[0028] (Example 1) The traffic accident reenactment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically recreates the situation of a traffic accident using information from a drive recorder and a driver's operation log, and visualizes it as CG. This makes it easier to visually understand the cause and situation of the accident.
[0029] A traffic accident reconstruction system according to an embodiment includes a video analysis unit, an operation log analysis unit, an accident reconstruction unit, and a visualization unit. The video analysis unit analyzes video data from a drive recorder. For example, the video analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the vehicle's position, speed, and surrounding conditions from the video data. The video analysis unit can also automatically recognize weather and road conditions from the video data. The operation log analysis unit analyzes the driver's operation log. For example, the operation log analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze accelerator and brake operation, steering wheel movement, and turn signal usage. The operation log analysis unit can also analyze the driver's driving style and reaction time from the operation log. The accident reconstruction unit recreates the accident situation based on the data analyzed by the video analysis unit and the operation log analysis unit. For example, the accident reconstruction unit recreates the vehicle's movement and surrounding conditions as CG using a generation AI. The accident reconstruction unit can also analyze the vehicle's dynamic behavior at the time of the accident based on the video data. The visualization unit visualizes the accident situation recreated by the accident reconstruction unit as CG. For example, the visualization unit uses the accident situation recreated using the generation AI as evidence to clarify the cause of the accident and who is responsible. The visualization unit can also be used as a tool for relevant organizations, such as insurance companies and police, to quickly and accurately understand the accident situation based on the recreated accident situation. This allows the traffic accident reconstruction system according to the embodiment to recreate the traffic accident situation in detail and make it visually easy to understand. For example, this can be used as evidence to clarify the cause of the accident, allowing relevant organizations, such as insurance companies and police, to quickly and accurately understand the accident situation. Furthermore, the driver can review the accident situation and use it to improve their future driving.
[0030] The video analysis unit can automatically recognize weather or road conditions from video data and consider them as factors in an accident. For example, the video analysis unit can use generative AI to automatically recognize weather (sunny, rainy, snowy, etc.) from video data from a dashcam and consider them as factors in an accident. For example, it can analyze visibility conditions and road surface reflections in the video. The video analysis unit can also automatically recognize road conditions (e.g., icy roads, traffic jams, construction work, etc.) and consider them as factors in an accident. This allows for a more accurate understanding of the causes of accidents by taking weather and road conditions into account.
[0031] The video analysis unit can analyze audio information included in the video data and recreate the acoustic environment at the time of the accident. For example, the video analysis unit analyzes audio information included in the video data and identifies the horn sound at the time of the accident. For example, it analyzes the audio waveform and extracts the frequency and volume of the horn. The video analysis unit can also analyze audio information such as the collision sound and the driver's voice and recreate the acoustic environment at the time of the accident. For example, it analyzes the intensity and direction of the collision sound. By recreating the acoustic environment in this way, the circumstances of the accident can be understood in more detail.
[0032] The video analysis unit can use video data to analyze the vehicle's maintenance status before and after the accident and consider it as a factor in the accident. For example, the video analysis unit analyzes video data to automatically recognize the vehicle's external condition (e.g., tire wear, damage to the body). For example, it can measure tire tread depth using image analysis technology. The video analysis unit can also analyze maintenance conditions such as the condition of the brakes and the condition of the engine and consider them as factors in the accident. For example, it can analyze the wear of brake pads and abnormal engine noises. By taking the vehicle's maintenance status into consideration, the factors in the accident can be more accurately identified.
[0033] The video analysis unit generates a 3D model of the accident scene based on the video data, allowing detailed reconstruction of the accident situation. The video analysis unit, for example, analyzes the video data and generates a 3D model of the accident scene. For example, it integrates images from multiple camera angles to create a three-dimensional model. The video analysis unit can also generate a detailed 3D model of the accident scene using point cloud data and mesh data. For example, it recreates the shapes of buildings and roads based on point cloud data. By generating a 3D model, detailed reconstruction of the accident situation can be visually reproduced.
[0034] The operation log analysis unit can analyze the driver's driving style from the operation log and consider it as a factor in the accident. For example, the operation log analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the frequency of the driver's sudden braking and sudden steering from the operation log. For example, it analyzes the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed and the angle at which the steering wheel is turned. The operation log analysis unit can also analyze the driver's acceleration and deceleration patterns to understand their driving style. For example, it analyzes the timing of acceleration and the method of deceleration. By taking driving style into consideration, it is possible to understand the factors behind the accident in more detail.
[0035] The operation log analysis unit can analyze the driver's reaction time based on the operation log and evaluate the appropriateness of the response when an accident occurs. The operation log analysis unit, for example, analyzes the driver's reaction time based on the operation log. For example, it measures the time from when the brake pedal is first pressed to when the vehicle actually decelerates. The operation log analysis unit can also analyze the reaction time of steering wheel operation and evaluate the appropriateness of the response. For example, it analyzes the time it takes to turn the steering wheel and the timing of evasive action. In this way, by evaluating the reaction time, it is possible to understand the appropriateness of the response when an accident occurs.
[0036] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0037] The traffic accident reconstruction system can further include an audio analysis unit.

[0041] The traffic accident reproduction system can further include a skill evaluation unit that evaluates the driver's driving skill. The skill evaluation unit can analyze the driver's driving skill and consider it as a factor in the accident. For example, the skill evaluation unit can analyze the accuracy of the driver's braking and steering operations to evaluate the driving skill.

Furthermore, if the education unit detects that the driver is impatient, it can provide educational content to encourage calm judgment. In this way, by providing driving education based on the driver's emotional state, it is possible to improve the driver's skills.
[0066] The traffic accident reproduction system can further include an advice unit that provides driving advice based on the driver's driving style. The advice unit can analyze the driver's driving style and provide appropriate driving advice. For example, the advice unit can analyze the frequency of the driver's sudden braking and sudden steering and provide advice on safe driving methods. The advice unit can also analyze the driver's acceleration and deceleration patterns and suggest fuel-efficient driving methods. In this way, by providing driving advice based on the driver's driving style, safe driving by the driver can be promoted.
[0067] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0068] Step 1: The video analysis unit analyzes the video data from the drive recorder. For example, the video analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the vehicle's position, speed, and surrounding conditions from the video data. The video analysis unit can also automatically recognize weather and road conditions from the video data. Step 2: The operation log analysis unit analyzes the driver's operation log. For example, the operation log analysis unit uses generation AI to analyze accelerator and brake operations, steering wheel movements, and turn signal usage. The operation log analysis unit can also analyze the driver's driving style and reaction time from the operation log. Step 3: The accident reconstruction unit recreates the accident situation based on the data analyzed by the video analysis unit and the operation log analysis unit. For example, the accident reconstruction unit uses generative AI to recreate the vehicle's movements and surrounding conditions as CG. The accident reconstruction unit can also analyze the dynamic behavior of the vehicle at the time of the accident based on the video data. Step 4: The visualization unit visualizes the accident situation recreated by the accident reconstruction unit as computer graphics. For example, the visualization unit can use the accident situation recreated using generative AI as evidence to clarify the cause of the accident and who is responsible. The visualization unit can also use the recreated accident situation as a tool for insurance companies, police, and other related organizations to quickly and accurately understand the accident situation.

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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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).
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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."
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
