Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The drug information provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides users with accurate information about the drug's effects, dosage, and drug interaction precautions by providing the name of the drug prescribed at the pharmacy to a generation AI, while also referencing past prescription data.
[0029] A drug information provision system according to an embodiment includes a drug name input unit, an analysis unit, an effect explanation unit, and a dosage instruction unit. The drug name input unit allows a user to input a drug name. For example, the user inputs the drug name using a smartphone keyboard. The drug name input unit can also recognize drug names using voice input. For example, when a user speaks a drug name into a microphone, it is converted into text using voice recognition technology. The analysis unit analyzes the drug name input by the drug name input unit. For example, a generation AI compares the drug name with a database to obtain information about the drug. The generation AI can analyze the drug name using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The effect explanation unit explains the drug effect analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI may respond in the form of, "Aspirin is effective in reducing pain and inflammation." The effect explanation unit can also explain the drug's side effects and precautions for use. For example, the generation AI may respond in the form of, "Aspirin may put a strain on the stomach and intestines, so please take it after a meal." The dosage instruction unit instructs the user on the correct way to take the medicine analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI may respond in the form of "Take one aspirin tablet with water after each meal." The dosage instruction unit may also instruct the user on the timing and dosage of the medicine. For example, the response may be "Take aspirin three times a day after each meal." This allows the drug information provision system according to the embodiment to allow the user to input the name of the medicine and understand the effects and dosage of the medicine. For example, by understanding the effects of the medicine, the user can take the medicine at the appropriate time. Furthermore, receiving instructions on how to take the medicine can maximize the effectiveness of the medicine.
[0030] The drug name input unit recognizes drug names using voice input, and the generation AI can analyze the voice data. For example, a user can use a smartphone microphone to input the name of a drug by voice, and the generation AI converts the voice data into text and analyzes it. For example, when the user pronounces "aspirin," the generation AI recognizes the speech and obtains drug information. Furthermore, the drug name input unit can present multiple candidates, taking into account differences in the user's pronunciation during voice input. For example, it could display both "aspirin" and "aspirina" as candidates, allowing the user to select the correct drug name. Furthermore, the drug name input unit can use technology that removes background noise during voice input to accurately recognize drug names. For example, it can accurately recognize "aspirin" even in a noisy environment and provide drug information. This allows users to easily input drug names using voice input.
[0031] The drug name input section can provide an input completion function by referencing the user's past search history and prescription history. For example, when a user begins to enter a drug name, the generation AI automatically completes candidates based on past search history and prescription history. For example, if the user enters "as," candidates such as "aspirin" and "aspartic acid" are displayed. The drug name input section can also refer to the user's past prescription history and prioritize the display of names of drugs previously prescribed to the user. For example, if the user has been prescribed "aspirin" in the past, entering "as" will display "aspirin" first. The drug name input section can also learn the user's input history and prioritize the completion of frequently used drug names. For example, if a user frequently searches for "aspirin," simply entering "a" will display "aspirin." This makes it easier for users to enter drug names by referencing past history.
[0032] The drug name input unit can input and analyze drug names through a smartphone app or wearable device, allowing users to easily access the system anywhere. For example, a smartphone app can be developed to allow users to input and analyze drug names. For example, when a user opens the app and inputs "aspirin," the generation AI provides drug information. The drug name input unit can also input drug names via voice using a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch), and the generation AI can analyze the data. For example, when a user speaks "aspirin" into a smartwatch, the generation AI displays drug information. The drug name input unit can also input and analyze drug names through a smartphone app or wearable device, allowing users to easily obtain drug information while on the go. For example, the user can check the information immediately after receiving the drug at the pharmacy. This allows users to easily input and analyze drug names anywhere.
[0033] The medicine name input unit can obtain information directly from the medicine package using a barcode scanner. For example, the medicine name input unit uses a smartphone camera to scan the barcode printed on the medicine package, and the generation AI analyzes the information. For example, scanning an aspirin package displays information about the medicine. The medicine name input unit can also add a QR code to medicine packages provided at pharmacies, allowing users to obtain information about the medicine by scanning it. For example, when the QR code is scanned, the generation AI displays the medicine's effects and how to take it. The medicine name input unit can also obtain information directly from the medicine package using a barcode scanner, eliminating the need for users to manually enter information. For example, instead of entering the name of the medicine, the information can be displayed simply by scanning the barcode. This makes it easy to obtain medicine information using a barcode scanner.
[0034] The effect explanation unit can provide individually customized information taking into account the user's health condition and past medical history. For example, the generation AI can refer to the user's health condition and past medical history to individually customize and explain the effects of a drug. For example, for a user who has previously suffered from a stomach ulcer, the effect explanation unit can provide a detailed explanation of the effects of aspirin on the gastrointestinal tract. The effect explanation unit can also provide individually customized explanations of the effects of a drug based on the user's health data. For example, for a user with diabetes, the effect of aspirin on blood sugar levels can be explained. The effect explanation unit can also provide individually customized explanations of the effects of a drug based on the user's past medical history. For example, for a user with a history of heart disease, the effect of aspirin on the cardiovascular system can be explained in detail. This makes it possible to provide individually customized information based on the user's health condition and past medical history.
[0035] The effect explanation unit can use visual aids to make the effects of a drug easier to understand visually when explaining the effects of the drug. For example, when the generation AI explains the effects of a drug, the effect explanation unit uses diagrams and graphs to make it easier to understand visually. For example, a graph showing the effects of aspirin can be displayed to visually explain the pain relief effect. The effect explanation unit can also use videos to explain the effects of the drug to make it easier for the user to visually understand. For example, an animated video showing how aspirin works in the body can be displayed. The effect explanation unit can also use visual aids to provide an interface that visually explains the effects of the drug. For example, illustrations and icons showing the effects of aspirin can be displayed to allow the user to intuitively understand. In this way, the use of visual aids makes it easier to visually understand the effects of the drug.
[0036] The effect explanation unit can provide explanations in different languages when explaining the effects of a drug, enabling multilingual support. For example, when the generation AI explains the effects of a drug, the effect explanation unit provides an explanation in a language selected by the user. For example, the effects of aspirin are explained in multiple languages, such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. The effect explanation unit can also provide a multilingual interface, allowing the user to understand the effects of the drug in their preferred language. For example, a language can be selected within the app, and the effects of aspirin can be displayed in that language. The effect explanation unit can also use the generation AI's automatic translation function to translate the effects of the drug into different languages in real time and provide them to the user. For example, the effects of aspirin can be translated from Japanese to English and displayed. This allows multilingual support, allowing the effects of the drug to be explained in different languages.
[0037] The effect explanation unit can provide customized information according to the user's age and gender. For example, the generation AI can customize and explain the effects of a drug by taking into account the user's age and gender. For example, it can provide detailed explanations about the side effects of aspirin to elderly people. The effect explanation unit can also develop an interface that provides customized information according to the user's age and gender. For example, it can explain the use of aspirin during pregnancy to women. The effect explanation unit can also customize and provide individually customized information about the effects of a drug based on the generation AI's age and gender. For example, it can explain the use of aspirin during sports to younger people. This makes it possible to provide information according to the user's age and gender.
[0038] The dosage instruction unit can suggest the optimal dosage by taking into consideration the user's lifestyle and eating patterns. For example, the generation AI in the dosage instruction unit refers to the user's lifestyle and eating patterns and individually customizes and instructs how to take medicine. For example, a user who does not eat breakfast may be suggested to take aspirin after lunch. The dosage instruction unit can also provide customized dosage instructions by the generation AI based on the user's eating patterns. For example, a vegetarian user may be suggested to not take aspirin with certain ingredients. The dosage instruction unit can also provide customized dosage instructions by taking into consideration the user's lifestyle. For example, a user who works the night shift may be suggested to take aspirin at night. This allows the generation AI to suggest the optimal dosage based on the user's lifestyle and eating patterns.
[0039] The dosage instruction unit can provide a reminder function to help the user remember to take their medicine. For example, the generation AI can provide the reminder function to notify the user when it's time to take their medicine. For example, a notification can be displayed on a smartphone when it's time to take their aspirin. The dosage instruction unit can also use the reminder function to help the user not forget to take their medicine. For example, a voice assistant can remind the user when it's time to take their aspirin. The generation AI can also provide the reminder function to automatically add the time for the user to take their medicine to a calendar. For example, the time to take their aspirin is displayed on a calendar and a notification is set. This allows the reminder function to help the user not forget to take their medicine.
[0040] The medication instruction unit can work in conjunction with the user's smart home devices and provide reminders through a voice assistant. For example, the generation AI in the medication instruction unit works in conjunction with smart home devices and reminds the user how to take their medicine through a voice assistant. For example, Alexa or Google Home can notify the user when it's time to take their aspirin. The medication instruction unit can also work in conjunction with the user's smart home devices to create a system in which a voice assistant reminds the user how to take their medicine. For example, a smart speaker can notify the user when it's time to take their aspirin. The medication instruction unit can also work in conjunction with smart home devices and provide a function to remind the user how to take their medicine through a voice assistant. For example, a smart display can display the time to take their aspirin. This allows the system to work in conjunction with smart home devices and provide reminders through a voice assistant.
[0041] The dosage instruction unit can work in conjunction with the user's fitness tracker to suggest dosage instructions based on the user's exercise and activity level. For example, the generation AI in the dosage instruction unit can work in conjunction with the fitness tracker to suggest dosage instructions based on the user's exercise and activity level. For example, the generation AI can instruct the user to take aspirin after exercise. The dosage instruction unit can also work in conjunction with the user's fitness tracker to customize and provide dosage instructions based on the user's exercise and activity level. For example, the generation AI can adjust the timing of aspirin intake on days when the user is very active. The dosage instruction unit can also work in conjunction with the fitness tracker to suggest dosage instructions based on the user's exercise data. For example, the generation AI can instruct the user to take aspirin before exercise. This allows the unit to work in conjunction with the fitness tracker to suggest dosage instructions based on the user's exercise and activity level.
[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0043] The drug name input section can provide an input completion function that takes into account the user's health condition and past medical history. For example, when a user begins to enter a drug name, the generation AI automatically completes candidates based on past medical history. For example, if the user enters "as," candidates such as "aspirin" and "aspartic acid" that have been prescribed in the past are displayed. The drug name input section can also refer to the user's health condition and prioritize the display of specific drug names. For example, for a user with a history of heart disease, names of drugs related to the cardiovascular system are prioritized. The drug name input section can also learn the user's medical history and prioritize the completion of frequently used drug names. For example, if a user frequently searches for "aspirin," simply entering "a" will display "aspirin." This makes it easier for users to enter drug names by referring to their past medical history and health condition.
[0044] The drug name input section can provide an input completion function that takes into account the user's lifestyle and eating patterns. For example, when a user begins to enter a drug name, the generation AI automatically completes candidates based on the user's lifestyle and eating patterns. For example, if a user enters "as," candidates such as "aspirin" and "aspartic acid" will be displayed for a user who does not eat breakfast. The drug name input section can also refer to the user's eating patterns and prioritize the display of specific drug names. For example, for a vegetarian user, names of plant-derived drugs will be prioritized. The drug name input section can also learn the user's lifestyle and prioritize the completion of frequently used drug names. For example, if a user frequently searches for "aspirin," simply entering "a" will display "aspirin." This makes it easier for users to enter drug names by referring to their lifestyle and eating patterns.
[0045] The effect explanation unit can provide individually customized information taking into account the user's health condition and past medical history. For example, the generation AI can refer to the user's health condition and past medical history to provide an individually customized explanation of the effects of a medicine. For example, for a user who has previously suffered from a stomach ulcer, the generation AI can provide a detailed explanation of the effects of aspirin on the gastrointestinal tract. The effect explanation unit can also provide individually customized explanations of the effects of a medicine based on the user's health data. For example, for a user with diabetes, the generation AI can provide an explanation of the effects of aspirin on blood sugar levels. The effect explanation unit can also provide individually customized explanations of the effects of a medicine taking into account the user's past medical history. For example, for a user with a history of heart disease, the generation AI can provide a detailed explanation of the effects of aspirin on the cardiovascular system. This makes it possible to provide individually customized information based on the user's health condition and past medical history.
[0046] The effect explanation unit can use visual aids to make the effects of a drug easier to understand visually when explaining the effects of the drug. For example, when the generation AI explains the effects of a drug, it uses diagrams and graphs to make it easier to understand visually. For example, it can display a graph showing the effects of aspirin to visually explain its pain-relieving effect. The effect explanation unit can also use videos to explain the effects of the drug to make it easier for the user to understand visually. For example, it can display an animated video showing how aspirin works in the body. The effect explanation unit can also use visual aids to provide an interface that visually explains the effects of the drug. For example, it can display illustrations and icons showing the effects of aspirin to allow the user to intuitively understand. In this way, the use of visual aids makes it easier to visually understand the effects of the drug.
[0047] The dosage instruction unit can suggest the optimal dosage by taking into account the user's lifestyle and eating patterns. For example, the generation AI can refer to the user's lifestyle and eating patterns and provide individually customized instructions on how to take medicine. For example, a user who does not eat breakfast can be suggested to take aspirin after lunch. The dosage instruction unit can also provide customized instructions on how to take medicine by the generation AI based on the user's eating patterns. For example, a vegetarian user can be told not to take aspirin with certain ingredients. The dosage instruction unit can also provide individually customized instructions on how to take medicine by taking into account the user's lifestyle. For example, a user who works the night shift can be suggested to take aspirin at night. This allows the system to suggest the optimal dosage based on the user's lifestyle and eating patterns.
[0048] The dosage instruction unit can provide a reminder function to help the user remember to take their medicine. For example, the generation AI can provide the reminder function and notify the user when it's time to take their medicine. For example, a notification can be displayed on a smartphone when it's time to take their aspirin. The dosage instruction unit can also use the reminder function to help the user not forget to take their medicine. For example, a voice assistant can remind the user when it's time to take their aspirin.

For example, the time to take their aspirin is displayed on a calendar and a notification is set. This allows the reminder function to help the user not forget to take their medicine.
[0049] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0050] Step 1: The medicine name input unit allows the user to input the name of the medicine. For example, the user inputs the name of the medicine using the keyboard on the smartphone. The medicine name input unit can also recognize the name of the medicine using voice input. For example, when the user speaks the name of the medicine into the microphone, it is converted into text using voice recognition technology. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the drug name entered by the drug name input unit. For example, the generation AI compares the drug name with a database and obtains information about the drug. The generation AI can analyze the drug name using text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Step 3: The effect explanation section explains the effects of the drug analyzed by the analysis section. For example, the generation AI might respond, "Aspirin is effective in reducing pain and inflammation." The effect explanation section can also explain the drug's side effects and precautions for use. For example, it might respond, "Aspirin can put a strain on the stomach and intestines, so please take it after a meal." Step 4: The dosage instruction unit instructs the user on the correct way to take the medicine analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI might respond, "Take one aspirin tablet with water after a meal." The dosage instruction unit can also instruct the user on the timing and dosage of the medicine. For example, it might respond, "Take aspirin three times a day after each meal."

This allows the drug information provision system according to the embodiment to allow the user to input the name of the medicine and understand the effects and dosage of the medicine. For example, by understanding the effects of the medicine, the user can take the medicine at the appropriate time. Furthermore, receiving instructions on how to take the medicine can maximize the effectiveness of the medicine.
[0053] The drug name input unit recognizes drug names using voice input, and the generation AI can analyze the voice data. For example, a user can use a smartphone microphone to input the name of a drug by voice, and the generation AI converts the voice data into text and analyzes it. For example, when the user pronounces "aspirin," the generation AI recognizes the speech and obtains drug information. Furthermore, the drug name input unit can present multiple candidates, taking into account differences in the user's pronunciation during voice input. For example, it could display both "aspirin" and "aspirina" as candidates, allowing the user to select the correct drug name. Furthermore, the drug name input unit can use technology that removes background noise during voice input to accurately recognize drug names. For example, it can accurately recognize "aspirin" even in a noisy environment and provide drug information. This allows users to easily input drug names using voice input.
[0054] The drug name input section can provide an input completion function by referencing the user's past search history and prescription history. For example, when a user begins to enter a drug name, the generation AI automatically completes candidates based on past search history and prescription history. For example, if the user enters "as," candidates such as "aspirin" and "aspartic acid" are displayed. The drug name input section can also refer to the user's past prescription history and prioritize the display of names of drugs previously prescribed to the user. For example, if the user has been prescribed "aspirin" in the past, entering "as" will display "aspirin" first. The drug name input section can also learn the user's input history and prioritize the completion of frequently used drug names. For example, if a user frequently searches for "aspirin," simply entering "a" will display "aspirin." This makes it easier for users to enter drug names by referencing past history.
[0055] The medicine name input unit can use emotion estimation to analyze the user's emotions when entering a medicine name and provide advice to reduce stress and anxiety. For example, when a user enters a medicine name, the generation AI analyzes their facial expressions and voice tone to detect stress and anxiety. For example, if the user is nervous, it displays advice to relax. The medicine name input unit can also use emotion estimation to monitor the user's emotions in real time when entering a medicine name and provide positive feedback. For example, if anxiety is detected when entering "aspirin," it displays a message such as "Don't worry, that's the correct medicine name." The medicine name input unit can also customize the input interface according to the user's emotional state. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can change the color of the input screen to a calming color to enhance the relaxation effect. This allows the system to analyze the user's emotions and provide advice to reduce stress and anxiety.
[0056] The drug name input unit can input and analyze drug names through a smartphone app or wearable device, allowing users to easily access the system anywhere.

For example, when a user speaks "aspirin" into a smartwatch, the generation AI displays drug information. The drug name input unit can also input and analyze drug names through a smartphone app or wearable device, allowing users to easily obtain drug information while on the go. For example, the user can check the information immediately after receiving the drug at the pharmacy. This allows users to easily input and analyze drug names anywhere.
[0057] The medicine name input unit can obtain information directly from the medicine package using a barcode scanner. For example, the medicine name input unit uses a smartphone camera to scan the barcode printed on the medicine package, and the generation AI analyzes the information. For example, scanning an aspirin package displays information about the medicine. The medicine name input unit can also add a QR code to medicine packages provided at pharmacies, allowing users to obtain information about the medicine by scanning it. For example, when the QR code is scanned, the generation AI displays the medicine's effects and how to take it. The medicine name input unit can also obtain information directly from the medicine package using a barcode scanner, eliminating the need for users to manually enter information. For example, instead of entering the name of the medicine, the information can be displayed simply by scanning the barcode. This makes it easy to obtain medicine information using a barcode scanner.
[0058] The effect explanation unit can provide individually customized information taking into account the user's health condition and past medical history.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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).
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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."
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.

[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.

Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
