Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A harassment detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes the functions of a wearable device, smartphone, or camera (video and audio recording) to objectively determine whether a person is experiencing harassment. The harassment detection system collects biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and breathing patterns, and uses AI to analyze the data and identify differences from normal behavior. Furthermore, AI analyzes the camera's video and audio data to detect signs of harassment. This allows for the determination of possible harassment, even when the individual is unaware of it. Finally, it sends a warning alert to the victim and the harasser, leading to the prevention of serious harassment and harm. For example, a harassment detection system uses a wearable device or smartphone worn by the user on a daily basis to collect biometric data such as heart rate, body temperature, and breathing patterns in real time. Next, AI analyzes the collected data and detects signs of stress and tension by analyzing fluctuations in heart rate and body temperature. Furthermore, AI analyzes the camera's video and audio data to detect offensive words and tones through audio analysis, and intimidating attitudes and behaviors through video analysis. This allows for a clear understanding of the specific circumstances of harassment. Finally, if AI detects signs of harassment, it will send a real-time alert to the victim and perpetrator. This can lead to the prevention of serious harassment and perpetrators. As a result, the harassment detection system enables early detection and prevention of harassment, protecting the mental and physical health of victims. In addition, by issuing a warning to perpetrators, it is expected to have a deterrent effect on harassment. For example, it can prevent harassment from occurring in environments such as the workplace or school.
[0029] A harassment detection system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a detection unit, and a notification unit. The collection unit collects biometric data. Examples of biometric data include, but are not limited to, heart rate, body temperature, and breathing patterns.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can generate the content of the warning using AI and notify the perpetrator.
[0036] The collection unit can analyze the user's past biometric data and select an appropriate collection method. The collection unit can analyze the user's past biometric data using, for example, AI. For example, the collection unit can analyze past heart rate data and increase the collection frequency if an abnormal fluctuation is detected. The collection unit can also shorten the collection interval if an abnormal increase is detected based on past body temperature data. Furthermore, the collection unit can analyze past breathing patterns and collect data in real time if an abnormal pattern is detected. This allows the optimal collection method to be selected by analyzing past data. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input past biometric data into AI and have the AI select the collection method.
[0037] When collecting biometric data, the collection unit can filter the biometric data based on the user's current activity status and environment. The collection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the user's current activity status and environment. For example, the collection unit analyzes the user's activity status using a pedometer or GPS data. The collection unit can also collect environmental data using a temperature sensor or humidity sensor. For example, the collection unit measures environmental temperature using a temperature sensor. The collection unit filters the biometric data based on the user's activity status and environmental data. For example, when the user is exercising, the collection unit filters heart rate data to remove abnormal values. When the user is taking a break, the collection unit can filter body temperature data to use normal values as a reference. Furthermore, when the user is in a meeting, the collection unit can filter breathing pattern data to detect tension. This allows for more accurate data collection by filtering data based on the activity status and environment. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit may input activity status and environmental data into AI and have the AI perform data filtering.
[0038] When collecting biometric data, the collection unit can select an appropriate collection means depending on the user's input method. The collection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the user's input method. For example, the collection unit analyzes methods such as voice input, text input, and image input. The collection unit selects an appropriate collection means depending on the user's input method. For example, if the user uses voice input, the collection unit analyzes the voice data to evaluate the stress level. Also, if the user uses text input, the collection unit can analyze the input speed and content to evaluate the tension level. Furthermore, if the user uses image input, the collection unit can perform facial expression analysis to evaluate the emotional state. This enables efficient data collection by selecting the optimal collection means depending on the input method. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's input data into AI and have the AI select the collection means.
[0039] When collecting biometric data, the collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant data by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The collection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the user's geographical location information. For example, the collection unit acquires the user's location information using GPS data or an IP address. The collection unit collects biometric data based on the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is at work, the collection unit prioritizes collecting heart rate and breathing pattern data. Also, when the user is at home, the collection unit can prioritize collecting body temperature and heart rate data. Furthermore, when the user is in a public place, the collection unit can prioritize collecting breathing pattern and body temperature data. In this way, by taking the geographical location information into account, highly relevant data can be collected preferentially. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit may input the user's location information into AI and have the AI collect data.
[0040] The collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect related data when collecting biometric data. The collection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the user's social media activity. For example, the collection unit analyzes the user's post content, the number of likes, the number of followers, etc. The collection unit collects biometric data based on the user's social media activity. For example, if the user posts on social media that they are feeling stressed, the collection unit can collect heart rate and breathing pattern data. Also, if the user posts that they are relaxed, the collection unit can collect body temperature and heart rate data. Furthermore, if the user posts that they are feeling nervous, the collection unit can collect breathing pattern and body temperature data. In this way, related data can be collected by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's social media data into AI and have the AI collect the data.
[0041] When collecting biometric data, the collection unit can customize the collection method by reflecting the user's past feedback. The collection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the user's past feedback. For example, the collection unit analyzes questionnaire surveys and user reviews. The collection unit customizes the biometric data collection method based on the user's past feedback. For example, if the user previously requested collection of heart rate data, the collection unit can prioritize collecting heart rate data. Also, if the user previously requested collection of body temperature data, the collection unit can also prioritize collecting body temperature data. Furthermore, if the user previously requested collection of breathing pattern data, the collection unit can also prioritize collecting breathing pattern data. In this way, the collection method can be customized by reflecting past feedback. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's feedback data into AI and have the AI customize the collection method.
[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the biometric data. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to evaluate the importance of the biometric data. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the degree of abnormality or urgency of heart rate data. The analysis unit adjusts the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance. For example, if heart rate data is important, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis. Also, if body temperature data is important, the analysis unit can also perform a detailed analysis. Furthermore, if breathing pattern data is important, the analysis unit can also perform a detailed analysis. In this way, adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance enables efficient analysis. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input biometric data to AI and have the AI adjust the level of detail of the analysis.
[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of biometric data. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to classify the categories of biometric data. For example, the analysis unit classifies categories such as heart rate data, body temperature data, and breathing pattern data. The analysis unit applies different analysis algorithms depending on the category. For example, a heart rate variability analysis algorithm can be applied to heart rate data. A body temperature variability analysis algorithm can also be applied to body temperature data. Furthermore, a respiratory variability analysis algorithm can also be applied to breathing pattern data. In this way, highly accurate analysis is possible by applying an analysis algorithm depending on the category. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the biometric data into AI and have the AI apply the analysis algorithm.
[0044] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit can improve the current analysis accuracy by referring to past heart rate analysis results. The current analysis accuracy can also be improved by referring to past body temperature analysis results. Furthermore, the current analysis accuracy can also be improved by referring to past breathing pattern analysis results. In this way, by referring to past analysis results, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input past analysis results into AI and have the AI improve the accuracy of the analysis.
[0045] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the time when the biometric data was collected. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the time when the biometric data was collected. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the timestamp and collection frequency of the data. The analysis unit determines the priority of analysis based on the time of collection. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of recently collected heart rate data. It can also prioritize analysis of recently collected body temperature data. It can also prioritize analysis of recently collected breathing pattern data. In this way, by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of collection, it is possible to prioritize analysis of the most recent data. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the biometric data into AI and have the AI determine the priority of analysis.
[0046] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the biometric data. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to evaluate the relevance of the biometric data. For example, the analysis unit calculates a correlation coefficient between heart rate data and breathing pattern data. The analysis unit adjusts the order of analysis based on the relevance. For example, if heart rate data and breathing pattern data are correlated, the analysis unit analyzes them simultaneously. Also, if body temperature data and heart rate data are correlated, the analysis unit can analyze them simultaneously. Furthermore, if breathing pattern data and body temperature data are correlated, the analysis unit can analyze them simultaneously. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input biometric data to AI and have the AI adjust the order of analysis.
[0047] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. The analysis unit, for example, uses AI to evaluate the user's level of expertise. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's occupation and past learning history. The analysis unit adjusts the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the level of expertise. For example, if the user has technical expertise, the analysis unit uses detailed technical terms. Alternatively, if the user does not have technical expertise, the analysis unit can explain the analysis results in simple terms. Furthermore, the analysis unit can select appropriate technical terms according to the user's level of expertise. In this way, by adjusting the use of technical terms according to the level of expertise, analysis results that are easy for the user to understand can be provided. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's technical expertise data into AI and have the AI execute the use of technical terms.
[0048] The detection unit can improve detection accuracy by taking into account the interrelationships of biometric data during detection. The detection unit, for example, uses AI to evaluate the interrelationships of biometric data. For example, the detection unit performs correlation analysis between heart rate data and breathing pattern data. The detection unit improves detection accuracy by taking into account the interrelationships of biometric data. For example, heart rate and breathing pattern data can be combined to improve detection accuracy. Body temperature and heart rate data can also be combined to improve detection accuracy. Furthermore, breathing pattern and body temperature data can be combined to improve detection accuracy. In this way, by taking the interrelationships into account, detection accuracy can be improved. Some or all of the above-described processing in the detection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the detection unit can input biometric data into AI and have the AI evaluate the interrelationships.
[0049] The detection unit can perform detection while taking into account attribute information of the biometric data submitter. The detection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the attribute information of the biometric data submitter. For example, the detection unit analyzes attribute information such as age, gender, and occupation. The detection unit performs detection while taking into account the attribute information of the submitter. For example, if the submitter is young, the detection unit strictly detects heart rate fluctuations. Also, if the submitter is elderly, the detection unit can also detect body temperature fluctuations more gradually. Furthermore, if the submitter has a specific health condition, detection can be performed according to that condition. This enables individually appropriate detection by taking attribute information into account.

[0118] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the length of the analysis based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can display a short, concise analysis result. If the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can also display a detailed analysis result. Furthermore, if the user is tense, the analysis unit can also display a concise analysis result. In this way, by adjusting the length of the analysis based on emotions, it is possible to provide an analysis result of an appropriate length for the user.
[0119] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0120] Step 1: The collection unit collects biometric data. Biometric data includes heart rate, body temperature, breathing patterns, etc. The collection unit collects this data in real time using a wearable device or smartphone. It can also collect video and audio data using a camera. For example, the collection unit obtains heart rate data from a smartwatch worn by the user, body temperature data using a smartphone sensor, and video and audio data using a camera. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the biometric data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze patterns of heart rate and body temperature fluctuations and recognize differences from normal. For example, it inputs heart rate data to detect signs of stress or tension, analyzes body temperature data to detect abnormal increases, and analyzes breathing pattern data to detect abnormal fluctuations. Step 3: The detection unit detects signs of harassment based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The detection unit uses audio analysis to detect offensive words and tones, and video analysis to detect intimidating attitudes and behaviors. For example, AI can be used to analyze audio recordings to detect offensive words, and video recordings to detect intimidating attitudes. Step 4: The notification unit issues a warning based on the results detected by the detection unit. The notification unit displays a warning to the victim saying "Possible harassment" and notifies the perpetrator that "Harassment has been detected." For example, the warning can be displayed using the smartphone's notification function, and the warning can be sent via email or SMS.

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.

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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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).
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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."
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
