit also analyzes the health status of workers and identifies the moment when a worker can respond most effectively. For example, it identifies a time when the worker's health is good. The alert issuing unit also analyzes the work environment of the worker and identifies the moment when a worker can respond most effectively. For example, it identifies a time when the work environment is quiet. In this way, by optimizing the timing of issuing an alert, it is possible to identify the moment when a worker can respond most effectively and prevent risky behavior.
[0036] The alert issuing unit can utilize a wearable device such as a smartwatch or smart glasses of the worker when issuing an alert. The alert issuing unit, for example, utilizes the worker's smartwatch or smart glasses to issue an alert. For example, the alert is transmitted using the vibration of the smartwatch or the display on the smartglasses. The alert issuing unit also uses the wearable device to acquire the worker's location information and issue an alert. For example, an alert is issued when the worker enters a dangerous area. The alert issuing unit also uses the wearable device to monitor the worker's health condition and issue an alert when an abnormality is detected. In this way, by utilizing the wearable device when issuing an alert, warnings can be more effectively communicated to the worker.
[0037] The alert issuing unit can make the content of the alert multilingual so that it can be used in international work sites. The alert issuing unit, for example, makes the content of the alert multilingual so that it can be used in international work sites. For example, the alert issuing unit issues an alert in multiple languages, such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. The alert issuing unit also generates an alert message according to the worker's native language. For example, if the worker's native language is Spanish, the alert is issued in Spanish. The alert issuing unit also generates an alert message according to the worker's language setting. For example, if the worker's language setting is English, the alert is issued in English. By making the content of the alert multilingual, it can be used in international work sites, ensuring the safety of workers.
[0038] The evidence recording unit can record related sensor data simultaneously with the detection of risky behavior. For example, when risky behavior is detected, the evidence recording unit simultaneously records sensor data such as the temperature, humidity, and noise level of the work environment. For example, it stores environmental data at the moment the risky behavior occurred. The evidence recording unit also simultaneously records the worker's vital signs data. For example, it stores data on heart rate and body temperature. The evidence recording unit also simultaneously records the worker's location information. For example, it stores data on the location where the risky behavior occurred. In this way, by recording related sensor data simultaneously with the detection of risky behavior, more detailed evidence can be provided.
[0039] The evidence recording unit can store evidence data in a tamper-proof form using blockchain technology. The evidence recording unit, for example, stores risky behavior detection data in a tamper-proof form using blockchain technology. For example, the hash value of the data is recorded in the blockchain. The evidence recording unit also stores the evidence data in a distributed ledger. For example, the data is distributed and stored across multiple nodes. The evidence recording unit also uses a digital signature to prevent tampering with the evidence data. For example, a digital signature is assigned to the data. In this way, the reliability of the data can be ensured by storing the evidence data in a tamper-proof form using blockchain technology.
[0040] The evidence recording unit can store evidence data on the cloud and make it accessible from a remote location. The evidence recording unit, for example, stores detection data of risky behavior on the cloud and makes it accessible from a remote location. For example, the evidence recording unit stores data using cloud storage. The evidence recording unit also encrypts the data stored on the cloud. For example, the data is encrypted and stored. The evidence recording unit also introduces an authentication system for accessing the data stored on the cloud. For example, two-factor authentication is used. This allows the evidence data to be stored on the cloud and accessible from a remote location, thereby improving the convenience of the data.
[0041] The evidence recording unit can automatically analyze the evidence data and generate a report of patterns and trends of risky behavior. The evidence recording unit, for example, automatically analyzes the evidence data and generates a report of patterns and trends of risky behavior. For example, it extracts patterns using data mining technology. The evidence recording unit also analyzes the frequency and time periods of occurrence of risky behavior. For example, it generates a report if risky behavior occurs frequently during a specific time period. The evidence recording unit also analyzes the location where risky behavior occurs. For example, it generates a report if risky behavior occurs frequently in a specific location. In this way, automatically analyzing the evidence data and generating a report of patterns and trends of risky behavior can be useful in improving the work environment.
[0042] The risky behavior detection unit can automatically activate an emergency stop device upon detecting a risky behavior. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, automatically activates the emergency stop device when risky behavior is detected. For example, it immediately stops the operation of a machine. The risky behavior detection unit also uses the emergency stop device to ensure the safety of workers. For example, it activates the emergency stop device when a worker enters a dangerous location. The risky behavior detection unit also uses the emergency stop device to ensure the safety of the work environment. For example, it activates the emergency stop device when abnormal operation of a machine is detected. In this way, the safety of workers can be ensured by automatically activating the emergency stop device upon detecting risky behavior.
[0043] The risky behavior detection unit can track the location information of workers in real time and prevent them from entering dangerous areas. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, tracks the location information of workers in real time and prevents them from entering dangerous areas. For example, it acquires location information using GPS technology. The risky behavior detection unit also analyzes the location information of workers and detects entry into dangerous areas. For example, it issues an alert if a worker enters a dangerous area. The risky behavior detection unit also takes measures to prevent entry into dangerous areas based on the location information of workers. For example, it issues a warning if the worker approaches a dangerous area. In this way, the safety of workers can be ensured by tracking the location information of workers in real time and preventing them from entering dangerous areas.
[0044] The risky behavior detection unit can constantly monitor the status of the worker's safety devices and issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, constantly monitors the status of the worker's safety devices and issues an alert if an abnormality is detected. For example, an alert is issued if the safety device is disengaged. The risky behavior detection unit also monitors the status of the safety devices in real time and issues an alert if an abnormality is detected. For example, an alert is issued if the safety device breaks down. The risky behavior detection unit also builds a system for monitoring the status of the safety devices and issuing an alert if an abnormality is detected. This allows the status of the worker's safety devices to be constantly monitored and an alert is issued if an abnormality is detected, thereby ensuring the safety of the worker.
[0045] The risky behavior detection unit can periodically check the health status of workers and issue a warning when a health risk increases. The risky behavior detection unit, for example, periodically checks the health status of workers and issues a warning when a health risk increases. For example, the warning is issued based on regular health check data. The risky behavior detection unit also periodically checks the vital signs data of workers and issues a warning when a health risk increases. For example, the warning is issued based on heart rate or body temperature data. The risky behavior detection unit also builds a system for checking the health status of workers and issuing a warning when a health risk increases. In this way, by periodically checking the health status of workers and issuing a warning when a health risk increases, it is possible to maintain the health of workers and ensure their safety.
[0046] The evidence recording unit can identify areas for improvement in the work environment based on the detection data of dangerous behavior and work to improve the working environment. The evidence recording unit, for example, identifies areas for improvement in the work environment based on the detection data of dangerous behavior and work to improve the working environment. For example, it identifies places where dangerous behavior occurs frequently and proposes improvement measures. The evidence recording unit also analyzes the temperature, humidity, and noise level of the work environment and identifies areas for improvement. For example, it suggests installing air conditioning equipment if the temperature is too high. The evidence recording unit also analyzes the vital signs data of workers and identifies areas for improvement. For example, it recommends taking a break if the heart rate is high. In this way, it is possible to identify areas for improvement in the work environment based on the detection data of dangerous behavior and work to improve the working environment, thereby ensuring the safety and health of workers.
[0047] The evidence recording unit can utilize evidence data to assess the risk of work-related accidents and reduce insurance premiums. The evidence recording unit, for example, utilizes evidence data to assess the risk of work-related accidents and reduce insurance premiums. For example, it assesses risk based on the frequency and patterns of dangerous behavior. The evidence recording unit also builds a system to assess the risk of work-related accidents and reduce insurance premiums. For example, it sets insurance premiums based on risk assessment. The evidence recording unit also proposes discounts on insurance premiums for implementing safety measures. In this way, by utilizing evidence data to assess the risk of work-related accidents and reduce insurance premiums, it is possible to reduce costs for companies and contribute to improving the working environment.
[0048] The evidence recording unit can apply the risky behavior detection system to other industries and applications, thereby developing new markets. For example, the evidence recording unit applies the risky behavior detection system to other industries and applications, thereby developing new markets. For example, it can be expanded to other industries such as the construction industry and manufacturing industry. The evidence recording unit can also apply the risky behavior detection system to applications other than safety management. For example, it can be used for quality control and efficiency improvement. The evidence recording unit can also formulate strategies for expanding the risky behavior detection system into new markets. In this way, applying the risky behavior detection system to other industries and applications can develop new markets and contribute to the growth of the company.
[0049] The evidence recording department can utilize evidence data to promote a company's safety management system and improve the company's brand value. The evidence recording department, for example, utilizes evidence data to promote a company's safety management system and improve the company's brand value. For example, it publishes safety management results. The evidence recording department also creates materials to promote the company's safety management system. For example, it creates materials summarizing the implementation status of safety manuals and safety training. The evidence recording department also formulates strategies to improve the company's brand value. In this way, the company can increase its credibility by utilizing evidence data to promote its safety management system and improve its brand value.
[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0051] The risky behavior detection unit can learn worker behavior patterns over a long period of time and build a generative AI model to detect abnormal behavior. For example, worker behavior patterns are collected over a long period of time and trained into a generative AI model. Data is collected over several months to detect behavior that differs from normal work behavior and identify abnormal behavior. The generative AI model is also used to analyze worker behavior patterns in real time and detect abnormal behavior. An alert is issued if the generative AI model detects behavior that differs from normal behavior. The generative AI model is also used to analyze worker behavior patterns and detect signs of abnormal behavior early. An alert is issued if the generative AI model detects signs of behavior that differs from normal behavior. In this way, by learning worker behavior patterns and detecting abnormal behavior, risky behavior can be detected early.
[0052] The risky behavior detection unit can monitor workers' vital data in real time and detect signs of risky behavior. For example, it can monitor a worker's heart rate and body temperature in real time, and if abnormal values are detected, it can detect signs of risky behavior. If the heart rate rises sharply, it can detect stress. Also, if the body temperature rises sharply, it can detect the risk of heatstroke. It analyzes the vital data and issues an alert if an abnormal value is detected. In this way, by monitoring workers' vital data and detecting signs of risky behavior, it is possible to understand the worker's health condition and prevent accidents from occurring.
[0053] The risky behavior detection unit can monitor changes in the work environment and assess the risk of risky behavior due to environmental factors. For example, it can monitor the temperature, humidity, and noise level of the work environment in real time and assess the risk of risky behavior if abnormal values are detected. It can assess the risk of heatstroke if the temperature is too high, the risk of dehydration if the humidity is too high, and the risk of hearing loss if the noise level is too high. In this way, by monitoring changes in the work environment and assessing the risk of risky behavior due to environmental factors, the safety of workers can be ensured.
[0054] The alert issuing unit can generate a customized alert message according to the individual characteristics of each worker. For example, a customized alert message is generated according to the individual characteristics of each worker (such as age, experience, and health condition). An alert including detailed instructions is issued to an inexperienced worker. An alert message is also generated according to the worker's health condition. An alert urging a worker in poor health to take a break. An alert message is also generated according to the worker's age. An alert urging caution is issued to an elderly worker. In this way, by generating an alert message customized according to the individual characteristics of each worker, more effective warnings can be issued.
[0055] The alert issuing unit can optimize the timing of issuing an alert and identify the moment when a worker can respond most effectively. For example, to optimize the timing of issuing an alert, the behavioral patterns of workers are analyzed to identify the moment when they can respond most effectively. The timing when workers are concentrating is identified. The health status of workers is also analyzed to identify the moment when they can respond most effectively. The timing when their health is good is identified. The working environment of the worker is also analyzed to identify the moment when they can respond most effectively. The timing when the working environment is quiet is identified. In this way, by optimizing the timing of issuing an alert, the moment when workers can respond most effectively can be identified and dangerous behavior can be prevented.
[0056] The alert issuing unit can utilize a wearable device such as a worker's smartwatch or smart glasses when issuing an alert. For example, the alert is issued using the worker's smartwatch or smart glasses. The alert is communicated using the vibration of the smartwatch or the display on the smartglasses. The wearable device can also be used to obtain the worker's location information and issue an alert. An alert is issued when the worker enters a dangerous area. The wearable device can also be used to monitor the worker's health condition and issue an alert when an abnormality is detected. By utilizing a wearable device when issuing an alert, warnings can be more effectively communicated to workers.
[0057] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0058] Step 1: The risky behavior detection unit detects risky behavior using the worker's voice and images, such as when a worker is working without safety equipment, entering a dangerous area, or performing inappropriate actions. Step 2: The alert issuing unit issues an alert for the risky behavior detected by the risky behavior detection unit. For example, it may issue a voice alert such as "Dangerous behavior has been detected. Take safe action immediately," or it may turn on a warning lamp or vibrate. Step 3: The evidence recording unit records data on the risky behavior detected by the risky behavior detection unit, such as the date and time when the risky behavior was detected, the location, the specific details of the behavior, and audio and video data at the time of the occurrence.
[0059] (Example 2) The risky behavior detection system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that detects risky behavior using the voices and images of workers, issues an alert, and records evidence, thereby ensuring the safety of workers and enabling the company to fulfill its supervisory responsibilities.
[0060] A risky behavior detection system according to an embodiment includes a risky behavior detection unit, an alert issuing unit, and an evidence recording unit. The risky behavior detection unit detects risky behavior using the voice and image of a worker. For example, the risky behavior detection unit detects when a worker is working without a safety device. The risky behavior detection unit also detects when a worker is entering a dangerous location.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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).
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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."
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.

[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices.
