This allows the environmental control system to optimally control the greenhouse environment and ensure the quality and yield of crops.
[0029] The environmental control system according to the embodiment includes an environmental data collection unit, an analysis unit, a setting unit, and an adjustment unit. The environmental data collection unit collects environmental data from within the greenhouse. For example, a temperature sensor measures the temperature within the greenhouse and transmits the data to the generation AI 4.0. A humidity sensor can also measure humidity and transmit the data to the generation AI 4.0. A carbon dioxide sensor can also measure carbon dioxide concentration and transmit the data to the generation AI 4.0.

For example, it adjusts sensor position according to changes in the season or weather to maintain data accuracy. This optimizes sensor placement and improves data accuracy.
[0031] The analysis unit compares past environmental data with current data and detects anomalies, allowing preventative environmental adjustments to be made. For example, the analysis unit's Generator AI 4.0 compares past environmental data with current data to detect anomalies. For example, it detects sudden changes in temperature or humidity and makes preventative adjustments. It also uses anomaly detection algorithms to analyze anomalies in environmental data in real time. For example, it detects an abnormal increase in carbon dioxide concentration and responds immediately. Furthermore, Generator AI 4.0 learns from past data and identifies patterns of anomalies. For example, it predicts anomalies that will occur during specific seasons or times of day and takes measures in advance. This makes it possible to make preventative environmental adjustments through anomaly detection.
[0032] The adjustment unit can optimize the operating schedule of the environmental adjustment device to maximize energy efficiency. For example, the adjustment unit uses generation AI 4.0 to analyze the operating schedule of the environmental adjustment device and set the optimal schedule to maximize energy efficiency.

Furthermore, generation AI 4.0 performs optimization to maximize the use of renewable energy. For example, it adjusts the operating hours of environmental adjustment devices to reduce energy consumption. In this way, sustainable agriculture can be achieved by utilizing renewable energy.
[0034] The adjustment unit can use music or sound waves to adjust the environment in the greenhouse to promote crop growth. For example, the adjustment unit constructs a system in which the generation AI 4.0 uses music or sound waves to promote crop growth. For example, sound waves of a specific frequency are used to promote growth. The generation AI 4.0 also analyzes the effects of music or sound waves and selects the optimal music or sound waves. For example, it plays music that is effective in promoting growth. Furthermore, the generation AI 4.0 learns data on the use of music and sound waves and sets the optimal conditions to maximize crop growth. For example, it plays music at a specific time of day. This makes it possible to promote crop growth by using music and sound waves.
[0035] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

The drones can also patrol different areas of the greenhouse to prevent data bias. Furthermore, the drones can periodically change the position of the sensors to improve data accuracy. This allows for efficient collection of environmental data using drones.
[0037] The environmental data collection unit can monitor the microbial environment in the greenhouse and evaluate the health of the crops.

For example, a temperature sensor measures the temperature in the greenhouse and sends the data to the generated AI 4.0. A humidity sensor can also measure humidity and send the data to the generated AI 4.0. A carbon dioxide sensor can also measure the carbon dioxide concentration and send the data to the generated AI 4.0. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the environmental data collected by the environmental data collection unit. For example, the generation AI 4.0 analyzes data such as the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and light intensity inside the greenhouse in real time to identify the optimal environmental conditions for growing crops. The generation AI 4.0 performs analysis based on prompts containing the greenhouse's environmental data. Step 3: The setting unit sets the optimal environmental conditions based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI 4.0 activates the cooling device if the temperature is too high, activates the humidifier if the humidity is too low, turns on the lights if there is insufficient light, and activates the carbon dioxide supply device if the carbon dioxide concentration is low. Step 4: The adjustment unit adjusts the environment in the greenhouse based on the environmental conditions set by the setting unit. For example, the generation AI 4.0 optimizes the operating times of cooling devices and humidifiers to reduce energy consumption. It also reduces power consumption by minimizing the lighting time. As a result, the environmental control system according to the embodiment can optimally control the environment in the greenhouse and ensure the quality and yield of crops.

[0114] 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.
[0115] 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.
[0116] 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.
[0117] 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).
[0118] 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.
[0119] 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."
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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.
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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.
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
