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."
[0036] This invention relates to a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0037] Data Acquisition
[0038] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to collect weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0039] Building the model
[0040] The server uses the acquired weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a regression model that uses the collected weather data as input data and wind direction as output data. This makes it possible to predict which direction the wind will blow under specific weather conditions.
[0041] Fire spread prediction
[0042] The server uses the wind direction prediction model it has created to predict the spread of the fire. It predicts wind direction using meteorological data as input, and then calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread based on that information. This prediction is made in real time, responding to the ever-changing situation of the fire.
[0043] Evacuation route calculation
[0044] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. This calculation uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. The calculation takes into account the extent of the fire damage as an obstacle and determines the route to avoid it.
[0045] Notification of evacuation routes
[0046] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides the user with accurate evacuation instructions. Even after the user begins evacuation, the server recalculates the route in real time based on the latest weather and fire data, and re-notifies the device of the evacuation route as necessary.
[0047] Specific examples
[0048] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. To help the user evacuate safely, the server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire and sends that route to the user's device. The device displays the route on a map and advises the user to "evacuate toward the west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, and calculates a new route if necessary and sends it to the device.
[0049] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0050] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0051] Step 1:
[0052] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0053] Step 2:
[0054] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0055] Step 3:
[0056] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0057] Step 4:
[0058] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0059] Step 5:
[0060] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0061] Step 6:
[0062] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[0063] Step 7:
[0064] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[0065] Step 8:
[0066] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, helping them to follow the new instructions and continue evacuating safely.
[0067] The above is the flow of specific processing steps of the system based on the present invention. This process can support quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0068] Example 1
[0069] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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."
[0070] In recent years, there has been a growing demand for rapid and efficient evacuation in urban areas in the event of a fire. However, a system that predicts the spread of a fire and provides optimal evacuation routes based on that information has not yet been fully established. In particular, systems that integrate meteorological and fire data and have the ability to recalculate and update evacuation routes in real time are rare. As a result, many victims are unable to evacuate quickly and effectively, making it difficult to avoid serious damage. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables rapid and effective evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0071] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0072] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for preprocessing the collected weather data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for simulating the extent of fire spread based on the weather data and the wind direction prediction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the predicted spread of the fire, and means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal. This makes it possible to construct a wind direction prediction model based on weather data and fire data at the time of a fire outbreak, simulate the spread of a fire using the prediction results, and calculate and notify evacuation routes in real time.
[0073] "Weather data" refers to information related to weather, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0074] "Means for collection" is a general term for hardware and software for obtaining necessary data from external systems.
[0075] "Means for constructing a model" refers to the algorithms and software used to generate predictive models based on acquired data.
[0076] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[0077] "Fire data" is information related to a fire, such as the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[0078] "Preprocessing" is the process of normalizing data and filling in missing values in order to build a model.
[0079] "Means for simulating" refers to software or algorithms that virtually reproduce phenomena using predictive models and derive results.
[0080] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to algorithms or methodologies for finding optimal evacuation routes.
[0081] A "terminal" is an electronic device that a user uses to receive information.
[0082] "Means for notifying" refers to the process or tool for transmitting calculated information to a user terminal.
[0083] This invention relates to a system that uses weather data and fire data in an integrated manner to predict the spread of a fire, calculate the optimal evacuation route, and notify the user. This system is composed of several main elements, each of which works together to realize the invention.
[0084] Data Acquisition
[0085] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments via APIs to collect the necessary weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature, etc., and uses the OpenWeatherMap API, for example. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale, and uses a dedicated API provided by the local fire department.
[0086] Data Preprocessing
[0087] The server preprocesses the collected weather data, which includes normalizing the data and filling in missing values. Preprocessing improves the quality of the data and increases the accuracy of the model.
[0088] Building a wind direction prediction model
[0089] The server builds a wind direction prediction model using machine learning libraries such as TENSORFLOW (registered trademark) and PyTorch. It trains a regression model that uses collected weather data as input and wind direction as output. This model is retrained overnight as a batch process.
[0090] Fire spread prediction
[0091] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict wind direction. Based on this, it simulates the spread of the fire in real time. By combining the predicted wind direction with fire data, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread.
[0092] Evacuation route calculation
[0093] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. For example, it uses the A algorithm to search for the shortest route that avoids obstacles. It obtains the user's current location information and calculates the route to a safe evacuation location.
[0094] Notification of evacuation routes
[0095] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device displays the received route information in a map application and notifies the user. The map display uses the Google (registered trademark) Maps API. Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the data, calculates a new route as necessary, and sends it to the device.
[0096] Specific examples
[0097] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. Based on this data, the server builds a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. It then predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast and calculates the optimal route for the user to evacuate. The calculated route is sent to the device, and the user is prompted to "Evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor weather and fire data and calculates new routes as needed.
[0098] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0099] "A fire has broken out near Tokyo Station. If the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, please predict the spread of the fire and the optimal evacuation route."
[0100] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0101] Step 1: Get the data
[0102] The server obtains weather and fire data through the APIs of the meteorological and fire departments. Specifically, it sends an HTTP request and receives data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, coordinates of the fire's location, and the scale of the fire. The data input is the response data from the API, and the output is the storage of the various collected data in a database.
[0103] Step 2: Preprocessing the data
[0104] The server preprocesses the collected weather data. The input is the raw data collected in step 1, and the output is weather data after normalization and missing value imputation. This includes unifying the data format, imputing missing values, and detecting and processing outliers. Specifically, it references historical data and executes an algorithm to impute missing data.
[0105] Step 3: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0106] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the preprocessed weather data. The input is normalized weather data, and the output is a trained wind direction prediction model. The regression model is trained using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Specifically, weather data from each past month is input into the model training, and the accuracy of the model is also evaluated.
[0107] Step 4: Predict wind direction
[0108] The server inputs current weather data using the constructed forecast model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction. Specifically, the latest data is input into the model and the wind direction forecast result is obtained.
[0109] Step 5: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0110] The server simulates the spread of a fire based on predicted wind direction and fire data. The input is the predicted wind direction and initial fire data, and the output is the extent of the fire spread. Specifically, it applies a fire spread algorithm using a simulation grid.
[0111] Step 6: Calculate evacuation routes
[0112] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. The input is the extent of the fire spread and the user's current location data, and the output is the calculated evacuation route. For example, the server uses the A algorithm to search for an evacuation route and reflects the fire spread information in the route.
[0113] Step 7: Notify evacuation routes
[0114] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The input is the evacuation route data calculated in step 6, and the output is the route information displayed on the device. Specifically, the server sends the route data to the device in JSON format, and the device visualizes the route on a map using the Google Maps API.
[0115] Step 8: Real-time data updates and route recalculation
[0116] The server continuously monitors updates to weather and fire data and recalculates evacuation routes as needed. The input is newly acquired weather and fire data, and the output is updated evacuation routes. Specifically, the model is reevaluated each time new data is acquired, and route recalculation and notification are automatically performed.
[0117] (Application example 1)
[0118] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. 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."
[0119] Conventional fire evacuation systems can predict wind direction and the spread of fires based on meteorological and fire data, but they lack the ability to update data in real time or recalculate evacuation routes, making them insufficient for ensuring user safety. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for visualizing evacuation routes and fire spread predictions on users' devices and providing appropriate evacuation instructions. Therefore, a system is needed that can efficiently predict the direction and extent of fire spread under specific weather conditions and provide quick and appropriate evacuation routes.
[0120] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0121] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, means for updating the weather data and fire data in real time to recalculate the evacuation route, and means for notifying the user of the latest evacuation route. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately recalculate an evacuation route based on the weather data and fire data updated in real time, and to provide the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[0122] "Weather data" is information about weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0123] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions based on collected weather data.
[0124] "Fire data" refers to information about a fire, including the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[0125] "Fire spread prediction" is a process that uses a wind direction prediction model to predict in which direction and how far a fire will spread.
[0126] An "escape route" is the optimal route for a user to safely evacuate from a fire.
[0127] A "terminal" is a device used by a user, such as a smartphone or a personal computer.
[0128] "Real-time updates" means that weather and fire data are continuously updated with the latest information, and the system processes based on that information.
[0129] The "prompt generation function" is a function that creates automatically generated sentences to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user.
[0130] This invention provides a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes.
[0131] The server collects weather data and fire data from external systems (weather data providers and fire data providers). Weather data includes information such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. Fire data includes information such as the coordinates of the fire outbreak point and the scale of the fire.
[0132] The server then builds a wind direction prediction model based on the collected weather data. This model is trained using machine learning techniques (e.g., linear regression using scikit-learn). The prediction model can predict wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[0133] Using the constructed wind direction prediction model, the server inputs fire data and the latest weather data to predict the spread of the fire. Based on this prediction information, the server calculates a route that the user can safely evacuate. The server uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site, taking the fire damage area into account as an obstacle when determining the route.
[0134] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user. In addition, the server continuously updates meteorological and fire data in real time, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and notifies the device again of the latest evacuation route. It also has a prompt generation function that provides the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[0135] Specific examples
[0136] For example, suppose a fire breaks out while the user is near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then notifies the user's device, "Please evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, calculating a new route if necessary and re-notifying the device.
[0137] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0138] "When a user is near Tokyo Station, they launch the FireSafe app. The app retrieves real-time weather and fire data, and based on that data, uses a wind direction prediction model to predict the spread of the fire. The app then calculates a safe evacuation route from the user's current location and notifies them, saying, 'Please evacuate heading west.' Once the user begins to evacuate, the app continues to monitor weather and fire data, recalculating evacuation routes as necessary and notifying the user."
[0139] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0140] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0141] Step 1: Collect weather and fire data
[0142] The server communicates with weather data providers and fire data providers to obtain real-time weather data (wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc.) and fire data (coordinates of the outbreak point, scale of the fire, etc.). This data is sent to the server using an external API.
[0143] Input: Weather and fire data provided by external systems
[0144] Output: Weather and fire data stored on a server
[0145] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0146] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it uses a machine learning library (e.g., scikit-learn) to train a regression model that predicts wind direction from inputs such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature.
[0147] Input: Captured weather data
[0148] Output: A trained wind direction prediction model
[0149] Step 3: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0150] The server uses the constructed wind direction prediction model and the latest weather and fire data to predict the spread of the fire. The weather data is input into the wind direction prediction model, and the direction and speed of the fire spread are calculated from the prediction results.
[0151] Inputs: Latest weather and fire data, wind forecast model
[0152] Output: Fire spread prediction results (direction and speed)
[0153] Step 4: Calculate evacuation routes
[0154] The server calculates a safe evacuation route based on the fire spread prediction results and the user's current location. It uses an algorithm to find the shortest route to avoid the spread of the fire and determines the route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[0155] Input: Fire spread prediction results, user's current location
[0156] Output: Safe escape route
[0157] Step 5: Notify evacuation routes
[0158] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device, which then visualizes the route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user.
[0159] Input: Calculated evacuation route
[0160] Output: Display of evacuation route on user terminal
[0161] Step 6: Real-time updates of weather and fire data
[0162] The server monitors weather and fire data in real time, periodically acquiring new data, and repeats steps 2 through 5 based on the new data, recalculating evacuation routes as needed.
[0163] Input: Real-time updated weather and fire data
[0164] Output: Updated evacuation route
[0165] Step 7: Prompt generation provides evacuation instructions
[0166] The server uses a prompt generation function to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user. The generated prompts are displayed in a user-friendly format using natural language processing (NLP) technology.
[0167] Input: Calculated evacuation routes and current fire situation
[0168] Output: Appropriate evacuation instructions (prompt) provided to the user
[0169] The above steps result in a system that can quickly and accurately calculate evacuation routes based on meteorological and fire data and notify users of these routes. This system will be a powerful support tool for ensuring user safety in the event of a fire.
[0170] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0171] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0172] Data Acquisition
[0173] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0174] Building the model
[0175] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0176] Fire spread prediction
[0177] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0178] Evacuation route calculation
[0179] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0180] Notification of evacuation routes
[0181] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0182] Emotion recognition and response
[0183] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions depending on the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner.
[0184] Specific examples
[0185] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[0186] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and even send a short message advising them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculating the evacuation route as necessary and sending the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0187] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0188] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0189] Step 1:
[0190] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0191] Step 2:
[0192] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0193] Step 3:
[0194] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0195] Step 4:
[0196] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0197] Step 5:
[0198] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0199] Step 6:
[0200] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[0201] Step 7:
[0202] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, for example, by analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions when confirming evacuation instructions on the device to determine the user's stress level and emotional state.
[0203] Step 8:
[0204] The device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions based on the user's perceived emotions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will simplify the instructions and change the color of the evacuation route display to a more visible color.
[0205] Step 9:
[0206] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[0207] Step 10:
[0208] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0209] Examples:
[0210] For example, if a fire breaks out around Tokyo Station, the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, the system will operate as follows:
[0211] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on this weather data and predicts wind direction.
[0212] The server predicts that the fire will spread to the north-northeast and calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the fire spreading.
[0213] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's terminal.
[0214] The device displays the route on a map and instructs the user to "evacuate towards the west."
[0215] The device recognizes the user's emotions and, if it determines that the stress level is high, it will provide more concise instructions and make the display more noticeable.
[0216] The user follows the instructions and begins evacuation.
[0217] The server monitors weather and fire data, recalculates evacuation routes as needed, and sends updated routes to the device.
[0218] The device will notify the user of the updated route, allowing them to continue their evacuation safely.
[0219] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0220] Example 2
[0221] 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."
[0222] Accurate wind direction and fire spread forecasts are essential for swift and safe evacuation in the event of a fire. However, current systems have difficulty in doing this in real time, and evacuation routes are not optimized sufficiently. Furthermore, they do not provide flexible evacuation instructions that take into account the user's emotional state. This can lead to stress and confusion, making it difficult for users to take appropriate evacuation actions.
[0223] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotions and adjusting the content and display method of evacuation instructions. This enables quick and safe evacuation that takes the user's emotional state into consideration, and always provides an optimal evacuation route based on the latest information.
[0224] "Weather data" refers to information about weather conditions, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0225] A "wind direction prediction model" refers to a mathematical or machine learning model that uses input meteorological data such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature to predict wind direction.
[0226] "Fire data" refers to information about fires, such as the coordinates of the fire's location, the scale of the fire, and the progress of the fire.
[0227] "Methods for predicting fire spread" refers to algorithms and methods that use wind direction prediction models to calculate how far and in what direction a fire will spread.
[0228] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to an algorithm for calculating the spread of fire and the optimal route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[0229] "Means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal" refers to a communication means for transmitting information about the evacuation route from the server to the user's terminal.
[0230] "Means for recognizing user emotions" refers to sensors, software, and algorithms for detecting a user's emotional state.
[0231] "Means for adjusting the content and display of evacuation instructions" refers to algorithms and methods for changing and adjusting the evacuation route and message display depending on the recognized emotional state of the user.
[0232] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Each process in this system is explained in detail below.
[0233] Data Acquisition
[0234] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. This allows you to always have the latest weather conditions in real time. It also obtains fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale. Specifically, this data is obtained using an API.
[0235] Building the model
[0236] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, the model is trained using the Python library Scikit-learn. This wind direction prediction model is then used to predict wind direction based on newly acquired weather data.
[0237] Fire spread prediction
[0238] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. This makes it possible to determine the direction and extent of the fire's progress.
[0239] Evacuation route calculation
[0240] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses a path-finding algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm. The important thing here is to set the fire damage area as an obstacle and calculate a route that avoids it. For example, the route calculation is performed using the open-source library NetworkX.
[0241] Notification of evacuation routes
[0242] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device of this list. This notification is usually done via the Internet.
[0243] Emotion recognition and response
[0244] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it can use a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. Depending on the recognized emotion, the device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display messages such as "Please remain calm and act calmly."
[0245] Specific examples
[0246] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[0247] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and advise them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0248] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0249] "Given weather data and fire data for the area around Tokyo Station, with a wind speed of 10 m / s, a wind direction of north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and a temperature of 20 degrees, calculate the optimal evacuation route. Please also take into account the user's emotional state."
[0250] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0251] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0252] Step 1: Get the data
[0253] The server communicates with external systems such as the meteorological bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. The collected data is obtained through API requests. For example, the JSON data obtained as a response from the API is parsed to extract the necessary weather data. Fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale is also obtained in a similar manner. The input is the API endpoint, and the output is data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, fire coordinates, and fire scale.
[0254] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0255] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model that uses the collected wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, it uses Python's Scikit-learn library to create a linear regression model and fit it with the training data. The input is weather data (wind speed, humidity, temperature), and the output is a wind direction prediction model.
[0256] Step 3: Predict wind direction
[0257] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. It uses a trained linear regression model to input the latest wind speed, humidity, and temperature data to predict wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s, humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, these values are input into the model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction.
[0258] Step 4: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0259] The server calculates how far and in what direction the fire will spread based on the predicted wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and the wind is blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. An algorithm is implemented to calculate the distance the fire will spread based on the wind speed. The input is the predicted wind direction and wind speed, and the output is the direction and distance the fire will spread.
[0260] Step 5: Calculate evacuation routes
[0261] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses Dijkstra's algorithm. The fire damage area is set as an obstacle, and the route is calculated to avoid it. For example, an algorithm is run to find the shortest route using information on the user's current location and evacuation location. The input is information on the spread of the fire and the coordinates of the user's current location and evacuation location, and the output is the calculated evacuation route.
[0262] Step 6: Notify evacuation routes
[0263] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device. The data is converted to JSON format and sent via the Internet. The input is the calculated evacuation route information, and the output is the evacuation route sent to the user's device.
[0264] Step 7: Emotion recognition and response
[0265] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. The device adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions according to the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display a message such as "Please remain calm." The input is the user's facial expressions and voice information, and the output is the display of adjusted evacuation instructions.

[0267] 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."
[0268] In the event of a fire, quick and safe evacuation is required, but conventional systems have difficulty predicting the spread of fire or calculating evacuation routes in real time, and they have also been unable to provide appropriate evacuation guidance that takes into account the user's emotional state. As a result, there have been issues with reducing user stress during evacuation and providing reliable evacuation guidance.
[0269] 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.

This makes it possible to predict the spread of a fire and provide an optimal evacuation route in real time when a fire occurs, and further makes it possible to provide appropriate evacuation guidance based on the user's emotional state.

[0282] Building the model
[0283] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the acquired weather data. Specifically, it uses a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model predicts wind direction based on weather conditions and estimates the direction of fire spread.
[0284] Fire spread prediction
[0285] The server inputs the latest weather data into the wind direction prediction model it has built to predict the current wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, it predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast.
[0286] Evacuation route calculation
[0287] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted direction of fire spread. It uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to derive the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. It treats the predicted fire spread as an obstacle and optimizes the route to avoid it.
[0288] Notification of evacuation routes
[0289] The calculated evacuation route is sent from the server to the user's device. Specifically, a list of the evacuation route coordinates is generated and notified to the device.
[0290] Emotion recognition and response
[0291] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to determine their stress level. Based on the recognized emotion, it adjusts the content and display method of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is in a state of high stress, it will make the evacuation route display simpler and easier to understand.
[0292] Specific examples
[0293] For example, suppose a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. As the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast, the server calculates an evacuation route based on this information and sends it to the user's device. If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will simplify the display of the evacuation route and display a message such as "Please remain calm and act accordingly."
[0294] Prompt Sentence Examples

[0321] Output: Evacuation route notification to user terminal
[0322] Step 7:
[0323] The device recognizes the user's emotions by analyzing the user's facial expressions and voice using the smartphone's camera and microphone, and then uses an emotion engine to determine the user's stress level.
[0324] Input: Camera input, microphone input

[0350] This invention relates to a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0351] Data Acquisition
[0352] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to collect weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0353] Building the model
[0354] The server uses the acquired weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a regression model that uses the collected weather data as input data and wind direction as output data. This makes it possible to predict which direction the wind will blow under specific weather conditions.
[0355] Fire spread prediction
[0356] The server uses the wind direction prediction model it has created to predict the spread of the fire. It predicts wind direction using meteorological data as input, and then calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread based on that information. This prediction is made in real time, responding to the ever-changing situation of the fire.
[0357] Evacuation route calculation
[0358] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. This calculation uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. The calculation takes into account the extent of the fire damage as an obstacle and determines the route to avoid it.
[0359] Notification of evacuation routes
[0360] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides the user with accurate evacuation instructions. Even after the user begins evacuation, the server recalculates the route in real time based on the latest weather and fire data, and re-notifies the device of the evacuation route as necessary.
[0361] Specific examples
[0362] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. To help the user evacuate safely, the server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire and sends that route to the user's device. The device displays the route on a map and advises the user to "evacuate toward the west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, and calculates a new route if necessary and sends it to the device.
[0363] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0364] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0365] Step 1:
[0366] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0367] Step 2:
[0368] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0369] Step 3:
[0370] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0371] Step 4:
[0372] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0373] Step 5:
[0374] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0375] Step 6:
[0376] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[0377] Step 7:
[0378] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[0379] Step 8:
[0380] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, helping them to follow the new instructions and continue evacuating safely.
[0381] The above is the flow of specific processing steps of the system based on the present invention. This process can support quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0382] Example 1
[0383] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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."
[0384] In recent years, there has been a growing demand for rapid and efficient evacuation in urban areas in the event of a fire. However, a system that predicts the spread of a fire and provides optimal evacuation routes based on that information has not yet been fully established. In particular, systems that integrate meteorological and fire data and have the ability to recalculate and update evacuation routes in real time are rare. As a result, many victims are unable to evacuate quickly and effectively, making it difficult to avoid serious damage. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables rapid and effective evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0385] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0386] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for preprocessing the collected weather data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for simulating the extent of fire spread based on the weather data and the wind direction prediction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the predicted spread of the fire, and means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal. This makes it possible to construct a wind direction prediction model based on weather data and fire data at the time of a fire outbreak, simulate the spread of a fire using the prediction results, and calculate and notify evacuation routes in real time.
[0387] "Weather data" refers to information related to weather, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0388] "Means for collection" is a general term for hardware and software for obtaining necessary data from external systems.
[0389] "Means for constructing a model" refers to the algorithms and software used to generate predictive models based on acquired data.
[0390] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[0391] "Fire data" is information related to a fire, such as the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[0392] "Preprocessing" is the process of normalizing data and filling in missing values in order to build a model.
[0393] "Means for simulating" refers to software or algorithms that virtually reproduce phenomena using predictive models and derive results.
[0394] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to algorithms or methodologies for finding optimal evacuation routes.
[0395] A "terminal" is an electronic device that a user uses to receive information.
[0396] "Means for notifying" refers to the process or tool for transmitting calculated information to a user terminal.
[0397] This invention relates to a system that uses weather data and fire data in an integrated manner to predict the spread of a fire, calculate the optimal evacuation route, and notify the user. This system is composed of several main elements, each of which works together to realize the invention.
[0398] Data Acquisition
[0399] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments via APIs to collect the necessary weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature, etc., and uses the OpenWeatherMap API, for example. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale, and uses a dedicated API provided by the local fire department.
[0400] Data Preprocessing
[0401] The server preprocesses the collected weather data, which includes normalizing the data and filling in missing values. Preprocessing improves the quality of the data and increases the accuracy of the model.
[0402] Building a wind direction prediction model
[0403] The server builds a wind direction prediction model using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. It trains a regression model that uses collected weather data as input and wind direction as output. This model is retrained overnight as a batch process.
[0404] Fire spread prediction
[0405] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict wind direction. Based on this, it simulates the spread of the fire in real time. By combining the predicted wind direction with fire data, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread.
[0406] Evacuation route calculation
[0407] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. For example, it uses the A algorithm to search for the shortest route that avoids obstacles. It obtains the user's current location information and calculates the route to a safe evacuation location.
[0408] Notification of evacuation routes
[0409] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device displays the received route information in a map application and notifies the user. The map display uses the Google Maps API. Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the data, calculates a new route as needed, and sends it to the device.
[0410] Specific examples
[0411] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. Based on this data, the server builds a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. It then predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast and calculates the optimal route for the user to evacuate. The calculated route is sent to the device, and the user is prompted to "Evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor weather and fire data and calculates new routes as needed.
[0412] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0413] "A fire has broken out near Tokyo Station. If the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, please predict the spread of the fire and the optimal evacuation route."
[0414] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0415] Step 1: Get the data
[0416] The server obtains weather and fire data through the APIs of the meteorological and fire departments. Specifically, it sends an HTTP request and receives data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, coordinates of the fire's location, and the scale of the fire. The data input is the response data from the API, and the output is the storage of the various collected data in a database.
[0417] Step 2: Preprocessing the data
[0418] The server preprocesses the collected weather data. The input is the raw data collected in step 1, and the output is weather data after normalization and missing value imputation. This includes unifying the data format, imputing missing values, and detecting and processing outliers. Specifically, it references historical data and executes an algorithm to impute missing data.
[0419] Step 3: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0420] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the preprocessed weather data. The input is normalized weather data, and the output is a trained wind direction prediction model. The regression model is trained using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Specifically, weather data from each past month is input into the model training, and the accuracy of the model is also evaluated.
[0421] Step 4: Predict wind direction
[0422] The server inputs current weather data using the constructed forecast model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction. Specifically, the latest data is input into the model and the wind direction forecast result is obtained.
[0423] Step 5: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0424] The server simulates the spread of a fire based on predicted wind direction and fire data. The input is the predicted wind direction and initial fire data, and the output is the extent of the fire spread. Specifically, it applies a fire spread algorithm using a simulation grid.
[0425] Step 6: Calculate evacuation routes
[0426] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. The input is the extent of the fire spread and the user's current location data, and the output is the calculated evacuation route. For example, the server uses the A algorithm to search for an evacuation route and reflects the fire spread information in the route.
[0427] Step 7: Notify evacuation routes
[0428] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The input is the evacuation route data calculated in step 6, and the output is the route information displayed on the device. Specifically, the server sends the route data to the device in JSON format, and the device visualizes the route on a map using the Google Maps API.
[0429] Step 8: Real-time data updates and route recalculation
[0430] The server continuously monitors updates to weather and fire data and recalculates evacuation routes as needed. The input is newly acquired weather and fire data, and the output is updated evacuation routes. Specifically, the model is reevaluated each time new data is acquired, and route recalculation and notification are automatically performed.
[0431] (Application example 1)
[0432] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. 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."
[0433] Conventional fire evacuation systems can predict wind direction and the spread of fires based on meteorological and fire data, but they lack the ability to update data in real time or recalculate evacuation routes, making them insufficient for ensuring user safety. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for visualizing evacuation routes and fire spread predictions on users' devices and providing appropriate evacuation instructions. Therefore, a system is needed that can efficiently predict the direction and extent of fire spread under specific weather conditions and provide quick and appropriate evacuation routes.
[0434] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0435] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, means for updating the weather data and fire data in real time to recalculate the evacuation route, and means for notifying the user of the latest evacuation route. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately recalculate an evacuation route based on the weather data and fire data updated in real time, and to provide the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[0436] "Weather data" is information about weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0437] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions based on collected weather data.
[0438] "Fire data" refers to information about a fire, including the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[0439] "Fire spread prediction" is a process that uses a wind direction prediction model to predict in which direction and how far a fire will spread.
[0440] An "escape route" is the optimal route for a user to safely evacuate from a fire.
[0441] A "terminal" is a device used by a user, such as a smartphone or a personal computer.
[0442] "Real-time updates" means that weather and fire data are continuously updated with the latest information, and the system processes based on that information.
[0443] The "prompt generation function" is a function that creates automatically generated sentences to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user.
[0444] This invention provides a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes.
[0445] The server collects weather data and fire data from external systems (weather data providers and fire data providers). Weather data includes information such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. Fire data includes information such as the coordinates of the fire outbreak point and the scale of the fire.
[0446] The server then builds a wind direction prediction model based on the collected weather data. This model is trained using machine learning techniques (e.g., linear regression using scikit-learn). The prediction model can predict wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[0447] Using the constructed wind direction prediction model, the server inputs fire data and the latest weather data to predict the spread of the fire. Based on this prediction information, the server calculates a route that the user can safely evacuate. The server uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site, taking the fire damage area into account as an obstacle when determining the route.
[0448] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user. In addition, the server continuously updates meteorological and fire data in real time, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and notifies the device again of the latest evacuation route. It also has a prompt generation function that provides the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[0449] Specific examples
[0450] For example, suppose a fire breaks out while the user is near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then notifies the user's device, "Please evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, calculating a new route if necessary and re-notifying the device.
[0451] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0452] "When a user is near Tokyo Station, they launch the FireSafe app. The app retrieves real-time weather and fire data, and based on that data, uses a wind direction prediction model to predict the spread of the fire. The app then calculates a safe evacuation route from the user's current location and notifies them, saying, 'Please evacuate heading west.' Once the user begins to evacuate, the app continues to monitor weather and fire data, recalculating evacuation routes as necessary and notifying the user."
[0453] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0454] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0455] Step 1: Collect weather and fire data
[0456] The server communicates with weather data providers and fire data providers to obtain real-time weather data (wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc.) and fire data (coordinates of the outbreak point, scale of the fire, etc.). This data is sent to the server using an external API.
[0457] Input: Weather and fire data provided by external systems
[0458] Output: Weather and fire data stored on a server
[0459] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0460] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it uses a machine learning library (e.g., scikit-learn) to train a regression model that predicts wind direction from inputs such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature.
[0461] Input: Captured weather data
[0462] Output: A trained wind direction prediction model
[0463] Step 3: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0464] The server uses the constructed wind direction prediction model and the latest weather and fire data to predict the spread of the fire. The weather data is input into the wind direction prediction model, and the direction and speed of the fire spread are calculated from the prediction results.
[0465] Inputs: Latest weather and fire data, wind forecast model
[0466] Output: Fire spread prediction results (direction and speed)
[0467] Step 4: Calculate evacuation routes
[0468] The server calculates a safe evacuation route based on the fire spread prediction results and the user's current location. It uses an algorithm to find the shortest route to avoid the spread of the fire and determines the route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[0469] Input: Fire spread prediction results, user's current location
[0470] Output: Safe escape route
[0471] Step 5: Notify evacuation routes
[0472] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device, which then visualizes the route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user.
[0473] Input: Calculated evacuation route
[0474] Output: Display of evacuation route on user terminal
[0475] Step 6: Real-time updates of weather and fire data
[0476] The server monitors weather and fire data in real time, periodically acquiring new data, and repeats steps 2 through 5 based on the new data, recalculating evacuation routes as needed.
[0477] Input: Real-time updated weather and fire data
[0478] Output: Updated evacuation route
[0479] Step 7: Prompt generation provides evacuation instructions
[0480] The server uses a prompt generation function to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user. The generated prompts are displayed in a user-friendly format using natural language processing (NLP) technology.
[0481] Input: Calculated evacuation routes and current fire situation
[0482] Output: Appropriate evacuation instructions (prompt) provided to the user
[0483] The above steps result in a system that can quickly and accurately calculate evacuation routes based on meteorological and fire data and notify users of these routes. This system will be a powerful support tool for ensuring user safety in the event of a fire.
[0484] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0485] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0486] Data Acquisition
[0487] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0488] Building the model
[0489] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0490] Fire spread prediction
[0491] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0492] Evacuation route calculation
[0493] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0494] Notification of evacuation routes
[0495] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0496] Emotion recognition and response
[0497] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions depending on the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner.
[0498] Specific examples
[0499] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[0500] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and even send a short message advising them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculating the evacuation route as necessary and sending the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0501] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0502] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0503] Step 1:
[0504] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0505] Step 2:
[0506] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0507] Step 3:
[0508] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0509] Step 4:
[0510] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0511] Step 5:
[0512] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0513] Step 6:
[0514] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[0515] Step 7:
[0516] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, for example, by analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions when confirming evacuation instructions on the device to determine the user's stress level and emotional state.
[0517] Step 8:
[0518] The device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions based on the user's perceived emotions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will simplify the instructions and change the color of the evacuation route display to a more visible color.
[0519] Step 9:
[0520] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[0521] Step 10:
[0522] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0523] Examples:
[0524] For example, if a fire breaks out around Tokyo Station, the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, the system will operate as follows:
[0525] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on this weather data and predicts wind direction.
[0526] The server predicts that the fire will spread to the north-northeast and calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the fire spreading.
[0527] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's terminal.
[0528] The device displays the route on a map and instructs the user to "evacuate towards the west."
[0529] The device recognizes the user's emotions and, if it determines that the stress level is high, it will provide more concise instructions and make the display more noticeable.
[0530] The user follows the instructions and begins evacuation.
[0531] The server monitors weather and fire data, recalculates evacuation routes as needed, and sends updated routes to the device.
[0532] The device will notify the user of the updated route, allowing them to continue their evacuation safely.
[0533] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0534] Example 2
[0535] 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."
[0536] Accurate wind direction and fire spread forecasts are essential for swift and safe evacuation in the event of a fire. However, current systems have difficulty in doing this in real time, and evacuation routes are not optimized sufficiently. Furthermore, they do not provide flexible evacuation instructions that take into account the user's emotional state. This can lead to stress and confusion, making it difficult for users to take appropriate evacuation actions.
[0537] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotions and adjusting the content and display method of evacuation instructions. This enables quick and safe evacuation that takes the user's emotional state into consideration, and always provides an optimal evacuation route based on the latest information.
[0538] "Weather data" refers to information about weather conditions, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0539] A "wind direction prediction model" refers to a mathematical or machine learning model that uses input meteorological data such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature to predict wind direction.
[0540] "Fire data" refers to information about fires, such as the coordinates of the fire's location, the scale of the fire, and the progress of the fire.
[0541] "Methods for predicting fire spread" refers to algorithms and methods that use wind direction prediction models to calculate how far and in what direction a fire will spread.
[0542] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to an algorithm for calculating the spread of fire and the optimal route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[0543] "Means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal" refers to a communication means for transmitting information about the evacuation route from the server to the user's terminal.
[0544] "Means for recognizing user emotions" refers to sensors, software, and algorithms for detecting a user's emotional state.
[0545] "Means for adjusting the content and display of evacuation instructions" refers to algorithms and methods for changing and adjusting the evacuation route and message display depending on the recognized emotional state of the user.
[0546] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Each process in this system is explained in detail below.
[0547] Data Acquisition
[0548] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. This allows you to always have the latest weather conditions in real time. It also obtains fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale. Specifically, this data is obtained using an API.
[0549] Building the model
[0550] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, the model is trained using the Python library Scikit-learn. This wind direction prediction model is then used to predict wind direction based on newly acquired weather data.
[0551] Fire spread prediction
[0552] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. This makes it possible to determine the direction and extent of the fire's progress.
[0553] Evacuation route calculation
[0554] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses a path-finding algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm. The important thing here is to set the fire damage area as an obstacle and calculate a route that avoids it. For example, the route calculation is performed using the open-source library NetworkX.
[0555] Notification of evacuation routes
[0556] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device of this list. This notification is usually done via the Internet.
[0557] Emotion recognition and response
[0558] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it can use a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. Depending on the recognized emotion, the device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display messages such as "Please remain calm and act calmly."
[0559] Specific examples
[0560] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[0561] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and advise them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0562] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0563] "Given weather data and fire data for the area around Tokyo Station, with a wind speed of 10 m / s, a wind direction of north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and a temperature of 20 degrees, calculate the optimal evacuation route. Please also take into account the user's emotional state."
[0564] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0565] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0566] Step 1: Get the data
[0567] The server communicates with external systems such as the meteorological bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. The collected data is obtained through API requests. For example, the JSON data obtained as a response from the API is parsed to extract the necessary weather data. Fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale is also obtained in a similar manner. The input is the API endpoint, and the output is data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, fire coordinates, and fire scale.
[0568] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0569] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model that uses the collected wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, it uses Python's Scikit-learn library to create a linear regression model and fit it with the training data. The input is weather data (wind speed, humidity, temperature), and the output is a wind direction prediction model.
[0570] Step 3: Predict wind direction
[0571] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. It uses a trained linear regression model to input the latest wind speed, humidity, and temperature data to predict wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s, humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, these values are input into the model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction.
[0572] Step 4: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0573] The server calculates how far and in what direction the fire will spread based on the predicted wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and the wind is blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. An algorithm is implemented to calculate the distance the fire will spread based on the wind speed. The input is the predicted wind direction and wind speed, and the output is the direction and distance the fire will spread.
[0574] Step 5: Calculate evacuation routes
[0575] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses Dijkstra's algorithm. The fire damage area is set as an obstacle, and the route is calculated to avoid it. For example, an algorithm is run to find the shortest route using information on the user's current location and evacuation location. The input is information on the spread of the fire and the coordinates of the user's current location and evacuation location, and the output is the calculated evacuation route.
[0576] Step 6: Notify evacuation routes
[0577] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device. The data is converted to JSON format and sent via the Internet. The input is the calculated evacuation route information, and the output is the evacuation route sent to the user's device.
[0578] Step 7: Emotion recognition and response
[0579] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. The device adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions according to the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display a message such as "Please remain calm." The input is the user's facial expressions and voice information, and the output is the display of adjusted evacuation instructions.

[0581] 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."
[0582] In the event of a fire, quick and safe evacuation is required, but conventional systems have difficulty predicting the spread of fire or calculating evacuation routes in real time, and they have also been unable to provide appropriate evacuation guidance that takes into account the user's emotional state. As a result, there have been issues with reducing user stress during evacuation and providing reliable evacuation guidance.
[0583] 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.

This makes it possible to predict the spread of a fire and provide an optimal evacuation route in real time when a fire occurs, and further makes it possible to provide appropriate evacuation guidance based on the user's emotional state.

[0595] To collect weather data, the server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to obtain data on wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. It also collects fire data such as the coordinates of fire locations and information on the scale of fires.
[0596] Building the model
[0597] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the acquired weather data. Specifically, it uses a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model predicts wind direction based on weather conditions and estimates the direction of fire spread.
[0598] Fire spread prediction
[0599] The server inputs the latest weather data into the wind direction prediction model it has built to predict the current wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, it predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast.
[0600] Evacuation route calculation
[0601] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted direction of fire spread. It uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to derive the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site.

[0602] Notification of evacuation routes
[0603] The calculated evacuation route is sent from the server to the user's device. Specifically, a list of the evacuation route coordinates is generated and notified to the device.
[0604] Emotion recognition and response
[0605] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to determine their stress level. Based on the recognized emotion, it adjusts the content and display method of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is in a state of high stress, it will make the evacuation route display simpler and easier to understand.
[0606] Specific examples
[0607] For example, suppose a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. As the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast, the server calculates an evacuation route based on this information and sends it to the user's device. If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will simplify the display of the evacuation route and display a message such as "Please remain calm and act accordingly."
[0608] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0609] "Your current location is 35.6895, 139.6917. Please calculate an evacuation route based on the latest wind speed of 10 m / s, wind direction north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and temperature of 20 degrees."
[0610] This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.

[0664] This invention relates to a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0665] Data Acquisition
[0666] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to collect weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0667] Building the model
[0668] The server uses the acquired weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a regression model that uses the collected weather data as input data and wind direction as output data. This makes it possible to predict which direction the wind will blow under specific weather conditions.
[0669] Fire spread prediction
[0670] The server uses the wind direction prediction model it has created to predict the spread of the fire. It predicts wind direction using meteorological data as input, and then calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread based on that information. This prediction is made in real time, responding to the ever-changing situation of the fire.
[0671] Evacuation route calculation
[0672] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. This calculation uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. The calculation takes into account the extent of the fire damage as an obstacle and determines the route to avoid it.
[0673] Notification of evacuation routes
[0674] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides the user with accurate evacuation instructions. Even after the user begins evacuation, the server recalculates the route in real time based on the latest weather and fire data, and re-notifies the device of the evacuation route as necessary.
[0675] Specific examples
[0676] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. To help the user evacuate safely, the server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire and sends that route to the user's device. The device displays the route on a map and advises the user to "evacuate toward the west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, and calculates a new route if necessary and sends it to the device.
[0677] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0678] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0679] Step 1:
[0680] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0681] Step 2:
[0682] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0683] Step 3:
[0684] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0685] Step 4:
[0686] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0687] Step 5:
[0688] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0689] Step 6:
[0690] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[0691] Step 7:
[0692] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[0693] Step 8:
[0694] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, helping them to follow the new instructions and continue evacuating safely.
[0695] The above is the flow of specific processing steps of the system based on the present invention. This process can support quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0696] Example 1
[0697] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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."
[0698] In recent years, there has been a growing demand for rapid and efficient evacuation in urban areas in the event of a fire. However, a system that predicts the spread of a fire and provides optimal evacuation routes based on that information has not yet been fully established. In particular, systems that integrate meteorological and fire data and have the ability to recalculate and update evacuation routes in real time are rare. As a result, many victims are unable to evacuate quickly and effectively, making it difficult to avoid serious damage. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables rapid and effective evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0699] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0700] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for preprocessing the collected weather data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for simulating the extent of fire spread based on the weather data and the wind direction prediction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the predicted spread of the fire, and means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal. This makes it possible to construct a wind direction prediction model based on weather data and fire data at the time of a fire outbreak, simulate the spread of a fire using the prediction results, and calculate and notify evacuation routes in real time.
[0701] "Weather data" refers to information related to weather, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0702] "Means for collection" is a general term for hardware and software for obtaining necessary data from external systems.
[0703] "Means for constructing a model" refers to the algorithms and software used to generate predictive models based on acquired data.
[0704] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[0705] "Fire data" is information related to a fire, such as the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[0706] "Preprocessing" is the process of normalizing data and filling in missing values in order to build a model.
[0707] "Means for simulating" refers to software or algorithms that virtually reproduce phenomena using predictive models and derive results.
[0708] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to algorithms or methodologies for finding optimal evacuation routes.
[0709] A "terminal" is an electronic device that a user uses to receive information.
[0710] "Means for notifying" refers to the process or tool for transmitting calculated information to a user terminal.
[0711] This invention relates to a system that uses weather data and fire data in an integrated manner to predict the spread of a fire, calculate the optimal evacuation route, and notify the user. This system is composed of several main elements, each of which works together to realize the invention.
[0712] Data Acquisition
[0713] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments via APIs to collect the necessary weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature, etc., and uses the OpenWeatherMap API, for example. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale, and uses a dedicated API provided by the local fire department.
[0714] Data Preprocessing
[0715] The server preprocesses the collected weather data, which includes normalizing the data and filling in missing values. Preprocessing improves the quality of the data and increases the accuracy of the model.
[0716] Building a wind direction prediction model
[0717] The server builds a wind direction prediction model using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. It trains a regression model that uses collected weather data as input and wind direction as output. This model is retrained overnight as a batch process.
[0718] Fire spread prediction
[0719] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict wind direction. Based on this, it simulates the spread of the fire in real time. By combining the predicted wind direction with fire data, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread.
[0720] Evacuation route calculation
[0721] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. For example, it uses the A algorithm to search for the shortest route that avoids obstacles. It obtains the user's current location information and calculates the route to a safe evacuation location.
[0722] Notification of evacuation routes
[0723] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device displays the received route information in a map application and notifies the user. The map display uses the Google Maps API. Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the data, calculates a new route as needed, and sends it to the device.
[0724] Specific examples
[0725] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. Based on this data, the server builds a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. It then predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast and calculates the optimal route for the user to evacuate. The calculated route is sent to the device, and the user is prompted to "Evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor weather and fire data and calculates new routes as needed.
[0726] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0727] "A fire has broken out near Tokyo Station. If the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, please predict the spread of the fire and the optimal evacuation route."
[0728] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0729] Step 1: Get the data
[0730] The server obtains weather and fire data through the APIs of the meteorological and fire departments. Specifically, it sends an HTTP request and receives data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, coordinates of the fire's location, and the scale of the fire. The data input is the response data from the API, and the output is the storage of the various collected data in a database.
[0731] Step 2: Preprocessing the data
[0732] The server preprocesses the collected weather data. The input is the raw data collected in step 1, and the output is weather data after normalization and missing value imputation. This includes unifying the data format, imputing missing values, and detecting and processing outliers. Specifically, it references historical data and executes an algorithm to impute missing data.
[0733] Step 3: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0734] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the preprocessed weather data. The input is normalized weather data, and the output is a trained wind direction prediction model. The regression model is trained using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Specifically, weather data from each past month is input into the model training, and the accuracy of the model is also evaluated.
[0735] Step 4: Predict wind direction
[0736] The server inputs current weather data using the constructed forecast model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction. Specifically, the latest data is input into the model and the wind direction forecast result is obtained.
[0737] Step 5: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0738] The server simulates the spread of a fire based on predicted wind direction and fire data. The input is the predicted wind direction and initial fire data, and the output is the extent of the fire spread. Specifically, it applies a fire spread algorithm using a simulation grid.
[0739] Step 6: Calculate evacuation routes
[0740] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. The input is the extent of the fire spread and the user's current location data, and the output is the calculated evacuation route. For example, the server uses the A algorithm to search for an evacuation route and reflects the fire spread information in the route.
[0741] Step 7: Notify evacuation routes
[0742] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The input is the evacuation route data calculated in step 6, and the output is the route information displayed on the device. Specifically, the server sends the route data to the device in JSON format, and the device visualizes the route on a map using the Google Maps API.
[0743] Step 8: Real-time data updates and route recalculation
[0744] The server continuously monitors updates to weather and fire data and recalculates evacuation routes as needed. The input is newly acquired weather and fire data, and the output is updated evacuation routes. Specifically, the model is reevaluated each time new data is acquired, and route recalculation and notification are automatically performed.
[0745] (Application example 1)
[0746] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. 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."
[0747] Conventional fire evacuation systems can predict wind direction and the spread of fires based on meteorological and fire data, but they lack the ability to update data in real time or recalculate evacuation routes, making them insufficient for ensuring user safety. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for visualizing evacuation routes and fire spread predictions on users' devices and providing appropriate evacuation instructions. Therefore, a system is needed that can efficiently predict the direction and extent of fire spread under specific weather conditions and provide quick and appropriate evacuation routes.
[0748] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0749] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, means for updating the weather data and fire data in real time to recalculate the evacuation route, and means for notifying the user of the latest evacuation route. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately recalculate an evacuation route based on the weather data and fire data updated in real time, and to provide the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[0750] "Weather data" is information about weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0751] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions based on collected weather data.
[0752] "Fire data" refers to information about a fire, including the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[0753] "Fire spread prediction" is a process that uses a wind direction prediction model to predict in which direction and how far a fire will spread.
[0754] An "escape route" is the optimal route for a user to safely evacuate from a fire.
[0755] A "terminal" is a device used by a user, such as a smartphone or a personal computer.
[0756] "Real-time updates" means that weather and fire data are continuously updated with the latest information, and the system processes based on that information.
[0757] The "prompt generation function" is a function that creates automatically generated sentences to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user.
[0758] This invention provides a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes.
[0759] The server collects weather data and fire data from external systems (weather data providers and fire data providers). Weather data includes information such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. Fire data includes information such as the coordinates of the fire outbreak point and the scale of the fire.
[0760] The server then builds a wind direction prediction model based on the collected weather data. This model is trained using machine learning techniques (e.g., linear regression using scikit-learn). The prediction model can predict wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[0761] Using the constructed wind direction prediction model, the server inputs fire data and the latest weather data to predict the spread of the fire. Based on this prediction information, the server calculates a route that the user can safely evacuate. The server uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site, taking the fire damage area into account as an obstacle when determining the route.
[0762] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user. In addition, the server continuously updates meteorological and fire data in real time, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and notifies the device again of the latest evacuation route. It also has a prompt generation function that provides the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[0763] Specific examples
[0764] For example, suppose a fire breaks out while the user is near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then notifies the user's device, "Please evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, calculating a new route if necessary and re-notifying the device.
[0765] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0766] "When a user is near Tokyo Station, they launch the FireSafe app. The app retrieves real-time weather and fire data, and based on that data, uses a wind direction prediction model to predict the spread of the fire. The app then calculates a safe evacuation route from the user's current location and notifies them, saying, 'Please evacuate heading west.' Once the user begins to evacuate, the app continues to monitor weather and fire data, recalculating evacuation routes as necessary and notifying the user."
[0767] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0768] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0769] Step 1: Collect weather and fire data
[0770] The server communicates with weather data providers and fire data providers to obtain real-time weather data (wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc.) and fire data (coordinates of the outbreak point, scale of the fire, etc.). This data is sent to the server using an external API.
[0771] Input: Weather and fire data provided by external systems
[0772] Output: Weather and fire data stored on a server
[0773] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0774] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it uses a machine learning library (e.g., scikit-learn) to train a regression model that predicts wind direction from inputs such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature.
[0775] Input: Captured weather data
[0776] Output: A trained wind direction prediction model
[0777] Step 3: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0778] The server uses the constructed wind direction prediction model and the latest weather and fire data to predict the spread of the fire. The weather data is input into the wind direction prediction model, and the direction and speed of the fire spread are calculated from the prediction results.
[0779] Inputs: Latest weather and fire data, wind forecast model
[0780] Output: Fire spread prediction results (direction and speed)
[0781] Step 4: Calculate evacuation routes
[0782] The server calculates a safe evacuation route based on the fire spread prediction results and the user's current location. It uses an algorithm to find the shortest route to avoid the spread of the fire and determines the route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[0783] Input: Fire spread prediction results, user's current location
[0784] Output: Safe escape route
[0785] Step 5: Notify evacuation routes
[0786] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device, which then visualizes the route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user.
[0787] Input: Calculated evacuation route
[0788] Output: Display of evacuation route on user terminal
[0789] Step 6: Real-time updates of weather and fire data
[0790] The server monitors weather and fire data in real time, periodically acquiring new data, and repeats steps 2 through 5 based on the new data, recalculating evacuation routes as needed.
[0791] Input: Real-time updated weather and fire data
[0792] Output: Updated evacuation route
[0793] Step 7: Prompt generation provides evacuation instructions
[0794] The server uses a prompt generation function to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user. The generated prompts are displayed in a user-friendly format using natural language processing (NLP) technology.
[0795] Input: Calculated evacuation routes and current fire situation
[0796] Output: Appropriate evacuation instructions (prompt) provided to the user
[0797] The above steps result in a system that can quickly and accurately calculate evacuation routes based on meteorological and fire data and notify users of these routes. This system will be a powerful support tool for ensuring user safety in the event of a fire.
[0798] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0799] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0800] Data Acquisition
[0801] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0802] Building the model
[0803] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0804] Fire spread prediction
[0805] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0806] Evacuation route calculation
[0807] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0808] Notification of evacuation routes
[0809] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0810] Emotion recognition and response
[0811] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions depending on the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner.
[0812] Specific examples
[0813] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[0814] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and even send a short message advising them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculating the evacuation route as necessary and sending the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0815] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0816] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0817] Step 1:
[0818] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0819] Step 2:
[0820] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0821] Step 3:
[0822] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[0823] Step 4:
[0824] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[0825] Step 5:
[0826] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[0827] Step 6:
[0828] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[0829] Step 7:
[0830] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, for example, by analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions when confirming evacuation instructions on the device to determine the user's stress level and emotional state.
[0831] Step 8:
[0832] The device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions based on the user's perceived emotions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will simplify the instructions and change the color of the evacuation route display to a more visible color.
[0833] Step 9:
[0834] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[0835] Step 10:
[0836] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0837] Examples:
[0838] For example, if a fire breaks out around Tokyo Station, the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, the system will operate as follows:
[0839] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on this weather data and predicts wind direction.
[0840] The server predicts that the fire will spread to the north-northeast and calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the fire spreading.
[0841] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's terminal.
[0842] The device displays the route on a map and instructs the user to "evacuate towards the west."
[0843] The device recognizes the user's emotions and, if it determines that the stress level is high, it will provide more concise instructions and make the display more noticeable.
[0844] The user follows the instructions and begins evacuation.
[0845] The server monitors weather and fire data, recalculates evacuation routes as needed, and sends updated routes to the device.
[0846] The device will notify the user of the updated route, allowing them to continue their evacuation safely.
[0847] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0848] Example 2
[0849] 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."
[0850] Accurate wind direction and fire spread forecasts are essential for swift and safe evacuation in the event of a fire. However, current systems have difficulty in doing this in real time, and evacuation routes are not optimized sufficiently. Furthermore, they do not provide flexible evacuation instructions that take into account the user's emotional state. This can lead to stress and confusion, making it difficult for users to take appropriate evacuation actions.
[0851] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotions and adjusting the content and display method of evacuation instructions. This enables quick and safe evacuation that takes the user's emotional state into consideration, and always provides an optimal evacuation route based on the latest information.
[0852] "Weather data" refers to information about weather conditions, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[0853] A "wind direction prediction model" refers to a mathematical or machine learning model that uses input meteorological data such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature to predict wind direction.
[0854] "Fire data" refers to information about fires, such as the coordinates of the fire's location, the scale of the fire, and the progress of the fire.
[0855] "Methods for predicting fire spread" refers to algorithms and methods that use wind direction prediction models to calculate how far and in what direction a fire will spread.
[0856] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to an algorithm for calculating the spread of fire and the optimal route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[0857] "Means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal" refers to a communication means for transmitting information about the evacuation route from the server to the user's terminal.

[0860] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Each process in this system is explained in detail below.
[0861] Data Acquisition
[0862] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. This allows you to always have the latest weather conditions in real time. It also obtains fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale. Specifically, this data is obtained using an API.
[0863] Building the model
[0864] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, the model is trained using the Python library Scikit-learn. This wind direction prediction model is then used to predict wind direction based on newly acquired weather data.
[0865] Fire spread prediction
[0866] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. This makes it possible to determine the direction and extent of the fire's progress.
[0867] Evacuation route calculation
[0868] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses a path-finding algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm. The important thing here is to set the fire damage area as an obstacle and calculate a route that avoids it. For example, the route calculation is performed using the open-source library NetworkX.
[0869] Notification of evacuation routes
[0870] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device of this list. This notification is usually done via the Internet.
[0871] Emotion recognition and response
[0872] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it can use a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. Depending on the recognized emotion, the device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display messages such as "Please remain calm and act calmly."
[0873] Specific examples
[0874] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[0875] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and advise them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[0876] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0877] "Given weather data and fire data for the area around Tokyo Station, with a wind speed of 10 m / s, a wind direction of north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and a temperature of 20 degrees, calculate the optimal evacuation route. Please also take into account the user's emotional state."
[0878] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[0879] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0880] Step 1: Get the data
[0881] The server communicates with external systems such as the meteorological bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. The collected data is obtained through API requests. For example, the JSON data obtained as a response from the API is parsed to extract the necessary weather data. Fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale is also obtained in a similar manner. The input is the API endpoint, and the output is data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, fire coordinates, and fire scale.
[0882] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[0883] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model that uses the collected wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, it uses Python's Scikit-learn library to create a linear regression model and fit it with the training data. The input is weather data (wind speed, humidity, temperature), and the output is a wind direction prediction model.
[0884] Step 3: Predict wind direction
[0885] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. It uses a trained linear regression model to input the latest wind speed, humidity, and temperature data to predict wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s, humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, these values are input into the model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction.
[0886] Step 4: Predicting the spread of the fire
[0887] The server calculates how far and in what direction the fire will spread based on the predicted wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and the wind is blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. An algorithm is implemented to calculate the distance the fire will spread based on the wind speed. The input is the predicted wind direction and wind speed, and the output is the direction and distance the fire will spread.
[0888] Step 5: Calculate evacuation routes
[0889] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses Dijkstra's algorithm. The fire damage area is set as an obstacle, and the route is calculated to avoid it. For example, an algorithm is run to find the shortest route using information on the user's current location and evacuation location. The input is information on the spread of the fire and the coordinates of the user's current location and evacuation location, and the output is the calculated evacuation route.
[0890] Step 6: Notify evacuation routes
[0891] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device. The data is converted to JSON format and sent via the Internet. The input is the calculated evacuation route information, and the output is the evacuation route sent to the user's device.
[0892] Step 7: Emotion recognition and response
[0893] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. The device adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions according to the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display a message such as "Please remain calm." The input is the user's facial expressions and voice information, and the output is the display of adjusted evacuation instructions.
[0894] (Application example 2)
[0895] 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."
[0896] In the event of a fire, quick and safe evacuation is required, but conventional systems have difficulty predicting the spread of fire or calculating evacuation routes in real time, and they have also been unable to provide appropriate evacuation guidance that takes into account the user's emotional state. As a result, there have been issues with reducing user stress during evacuation and providing reliable evacuation guidance.
[0897] 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.

This makes it possible to predict the spread of a fire and provide an optimal evacuation route in real time when a fire occurs, and further makes it possible to provide appropriate evacuation guidance based on the user's emotional state.

To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0908] Data Acquisition
[0909] To collect weather data, the server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to obtain data on wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. It also collects fire data such as the coordinates of fire locations and information on the scale of fires.
[0910] Building the model
[0911] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the acquired weather data. Specifically, it uses a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model predicts wind direction based on weather conditions and estimates the direction of fire spread.
[0912] Fire spread prediction
[0913] The server inputs the latest weather data into the wind direction prediction model it has built to predict the current wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, it predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast.
[0914] Evacuation route calculation
[0915] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted direction of fire spread. It uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to derive the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. It treats the predicted fire spread as an obstacle and optimizes the route to avoid it.
[0916] Notification of evacuation routes
[0917] The calculated evacuation route is sent from the server to the user's device. Specifically, a list of the evacuation route coordinates is generated and notified to the device.
[0918] Emotion recognition and response
[0919] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to determine their stress level. Based on the recognized emotion, it adjusts the content and display method of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is in a state of high stress, it will make the evacuation route display simpler and easier to understand.
[0920] Specific examples
[0921] For example, suppose a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. As the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast, the server calculates an evacuation route based on this information and sends it to the user's device. If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will simplify the display of the evacuation route and display a message such as "Please remain calm and act accordingly."
[0922] Prompt Sentence Examples
[0923] "Your current location is 35.6895, 139.6917. Please calculate an evacuation route based on the latest wind speed of 10 m / s, wind direction north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and temperature of 20 degrees."
[0924] This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.

The predicted fire spread is treated as an obstacle, and the route is optimized to avoid it.
[0944] Input: User's current location, fire spread prediction results
[0945] Output: Evacuation route
[0946] Step 6:

[0948] Input: List of evacuation route coordinates
[0949] Output: Evacuation route notification to user terminal
[0950] Step 7:

[0953] Output: User's emotional state (stress level)
[0954] Step 8:
[0955] The device adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user's stress level is high, the device will change the display of evacuation routes to a simpler and easier-to-understand format and display the necessary messages.
[0956] Input: User's emotional state, evacuation route
[0957] Output: Coordinated evacuation instructions and messages
[0958] Step 9:

[0979] This invention relates to a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[0980] Data Acquisition
[0981] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to collect weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0982] Building the model
[0983] The server uses the acquired weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a regression model that uses the collected weather data as input data and wind direction as output data. This makes it possible to predict which direction the wind will blow under specific weather conditions.
[0984] Fire spread prediction
[0985] The server uses the wind direction prediction model it has created to predict the spread of the fire. It predicts wind direction using meteorological data as input, and then calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread based on that information. This prediction is made in real time, responding to the ever-changing situation of the fire.
[0986] Evacuation route calculation
[0987] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. This calculation uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. The calculation takes into account the extent of the fire damage as an obstacle and determines the route to avoid it.
[0988] Notification of evacuation routes
[0989] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides the user with accurate evacuation instructions. Even after the user begins evacuation, the server recalculates the route in real time based on the latest weather and fire data, and re-notifies the device of the evacuation route as necessary.
[0990] Specific examples
[0991] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. To help the user evacuate safely, the server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire and sends that route to the user's device. The device displays the route on a map and advises the user to "evacuate toward the west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, and calculates a new route if necessary and sends it to the device.
[0992] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[0993] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0994] Step 1:
[0995] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[0996] Step 2:
[0997] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[0998] Step 3:
[0999] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[1000] Step 4:
[1001] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[1002] Step 5:
[1003] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[1004] Step 6:
[1005] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[1006] Step 7:
[1007] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[1008] Step 8:
[1009] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, helping them to follow the new instructions and continue evacuating safely.
[1010] The above is the flow of specific processing steps of the system based on the present invention. This process can support quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[1011] Example 1
[1012] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. 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."
[1013] In recent years, there has been a growing demand for rapid and efficient evacuation in urban areas in the event of a fire. However, a system that predicts the spread of a fire and provides optimal evacuation routes based on that information has not yet been fully established. In particular, systems that integrate meteorological and fire data and have the ability to recalculate and update evacuation routes in real time are rare. As a result, many victims are unable to evacuate quickly and effectively, making it difficult to avoid serious damage. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a system that enables rapid and effective evacuation in the event of a fire.
[1014] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1015] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for preprocessing the collected weather data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for simulating the extent of fire spread based on the weather data and the wind direction prediction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the predicted spread of the fire, and means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal. This makes it possible to construct a wind direction prediction model based on weather data and fire data at the time of a fire outbreak, simulate the spread of a fire using the prediction results, and calculate and notify evacuation routes in real time.
[1016] "Weather data" refers to information related to weather, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[1017] "Means for collection" is a general term for hardware and software for obtaining necessary data from external systems.
[1018] "Means for constructing a model" refers to the algorithms and software used to generate predictive models based on acquired data.
[1019] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[1020] "Fire data" is information related to a fire, such as the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[1021] "Preprocessing" is the process of normalizing data and filling in missing values in order to build a model.
[1022] "Means for simulating" refers to software or algorithms that virtually reproduce phenomena using predictive models and derive results.
[1023] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to algorithms or methodologies for finding optimal evacuation routes.
[1024] A "terminal" is an electronic device that a user uses to receive information.
[1025] "Means for notifying" refers to the process or tool for transmitting calculated information to a user terminal.
[1026] This invention relates to a system that uses weather data and fire data in an integrated manner to predict the spread of a fire, calculate the optimal evacuation route, and notify the user. This system is composed of several main elements, each of which works together to realize the invention.
[1027] Data Acquisition
[1028] The server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments via APIs to collect the necessary weather and fire data. Weather data includes wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature, etc., and uses the OpenWeatherMap API, for example. Fire data includes the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale, and uses a dedicated API provided by the local fire department.
[1029] Data Preprocessing
[1030] The server preprocesses the collected weather data, which includes normalizing the data and filling in missing values. Preprocessing improves the quality of the data and increases the accuracy of the model.
[1031] Building a wind direction prediction model
[1032] The server builds a wind direction prediction model using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. It trains a regression model that uses collected weather data as input and wind direction as output. This model is retrained overnight as a batch process.
[1033] Fire spread prediction
[1034] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict wind direction. Based on this, it simulates the spread of the fire in real time. By combining the predicted wind direction with fire data, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread.
[1035] Evacuation route calculation
[1036] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted spread of the fire. For example, it uses the A algorithm to search for the shortest route that avoids obstacles. It obtains the user's current location information and calculates the route to a safe evacuation location.
[1037] Notification of evacuation routes
[1038] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device displays the received route information in a map application and notifies the user. The map display uses the Google Maps API. Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the data, calculates a new route as needed, and sends it to the device.
[1039] Specific examples
[1040] For example, consider a fire occurring near Tokyo Station. The wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20°C. Based on this data, the server builds a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. It then predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast and calculates the optimal route for the user to evacuate. The calculated route is sent to the device, and the user is prompted to "Evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor weather and fire data and calculates new routes as needed.
[1041] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1042] "A fire has broken out near Tokyo Station. If the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, please predict the spread of the fire and the optimal evacuation route."
[1043] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1044] Step 1: Get the data
[1045] The server obtains weather and fire data through the APIs of the meteorological and fire departments. Specifically, it sends an HTTP request and receives data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, coordinates of the fire's location, and the scale of the fire. The data input is the response data from the API, and the output is the storage of the various collected data in a database.
[1046] Step 2: Preprocessing the data
[1047] The server preprocesses the collected weather data. The input is the raw data collected in step 1, and the output is weather data after normalization and missing value imputation. This includes unifying the data format, imputing missing values, and detecting and processing outliers. Specifically, it references historical data and executes an algorithm to impute missing data.
[1048] Step 3: Building a wind direction prediction model
[1049] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the preprocessed weather data. The input is normalized weather data, and the output is a trained wind direction prediction model. The regression model is trained using machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Specifically, weather data from each past month is input into the model training, and the accuracy of the model is also evaluated.
[1050] Step 4: Predict wind direction
[1051] The server inputs current weather data using the constructed forecast model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction. Specifically, the latest data is input into the model and the wind direction forecast result is obtained.
[1052] Step 5: Predicting the spread of the fire
[1053] The server simulates the spread of a fire based on predicted wind direction and fire data. The input is the predicted wind direction and initial fire data, and the output is the extent of the fire spread. Specifically, it applies a fire spread algorithm using a simulation grid.
[1054] Step 6: Calculate evacuation routes
[1055] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. The input is the extent of the fire spread and the user's current location data, and the output is the calculated evacuation route. For example, the server uses the A algorithm to search for an evacuation route and reflects the fire spread information in the route.
[1056] Step 7: Notify evacuation routes
[1057] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The input is the evacuation route data calculated in step 6, and the output is the route information displayed on the device. Specifically, the server sends the route data to the device in JSON format, and the device visualizes the route on a map using the Google Maps API.
[1058] Step 8: Real-time data updates and route recalculation
[1059] The server continuously monitors updates to weather and fire data and recalculates evacuation routes as needed. The input is newly acquired weather and fire data, and the output is updated evacuation routes. Specifically, the model is reevaluated each time new data is acquired, and route recalculation and notification are automatically performed.
[1060] (Application example 1)
[1061] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. 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."
[1062] Conventional fire evacuation systems can predict wind direction and the spread of fires based on meteorological and fire data, but they lack the ability to update data in real time or recalculate evacuation routes, making them insufficient for ensuring user safety. Furthermore, they lack a mechanism for visualizing evacuation routes and fire spread predictions on users' devices and providing appropriate evacuation instructions. Therefore, a system is needed that can efficiently predict the direction and extent of fire spread under specific weather conditions and provide quick and appropriate evacuation routes.
[1063] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1064] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, means for updating the weather data and fire data in real time to recalculate the evacuation route, and means for notifying the user of the latest evacuation route. This makes it possible to quickly and accurately recalculate an evacuation route based on the weather data and fire data updated in real time, and to provide the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[1065] "Weather data" is information about weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[1066] A "wind direction prediction model" is a regression model for predicting wind direction under specific weather conditions based on collected weather data.
[1067] "Fire data" refers to information about a fire, including the coordinates of the location where the fire occurred and the scale of the fire.
[1068] "Fire spread prediction" is a process that uses a wind direction prediction model to predict in which direction and how far a fire will spread.
[1069] An "escape route" is the optimal route for a user to safely evacuate from a fire.
[1070] A "terminal" is a device used by a user, such as a smartphone or a personal computer.
[1071] "Real-time updates" means that weather and fire data are continuously updated with the latest information, and the system processes based on that information.
[1072] The "prompt generation function" is a function that creates automatically generated sentences to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user.
[1073] This invention provides a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of a fire, and calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes.
[1074] The server collects weather data and fire data from external systems (weather data providers and fire data providers). Weather data includes information such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. Fire data includes information such as the coordinates of the fire outbreak point and the scale of the fire.
[1075] The server then builds a wind direction prediction model based on the collected weather data. This model is trained using machine learning techniques (e.g., linear regression using scikit-learn). The prediction model can predict wind direction under specific weather conditions.
[1076] Using the constructed wind direction prediction model, the server inputs fire data and the latest weather data to predict the spread of the fire. Based on this prediction information, the server calculates a route that the user can safely evacuate. The server uses an algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site, taking the fire damage area into account as an obstacle when determining the route.
[1077] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. The device visualizes the received evacuation route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user. In addition, the server continuously updates meteorological and fire data in real time, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and notifies the device again of the latest evacuation route. It also has a prompt generation function that provides the user with appropriate evacuation instructions.
[1078] Specific examples
[1079] For example, suppose a fire breaks out while the user is near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then notifies the user's device, "Please evacuate heading west." Once the user begins evacuation, the server continues to monitor the weather and fire data, calculating a new route if necessary and re-notifying the device.
[1080] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1081] "When a user is near Tokyo Station, they launch the FireSafe app. The app retrieves real-time weather and fire data, and based on that data, uses a wind direction prediction model to predict the spread of the fire. The app then calculates a safe evacuation route from the user's current location and notifies them, saying, 'Please evacuate heading west.' Once the user begins to evacuate, the app continues to monitor weather and fire data, recalculating evacuation routes as necessary and notifying the user."
[1082] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire.
[1083] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1084] Step 1: Collect weather and fire data
[1085] The server communicates with weather data providers and fire data providers to obtain real-time weather data (wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc.) and fire data (coordinates of the outbreak point, scale of the fire, etc.). This data is sent to the server using an external API.
[1086] Input: Weather and fire data provided by external systems
[1087] Output: Weather and fire data stored on a server
[1088] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[1089] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it uses a machine learning library (e.g., scikit-learn) to train a regression model that predicts wind direction from inputs such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature.
[1090] Input: Captured weather data
[1091] Output: A trained wind direction prediction model
[1092] Step 3: Predicting the spread of the fire
[1093] The server uses the constructed wind direction prediction model and the latest weather and fire data to predict the spread of the fire. The weather data is input into the wind direction prediction model, and the direction and speed of the fire spread are calculated from the prediction results.
[1094] Inputs: Latest weather and fire data, wind forecast model
[1095] Output: Fire spread prediction results (direction and speed)
[1096] Step 4: Calculate evacuation routes
[1097] The server calculates a safe evacuation route based on the fire spread prediction results and the user's current location. It uses an algorithm to find the shortest route to avoid the spread of the fire and determines the route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[1098] Input: Fire spread prediction results, user's current location
[1099] Output: Safe escape route
[1100] Step 5: Notify evacuation routes
[1101] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device, which then visualizes the route on a map and provides accurate evacuation instructions to the user.
[1102] Input: Calculated evacuation route
[1103] Output: Display of evacuation route on user terminal
[1104] Step 6: Real-time updates of weather and fire data
[1105] The server monitors weather and fire data in real time, periodically acquiring new data, and repeats steps 2 through 5 based on the new data, recalculating evacuation routes as needed.
[1106] Input: Real-time updated weather and fire data
[1107] Output: Updated evacuation route
[1108] Step 7: Prompt generation provides evacuation instructions
[1109] The server uses a prompt generation function to provide appropriate evacuation instructions to the user. The generated prompts are displayed in a user-friendly format using natural language processing (NLP) technology.
[1110] Input: Calculated evacuation routes and current fire situation
[1111] Output: Appropriate evacuation instructions (prompt) provided to the user
[1112] The above steps result in a system that can quickly and accurately calculate evacuation routes based on meteorological and fire data and notify users of these routes. This system will be a powerful support tool for ensuring user safety in the event of a fire.
[1113] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1114] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[1115] Data Acquisition
[1116] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[1117] Building the model
[1118] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[1119] Fire spread prediction
[1120] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[1121] Evacuation route calculation
[1122] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[1123] Notification of evacuation routes
[1124] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[1125] Emotion recognition and response
[1126] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions and adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions depending on the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner.
[1127] Specific examples
[1128] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[1129] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and even send a short message advising them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculating the evacuation route as necessary and sending the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[1130] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[1131] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1132] Step 1:
[1133] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, as well as fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale.
[1134] Step 2:
[1135] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model is used to predict wind direction based on weather conditions.
[1136] Step 3:
[1137] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast.
[1138] Step 4:
[1139] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. Based on the fire spread prediction, the fire damage area is set as an obstacle and the route is calculated to avoid it.
[1140] Step 5:
[1141] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the device of the list.
[1142] Step 6:
[1143] The device then visualizes the received evacuation route on a map, providing specific instructions such as "Follow this route to evacuate" to make it easier for users to evacuate.
[1144] Step 7:
[1145] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions, for example, by analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions when confirming evacuation instructions on the device to determine the user's stress level and emotional state.
[1146] Step 8:
[1147] The device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions based on the user's perceived emotions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will simplify the instructions and change the color of the evacuation route display to a more visible color.
[1148] Step 9:
[1149] The user begins to move to a safe evacuation location by following the evacuation route displayed on the device. Even during the evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device.
[1150] Step 10:
[1151] The device will notify the user of updated evacuation routes in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[1152] Examples:
[1153] For example, if a fire breaks out around Tokyo Station, the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, the system will operate as follows:
[1154] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on this weather data and predicts wind direction.
[1155] The server predicts that the fire will spread to the north-northeast and calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the fire spreading.
[1156] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's terminal.
[1157] The device displays the route on a map and instructs the user to "evacuate towards the west."
[1158] The device recognizes the user's emotions and, if it determines that the stress level is high, it will provide more concise instructions and make the display more noticeable.
[1159] The user follows the instructions and begins evacuation.
[1160] The server monitors weather and fire data, recalculates evacuation routes as needed, and sends updated routes to the device.
[1161] The device will notify the user of the updated route, allowing them to continue their evacuation safely.
[1162] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[1163] Example 2
[1164] 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 robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1165] Accurate wind direction and fire spread forecasts are essential for swift and safe evacuation in the event of a fire. However, current systems have difficulty in doing this in real time, and evacuation routes are not optimized sufficiently. Furthermore, they do not provide flexible evacuation instructions that take into account the user's emotional state. This can lead to stress and confusion, making it difficult for users to take appropriate evacuation actions.
[1166] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of a fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, and means for recognizing the user's emotions and adjusting the content and display method of evacuation instructions. This enables quick and safe evacuation that takes the user's emotional state into consideration, and always provides an optimal evacuation route based on the latest information.
[1167] "Weather data" refers to information about weather conditions, such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[1168] A "wind direction prediction model" refers to a mathematical or machine learning model that uses input meteorological data such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature to predict wind direction.
[1169] "Fire data" refers to information about fires, such as the coordinates of the fire's location, the scale of the fire, and the progress of the fire.
[1170] "Methods for predicting fire spread" refers to algorithms and methods that use wind direction prediction models to calculate how far and in what direction a fire will spread.
[1171] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to an algorithm for calculating the spread of fire and the optimal route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation location.
[1172] "Means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal" refers to a communication means for transmitting information about the evacuation route from the server to the user's terminal.
[1173] "Means for recognizing user emotions" refers to sensors, software, and algorithms for detecting a user's emotional state.
[1174] "Means for adjusting the content and display of evacuation instructions" refers to algorithms and methods for changing and adjusting the evacuation route and message display depending on the recognized emotional state of the user.
[1175] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. Each process in this system is explained in detail below.
[1176] Data Acquisition
[1177] The server communicates with external systems such as the weather bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. This allows you to always have the latest weather conditions in real time. It also obtains fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale. Specifically, this data is obtained using an API.
[1178] Building the model
[1179] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, the model is trained using the Python library Scikit-learn. This wind direction prediction model is then used to predict wind direction based on newly acquired weather data.
[1180] Fire spread prediction
[1181] The server inputs meteorological data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Based on this predicted wind direction, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. This makes it possible to determine the direction and extent of the fire's progress.
[1182] Evacuation route calculation
[1183] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses a path-finding algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm. The important thing here is to set the fire damage area as an obstacle and calculate a route that avoids it. For example, the route calculation is performed using the open-source library NetworkX.
[1184] Notification of evacuation routes
[1185] The server then sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of the evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device of this list. This notification is usually done via the Internet.
[1186] Emotion recognition and response
[1187] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it can use a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. Depending on the recognized emotion, the device can adjust the content and display of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display messages such as "Please remain calm and act calmly."
[1188] Specific examples
[1189] For example, consider the case where a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Suppose the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this weather data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. The server then predicts which direction the fire will spread and determines that it will spread north-northeast. The server then calculates an evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire so that the user can evacuate safely, and sends that route to the user's device.
[1190] If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will display a simple and easy-to-understand evacuation route to the user and advise them to "stay calm." Even after the user begins evacuation, the server constantly monitors the latest weather and fire data, recalculates the evacuation route as needed, and sends the updated route to the device. The device then notifies the user of the updated evacuation route in real time, allowing them to continue evacuating safely by following the new instructions.
[1191] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1192] "Given weather data and fire data for the area around Tokyo Station, with a wind speed of 10 m / s, a wind direction of north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and a temperature of 20 degrees, calculate the optimal evacuation route. Please also take into account the user's emotional state."
[1193] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention. This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[1194] The flow of the identification process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[1195] Step 1: Get the data
[1196] The server communicates with external systems such as the meteorological bureau and fire department to collect weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature. The collected data is obtained through API requests. For example, the JSON data obtained as a response from the API is parsed to extract the necessary weather data. Fire data such as the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale is also obtained in a similar manner. The input is the API endpoint, and the output is data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, fire coordinates, and fire scale.
[1197] Step 2: Building a wind direction prediction model
[1198] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it trains a linear regression model that uses the collected wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. For example, it uses Python's Scikit-learn library to create a linear regression model and fit it with the training data. The input is weather data (wind speed, humidity, temperature), and the output is a wind direction prediction model.
[1199] Step 3: Predict wind direction
[1200] The server inputs the latest weather data into a wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. It uses a trained linear regression model to input the latest wind speed, humidity, and temperature data to predict wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s, humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees, these values are input into the model to predict wind direction. The input is the latest weather data, and the output is the predicted wind direction.
[1201] Step 4: Predicting the spread of the fire
[1202] The server calculates how far and in what direction the fire will spread based on the predicted wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and the wind is blowing north-northeast, the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast. An algorithm is implemented to calculate the distance the fire will spread based on the wind speed. The input is the predicted wind direction and wind speed, and the output is the direction and distance the fire will spread.
[1203] Step 5: Calculate evacuation routes
[1204] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. This calculation uses Dijkstra's algorithm. The fire damage area is set as an obstacle, and the route is calculated to avoid it. For example, an algorithm is run to find the shortest route using information on the user's current location and evacuation location. The input is information on the spread of the fire and the coordinates of the user's current location and evacuation location, and the output is the calculated evacuation route.
[1205] Step 6: Notify evacuation routes
[1206] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device. Specifically, it generates a list of evacuation route coordinates and notifies the user's device. The data is converted to JSON format and sent via the Internet. The input is the calculated evacuation route information, and the output is the evacuation route sent to the user's device.
[1207] Step 7: Emotion recognition and response
[1208] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. For example, it uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to detect their emotional state. The device adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions according to the recognized emotion. For example, if the user is experiencing high stress levels, the device will present evacuation routes in a more concise and easy-to-understand manner. It will also display a message such as "Please remain calm." The input is the user's facial expressions and voice information, and the output is the display of adjusted evacuation instructions.
[1209] (Application example 2)
[1210] 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."
[1211] In the event of a fire, quick and safe evacuation is required, but conventional systems have difficulty predicting the spread of fire or calculating evacuation routes in real time, and they have also been unable to provide appropriate evacuation guidance that takes into account the user's emotional state. As a result, there have been issues with reducing user stress during evacuation and providing reliable evacuation guidance.
[1212] 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.
[1213] In this invention, the server includes means for collecting weather data, means for constructing a model for predicting wind direction using the collected weather data, means for collecting fire data, means for predicting the spread of a fire using the wind direction model, means for calculating an optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of the fire, means for transmitting the calculated evacuation route to the terminal, means for recognizing a user's emotion, and means for adjusting the content and display method of evacuation instructions in accordance with the recognized user's emotion. This makes it possible to predict the spread of a fire and provide an optimal evacuation route in real time when a fire occurs, and further makes it possible to provide appropriate evacuation guidance based on the user's emotional state.
[1214] "Weather data" refers to data relating to weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature.
[1215] A "wind direction model" is a mathematical model for predicting wind direction based on specific meteorological data.
[1216] "Fire data" refers to data that includes information on the coordinates of the location of the fire and the scale of the fire.
[1217] A "means for predicting the spread of a fire" is a means for calculating the direction and extent of a fire's spread using a wind direction model.
[1218] "Means for calculating evacuation routes" refers to algorithms or procedures for calculating the optimal evacuation route that avoids the spread of fire.
[1219] "Means for recognizing user emotions" refers to technology for determining a user's emotional state by analyzing the user's facial expressions, voice, etc.
[1220] The "means for adjusting the content and display method of evacuation instructions" refers to a means for changing the display method of evacuation routes and guidance depending on the emotional state of the user.
[1221] "Terminal" refers to a device used by a user, such as a smartphone or tablet.
[1222] This invention combines a system that builds a wind direction prediction model based on meteorological data and fire data, predicts the spread of fires, calculates and notifies optimal evacuation routes, and further combines it with an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. To implement this system, the following processes are performed.
[1223] Data Acquisition
[1224] To collect weather data, the server communicates with external systems such as meteorological and fire departments to obtain data on wind speed, wind direction, humidity, temperature, etc. It also collects fire data such as the coordinates of fire locations and information on the scale of fires.
[1225] Building the model
[1226] The server builds a wind direction prediction model based on the acquired weather data. Specifically, it uses a linear regression model with wind speed, humidity, and temperature as input data and wind direction as output data. This model predicts wind direction based on weather conditions and estimates the direction of fire spread.
[1227] Fire spread prediction
[1228] The server inputs the latest weather data into the wind direction prediction model it has built to predict the current wind direction. For example, if the wind speed is 10 m / s and blowing north-northeast, it predicts that the fire will spread north-northeast.
[1229] Evacuation route calculation
[1230] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the predicted direction of fire spread. It uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to derive the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. It treats the predicted fire spread as an obstacle and optimizes the route to avoid it.
[1231] Notification of evacuation routes
[1232] The calculated evacuation route is sent from the server to the user's device. Specifically, a list of the evacuation route coordinates is generated and notified to the device.
[1233] Emotion recognition and response
[1234] The device uses an emotion engine to recognize the user's emotions. It uses a camera and microphone to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to determine their stress level. Based on the recognized emotion, it adjusts the content and display method of evacuation instructions. For example, if the user is in a state of high stress, it will make the evacuation route display simpler and easier to understand.
[1235] Specific examples
[1236] For example, suppose a fire breaks out near Tokyo Station. Assume the wind speed is 10 m / s, the wind direction is north-northeast, the humidity is 50%, and the temperature is 20 degrees. The server uses this data to build a wind direction prediction model and predicts the wind direction to be north-northeast. As the fire is predicted to spread north-northeast, the server calculates an evacuation route based on this information and sends it to the user's device. If the emotion engine recognizes that the user's stress level is high, the device will simplify the display of the evacuation route and display a message such as "Please remain calm and act accordingly."
[1237] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1238] "Your current location is 35.6895, 139.6917. Please calculate an evacuation route based on the latest wind speed of 10 m / s, wind direction north-northeast, humidity of 50%, and temperature of 20 degrees."
[1239] This system enables quick and safe evacuation in the event of a fire, and also provides appropriate support according to the user's emotional state.
[1240] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1241] Step 1:
[1242] The server collects meteorological data, specifically data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature, from the APIs of the weather bureau and fire department, allowing real-time weather information to be collected on the server.
[1243] Input: API of weather station and fire department
[1244] Output: Weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature
[1245] Step 2:
[1246] The server uses the collected weather data to build a wind direction prediction model. Specifically, it uses a linear regression model to learn how to predict wind direction using wind speed, humidity, and temperature as inputs.
[1247] Input: Weather data such as wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and temperature
[1248] Output: Wind direction prediction model
[1249] Step 3:
[1250] The server collects fire data, specifically, obtaining information on the coordinates of the fire's location and its scale from the fire department's API.
[1251] Input: Fire Department API
[1252] Output: Coordinates of the fire location, data on the fire's scale
[1253] Step 4:
[1254] The server uses a wind direction prediction model to predict the spread of the fire. Collected weather data is input into the wind direction prediction model to predict the current wind direction. Next, based on the predicted wind direction and fire data, it calculates the direction and extent of the fire's spread.
[1255] Inputs: Wind direction prediction model, latest weather data, fire data
[1256] Output: Fire spread prediction results (direction and distance)
[1257] Step 5:
[1258] The server calculates the optimal evacuation route to avoid the spread of the fire. Specifically, it uses algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the shortest route from the user's current location to a safe evacuation site. The predicted fire spread is treated as an obstacle, and the route is optimized to avoid it.
[1259] Input: User's current location, fire spread prediction results
[1260] Output: Evacuation route
[1261] Step 6:
[1262] The server sends the calculated evacuation route to the user's device, which then notifies the device of the coordinates of the evacuation route and displays it as a visual navigation system.
[1263] Input: List of evacuation route coordinates
[1264] Output: Evacuation route notification to user terminal
[1265] Step 7:
[1266] The device recognizes the user's emotions by analyzing the user's facial expressions and voice using the smartphone's camera and microphone, and then uses an emotion engine to determine the user's stress level.
[1267] Input: Camera input, microphone input
[1268] Output: User's emotional state (stress level)
[1269] Step 8:
[1270] The device adjusts the content and display of evacuation instructions based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user's stress level is high, the device will change the display of evacuation routes to a simpler and easier-to-understand format and display the necessary messages.
[1271] Input: User's emotional state, evacuation route
[1272] Output: Coordinated evacuation instructions and messages
[1273] Step 9:
[1274] The user begins evacuation by following the evacuation route provided by the device, which continues to provide real-time notifications about the evacuation route and updates it as necessary.
[1275] Input: Coordinated evacuation orders and messages
[1276] Output: Evacuation, real-time notification
[1277] 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.
[1278] 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.
[1279] 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.
[1280] 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.
[1281] 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.
[1282] 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.
[1283] 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).
[1284] 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.
[1285] 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."
[1286] 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.

[1288] 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.
[1289] 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.

[1291] 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.
