[0028] (Example 1) The communication optimization system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI on the receiver side to analyze data and feeds the results back to the sender in order to improve the efficiency of data communication from low-spec IoT devices. This solves the communication path capacity problem that comes with the increase in IoT devices, and is expected to expand the scope of voice, image, and video data.
[0029] A communication optimization system according to an embodiment includes a data acquisition unit, a data analysis unit, and a feedback unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data from a low-spec IoT device. For example, the data acquisition unit collects sensor data from the IoT device. The data acquisition unit can also acquire data via a network. The data acquisition unit can also convert the data into an appropriate format depending on the type of data. For example, the data acquisition unit acquires data from a temperature sensor and converts it into an appropriate format. The data analysis unit analyzes the data acquired by the data acquisition unit using a generation AI. For example, the data analysis unit extracts data features using a generation AI (e.g., a text generation AI or a multimodal generation AI). The data analysis unit can also derive data compression parameters using the generation AI. The data analysis unit can also select an optimal compression method depending on the type of data. For example, the data analysis unit selects an optimal compression method for voice data. The feedback unit feeds back the results of the analysis by the data analysis unit to the sender. For example, the feedback unit transmits the compression parameters to the sender. The feedback unit can also notify the sender of the data compression method. The feedback unit can also provide the sender with feedback content in real time. For example, the feedback unit can provide the sender with compression parameters in real time. This allows the communication optimization system according to the embodiment to improve the efficiency of data communication from low-spec IoT devices and solve the communication path capacity problem.
[0030] The data analysis unit can capture data characteristics and derive optimal compression parameters. The data analysis unit, for example, uses a generation AI to extract data characteristics. For example, the generation AI analyzes data patterns and statistical characteristics. The data analysis unit can also derive optimal compression parameters depending on the type of data. For example, the data analysis unit derives optimal compression parameters for voice data. The data analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the data compression rate.

For example, the feedback unit transmits the compression parameters obtained on the receiver side to the sender side IoT terminal. For example, the feedback unit provides the compression parameters to the sender side in real time. The feedback unit can also automatically apply the compression parameters to the sender side IoT terminal. For example, the feedback unit automatically applies the compression parameters to the sender side IoT terminal and compresses data using the parameters the next time data is transmitted. In this way, transmitting the compression parameters obtained on the receiver side to the sender side IoT terminal enables optimal compression the next time data is transmitted.
[0032] The data acquisition unit can acquire at least one of audio data, image data, and video data. The data acquisition unit acquires, for example, audio data.

In this way, by acquiring at least one of audio data, image data, and video data, it is possible to apply the optimal compression method to different types of data.
[0033] The data analysis unit can dynamically adjust the data compression rate. The data analysis unit adjusts the compression rate, for example, depending on the load status of the communication path. For example, the data analysis unit increases the compression rate when the communication path is congested and decreases the compression rate when the communication path is clear. The data analysis unit can also adjust the compression rate depending on the type of data. For example, the data analysis unit sets an optimal compression rate for voice data. In this way, the data compression rate can be dynamically adjusted, further improving communication efficiency.
[0034] The data acquisition unit can dynamically adjust the communication frequency of each IoT terminal. For example, the data acquisition unit monitors the communication frequency of each IoT terminal in real time and dynamically adjusts it according to the load status of the communication path. For example, the data acquisition unit reduces the communication frequency when the communication path is congested and increases the communication frequency when the communication path is empty. The data acquisition unit can also automatically adjust the communication frequency of each IoT terminal. For example, the data acquisition unit automatically adjusts the communication frequency based on the load status of the communication path. In this way, the load on the communication path can be optimized in real time by dynamically adjusting the communication frequency of each IoT terminal.
[0035] The data acquisition unit can predict the capacity of the communication path and automatically adjust the communication schedule based on the prediction result. For example, in order to predict the capacity of the communication path, the data acquisition unit analyzes past communication data and develops an algorithm that predicts future communication load. For example, the data acquisition unit predicts communication load at peak times based on past communication patterns. The data acquisition unit can also automatically adjust the communication schedule based on the prediction result. For example, the data acquisition unit predicts the capacity of the communication path and automatically adjusts the communication schedule based on the prediction result. In this way, by predicting the capacity of the communication path and automatically adjusting the communication schedule, communication efficiency can be maximized.

In this way, by visualizing the capacity of the communication path, the user can intuitively understand the communication status.
[0037] The data acquisition unit can automatically select different communication protocols and ensure the optimal communication path. The data acquisition unit, for example, develops an algorithm that automatically selects different communication protocols and builds a system that ensures the optimal communication path. For example, the data acquisition unit switches between protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular communication depending on the situation. The data acquisition unit can also select the optimal communication protocol depending on the situation of the communication path. For example, the data acquisition unit selects cellular communication when the communication path is congested, and selects Wi-Fi when it is clear. In this way, the optimal communication path can be ensured by automatically selecting different communication protocols.
[0038] The data analysis unit distributes the compression process, allowing multiple terminals to cooperate to perform compression. The data analysis unit develops, for example, a system in which multiple terminals cooperate to perform compression in order to distribute the compression process. For example, the data analysis unit compresses data partially at each terminal and integrates the final compression results. The data analysis unit can also automatically assign tasks for distributed processing. For example, the data analysis unit assigns tasks according to the processing capacity of each terminal. In this way, by distributing the compression process, multiple terminals can cooperate to perform compression.

For example, the data analysis unit develops the optimal compression method for audio data, image data, and video data in order to apply the compression algorithm to different data formats. For example, the data analysis unit applies an audio codec to audio data and an image compression algorithm to image data. The data analysis unit can also develop a general-purpose compression algorithm for different data formats. For example, the data analysis unit applies a common compression algorithm to audio, image, and video data. This allows the compression algorithm to be applied to different data formats, thereby increasing versatility.
[0040] The data analysis unit performs compression processing on the cloud, thereby reducing the load on low-spec devices. For example, to perform compression processing on the cloud, the data analysis unit constructs a system in which data is sent from low-spec devices to the cloud and compression processing is performed on the cloud. For example, the data analysis unit compresses data using generative AI on a cloud server. The data analysis unit can also optimize the compression processing on the cloud.

In this way, by performing compression processing on the cloud, the load on low-spec devices can be reduced.
[0041] The data analysis unit can perform data analysis on the receiver side in real time and provide instant feedback to the sender. For example, the data analysis unit develops a system that uses a high-performance server or cloud environment to perform data analysis on the receiver side in real time. For example, the data analysis unit can instantly analyze received data and provide feedback to the sender. The data analysis unit can also optimize real-time data analysis. For example, the data analysis unit can improve the processing speed of the algorithm to achieve real-time data analysis. This allows data analysis on the receiver side to be performed in real time and provides instant feedback, thereby improving the efficiency of communication.
[0042] The data analysis unit accumulates data analysis results and can predict optimal compression parameters based on past data. The data analysis unit, for example, accumulates data analysis results and develops an algorithm that predicts optimal compression parameters based on past data. For example, the data analysis unit analyzes past communication data and derives optimal compression parameters. The data analysis unit can also dynamically adjust compression parameters based on accumulated data. For example, the data analysis unit adjusts compression parameters in real time based on past data. In this way, by accumulating data analysis results and predicting optimal compression parameters based on past data, communication efficiency is improved.
[0043] The data analysis unit can share the data analysis results on the receiver side with other IoT devices, thereby improving overall communication efficiency.

For example, the feedback unit provides an interface that is easy for the user to use. In this way, by visualizing the content of the feedback, the user can intuitively understand it.
[0048] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0049] The data acquisition unit can acquire environmental data and dynamically adjust communication parameters in response to changes in the environment. For example, the data acquisition unit collects environmental data such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure, and adjusts communication parameters based on this data. The data acquisition unit can also monitor environmental data in real time and respond to sudden environmental changes. For example, the data acquisition unit immediately adjusts communication parameters when a sudden temperature change is detected. This makes it possible to improve communication stability and efficiency by dynamically adjusting communication parameters based on environmental data.
[0050] The data analysis unit can evaluate the security level of the data and perform encryption as necessary. For example, the data analysis unit applies a strong encryption algorithm to highly confidential data. The data analysis unit can also select an appropriate encryption method depending on the type of data. For example, an encryption algorithm specifically for audio data can be applied to audio data, and an encryption algorithm specifically for images can be applied to image data. This makes it possible to improve communication efficiency while ensuring data security.
[0051] The feedback unit can provide feedback in multiple languages to accommodate users who speak different languages.

This can improve user convenience by providing feedback in multiple languages.
[0052] The data acquisition unit can monitor the power status of each IoT device and adjust the communication frequency to optimize energy consumption. For example, the data acquisition unit can reduce the communication frequency of devices with low battery levels, thereby reducing power consumption. The data acquisition unit can also increase the communication frequency when the power supply is stable. For example, devices connected to a power source will communicate more frequently. This optimizes energy consumption and extends the battery life of IoT devices.
[0053] The data analysis unit can use a combination of different compression algorithms depending on the type of data. For example, a compression algorithm specifically for audio data can be applied to audio data, and a compression algorithm specifically for images can be applied to image data. The data analysis unit can also use a combination of multiple compression algorithms. For example, when audio data and image data are mixed, the optimal compression algorithm can be applied to each data type, improving the overall compression efficiency. This allows for optimal compression depending on the type of data, improving communication efficiency.

The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0125] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 may also have a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.
[0126] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0127] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0128] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. 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.

[0142] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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).
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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."
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.

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.
