For example, the collection unit collects information that will affect ambulance movement, taking into account road conditions and poor visibility during rainy weather. The collection unit can also collect information on snow removal status and the risk of freezing on snowy days, and provide information to select the optimal transport route. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect meteorological information such as strong winds and typhoons in real time to support the safe movement of ambulances. This enables swift and safe hospital transport that takes meteorological information into account.

[0106] The analysis unit can also select a route that minimizes the ambulance's fuel consumption based on the collected information. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the ambulance's remaining fuel and fuel consumption data to propose the most efficient route. The analysis unit can also select a route that reduces fuel consumption by taking into account traffic congestion and waiting time at traffic lights. Furthermore, the analysis unit can select the shortest route to minimize the ambulance's driving distance. This enables efficient hospital transport with reduced fuel consumption.

[0107] The liaison unit can also grasp the patient's lifestyle habits and health condition in addition to the patient's past treatment history and allergy information. For example, the liaison unit obtains information about the patient's lifestyle habits, such as diet, exercise, and sleep, and creates an optimal treatment plan. The liaison unit can also understand the patient's medical history and current symptoms and select an appropriate medical institution. Furthermore, the liaison unit can determine treatment priorities based on the patient's health condition. This makes it possible to provide optimal treatment that takes into account the patient's lifestyle habits and health condition.

[0108] The decision unit can also determine the transport route by taking into account local disaster information in addition to traffic conditions and hospital acceptance status. For example, when a disaster such as an earthquake or flood occurs, the decision unit selects the optimal route by taking into account evacuation routes and the situation in the affected area. The decision unit can also reflect traffic restrictions and road closures during a disaster in real time and propose a safe transport route. Furthermore, the decision unit can select a route that minimizes risks affecting the movement of ambulances based on disaster information. This enables quick and safe transport to hospitals even during disasters.

[0109] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the collected information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the collection unit can provide a simple, highly visible display method. If the user is relaxed, the collection unit can also provide a display method that includes detailed information. If the user is impatient, the collection unit can also provide a display method that focuses on the main points. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by adjusting the display method of the collected information based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

[0110] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the analysis unit can prioritize displaying important information. Also, if the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can prioritize displaying detailed information. Also, if the user is impatient, the analysis unit can prioritize displaying information that covers the main points. This enables more appropriate information to be provided by determining the priority of analysis results based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

[0111] The linking unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method for acquiring personal identification information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the linking unit can acquire personal identification information using a simple interface. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the linking unit can provide detailed input options and acquire personal identification information. Alternatively, if the user is impatient, the linking unit can prioritize voice input and quickly acquire personal identification information. This allows for more appropriate information acquisition by adjusting the method for acquiring personal identification information based on the user's emotions. The emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI.

[0112] The determination unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the transportation route based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the determination unit can provide a simple, highly visible display method. If the user is relaxed, the determination unit can also provide a display method that includes detailed information. If the user is impatient, the determination unit can also provide a display method that focuses on the main points. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by adjusting the display method of the transportation route based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

[0113] The determination unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of transportation routes based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the determination unit can prioritize the quickest route. If the user is relaxed, the determination unit can also prioritize a route that includes detailed information. If the user is impatient, the determination unit can also prioritize a route that covers the main points. This enables more appropriate information to be provided by determining the priority of transportation routes based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

[0114] The collection unit can collect the fuel status and maintenance status of each ambulance and evaluate the possibility of dispatch. For example, the collection unit collects the fuel status of each ambulance and evaluates whether it is possible to dispatch. The collection unit can also collect the maintenance status of each ambulance and check whether there are any obstacles to dispatch. Furthermore, the collection unit can select ambulances that can be dispatched based on the fuel status and maintenance status. In this way, by collecting the fuel status and maintenance status of each ambulance, the possibility of dispatch can be evaluated.

[0115] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0116] Step 1: The collection unit collects information on ambulance dispatch status and doctors on duty at emergency outpatient clinics. Specifically, it collects information on the location and dispatch status of each ambulance, as well as information on doctors on duty at each hospital's emergency outpatient clinic. The collection unit also updates ambulance location information in real time, allowing it to adjust the optimal collection timing. It can also predict the schedules of doctors on duty at each hospital's emergency outpatient clinic and optimize the frequency of information collection. Step 2: The analysis unit performs analysis based on the information collected by the collection unit. Specifically, it selects the most suitable hospital based on the collected information. It can also refer to past data to predict the current situation and select the most suitable hospital. It can also apply different analysis algorithms depending on the patient's symptoms and level of urgency. Step 3: The linking unit acquires personal identification information based on the results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, it acquires personal identification information and ascertains the patient's past medical history and information about their regular hospital. It can also automatically acquire contact information for the patient's family and emergency contacts. It can also confirm the patient's insurance information and ability to pay. Step 4: The determination unit determines the optimal transport route to the hospital based on the personal identification information acquired by the collaboration unit. Specifically, the determination unit determines the optimal transport route to the hospital taking into account traffic conditions and hospital acceptance status. It can also reflect changes in traffic conditions in real time. It can also select a route that minimizes the ambulance's fuel consumption and driving distance.

The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0164] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0165] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0166] 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.

[0167] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. 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. 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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).

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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."

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.
