[0028] (Example 1) The abandoned property detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses image recognition AI to solve the problem of users forgetting or losing personal belongings in public places, offices, commercial facilities, etc. This system constantly monitors the space using surveillance cameras and dedicated sensors, and the AI analyzes people's movements and belongings. This allows the abandoned property detection system to quickly find forgotten or lost items and assist in their return.
[0029] An abandoned property detection system according to an embodiment includes a surveillance camera, a dedicated sensor, a generation AI, and a notification unit. The surveillance camera constantly monitors spaces such as public places, offices, and commercial facilities. For example, it constantly monitors people's movements and the locations of their belongings within the area where the surveillance camera is installed. The dedicated sensor detects movement within the space. For example, a motion detection sensor detects people's movements and determines the location of their belongings. The generation AI analyzes video data acquired from the surveillance camera or the dedicated sensor to analyze people's movements and the locations of their belongings. For example, the generation AI analyzes video data to recognize belongings such as a bag or umbrella carried by a specific person and track their location. The generation AI also automatically detects and recognizes objects that remain stationary in the same place for a certain period of time (e.g., 30 minutes). For example, the generation AI analyzes video data to detect belongings such as a bag or umbrella that have been left in the same place for 30 minutes or more. The notification unit notifies facility managers, etc., of abandoned property detected by the generation AI in real time. For example, the AI can notify the manager of the location and type of abandoned items detected by the AI, prompting a prompt response. As a result, the abandoned item detection system according to the embodiment can quickly find forgotten or lost items and help return them. For example, if a user leaves a bag behind, the AI can detect the bag and notify the manager, allowing it to be quickly returned to the owner.

For example, it can link with systems at stations and airports to share information about belongings. This allows for return support over a wide area by linking with other facilities.
[0040] The return support system can be linked with a guidance system within a facility and automatically provide guidance if a user leaves their belongings behind. For example, the return support system can link a lost or forgotten item return support system with a guidance system within a facility and automatically provide guidance if a user leaves their belongings behind. For example, the location of the belongings can be displayed on the guidance system. In this way, by linking with the guidance system, guidance can be automatically provided if a user leaves their belongings behind.
[0041] Generative AI can analyze the shape and material of suspicious objects in detail, improving the accuracy of identifying dangerous objects. For example, generative AI can analyze video data from surveillance cameras and analyze the shape and material of suspicious objects in detail. For example, it can detect metal objects or objects with specific shapes. This improves the accuracy of identifying dangerous objects by analyzing the shape and material of suspicious objects in detail.
[0042] The generation AI can link the results of suspicious object monitoring with other security systems to implement a comprehensive security response. For example, the generation AI can link the results of suspicious object monitoring with an alarm system to implement a comprehensive security response. For example, it can notify the alarm system of information about detected suspicious objects. This makes it possible to implement a comprehensive security response by linking with other security systems.
[0043] The generation AI can link the results of on-street parking detection with a traffic management system, making it possible to more efficiently crack down on illegal parking. For example, the generation AI can link the results of on-street parking detection with a traffic management system, making it possible to more efficiently crack down on illegal parking. For example, it can notify the traffic management system of information about detected vehicles. This makes it possible to more efficiently crack down on illegal parking by linking it with the traffic management system.
[0044] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0045] The abandoned item detection system can further include a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor, for example, detects temperature changes in the space and detects abnormal temperature increases or decreases. This allows for quick action to be taken if there is a risk of fire from abandoned items or if items that require cooling are left unattended. For example, if the temperature sensor detects an abnormal temperature increase, it can notify the manager, which can help prevent fires. In addition, if medicines or food that require cooling are left unattended, the temperature sensor can detect the abnormality and prompt appropriate action.
[0046] The abandoned item detection system can further include a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor, for example, detects humidity changes in the space and detects abnormal increases or decreases in humidity. This allows for quick action to be taken when humidity-sensitive items are left unattended. For example, if the humidity sensor detects an abnormal increase in humidity, it can notify a manager, which can help protect items that require humidity control. In addition, if the humidity drops too low, the humidity sensor can detect the abnormality and prompt appropriate action.
[0047] The abandoned item detection system can further include an odor sensor. The odor sensor can, for example, detect abnormal odors in a space and help identify abandoned items. This allows for quick action when dangerous items such as spoiled food or chemicals are left behind.

In addition, the odor sensor can detect specific odors, making it easier to identify the type of abandoned item.
[0048] The abandoned item detection system can further include a vibration sensor. The vibration sensor can, for example, detect minute vibrations in a space and be useful in identifying abandoned items. This allows for quick action to be taken when items that have been moved due to an earthquake or impact are left abandoned. For example, if the vibration sensor detects abnormal vibrations, it can notify a manager and prompt them to check the items after the earthquake or to dispose of any items damaged by the impact. In addition, the vibration sensor can detect specific vibration patterns, making it easier to identify the type of abandoned item.
[0049] The abandoned item detection system may further include an optical sensor. The optical sensor, for example, may detect changes in light within a space and help identify abandoned items. This allows for quick action to be taken when light-sensitive items are left unattended. For example, if the optical sensor detects an abnormal change in light, it may notify a manager, helping to protect the light-sensitive items. Furthermore, the optical sensor may detect specific light patterns, making it easier to identify the type of abandoned item.

[0083] The notification unit can analyze the emotions of the administrator who received the notification and provide feedback according to those emotions. For example, the notification unit can analyze the facial expression of the administrator who received the notification and estimate the emotion. For example, if an expression of surprise or anxiety is detected, it can provide feedback to reassure the administrator. In this way, by analyzing the emotions of the administrator and providing feedback according to those emotions, it is possible to reduce the administrator's anxiety. For example, it can provide a detailed explanation of the situation or clearly indicate the next response steps.
[0084] The notification unit can analyze the emotions of the manager who received the notification and provide support according to those emotions. For example, the notification unit can analyze the facial expression of the manager who received the notification and estimate the emotion. For example, if an expression of fatigue or lethargy is detected, support can be provided to encourage the manager to take a break. In this way, by analyzing the emotions of the manager and providing support according to those emotions, the fatigue of the manager can be reduced. For example, the notification unit can suggest taking a short break or introduce an activity to refresh the manager.
[0085] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0086] Step 1: Surveillance cameras constantly monitor spaces such as public places, offices, and commercial facilities. For example, they constantly monitor people's movements within the area where the cameras are installed and the locations of their belongings. Dedicated sensors detect movement within the space. For example, motion detection sensors detect people's movements and track the location of their belongings. Step 2: The generating AI analyzes video data acquired from surveillance cameras and dedicated sensors to analyze people's movements and the location of their belongings. For example, the generating AI analyzes video data to recognize belongings such as a bag or umbrella held by a specific person and track their location. The generating AI also automatically detects and recognizes objects that remain stationary in the same place for a certain period of time (e.g., 30 minutes) or more. For example, the generating AI analyzes video data to detect belongings such as a bag or umbrella that have been left in the same place for 30 minutes or more. Step 3: The notification unit notifies the facility manager or other person in real time of information about the abandoned item detected by the generation AI. For example, the AI may notify the manager of the location and type of the abandoned item detected, prompting a prompt response. This allows the abandoned item detection system according to the embodiment to quickly find forgotten or lost items and assist in their return. For example, if a user leaves a bag behind, the AI can detect the bag and notify the manager, allowing it to be quickly returned to the owner.

In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.
[0135] 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. 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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).
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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."
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
