[0028] (Example 1) A street lighting system according to an embodiment of the present invention is equipped with a multimodal AI that also analyzes audio data, ensuring public safety regardless of changes in day and night, visibility, or pedestrian traffic. The street lighting system uses cameras and microphones to collect data, and multimodal AI analyzes this data to detect abnormal behavior, late-night behavior, abandoned bicycles, traffic accidents, and other issues, and then reports them to the police, fire department, and administrator. The street lighting system also adjusts the directionality and illumination range of lighting according to pedestrian and traffic volume, adjusting light intensity as needed to prevent crime and conserve energy. For example, the street lighting system uses cameras to capture high-resolution video images day and night, and microphones to collect surrounding audio. The street lighting system then uses multimodal AI to analyze the collected video and audio data. For example, the multimodal AI detects abnormal behavior, abandoned bicycles, and traffic accidents from the video data, and abnormal sounds and late-night behavior from the audio data. The street lighting system then reports the detected anomalies to the police, fire department, and administrator. For example, if abnormal behavior is detected, the police will be notified immediately, and if a traffic accident is detected, the fire department or emergency services will be notified. Furthermore, street lighting systems adjust the directionality and illumination range of lighting according to the number of people and traffic volumes. For example, the directionality of lighting is widened during times of heavy foot traffic, and the illumination range is narrowed during times of light traffic. Energy can also be saved by adjusting the intensity of the light as needed. For example, energy consumption can be reduced by reducing the intensity of the light late at night. This allows street lighting systems to ensure public safety, day and night. For example, detecting abnormal behavior or traffic accidents enables a quick response, which is expected to prevent crime and reduce accidents. Energy can also be saved by adjusting the directionality, illumination range, and intensity of lighting. For example, energy consumption can be reduced by reducing the intensity of the light late at night.
[0029] A street lighting system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a reporting unit, and a lighting adjustment unit. The collection unit collects data using a camera or a microphone. The camera, for example, captures high-resolution video day or night. The collection unit also includes a microphone that picks up surrounding sounds. For example, the camera monitors the area around the street light, and the microphone collects people's conversations and the sounds of cars. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit, for example, uses multimodal AI to detect abnormal behavior, abandoned bicycles, traffic accidents, and the like from the video data. The analysis unit also detects abnormal sounds and late-night behavior from the audio data. For example, the multimodal AI detects a person falling from the video data, and detects screams and collision sounds from the audio data. The reporting unit reports an abnormality based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the reporting unit immediately reports to the police if it detects abnormal behavior, and to the fire department or emergency services if it detects a traffic accident. This enables a rapid response. The lighting adjustment unit adjusts the lighting based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the lighting adjustment unit widens the directionality of the lighting during busy hours and narrows the illumination range during light traffic hours. The lighting adjustment unit also adjusts the intensity of the light as needed. For example, by reducing the intensity of the light late at night, energy consumption can be reduced. As a result, the street lighting system according to the embodiment can ensure public safety and save energy.
[0030] The collection unit can be equipped with a camera that captures high-definition images day and night. The camera can, for example, capture high-resolution images during the day and capture images in the dark at night using an infrared camera. The camera can also monitor a wide area using a wide-angle lens. Furthermore, the camera has a zoom function and can capture distant objects in detail. This improves the accuracy of detecting anomalies by capturing high-resolution images day and night. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input video data acquired by the camera to a generation AI and have the generation AI detect anomalies from the video data.
[0031] The collection unit may include a microphone that picks up environmental sounds. The microphone may, for example, be capable of picking up ambient sounds with high sensitivity. The microphone may also have a noise-canceling function, which can eliminate unnecessary noise. Furthermore, the microphone is directional and can preferentially collect sounds from a specific direction. This allows the collection unit to analyze the audio data and detect anomalies by picking up ambient sounds. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit may input audio data acquired by the microphone to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to detect anomalies from the audio data.
[0032] The analysis unit can detect abnormal behavior, abandoned bicycles, or traffic accidents from the video data. The analysis unit detects abnormal behavior from the video data, for example, using multimodal AI. For example, the analysis unit can detect a person lying down or suspicious behavior. The analysis unit can also detect abandoned bicycles. For example, the analysis unit can detect a bicycle that has not moved for a certain period of time and recognize it as an abandoned bicycle. The analysis unit can also detect traffic accidents. For example, the analysis unit can detect a vehicle collision or fall and recognize it as a traffic accident. This makes it possible to detect abnormal behavior, abandoned bicycles, traffic accidents, etc. from the video data with high accuracy. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the analysis unit can input video data to a generation AI and have the generation AI detect abnormal behavior, abandoned bicycles, and traffic accidents.
[0033] The analysis unit can detect abnormal sounds or late-night behavior from the audio data. The analysis unit detects abnormal sounds from the audio data, for example, using multimodal AI. For example, the analysis unit can detect screams or crashing sounds. The analysis unit can also detect late-night behavior.

This allows for highly accurate detection of abnormal sounds and late-night behavior from the audio data. Some or all of the above-described 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 audio data to a generation AI and have the generation AI detect abnormal sounds or late-night behavior.
[0034] The reporting unit can notify the police when it detects abnormal behavior. For example, when the analysis unit detects abnormal behavior, the reporting unit immediately notifies the police. For example, the reporting unit provides detailed information about the abnormal behavior to the police to encourage a prompt response. The reporting unit can also include location information and video data in the report content. This makes it easier for the police to grasp the situation at the scene. This makes it possible to quickly notify the police when abnormal behavior is detected. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reporting unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reporting unit can input information about the abnormal behavior into a generation AI and have the generation AI generate the report content.
[0035] The reporting unit can notify the fire department or emergency services when it detects a traffic accident.

For example, the reporting unit provides detailed information about the traffic accident to the fire department or emergency services to encourage a prompt response. The reporting unit can also include location information and video data in the report content. This makes it easier for the fire department or emergency services to understand the situation at the scene. This makes it possible to quickly notify the fire department or emergency services when a traffic accident is detected. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reporting unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reporting unit can input information about the traffic accident into a generation AI and have the generation AI generate the report content.
[0036] The lighting adjustment unit can widen the directionality of lighting during times when there is a lot of foot traffic. For example, the lighting adjustment unit widens the directionality of lighting during times when there is a lot of foot traffic. For example, the lighting adjustment unit improves visibility by illuminating a wide area. The lighting adjustment unit can also dynamically change the directionality of lighting. For example, it automatically widens the directionality when the number of foot traffic increases and narrows the directionality when the number of foot traffic decreases. In this way, visibility can be improved by widening the directionality of lighting during times when there is a lot of foot traffic. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the lighting adjustment unit may be performed using, or without, AI, for example. For example, the lighting adjustment unit can input pedestrian traffic data into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the directionality of the lighting.
[0037] The lighting adjustment unit can narrow the illumination range during times when traffic volume is low. For example, the lighting adjustment unit narrows the illumination range during times when traffic volume is low. For example, the lighting adjustment unit reduces unnecessary energy consumption by narrowing the illumination range in order to save energy. The lighting adjustment unit can also dynamically change the illumination range. For example, the lighting adjustment unit automatically narrows the illumination range when traffic volume decreases and widens the illumination range when traffic volume increases. In this way, energy can be saved by narrowing the illumination range during times when traffic volume is low. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the lighting adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the lighting adjustment unit can input traffic volume data into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the illumination range.
[0038] The lighting adjustment unit can adjust the light intensity as needed. For example, the lighting adjustment unit adjusts the light intensity as needed. For example, the lighting adjustment unit reduces energy consumption by dimming the light intensity late at night. The lighting adjustment unit can also dynamically change the light intensity. For example, the lighting adjustment unit automatically adjusts the light intensity according to the surrounding brightness and the number of people passing by. This allows energy to be saved by adjusting the light intensity as needed. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the lighting adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the lighting adjustment unit can input data on the surrounding brightness and the number of people passing by into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the light intensity.
[0039] The collection unit can automatically adjust the camera exposure or microphone sensitivity in response to changes in the daytime and nighttime environment. The collection unit automatically adjusts the camera exposure in response to changes in the daytime and nighttime environment. For example, the collection unit can lower the camera exposure during the day and increase it at night to capture high-resolution video. The collection unit can also automatically adjust the microphone sensitivity in response to changes in the daytime and nighttime environment. For example, the collection unit can lower the microphone sensitivity during the day and increase it at night to pick up ambient sounds. The collection unit can also adjust the camera exposure and microphone sensitivity to a medium level during dim light hours such as evening and early morning. This allows optimal data to be collected at all times by automatically adjusting the camera exposure and microphone sensitivity in response to changes in the daytime and nighttime environment. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the collection unit can input daytime and nighttime environmental data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the camera exposure and microphone sensitivity.
[0040] The collection unit can dynamically change the type or amount of collected data depending on a specific event. The collection unit dynamically changes the type and amount of collected data depending on the specific event. For example, when there is a large gathering, the camera resolution can be increased to collect detailed video. The collection unit can also increase the microphone sensitivity during a festival to collect detailed audio data. Furthermore, after the specific event ends, the amount of collected data can be returned to normal. This allows for efficient collection of necessary data by dynamically changing the type and amount of collected data depending on the specific event. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the collection unit can input event data into a generation AI and have the generation AI change the type and amount of collected data.
[0041] The collection unit can activate additional sensors to collect detailed data when it detects an abnormal sound or movement. For example, when it detects an abnormal sound, the collection unit activates additional sensors to collect detailed data. For example, when it detects an abnormal sound, the collection unit can activate a temperature sensor to measure the ambient temperature. Furthermore, when it detects abnormal movement, the collection unit can activate a vibration sensor to measure ground vibrations. Furthermore, when it detects an abnormal sound or movement, the collection unit can simultaneously activate multiple sensors to collect detailed data.

[0179] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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).
[0184] 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 "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.
[0185] 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."
[0186] 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.

The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
