[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52.

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A pet health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention supports pet health management and emergency response by linking a webcam that monitors pet behavior with AI. This allows the pet health management system to analyze pet behavior, detect abnormal behavior and health problems, and support daily nutritional management. It can also automatically make an emergency call in the event of an emergency.
[0029] A pet health management system according to an embodiment includes a behavior analysis unit, a health detection unit, a nutrition management unit, and an emergency call unit. The behavior analysis unit analyzes video data acquired by a webcam that monitors the pet's behavior. For example, the behavior analysis unit learns the pet's normal behavioral patterns and detects abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit can also detect itchy or painful behaviors based on the pet's behavioral data. The health detection unit detects health problems based on the data analyzed by the behavior analysis unit. For example, if the pet frequently shows signs of itching, the health detection unit detects a skin problem. The health detection unit can also detect a loss of appetite or abnormal weight fluctuations as a health problem. The nutrition management unit supports daily nutritional management based on the health problems detected by the health detection unit. For example, the nutrition management unit monitors whether the pet is consuming an appropriate amount of food and provides advice to the owner as needed. The nutrition management unit can also analyze the pet's dietary data and suggest nutritional balance. The emergency call unit automatically sends an emergency call in the event of an emergency. For example, if a pet suddenly collapses or exhibits abnormal behavior, the emergency call unit automatically sends an emergency call to the owner or an emergency contact. This allows the pet health management system according to the embodiment to efficiently manage the health of pets and respond to emergencies. For example, even when the owner is out, the pet's health condition can be monitored in real time, and any abnormalities can be dealt with immediately. In addition, by supporting daily nutritional management, the pet's health can be maintained. Furthermore, by automatically sending an emergency call in the event of an emergency, a prompt response is possible.
[0030] The behavior analysis unit takes into account the individual personality and past behavioral history of each pet, enabling more accurate detection of abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit, for example, stores the individual personality and past behavioral history of each pet in a database and detects abnormal behavior based on that information. For example, if a particular pet is usually active but suddenly stops moving, this is detected as abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit also learns the pet's normal behavior patterns by collecting the pet's behavioral history over a long period of time and analyzing that data. This makes it possible to detect even subtle abnormal behavior. For example, if a pet does not behave in a specific manner during a specific time period, this is detected as an abnormality. The behavior analysis unit also analyzes behavior based on the pet's personality data. For example, because the criteria for abnormal behavior differ for introverted and extroverted pets, criteria for abnormal behavior are set according to each personality. This improves the accuracy of abnormal behavior detection by taking into account the individual personality and past behavioral history of each pet.
[0031] The behavior analysis unit can simultaneously analyze biometric data such as a pet's body temperature and heart rate to identify the cause of abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit collects biometric data using, for example, a body temperature sensor or heart rate monitor and integrates it with behavioral data for analysis. For example, if a pet moves around abnormally, it can check for rising body temperature and fluctuations in heart rate to detect the possibility of heatstroke. The behavior analysis unit also collects biometric data in real time and analyzes that data to correlate abnormal behavior with abnormalities in the body. For example, if a pet frequently shows signs of itching, it can check for rising skin temperature and detect the possibility of dermatitis. The behavior analysis unit also collects behavioral data and biometric data of a pet over a long period of time and analyzes that data to identify the cause of abnormal behavior. For example, if a pet shows a loss of appetite, it can check for a drop in heart rate and fluctuations in body temperature to detect digestive problems. This allows the analysis of biometric data to identify the cause of abnormal behavior.
[0032] The behavior analysis unit uses multiple cameras and sensors to perform multifaceted behavior analysis, allowing for a more detailed understanding of behavioral patterns. For example, the behavior analysis unit installs multiple cameras and captures images of a pet's behavior from different angles to analyze behavioral patterns in more detail. For example, if a pet is behaving abnormally in the corner of a room, the unit integrates and analyzes footage from multiple cameras. The behavior analysis unit also combines not only cameras but also motion sensors and audio sensors to analyze a pet's behavior in a multifaceted manner. For example, if a pet makes an abnormal noise, the unit associates the source of the sound with the pet's behavior for analysis. The behavior analysis unit also collects behavioral data of a pet using multiple sensors and integrates and analyzes the data. For example, if a pet is behaving abnormally in a specific location, the temperature and humidity data of that location are also included in the analysis. In this way, by using multiple cameras and sensors, a more detailed understanding of behavioral patterns can be obtained.
[0033] The behavior analysis unit can develop an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. The behavior analysis unit collects behavioral data of different types of pets, such as dogs, cats, and birds, and learns the behavioral patterns of each type. For example, it compares a specific behavioral pattern of a dog with that of a cat to detect abnormal behavior in each type. The behavior analysis unit also develops an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. For example, if a bird exhibits abnormal behavior of spreading its wings, it detects that behavior as abnormal. The behavior analysis unit also analyzes the behavioral patterns of each type of pet based on the behavioral data of different types of pets and detects abnormal behavior. For example, if a cat frequently sharpens its claws, it detects that behavior as abnormal. In this way, by developing an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets, the accuracy of detecting abnormal behavior is improved.
[0034] The health detection unit can detect health problems with higher accuracy by referring to the pet's past health checkup data and medical history. The health detection unit, for example, stores the pet's past health checkup data and medical history in a database and detects health problems based on that. For example, if a pet that previously suffered from a skin disease shows signs of itching again, it detects this as a recurrence of the skin disease. The health detection unit also collects the pet's past health checkup data over a long period of time and analyzes that data to detect health problems with high accuracy. For example, it detects abnormal weight fluctuations based on past weight fluctuation data. The health detection unit also detects health problems based on the pet's medical history data. For example, if a pet that previously had a digestive problem shows a loss of appetite, it detects this as a recurrence of the problem. In this way, by referring to the past health checkup data and medical history, the accuracy of health problem detection is improved.
[0035] The health detection unit can identify health problems caused by environmental factors by combining and analyzing pet behavioral data and environmental data. For example, the health detection unit integrates and analyzes behavioral data and environmental data. For example, if a pet coughs frequently, air quality data can be analyzed to detect possible allergies. The health detection unit also collects environmental data in real time and combines and analyzes that data with behavioral data to identify health problems caused by environmental factors. For example, if a pet becomes abnormally immobile in a high-temperature environment, it can detect possible heatstroke. The health detection unit also collects pet behavioral data and environmental data over a long period of time and analyzes that data to identify health problems caused by environmental factors. For example, if a pet exhibits skin problems in a high-humidity environment, the environmental factors can be identified. In this way, health problems caused by environmental factors can be identified by combining and analyzing behavioral data and environmental data.
[0036] The health detection unit comprehensively monitors the entire pet rearing environment and can detect health problems. The health detection unit, for example, builds a system that integrates and analyzes data such as diet, exercise, and sleep. For example, if a pet shows a loss of appetite, the amount of exercise and sleep time are also analyzed to identify the cause. The health detection unit also develops a system that monitors the entire pet rearing environment and detects health problems based on the data. For example, if a pet becomes abnormally motionless, the diet data and sleep data are analyzed to identify the cause. The health detection unit also collects data such as diet, exercise, and sleep in real time and integrates and analyzes the data to build a system that comprehensively detects health problems. For example, if a pet frequently shows signs of itching, the diet data and exercise data are analyzed to identify the cause. In this way, health problems can be comprehensively detected by monitoring the entire pet rearing environment.
[0037] The health detection unit can develop specialized AI models to address different health issues. The health detection unit develops specialized AI models to address different health issues, such as skin diseases, digestive system problems, and musculoskeletal problems. For example, an AI model is developed to detect signs of skin diseases. The health detection unit also develops multiple specialized AI models to address different health issues, with each model detecting a specific health issue. For example, an AI model is developed to detect digestive system problems. The health detection unit also develops AI models specialized for each health issue, with each model detecting a specific health issue with high accuracy. For example, an AI model is developed to detect musculoskeletal problems. In this way, by developing specialized AI models to address different health issues, the accuracy of health problem detection is improved.
[0038] The nutrition management unit can propose an optimal nutritional balance by taking into account individual health data such as the pet's age, weight, and activity level. For example, when analyzing a pet's dietary data, the nutrition management unit proposes an optimal nutritional balance based on individual health data such as age, weight, and activity level. For example, a high-protein diet is proposed for a growing pet. The nutrition management unit also analyzes dietary data based on the pet's individual health data and proposes an optimal nutritional balance. For example, a low-calorie diet is proposed for a pet that is gaining weight. The nutrition management unit also analyzes dietary data based on data such as age, weight, and activity level and proposes an optimal nutritional balance. For example, an easy-to-digest diet is proposed for an elderly pet. In this way, the optimal nutritional balance can be proposed by taking into account individual health data.
[0039] The nutritional management unit can learn a pet's dietary history and preferences and perform nutritional management according to the dietary preferences. For example, when analyzing a pet's dietary data, the nutritional management unit learns the dietary history and preferences and performs nutritional management according to the preferences. For example, for a pet that prefers a particular food, it will suggest a nutritional balance based on that food. The nutritional management unit also collects a pet's dietary history over a long period of time and performs nutritional management according to the preferences based on that data. For example, for a pet that prefers a particular ingredient, it will suggest a meal that includes that ingredient. The nutritional management unit also develops an AI model that learns the dietary history and preferences and performs nutritional management according to the pet's preferences. For example, for a pet that prefers a particular flavor, it will suggest a meal based on that flavor. In this way, by learning the dietary history and preferences, it is possible to perform nutritional management according to the preferences.
[0040] The nutrition management department can expand daily nutrition management into a system that links pet exercise data and sleep data to provide comprehensive health management. For example, the nutrition management department will build a system that integrates exercise data and sleep data when analyzing pet dietary data. For example, if a pet is not getting enough exercise, the amount of food will be adjusted based on that data. The nutrition management department will also collect pet exercise and sleep data in real time and develop a system that provides comprehensive health management based on that data. For example, if a pet is not getting enough sleep, the nutritional balance will be adjusted based on that data. The nutrition management department will also develop an AI model that integrates and analyzes dietary data, exercise data, and sleep data to build a system that provides comprehensive health management. For example, if a pet exercises a lot, the data will be used to suggest high-calorie meals. This will enable comprehensive health management by linking it with exercise and sleep data.
[0041] The nutrition management department can develop an AI model that provides nutritional management plans for each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. The nutrition management department collects nutritional data for different types of pets, such as dogs, cats, and birds, and develops a model that provides nutritional management plans for each type. For example, it might suggest a high-protein diet for dogs and a high-fat diet for cats. The nutrition management department also develops an AI model that provides nutritional management plans for each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. For example, it might suggest a vitamin-rich diet for birds. The nutrition management department also develops a model that provides nutritional management plans for each type of pet based on the nutritional data for different types of pets. For example, it might suggest a high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet for cats. This improves the accuracy of nutritional management by developing an AI model that provides nutritional management plans for each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets.
[0042] The emergency call unit can detect abnormalities at an earlier stage by referencing data on past emergency situations involving pets. For example, the emergency call unit stores data on past emergency situations involving pets in a database and detects abnormalities based on that data. For example, if a pet that suddenly collapsed in the past exhibits similar behavior again, it is immediately detected as an abnormality. The emergency call unit also collects data on past emergency situations involving pets over a long period of time and detects abnormalities at an earlier stage based on that data. For example, if a pet that previously exhibited difficulty breathing exhibits similar behavior again, it is immediately detected as an abnormality. The emergency call unit also builds a system that detects emergency behavior at an earlier stage based on the emergency data. For example, if a pet that previously had a seizure exhibits similar behavior again, it is immediately detected as an abnormality. In this way, abnormalities can be detected at an earlier stage by referencing data on past emergency situations.
[0043] The emergency call unit monitors a pet's biological data in real time and can immediately detect any abnormalities. The emergency call unit monitors biological data such as heart rate and breathing rate in real time and immediately detects any abnormalities. For example, a sudden increase in heart rate is immediately detected as an abnormality. The emergency call unit will also collect biological data in real time and build a system that immediately detects emergency behavior based on that data. For example, a sudden drop in breathing rate is immediately detected as an abnormality. The emergency call unit will also develop a system that immediately detects emergency behavior based on biological data such as heart rate and breathing rate. For example, an irregular heart rate is immediately detected as an abnormality. This allows for immediate detection of abnormalities by monitoring biological data in real time.
[0044] The emergency call unit can be expanded to include a system that automatically sends emergency calls not only to the pet owner but also to nearby veterinary clinics and pet sitters. For example, the emergency call unit will build a system that automatically sends emergency calls not only to the pet owner but also to nearby veterinary clinics when emergency behavior is detected. For example, if a pet suddenly collapses, the veterinary clinic will be immediately notified. The emergency call unit will also develop a system that automatically sends emergency calls not only to the pet owner but also to the pet sitter. For example, if a pet exhibits abnormal behavior, the pet sitter will be immediately notified. The emergency call unit will also build a system that automatically sends emergency calls to multiple contacts when emergency behavior is detected. For example, if a pet suddenly exhibits difficulty breathing, the owner, veterinary clinic, and pet sitter will be notified simultaneously. Expanding the scope of emergency call notifications enables faster response.
[0045] The emergency call department can develop an AI model that provides specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies. The emergency call department develops an AI model that provides specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies, such as injury, illness, and getting lost. For example, it proposes first aid methods in the event of an injured pet. The emergency call department also develops multiple AI models that provide specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies, with each model responding to a specific emergency. For example, it proposes how to respond if a pet shows signs of illness. The emergency call department also develops an AI model specialized for each emergency, with each model responding to a specific emergency with high accuracy. For example, it proposes how to search for a lost pet. In this way, by developing AI models that provide specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies, the accuracy of emergency responses is improved.
[0046] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0047] The behavior analysis unit analyzes video data acquired by a webcam that monitors pet behavior. For example, the behavior analysis unit learns a pet's normal behavioral patterns and detects abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit can also detect itchy or painful behavior based on the pet's behavioral data. The health detection unit detects health problems based on the data analyzed by the behavior analysis unit. For example, if a pet frequently shows signs of itching, the health detection unit detects this as a skin problem. The health detection unit can also detect a loss of appetite or abnormal weight fluctuations as a health problem. The nutrition management unit supports daily nutritional management based on health problems detected by the health detection unit. For example, the nutrition management unit monitors whether a pet is eating an appropriate amount of food and provides advice to the owner as needed. The nutrition management unit can also analyze a pet's dietary data and suggest nutritional balance. The emergency call unit automatically makes an emergency call in the event of an emergency. For example, if a pet suddenly collapses or exhibits abnormal behavior, the emergency call unit automatically sends an emergency call to the pet's owner or an emergency contact. This allows the pet health management system according to the embodiment to efficiently manage pet health and respond to emergencies. For example, even when the owner is out, the pet's health condition can be monitored in real time, and any abnormalities can be dealt with immediately. Furthermore, by supporting daily nutritional management, the pet's health can be maintained. Furthermore, by automatically sending an emergency call in the event of an emergency, a prompt response is possible.

[0051] The behavior analysis unit can develop an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. The behavior analysis unit collects behavioral data of different types of pets, such as dogs, cats, and birds, and learns the behavioral patterns of each type. For example, it compares a specific behavioral pattern of a dog with that of a cat to detect abnormal behavior in each type. The behavior analysis unit also develops an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets.

The emergency call unit will also build a system that automatically sends emergency calls to multiple contacts when emergency behavior is detected. For example, if a pet suddenly exhibits difficulty breathing, the owner, veterinary clinic, and pet sitter will be notified simultaneously. Expanding the scope of emergency call notifications enables faster response.
[0090] The emergency call department can develop an AI model that provides specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies. The emergency call department develops an AI model that provides specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies, such as injury, illness, and getting lost. For example, it proposes first aid methods in the event of an injured pet. The emergency call department also develops multiple AI models that provide specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies, with each model responding to a specific emergency. For example, it proposes how to respond if a pet shows signs of illness. The emergency call department also develops an AI model specialized for each emergency, with each model responding to a specific emergency with high accuracy. For example, it proposes how to search for a lost pet. In this way, by developing AI models that provide specialized emergency response plans to respond to different emergencies, the accuracy of emergency responses is improved.
[0091] The emergency call unit uses the emotion estimation function to propose an emergency response method according to the emotional state of the pet during emergency behavior, thereby supporting a prompt and appropriate response. The emergency call unit proposes an emergency response method, for example, by analyzing the pet's emergency behavior and estimating the emotional state using the emotion estimation function. For example, if the pet is feeling extremely anxious, it proposes a response method to alleviate that anxiety. The emergency call unit also uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the pet's emotional state during emergency behavior and proposes a prompt and appropriate response method. For example, if the pet is feeling extremely fear, it proposes a response method to alleviate that fear. The emergency call unit also proposes an emergency response method based on the pet's emergency behavior data and emotion estimation data, thereby building a system to support a prompt and appropriate response. For example, if the pet is feeling extremely stressed, it proposes a response method to reduce that stress. As a result, the emotion estimation function can be used to propose an emergency response method according to the pet's emotional state during emergency behavior, thereby supporting a prompt and appropriate response.
[0092] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0093] The behavior analysis unit analyzes video data acquired by a webcam that monitors pet behavior. For example, the behavior analysis unit learns a pet's normal behavioral patterns and detects abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit can also detect itchy or painful behavior based on the pet's behavioral data. The health detection unit detects health problems based on the data analyzed by the behavior analysis unit. For example, if a pet frequently shows signs of itching, the health detection unit detects this as a skin problem. The health detection unit can also detect a loss of appetite or abnormal weight fluctuations as a health problem. The nutrition management unit supports daily nutritional management based on health problems detected by the health detection unit. For example, the nutrition management unit monitors whether a pet is eating an appropriate amount of food and provides advice to the owner as needed. The nutrition management unit can also analyze a pet's dietary data and suggest nutritional balance. The emergency call unit automatically makes an emergency call in the event of an emergency. For example, if a pet suddenly collapses or exhibits abnormal behavior, the emergency call unit automatically sends an emergency call to the pet's owner or an emergency contact. This allows the pet health management system according to the embodiment to efficiently manage pet health and respond to emergencies. For example, even when the owner is out, the pet's health condition can be monitored in real time, and any abnormalities can be dealt with immediately. Furthermore, by supporting daily nutritional management, the pet's health can be maintained. Furthermore, by automatically sending an emergency call in the event of an emergency, a prompt response is possible.
[0094] The behavior analysis unit takes into account the individual personality and past behavioral history of each pet, enabling more accurate detection of abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit, for example, stores the individual personality and past behavioral history of each pet in a database and detects abnormal behavior based on that information. For example, if a particular pet is usually active but suddenly stops moving, this is detected as abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit also learns the pet's normal behavior patterns by collecting the pet's behavioral history over a long period of time and analyzing that data. This makes it possible to detect even subtle abnormal behavior. For example, if a pet does not behave in a specific manner during a specific time period, this is detected as an abnormality. The behavior analysis unit also analyzes behavior based on the pet's personality data. For example, because the criteria for abnormal behavior differ for introverted and extroverted pets, criteria for abnormal behavior are set according to each personality. This improves the accuracy of abnormal behavior detection by taking into account the individual personality and past behavioral history of each pet.
[0095] The behavior analysis unit can simultaneously analyze biometric data such as a pet's body temperature and heart rate to identify the cause of abnormal behavior. The behavior analysis unit collects biometric data using, for example, a body temperature sensor or heart rate monitor and integrates it with behavioral data for analysis. For example, if a pet moves around abnormally, it can check for rising body temperature and fluctuations in heart rate to detect the possibility of heatstroke. The behavior analysis unit also collects biometric data in real time and analyzes that data to correlate abnormal behavior with abnormalities in the body. For example, if a pet frequently shows signs of itching, it can check for rising skin temperature and detect the possibility of dermatitis. The behavior analysis unit also collects behavioral data and biometric data of a pet over a long period of time and analyzes that data to identify the cause of abnormal behavior. For example, if a pet shows a loss of appetite, it can check for a drop in heart rate and fluctuations in body temperature to detect digestive problems. This allows the analysis of biometric data to identify the cause of abnormal behavior.
[0096] The behavior analysis unit uses the emotion estimation function to estimate the emotional state from the pet's behavior and detect signs of stress or anxiety. The behavior analysis unit estimates the pet's emotional state using, for example, an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, if the pet barks frequently, this is detected as a sign of stress or anxiety. The behavior analysis unit also estimates the emotional state based on the pet's behavior data and detects signs of stress or anxiety. For example, if the pet avoids a particular place, this is detected as anxiety about that place. The behavior analysis unit also uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional state from the pet's behavior in real time and detect signs of stress or anxiety. For example, if the pet scratches its body frequently, this is detected as a sign of stress. In this way, the emotion estimation function can be used to detect signs of stress or anxiety in the pet.
[0097] The behavior analysis unit uses multiple cameras and sensors to perform multifaceted behavior analysis, allowing for a more detailed understanding of behavioral patterns. For example, the behavior analysis unit installs multiple cameras and captures images of a pet's behavior from different angles to analyze behavioral patterns in more detail. For example, if a pet is behaving abnormally in the corner of a room, the unit integrates and analyzes footage from multiple cameras. The behavior analysis unit also combines not only cameras but also motion sensors and audio sensors to analyze a pet's behavior in a multifaceted manner. For example, if a pet makes an abnormal noise, the unit associates the source of the sound with the pet's behavior for analysis. The behavior analysis unit also collects behavioral data of a pet using multiple sensors and integrates and analyzes the data. For example, if a pet is behaving abnormally in a specific location, the temperature and humidity data of that location are also included in the analysis. In this way, by using multiple cameras and sensors, a more detailed understanding of behavioral patterns can be obtained.
[0098] The behavior analysis unit can develop an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. The behavior analysis unit collects behavioral data of different types of pets, such as dogs, cats, and birds, and learns the behavioral patterns of each type. For example, it compares a specific behavioral pattern of a dog with that of a cat to detect abnormal behavior in each type. The behavior analysis unit also develops an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets. For example, if a bird exhibits abnormal behavior of spreading its wings, it detects that behavior as abnormal. The behavior analysis unit also analyzes the behavioral patterns of each type of pet based on the behavioral data of different types of pets and detects abnormal behavior. For example, if a cat frequently sharpens its claws, it detects that behavior as abnormal. In this way, by developing an AI model that learns the behavioral patterns of each type of pet to accommodate different types of pets, the accuracy of detecting abnormal behavior is improved.
[0099] The behavior analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to feed back the results of the pet's behavior analysis to the owner and suggest a care method according to the pet's emotional state. The behavior analysis unit, for example, analyzes the pet's behavior and uses the emotion estimation function to estimate the pet's emotional state, feeding back the results to the owner. For example, if the pet is feeling stressed, it suggests the cause and countermeasures. The behavior analysis unit also uses the emotion estimation function to suggest specific care methods to the owner based on the results of the pet's behavior analysis. For example, if the pet is feeling anxious, it suggests environmental improvements to reassure the pet. The behavior analysis unit also suggests care methods according to the pet's emotional state to the owner based on the results of the pet's behavior analysis and the emotion estimation data. For example, if the pet is feeling lonely, it suggests increasing play time. In this way, the emotion estimation function can be used to suggest care methods according to the pet's emotional state.
[0100] The health detection unit can detect health problems with higher accuracy by referring to the pet's past health checkup data and medical history. The health detection unit, for example, stores the pet's past health checkup data and medical history in a database and detects health problems based on that. For example, if a pet that previously suffered from a skin disease shows signs of itching again, it detects this as a recurrence of the skin disease. The health detection unit also collects the pet's past health checkup data over a long period of time and analyzes that data to detect health problems with high accuracy. For example, it detects abnormal weight fluctuations based on past weight fluctuation data. The health detection unit also detects health problems based on the pet's medical history data. For example, if a pet that previously had a digestive problem shows a loss of appetite, it detects this as a recurrence of the problem. In this way, by referring to the past health checkup data and medical history, the accuracy of health problem detection is improved.
[0101] The health detection unit can identify health problems caused by environmental factors by combining and analyzing pet behavioral data and environmental data. For example, the health detection unit integrates and analyzes behavioral data and environmental data. For example, if a pet coughs frequently, air quality data can be analyzed to detect possible allergies. The health detection unit also collects environmental data in real time and combines and analyzes that data with behavioral data to identify health problems caused by environmental factors. For example, if a pet becomes abnormally immobile in a high-temperature environment, it can detect possible heatstroke. The health detection unit also collects pet behavioral data and environmental data over a long period of time and analyzes that data to identify health problems caused by environmental factors. For example, if a pet exhibits skin problems in a high-humidity environment, the environmental factors can be identified. In this way, health problems caused by environmental factors can be identified by combining and analyzing behavioral data and environmental data.
[0102] The health detection unit can use the emotion estimation function to estimate the emotional state of a pet from its behavior and detect the impact of emotional stress on its health. For example, the health detection unit detects the impact of emotional stress on its health by estimating the emotional state of a pet using the emotion estimation function. For example, if a pet barks frequently, it detects the possibility that stress is causing health problems. The health detection unit also uses the emotion estimation function to estimate the emotional state based on the pet's behavioral data and identify the impact of emotional stress on its health. For example, if a pet feels anxious, it detects the possibility that the anxiety is leading to a loss of appetite. The health detection unit also analyzes the impact of emotional stress on its health based on the pet's behavioral data and emotion estimation data. For example, if a pet feels lonely, it detects the possibility that the loneliness is leading to weight loss. In this way, the emotion estimation function can be used to detect the impact of emotional stress on its health.
[0103] The health detection unit comprehensively monitors the entire pet rearing environment and can detect health problems. The health detection unit, for example, builds a system that integrates and analyzes data such as diet, exercise, and sleep. For example, if a pet shows a loss of appetite, the amount of exercise and sleep time are also analyzed to identify the cause. The health detection unit also develops a system that monitors the entire pet rearing environment and detects health problems based on the data. For example, if a pet becomes abnormally motionless, the diet data and sleep data are analyzed to identify the cause. The health detection unit also collects data such as diet, exercise, and sleep in real time and integrates and analyzes the data to build a system that comprehensively detects health problems. For example, if a pet frequently shows signs of itching, the diet data and exercise data are analyzed to identify the cause. In this way, health problems can be comprehensively detected by monitoring the entire pet rearing environment.
[0104] The health detection unit can develop specialized AI models to address different health issues.

For example, a high-protein diet is proposed for a growing pet. The nutrition management unit also analyzes dietary data based on the pet's individual health data and proposes an optimal nutritional balance. For example, a low-calorie diet is proposed for a pet that is gaining weight. The nutrition management unit also analyzes dietary data based on data such as age, weight, and activity level and proposes an optimal nutritional balance. For example, an easy-to-digest diet is proposed for an elderly pet. In this way, the optimal nutritional balance can be proposed by taking into account individual health data.
[0107] The nutritional management unit can learn a pet's dietary history and preferences and perform nutritional management according to the dietary preferences. For example, when analyzing a pet's dietary data, the nutritional management unit learns the dietary history and preferences and performs nutritional management according to the preferences. For example, for a pet that prefers a particular food, it will suggest a nutritional balance based on that food. The nutritional management unit also collects a pet's dietary history over a long period of time and performs nutritional management according to the preferences based on that data. For example, for a pet that prefers a particular ingredient, it will suggest a meal that includes that ingredient.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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).
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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."
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.

[0179] 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.

Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0182] 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.

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.
