[0028] (Example 1) A driving assistance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that enables a driver to recognize potential dangers in advance while driving. This system analyzes video footage from a dashcam or a smartphone camera and evaluates the driving situation in real time. This allows the driving assistance system to recognize potential dangers in advance while the driver is driving and encourage safe driving.
[0029] A driving assistance system according to an embodiment includes a video analysis unit, a hazard detection unit, and a warning unit. The video analysis unit analyzes camera footage from a dashcam or smartphone. For example, the video analysis unit receives video data as input information using a generation AI, and recognizes road conditions, surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, and the like. The video analysis unit also analyzes information about, for example, a vehicle braking suddenly ahead and issues a warning to the driver. The hazard detection unit detects dangerous situations and potential problems from the camera footage analyzed by the video analysis unit. For example, the hazard detection unit detects lane departures, rapidly approaching vehicles, pedestrians running out into the road, and the like. The hazard detection unit also integrates, for example, vehicle sensor data (such as speed and braking pressure) to more accurately evaluate the driving situation. The warning unit warns the driver of dangerous situations and potential problems detected by the hazard detection unit. For example, the warning unit issues audio or visual warnings to the driver. The warning unit also sends warnings to the driver's smartphone, for example, to encourage caution even when the driver is not driving. As a result, the driving assistance system according to the embodiment can recognize potential dangers in advance while the driver is driving and encourage safe driving. For example, the driver can recognize dangers such as a vehicle braking suddenly, lane departure, or pedestrians running out into the road in advance and take appropriate measures. In addition, by sending a warning to the driver's smartphone, the system can encourage caution even when the driver is not driving.
[0030] The danger detection unit can detect a vehicle in front that suddenly brakes and issue a warning to the driver. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it detects a vehicle that suddenly brakes and issues an audio or visual warning to the driver. The danger detection unit can also analyze, for example, the position and speed of a vehicle that suddenly brakes and issue a warning to the driver. This makes it possible to quickly issue a warning to a vehicle that suddenly brakes.
[0031] The hazard detection unit can detect lane departure, rapidly approaching vehicles, and pedestrians running out into the lane, and issue a warning to the driver. The hazard detection unit, for example, detects lane departure and issues a warning to the driver. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it detects lane departure and issues an audio or visual warning to the driver. In addition, the hazard detection unit, for example, detects rapidly approaching vehicles and issues a warning to the driver. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it detects rapidly approaching vehicles and issues an audio or visual warning to the driver. In addition, the hazard detection unit, for example, detects pedestrians running out into the lane and issues a warning to the driver. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it detects pedestrians running out into the lane, and issues an audio or visual warning to the driver. This makes it possible to quickly issue a warning to lane departure, rapidly approaching vehicles, and pedestrians running out into the lane.
[0032] The video analysis unit can dynamically adjust risk assessment based on specific driving risks according to weather and time of day. The video analysis unit, for example, acquires weather information in real time and dynamically adjusts risk assessment taking into account specific driving risks, such as on rainy or snowy days. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it acquires weather information and evaluates the risk of slipping higher in rainy weather and issues a warning to the driver. The video analysis unit also dynamically adjusts risk assessment taking into account driving risks according to time of day, for example. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it dynamically adjusts risk assessment taking into account driving risks during specific time periods, such as at night or during rush hour. This allows for dynamic adjustment of risk assessment according to weather and time of day.
[0033] The video analysis unit can perform risk assessment based on the driver's individual driving style, based on the driver's past driving history. The video analysis unit, for example, refers to the driver's past driving history and performs risk assessment based on the frequency of sudden braking and sudden acceleration. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it refers to the driver's past driving history and issues an early warning to drivers who frequently brake suddenly. The video analysis unit also performs risk assessment based on the driver's driving style, for example. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it analyzes the driver's driving style and performs individual risk assessment. This makes it possible to perform risk assessment based on the driver's past driving history.
[0034] The video analysis unit integrates vehicle sensor data to perform more accurate driving situation evaluations. The video analysis unit, for example, integrates vehicle speed sensor data to evaluate sudden braking and sudden acceleration situations in real time. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it integrates vehicle speed sensor data and issues a warning to the driver if sudden braking occurs. The video analysis unit also integrates vehicle brake pressure sensor data to evaluate braking strength in real time. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it integrates vehicle brake pressure sensor data and issues a warning to the driver if sudden braking occurs. The video analysis unit also integrates vehicle acceleration sensor data to evaluate sudden acceleration situations in real time. For example, when the generation AI analyzes video data, it integrates vehicle acceleration sensor data and issues a warning to the driver if sudden acceleration occurs. This allows for more accurate driving situation evaluations by integrating vehicle sensor data.
[0035] The video analysis unit uploads the results of the video analysis to the cloud and integrates them with data from other vehicles to evaluate the traffic conditions throughout the region in real time. For example, the video analysis unit uploads the results of the generation AI's analysis of video data to the cloud and integrates them with data from other vehicles to evaluate the traffic conditions throughout the region in real time. For example, the generation AI uploads the results of the video analysis to the cloud and integrates them with data from other vehicles to share congestion and accident information. In addition, the video analysis unit, for example, uploads the results of the generation AI's analysis of video data to the cloud and integrates them with data from other vehicles to build a system that evaluates the traffic conditions throughout the region in real time. For example, the generation AI uploads the results of the video analysis to the cloud and integrates them with data from other vehicles to evaluate the traffic conditions throughout the region in real time and provide appropriate driving advice to the driver. This enables the traffic conditions throughout the region to be evaluated in real time.
[0036] The hazard detection unit can issue an early warning based on the driver's reaction time. For example, when the generation AI detects a hazard, the hazard detection unit takes the driver's reaction time into consideration and issues an early warning. For example, the generation AI analyzes the driver's reaction time and issues an earlier warning than usual in situations where sudden braking is required. In addition, the hazard detection unit builds a system in which the generation AI takes the driver's reaction time into consideration and issues an earlier warning. For example, the generation AI analyzes the driver's reaction time and issues an earlier warning than usual in situations where sudden braking is required. In addition, the hazard detection unit develops an algorithm in which the generation AI takes the driver's reaction time into consideration and issues an earlier warning. For example, the generation AI analyzes the driver's reaction time and issues an earlier warning than usual in situations where sudden braking is required. In this way, it is possible to issue an earlier warning taking the driver's reaction time into consideration.
[0037] The hazard detection unit works in cooperation with an automatic braking system and can automatically apply the brakes as necessary. For example, when the generating AI detects a hazard, the hazard detection unit works in cooperation with an automatic braking system and automatically applies the brakes as necessary. For example, if the generating AI makes an unexpected stop in the vehicle ahead, the automatic braking will be activated. In addition, the hazard detection unit works in cooperation with an automatic braking system and builds a system that automatically applies the brakes as necessary when the generating AI detects a hazard. For example, if the generating AI makes an unexpected stop in the vehicle ahead, the automatic braking will be activated. In addition, the hazard detection unit works in cooperation with an automatic braking system and develops an algorithm that automatically applies the brakes as necessary when the generating AI detects a hazard. For example, if the generating AI makes an unexpected stop in the vehicle ahead, the automatic braking will be activated. This makes it possible to automatically apply the brakes as necessary.
[0038] The danger detection unit sends a warning to the driver's smartphone, urging caution even when not driving. For example, when the generation AI detects a danger, the danger detection unit sends a warning to the driver's smartphone, urging caution even when not driving. For example, the generation AI issues a warning if there is a risk of the vehicle being stolen while parked. In addition, the danger detection unit will build a system that sends a warning to the driver's smartphone when the generation AI detects a danger, urging caution even when not driving. For example, the generation AI issues a warning if there is a risk of the vehicle being stolen while parked. In addition, the danger detection unit will develop an algorithm that sends a warning to the driver's smartphone when the generation AI detects a danger, urging caution even when not driving. For example, the generation AI issues a warning if there is a risk of the vehicle being stolen while parked. This will enable caution even when not driving.
[0039] The video analysis unit can evaluate road congestion conditions in real time and propose routes to avoid congestion. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the driving situation, the video analysis unit evaluates road congestion conditions in real time and proposes routes to avoid congestion. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the driving situation, the video analysis unit evaluates road congestion conditions in real time and proposes routes that avoid roads where congestion occurs. Furthermore, the video analysis unit, for example, constructs a system that evaluates road congestion conditions in real time when the generation AI analyzes the driving situation and proposes routes to avoid congestion.

For example, when the generation AI analyzes the driving situation, the video analysis unit evaluates road congestion conditions in real time and proposes routes that avoid roads where congestion occurs. This makes it possible to evaluate road congestion conditions in real time and propose routes to avoid congestion.
[0040] The video analysis unit can provide advice to promote eco-driving based on the vehicle's fuel efficiency data. For example, when the generating AI analyzes the driving situation, the video analysis unit takes the vehicle's fuel efficiency data into consideration and provides advice to promote eco-driving. For example, when the generating AI analyzes the driving situation, the generating AI takes the vehicle's fuel efficiency data into consideration and suggests avoiding sudden acceleration.

In this way, advice to promote eco-driving can be provided by taking the vehicle's fuel efficiency data into consideration.

[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0050] The driving assistance system may further include a health management unit that monitors the driver's health condition. The health management unit, for example, measures the driver's heart rate and blood pressure in real time and issues a warning if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the heart rate rises suddenly, the health management unit issues a warning urging the driver to take a break. Furthermore, if the driver's blood pressure is high, for example, the health management unit issues a warning urging the driver to stop driving.

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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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).
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
