Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The mental and emotional environment monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention compares the user's smartphone history with a generating AI or database to optimize the mental and emotional environment. This allows the mental and emotional environment monitoring system to issue an alert before the user's mental or emotional state deteriorates, preventing the situation from worsening.

[0029] A mental and emotional environment monitoring system according to an embodiment includes a history data collection unit, a data analysis unit, an environment quantification unit, an alert generation unit, and a suggestion unit. The history data collection unit collects history data from a user's smartphone, such as websites visited by the user, apps used, messages sent and received, call history, and location information. The history data collection unit also collects sensor information (such as acceleration, gyro, and heart rate) from the smartphone to analyze behavioral patterns in more detail. The data analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the history data collected by the history data collection unit and compare it with a database. For example, the generation AI uses an algorithm to detect changes in the user's behavioral patterns and emotions, and identifies history data that indicates behavioral patterns that are likely to indicate stress or emotional instability. The environment quantification unit quantifies the mental and emotional environment based on the results of the analysis by the data analysis unit. For example, the environment quantification unit expresses the user's stress level, happiness, anxiety, etc. as a percentage. The alert generation unit generates an alert and notifies the user when the environment quantified by the environment quantification unit exceeds a certain threshold. For example, an alert is issued if the stress level increases or anxiety increases. The suggestion unit makes suggestions to prevent the situation from worsening based on the alert generated by the alert generation unit. For example, these suggestions include suggestions for relaxation techniques, activities to reduce stress, and recommendations to consult with a specialist. As a result, the mental and emotional environment monitoring system according to the embodiment can monitor the mental and emotional state of the user in real time and prevent the situation from worsening. For example, if the user is feeling stressed or has increasing anxiety, an alert can be issued early and appropriate measures can be taken.

[0030] The history data collection unit collects sensor information from the smartphone and can analyze behavioral patterns in more detail. For example, the history data collection unit uses the user's smartphone's acceleration sensor to collect walking and exercise patterns and analyze changes in behavior. For example, it detects changes in daily walking speed and exercise volume. The history data collection unit also uses the smartphone's gyro sensor to record the user's posture and movements in detail and analyze signs of stress and fatigue. For example, it detects prolonged sitting or unnatural postures. The history data collection unit also uses the smartphone's heart rate sensor to monitor fluctuations in the user's heart rate in real time and analyze signs of stress or tension. For example, it detects sudden increases in heart rate or irregular rhythms. This allows for more detailed behavioral patterns to be analyzed, enabling a more accurate understanding of the user's mental and emotional state.

[0031] The history data collection unit can strengthen the collaboration between devices and also integrate data from a smartwatch or smart home device. For example, the history data collection unit integrates heart rate and sleep data from the smartwatch with historical data from the smartphone to comprehensively analyze the user's health condition.

By collecting data from the devices of family members and friends, the impact of social interactions can be analyzed and the user's mental and emotional state can be more comprehensively understood.

[0033] The history data collection unit collects data focusing on specific events or seasons, thereby identifying time-specific stress factors. For example, the history data collection unit collects smartphone history data of a user during the New Year holiday period and analyzes the impact of specific events or occasions on stress and emotions. For example, it analyzes data on year-end shopping and New Year's greetings. The history data collection unit also collects smartphone history data of a user during summer vacation and analyzes the impact of travel and leisure activities on emotions and behavior. For example, it analyzes location information at travel destinations and usage of leisure apps. The history data collection unit also collects history data focusing on specific events (e.g., birthdays and anniversaries) and analyzes the impact of the events on emotions and behavior. For example, it analyzes messages and call history before and after the event. By collecting data focusing on specific events or seasons, it is possible to identify time-specific stress factors and gain a more detailed understanding of the user's mental and emotional state.

[0034] The data analysis unit can integrate the user's past health data to perform more accurate analysis. For example, the data analysis unit may integrate the user's medical records into the generation AI and analyze fluctuations in stress and emotions based on past health conditions and treatment history. For example, it may analyze past diagnostic results and prescription drug data. The data analysis unit may also integrate fitness data (e.g., exercise volume and heart rate) into the generation AI to analyze the impact of exercise habits on emotions and stress.

The data analysis unit may also integrate past health checkup data into the generation AI to analyze the impact of fluctuations in health indicators (e.g., blood pressure and weight) on emotions and stress. For example, it may analyze the results of regular health checkups. Integrating past health data enables more accurate analysis, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the user's mental and emotional state.

[0035] The data analysis unit can provide personalized analysis results by taking into account the user's individual lifestyle or preferences. For example, the data analysis unit can integrate the user's lifestyle (e.g., eating and sleeping habits) into the generation AI to provide analysis results based on individual behavioral patterns. For example, it can analyze meal contents and sleep time. The data analysis unit can also integrate the user's preferences (e.g., hobbies and interests) into the generation AI to provide analysis results based on individual preferences. For example, it can analyze hobby activities and topics of interest. The data analysis unit can also integrate the user's lifestyle (e.g., work and vacation schedule) into the generation AI to provide analysis results based on individual lifestyle rhythms. For example, it can analyze work schedules and vacation plans. This allows for more personalized analysis results to be provided by taking into account the user's individual lifestyle and preferences.

[0036] The data analysis unit can add data on social media posts or online activities and analyze the relationship between online behavior and emotions. For example, the data analysis unit integrates social media post data into the generation AI to analyze the relationship between online behavior and emotions. For example, it performs sentiment analysis on the content of posts and comments. The data analysis unit also integrates online activities (e.g., website browsing history and online shopping history) into the generation AI to analyze the relationship between online behavior and emotions. For example, it analyzes data on articles viewed and products purchased. The data analysis unit also integrates social media interaction data (e.g., history of likes and shares) into the generation AI to analyze the relationship between online behavior and emotions. For example, it analyzes the frequency and content of interactions. In this way, by adding data on social media posts and online activities, it is possible to analyze the relationship between online behavior and emotions and gain a more detailed understanding of the user's mental and emotional state.

[0037] The data analysis unit can integrate data related to the user's work environment or work content to analyze the impact of workplace stress. For example, the data analysis unit integrates the user's work environment data (e.g., office layout and lighting conditions) into the generation AI to analyze the impact of workplace stress. For example, it analyzes the impact of the office environment on stress. The data analysis unit also integrates the user's work content data (e.g., task type and work progress) into the generation AI to analyze the impact of workplace stress. For example, it analyzes the impact of work load and progress on stress. The data analysis unit also integrates data on interpersonal relationships at work (e.g., communication history with colleagues and superiors) into the generation AI to analyze the impact of workplace stress. For example, it analyzes the impact of communication frequency and content on stress. In this way, by integrating data related to the work environment and work content, the impact of workplace stress can be analyzed and the user's mental and emotional state can be understood in more detail.

[0038] The environment quantifying unit can quantify the user's emotional state in association with other health indicators. For example, the environment quantifying unit quantifies the user's emotional state in association with sleep quality, and analyzes the relationship between emotion and sleep. For example, the environment quantifying unit quantifies the user's emotional state in association with sleep duration and sleep depth, and analyzes the relationship between emotion and sleep. For example, the environment quantifying unit quantifies the user's emotional state in association with dietary content, and analyzes the relationship between emotion and diet. For example, the environment quantifying unit quantifies the user's emotional state in association with the amount of exercise, and analyzes the relationship between emotion and exercise. For example, the environment quantifying unit quantifies the amount of daily exercise and the type of exercise, and analyzes the relationship between emotion and exercise. By quantifying the user's emotional state in association with other health indicators, it is possible to grasp emotional fluctuations in more detail.

[0039] The environment quantifying unit can integrate data from different devices to quantify the user's emotional state. For example, the environment quantifying unit integrates heart rate data from a smartwatch with the user's emotional state and quantifies and analyzes emotional fluctuations. For example, it associates heart rate fluctuations with an emotional score. The environment quantifying unit also integrates exercise data from a fitness tracker with the user's emotional state and quantifies and analyzes emotional fluctuations. For example, it associates the amount of exercise or type of exercise with an emotional score. The environment quantifying unit also integrates environmental data from smart home devices (e.g., room temperature and lighting conditions) with the user's emotional state and quantifies and analyzes emotional fluctuations. For example, it associates room temperature fluctuations with an emotional score. In this way, by integrating and quantifying the user's emotional state with data from different devices, it is possible to grasp emotional fluctuations in more detail.

[0040] The alert generation unit can issue an alert at the optimal timing, taking into account the user's past reactions or behavioral history. The alert generation unit, for example, builds a system that issues alerts at the optimal timing based on the user's past reaction data. For example, an alert is issued during times when stress was high in the past. The alert generation unit also analyzes the user's behavioral history and optimizes the timing of the alert. For example, an alert is issued before stress increases based on past behavioral patterns. The alert generation unit also personalizes the timing of the alert, taking into account the user's past reactions and behavioral history. For example, an alert is issued at a timing that has been effective in the past. In this way, by taking into account the user's past reactions and behavioral history, an alert can be issued at the optimal timing, preventing the situation from worsening.

[0041] The alert generation unit can individualize the content of the alert and provide the most effective message to the user. The alert generation unit, for example, builds a system that personalizes the content of the alert based on the user's past reaction data. For example, it reuses messages that were effective in the past. The alert generation unit also analyzes the user's behavioral history and optimizes the content of the alert. For example, it provides the most effective message based on past behavioral patterns. The alert generation unit also personalizes the content of the alert taking into account the individual needs and preferences of the user. For example, it provides a message that suits the user's preferences. By personalizing the content of the alert, the most effective message can be provided to the user and the situation can be prevented from worsening.

[0042] The alert generation unit can also send notifications to the user's family or friends to encourage support. The alert generation unit builds a system that sends notifications to family and friends when the user's emotional state worsens, for example. For example, a notification is sent to family when stress increases. The alert generation unit also sends messages to family and friends to encourage support depending on the user's emotional state. For example, a notification is sent to friends when anxiety increases. The alert generation unit also sends notifications to family and friends to encourage support when the user's emotional state exceeds a certain threshold. For example, a notification is sent when the emotional score is high. In this way, by sending notifications to the user's family and friends, it is possible to encourage support and prevent the situation from worsening.

[0043] The alert generation unit can provide the content of the alert through different media. The alert generation unit, for example, builds a system that provides the content of the alert through an audio message. For example, when stress increases, the alert generation unit provides audio guidance on how to relax. The alert generation unit also builds a system that provides the content of the alert through a video message. For example, when anxiety increases, the alert generation unit provides video guidance on how to relax. The alert generation unit also builds a system that provides the content of the alert through both a text message and an audio message. For example, when stress increases, the alert generation unit provides text and audio guidance on how to relax. By providing the content of the alert through different media, the user can be notified in the most effective way and the situation can be prevented from worsening.

[0044] The suggestion unit can make the most effective suggestions by taking into account the user's past successful experiences or preferences. The suggestion unit, for example, builds a system that makes the most effective suggestions based on the user's past successful experiences. For example, it re-suggests methods that have been successful in reducing stress in the past. The suggestion unit also takes into account the user's preferences and makes personalized suggestions for relaxation methods and stress reduction methods. For example, it suggests music or activities that the user likes. The suggestion unit also analyzes the user's past behavioral history and makes the most effective suggestions. For example, it re-suggests relaxation methods that have been effective in the past. In this way, by taking into account the user's past successful experiences and preferences, the most effective suggestions can be made and the situation can be prevented from worsening.

[0045] The suggestion unit can provide the suggestion content in stages, allowing the user to carry it out without difficulty. The suggestion unit, for example, builds a system that provides the suggestion content in stages, allowing the user to carry it out without difficulty. For example, it provides step-by-step guidance on stress reduction methods. The suggestion unit also adjusts the suggestion content in stages according to the user's situation. For example, the first suggestion starts with an easy method and gradually increases in difficulty. The suggestion unit also provides the suggestion content in stages, allowing the user to carry it out without difficulty. For example, it provides guidance on relaxation methods in stages, allowing the user to carry it out at their own pace. In this way, by providing the suggestion content in stages, the user can carry it out without difficulty, and it is possible to prevent the situation from worsening.

[0046] The suggestion unit can also share suggestions with the user's family or friends, and work together to improve the situation. The suggestion unit builds a system that shares suggestions with family and friends when the user's emotional state worsens, for example. For example, stress reduction methods are shared with family. The suggestion unit also shares suggestions to encourage support from family and friends depending on the user's emotional state. For example, relaxation methods are shared with friends when anxiety increases. The suggestion unit also shares suggestions with family and friends when the user's emotional state exceeds a certain threshold, and work together to improve the situation. For example, relaxation methods are shared with family when the emotional score is high. In this way, by sharing suggestions with the user's family and friends, it is possible to work together to improve the situation and prevent the situation from worsening.

[0047] The suggestion unit can provide the suggested content in different formats. For example, the suggestion unit may build a system that provides the suggested content in text. For example, it may provide text guidance on stress reduction methods. The suggestion unit may also build a system that provides the suggested content in audio. For example, it may provide audio guidance on relaxation methods. The suggestion unit may also build a system that provides the suggested content in video. For example, it may provide video guidance on stress reduction methods. By providing the suggested content in different formats, it is possible to make suggestions to the user in the most effective way and prevent the situation from worsening.

[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 historical data collection unit collects historical data from the user's smartphone. For example, it collects the websites the user visited, the apps they used, the messages they sent and received, their call history, and their location information. The historical data collection unit can also collect sensor information (such as acceleration, gyro, and heart rate) from the smartphone to analyze more detailed behavioral patterns. The data analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the historical data collected by the historical data collection unit and compare it with a database. For example, the generation AI uses an algorithm to detect changes in the user's behavioral patterns and emotions, identifying behavioral patterns that are likely to indicate stress or historical data that indicates emotional instability. The environment quantification unit quantifies the mental and emotional environment based on the results of the analysis by the data analysis unit. For example, it expresses the user's stress level, happiness, and anxiety as a percentage. The alert generation unit generates an alert and notifies the user when the environment quantified by the environment quantification unit exceeds a certain threshold. For example, it issues an alert when the stress level increases or anxiety increases. The suggestion unit makes suggestions to prevent the situation from worsening based on the alert generated by the alert generation unit. For example, the information includes suggestions for relaxation, activities to reduce stress, and recommendations for consulting a specialist. This allows the mental and emotional environment monitoring system according to the embodiment to monitor the user's mental and emotional state in real time and prevent the situation from worsening. For example, if the user is feeling stressed or experiencing increasing anxiety, an early alert can be issued and appropriate measures can be taken.

[0050] The history data collection unit collects sensor information from the smartphone and can analyze behavioral patterns in more detail. For example, it uses the user's smartphone's acceleration sensor to collect walking and exercise patterns and analyze changes in behavior. For example, it detects changes in daily walking speed and exercise volume. The history data collection unit also uses the smartphone's gyro sensor to record the user's posture and movements in detail and analyze signs of stress and fatigue. For example, it detects prolonged sitting or unnatural postures. The history data collection unit also uses the smartphone's heart rate sensor to monitor fluctuations in the user's heart rate in real time and analyze signs of stress or tension. For example, it detects sudden increases in heart rate or irregular rhythms.

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.

[0182] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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).

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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."

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.
