[0028] (Example 1) An emergency support system according to an embodiment of the present invention generates information corresponding to an emergency scenario, guides users to safe evacuation shelters, and performs emergency communications. The emergency support system uses a generation AI to generate information corresponding to an emergency scenario, and the AR glasses combine navigation and audio guidance to guide the user to a safe evacuation shelter. The emergency support system also performs emergency communications between users or between users and rescue teams. For example, in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake or fire, the generation AI generates information on evacuation routes and safe evacuation shelters appropriate to the situation. This information is updated in real time and provided to the user. Next, based on the generated information, the emergency support system displays evacuation routes on the AR glasses' display and provides audio guidance to the user. This allows the user to confirm the evacuation route both visually and audibly, enabling quick and safe evacuation. Furthermore, when a user encounters an emergency, the emergency support system can send emergency messages to other users or rescue teams via the AR glasses. In particular, even if the communication network is down due to a disaster, information can be shared using a dedicated wireless communication function. This allows users to communicate with others and cooperate in evacuating even in an emergency. This allows the emergency support system to guide users quickly and safely in emergency situations and ensure communication. For example, in the event of an earthquake, the generation AI will generate evacuation routes in real time, and the AR glasses will guide users based on that information. Furthermore, even if the communication network is down, users can still contact other users and rescue teams using the dedicated wireless communication function. This ensures the safety of users in emergencies.

Furthermore, when the emergency is heading toward resolution, the generation unit can also decrease the update frequency of the information using the generation AI. Furthermore, the generation unit can dynamically adjust the update frequency of the information using the generation AI according to the progress of the emergency.

[0091] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0092] The generator can monitor the user's health condition and adjust the content of the generated information. For example, the generator can monitor the user's heart rate and blood pressure in real time, and if an abnormality is detected, use the generation AI to provide information on emergency medical assistance. In addition, if the user has a chronic illness, the generator can generate information on evacuation routes and shelters taking that information into account. Furthermore, the generator can provide evacuation precautions and a list of necessary medical supplies according to the user's health condition. This allows the generator to provide appropriate information according to the user's health condition.
[0093] The navigation unit can adjust the navigation instruction method according to the user's means of transportation. For example, if the user is using a car, the generation AI can be used to provide an evacuation route for vehicles. Also, if the user is using a bicycle, the generation AI can be used to provide an evacuation route specifically for bicycles. Furthermore, if the user is evacuating on foot, the generation AI can be used to provide an evacuation route specifically for pedestrians. This enables appropriate navigation according to the user's means of transportation.
[0094] The communication unit can estimate the user's emotions and select the recipients of the emergency message based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is in a panic, the generation AI can be used to send the emergency message to the most trusted contact. Alternatively, if the user is calm, the generation AI can be used to send the emergency message to multiple contacts. Furthermore, if the user is feeling anxious, the generation AI can be used to send the emergency message to contacts that give them a sense of security. This allows the appropriate recipient to be selected according to the user's emotions.
[0095] The generation unit can learn the user's past evacuation behavior and improve the accuracy of the generated information. For example, the generation unit can use generation AI to suggest the optimal evacuation route based on the route the user has taken in the past. The generation unit can also use generation AI to suggest a route that avoids congestion based on the user's past evacuation behavior. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the user's past evacuation behavior and use generation AI to suggest the most efficient evacuation route. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of the information by utilizing past evacuation behavior.
[0096] The navigation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the navigation voice guidance based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation AI can be used to provide guidance in a calm voice. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the generation AI can be used to provide guidance in a cheerful voice. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation AI can be used to provide quick and concise voice guidance. This makes it possible to provide voice guidance that corresponds to the user's emotions.
[0097] The communication unit can adjust the communication method taking into account the remaining battery power of the user's device. For example, when the battery power of the user's device is low, the communication unit uses the generation AI to communicate in power-saving mode. Also, when the battery power of the user's device is sufficient, the communication unit can use the generation AI to perform normal communication. Furthermore, the communication unit can adjust the frequency of communication according to the remaining battery power of the user's device. This enables appropriate communication according to the remaining battery power.
[0098] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of the information to be generated based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is in a panic, the generation AI can be used to provide the most important information with priority. Also, if the user is calm, the generation AI can be used to provide detailed information with priority. Furthermore, if the user is feeling anxious, the generation AI can be used to provide information that gives a sense of security with priority. This makes it possible to determine the priority of information according to the user's emotions.
[0099] The navigation unit can suggest the optimal route by referring to the user's past travel history. For example, the navigation unit can use generation AI to suggest the optimal route based on routes the user has used in the past. The navigation unit can also use generation AI to suggest routes that avoid congestion based on the user's past travel history. Furthermore, the navigation unit can analyze the user's past travel history and use generation AI to suggest the most efficient route. This makes it possible to provide the optimal route by utilizing past travel history.
[0100] The communication unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the emergency message based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is in a panic, the generation AI can be used to send a concise and to-the-point emergency message. If the user is calm, the generation AI can be used to send a detailed emergency message. Furthermore, if the user is feeling anxious, the generation AI can be used to send an emergency message that provides a sense of security. This makes it possible to provide an appropriate emergency message according to the user's emotions.
[0101] The generation unit can customize the display format of the generated information by taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the generation unit can use the generation AI to provide a display format that matches the screen size. Also, if the user is using a tablet, the generation unit can use the generation AI to provide a display format optimized for a large screen. Furthermore, if the user is using a smartwatch, the generation unit can use the generation AI to provide a simple, highly visible display format. This makes it possible to provide the optimal display format for the user's device.
[0102] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0103] Step 1: The generation unit generates information corresponding to emergency scenarios. When a disaster such as an earthquake or fire occurs, the generation unit uses the generation AI to generate information on evacuation routes and safe shelters appropriate to the situation. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to update information in real time and provide it to users. For example, the generation AI analyzes the occurrence of a disaster and generates the optimal evacuation route. Step 2: The navigation unit guides the user based on the information generated by the generation unit. The navigation unit displays the evacuation route on the AR glasses' display, and audio guidance instructs the user on which direction to proceed. The navigation unit can also perform real-time navigation based on the generated information, taking into account the user's current location. For example, the navigation unit displays the optimal evacuation route based on the user's current location. Step 3: The communication unit performs emergency communications between users guided by the navigation unit or between users and rescue teams. The communication unit uses a dedicated wireless communication function to share information even if the communication network goes down due to a disaster or other reason. The communication unit can also send emergency messages to other users or rescue teams when a user encounters an emergency. For example, the communication unit uses a dedicated wireless communication function to send an emergency message including the user's current location information.

[0145] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0146] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.
[0147] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.
[0148] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.
[0149] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0150] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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).
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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."
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
