[0028] (Example 1) The notification system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects information from multiple online sources, analyzes it using a generative AI, identifies potential threats, and prompts strategic responses. This allows company executives and marketers to quickly become aware of the emergence of potential competitors and take strategic responses.
[0029] A notification system according to an embodiment includes an information collection unit, an analysis unit, a warning unit, and a notification unit. The information collection unit collects information from multiple online sources. For example, it collects the latest industry trends from news sites. The information collection unit can also collect user reactions and trends from social media. The information collection unit can also collect information on new technologies and inventions from patent databases. For example, it collects articles on the latest industry trends and emerging companies from news sites and user reactions and trends from social media. It also collects information on new technologies and inventions from patent databases. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information collected by the information collection unit. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze news articles and social media posts. If there is a sudden increase in mentions of a particular company or technology, it determines that the company or technology is likely to be a potential threat. The generation AI also analyzes patent information to understand how new technologies are evolving. For example, the generation AI analyzes news articles and social media posts. If there is a sudden increase in mentions of a particular company or technology, it determines that the company or technology is likely to be a potential threat. The generative AI also analyzes patent information to understand how new technologies are evolving. The alerting unit identifies potential threats based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit and issues alerts. For example, if a specific startup company is growing rapidly, it will notify detailed information about that company. Also, if a new technology appears on the market and there is a possibility that that technology will compete, it will notify information about that technology. For example, if a specific startup company is growing rapidly, it will notify detailed information about that company. Also, if a new technology appears on the market and there is a possibility that that technology will compete, it will notify information about that technology. The notification unit notifies of alerts issued by the alerting unit. For example, the notification unit may send alerts to responsible personnel via email or push notification. The notification unit may also display alerts on a dashboard. For example, the notification unit may send alerts to responsible personnel via email or push notification. The notification unit may also display alerts on a dashboard.As a result, the notification system according to the embodiment can prompt strategic responses by identifying potential threats in a timely manner and issuing warnings. For example, by receiving a warning, a responsible person can take prompt strategic responses. In addition, the notification system can provide highly accurate analysis results because it analyzes information using generative AI. Furthermore, the notification system can provide comprehensive information because it collects information from multiple sources on the Internet.
[0030] The information gathering unit evaluates the reliability of the information to be collected and can prioritize the collection of only highly reliable information. For example, the information gathering unit calculates a reliability score for the information source in order for the generation AI to evaluate the reliability of information collected from news sites and social media. For example, it prioritizes the collection of information from highly reliable news sites and official accounts. In addition, the information gathering unit allows the generation AI to analyze the reliability of the source and author of the information in order to evaluate the reliability of the collected information. For example, it determines reliability based on past performance and evaluations. In addition, the information gathering unit analyzes the degree of agreement from multiple information sources in order for the generation AI to evaluate the reliability of the information. For example, if the same content is reported from multiple highly reliable information sources, it prioritizes the collection of that information. This prioritizes the collection of highly reliable information, improving the accuracy of the analysis results.
[0031] The information collection unit can also collect information from industry-specific forums or expert blogs. For example, the information collection unit monitors specific keywords and topics so that the generation AI can collect information from industry-specific forums. For example, it collects the latest discussions from technology and marketing forums. In addition, the information collection unit regularly checks the blogs of specific experts and influencers so that the generation AI can collect information from expert blogs. For example, it collects the opinions of industry leaders and experts. In addition, when the generation AI collects information from industry-specific forums and expert blogs, the information collection unit automatically extracts related topics and keywords and prioritizes the collection of important information. This allows the generation AI to obtain more specialized information by collecting information from industry-specific forums and expert blogs.
[0032] The information collection unit can also collect information from audio data or video data, and integrate it with text data for analysis. In the information collection unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes audio data and extracts important information. For example, the content of podcasts and webinars is converted into text data and used for analysis. In addition, to collect information from video data, the generation AI analyzes video subtitles and audio and extracts important information.

In addition, the information collection unit integrates audio data and video data with text data to perform comprehensive analysis. For example, the content of audio and video is combined with text data for analysis to identify important information. This enables more comprehensive information analysis by integrating audio data and video data with text data for analysis.
[0033] The information collection unit can automatically translate information in different languages and collect information from a global perspective. For example, the generation AI automatically translates news articles and social media posts in different languages to collect information from a global perspective. For example, it translates and analyzes information in English, Chinese, Spanish, etc. The information collection unit also uses the automatic translation function to collect patent information in different languages and grasp global technology trends. For example, it collects information from patent databases in various countries, translates it, and analyzes it. The information collection unit also automatically translates information in different languages using the generation AI to identify trends and threats from a global perspective. For example, it translates and analyzes international news and social media posts. This allows information to be collected from a global perspective by automatically translating information in different languages.
[0034] The analysis unit can identify potential threats by analyzing the frequency of specific keywords and phrases in the collected information. For example, the generation AI analyzes news articles and social media posts to calculate the frequency of specific keywords and phrases. For example, if there is a sudden increase in mentions of a startup or new technology, the analysis unit identifies that information as a potential threat. The analysis unit also analyzes patent information and analyzes the frequency of keywords related to specific technologies and inventions. For example, if a new technology is rapidly evolving, the analysis unit identifies that technology as a potential threat. The analysis unit also analyzes the frequency of specific keywords and phrases in the information collected by the generation AI to identify trends and threats. For example, if there is an increase in mentions of a specific company or technology, the analysis unit identifies that information as a potential threat. This makes it possible to identify potential threats by analyzing the frequency of specific keywords and phrases.
[0035] The analysis unit detects abnormal patterns by comparing it with past data and can identify potential threats. For example, the generation AI compares it with past news articles and social media posts to detect abnormal patterns. For example, if there is a sudden increase in mentions of a particular company or technology, the analysis unit identifies that information as a potential threat. The analysis unit also analyzes patent information and compares it with past data to detect abnormal patterns. For example, if a new technology is rapidly evolving, the analysis unit identifies that technology as a potential threat. The analysis unit also compares it with past data to detect abnormal patterns and identify potential threats. For example, if there is a sudden increase in the frequency of appearance of a particular keyword or phrase, the analysis unit identifies that information as a potential threat. This allows potential threats to be identified by detecting abnormal patterns by comparing it with past data.
[0036] The analysis unit can cross-reference information from different industries and fields to identify new threats. For example, the generation AI analyzes and cross-references news articles and social media posts from different industries. For example, it combines information from the technology field and the consumer market to identify new threats. The analysis unit also analyzes patent information and cross-references technologies and inventions from different fields. For example, it combines technologies from the medical and IT fields to identify new threats. The generation AI also cross-references information from different industries and fields to identify new threats. For example, it combines trends and technologies from different industries to identify new threats. This makes it possible to identify new threats by cross-referencing information from different industries and fields.
[0037] The analysis unit can integrate different data sources to perform more comprehensive analysis. For example, the generation AI analyzes economic and market data in addition to news articles and social media posts to perform a comprehensive analysis. For example, it identifies potential threats based on economic indicators and market trends. The analysis unit also integrates economic and market data when analyzing patent information to understand technological evolution and market trends. For example, it analyzes the impact of new technologies on the market. The analysis unit also integrates different data sources to perform a comprehensive analysis. For example, it combines news articles, social media posts, economic and market data to identify potential threats. This enables more comprehensive analysis by integrating different data sources.
[0038] The warning unit can automatically set the priority of warnings and give priority to the most important warnings. For example, the generation AI evaluates the importance of warnings based on the analysis results and automatically sets the priority. For example, the warning priority is determined based on the impact and urgency of potential threats. In addition, the warning unit takes into account past data and user feedback when the generation AI sets the priority of warnings. For example, it gives priority to warnings for threats that have had a high impact in the past. In addition, the warning unit builds a system in which the generation AI automatically sets the priority of warnings and gives priority to the most important warnings. For example, it immediately gives priority to warnings for threats with a high urgency. In this way, by automatically setting the priority of warnings, it is possible to give priority to the most important warnings.
[0039] The warning unit can evaluate the importance of a new threat by comparing it with past warning history. For example, the generation AI analyzes past warning history to evaluate the importance of a new threat. For example, it determines the importance by comparing it with similar threats that occurred in the past. Furthermore, when the generation AI issues a warning, the warning unit evaluates the impact of the new threat by comparing it with past warning history. For example, it determines the importance of the new threat based on the impact of past threats. Furthermore, the warning unit constructs a system in which the generation AI evaluates the importance of a new threat based on past warning history and issues a warning. For example, it sets the priority of the warning by referring to past data. This allows the importance of a new threat to be evaluated by comparing it with past warning history.
[0040] The warning unit can issue a customized warning based on the user's job title and job content. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's job title and job content and issues a customized warning. For example, the generation AI issues strategic warnings to management and warnings including specific countermeasures to field personnel. The warning unit also customizes the content of the warning based on the user's job content. For example, the generation AI issues warnings about market trends to marketing personnel and warnings about technological threats to technical personnel. The warning unit also builds a system in which the generation AI issues customized warnings based on the user's job title and job content. For example, the content of the warning can be adjusted based on the user's profile information. This allows for customized warnings to be issued based on the user's job title and job content, enabling more appropriate responses.
[0041] The warning unit can provide notifications compatible with different devices. For example, when the generation AI issues a warning, the warning unit provides a notification compatible with the user's smartphone or wearable device. For example, the warning unit sends a push notification to the smartphone and transmits the warning by vibration to the wearable device. The warning unit also builds a warning notification system compatible with different devices, and the generation AI sends the warning to the optimal device. For example, the warning unit analyzes the user's device usage status and provides the notification to the optimal device. The warning unit also provides an interface for providing notifications compatible with different devices when the generation AI issues a warning. For example, the warning is notified through a smartphone app or an app for the wearable device. In this way, by providing notifications compatible with different devices, the user can receive the warning on the optimal device.
[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0043] The notification system may further include a behavior analysis unit that analyzes a user's behavioral history. The behavior analysis unit, for example, analyzes what information the user has shown interest in in the past and prioritizes notification of information of high interest. For example, a user who is interested in a particular technology field may be prioritized in notification of the latest information related to that field. The behavior analysis unit may also analyze a user's browsing history and click history to predict the user's interests. For example, if the user frequently views information about a particular company or technology, new information about that company or technology may be prioritized in notification. The behavior analysis unit may also analyze a user's behavioral patterns and send notifications at the optimal time. For example, if a user tends to check information outside of normal business hours, notifications may be sent during those times. This allows for more personalized notifications by analyzing a user's behavioral history.
[0044] The notification system may further include a schedule adjustment unit that takes the user's schedule into consideration when sending notifications. The schedule adjustment unit, for example, acquires the user's calendar information and can avoid sending notifications before and after important meetings or events. For example, the schedule adjustment unit can prevent the user from receiving notifications during a meeting. The schedule adjustment unit can also refrain from sending notifications outside the user's working hours. For example, the schedule adjustment unit can prevent the user from receiving notifications while on vacation or late at night. The schedule adjustment unit can also set optimal notification timing based on the user's schedule. For example, the schedule adjustment unit can prevent the user from receiving notifications during normal working hours. In this way, by sending notifications taking the user's schedule into consideration, the user's work efficiency can be improved.
[0045] The notification system may further include a health monitoring unit that monitors the user's health state and sends a notification according to the health state. The health monitoring unit may, for example, monitor the user's heart rate and sleep state, and send a notification only when the user's health state is good. For example, a notification may be sent after the user has had enough sleep. The health monitoring unit may also adjust the content of the notification according to the user's health state. For example, a brief notification may be sent when the user is tired. The health monitoring unit may also monitor the user's health state in real time and adjust the timing of the notification according to the health state. For example, a notification may be sent when the user is relaxed. In this way, by sending notifications taking the user's health state into consideration, the user's health can be supported and stress reduced.
[0046] The notification system may further include a location information unit that takes into account the user's geographical location information when sending notifications. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the location information unit may prioritize notification of information related to that area. For example, the user may receive business news about that area while on a business trip. The location information unit may also analyze the user's movement patterns and send notifications at the optimal timing. For example, a notification may be sent while the user is commuting. The location information unit may also monitor the user's geographical location information in real time and adjust the content of the notification based on the location information. For example, when the user is at a specific event venue, information related to the event may be notified. In this way, by sending notifications taking into account the user's geographical location information, more relevant information can be provided.
[0047] The notification system may further include a behavior prediction unit that analyzes a user's past behavioral data and predicts future behavior. The behavior prediction unit, for example, analyzes what information a user has responded to in the past and predicts future behavior. For example, a user who is interested in a particular technology field may be prioritized in receiving notifications of the latest information related to that field. The behavior prediction unit may also analyze a user's past behavioral patterns and send notifications at the optimal time. For example, if a user tends to check information outside of normal business hours, notifications may be sent during those times. The behavior prediction unit may also monitor a user's behavioral data in real time, predict future behavior, and adjust notification content accordingly. For example, if a user frequently views information about a particular company or technology, new information about that company or technology may be prioritized in notifications. This enables more personalized notifications by analyzing a user's past behavioral data.
[0048] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0049] Step 1: The information gathering department collects information from multiple online sources. For example, they can gather the latest industry trends from news sites, user reactions and trends from social media, and information on new technologies and inventions from patent databases. Step 2: In the analysis section, the generation AI analyzes the information collected by the information collection section. For example, the generation AI uses text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze news articles and social media posts, and if there is a sudden increase in mentions of a particular company or technology, it determines that the company or technology is likely to be a potential threat. The generation AI also analyzes patent information to understand how new technologies are evolving. Step 3: The warning unit identifies potential threats based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit and issues a warning. For example, if a specific emerging company is growing rapidly, detailed information about that company will be notified. Also, if a new technology appears on the market and that technology may be competitive, information about that technology will be notified. Step 4: The notification unit notifies the user of the warning issued by the warning unit. For example, the notification unit may send the warning to the user by email or push notification. The notification unit may also display the warning on a dashboard.

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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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).
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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."
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
