Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A baby sleep system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to streamline the process of putting a baby to sleep. The generation AI generates a lullaby for the baby and plays it. It then monitors the baby's condition using a camera and temperature sensor to create an optimal sleeping environment. For example, it can measure the baby's temperature and adjust the air conditioner temperature accordingly. If the baby does not fall asleep, the generation AI generates a new lullaby and repeats the process until the baby falls asleep. It also analyzes what lullabies are most effective for sleep and references information on how long it takes other users of the system to fall asleep, thereby continually generating good lullabies. When the baby falls asleep, the system notifies the parent via their smartphone. It also sends an alert to the parent's smartphone if it detects abnormalities, such as an abnormally high baby temperature, coughing, or not breathing, allowing the parent to rest and relax. For example, it shortens the time it takes for the baby to fall asleep, freeing up time for other household chores or rest. Constant monitoring of the baby's health allows the parent to rest assured that the system is responsible for putting the baby to sleep. This makes the baby sleep system more efficient and reduces the burden on parents. For example, it shortens the time it takes for a baby to fall asleep, allowing parents to spend more time on other household chores or rest. In addition, by constantly monitoring the baby's health, parents can rest assured that they can leave the baby to sleep.
[0029] A baby sleep system according to an embodiment includes a generation unit, a playback unit, a monitoring unit, an adjustment unit, and a notification unit. The generation unit generates a lullaby for the baby using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit generates a new lullaby if the baby does not fall asleep. The generation unit can also generate a lullaby by referring to information on the time other users of the same system fall asleep. The playback unit plays the lullaby generated by the generation unit. For example, the playback unit can estimate the baby's emotions and adjust the timing of the lullaby playback based on the estimated baby's emotions. The monitoring unit monitors the baby's condition using a camera and a temperature sensor. For example, the monitoring unit can measure the baby's body temperature and heart rate in real time and detect abnormalities. The adjustment unit adjusts the air conditioner temperature based on the information obtained by the monitoring unit. For example, the adjustment unit can also adjust the air conditioner temperature based on the baby's body temperature. The notification unit sends a notification to the parent's smartphone when the baby falls asleep or when an abnormality is detected. The notification unit can also notify parents in real time of abnormalities in the baby's body temperature or heart rate, for example. This allows the baby sleep system according to the embodiment to make putting babies to sleep more efficient and reduce the burden on parents.
[0030] The generation unit can generate a new lullaby if the baby does not sleep. For example, the generation unit generates a new lullaby if the baby does not sleep. The generation unit can change the melody or adjust the tempo to generate a new lullaby. This makes it possible to continue soothing the baby to sleep even if the baby does not sleep by generating a new lullaby. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the generation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can cause the generation AI to generate a new lullaby if the baby does not sleep.
[0031] The generation unit can generate a lullaby by referring to information about the time it takes other users who use the same system to fall asleep. For example, the generation unit generates a lullaby by referring to information about the time it takes other users who use the same system to fall asleep. The generation unit can generate a more effective lullaby by collecting and analyzing data from other users. This allows for the generation of a more effective lullaby by referring to the data from other users. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input data from other users into the generation AI and have the generation AI generate a lullaby.
[0032] The monitoring unit can monitor the baby's condition using a camera or a temperature sensor. The monitoring unit monitors the baby's condition using, for example, a camera. The monitoring unit can capture the baby's movements and facial expressions with a camera and monitor them in real time. The monitoring unit can also measure and monitor the baby's body temperature using a temperature sensor. This allows the baby's condition to be accurately monitored using a camera or a temperature sensor. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input video data acquired by a camera into AI and have the AI analyze the baby's condition.
[0033] The adjustment unit can adjust the temperature of the air conditioner based on the baby's body temperature. For example, the adjustment unit measures the baby's body temperature and adjusts the temperature of the air conditioner based on the data. The adjustment unit can lower the temperature of the air conditioner if the baby's body temperature is high, and raise the temperature of the air conditioner if the baby's body temperature is low. This allows for an optimal sleeping environment by adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner based on the baby's body temperature. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the adjustment unit can input the baby's body temperature data into AI and have the AI adjust the temperature of the air conditioner.
[0034] The notification unit can send a notification to the parent's smartphone when the baby falls asleep or when it detects an abnormality. For example, the notification unit sends a notification to the parent's smartphone when the baby falls asleep. The notification unit can detect that the baby has fallen asleep and send a text message or voice message to the parent's smartphone. The notification unit can also send an alert to the parent's smartphone when it detects an abnormality in the baby, such as an abnormally high body temperature, coughing, or not breathing. This allows the parent to be notified when the baby falls asleep or when it detects an abnormality, so they can rest assured that they are in charge of putting the baby to sleep. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the notification unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the notification unit can input baby's condition data into AI and have the AI generate the notification content.
[0035] The generation unit can estimate the baby's emotions and adjust the melody and tempo of the lullaby based on the estimated baby's emotions. For example, if the baby is feeling anxious, the generation AI can generate a calm and relaxing melody. If the baby is excited, the generation AI can also generate a lullaby with a slow tempo. If the baby is crying, the generation AI can also generate a lullaby with a calming melody and tempo. This allows for more effective sleep by generating a lullaby that suits the baby's emotions. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the generation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the baby's emotional data into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the melody and tempo of the lullaby.
[0036] The generation unit can analyze the baby's past sleep patterns and select the optimal lullaby generation method. For example, the generation unit can analyze the patterns of lullabies that have helped the baby sleep well in the past and generate a similar melody. The generation unit can also generate a melody that helps the baby fall asleep easily at a specific time of day. The generation unit can also generate a lullaby with an optimal tempo and rhythm based on the baby's past sleep data. In this way, more effective lullabies can be generated by analyzing past sleep patterns. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the generation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the baby's past sleep data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal lullaby generation method.
[0037] When generating a lullaby, the generator can apply different melodies and rhythms depending on the baby's age and developmental stage. For example, the generator can generate a simple and calm melody for a newborn. The generator can also generate a lullaby with a slightly more complex rhythm for an infant. The generator can also generate a lullaby with a fun melody for a toddler. This allows for more effective soothing of a baby by generating a lullaby appropriate for the baby's age and developmental stage. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generator can be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generator can input data on the baby's age and developmental stage into the generation AI and have the generation AI apply the lullaby melody and rhythm.
[0038] When generating a lullaby, the generation unit can incorporate the voice of the baby's parent to create a familiar lullaby. For example, the generation unit can record the parent's voice and generate a lullaby based on that voice. The generation unit can also generate a lullaby using the parent's voice in the background. The generation unit can also use the parent's voice as the main voice and have the generation AI add a melody. In this way, incorporating the parent's voice allows the baby to sleep more soundly. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the generation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input recording data of the parent's voice into the generation AI and have the generation AI generate a familiar lullaby.
[0039] The generation unit can estimate the baby's emotions and adjust the lyrics of the lullaby based on the estimated baby's emotions. For example, if the baby is feeling anxious, the generation AI can generate lyrics that provide a sense of security. Also, if the baby is excited, the generation unit can generate lyrics that calm the baby. Also, if the baby is crying, the generation unit can generate lyrics that comfort the baby. In this way, by generating lyrics that correspond to the baby's emotions, more effective sleep can be achieved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the baby's emotional data into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the lullaby lyrics.
[0040] When generating a lullaby, the generator can customize it by taking into account the baby's favorite sounds and musical genre. For example, the generator can generate a lullaby that incorporates the sounds of a baby's favorite animal. The generator can also generate a lullaby based on the baby's favorite musical genre (classical, jazz, etc.). The generator can also generate a lullaby that includes specific sounds that the baby responds to. This allows for more effective lullaby-soothing by generating a lullaby that suits the baby's preferences. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generator can be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generator can input data on the baby's favorite sounds and musical genre into the generation AI and have the generation AI customize the lullaby.
[0041] When generating a lullaby, the generator can adjust the volume and sound quality to an optimum level based on the baby's sleeping environment. For example, if the room is dark, the generator can generate a lullaby at a gentle volume. Alternatively, if the room is bright, the generator can generate a lullaby at a slightly louder volume. The generator can also generate a lullaby with the optimum sound quality to match the volume of the room. This allows for more effective soothing of the baby by generating a lullaby that suits the baby's sleeping environment. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generator can be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generator can input data about the baby's sleeping environment into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the volume and sound quality of the lullaby.
[0042] The generation unit can improve the generation method when generating a lullaby by reflecting feedback from the baby's parent. For example, the generation unit causes the generation AI to adjust the lullaby melody based on feedback provided by the parent. The generation unit can also cause the generation AI to change the tempo of the lullaby based on the parent's opinion. The generation unit can also cause the generation AI to revise the lyrics of the lullaby based on the parent's feedback. This allows for the generation of a more effective lullaby by reflecting parental feedback. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input parental feedback data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the lullaby generation method.
[0043] The playback unit can estimate the baby's emotions and adjust the timing of the lullaby playback based on the estimated baby's emotions. For example, if the baby is feeling anxious, the playback unit can immediately play the lullaby. If the baby is relaxed, the playback unit can also play the lullaby with a slight delay. If the baby is crying, the playback unit can also play the lullaby immediately. This allows for more effective sleep-training by adjusting the playback timing according to the baby's emotions. Some or all of the above-described processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the playback unit can input the baby's emotional data into AI and have the AI adjust the timing of the lullaby playback.
[0044] When playing lullabies, the playback unit can adjust the playback order and intervals based on the baby's sleep pattern. For example, the playback unit plays lullabies at times when the baby is most likely to fall asleep. The playback unit can also shorten the playback intervals before the baby enters deep sleep. The playback unit can also adjust the playback order before the baby enters light sleep. This allows for more effective sleep placement by adjusting the playback order and intervals according to the baby's sleep pattern. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the playback unit can input data on the baby's sleep pattern into AI and have the AI adjust the playback order and intervals.
[0045] The playback unit can detect the baby's body movements when playing a lullaby and automatically adjust the playback volume. For example, if the baby starts to move, the playback unit lowers the playback volume. The playback unit can also keep the playback volume constant if the baby is quiet. The playback unit can also increase the playback volume if the baby starts to cry. This allows for more effective sleep-training by adjusting the volume according to the baby's body movements. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the playback unit can input the baby's body movement data into AI and have the AI adjust the playback volume.
[0046] The playback unit can add a function to record and play back the baby's parent's voice when playing back a lullaby.

The playback unit can also use the parent's voice as the main voice and play it back as part of the lullaby. The playback unit can also record the parent's voice and play it back when the baby cries. This allows the baby to sleep more soundly by playing back the parent's voice. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the playback unit can input recording data of the parent's voice into AI and have the AI play the lullaby.
[0047] The playback unit can estimate the baby's emotions and adjust the playback speed of the lullaby based on the estimated baby's emotions. For example, the playback unit slows down the playback speed if the baby feels anxious. The playback unit can also keep the playback speed constant if the baby is relaxed. The playback unit can also speed up the playback speed if the baby is crying. This allows for more effective sleep-training by adjusting the playback speed according to the baby's emotions. Some or all of the above-described processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the playback unit can input the baby's emotional data into AI and have the AI adjust the playback speed.
[0048] When playing a lullaby, the playback unit can adjust the sound quality of the playback based on the baby's sleeping environment.

The playback unit can also make the sound quality of the playback clearer when the room humidity is low. The playback unit can also warm the sound quality of the playback when the room temperature is low. This allows for more effective sleep by adjusting the sound quality according to the baby's sleeping environment. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the playback unit can input data about the baby's sleeping environment into AI and have the AI adjust the sound quality of the playback.
[0049] The playback unit can be added with a function to remotely control playback of a lullaby from the baby's parent's smartphone when the lullaby is being played. For example, the playback unit allows the parent to start playing a lullaby from the smartphone. The playback unit also allows the parent to stop playing the lullaby from the smartphone. The playback unit also allows the parent to adjust the volume of the lullaby playback from the smartphone. This allows the parent to remotely control playback, enabling more flexible ways to put the baby to sleep. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the playback unit can input control data from the parent's smartphone to AI and have the AI control the playback of the lullaby.
[0050] The playback unit can combine the baby's favorite music and sounds when playing a lullaby. For example, the playback unit can combine the sounds of the baby's favorite animals with the lullaby and play them. The playback unit can also combine the baby's favorite music genre with the lullaby and play them. The playback unit can also combine specific sounds that the baby responds to with the lullaby and play them. This allows for more effective sleep by playing music and sounds that suit the baby's preferences. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the playback unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the playback unit can input data on the baby's favorite music and sounds into AI and have the AI play the lullaby.
[0051] The monitoring unit can estimate the baby's emotions and adjust the monitoring frequency based on the estimated baby's emotions. For example, the monitoring unit can increase the monitoring frequency when the baby is feeling anxious. The monitoring unit can also maintain a constant monitoring frequency when the baby is relaxed. The monitoring unit can also maximize the monitoring frequency when the baby is crying. This allows for more effective monitoring by adjusting the monitoring frequency according to the baby's emotions. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the baby's emotional data into AI and have the AI adjust the monitoring frequency.
[0052] During monitoring, the monitoring unit can measure the baby's body temperature and heart rate in real time and detect abnormalities. For example, the monitoring unit issues an alert if the baby's body temperature is high. The monitoring unit can also issue an alert if the baby's heart rate is abnormally high. The monitoring unit can also issue an alert if the baby's body temperature is low. In this way, by measuring the baby's body temperature and heart rate in real time, abnormalities can be detected early. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data on the baby's body temperature and heart rate into AI and have the AI detect abnormalities.

[0194] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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).
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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."
[0201] 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.

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.
[0204] 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.
[0205] 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.
[0206] 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.
[0207] 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.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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.
[0210] 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.
[0211] 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.
[0212] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
