[0028] (Example 1) The medical institution recommendation system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that recommends the most suitable medical institution based on the user's wishes and symptoms, and provides treatment methods and related information tailored to the symptoms. As a result, the medical institution recommendation system reduces the user's anxiety and enables the user to select the most suitable medical institution.

[0029] The medical institution suggestion system according to the embodiment includes a user input unit, an information analysis unit, a medical institution suggestion unit, and a remedy provision unit. The user input unit inputs a user's wishes and symptoms. For example, the user can input "I have a severe headache." The user input unit can also input "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor." The user input unit can also input "I have a skin rash." The information analysis unit analyzes the information input by the user input unit. For example, the information analysis unit analyzes the user's input using text analysis technology. The information analysis unit can also analyze the user's input using data mining technology. The information analysis unit can also analyze the user's input using a machine learning algorithm. The medical institution suggestion unit proposes candidate medical institutions based on the results of the analysis by the information analysis unit. For example, the medical institution suggestion unit proposes candidate medical institutions based on distance. The medical institution suggestion unit can also propose candidate medical institutions based on specialty fields. The medical institution suggestion unit can also propose candidate medical institutions based on evaluations. The remedy provision unit provides remedy measures and related information tailored to the symptoms based on the results of the analysis by the information analysis unit. For example, the remedy providing unit provides information on treatment methods. The remedy providing unit can also provide information on preventive measures. The remedy providing unit can also provide information on reference materials. As a result, the medical institution recommendation system according to the embodiment can reduce the user's anxiety by recommending the most appropriate medical institution based on the user's wishes and symptoms and providing remedy methods and related information tailored to the symptoms.

[0030] The user input unit can ask questions in real time in response to the user's input to extract more detailed information. For example, if the user inputs "I have a severe headache," the generation AI will ask follow-up questions in real time, such as "How often do you have headaches?" and "How severe is the pain?" If the user inputs "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the generation AI will ask questions to extract more detailed information, such as "Where exactly do you live?" and "What are your preferred consultation hours?" If the user inputs "I have a skin rash," the generation AI will ask follow-up questions in real time, such as "How widespread is the rash?" and "Do you have any itching or pain?" to collect more detailed information. By asking questions in real time in response to the user's input, more detailed information can be collected, enabling more accurate medical institution recommendations.

[0031] The information analysis unit analyzes the user's input and can provide more accurate information based on the user's past medical history and family medical history. For example, if the user inputs "I have a severe headache," the generation AI will refer to the user's past medical history to determine whether the user has previously experienced similar symptoms. For example, if the user has been diagnosed with migraines, the generation AI will take that information into account when providing advice. If the user inputs "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the generation AI will refer to the user's family medical history and consider genetic factors to suggest an appropriate medical institution. For example, if there is a family history of diabetes, the generation AI will suggest an internal medicine specialist based on that information. If the user inputs "I have a skin rash," the generation AI will consider the user's past medical history and family medical history to evaluate the possibility of allergies or skin diseases. For example, if the user has had an allergic reaction in the past, the generation AI will provide advice based on that information. This allows for more accurate medical institution recommendations by taking into account the user's past medical history and family medical history.

[0032] The user input unit can use voice or image input to allow the user to describe their symptoms more specifically. For example, when a user voice-inputs, "I have a severe headache," the generation AI uses voice recognition technology to convert the user's speech into text and collect more detailed information. For example, it asks a follow-up question, such as, "How often do you have headaches?" When a user voice-inputs, "I have a skin rash," the generation AI uses image recognition technology to analyze the condition of the rash and provide appropriate advice. For example, it asks a follow-up question, such as, "How widespread is the rash?" When a user voice-inputs, "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the generation AI uses voice recognition technology to convert the user's speech into text and collect more detailed information. For example, it asks a follow-up question, such as, "Where exactly do you live?" By using voice or image input, the user can describe their symptoms more specifically, enabling more accurate medical institution recommendations.

[0033] The information analysis unit collects data on the user's lifestyle and daily activities and can recommend medical institutions based on that information. For example, if a user inputs "I have a severe headache," the generation AI collects the user's lifestyle data (e.g., sleep patterns and eating habits) and suggests an appropriate medical institution based on that data. For example, if lack of sleep is thought to be the cause, the generation AI suggests a medical institution specializing in sleep. If a user inputs "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the generation AI collects the user's daily activity data (e.g., exercise habits and stress level) and suggests an appropriate medical institution based on that data. For example, if stress is high, the generation AI suggests an internal medicine doctor specializing in stress management. If a user inputs "I have a skin rash," the generation AI collects the user's lifestyle data (e.g., the cosmetics and detergents they use) and suggests an appropriate medical institution based on that data. For example, it suggests a dermatologist specializing in allergies. This allows the generation AI to suggest more appropriate medical institutions by taking into account the user's lifestyle and daily activity data.

[0034] The information analysis unit can introduce a scoring system to evaluate the reliability of information when analyzing reviews or expert information. For example, the generation AI collects information from online review sites and introduces a scoring system to evaluate the reliability of each review. For example, the information analysis unit calculates a score based on the reliability of the review poster and the specificity of the posted content. The information analysis unit also collects evaluation data from medical experts and introduces a scoring system to evaluate the reliability of each expert. For example, the score is calculated based on the expert's qualifications, years of experience, and past evaluations. To evaluate the reliability of reviews and expert information, the generation AI analyzes the source of the information, the posting date and time, and the consistency of the content, and calculates an overall reliability score. For example, information from multiple reliable sources is prioritized. In this way, by introducing a scoring system to evaluate the reliability of reviews and expert information, it is possible to provide users with highly reliable information.

[0035] The information analysis unit analyzes reviews or expert information in multiple languages ​​and can provide evaluations from an international perspective. For example, the generation AI collects information from a multilingual review site and analyzes reviews in each language. For example, it analyzes reviews in English, French, Chinese, etc. and provides evaluations from an international perspective. The information analysis unit also collects evaluation data from medical experts in multiple languages ​​and analyzes the evaluations in each language. For example, it analyzes evaluations in English, Spanish, Japanese, etc. and provides evaluations from an international perspective. The generation AI also analyzes multilingual reviews and expert information and provides optimal information according to the user's language settings. For example, if the user selects English, English reviews and evaluations are displayed preferentially. This makes it possible to provide evaluations from an international perspective by performing analysis in multiple languages.

[0036] The information analysis unit can visualize reviews or expert information to enable users to intuitively understand. For example, the generation AI collects information from review sites and visualizes the content of reviews. For example, it displays the number of stars in ratings and positive comments in graphs and charts. The information analysis unit also visualizes evaluation data from medical experts to enable users to intuitively understand. For example, it displays expert evaluations in radar charts and heat maps. The information analysis unit also analyzes reviews and expert information using the generation AI and visualizes it to enable users to intuitively understand. For example, it graphically displays evaluation trends and major keywords. In this way, visualizing the information makes it easier for users to intuitively understand.

[0037] The medical institution suggestion unit can suggest the most suitable medical institution based on past patient treatment results and satisfaction. For example, the generation AI collects past patient treatment result data and suggests the most suitable medical institution by taking into consideration the treatment success rate and patient satisfaction. For example, it prioritizes suggesting medical institutions with a high treatment success rate. The medical institution suggestion unit also analyzes patient satisfaction data and suggests medical institutions with high satisfaction. For example, it lists medical institutions with high satisfaction based on patient reviews and survey results. The generation AI also comprehensively evaluates past patient treatment results and satisfaction data and suggests the most suitable medical institution. For example, it prioritizes suggesting medical institutions with both a high treatment success rate and high satisfaction. This makes it possible to suggest more appropriate medical institutions by taking past patient treatment results and satisfaction into consideration.

[0038] The medical institution suggestion unit can automatically collect detailed information about the proposed medical institutions (for example, the doctor's specialty or treatment record) and provide it to the user. For example, the generation AI automatically collects detailed information about the proposed medical institutions and provides it to the user. For example, it lists the doctor's specialty and treatment record. The medical institution suggestion unit also collects profiles and past treatment records of the doctors at the proposed medical institutions and provides them to the user. For example, it displays the doctor's career and specialty in detail. The medical institution suggestion unit also automatically collects detailed information about the proposed medical institutions and provides it to the user. For example, it provides information about the medical institution's facilities and treatment methods. In this way, by automatically collecting detailed information about the proposed medical institutions, reference information can be provided to the user when selecting a medical institution.

[0039] The medical institution suggestion unit can propose an optimal route based on the transportation means and required time based on the location information of the proposed medical institution. For example, the medical institution suggestion unit proposes a route that takes into account the optimal transportation means and required time based on the location information of the medical institution proposed by the generation AI. For example, it displays how to use public transportation and the required time. The medical institution suggestion unit also proposes an optimal route from the user's current location based on the location information of the proposed medical institution. For example, it provides information on travel time by car and parking. The medical institution suggestion unit also proposes an optimal route that takes into account the transportation means and required time based on the location information of the medical institution proposed by the generation AI. For example, it displays travel time by walking or cycling. In this way, user convenience is improved by proposing an optimal route that takes into account the transportation means and required time.

[0040] The medical institution suggestion unit can visualize past patient reviews of the proposed medical institution, allowing the user to intuitively understand the ratings. For example, the medical institution suggestion unit collects and visualizes past patient reviews of the medical institution proposed by the generation AI. For example, it displays the number of stars in the rating and positive comments in graphs and charts. The medical institution suggestion unit also visualizes patient reviews of the proposed medical institution, allowing the user to intuitively understand the ratings. For example, it graphically displays rating trends and major keywords. The medical institution suggestion unit also visualizes past patient reviews of the medical institution proposed by the generation AI, allowing the user to intuitively understand the ratings. For example, it displays the distribution of ratings and positive comments in a heat map. In this way, visualizing past patient reviews makes it easier for the user to intuitively understand the ratings.

[0041] The solution provider can provide optimal solutions to symptoms based on the latest medical research and guidelines. For example, the AI ​​generator collects the latest medical research and guidelines and provides optimal solutions to the user's symptoms. For example, it provides specific advice such as, "If you have a severe headache, it's important to get plenty of rest first." The solution provider also provides optimal solutions to the user's symptoms based on the latest medical research and guidelines. For example, it provides specific advice such as, "If you have a skin rash, it's recommended that you avoid certain foods and cosmetics as they may be an allergy." The solution provider also provides optimal solutions to the user's symptoms based on the latest medical research and guidelines. For example, it provides specific advice such as, "If you're looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor, it's recommended that you first have an online initial consultation." This allows the system to provide users with reliable information by providing solutions based on the latest medical research and guidelines.

[0042] The solution provision unit can provide solutions to the user's symptoms as videos or interactive content, thereby deepening understanding. In the solution provision unit, for example, the generation AI provides solutions to the user's symptoms as videos. For example, a video explaining "relaxation methods for when you have a severe headache." In addition, the solution provision unit can provide solutions to the user's symptoms as interactive content. For example, a video explaining "what to do if you have a skin rash." In addition, the solution provision unit can provide solutions to the user's symptoms as videos or interactive content, thereby deepening understanding. For example, a video explaining "the process for an initial consultation when looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor." In this way, the use of videos and interactive content can deepen the user's understanding.

[0043] The remedy provision unit can provide remedies for symptoms from different cultural or regional perspectives, presenting the user with a variety of options. For example, the generating AI in the remedy provision unit provides remedies for symptoms from different cultural or regional perspectives. For example, it may introduce "Oriental medicine remedies for severe headaches." The generating AI may also provide remedies for symptoms from different cultural or regional perspectives, presenting the user with a variety of options. For example, it may introduce "traditional African medicine remedies for skin rashes." The generating AI may also provide remedies for symptoms from different cultural or regional perspectives, presenting the user with a variety of options. For example, it may introduce "European medical systems when looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor." This allows the user to be presented with a variety of options by providing remedies from different cultural or regional perspectives.

[0044] The solution provision unit can link information about solutions with the user's lifestyle and daily activity data to individually optimize the solutions. For example, the solution provision unit uses a generation AI to collect the user's lifestyle data (e.g., sleep patterns and eating habits) and individually optimize solutions to symptoms based on that data. For example, it provides specific advice such as, "If you have severe headaches, it is recommended that you get more sleep." The solution provision unit also uses a generation AI to collect the user's daily activity data (e.g., exercise habits and stress levels) and individually optimize solutions to symptoms based on that data. For example, it provides specific advice such as, "If you have a skin rash, it is recommended that you avoid certain exercises." The solution provision unit also uses a generation AI to link the user's lifestyle and daily activity data to individually optimize solutions to symptoms. For example, it provides specific advice such as, "If you are looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor, we will suggest the best appointment times based on your daily activity data." By linking the solution provision unit with the user's lifestyle and daily activity data, it is possible to provide individually optimized solutions.

[0045] The remedy providing unit allows the generating AI to provide individually optimized medical information based on the user's past search history and medical history.

[0094] The information analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotion of the user when inputting information in real time and provide an interface that corresponds to the user's emotion. For example, when a user inputs "I have a bad headache," the emotion estimation function can analyze the user's stress level in real time and provide an interface for relaxation, for example, by displaying calming music or images with a relaxing effect. Also, when a user inputs "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the emotion estimation function can analyze the user's anxiety in real time and provide an interface that gives a sense of security. In this way, the user's emotional state is analyzed in real time and an interface that elicits positive emotions is provided, thereby increasing the user's sense of security.

[0095] The information analysis unit can collect the user's exercise data and suggest medical institutions based on that. For example, if the user inputs "I have a severe headache," the generation AI will collect the user's exercise data and, if it thinks that a lack of exercise is the cause, it can suggest medical institutions that provide exercise instruction. Also, if the user inputs "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the generation AI will collect the user's exercise data and suggest appropriate medical institutions based on the user's exercise habits. This makes it possible to suggest medical institutions that take the user's exercise data into consideration.

[0096] The information analysis unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional tone of reviews and prioritize displaying positive reviews. For example, the generation AI collects information from review sites and uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional tone of the reviews. For example, reviews with positive emotions ("satisfied" and "gratitude") are prioritized for display. The information analysis unit also analyzes evaluation data from medical experts and uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional tone of the evaluations. For example, positive evaluations ("trustworthy" and "excellent technology") are prioritized for display. The information analysis unit also analyzes reviews and expert information using the emotion estimation function to prioritize displaying information with positive emotions. For example, positive evaluations such as "friendly service" and "effective treatment" are highlighted. This prioritizes displaying positive evaluations, giving users a sense of security.

[0097] The information analysis unit can collect the user's sleep data and suggest medical institutions based on that. For example, if a user inputs "I have a severe headache," the generation AI will collect the user's sleep data and, if it thinks that lack of sleep is the cause, it can suggest a medical institution specializing in sleep. Also, if a user inputs "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor," the generation AI will collect the user's sleep data and suggest an appropriate medical institution based on their sleeping habits. This makes it possible to suggest medical institutions that take the user's sleep data into consideration.

[0098] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0099] Step 1: The user input section inputs the user's wishes and symptoms. For example, the user can input "I have a bad headache." The user can also input "I'm looking for a nearby internal medicine doctor." The user can also input "I have a skin rash." Step 2: The information analysis unit analyzes the information input by the user input unit. For example, the information analysis unit analyzes the user's input using text analysis technology, data mining technology, or machine learning algorithms. Step 3: The medical institution suggestion unit suggests medical institution candidates based on the results of the analysis by the information analysis unit, for example, based on distance, specialty, and rating. Step 4: The remedy provider provides symptom-specific remedies and related information based on the results of the analysis by the information analyzer, such as information on treatments, preventive measures, and reference materials.

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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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).

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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."

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.
