[0004] In recent years, wearable devices have increasingly been used for health management and early detection of illnesses, but problems remain that prevent these devices from becoming widespread. The main factors include the inconvenience of constantly wearing the device, the hassle of users managing their own data, and the accuracy of disease detection. Furthermore, due to a lack of established collaboration with medical institutions, appropriate and prompt measures may not be taken even if an abnormality is detected. The present invention aims to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The present invention provides a system having the following configuration.
[0006] The data collection unit acquires the user's physiological data and voice data in real time, and the data analysis unit processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate their health condition. Furthermore, the anomaly detection unit detects health abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, and the notification unit notifies designated recipients based on the abnormalities detected by the anomaly detection unit.

[0158] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0159] Step 1: Wear the device
[0160] The user wears the ear hook type device on their ear. This automatically starts the device and starts collecting physiological and audio data. Specifically, the heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, and microphone start working and data collection begins. The input is "user wearing" and the output is "sensor activation."
[0161] Step 2: Collect biometric data
[0162] The device uses a heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, and microphone to collect the user's heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds in real time, allowing the device to constantly monitor the user's physiological state. The input is "physiological data and audio data acquired by the sensors," and the output is "physiological data and audio data collected in real time."
[0163] Step 3: Sending data
[0164] The device sends the collected data to a smartphone via Bluetooth, and the smartphone transfers the data to a server via Wi-Fi. A timestamp is added, making it easier for the server to process the data. The input is the "collected physiological data and voice data," and the output is the "data sent to the server."
[0165] Step 4: Save your data
[0166] The server stores the received physiological and audio data in a MySQL database. The important thing here is that the data is time-stamped, which makes it possible to analyze it later along a timeline. The input is "data sent to the server" and the output is "data stored in the database."
[0167] Step 5: Analyze the data
[0168] The server analyzes the stored data using Python and TensorFlow. Specifically, it runs algorithms that analyze heart rate variability, separate audio data, and evaluate changes in body temperature. This analysis evaluates the user's current health status. The input is the data stored in the database, and the output is the analysis results.
[0169] Step 6: Anomaly detection
[0170] The server detects anomalies based on the analysis results. If an anomaly is detected, the details of the anomaly and the corresponding data are recorded in a log. For example, if the analysis results determine that the heart rate is abnormally high, this is detected as an anomaly. The input is the "analysis results" and the output is the "anomaly detection results."
[0171] Step 7: Sending notifications
[0172] The server uses Node.js to send notifications to users, their families, and medical professionals based on the anomaly detection results. The notifications include the results of data analysis and details of the specific abnormality. The input is the "anomaly detection results," and the output is "notifications to recipients."
[0173] Step 8: Provide feedback
[0174] The device provides voice feedback to the user based on the analysis results obtained from the server. Specifically, a message such as "Your heart rate is high. Please rest" is provided through the speaker. The input is "analysis results and abnormality detection results," and the output is "voice feedback."

[0196] Biometric data collection
[0197] The device is worn in the user's ear and collects physiological data such as heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds in real time. This data is acquired by internal sensors.
[0198] Data transmission
[0199] The terminals send the collected data to the server at regular intervals, and the data is time-stamped, making it easier for the server to process it.
[0200] User Feedback
[0201] The device then provides feedback to the user based on the analysis results obtained from the server.

[0202] User Action
[0203] Wearing the device
[0204] The user wears the earhook-type device, which automatically starts up and begins collecting physiological and audio data.
[0205] Receiving feedback
[0206] The user receives feedback from the device and adjusts their behavior accordingly. For example, if an abnormality is detected, the device recommends taking specific action, such as visiting a medical institution.
[0207] Specific examples
[0208] For example, when a user wears the device in their ear, the device collects their heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds. This data is periodically sent to a server, where it is analyzed in real time. Based on the analysis results, if the heart rate is higher than normal, for example, the device will provide voice feedback saying, "Your heart rate is high. Please take a deep breath." If stress is detected, the device will send a notification saying, "Your stress is increasing. Please relax." By following this feedback and taking a deep breath, the user can stabilize their heart rate.
[0209] Generative AI model prompt example
[0210] The next analysis will receive the user's heart rate data and determine if it is an abnormal value. If the heart rate is not within the range of 60 to 100, notify the user that "An abnormal heart rate has been detected." Below is an example of heart rate data.

[0314] The received analysis results are saved in the internal memory.
[0315] Step 5: User feedback
[0316] The terminal provides feedback to the user based on the analysis results from the server.
[0317] Analyze the results and determine the necessary actions.
[0318] Provides audio feedback through a speaker.

This data is periodically sent to a server, where it is analyzed in real time. Based on the analysis results, if the heart rate is higher than normal, for example, the device will provide voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high. Take a deep breath." At the same time, if the device determines that the user is feeling stressed based on the tone and pace of their voice, it will add advice such as "You seem stressed. Relax." By following this feedback and taking deep breaths and practicing relaxation techniques, the user can stabilize their heart rate and reduce stress.
[0335] The above are the specific processing steps in the system of the present invention. This process allows the user's health and emotional state to be monitored in real time, and if an abnormality is detected, a notification is sent immediately. This allows for early health management and emotional management at the same time.
[0336] Example 2
[0337] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0338] In recent years, personal health management has become increasingly important. However, existing systems lack the ability to adequately monitor physiological data and emotional states in real time, making it difficult to respond quickly when abnormalities occur. Furthermore, there are limited means for providing appropriate feedback and advice to users. This makes it difficult for users to effectively manage their own health and emotional states. To address these issues, a system that comprehensively collects, analyzes, and provides feedback in real time is needed.
[0339] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of the user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a voice feedback unit that provides specific health advice to the user based on the results of the data analysis unit. This enables real-time monitoring of the health and emotional states and the provision of appropriate feedback and advice. Furthermore, early detection of abnormalities and rapid response enable the user to effectively manage their own health and emotional states.
[0340] A "data collection unit" is a device that has the function of acquiring physiological data and voice data of a user in real time.
[0341] "Physiological data" refers to data that indicates the user's physical condition, such as heart rate and body temperature.
[0342] "Voice data" refers to acoustic data that includes the user's voice and surrounding sounds.
[0343] The "data analysis unit" is a device that processes and analyzes acquired physiological and audio data to evaluate health and emotional states.
[0344] "Health status" is an indicator of a user's physical condition, and is primarily evaluated by heart rate, body temperature, etc.
[0345] "Emotional state" is an index that indicates the user's psychological state, and is primarily evaluated by the tone and pace of the voice data.
[0346] The "anomaly detection unit" is a device that has the function of detecting health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit.
[0347] The "notification unit" is a device that has the function of notifying a predetermined notification destination based on an abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit.
[0348] The "voice feedback unit" is a device that has the function of providing specific health advice to the user based on the results of the data analysis unit.
[0349] "Health Advice" means specific instructions or suggestions provided to a User to improve or maintain their health.
[0350] "Emotion management advice" is specific instructions or suggestions provided to help users achieve psychological well-being.
[0351] The present invention is a system for collecting physiological data and audio data of a user in real time using an earhook-type wearable device, and analyzing the data to evaluate the health and emotional state of the user, which includes a data collection unit, a data analysis unit, an anomaly detection unit, a notification unit, and an audio feedback unit.
[0352] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0353] Data Acquisition Unit
[0354] The data collection unit is built into the earhook device. Its main hardware includes a heart rate sensor to measure heart rate, a temperature sensor to measure body temperature, and a microphone to collect sounds and voices. The audio data is filtered by an audio processor to extract only the necessary data. This data is then transmitted in real time to a server via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
[0355] Data Analysis Unit
[0356] The server functions as a data analysis unit. The acquired physiological and audio data is first stored in a database. Then, heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are analyzed using Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries. The emotional state is evaluated from the audio data using IBM Watson (registered trademark) sentiment analysis API. The results of the data analysis are used for the next step, anomaly detection.
[0357] Anomaly Detection Unit
[0358] The server runs an algorithm to detect health and emotional anomalies based on the results of the data analysis unit. The algorithm is designed to compare the analysis results with pre-set thresholds and detect any anomalies that occur. Detected anomalies are immediately passed to the notification unit.
[0359] Notification Unit
[0360] The notification unit is responsible for sending necessary notifications based on the anomalies detected by the anomaly detection unit. These notifications are sent via SMS or email using APIs such as Twilio. The notifications include details of the anomaly and the analysis results.
[0361] Audio Feedback Unit
[0362] The device also has a built-in voice feedback unit that receives feedback from the server and notifies the user via voice. The feedback includes specific health advice, such as "Your heart rate is high, take a deep breath" or "You seem stressed, relax." This allows the user to take action in real time according to their health and emotional state.
[0363] Adding specific examples
[0364] For example, when a user wears an earhook device, their heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds are collected in real time. This data is periodically sent from the device to a server, where it is analyzed. If the analysis detects a high heart rate or stress, the device will provide voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high. Please take a deep breath" or "You seem stressed. Please relax."
[0365] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0366] "How can we build a system where an earhook device attached to the ear measures heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds in real time, and analyzes the user's emotional state and provides advice?"
[0367] This system allows users to constantly monitor their own health and emotional state and take appropriate action quickly.
[0368] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0369] Step 1:
[0370] When the user wears the earhook device, the device automatically starts up and collects physiological data (heart rate, body temperature) and audio data (life sounds, voice) in real time. The collected data is temporarily stored in the built-in memory. The input is the user's physiological data and audio data, and the output is a buffer of the collected data.
[0371] Step 2:
[0372] The device reads the collected physiological and audio data from the buffer at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 seconds) and transmits it to the server using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The data is encrypted before transmission to ensure communication security. The input is the data read from the buffer, and the output is the encrypted data packet.
[0373] Step 3:
[0374] The server decompresses the data packets received from the terminal and stores them in a database. This process also formats the data, checks for duplicates, and filters outliers. The input is the encrypted data packet, and the output is the normal data stored in the database.
[0375] Step 4:
[0376] The server uses Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries to analyze the stored physiological and audio data. Heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are smoothed using the moving average method, and frequency components are extracted from the audio data using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The emotional state of the audio data is also recognized using an emotion analysis API. The input is the physiological and audio data stored in the database, and the output is the analysis results (health status and emotional state).
[0377] Step 5:
[0378] The server detects anomalies based on the analysis results. If the health or emotional state exceeds a preset threshold, it is deemed to be an anomaly. When an anomaly is detected, the data is immediately passed to the notification unit. The input is the analysis results, and the output is the anomaly detection result.
[0379] Step 6:
[0380] The server uses APIs such as Twilio to send notifications via SMS or email to users, their families, and medical professionals based on the anomaly detection results. The notifications include the results of data analysis and details of the anomaly. The input is the anomaly detection result, and the output is the sent notification message.
[0381] Step 7:
[0382] The terminal receives feedback from the server and notifies the user through the voice feedback unit. For example, if the heart rate is high, voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high, please take a deep breath" is given. Also, depending on the emotional state, advice such as "You seem to be stressed, please relax" is given. The input is the feedback result from the server, and the output is the voice feedback.
[0383] Through the processing flow of these steps, the system of the present invention can monitor the user's health and emotional state in real time, quickly notify the user if an abnormality occurs, and provide the user with appropriate advice.
[0384] (Application example 2)
[0385] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0386] Conventional wearable devices mainly collect physiological data from users, but lack the ability to monitor their emotional state. Furthermore, their ability to detect abnormalities in real time and provide appropriate advice is incomplete, limiting their use in security services, where stress management and rapid notification of abnormalities are essential. As a result, there is a need for a means to effectively monitor the health and emotional state of employees, such as security guards.
[0387] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0388] In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of a user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a user interface unit that provides specific feedback to the user based on the analysis results. This makes it possible to monitor the health and emotional states of security guards in real time and to provide immediate countermeasures when an abnormality is detected.

[0702] The device measures and generates data on the user's heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds in real time, as well as collecting data needed to detect the user's emotional state.
[0703] Data transmission
[0704] The device transmits the collected physiological data, voice data, and emotional state data to a server at regular intervals.
[0705] User Feedback
[0706] The device then provides the user with feedback based on the analysis results obtained from the server. The feedback is provided in the form of voice, and specific advice is provided, such as "Your heart rate is high. Take a deep breath" or "You seem to be stressed. Relax."
[0707] User Action
[0708] Wearing the device
[0709] The user wears the earhook-type device, which automatically starts up and begins collecting physiological, audio, and emotional data.
[0710] Receiving feedback
[0711] Users can then adjust their behavior based on the feedback provided by the device. For example, if an abnormality is detected, specific actions such as seeking medical attention may be recommended. Users may also receive advice based on their emotional state, helping them to practice stress management and relaxation techniques.
[0712] Specific examples
[0713] For example, when a user wears the device in their ear, the device collects their heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds. This data is periodically sent to a server, where it is analyzed in real time. Based on the analysis results, if the heart rate is higher than normal, for example, the device will provide voice feedback such as, "Your heart rate is high. Please take a deep breath." At the same time, if the device determines that the user is feeling stressed based on the tone and pace of their voice, it will add the advice, "You seem stressed. Relax." By following this feedback and taking deep breaths, the user can stabilize their heart rate and reduce stress.
[0714] As described above, the system of the present invention effectively supports health and stress management by monitoring the user's health and emotional state in real time and immediately notifying the user if any abnormalities occur. This system allows the user to constantly understand their own health and emotional state and quickly take appropriate measures.

[0752] The received analysis results are saved in the internal memory.
[0753] Step 5: User feedback
[0754] The terminal provides feedback to the user based on the analysis results from the server.
[0755] Analyze the results and determine the necessary actions.
[0756] Provides audio feedback through a speaker.

This data is periodically sent to a server, where it is analyzed in real time. Based on the analysis results, if the heart rate is higher than normal, for example, the device will provide voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high. Take a deep breath." At the same time, if the device determines that the user is feeling stressed based on the tone and pace of their voice, it will add advice such as "You seem stressed. Relax." By following this feedback and taking deep breaths and practicing relaxation techniques, the user can stabilize their heart rate and reduce stress.
[0773] The above are the specific processing steps in the system of the present invention. This process allows the user's health and emotional state to be monitored in real time, and if an abnormality is detected, a notification is sent immediately. This allows for early health management and emotional management at the same time.
[0774] Example 2
[0775] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0776] In recent years, personal health management has become increasingly important. However, existing systems lack the ability to adequately monitor physiological data and emotional states in real time, making it difficult to respond quickly when abnormalities occur. Furthermore, there are limited means for providing appropriate feedback and advice to users. This makes it difficult for users to effectively manage their own health and emotional states. To address these issues, a system that comprehensively collects, analyzes, and provides feedback in real time is needed.
[0777] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of the user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a voice feedback unit that provides specific health advice to the user based on the results of the data analysis unit. This enables real-time monitoring of the health and emotional states and the provision of appropriate feedback and advice. Furthermore, early detection of abnormalities and rapid response enable the user to effectively manage their own health and emotional states.
[0778] A "data collection unit" is a device that has the function of acquiring physiological data and voice data of a user in real time.
[0779] "Physiological data" refers to data that indicates the user's physical condition, such as heart rate and body temperature.
[0780] "Voice data" refers to acoustic data that includes the user's voice and surrounding sounds.
[0781] The "data analysis unit" is a device that processes and analyzes acquired physiological and audio data to evaluate health and emotional states.
[0782] "Health status" is an indicator of a user's physical condition, and is primarily evaluated by heart rate, body temperature, etc.
[0783] "Emotional state" is an index that indicates the user's psychological state, and is primarily evaluated by the tone and pace of the voice data.
[0784] The "anomaly detection unit" is a device that has the function of detecting health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit.
[0785] The "notification unit" is a device that has the function of notifying a predetermined notification destination based on an abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit.
[0786] The "voice feedback unit" is a device that has the function of providing specific health advice to the user based on the results of the data analysis unit.
[0787] "Health Advice" means specific instructions or suggestions provided to a User to improve or maintain their health.
[0788] "Emotion management advice" is specific instructions or suggestions provided to help users achieve psychological well-being.
[0789] The present invention is a system for collecting physiological data and audio data of a user in real time using an earhook-type wearable device, and analyzing the data to evaluate the health and emotional state of the user, which includes a data collection unit, a data analysis unit, an anomaly detection unit, a notification unit, and an audio feedback unit.
[0790] Hardware and Software Configuration
[0791] Data Acquisition Unit
[0792] The data collection unit is built into the earhook device. Its main hardware includes a heart rate sensor to measure heart rate, a temperature sensor to measure body temperature, and a microphone to collect sounds and voices. The audio data is filtered by an audio processor to extract only the necessary data. This data is then transmitted in real time to a server via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
[0793] Data Analysis Unit
[0794] The server functions as a data analysis unit. The acquired physiological and audio data is first stored in a database. Then, using Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries, heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are analyzed. The emotional state is evaluated from the audio data using IBM Watson's sentiment analysis API. The results of the data analysis are used for the next step, anomaly detection.
[0795] Anomaly Detection Unit
[0796] The server runs an algorithm to detect health and emotional anomalies based on the results of the data analysis unit. The algorithm is designed to compare the analysis results with pre-set thresholds and detect any anomalies that occur. Detected anomalies are immediately passed to the notification unit.
[0797] Notification Unit
[0798] The notification unit is responsible for sending necessary notifications based on the anomalies detected by the anomaly detection unit. These notifications are sent via SMS or email using APIs such as Twilio. The notifications include details of the anomaly and the analysis results.
[0799] Audio Feedback Unit
[0800] The device also has a built-in voice feedback unit that receives feedback from the server and notifies the user via voice. The feedback includes specific health advice, such as "Your heart rate is high, take a deep breath" or "You seem stressed, relax." This allows the user to take action in real time according to their health and emotional state.
[0801] Adding specific examples
[0802] For example, when a user wears an earhook device, their heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds are collected in real time. This data is periodically sent from the device to a server, where it is analyzed. If the analysis detects a high heart rate or stress, the device will provide voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high. Please take a deep breath" or "You seem stressed. Please relax."
[0803] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0804] "How can we build a system where an earhook device attached to the ear measures heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds in real time, and analyzes the user's emotional state and provides advice?"
[0805] This system allows users to constantly monitor their own health and emotional state and take appropriate action quickly.
[0806] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0807] Step 1:
[0808] When the user wears the earhook device, the device automatically starts up and collects physiological data (heart rate, body temperature) and audio data (life sounds, voice) in real time. The collected data is temporarily stored in the built-in memory. The input is the user's physiological data and audio data, and the output is a buffer of the collected data.
[0809] Step 2:
[0810] The device reads the collected physiological and audio data from the buffer at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 seconds) and transmits it to the server using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The data is encrypted before transmission to ensure communication security. The input is the data read from the buffer, and the output is the encrypted data packet.
[0811] Step 3:
[0812] The server decompresses the data packets received from the terminal and stores them in a database. This process also formats the data, checks for duplicates, and filters outliers. The input is the encrypted data packet, and the output is the normal data stored in the database.
[0813] Step 4:
[0814] The server uses Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries to analyze the stored physiological and audio data. Heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are smoothed using the moving average method, and frequency components are extracted from the audio data using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The emotional state of the audio data is also recognized using an emotion analysis API. The input is the physiological and audio data stored in the database, and the output is the analysis results (health status and emotional state).
[0815] Step 5:
[0816] The server detects anomalies based on the analysis results. If the health or emotional state exceeds a preset threshold, it is deemed to be an anomaly. When an anomaly is detected, the data is immediately passed to the notification unit. The input is the analysis results, and the output is the anomaly detection result.
[0817] Step 6:
[0818] The server uses APIs such as Twilio to send notifications via SMS or email to users, their families, and medical professionals based on the anomaly detection results. The notifications include the results of data analysis and details of the anomaly. The input is the anomaly detection result, and the output is the sent notification message.
[0819] Step 7:
[0820] The terminal receives feedback from the server and notifies the user through the voice feedback unit. For example, if the heart rate is high, voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high, please take a deep breath" is given. Also, depending on the emotional state, advice such as "You seem to be stressed, please relax" is given. The input is the feedback result from the server, and the output is the voice feedback.
[0821] Through the processing flow of these steps, the system of the present invention can monitor the user's health and emotional state in real time, quickly notify the user if an abnormality occurs, and provide the user with appropriate advice.
[0822] (Application example 2)
[0823] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0824] Conventional wearable devices mainly collect physiological data from users, but lack the ability to monitor their emotional state. Furthermore, their ability to detect abnormalities in real time and provide appropriate advice is incomplete, limiting their use in security services, where stress management and rapid notification of abnormalities are essential. As a result, there is a need for a means to effectively monitor the health and emotional state of employees, such as security guards.
[0825] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[0826] In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of a user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a user interface unit that provides specific feedback to the user based on the analysis results. This makes it possible to monitor the health and emotional states of security guards in real time and to provide immediate countermeasures when an abnormality is detected.

[1213] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1214] In recent years, personal health management has become increasingly important. However, existing systems lack the ability to adequately monitor physiological data and emotional states in real time, making it difficult to respond quickly when abnormalities occur. Furthermore, there are limited means for providing appropriate feedback and advice to users. This makes it difficult for users to effectively manage their own health and emotional states. To address these issues, a system that comprehensively collects, analyzes, and provides feedback in real time is needed.
[1215] The identification processing by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of the user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a voice feedback unit that provides specific health advice to the user based on the results of the data analysis unit. This enables real-time monitoring of the health and emotional states and the provision of appropriate feedback and advice. Furthermore, early detection of abnormalities and rapid response enable the user to effectively manage their own health and emotional states.
[1216] A "data collection unit" is a device that has the function of acquiring physiological data and voice data of a user in real time.
[1217] "Physiological data" refers to data that indicates the user's physical condition, such as heart rate and body temperature.
[1218] "Voice data" refers to acoustic data that includes the user's voice and surrounding sounds.
[1219] The "data analysis unit" is a device that processes and analyzes acquired physiological and audio data to evaluate health and emotional states.
[1220] "Health status" is an indicator of a user's physical condition, and is primarily evaluated by heart rate, body temperature, etc.
[1221] "Emotional state" is an index that indicates the user's psychological state, and is primarily evaluated by the tone and pace of the voice data.
[1222] The "anomaly detection unit" is a device that has the function of detecting health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit.
[1223] The "notification unit" is a device that has the function of notifying a predetermined notification destination based on an abnormality detected by the abnormality detection unit.
[1224] The "voice feedback unit" is a device that has the function of providing specific health advice to the user based on the results of the data analysis unit.
[1225] "Health Advice" means specific instructions or suggestions provided to a User to improve or maintain their health.
[1226] "Emotion management advice" is specific instructions or suggestions provided to help users achieve psychological well-being.
[1227] The present invention is a system for collecting physiological data and audio data of a user in real time using an earhook-type wearable device, and analyzing the data to evaluate the health and emotional state of the user, which includes a data collection unit, a data analysis unit, an anomaly detection unit, a notification unit, and an audio feedback unit.
[1228] Hardware and Software Configuration
[1229] Data Acquisition Unit
[1230] The data collection unit is built into the earhook device. Its main hardware includes a heart rate sensor to measure heart rate, a temperature sensor to measure body temperature, and a microphone to collect sounds and voices. The audio data is filtered by an audio processor to extract only the necessary data. This data is then transmitted in real time to a server via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
[1231] Data Analysis Unit
[1232] The server functions as a data analysis unit. The acquired physiological and audio data is first stored in a database. Then, using Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries, heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are analyzed. The emotional state is evaluated from the audio data using IBM Watson's sentiment analysis API. The results of the data analysis are used for the next step, anomaly detection.
[1233] Anomaly Detection Unit
[1234] The server runs an algorithm to detect health and emotional anomalies based on the results of the data analysis unit. The algorithm is designed to compare the analysis results with pre-set thresholds and detect any anomalies that occur. Detected anomalies are immediately passed to the notification unit.
[1235] Notification Unit
[1236] The notification unit is responsible for sending necessary notifications based on the anomalies detected by the anomaly detection unit. These notifications are sent via SMS or email using APIs such as Twilio. The notifications include details of the anomaly and the analysis results.
[1237] Audio Feedback Unit
[1238] The device also has a built-in voice feedback unit that receives feedback from the server and notifies the user via voice. The feedback includes specific health advice, such as "Your heart rate is high, take a deep breath" or "You seem stressed, relax." This allows the user to take action in real time according to their health and emotional state.
[1239] Adding specific examples
[1240] For example, when a user wears an earhook device, their heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds are collected in real time. This data is periodically sent from the device to a server, where it is analyzed. If the analysis detects a high heart rate or stress, the device will provide voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high. Please take a deep breath" or "You seem stressed. Please relax."
[1241] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1242] "How can we build a system where an earhook device attached to the ear measures heart rate, body temperature, and everyday sounds in real time, and analyzes the user's emotional state and provides advice?"
[1243] This system allows users to constantly monitor their own health and emotional state and take appropriate action quickly.
[1244] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1245] Step 1:
[1246] When the user wears the earhook device, the device automatically starts up and collects physiological data (heart rate, body temperature) and audio data (life sounds, voice) in real time. The collected data is temporarily stored in the built-in memory. The input is the user's physiological data and audio data, and the output is a buffer of the collected data.
[1247] Step 2:
[1248] The device reads the collected physiological and audio data from the buffer at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 seconds) and transmits it to the server using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The data is encrypted before transmission to ensure communication security. The input is the data read from the buffer, and the output is the encrypted data packet.
[1249] Step 3:
[1250] The server decompresses the data packets received from the terminal and stores them in a database. This process also formats the data, checks for duplicates, and filters outliers. The input is the encrypted data packet, and the output is the normal data stored in the database.
[1251] Step 4:
[1252] The server uses Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries to analyze the stored physiological and audio data. Heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are smoothed using the moving average method, and frequency components are extracted from the audio data using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The emotional state of the audio data is also recognized using an emotion analysis API. The input is the physiological and audio data stored in the database, and the output is the analysis results (health status and emotional state).
[1253] Step 5:
[1254] The server detects anomalies based on the analysis results. If the health or emotional state exceeds a preset threshold, it is deemed to be an anomaly. When an anomaly is detected, the data is immediately passed to the notification unit. The input is the analysis results, and the output is the anomaly detection result.
[1255] Step 6:
[1256] The server uses APIs such as Twilio to send notifications via SMS or email to users, their families, and medical professionals based on the anomaly detection results. The notifications include the results of data analysis and details of the anomaly. The input is the anomaly detection result, and the output is the sent notification message.
[1257] Step 7:
[1258] The terminal receives feedback from the server and notifies the user through the voice feedback unit. For example, if the heart rate is high, voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high, please take a deep breath" is given. Also, depending on the emotional state, advice such as "You seem to be stressed, please relax" is given. The input is the feedback result from the server, and the output is the voice feedback.
[1259] Through the processing flow of these steps, the system of the present invention can monitor the user's health and emotional state in real time, quickly notify the user if an abnormality occurs, and provide the user with appropriate advice.
[1260] (Application example 2)
[1261] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1262] Conventional wearable devices mainly collect physiological data from users, but lack the ability to monitor their emotional state. Furthermore, their ability to detect abnormalities in real time and provide appropriate advice is incomplete, limiting their use in security services, where stress management and rapid notification of abnormalities are essential. As a result, there is a need for a means to effectively monitor the health and emotional state of employees, such as security guards.
[1263] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1264] In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of a user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a user interface unit that provides specific feedback to the user based on the analysis results. This makes it possible to monitor the health and emotional states of security guards in real time and to provide immediate countermeasures when an abnormality is detected.

[1671] The server functions as a data analysis unit. The acquired physiological and audio data is first stored in a database. Then, using Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries, heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are analyzed. The emotional state is evaluated from the audio data using IBM Watson's sentiment analysis API. The results of the data analysis are used for the next step, anomaly detection.
[1672] Anomaly Detection Unit
[1673] The server runs an algorithm to detect health and emotional anomalies based on the results of the data analysis unit. The algorithm is designed to compare the analysis results with pre-set thresholds and detect any anomalies that occur. Detected anomalies are immediately passed to the notification unit.
[1674] Notification Unit
[1675] The notification unit is responsible for sending necessary notifications based on the anomalies detected by the anomaly detection unit. These notifications are sent via SMS or email using APIs such as Twilio. The notifications include details of the anomaly and the analysis results.

The data is encrypted before transmission to ensure communication security. The input is the data read from the buffer, and the output is the encrypted data packet.
[1688] Step 3:
[1689] The server decompresses the data packets received from the terminal and stores them in a database. This process also formats the data, checks for duplicates, and filters outliers. The input is the encrypted data packet, and the output is the normal data stored in the database.
[1690] Step 4:
[1691] The server uses Python's SciPy and NumPy libraries to analyze the stored physiological and audio data. Heart rate fluctuations and changes in body temperature are smoothed using the moving average method, and frequency components are extracted from the audio data using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The emotional state of the audio data is also recognized using an emotion analysis API. The input is the physiological and audio data stored in the database, and the output is the analysis results (health status and emotional state).
[1692] Step 5:
[1693] The server detects anomalies based on the analysis results. If the health or emotional state exceeds a preset threshold, it is deemed to be an anomaly. When an anomaly is detected, the data is immediately passed to the notification unit. The input is the analysis results, and the output is the anomaly detection result.
[1694] Step 6:
[1695] The server uses APIs such as Twilio to send notifications via SMS or email to users, their families, and medical professionals based on the anomaly detection results. The notifications include the results of data analysis and details of the anomaly. The input is the anomaly detection result, and the output is the sent notification message.
[1696] Step 7:
[1697] The terminal receives feedback from the server and notifies the user through the voice feedback unit. For example, if the heart rate is high, voice feedback such as "Your heart rate is high, please take a deep breath" is given. Also, depending on the emotional state, advice such as "You seem to be stressed, please relax" is given. The input is the feedback result from the server, and the output is the voice feedback.
[1698] Through the processing flow of these steps, the system of the present invention can monitor the user's health and emotional state in real time, quickly notify the user if an abnormality occurs, and provide the user with appropriate advice.
[1699] (Application example 2)
[1700] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1701] Conventional wearable devices mainly collect physiological data from users, but lack the ability to monitor their emotional state. Furthermore, their ability to detect abnormalities in real time and provide appropriate advice is incomplete, limiting their use in security services, where stress management and rapid notification of abnormalities are essential. As a result, there is a need for a means to effectively monitor the health and emotional state of employees, such as security guards.
[1702] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1703] In this invention, the server includes a data collection unit that acquires physiological data and voice data of a user in real time, a data analysis unit that processes and analyzes the acquired physiological data and voice data to evaluate the health and emotional states, an anomaly detection unit that detects health and emotional abnormalities based on the analysis results from the data analysis unit, a notification unit that notifies a predetermined notification destination based on the abnormality detected by the anomaly detection unit, and a user interface unit that provides specific feedback to the user based on the analysis results. This makes it possible to monitor the health and emotional states of security guards in real time and to provide immediate countermeasures when an abnormality is detected.

[1712] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1713] System Overview
[1714] The system of this invention collects and analyzes physiological and voice data of security guards in real time by having them wear earhook-type wearable devices. The system evaluates the health and emotional state of the security guards and immediately notifies them appropriately if any abnormalities are detected. It also provides specific feedback to the security guards based on the analysis results.
[1715] Hardware used
[1716] Ear hook wearable device: Worn by security guards, it collects physiological and audio data.
[1717] Server: Collects, stores, and analyzes data.
[1718] Smartphone: The device through which security guards receive notifications.
[1719] Software used
[1720] Programming language: Python
[1721] Database: MySQL
[1722] Analysis algorithm: Heart rate variability analysis, voice recognition
[1723] Emotion engine: Deep Learning model (TensorFlow)
[1724] Data exchange and analysis
[1725] In this system, data is exchanged and analyzed through the following steps:
[1726] Terminal handling
[1727] The wearable device collects the guard's heart rate, body temperature, sound, and emotional data in real time, and transmits the collected data to a server at regular intervals. The device also provides feedback to the guard based on the analysis results from the server.
[1728] Server Processing
[1729] The server receives physiological and audio data sent from the device in real time and stores it in a MySQL database. The stored data is then analyzed by an emotion engine using TensorFlow. Specific analysis tasks include heart rate variability analysis, changes in body temperature, audio data segmentation, and emotional state recognition. Health and emotional abnormalities are detected based on the analysis results, and if an abnormality is detected, the server immediately sends a notification to the security guard's smartphone. The notification includes specific advice such as "Your heart rate is high. Please take a break" or "Your stress is increasing. Please try to relax."
[1730] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1731] Use the following as an example of a prompt for a generative AI model:
[1732] "Please display the prediction results of the emotion engine that estimates the user's stress level from their voice data."
[1733] Specific examples
[1734] For example, when security guard A is wearing the earhook device, the device detects his heart rate of 120 bpm, body temperature of 37.5°C, and stress level from his voice. The server receives this data and evaluates his health and emotional state based on the analysis results. If the anomaly detection unit detects an abnormal heart rate and stress level, the server immediately sends a notification to security guard A's smartphone, providing feedback such as, "Your heart rate is high. Please take a break."
[1735] As described above, the system of the present invention effectively supports health and stress management for security guards, and is capable of detecting abnormalities in real time and responding immediately. This system allows security guards to constantly monitor their own health and emotional state and quickly take appropriate measures.
[1736] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1737] Program processing flow
[1738] Step 1: Data collection
[1739] The device collects the guard's heart rate, body temperature, daily sounds, and emotional data.
[1740] Input: Security guard's biometric information (heart rate, body temperature), daily sounds, voice input
[1741] Output: Collected biometric and audio data
[1742] Specific operation: The earhook wearable device collects data using built-in sensors (heart rate sensor, temperature sensor) and microphone. The device prepares to send the data to a server at regular intervals.
[1743] Step 2: Sending data
[1744] The terminal transmits the collected physiological data, audio data, and emotional state data to a server.
[1745] Input: Biometric and audio data collected in step 1
[1746] Output: Data packets sent to the server
[1747] Specific operation: The device sends the collected data to the server at regular intervals using Wi-Fi or mobile data communication.
[1748] Step 3: Save your data
[1749] The server stores the received physiological data and voice data in a database.
[1750] Input: Biometric data and voice data sent from the device
[1751] Output: Data stored in the database
[1752] What happens: The Python script runs a SQL query against the MySQL database to insert the received data.
[1753] Step 4: Data analysis
[1754] The server analyzes the stored data.
[1755] Input: Biometric and audio data stored in a database
[1756] Output: Health and emotional state assessment results
[1757] How it works: A program written in Python uses TensorFlow to analyze audio data to detect emotional states, and runs algorithms that analyze heart rate and temperature data to assess outliers.
[1758] Step 5: Anomaly detection
[1759] The anomaly detection unit detects anomalies based on the analysis results.
[1760] Input: Health and emotional state assessment results
[1761] Output: Anomaly detection results
[1762] Specific operation: If the evaluation result exceeds a specified threshold, the Python code sets an abnormality flag and determines that an abnormality has occurred.
[1763] Step 6: Notification
[1764] The server sends a notification to the security guard's smartphone based on the abnormality detection results.
[1765] Input: Anomaly detection result
[1766] Output: Notification sent to your phone
[1767] Specific operation: The notification function sends an SMS or push notification to the security guard's smartphone informing them of an abnormality and providing specific advice.
[1768] Step 7: Provide feedback
[1769] The terminal provides specific feedback to the security guard based on the analysis results obtained from the server.
[1770] Input: Analysis results and notification content
[1771] Output: Feedback to security guards (audio advice)
[1772] Specific operation: The device uses its voice output function to provide advice to the security guard, such as "Your heart rate is high. Please take a break" or "Your stress is increasing. Please try to relax."
[1773] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[1774] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[1775] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1776] 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.
[1777] 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.
[1778] 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.
[1779] 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).
[1780] 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.
[1781] 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."
[1782] 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.
[1783] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[1784] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[1785] 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.
[1786] 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.
[1787] 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.
[1788] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor 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. Another example of a processor is 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.
[1789] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing 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 processing may be a single processor.
[1790] 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.
[1791] 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.

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.
