[0028] (Example 1) The water quality monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses sensor devices to collect water quality data from a body of water in real time, and then analyzes and evaluates the data using AI. This allows the water quality monitoring system to detect abnormal water quality patterns in a body of water, identify pollution sources, predict impacts on wildlife, and propose appropriate measures.

[0029] A water quality monitoring system according to an embodiment includes a sensor device, a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and an evaluation unit. The sensor device is installed in a body of water and collects water quality data, such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and conductivity, in real time. For example, the sensor device is installed in a body of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean, and periodically collects data. This allows for continuous monitoring of fluctuations in water quality. The data collection unit collects the water quality data collected by the sensor device. For example, the data collection unit receives data transmitted from the sensor device and stores it in a database. The data collection unit can also preprocess the collected data and pass it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes the water quality data collected by the data collection unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the water quality data and detect abnormal patterns. The AI ​​compares the data with past data to detect sudden changes that differ from normal water quality patterns or increases in the concentration of specific harmful substances. The evaluation unit evaluates the water quality data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the evaluation unit identifies pollution sources and predicts their impact on wildlife based on abnormal patterns detected by the AI. The AI ​​estimates the location and type of pollution sources based on past data and geographic information. The AI ​​also uses an ecosystem model to simulate the impact of water quality fluctuations on the ecosystem. This allows the water quality monitoring system according to the embodiment to collect, analyze, and evaluate water quality data in real time. For example, the output unit displays the evaluation results to relevant organizations and residents via a web application or mobile application. If feedback on paper is desired, the results are printed using a printer. Sending the results via email provides rapid feedback by sending the results directly to relevant organizations and residents.

[0030] Sensor devices can be mounted on drones or autonomous underwater robots to collect water quality data over a wide area and across multiple layers. For example, a sensor device can be mounted on a drone to collect water quality data while flying over a wide area of ​​water. For example, the sensor device can monitor the water quality of an entire river and detect abnormal patterns. Alternatively, a sensor device can be mounted on an autonomous underwater robot to collect multiple layers of water quality data while moving underwater. For example, water quality data can be collected by collecting water quality data at each depth and comparing the water quality of different layers. Sensor devices can also be combined with a drone and an autonomous underwater robot to collect water quality data over a wide area and across multiple layers. For example, a drone can collect water quality data over a wide area from the sky, and an autonomous underwater robot can collect multiple layers of data from underwater. This allows the collection of water quality data over a wide area and across multiple layers.

[0031] Sensor devices have a self-repair function, enabling stable data collection over a long period of time. For example, a sensor device may be equipped with a self-repair function and automatically repair itself in the event of a failure or damage. For example, if the sensor surface is scratched, it can be repaired using a self-repair material. Sensor devices may also have a self-diagnosis function and automatically repair themselves if they detect signs of failure. For example, they may constantly monitor the operating status of the sensor and perform self-repair if an abnormality is detected. Sensor devices may also have an automatic part replacement function and automatically replace broken parts. For example, if part of the sensor breaks down, it can automatically replace it with a spare part. This enables stable data collection over a long period of time.

[0032] Sensor devices can also be applied to monitoring agricultural water and industrial water, enabling water quality management for different purposes. For example, sensor devices can be applied to monitoring agricultural water to monitor the effects of pesticides and fertilizers. For example, they can measure the pH and dissolved oxygen of agricultural water in real time. Sensor devices can also be applied to monitoring industrial water to monitor the quality of industrial wastewater. For example, they can measure the conductivity and concentration of harmful substances in industrial water. Sensor devices can also be applied to monitoring both agricultural water and industrial water, enabling water quality management for different purposes. For example, water quality data from agricultural water and industrial water can be compared to manage water quality for different purposes. This makes it possible to manage water quality for different purposes.

[0033] Sensor devices can be installed in urban drainage systems to manage water quality throughout the city. For example, sensor devices can be installed in urban drainage systems to monitor the quality of wastewater in real time. For example, sensors can be installed in sewers and drainage pipes to measure the concentration of harmful substances. Sensor devices can also be installed in urban drainage systems to collect water quality data at multiple points. For example, sensors can be installed in multiple drainage pipes within a city to collect water quality data at each point. Sensor devices can also be linked to urban drainage systems to optimize the operation of wastewater treatment facilities. For example, they can monitor the operating status of wastewater treatment facilities in real time and adjust operating conditions as needed. This makes it possible to manage water quality throughout the city.

[0034] When detecting an anomaly, the analysis unit can integrate past meteorological data and geographical information to analyze the cause of the anomaly from multiple angles.

The evaluation unit can also identify the location of the pollution source by combining GIS data with water quality data. For example, the evaluation unit can identify the location of the pollution source by combining abnormal patterns in water quality data with GIS data. The evaluation unit can also update the location of the pollution source in real time using GIS data. For example, if the location of the pollution source changes, the location information is updated based on GIS data. This allows the location of the pollution source to be identified with high accuracy.

[0038] The evaluation unit can refer to the database of past contamination cases and detect similar patterns to identify the source of contamination. The evaluation unit, for example, refers to the database of past contamination cases and detects similar patterns to identify the source of contamination.

[0040] The evaluation unit can build a system that notifies relevant organizations and residents of the results of identifying the pollution source in real time. The evaluation unit, for example, builds a system that notifies relevant organizations and residents of the results of identifying the pollution source in real time. For example, the evaluation unit may send emails or app notifications to relevant organizations and residents. The evaluation unit can also provide multiple notification methods so that relevant organizations and residents can choose from. For example, methods such as email notifications, app notifications, and voice alerts can be provided so that relevant organizations and residents can choose from. The evaluation unit can also customize the content of the notifications and provide appropriate information to relevant organizations and residents.

For example, they can adjust the frequency and items of data collection according to changes in the season or weather. Sensor devices can also use their self-learning capabilities to detect signs of malfunction and perform maintenance in advance. For example, they can learn the sensor's operating patterns and issue an alert if abnormal operation is detected. This improves the performance of sensor devices and enables them to operate for a long period of time.

[0053] When detecting an anomaly, the analysis unit can integrate past meteorological data and geographical information to perform a multifaceted analysis of the cause of the anomaly. For example, when detecting an anomaly, past meteorological data can be integrated to analyze the cause of the anomaly. For example, whether an abnormal water quality pattern is related to meteorological conditions can be evaluated. The analysis unit can also integrate geographical information to analyze the cause of the anomaly.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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).

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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."

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.
