[0028] (Example 1) A pet training support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically analyzes pet behavior, generates a training plan using a generation AI, supports training, and visualizes progress. As a result, the pet training support system makes pet training more efficient and makes life with pets more comfortable and enjoyable, especially for busy owners living alone.
[0029] A pet training support system according to an embodiment includes a behavior analysis unit, a training plan generation unit, a training support unit, and a progress visualization unit. The behavior analysis unit analyzes the behavior of a pet. For example, it analyzes the behavior of the pet, the time of day the pet is active, and the environment in which the pet feels stressed. The behavior analysis unit also collects behavioral data of the pet and extracts behavioral patterns. For example, it uses a sensor to monitor the pet's movements in real time and collects behavioral data. Video analysis technology can also be used to analyze the pet's behavior from video data. The training plan generation unit generates a training plan based on the behavioral data of the pet analyzed by the behavior analysis unit. For example, the generation AI generates a training plan tailored to the pet's personality. The generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to suggest specific training methods for improving the pet's behavior. The generation AI can also use a multimodal generation AI to suggest game-style training that allows the pet to learn while having fun. The training support unit supports training based on the training plan generated by the training plan generation unit. For example, the generation AI suggests to the owner how to respond when the pet exhibits a specific behavior. The generation AI can also suggest training methods and toys and tools that the pet can enjoy. The generation AI adjusts the training support content based on owner feedback. The progress visualization unit visualizes training progress. For example, the generation AI displays, in graphs or charts, how much the pet has progressed in training, which behaviors have improved, and which areas still need improvement. The generation AI visualizes progress based on training implementation data and progress status. As a result, the pet training support system according to the embodiment can streamline pet training and make life with pets more comfortable and enjoyable, especially for busy owners living alone. For example, by accurately understanding pet behavior and providing individually customized training plans, problem behaviors of pets can be effectively improved. Furthermore, visualizing training progress makes it easier for owners to see their pet's growth.
[0030] The behavior analysis unit monitors pet behavior in real time, instantly detecting any abnormal behavior and notifying the owner. For example, the behavior analysis unit uses AI to monitor pet behavior 24 hours a day and sends a notification to the owner's smartphone if it detects abnormal behavior. For example, it issues an alert if the pet behaves in an unusual manner or remains motionless for an extended period of time. The behavior analysis unit also uses AI to learn pet behavior patterns and develop algorithms to detect abnormal behavior. For example, it sends a notification if the pet suddenly starts barking loudly or shows an unusual appetite. The behavior analysis unit also uses AI to analyze pet behavior data and build a system that instantly detects abnormal behavior. For example, it issues an alert if the pet remains motionless during normal activity times or repeatedly behaves abnormally. This allows for immediate detection of abnormal pet behavior and notifies the owner, enabling a rapid response.
[0031] The behavior analysis unit can accumulate pet behavior data over a long period of time and analyze changes in behavior patterns in response to seasonal and environmental changes. For example, the behavior analysis unit uses AI to collect pet behavior data throughout the year and analyze changes in behavior patterns by season. For example, it analyzes differences in activity levels between summer and winter, and seasonal changes in appetite. The behavior analysis unit also accumulates pet behavior data and analyzes changes in behavior patterns in response to environmental changes. For example, it detects changes in behavior due to moving or the introduction of a new pet.

The progress visualization unit also uses the emotion estimation function to develop a system that visualizes the pet's emotional state and evaluates the effectiveness of training from an emotional perspective. For example, the effectiveness of training is evaluated based on the pet's emotional state. In this way, the quality of training is improved by visualizing the pet's emotional state and evaluating the effectiveness of training from an emotional perspective.
[0091] The progress visualization unit can evaluate the degree of growth of a pet in comparison with other pets based on the training progress data. For example, the generation AI in the progress visualization unit constructs a system that analyzes the training progress data and evaluates the degree of growth of a pet in comparison with other pets. For example, the degree of growth is evaluated in comparison with pets of the same breed or age. The progress visualization unit also develops an algorithm that evaluates the degree of growth in comparison with other pets based on the training data. For example, the progress of improvement in a pet's behavior is evaluated in comparison with other pets. The progress visualization unit also develops a system that analyzes the training progress data and evaluates the degree of growth of a pet in comparison with other pets. For example, the change in a pet's behavior pattern is evaluated in comparison with other pets. This allows owners to easily feel their pet's growth by evaluating the degree of growth in comparison with other pets.
[0092] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0093] Step 1: The behavior analysis unit analyzes the behavior of the pet. For example, it analyzes what behaviors the pet exhibits, what time of day the pet is most active, and what kind of environment causes stress. The behavior analysis unit also collects data on the pet's behavior and extracts behavioral patterns. For example, it uses sensors to monitor the pet's movements in real time and collects behavioral data. Video analysis technology can also be used to analyze the pet's behavior from video data. Step 2: The training plan generation unit generates a training plan based on the pet's behavioral data analyzed by the behavior analysis unit. For example, the generation AI generates a training plan tailored to the pet's personality. The generation AI uses text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to suggest specific training methods for improving the pet's behavior. The generation AI can also use multimodal generation AI to suggest game-style training that allows the pet to learn while having fun. Step 3: The training support unit supports training based on the training plan generated by the training plan generation unit. For example, the generation AI suggests to the owner how to respond when the pet exhibits a specific behavior. The generation AI can also suggest how to proceed with training and toys and tools that the pet can enjoy. The generation AI adjusts the training support content based on feedback from the owner. Step 4: The progress visualization unit visualizes the training progress. For example, the generation AI displays in graphs and charts how far the pet has progressed in training, which behaviors have improved, and which areas still need improvement. The generation AI visualizes progress based on the training implementation data and progress status.

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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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).
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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."
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
