Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reservation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reservation unit can input the user's reservation information into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the reservation procedure.

[0034] The reception unit can analyze the user's past health history and select an input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays symptoms that the user has frequently input in the past as candidates. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and suggest symptoms to be input during a specific time period based on the user's past health history. For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's past health history and predict symptoms to be input during a specific time period. In this way, the optimal input method can be provided by analyzing the user's past health history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past health history data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select an input method.

[0035] When inputting the user's physical condition, the reception unit can filter the data based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is at work, the reception unit provides a question format that can be input in a short time. For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit provides detailed input options. Furthermore, if the user has a specific area of ​​interest (e.g., health management), the reception unit preferentially displays questions related to that area. For example, if the user is interested in health management, the reception unit preferentially displays questions related to health. This allows for filtering based on the user's living situation and areas of interest, thereby providing more appropriate input options.

For example, the analysis unit applies a dedicated analysis algorithm to digestive system symptoms. The analysis unit can also apply a dedicated analysis algorithm to nervous system symptoms. For example, the analysis unit applies a dedicated analysis algorithm to nervous system symptoms. In this way, by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the symptom category, the accuracy of the analysis is improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom category data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to apply the analysis algorithm.

[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. The analysis unit, for example, corrects the current analysis result based on the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit extracts specific patterns from the user's past analysis results and reflects them in the current analysis. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's past analysis results and optimize the analysis algorithm. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's past analysis results and optimizes the analysis algorithm. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's past analysis result data into the generation AI and have the generation AI improve the accuracy of the analysis.

[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the time of symptom onset. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of recently occurring symptoms. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of symptoms that have continued for a long period of time. The analysis unit can also gradually adjust the priority of analysis according to the time of symptom onset. For example, the analysis unit determines which symptoms to prioritize analysis according to the time of symptom onset. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of symptom onset. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom onset data to the generation AI and have the generation AI determine the priority of analysis.

[0044] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of symptoms. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant symptoms. For example, the analysis unit postpones analysis of less relevant symptoms. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis in stages according to the relevance of symptoms. For example, the analysis unit determines the order of analysis to be prioritized according to the relevance of symptoms. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of symptoms. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom relevance data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the order of analysis.

[0045] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terminology in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user is a medical professional, the analysis unit provides analysis results that use a lot of technical terminology. For example, if the user is a layperson, the analysis unit provides analysis results that avoid technical terminology. The analysis unit can also gradually adjust the use of technical terminology in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the use of technical terminology according to the user's level of expertise. This allows for providing analysis results that are easy for the user to understand by adjusting the use of technical terminology in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's level of expertise data into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the use of technical terminology.

[0046] The diagnostic unit can improve the accuracy of diagnosis by taking into account the interrelationships between symptoms during diagnosis.

The diagnostic unit can also make a diagnosis taking into account the user's medical history and family history. For example, the diagnostic unit makes a diagnosis taking into account the user's medical history and family history. This makes it possible to make a more personalized diagnosis by taking into account the user's attribute information. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the diagnostic unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the diagnostic unit can input the user's attribute information data into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform the diagnosis.

[0048] The diagnostic unit can weight the diagnosis based on the frequency of symptom occurrence during diagnosis. For example, the diagnostic unit assigns a higher weight to a symptom that occurs frequently. For example, the diagnostic unit assigns a lower weight to a symptom that occurs rarely. The diagnostic unit can also adjust the diagnostic weight in stages according to the frequency of symptom occurrence. For example, the diagnostic unit adjusts the weight according to the frequency of symptom occurrence. This enables efficient diagnosis by weighting the diagnosis based on the frequency of symptom occurrence. Some or all of the above-described processing in the diagnostic unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the diagnostic unit can input symptom occurrence frequency data to a generation AI and have the generation AI perform diagnostic weighting.

[0049] The diagnostic unit can make a diagnosis taking into account the geographical distribution of symptoms. The diagnostic unit makes a diagnosis, for example, taking into account diseases that are prevalent in a particular region. For example, the diagnostic unit makes a diagnosis taking into account diseases specific to a region based on the user's place of residence.

Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can provide analysis results that focus on the main points. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit provides analysis results that can be understood in a short amount of time. This allows for adjusting the way the analysis is presented based on the user's emotions to provide more appropriate analysis results. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform emotion estimation.

[0087] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the severity of the symptom.

The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0182] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0183] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0184] 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.

[0185] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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).

[0188] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0189] 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."

[0190] 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.

[0191] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.

[0192] 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.

[0193] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0194] 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.

[0195] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0196] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0197] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0198] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0199] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

[0200] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
