[0028] (Example 1) A mobility data analysis system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that organizes and analyzes mobility data to realize demand forecasting and dynamic pricing. As a result, the mobility data analysis system can sell demand forecast data and generate revenue.

[0029] A mobility data analysis system according to an embodiment includes a mobility data collection unit, a data reduction unit, a demand forecasting unit, and a dynamic pricing unit. The mobility data collection unit collects mobility data. For example, it collects taxi boarding and alighting data.

For example, taxi boarding and alighting data is obtained from a taxi operation management system. Public transportation usage data is obtained from a transportation card usage history. GPS data is obtained from smartphone location information. The data reduction unit organizes the mobility data collected by the mobility data collection unit. For example, the data reduction unit normalizes the data. The data reduction unit can also filter the data. The data reduction unit can also classify the data. For example, data normalization is a process of standardizing the data format. Data filtering is a process of removing unnecessary data. Data classification is a process of dividing data into specific categories. The demand forecasting unit performs demand forecasting based on the mobility data organized by the data reduction unit. For example, the demand forecasting unit predicts traffic demand in a specific time period or area. The demand forecasting unit can also perform demand forecasts based on the algorithm used. The demand forecasting unit can also evaluate the accuracy of the forecast. For example, traffic demand in a specific time period or area is predicted based on past data. The algorithm used is a machine learning algorithm. The accuracy of the forecast is evaluated by comparing actual data with predicted data. The dynamic pricing unit sets prices based on the demand forecast data generated by the demand forecasting unit. For example, the dynamic pricing unit raises fares during times of high demand. The dynamic pricing unit can also lower fares during times of low demand. The dynamic pricing unit can also fluctuate prices according to the balance between supply and demand. For example, profits are maximized by raising fares during times of high demand. Users are increased by lowering fares during times of low demand. Prices fluctuate according to the balance between supply and demand based on the demand forecast data.As a result, the mobility data analysis system according to the embodiment can organize and analyze mobility data to realize demand forecasting and dynamic pricing. For example, operators of ride-sharing services can create efficient operation plans based on demand forecast data. In addition, new revenue sources can be secured by selling demand forecast data. Furthermore, application of demand forecast data can enable effective measures to be implemented in fields such as public transportation and urban planning.

This improves data quality by automatically identifying and excluding abnormal movement patterns.

[0032] The mobility data collection unit can analyze tourist movement patterns limited to tourist destinations and event venues. The mobility data collection unit, for example, collects mobility data at tourist destinations and event venues and analyzes tourist movement patterns. For example, it identifies movement routes and stay times between major tourist spots. The mobility data collection unit also collects tourist movement data during a specific event period and analyzes the impact of the event. For example, it analyzes changes in traffic volume and movement patterns before and after the event. The mobility data collection unit also builds a system that predicts tourist behavior patterns based on mobility data at tourist destinations and event venues.

In this way, by integrating smart city infrastructure data, it is possible to understand the movements of the entire city in real time.

[0034] The demand forecasting unit can make more precise predictions by taking into account external factors such as seasons, weather, and events. The demand forecasting unit, for example, incorporates seasonal and weather data into the demand forecasting algorithm to make more precise predictions that take external factors into account. For example, it predicts traffic demand during rainy weather and seasonal travel patterns. The demand forecasting unit also incorporates event information into the demand forecasting algorithm to make demand forecasts during specific event periods. For example, it predicts traffic demand during concerts and sporting events. The demand forecasting unit also builds a demand forecasting system that takes external factors into account and predicts demand based on seasonal, weather, and event information.

For example, it utilizes weather forecast data and event calendars. This makes it possible to make more precise demand forecasts by taking into account external factors such as seasons, weather, and events.

[0036] The demand forecasting unit can incorporate not only past data but also future plans. For example, the demand forecasting unit incorporates future transportation infrastructure plans into the demand forecasting algorithm to predict future demand. For example, it performs demand forecasts that take into account construction plans for new railways and roads. The demand forecasting unit also incorporates future planning data into the demand forecasting algorithm to build a system that performs long-term demand forecasts. For example, it predicts demand based on urban development plans and plans to introduce new public transportation systems. The demand forecasting unit also integrates past data and future planning data to improve the demand forecasting algorithm. For example, it predicts demand by combining past travel patterns with new infrastructure plans. In this way, by incorporating past data and future plans, long-term demand forecasts become possible.

[0037] The demand forecasting unit can perform demand forecasting specialized for a specific industry. For example, the demand forecasting unit develops a demand forecasting algorithm specialized for the logistics industry to predict demand in the logistics industry. For example, it predicts demand for delivery routes and warehouses. The demand forecasting unit also builds a demand forecasting system specialized for the tourism industry to predict tourist movement patterns and demand. For example, it predicts congestion at tourist destinations and demand for accommodation facilities. The demand forecasting unit also develops a demand forecasting algorithm specialized for a specific industry to precisely predict demand for each industry. For example, it predicts demand in the medical industry or the education industry. In this way, by performing demand forecasting specialized for a specific industry, it is possible to precisely predict demand for each industry.

[0038] The demand forecasting unit can update the demand forecast data in real time, enabling it to respond to sudden fluctuations in demand. The demand forecasting unit, for example, updates the demand forecast data in real time and builds a system that can respond to sudden fluctuations in demand. For example, it immediately reflects demand fluctuations due to traffic accidents or natural disasters. The demand forecasting unit also updates the demand forecasting algorithm based on real-time data and responds quickly to demand fluctuations. For example, it utilizes real-time traffic data and weather data. The demand forecasting unit also develops a system that monitors the demand forecast data in real time and corrects the forecast as necessary to respond to sudden fluctuations in demand. For example, it responds to sudden cancellations or changes to events. In this way, by updating the demand forecast data in real time, it is possible to respond quickly to sudden fluctuations in demand.

[0039] The dynamic pricing department can incorporate competitors' price trends in real time and set competitive prices. For example, the dynamic pricing department collects competitors' price trends in real time and incorporates them into the dynamic pricing algorithm. For example, the department adjusts its own prices in response to competitors' price fluctuations. The dynamic pricing department also builds a system for setting competitive prices based on competitors' price data. For example, it monitors competitors' prices in real time and sets optimal prices. The dynamic pricing department also analyzes competitors' price trends in real time and improves the dynamic pricing algorithm. For example, it can respond quickly to competitors' price fluctuations. This makes it possible to set competitive prices by incorporating competitors' price trends in real time.

[0040] The dynamic pricing unit can set individually optimized prices by taking into account the user's past usage history and loyalty programs. The dynamic pricing unit, for example, builds a system that provides individually optimized prices based on the user's past usage history. For example, it provides discounted prices to users who use the service frequently. The dynamic pricing unit also sets different prices for each user by taking into account the loyalty program. For example, it provides special prices to users with high loyalty points. The dynamic pricing unit also integrates the user's past usage history and loyalty programs to develop an algorithm that provides individually optimized prices. For example, it adjusts prices according to frequency of use and loyalty points. This makes it possible to set individually optimized prices by taking into account the user's past usage history and loyalty programs.

[0041] The dynamic pricing department can also apply this to other services to build a comprehensive pricing strategy. For example, the dynamic pricing department applies dynamic pricing to hotel and restaurant reservations to develop a system that builds a comprehensive pricing strategy. For example, it adjusts accommodation prices and meal prices according to demand. The dynamic pricing department also develops dynamic pricing algorithms that work in conjunction with other services to realize a comprehensive pricing strategy. For example, it optimizes the price of the entire travel package. The dynamic pricing department also applies dynamic pricing based on hotel and restaurant reservation data to build a comprehensive pricing strategy. For example, it raises prices during periods of high demand and lowers prices during periods of low demand. In this way, a comprehensive pricing strategy can be built by applying dynamic pricing to other services.

[0042] The dynamic pricing unit can improve trust by transparently disclosing the results of dynamic pricing to users and explaining the reasons for price setting. The dynamic pricing unit, for example, builds a system that transparently discloses the results of dynamic pricing to users and explains the reasons for price setting. For example, it shows price fluctuations based on the balance between supply and demand. The dynamic pricing unit also develops an interface for explaining the reasons for price setting to users. For example, it visually displays the factors behind price fluctuations and calculation methods. The dynamic pricing unit also discloses the pricing process to users to improve the transparency of dynamic pricing. For example, it shows price setting based on demand forecast data and the price trends of competitors. In this way, it is possible to transparently disclose the results of dynamic pricing and explain the reasons for price setting, thereby improving user trust.

[0043] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0044] The mobility data analysis system can also collect energy consumption data and optimize energy efficiency. For example, it can collect charging data for electric vehicles and propose optimal charging schedules. It can also evaluate the energy efficiency of transportation methods based on energy consumption data and propose routes with low energy consumption. Furthermore, it can use energy consumption data to analyze energy consumption patterns across the city and improve energy efficiency. Thus, by collecting and analyzing energy consumption data, it is possible to optimize energy efficiency.

[0045] The mobility data collection unit can include real-time data from drones and autonomous vehicles. For example, drones are used to monitor traffic conditions throughout a city in real time and collect mobility data. For example, images captured by drones are analyzed to detect traffic congestion and accidents. Sensor data from autonomous vehicles is also collected to understand traffic conditions in real time. For example, vehicle location information, speed, and information on surrounding obstacles are analyzed to predict traffic patterns. Data from drones and autonomous vehicles is also integrated to build a system that analyzes mobility data throughout a city in real time. For example, multiple data sources are integrated to optimize traffic flow. This makes it possible to collect a wider range of mobility data by including real-time data from drones and autonomous vehicles.

[0046] The mobility data collection unit can incorporate an anomaly detection algorithm to automatically identify and exclude abnormal movement patterns. For example, an anomaly detection algorithm can be used to automatically identify abnormal movement patterns from mobility data.

[0132] 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.

[0133] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414.

[0134] 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 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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).

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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."

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

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.
