[0040] Explanation of program processing

[0041] Data collection

[0042] The server collects base station operation information (power consumption, number of connected devices, data traffic volume, etc.). This includes periodic data transmission from each base station and data acquisition via API. The server also uses weather data API to acquire real-time weather information (temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine hours, etc.).

[0043] Examples:

[0044] The server receives information on power consumption and the number of connected devices from base station A, and also obtains the current weather conditions through a weather data API.

[0045] Data preprocessing and analysis

[0046] The server preprocesses the collected data, fills in incomplete data, and converts data types. It then analyzes the preprocessed data to determine optimal power consumption patterns and the timing for switching energy sources. Machine learning algorithms are used for the analysis, and predictions are made based on historical data and current conditions.

[0047] Examples:

[0048] The server fills in missing data from base station A and weather data, normalizes the data, and then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze optimal power consumption patterns and determine when to switch between solar power generation and the power grid.

[0049] Control command generation and execution

[0050] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for each base station to change its power consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to each base station to change its power supply.

[0051] Examples:

[0052] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a control command to switch power supply to solar power generation for base station A and sends it to base station A. Base station A receives this control command and switches the power supply source.

[0053] Renewable Energy Management

[0054] The server constantly monitors the power output of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines) and the power consumption of base stations. To ensure efficient power generation and consumption, it optimizes the use of renewable energy to maximize power generation efficiency.

[0055] Examples:

[0056] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated by the solar panels and the power consumption of base station A, and adjusts the angle of the panels to maximize power generation efficiency.

[0057] Providing a user interface

[0066] Step 2: Obtaining weather data

[0067] The server obtains weather data in real time via an API, specifically information such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and sunshine hours.

[0068] Examples:

[0069] The server uses the weather data API to obtain weather data around base station A.

[0070] Step 3: Preprocessing the data

[0071] The server preprocesses the collected operational information and weather data, complementing incomplete data and converting and normalizing data types as necessary.

[0072] Examples:

[0073] If the power consumption data of base station A is missing, the server complements it based on past data.

[0074] Step 4: Analysis

[0075] The server then analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[0076] Examples:

[0077] The server provides input data to a machine learning model to infer when to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0078] Step 5: Generate control commands

[0079] Based on the analysis results, the server generates power consumption patterns and control commands for switching energy sources for each base station.

[0080] Examples:

[0081] The server generates a control command including an instruction for base station A to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0082] Step 6: Send and execute commands

[0083] The server transmits the generated control commands to each base station, which then executes the power supply changes accordingly.

[0084] Examples:

[0085] The server sends a control command to base station A, and based on this command, base station A switches its power source from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0086] Step 7: Renewable energy monitoring

[0087] The server constantly monitors the power generation and consumption of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines).

[0088] Examples:

[0089] The server periodically retrieves power generation data from the solar panels and compares it with consumption patterns.

[0090] Step 8: Optimize energy use

[0091] The server optimizes the settings to maximize the efficiency of renewable energy use, adjusting the angle of the panels and changing the proportion of wind power used based on weather and power generation data.

[0092] Examples:

[0093] The server sends adjustment instructions to optimize the angle of the solar panels on sunny days.

[0094] Step 9: Update the User Interface

[0095] The server updates the user interface with the analysis results and current system status accordingly.

[0096] Examples:

[0097] The server reflects the analysis results on the user interface, allowing users to view the information in real time.

[0098] Step 10: Accept manual adjustments

[0099] Users can manually adjust system settings using the provided user interface, which allows for immediate effect of setting changes under specific conditions.

[0100] Examples:

[0101] Users operate an administration panel and manually optimize the settings for a particular base station.

[0104] In modern society, base stations consume a huge amount of power, making its optimization a critical issue. While utilizing renewable energy sources in particular contributes to the preservation of the global environment, their efficient use is difficult. Furthermore, due to fluctuations in weather conditions and daily changes in base station loads, it is necessary to optimize real-time power consumption patterns and the timing of switching between energy sources. Furthermore, systems must be able to provide users with an easy-to-understand overview of the system's status, with the ability to manually adjust it as needed. Because conventional methods are unable to adequately resolve these issues, new technologies are needed.

[0105] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

[0212] Explanation of program processing

[0213] Data collection

[0214] The server collects operational information from the automated robots installed in the factory. This operational information includes power consumption, operating time, task type, etc. It also uses a weather data API to obtain real-time weather data, including temperature, humidity, and sunshine hours.

[0215] Data preprocessing and analysis

[0216] The server preprocesses the collected operational information and weather data, complements incomplete data, and converts data types. It then analyzes the preprocessed data and uses machine learning algorithms to make predictions to determine optimal energy consumption patterns and the timing for switching energy sources. The software used is Python and TensorFlow.

[0217] Control command generation and execution

[0218] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for the robot to change its energy consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to the robot to change its energy supply.

[0219] Renewable energy equipment management

[0220] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated and consumed by renewable energy devices (e.g., solar power generation devices, wind power generation devices) and optimizes their use to maximize power generation efficiency, thereby enabling efficient management of the robot's energy supply.

[0221] Providing a user interface

[0222] The user can monitor the system status in real time and make necessary configuration changes using the provided user interface, which displays the system analysis results and current operating status. The software used is Flask.

[0223] Specific examples

[0224] For example, you might use the following prompts to input to a generative AI model:

[0225] Prompt statement:

[0226] "Generate and send control commands to switch Robot A's power supply to solar power during sunny hours. Also provide optimal energy consumption patterns based on real-time weather data."

[0227] As described above, by building an energy management system for automated robots in factories, it is possible to optimize energy consumption and efficiently use renewable energy.

[0228] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0229] Step 1:

[0235] Input: API request

[0236] Output: Captured real-time weather data

[0237] Step 3:

[0238] The server preprocesses the collected operational information and acquired weather data. It performs data cleaning to fill in incomplete data and convert data types. Specifically, this includes filling in missing values, normalizing data, and correcting outliers.

[0244] Output: Optimal energy consumption pattern, timing for switching energy sources

[0245] Step 5:

[0246] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for the robot to determine its energy consumption pattern and switch its energy source. The server then sends the control commands to the robot to change its energy supply. The control commands specifically instruct the robot's behavior, including switching the power supply source.

[0247] Input: Optimal energy consumption pattern, timing to switch energy sources

[0248] Output: Control commands to the robot

[0249] Step 6:

[0250] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated and consumed by renewable energy devices (solar power generation devices, wind power generation devices). Specifically, it periodically acquires the parameters of the power generation devices using a sensor system and sends the data to the monitoring system. The angle of the panels and turbines is automatically adjusted to maximize power generation efficiency.

[0251] Input: Sensor information of the power generation equipment

[0252] Output: Maximum efficiency power generation

[0253] Step 7:

[0254] The user uses the provided user interface to monitor the system status in real time and change the settings as needed. The interface displays the analysis results obtained from the system and the current operating status. The user can also manually adjust the settings. The interface is built using Flask.

[0255] Input: Analysis results and operational status from the system

[0256] Output: Operational status reflecting the user's configuration changes

[0257] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0258] This invention combines an emotion engine with a system for optimizing base station energy conservation and renewable energy utilization. The system collects base station operation information, acquires weather data, analyzes the data, and determines optimal power consumption patterns and energy source switching timing. It also controls the base station's power supply and monitors the power generation and consumption of renewable energy devices to optimize efficient energy utilization. Furthermore, the system status is displayed through a user interface, allowing for manual adjustment of settings. An emotion engine that recognizes user emotions has also been added to improve the user experience.

[0259] Explanation of program processing

[0260] Data collection

[0261] The server collects operational information from base stations. Specifically, it obtains information such as power consumption, number of connected devices, and data traffic volume from each base station. This data is collected periodically using an API.

[0264] Data preprocessing and analysis

[0265] The server preprocesses the collected data, complements incomplete data, and converts and normalizes data types as needed. The preprocessed data is then analyzed to determine optimal power consumption patterns and the timing of switching energy sources. Machine learning algorithms are used in the analysis to make predictions based on historical data and current conditions.

[0266] Examples:

[0267] The server fills in missing data from base station A and weather data, normalizes the data, and then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze optimal power consumption patterns and determine when to switch between solar power generation and the power grid.

[0268] Control command generation and execution

[0269] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for each base station to change its power consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to each base station to change its power supply.

[0270] Examples:

[0278] Examples:

[0279] Users can check the power consumption and power generation status of base station A through the management panel, and if they want to manually fine-tune the settings, they can do so on the interface.

[0280] Combining Emotion Engines

[0281] The server is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., and automatically adjusts the system settings and interface based on the analysis results.

[0282] Examples:

[0283] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the voice tone and facial expressions of the user when operating the interface, and if it determines that the user is under high stress, it activates an assist function to make operating the interface easier.

[0284] This allows the system to maximize energy efficiency while providing a user-friendly operating environment.

[0285] The processing flow will be explained below.

[0286] Step 1: Data collection

[0287] The server collects operational information from base stations. Specifically, it obtains information from each base station, such as power consumption, number of connected devices, and data traffic volume. This data is collected periodically using an API.

[0288] Examples:

[0290] Step 2: Obtaining weather data

[0291] The server obtains weather data in real time via an API, specifically information such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and sunshine hours.

[0292] Examples:

[0293] The server uses the weather data API to obtain weather data around base station A.

[0294] Step 3: Preprocessing the data

[0295] The server preprocesses the collected operational information and weather data, complementing incomplete data and converting data types as necessary to normalize it.

[0296] Examples:

[0297] If there is a gap in the power consumption data of base station A, the server will supplement it based on past data.

[0298] Step 4: Analysis

[0299] The server analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[0300] Examples:

[0301] The server inputs the data into a machine learning model to infer when to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0302] Step 5: Generate control commands

[0303] The server generates a power consumption pattern and a control command for switching the energy source for each base station based on the analysis result.

[0304] Examples:

[0305] The server generates a control command for base station A, which includes an instruction to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0306] Step 6: Send and execute commands

[0307] The server transmits the generated control command to each base station to change the power supply.

[0308] Examples:

[0309] The server sends a control command to base station A, and base station A switches the power supply source from solar power generation to the power grid based on this command.

[0310] Step 7: Renewable energy monitoring

[0311] The server constantly monitors the power generation and consumption of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines).

[0312] Examples:

[0314] Step 8: Optimize energy use

[0315] The server optimizes the settings to maximize the efficiency of renewable energy use, adjusting the angle of the panels and changing the proportion of wind power used based on weather and power generation data.

[0316] Examples:

[0317] The server provides instructions to adjust the solar panels to the optimal angle for sunny days.

[0318] Step 9: Update the User Interface

[0319] The server updates the user interface with the analysis results and current system status accordingly.

[0320] Examples:

[0321] The server reflects the analysis results on the user interface, allowing users to view the information in real time.

[0322] Step 10: Accept manual adjustments

[0323] Users can manually adjust system settings using the provided user interface, which allows for immediate effect of setting changes under specific conditions.

[0324] Examples:

[0325] Users operate an administration panel and manually optimize the settings for a particular base station.

[0326] Step 11: Collect sentiment data

[0327] The server collects the user's emotional data, which can be obtained from the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc.

[0328] Examples:

[0329] The server collects voice tones and facial expressions via a camera and microphone when a user operates the management panel.

[0330] Step 12: Analyze the sentiment data

[0331] The server analyzes the collected emotion data and uses an emotion engine to determine the user's stress level and satisfaction.

[0332] Examples:

[0333] The server analyzes the user's voice data and determines that the user is feeling stressed.

[0334] Step 13: Emotion-Based System Adjustment

[0335] The server automatically adjusts the system settings based on the analysis of the emotional data, instantly changing the settings to reflect the user's emotional state.

[0336] Examples:

[0337] If the server determines that the user is feeling stressed, it activates an assist function that simplifies operation of the interface.

[0338] Through the above process, the present invention efficiently manages base stations and renewable energy, and further provides an interface that takes user emotions into consideration, thereby improving energy efficiency and maximizing user experience.

[0665] The server collects operational information from the automated robots installed in the factory. This operational information includes power consumption, operating time, task type, etc. It also uses a weather data API to obtain real-time weather data, including temperature, humidity, and sunshine hours.

[0666] Data preprocessing and analysis

[0667] The server preprocesses the collected operational information and weather data, complements incomplete data, and converts data types. It then analyzes the preprocessed data and uses machine learning algorithms to make predictions to determine optimal energy consumption patterns and the timing for switching energy sources. The software used is Python and TensorFlow.

[0668] Control command generation and execution

[0669] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for the robot to change its energy consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to the robot to change its energy supply.

[0670] Renewable energy equipment management

[0671] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated and consumed by renewable energy devices (e.g., solar power generation devices, wind power generation devices) and optimizes their use to maximize power generation efficiency, thereby enabling efficient management of the robot's energy supply.

[0673] The user can monitor the system status in real time and make necessary configuration changes using the provided user interface, which displays the system analysis results and current operating status. The software used is Flask.

[0674] Specific examples

[0675] For example, you might use the following prompts to input to a generative AI model:

[0676] Prompt statement:

[0677] "Generate and send control commands to switch Robot A's power supply to solar power during sunny hours. Also provide optimal energy consumption patterns based on real-time weather data."

[0678] As described above, by building an energy management system for automated robots in factories, it is possible to optimize energy consumption and efficiently use renewable energy.

[0679] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0680] Step 1:

[0698] Input: Optimal energy consumption pattern, timing to switch energy sources

[0699] Output: Control commands to the robot

[0700] Step 6:

[0701] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated and consumed by renewable energy devices (solar power generation devices, wind power generation devices). Specifically, it periodically acquires the parameters of the power generation devices using a sensor system and sends the data to the monitoring system. The angle of the panels and turbines is automatically adjusted to maximize power generation efficiency.

[0710] Explanation of program processing

[0711] Data collection

[0712] The server collects operational information from base stations. Specifically, it obtains information such as power consumption, number of connected devices, and data traffic volume from each base station. This data is collected periodically using an API.

[0747] Examples:

[0748] If there is a gap in the power consumption data of base station A, the server will supplement it based on past data.

[0749] Step 4: Analysis

[0750] The server analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[0751] Examples:

[0752] The server inputs the data into a machine learning model to infer when to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0753] Step 5: Generate control commands

[0755] Examples:

[0756] The server generates a control command for base station A, which includes an instruction to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[0757] Step 6: Send and execute commands

[0758] The server transmits the generated control command to each base station to change the power supply.

[0759] Examples:

[0773] Step 10: Accept manual adjustments

[0774] Users can manually adjust system settings using the provided user interface, which allows for immediate effect of setting changes under specific conditions.

[0775] Examples:

[0776] Users operate an administration panel and manually optimize the settings for a particular base station.

[0777] Step 11: Collect sentiment data

[0778] The server collects the user's emotional data, which can be obtained from the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc.

[0779] Examples:

[0780] The server collects voice tones and facial expressions via a camera and microphone when a user operates the management panel.

[0781] Step 12: Analyze the sentiment data

[0782] The server analyzes the collected emotion data and uses an emotion engine to determine the user's stress level and satisfaction.

[0783] Examples:

[0784] The server analyzes the user's voice data and determines that the user is feeling stressed.

[0785] Step 13: Emotion-Based System Adjustment

[0786] The server automatically adjusts the system settings based on the analysis of the emotional data, instantly changing the settings to reflect the user's emotional state.

[0787] Examples:

[0788] If the server determines that the user is feeling stressed, it activates an assist function that simplifies operation of the interface.

[0789] Through the above process, the present invention efficiently manages base stations and renewable energy, and further provides an interface that takes user emotions into consideration, thereby improving energy efficiency and maximizing user experience.

[0942] Explanation of program processing

[0943] Data collection

[0944] The server collects base station operation information (power consumption, number of connected devices, data traffic volume, etc.). This includes periodic data transmission from each base station and data acquisition via API. The server also uses weather data API to acquire real-time weather information (temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine hours, etc.).

[0945] Examples:

[0946] The server receives information on power consumption and the number of connected devices from base station A, and also obtains the current weather conditions through a weather data API.

[0947] Data preprocessing and analysis

[0948] The server preprocesses the collected data, fills in incomplete data, and converts data types. It then analyzes the preprocessed data to determine optimal power consumption patterns and the timing for switching energy sources. Machine learning algorithms are used for the analysis, and predictions are made based on historical data and current conditions.

[0949] Examples:

[0950] The server fills in missing data from base station A and weather data, normalizes the data, and then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze optimal power consumption patterns and determine when to switch between solar power generation and the power grid.

[0951] Control command generation and execution

[0952] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for each base station to change its power consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to each base station to change its power supply.

[0953] Examples:

[0954] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a control command to switch power supply to solar power generation for base station A and sends it to base station A. Base station A receives this control command and switches the power supply source.

[0955] Renewable Energy Management

[0956] The server constantly monitors the power output of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines) and the power consumption of base stations. To ensure efficient power generation and consumption, it optimizes the use of renewable energy to maximize power generation efficiency.

[0974] Examples:

[0975] If the power consumption data of base station A is missing, the server complements it based on past data.

[0976] Step 4: Analysis

[0977] The server then analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[1161] Explanation of program processing

[1162] Data collection

[1163] The server collects operational information from base stations. Specifically, it obtains information such as power consumption, number of connected devices, and data traffic volume from each base station. This data is collected periodically using an API. The server also uses a weather data API to obtain real-time weather information (temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine hours, etc.).

[1164] Examples:

[1165] The server receives information on power consumption and the number of connected devices from base station A, and also obtains the current weather conditions through a weather data API.

[1166] Data preprocessing and analysis

[1167] The server preprocesses the collected data, complements incomplete data, and converts and normalizes data types as needed. The preprocessed data is then analyzed to determine optimal power consumption patterns and the timing of switching energy sources. Machine learning algorithms are used in the analysis to make predictions based on historical data and current conditions.

[1168] Examples:

[1169] The server fills in missing data from base station A and weather data, normalizes the data, and then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze optimal power consumption patterns and determine when to switch between solar power generation and the power grid.

[1170] Control command generation and execution

[1171] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for each base station to change its power consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to each base station to change its power supply.

[1172] Examples:

[1173] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a control command including an instruction for base station A to switch from solar power generation to the power grid, and sends it to base station A. Base station A receives this control command and switches the power supply source.

[1174] Renewable Energy Management

[1175] The server constantly monitors the power output of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines) and the power consumption of base stations. To ensure efficient power generation and consumption, it optimizes the use of renewable energy to maximize power generation efficiency.

[1176] Examples:

[1177] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated by the solar panels and the power consumption of base station A, and adjusts the angle of the panels to maximize power generation efficiency.

[1178] Providing a user interface

[1179] The user can monitor the system status in real time and make necessary configuration changes using the provided user interface, which displays the analysis results and current operating status of the system.

[1180] Examples:

[1181] Users can check the power consumption and power generation status of base station A through the management panel, and if they want to manually fine-tune the settings, they can do so on the interface.

[1182] Combining Emotion Engines

[1183] The server is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., and automatically adjusts the system settings and interface based on the analysis results.

[1184] Examples:

[1185] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the voice tone and facial expressions of the user when operating the interface, and if it determines that the user is under high stress, it activates an assist function to make operating the interface easier.

[1186] This allows the system to maximize energy efficiency while providing a user-friendly operating environment.

[1187] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1198] Examples:

[1199] If there is a gap in the power consumption data of base station A, the server will supplement it based on past data.

[1200] Step 4: Analysis

[1201] The server analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[1202] Examples:

[1203] The server inputs the data into a machine learning model to infer when to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[1204] Step 5: Generate control commands

[1205] The server generates a power consumption pattern and a control command for switching the energy source for each base station based on the analysis result.

[1206] Examples:

[1207] The server generates a control command for base station A, which includes an instruction to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[1208] Step 6: Send and execute commands

[1209] The server transmits the generated control command to each base station to change the power supply.

[1210] Examples:

[1211] The server sends a control command to base station A, and base station A switches the power supply source from solar power generation to the power grid based on this command.

[1212] Step 7: Renewable energy monitoring

[1213] The server constantly monitors the power generation and consumption of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines).

[1218] Examples:

[1219] The server provides instructions to adjust the solar panels to the optimal angle for sunny days.

[1220] Step 9: Update the User Interface

[1221] The server updates the user interface with the analysis results and current system status accordingly.

[1222] Examples:

[1223] The server reflects the analysis results on the user interface, allowing users to view the information in real time.

[1224] Step 10: Accept manual adjustments

[1225] Users can manually adjust system settings using the provided user interface, which allows for immediate effect of setting changes under specific conditions.

[1226] Examples:

[1227] Users operate an administration panel and manually optimize the settings for a particular base station.

[1228] Step 11: Collect sentiment data

[1229] The server collects the user's emotional data, which can be obtained from the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc.

[1230] Examples:

[1231] The server collects voice tones and facial expressions via a camera and microphone when a user operates the management panel.

[1232] Step 12: Analyze the sentiment data

[1233] The server analyzes the collected emotion data and uses an emotion engine to determine the user's stress level and satisfaction.

[1234] Examples:

[1235] The server analyzes the user's voice data and determines that the user is feeling stressed.

[1236] Step 13: Emotion-Based System Adjustment

[1237] The server automatically adjusts the system settings based on the analysis of the emotional data, instantly changing the settings to reflect the user's emotional state.

[1238] Examples:

[1239] If the server determines that the user is feeling stressed, it activates an assist function that simplifies operation of the interface.

[1240] Through the above process, the present invention efficiently manages base stations and renewable energy, and further provides an interface that takes user emotions into consideration, thereby improving energy efficiency and maximizing user experience.

[1394] Explanation of program processing

[1395] Data collection

[1396] The server collects base station operation information (power consumption, number of connected devices, data traffic volume, etc.). This includes periodic data transmission from each base station and data acquisition via API. The server also uses weather data API to acquire real-time weather information (temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine hours, etc.).

[1397] Examples:

[1398] The server receives information on power consumption and the number of connected devices from base station A, and also obtains the current weather conditions through a weather data API.

[1399] Data preprocessing and analysis

[1400] The server preprocesses the collected data, fills in incomplete data, and converts data types. It then analyzes the preprocessed data to determine optimal power consumption patterns and the timing for switching energy sources. Machine learning algorithms are used for the analysis, and predictions are made based on historical data and current conditions.

[1401] Examples:

[1402] The server fills in missing data from base station A and weather data, normalizes the data, and then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze optimal power consumption patterns and determine when to switch between solar power generation and the power grid.

[1403] Control command generation and execution

[1404] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for each base station to change its power consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to each base station to change its power supply.

[1405] Examples:

[1406] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a control command to switch power supply to solar power generation for base station A and sends it to base station A. Base station A receives this control command and switches the power supply source.

[1407] Renewable Energy Management

[1408] The server constantly monitors the power output of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines) and the power consumption of base stations. To ensure efficient power generation and consumption, it optimizes the use of renewable energy to maximize power generation efficiency.

[1426] Examples:

[1427] If the power consumption data of base station A is missing, the server complements it based on past data.

[1428] Step 4: Analysis

[1429] The server then analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[1436] Step 6: Send and execute commands

[1437] The server transmits the generated control commands to each base station, which then executes the power supply changes accordingly.

[1438] Examples:

[1439] The server sends a control command to base station A, and based on this command, base station A switches its power source from solar power generation to the power grid.

[1440] Step 7: Renewable energy monitoring

Furthermore, the system status is displayed through a user interface, allowing for manual adjustment of settings. An emotion engine that recognizes user emotions has also been added to improve the user experience.

[1613] Explanation of program processing

[1614] Data collection

[1615] The server collects operational information from base stations. Specifically, it obtains information such as power consumption, number of connected devices, and data traffic volume from each base station. This data is collected periodically using an API. The server also uses a weather data API to obtain real-time weather information (temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, sunshine hours, etc.).

[1616] Examples:

[1617] The server receives information on power consumption and the number of connected devices from base station A, and also obtains the current weather conditions through a weather data API.

[1618] Data preprocessing and analysis

[1619] The server preprocesses the collected data, complements incomplete data, and converts and normalizes data types as needed. The preprocessed data is then analyzed to determine optimal power consumption patterns and the timing of switching energy sources. Machine learning algorithms are used in the analysis to make predictions based on historical data and current conditions.

[1620] Examples:

[1621] The server fills in missing data from base station A and weather data, normalizes the data, and then uses machine learning algorithms to analyze optimal power consumption patterns and determine when to switch between solar power generation and the power grid.

[1622] Control command generation and execution

[1623] Based on the analysis results, the server generates control commands for each base station to change its power consumption pattern and energy source, and sends these control commands to each base station to change its power supply.

[1624] Examples:

[1625] Based on the analysis results, the server generates a control command including an instruction for base station A to switch from solar power generation to the power grid, and sends it to base station A. Base station A receives this control command and switches the power supply source.

[1626] Renewable Energy Management

[1627] The server constantly monitors the power output of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines) and the power consumption of base stations. To ensure efficient power generation and consumption, it optimizes the use of renewable energy to maximize power generation efficiency.

[1628] Examples:

[1629] The server constantly monitors the amount of power generated by the solar panels and the power consumption of base station A, and adjusts the angle of the panels to maximize power generation efficiency.

[1630] Providing a user interface

[1631] The user can monitor the system status in real time and make necessary configuration changes using the provided user interface, which displays the analysis results and current operating status of the system.

[1632] Examples:

[1633] Users can check the power consumption and power generation status of base station A through the management panel, and if they want to manually fine-tune the settings, they can do so on the interface.

[1634] Combining Emotion Engines

[1635] The server is equipped with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions by analyzing the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc., and automatically adjusts the system settings and interface based on the analysis results.

[1636] Examples:

[1637] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the voice tone and facial expressions of the user when operating the interface, and if it determines that the user is under high stress, it activates an assist function to make operating the interface easier.

[1638] This allows the system to maximize energy efficiency while providing a user-friendly operating environment.

[1639] The processing flow will be explained below.

[1640] Step 1: Data collection

[1641] The server collects operational information from base stations. Specifically, it obtains information from each base station, such as power consumption, number of connected devices, and data traffic volume. This data is collected periodically using an API.

[1642] Examples:

[1643] The server obtains the power consumption and number of connected terminals of base station A through an API request.

[1644] Step 2: Obtaining weather data

[1645] The server obtains weather data in real time via an API, specifically information such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and sunshine hours.

[1646] Examples:

[1647] The server uses the weather data API to obtain weather data around base station A.

[1648] Step 3: Preprocessing the data

[1649] The server preprocesses the collected operational information and weather data, complementing incomplete data and converting data types as necessary to normalize it.

[1650] Examples:

[1651] If there is a gap in the power consumption data of base station A, the server will supplement it based on past data.

[1652] Step 4: Analysis

[1653] The server analyzes the preprocessed data using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it determines the optimal power consumption pattern and timing for switching energy sources based on the collected data.

[1654] Examples:

[1655] The server inputs the data into a machine learning model to infer when to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[1656] Step 5: Generate control commands

[1657] The server generates a power consumption pattern and a control command for switching the energy source for each base station based on the analysis result.

[1658] Examples:

[1659] The server generates a control command for base station A, which includes an instruction to switch from solar power generation to the power grid.

[1660] Step 6: Send and execute commands

[1661] The server transmits the generated control command to each base station to change the power supply.

[1662] Examples:

[1663] The server sends a control command to base station A, and base station A switches the power supply source from solar power generation to the power grid based on this command.

[1664] Step 7: Renewable energy monitoring

[1665] The server constantly monitors the power generation and consumption of renewable energy devices (solar panels and wind turbines).

[1666] Examples:

[1667] The server periodically retrieves power generation data from the solar panels and compares it with consumption patterns.

[1668] Step 8: Optimize energy use

[1669] The server optimizes the settings to maximize the efficiency of renewable energy use, adjusting the angle of the panels and changing the proportion of wind power used based on weather and power generation data.

[1670] Examples:

[1671] The server provides instructions to adjust the solar panels to the optimal angle for sunny days.

[1672] Step 9: Update the User Interface

[1673] The server updates the user interface with the analysis results and current system status accordingly.

[1674] Examples:

[1675] The server reflects the analysis results on the user interface, allowing users to view the information in real time.

[1676] Step 10: Accept manual adjustments

[1677] Users can manually adjust system settings using the provided user interface, which allows for immediate effect of setting changes under specific conditions.

[1678] Examples:

[1679] Users operate an administration panel and manually optimize the settings for a particular base station.

[1680] Step 11: Collect sentiment data

[1681] The server collects the user's emotional data, which can be obtained from the user's voice, facial expressions, text input, etc.

[1682] Examples:

[1683] The server collects voice tones and facial expressions via a camera and microphone when a user operates the management panel.

[1684] Step 12: Analyze the sentiment data

[1685] The server analyzes the collected emotion data and uses an emotion engine to determine the user's stress level and satisfaction.

[1686] Examples:

[1687] The server analyzes the user's voice data and determines that the user is feeling stressed.

[1688] Step 13: Emotion-Based System Adjustment

[1689] The server automatically adjusts the system settings based on the analysis of the emotional data, instantly changing the settings to reflect the user's emotional state.

[1690] Examples:

[1691] If the server determines that the user is feeling stressed, it activates an assist function that simplifies operation of the interface.

[1692] Through the above process, the present invention efficiently manages base stations and renewable energy, and further provides an interface that takes user emotions into consideration, thereby improving energy efficiency and maximizing user experience.

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.

[1832] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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 actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect 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.

[1833] 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.

[1834] 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).

[1835] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[1836] 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."

[1837] 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.
