[0028] (Example 1) The sleep management system according to an embodiment of the present invention automatically calculates the amount of sleep a user needs, sets wake-up and bedtimes based on a calendar schedule, and uses night mode lighting to induce natural sleep. This allows the sleep management system to automatically create a user's sleeping environment and provide efficient sleep management.

[0029] A sleep management system according to an embodiment includes a sleep requirement calculation unit, a calendar linkage unit, and a night mode lighting control unit. The sleep requirement calculation unit calculates a user's sleep requirement. For example, the sleep requirement calculation unit calculates the user's sleep requirement using a general average based on basic information such as the user's age, gender, and lifestyle. The sleep requirement calculation unit can also calculate an optimal sleep duration for each individual user by continuously collecting and analyzing personal data. The calendar linkage unit sets a wake-up time and a bedtime based on a calendar schedule based on the sleep requirement calculated by the sleep requirement calculation unit. For example, the calendar linkage unit links with the user's work and personal calendars to set a wake-up time based on the schedule and automatically adjust the bedtime to ensure the required sleep duration. The night mode lighting control unit switches the lighting to night mode three hours before the bedtime set by the calendar linkage unit.

For example, it can adjust the brightness of the lighting that will help the user to relax. This makes it possible to automatically adjust the optimal night mode lighting settings based on the user's past sleep data and lighting environment.

[0035] The night mode lighting control unit can provide a relaxing environment by stimulating the five senses with music and fragrance in addition to the night mode lighting. For example, the night mode lighting control unit adds a function to automatically play relaxing music in addition to the night mode lighting. For example, it can play relaxing music before going to bed. The night mode lighting control unit can also add a function to automatically adjust fragrance in addition to the night mode lighting. For example, it can automatically diffuse a relaxing aroma. The night mode lighting control unit can also provide a relaxing environment by stimulating the five senses with music and fragrance in addition to the night mode lighting. For example, it can provide relaxing music and fragrance simultaneously. This allows the night mode lighting to be linked with music and fragrance in addition to the night mode lighting, providing a relaxing environment by stimulating the five senses.

[0036] The night mode lighting control unit can add a function to automatically adjust the optimal lighting settings according to the season and weather. The night mode lighting control unit can add a function to automatically adjust the optimal lighting settings according to the season and weather. For example, it can suggest warmer lighting in winter. The night mode lighting control unit also uses a generative AI to analyze the season and weather and automatically adjust the optimal lighting settings. For example, it can suggest brighter lighting on rainy days. The night mode lighting control unit can also add a function to automatically adjust the optimal lighting settings according to the season and weather. For example, it can suggest lighting with a cooler color temperature in summer. This makes it possible to automatically adjust the optimal lighting settings according to the season and weather.

[0037] The sleep requirement calculation unit incorporates the user's genetic information and can provide the optimal sleep time based on genetic factors. The sleep requirement calculation unit, for example, collects the user's genetic information, and the generation AI calculates the optimal sleep time based on genetic factors. For example, a shorter sleep time can be suggested for a user who is genetically suited to shorter sleep. The sleep requirement calculation unit also analyzes the user's genetic information, and the generation AI suggests the optimal sleep time. For example, a longer sleep time can be suggested for a user who is genetically suited to longer sleep. The sleep requirement calculation unit also calculates the optimal sleep time based on the user's genetic information, and performs individually customized sleep management. For example, the bedtime can be adjusted based on genetic factors. This makes it possible to provide the optimal sleep time based on the user's genetic information.

[0038] The sleep requirement calculation unit can also collect pet sleep data and add a function to synchronize the sleep rhythms of the pet and the user. The sleep requirement calculation unit, for example, collects pet sleep data and provides a function for the generation AI to synchronize the sleep rhythms of the user and the pet. For example, the user's bedtime can be adjusted to match the pet's sleep time. The sleep requirement calculation unit also analyzes the pet's sleep data and the generation AI makes suggestions to synchronize the sleep rhythms of the user and the pet. For example, the user's wake-up time can be set to match the pet's wake-up time.

[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0048] The sleep management system may further include an environmental sensor unit that monitors the user's sleep environment. The environmental sensor unit may, for example, measure the room temperature, humidity, and noise level in real time and adjust the settings to provide an optimal sleep environment. For example, if the temperature is too high, the air conditioner may be automatically adjusted, and if the humidity is too low, the humidifier may be activated. Also, if the noise level is high, white noise may be played to reduce the noise. This allows the user to always sleep in an optimal sleep environment.

[0049] The sleep management system may further include an evaluation unit that evaluates the quality of the user's sleep. The evaluation unit may, for example, monitor the user's heart rate, breathing rate, and body movements to evaluate the quality of sleep. For example, a stable heart rate may be determined to be a deep sleep state, and an irregular breathing rate may be determined to be a light sleep state. Furthermore, a high level of body movement may be determined to be low quality of sleep, and a low level of body movement may be determined to be high quality of sleep. This allows the user to understand the quality of their sleep and receive advice on how to improve it.

[0050] The sleep management system may further include a dream recording unit that records the user's dreams while sleeping. The dream recording unit may, for example, record the content of the dream by voice input immediately after the user wakes up. For example, when the user speaks the content of the dream, the content is converted into text and recorded. The dream recording unit may also allow the user to input the content of the dream by handwriting. This allows the user to record the content of their dream and look back on it later.

[0051] The sleep management system may further include a temperature sensor unit that monitors the user's body temperature while sleeping. The temperature sensor unit may, for example, measure the user's body temperature in real time and adjust the temperature to provide an optimal sleeping environment. For example, if the user's body temperature is too high, a cooling seat may be activated, and if the body temperature is too low, a heating seat may be activated. The temperature sensor unit may also record fluctuations in the user's body temperature and use the data to evaluate the quality of sleep. This allows the user to always sleep at an optimal body temperature.

[0052] The sleep management system may further include an EEG sensor unit that monitors the user's brain waves while they sleep. The EEG sensor unit can, for example, measure the user's brain waves in real time and evaluate the depth of sleep. For example, stable brain waves can be determined to be a deep sleep state, and disturbed brain waves can be determined to be a light sleep state. The EEG sensor unit can also record fluctuations in the user's brain waves and use the data to evaluate the quality of sleep. This allows the user to understand the depth of their sleep and receive advice on how to improve it.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
