The data collection unit also uses a smart mirror to record changes in the user's posture and body shape and integrates this with data from the wearable devices. For example, it evaluates the impact of poor posture on health. The data collection unit also uses AI to analyze data obtained from smart home devices and evaluate overall health risks. For example, it combines data on weight, posture, and exercise volume to create a health improvement plan. This allows data from smart home devices to be integrated for a comprehensive health assessment.

[0033] The data collection unit can develop specialized data collection methods for different age groups and genders to meet individual health needs. For example, the data collection unit develops specialized data collection methods for different age groups, and AI analyzes the data. For example, collecting bone density and muscle strength data for elderly people to assess health risks. The data collection unit can also develop specialized data collection methods for different genders, and AI analyzes the data. For example, collecting hormone balance and menstrual cycle data for women to assess health risks. The data collection unit can also create individual health improvement plans for different age groups and genders. For example, proposing exercise plans for younger people and providing nutritional management advice for elderly people. This allows the development of specialized data collection methods for different age groups and genders to meet individual health needs.

[0034] The plan creation unit can suggest specific activities that match the user's hobbies and lifestyle. For example, the plan creation unit collects data on the user's hobbies and lifestyle, and the AI ​​suggests specific activities based on that data. For example, it creates an exercise plan such as yoga or hiking. The plan creation unit also creates a health improvement plan that matches the user's lifestyle. For example, for a user who does a lot of desk work, it suggests stretches and exercises that can be done in the office. The plan creation unit also suggests activities based on the user's hobbies and lifestyle, allowing the user to improve their health while having fun. For example, for a user who loves the outdoors, it suggests a weekend hiking plan. This makes it possible to suggest specific activities that match the user's hobbies and lifestyle.

[0035] The plan creation unit can incorporate a support system that utilizes the user's social network. For example, the plan creation unit collects data on the user's social network, and the AI ​​builds a support system based on that data. For example, it suggests an exercise plan to do with family and friends. The plan creation unit also creates a health improvement plan that utilizes the social network. For example, it suggests a fitness challenge that can be participated in with friends. The plan creation unit also enables health improvement with the support of family and friends. For example, it suggests a plan for dietary management together with family. In this way, a support system that utilizes the user's social network can be incorporated.

[0036] The plan creation unit can suggest activities according to the season and weather. For example, the plan creation unit builds a system that suggests activities according to the season and weather. For example, it suggests swimming and outdoor activities in the summer, and indoor exercises in the winter. The plan creation unit also collects weather data, and the AI ​​creates a health improvement plan based on that data. For example, it suggests yoga or stretching that can be done indoors on rainy days. The plan creation unit also suggests activities according to the season and weather, allowing the user to carry out the activities without straining themselves. For example, it suggests a relaxation plan that includes hot drinks in the cold season. This makes it possible to suggest activities according to the season and weather.

[0037] The plan creation unit can evaluate the implementation status of the plan and introduce a reward system based on the degree of achievement. The plan creation unit, for example, evaluates the implementation status of a health improvement plan and introduces a reward system based on the degree of achievement. For example, points or badges are awarded to users who achieve their exercise goals. The plan creation unit also monitors the user's implementation status of the plan in real time and builds a system that provides rewards based on the degree of achievement. For example, rewards are set based on the degree of achievement each week. The plan creation unit also uses the reward system to increase the user's motivation. For example, a system is introduced that allows users to receive benefits or gifts by accumulating points. This makes it possible to evaluate the implementation status of the plan and introduce a reward system based on the degree of achievement.

[0038] The monitoring unit can provide specific behavioral instructions to the user when it detects signs of pre-illness. For example, when AI detects signs of pre-illness, the monitoring unit provides specific behavioral instructions to the user. For example, if an abnormal heart rate is detected, it recommends that the user see a doctor. In addition, the monitoring unit suggests specific exercises or dietary changes when it detects signs of pre-illness. For example, if a disturbance in sleep pattern is detected, it suggests relaxation exercises. In addition, the monitoring unit builds a system that provides users with behavioral instructions when signs of pre-illness are detected. For example, if specific symptoms appear, it notifies the user to immediately see a medical institution. In this way, it is possible to provide specific behavioral instructions when signs of pre-illness are detected.

[0039] The monitoring unit can develop an algorithm that compares the user's past health data and detects abnormalities early. For example, the monitoring unit collects the user's past health data and uses AI to develop an algorithm that detects abnormalities early based on that data. For example, it compares past heart rate data with current data to detect abnormalities. The monitoring unit also compares past health data with current data to build a system that detects signs of pre-illness early. For example, it analyzes changes in sleep patterns to detect abnormalities. The monitoring unit also develops an algorithm that detects signs of pre-illness early based on the user's past health data. For example, it compares past exercise data with current data to detect abnormalities. This makes it possible to develop an algorithm that compares past health data to detect abnormalities early.

[0040] The monitoring unit can build a system that notifies the user's family and medical professionals when it detects signs of pre-disease and encourages early intervention. The monitoring unit, for example, builds a system that notifies the user's family when it detects signs of pre-disease. For example, if an abnormal heart rate is detected, it notifies the family by email or SMS. The monitoring unit also builds a system that notifies medical professionals when it detects signs of pre-disease. For example, if a disturbance in sleep pattern is detected, it notifies a doctor. The monitoring unit also develops a system that notifies the user's family and medical professionals of signs of pre-disease and encourages early intervention. For example, if a specific symptom appears, it sends an alert to the family and medical professionals. This makes it possible to build a system that notifies the family and medical professionals when it detects signs of pre-disease and encourages early intervention.

[0041] The monitoring department can set up an online community in which users can participate to prevent the progression of ME-BYO, and can provide information sharing and support. The monitoring department can set up an online community in which users can participate to prevent the progression of ME-BYO, for example, by providing a forum for sharing health information and advice. The monitoring department can also create an environment in which users can support each other through the online community. For example, it can provide a mechanism for sharing the progress of health improvement plans and encouraging each other. The monitoring department can also utilize the online community to provide information on preventing the progression of ME-BYO. For example, it can hold webinars and Q&A sessions by experts. This makes it possible to set up an online community in which users can participate to prevent the progression of ME-BYO, and can provide information sharing and support.

[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 data collection unit can collect data on the user's living environment and evaluate health risks. For example, the data collection unit collects data on the user's living environment, such as air quality, temperature, and humidity, and AI analyzes this data to evaluate health risks. The data collection unit can also collect data on the user's work environment and evaluate its impact on stress levels and work efficiency. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect data on the user's commuting route and means of transportation and evaluate commuting stress and health risks. This makes it possible to evaluate health risks that take into account the user's entire living environment.

[0044] The analysis unit can predict seasonal health risks based on the user's health data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze past health data to identify seasonal health risks. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the risk of influenza in winter and the risk of heatstroke in summer. The analysis unit can also suggest preventive measures based on seasonal health risks. For example, the analysis unit can recommend taking vitamin D in winter and emphasize the importance of staying hydrated in summer. The analysis unit can also create an individual health improvement plan that takes seasonal health risks into account. This makes it possible to predict seasonal health risks and suggest appropriate preventive measures.

[0045] The monitoring unit can evaluate the effectiveness of exercise in real time based on the user's exercise data. For example, the monitoring unit collects data such as heart rate, calorie consumption, and exercise time, and AI analyzes this data to evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise. The monitoring unit can also suggest to the user whether to continue or adjust the exercise based on the effectiveness of the exercise.

[0106] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0107] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0108] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0109] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0110] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0111] In the headset type terminal 314, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0112] 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.

[0113] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0114] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI 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.

In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0124] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0127] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48.

The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0128] 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.

[0129] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0130] 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 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.

[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. 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.

[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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[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. 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.

[0144] 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.

[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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.
