For example, a function can be added to the medical condition text input screen, where the generation AI can analyze the input content in real time and automatically generate follow-up questions to present to the user. For example, if you enter "I have a bad headache," a follow-up question such as "When did your headache start?" will be displayed. The generation AI can also analyze the text input of the medical condition and automatically generate follow-up questions to complement the necessary information. For example, if you enter "I have a fever," a question such as "What is your body temperature?" will be displayed. In addition, a function can be added where the generation AI can analyze the input content in real time when entering the medical condition text and automatically generate follow-up questions to present to the user. For example, if you enter "I have a cough," a question such as "How often do you cough?" will be displayed. This allows the user to enter more detailed medical conditions.

[0097] The medical condition input section can refer to medical condition data previously entered by the user and automatically complete the information if there are similar symptoms. For example, a function is added to the medical condition text input screen that allows the user to refer to medical condition data previously entered. For example, if there are symptoms similar to medical conditions previously entered, the information is automatically completed. In addition, a function is added in which the generation AI analyzes the user's past medical condition data and automatically completes the information if there are similar symptoms. For example, a question such as "Have you had similar symptoms in the past?" is displayed. In addition, a function is added in which, when entering medical condition text, the user refers to medical condition data previously entered by the user and automatically completes the information if there are similar symptoms. For example, a question such as "If you have had similar symptoms in the past, please enter their details" is displayed. This allows the user to refer to past medical condition data and automatically complete similar symptoms.

[0098] The medical condition input unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional state of the user when entering the medical condition, and can suggest counseling services if the user has strong negative emotions. For example, when the user enters the medical condition as text, the emotion estimation function is used to analyze the user's emotional state, and if the user has strong negative emotions, counseling services are suggested. For example, a message such as "You seem to be under a lot of stress. Would you like to try counseling?" is displayed. The medical condition input unit also uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state when entering the medical condition, and if the user has strong negative emotions, counseling services are suggested. For example, a message such as "You seem to be feeling very anxious. Would you like to try counseling?" is displayed. The medical condition input unit also uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state when entering the medical condition, and if the user has strong negative emotions, counseling services are suggested. For example, a message such as "You seem to be feeling depressed. Would you like to try counseling?" is displayed. This makes it possible to suggest counseling services if the user has negative emotions.

[0099] The medical condition input unit uses natural language processing technology to allow the user to input medical conditions simply by speaking. For example, a voice input function can be added to the medical condition text input screen, allowing the user to input medical conditions simply by speaking. For example, if the user says, "I've had a bad headache and fever since yesterday," it will be automatically converted into text. In addition, natural language processing technology is used to convert what the user says into text in real time and display it on the medical condition input screen. For example, if the user says, "I have a cough," it will be automatically converted into text. In addition, the voice input function is used to analyze what the user says and automatically extract the necessary information. For example, if the user says, "I have a rash," it will be automatically converted into text and displayed on the medical condition input screen. This allows the user to easily input their medical condition.

[0100] The media upload section allows the generation AI to perform image analysis in real time and automatically highlight any abnormalities. For example, a function will be added to the photo and video upload screen where the generation AI will perform image analysis in real time and automatically highlight any abnormalities. For example, when uploading a photo of a rash, abnormal areas will be highlighted in red. In addition, a function will be added where the generation AI will analyze uploaded photos and videos and automatically highlight any abnormalities. For example, when uploading a video of a cough, abnormal movements will be detected and highlighted. In addition, a function will be added where the generation AI will perform image analysis in real time when uploading photos and videos and automatically highlight any abnormalities. For example, when uploading a photo of skin, abnormal areas will be automatically highlighted. This allows abnormalities to be automatically highlighted in images and videos uploaded by users.

[0101] The media upload unit allows the generation AI to compare with past image data and evaluate the progression of symptoms. For example, a function is added to the photo or video upload screen where the generation AI compares with past image data and evaluates the progression of symptoms. For example, a past photo of a rash is compared with a current photo to evaluate the progression. In addition, a function is added where the generation AI compares uploaded photos or videos with past data and evaluates the progression of symptoms. For example, a past video of a cough is compared with a current video to evaluate the progression. In addition, a function is added where, when uploading photos or videos, the generation AI compares with past image data and evaluates the progression of symptoms. For example, a past photo of skin is compared with a current photo to evaluate the progression. This allows the user to evaluate the progression of symptoms.

[0102] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0103] Step 1: In the basic information input section, the user inputs basic information such as age, gender, whether or not they have a chronic illness, etc. For example, the user inputs information such as "45 years old, female, no chronic illnesses." Step 2: The symptom input unit describes the symptom in detail in text based on the basic information input by the basic information input unit. For example, the symptom is input in the form of "I've had a bad headache and fever since yesterday." Step 3: The media upload unit uploads photos or videos to complement the medical condition input by the medical condition input unit. For example, if the patient has a rash, the patient can take a photo of it and upload it. It is also possible to take a video of the patient coughing and upload it. Step 4: The judgment unit comprehensively analyzes basic information, medical condition, photos, and videos to determine the need for hospital visits. For example, the generation AI may make a judgment such as, "This symptom is highly urgent, so you should go to the hospital immediately." Step 5: The notification unit notifies the user of the decision made by the decision unit as to whether or not to visit the hospital. For example, the notification may say, "There is no need to visit the hospital, but if your symptoms worsen, please consult a doctor."

The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0142] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0143] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0144] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0145] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0146] 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 processing 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.

[0147] 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. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0148] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0149] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0150] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0151] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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).

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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."

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.
