[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.

[0025] 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.

Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The aquarium management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that performs fixed-point observations of tropical fish in an aquarium, records the body color and other characteristics of the tropical fish while identifying each individual fish, and reports on their growth status and signs of illness. This allows the aquarium management system to efficiently monitor the growth status and signs of illness of the tropical fish and prompt appropriate measures to be taken.

[0029] An aquarium management system according to an embodiment includes a fixed-point observation unit, an individual identification unit, a recording unit, and a reporting unit. The fixed-point observation unit observes tropical fish in an aquarium. For example, the fixed-point observation unit observes the tropical fish using a camera installed in the aquarium. The fixed-point observation unit can set an observation frequency and periodically acquire images of the tropical fish. The fixed-point observation unit can fix an observation position and observe the tropical fish from the same position. The individual identification unit identifies the tropical fish observed by the fixed-point observation unit. For example, the individual identification unit analyzes characteristics of the tropical fish, such as body color, pattern, and size, and identifies each individual fish. The individual identification unit can identify the observed tropical fish with high accuracy using an identification algorithm. The individual identification unit can store information about the identified tropical fish in a database. The recording unit records information about the tropical fish identified by the individual identification unit. For example, the recording unit records changes in the tropical fish's body color, weight gain / loss, and changes in behavioral patterns. The recording unit can also set the type of information to be recorded and select and record necessary information. The recording unit can also set the recording frequency and periodically record information about the tropical fish. The reporting unit reports the growth status and signs of illness based on the information recorded by the recording unit. For example, the reporting unit analyzes the recorded information and reports the growth status and signs of illness. The reporting unit can also issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. The reporting unit can also set the report format and select and report necessary information. As a result, the aquarium management system according to the embodiment can efficiently monitor the growth status and signs of illness of the tropical fish and prompt appropriate action.

[0030] The fixed-point observation unit can use the generation AI to analyze the movements and behavior patterns of tropical fish and estimate their stress levels and health status. For example, the fixed-point observation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the movements and behavior patterns of tropical fish and estimate their stress levels. For example, it analyzes the frequency and speed of specific movements and issues an alert if stress levels are high. The fixed-point observation unit also monitors the behavior patterns of tropical fish over long periods of time and analyzes them with the generation AI to estimate their health status. For example, if an abnormal behavior pattern is observed, it suggests the possibility of a health abnormality. The fixed-point observation unit also uses the generation AI to analyze the movements and behavior patterns of tropical fish in real time and estimate their stress levels and health status. For example, if a specific behavior is observed frequently, it is determined that stress levels are high. This allows the stress levels and health status of tropical fish to be estimated in real time.

[0031] The fixed-point observation unit uses a high-resolution camera to capture subtle changes in the body color and pattern of tropical fish, which are then analyzed using generative AI, allowing for early detection of health abnormalities. For example, the fixed-point observation unit uses a high-resolution camera to capture subtle changes in the body color and pattern of tropical fish, which are then analyzed using generative AI. For example, if a change in body color is observed, it will suggest the possibility of a health abnormality. The fixed-point observation unit also uses generative AI to analyze changes in the body color and pattern of tropical fish in real time, allowing for early detection of health abnormalities. For example, if the body color becomes paler, it will suggest the possibility of nutritional deficiency. The fixed-point observation unit also analyzes images taken with the high-resolution camera using generative AI to detect subtle changes in the body color and pattern of tropical fish. For example, if a change in pattern is observed, it will suggest signs of illness. This allows for early detection of health abnormalities in tropical fish.

[0032] The fixed-point observation unit simultaneously observes other organisms in the aquarium (e.g., shrimp and shellfish) and analyzes their interactions, thereby assessing the health of the entire ecosystem. The fixed-point observation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to simultaneously observe other organisms in the aquarium, such as shrimp and shellfish, and analyzes their interactions. For example, if the shrimp are moving actively, it determines that the overall health of the aquarium is good. The fixed-point observation unit also analyzes the behavioral patterns of other organisms in the aquarium to assess the health of the entire ecosystem. For example, if the shellfish are behaving abnormally, it suggests that there may be a problem with the environment in the aquarium. The fixed-point observation unit also uses a generation AI to analyze the movements and behavioral patterns of other organisms in the aquarium to assess the health of the entire ecosystem. For example, if the shrimp and shellfish are behaving normally, it determines that the environment of the entire aquarium is appropriate. This makes it possible to assess the health of the entire ecosystem in the aquarium.

[0033] The fixed-point observation unit simultaneously monitors the external environment of the aquarium (for example, room temperature and humidity) and analyzes it with the generating AI, thereby enabling more accurate optimization of the breeding environment. The fixed-point observation unit, for example, monitors the external environment of the aquarium (for example, room temperature and humidity) and analyzes it with the generating AI. For example, if the room temperature is high, it adjusts the water temperature in the aquarium. The fixed-point observation unit also uses the generating AI to analyze the external environmental data of the aquarium and optimize the breeding environment. For example, if the humidity is low, it suggests measures to prevent water evaporation from the aquarium. The fixed-point observation unit also monitors the room temperature and humidity in real time and analyzes it with the generating AI to optimize the breeding environment. For example, if the room temperature is low, it adjusts the aquarium heater. This makes it possible to accurately optimize the breeding environment while also taking the external environment of the aquarium into consideration.

[0034] The recording unit can use the generation AI to perform a detailed analysis of the growth rate and weight changes of the tropical fish and identify the optimal growth conditions. For example, the recording unit can use the generation AI to perform a detailed analysis of the growth rate of the tropical fish and identify the optimal growth conditions. For example, if the growth rate is slow, the type and amount of food can be adjusted. The recording unit can also use the generation AI to analyze changes in the weight of the tropical fish and identify the optimal growth conditions. For example, if the weight is decreasing, it can suggest the possibility of nutritional deficiency and increase the amount of food. The recording unit can also use the generation AI to analyze the growth rate and weight changes of the tropical fish in real time and identify the optimal growth conditions. For example, if the growth rate is fast, it can determine that the current breeding environment is appropriate. This allows for a detailed analysis of the growth rate and weight changes of the tropical fish and identify the optimal growth conditions.

[0035] The recording unit monitors the behavioral patterns of tropical fish over a long period of time and analyzes them with a generating AI, making it possible to detect early signs of illness. The recording unit, for example, uses a generating AI to monitor the behavioral patterns of tropical fish over a long period of time and detects early signs of illness. For example, if abnormal behavior is observed, it suggests the possibility of illness. The recording unit also analyzes the behavioral patterns of tropical fish in detail and detects early signs of illness. For example, if a specific behavior is observed frequently, it suggests signs of illness. The recording unit also uses a generating AI to analyze the behavioral patterns of tropical fish in real time and detect early signs of illness. For example, if there is a sudden change in behavior, it suggests the possibility of illness. This makes it possible to detect early signs of illness in tropical fish.

[0036] The recording unit can identify general growth patterns and signs of illness by comparing it with data from other keepers and analyzing it with the generating AI. For example, the recording unit collects data from other keepers and analyzes it with the generating AI to identify general growth patterns. For example, it determines that a particular growth rate is common. The recording unit can also compare it with data from other keepers and analyze it with the generating AI to identify general signs of illness. For example, it can determine that a particular behavioral pattern is a sign of illness. The recording unit can also use the generating AI to analyze data from other keepers and identify general growth patterns and signs of illness. For example, it can determine that a particular change in body color is a common growth pattern. This makes it possible to identify general growth patterns and signs of illness by comparing it with data from other keepers.

[0037] The recording unit can convert the growth status and signs of disease of the tropical fish into visual notes or mind maps to make them easier to understand visually. The recording unit, for example, uses a generation AI to convert the growth status and signs of disease of the tropical fish into visual notes. For example, it displays growth rate and changes in body color in graphs or diagrams. The recording unit also converts the growth status and signs of disease of the tropical fish into mind maps to make them easier to understand visually. For example, it displays growth patterns and signs of disease in association with each other. The recording unit also uses a generation AI to convert the growth status and signs of disease of the tropical fish into visual notes or mind maps to display them visually. For example, it displays growth status in chronological order and highlights signs of disease. This makes it easier to understand the growth status and signs of disease of the tropical fish visually.

[0038] The report unit can use the generation AI to suggest the optimal type and amount of food based on the growth status of the tropical fish. For example, the report unit uses the generation AI to analyze the growth status of the tropical fish and suggest the optimal type of food. For example, it selects food with a good nutritional balance based on growth rate and changes in weight. The report unit also analyzes the growth status of the tropical fish in detail and suggests the optimal amount of food using the generation AI. For example, if the weight is increasing, it suggests reducing the amount of food. The report unit also uses the generation AI to analyze the growth status of the tropical fish in real time and suggest the optimal type and amount of food. For example, if the growth rate is slow, it suggests food with high nutritional value. This makes it possible to suggest the optimal type and amount of food based on the growth status of the tropical fish.

[0039] The report unit can analyze water quality data in detail and use generation AI to propose optimal water quality management methods. The report unit, for example, uses generation AI to analyze water quality data in detail and propose optimal water quality management methods. For example, it proposes methods for adjusting water quality based on water temperature, pH, and oxygen concentration. The report unit also monitors water quality data in real time and analyzes it with generation AI to propose optimal water quality management methods. For example, if water quality deteriorates, it will suggest the timing for water changes. The report unit also uses generation AI to analyze water quality data and propose optimal water quality management methods. For example, if a specific water quality parameter shows an abnormal value, it will suggest appropriate measures. This makes it possible to analyze water quality data in detail and propose optimal water quality management methods.

[0040] The report unit can propose the optimal breeding method by collecting success stories of other breeders and analyzing them with the generation AI. The report unit, for example, collects success stories of other breeders and analyzes them with the generation AI to propose the optimal breeding method. For example, it can propose the type and amount of food based on the success stories.

For example, it can propose methods of aquarium layout and lighting adjustment based on the success stories. In this way, it can propose the optimal breeding method based on the success stories of other breeders.

[0041] The report unit compares the growth status of tropical fish with different seasons and climatic conditions and analyzes it using the generation AI, thereby being able to propose the optimal breeding method for each season. For example, the report unit uses the generation AI to compare the growth status of tropical fish with different seasons and climatic conditions and propose the optimal breeding method. For example, it may propose setting the water temperature higher in winter. The report unit also analyzes the growth status of tropical fish in detail and uses the generation AI to propose the optimal breeding method for each season. For example, it may propose setting the water temperature lower in summer. The report unit also uses the generation AI to compare the growth status of tropical fish with different seasons and climatic conditions and propose the optimal breeding method. For example, it may propose strengthening water quality management in spring. This makes it possible to propose the optimal breeding method for each season.

[0042] The report unit uses generative AI to analyze images of tropical fish in detail and detect signs of illness early. The report unit, for example, uses generative AI to analyze images of tropical fish in detail and detect signs of illness early. For example, it detects changes in body color and damage to fins.

For example, aquarists can upload photos and videos of their aquariums and exchange opinions with other aquarists. Aquarists can also share advice and obtain information for solving problems. Furthermore, online events can be held regularly to promote interaction between aquarists. This allows aquarists to enjoy managing their aquariums without feeling isolated.

[0097] The aquarium management system can further include an eco-mode unit. The eco-mode unit provides functions to minimize the energy consumption of the aquarium. For example, it automatically adjusts the use of lights and heaters at night or when the keeper is away to reduce energy consumption. The eco-mode unit can also suggest optimal energy usage methods based on data on water quality and temperature. This allows the keeper to manage the aquarium while being considerate of the environment.

[0098] The fixed-point observation unit can use the emotion estimation function to estimate the keeper's emotions from the behavior of the tropical fish and provide advice to reduce the keeper's stress. For example, if the tropical fish are moving actively, it can determine that the keeper is relaxed and provide advice to maintain that state. Also, if the tropical fish are feeling stressed, it can determine that the keeper may also be feeling stressed and suggest ways to help the keeper relax. This makes it possible to provide advice to reduce the keeper's stress.

[0099] The recording unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the relationship between the keeper's emotions and the health of the tropical fish, and can evaluate the impact of the keeper's emotions on the health of the tropical fish. For example, if the keeper is feeling stressed, it can determine that the health of the tropical fish is likely to deteriorate. On the other hand, if the keeper is relaxed, it can determine that the health of the tropical fish is good. This makes it possible to evaluate the impact of the keeper's emotions on the health of the tropical fish.

[0100] The report unit can use the emotion estimation function to provide care advice to reduce stress based on the keeper's emotions. For example, if the keeper is feeling stressed, the report unit can suggest a care method that will help the keeper relax. It can also suggest changing the layout of the aquarium so that the keeper can relax. This makes it possible to provide care advice to reduce stress based on the keeper's emotions.

[0101] The report unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions felt by the keeper when receiving advice, and can suggest advice formats that will elicit positive emotions. For example, it can identify advice formats that evoke strong positive emotions and prioritize those with high emotion scores. It can also suggest wording and expressions that will elicit positive emotions. This makes it possible to suggest advice formats that will elicit positive emotions when the keeper receives advice.

[0102] The report unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions felt by the caregiver when receiving a prescription proposal, and can propose a prescription proposal format that will elicit positive emotions. For example, it can identify prescription proposal formats that evoke strong positive emotions and prioritize prescription proposal formats with high emotion scores. It also suggests wording and expressions that will elicit positive emotions. This makes it possible to propose a prescription proposal format that will elicit positive emotions when the caregiver receives a prescription proposal.

[0103] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0104] Step 1: The fixed-point observation unit observes the tropical fish in the aquarium. For example, the fixed-point observation unit observes the tropical fish using a camera installed in the aquarium, sets the observation frequency, and periodically acquires images of the tropical fish. It is also possible to fix the observation position and observe the tropical fish from the same position. Step 2: The individual identification unit identifies the tropical fish observed by the fixed-point observation unit. For example, the individual identification unit analyzes characteristics such as the body color, pattern, and size of the tropical fish to identify each individual. In addition, the unit can use a classification algorithm to identify the observed tropical fish with high accuracy and store information about the identified tropical fish in a database. Step 3: The recording unit records information about the tropical fish identified by the individual identification unit. For example, the recording unit records changes in the tropical fish's body color, weight gain or loss, changes in behavioral patterns, etc. The type of information to be recorded can be set, necessary information can be selected and recorded, and the recording frequency can be set to record information about the tropical fish periodically. Step 4: The reporting unit reports on growth status and signs of illness based on the information recorded by the recording unit. For example, the reporting unit analyzes the recorded information and reports on growth status and signs of illness. It can also issue alerts if abnormalities are detected, set the report format, and select the necessary information to report.

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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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).

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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."

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
