[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses cameras and sensors installed in vehicles to monitor and score the driving behavior of elderly drivers in real time. The system collects data from the cameras and sensors, analyzes it using AI, and scores the driver's driving safety. Insurance companies then calculate insurance premiums based on the scores. If the score falls below a certain threshold, the insurance company shares the information with family members and the police, and uses it as reference information for license surrender recommendations and license renewal recommendations. This allows the system to monitor the elderly driver's driving safety in real time and score the driver's driving behavior. This information can then be used as reference information for insurance premium calculations, license surrender recommendations, and license renewal recommendations.

The AI ​​evaluates driving safety based on the collected data and generates a score. For example, it analyzes the frequency of sudden braking, sudden acceleration, and lane departures to quantify driving safety. Insurance premiums are then calculated based on the scoring results. Insurance companies then set premiums based on the scoring results. For example, if the score is high, insurance premiums are set lower, and if the score is low, insurance premiums are set higher. Also, if the score falls below a certain standard, the insurance company will share that information with family members and the police. For example, if the score is low, the family will be notified and they will be asked to surrender their license. The information will also be provided to the police, who will use it as reference when renewing their license. This system can encourage safe driving among elderly drivers and reduce the risk of accidents.

[0121] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0122] The analysis unit can adjust the music and navigation voices while driving based on the driver's driving style. For example, if the driver is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can play relaxing music. If the driver is relaxed, the analysis unit can also play regular music and navigation voices. If the driver is tired, the analysis unit can also play voices that call attention to the driver's actions. This makes it possible to improve driving safety by adjusting the music and navigation voices based on the driver's emotions.

[0123] The collection unit can monitor the driver's posture while driving and encourage them to improve their posture. For example, if the driver has been driving in the same posture for a long time, the collection unit can encourage them to change their posture. In addition, if the driver is driving in an unnatural posture, the collection unit can also advise the driver to adopt a correct posture. In addition, if the driver is tired, the collection unit can encourage the driver to take a break. In this way, driving safety can be improved by monitoring the driver's posture and maintaining appropriate posture.

[0124] The analysis unit can analyze the driver's eye movements while driving and evaluate the degree of eye concentration. For example, the analysis unit can compare the amount of time the driver spends looking ahead with the amount of time they spend looking to the side to evaluate the degree of eye concentration. The analysis unit can also evaluate the possibility of distraction if the driver frequently moves their eyes. The analysis unit can also evaluate the degree of eye concentration as high if the driver keeps their eyes fixed. In this way, by analyzing the driver's eye movements and evaluating the degree of eye concentration, driving safety can be improved.

[0125] The scoring unit can monitor the driver's heart rate while driving and perform scoring based on heart rate fluctuations. For example, the scoring unit evaluates heart rate fluctuations during sudden braking or sudden acceleration and scores driving safety. The scoring unit can also evaluate heart rate fluctuations during long-term driving and score the degree of fatigue. The scoring unit can also evaluate heart rate stability and score the degree of relaxation. In this way, scoring based on the driver's heart rate fluctuations can improve driving safety.

[0126] The calculation unit can calculate insurance premiums by taking into account the driver's fuel efficiency data while driving. For example, the calculation unit can set lower insurance premiums for drivers with good fuel efficiency. The calculation unit can also set higher insurance premiums for drivers with poor fuel efficiency. The calculation unit can also provide advice on eco-driving based on the fuel efficiency data. In this way, calculating insurance premiums by taking into account the driver's fuel efficiency data can encourage eco-driving and contribute to environmental protection.

[0127] The sharing unit can estimate the driver's emotions while driving and share information with family members or the police based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the driver is feeling stressed, the sharing unit can notify family members and ask for support. If the driver is relaxed, the sharing unit can also share information normally. If the driver is tired, the sharing unit can also notify the police and encourage them to take a break. This makes it possible to improve driving safety by sharing information based on the driver's emotions.

[0128] The notification unit can monitor the driver's behavior while driving in real time and issue a notification if abnormal behavior is detected. For example, if the driver frequently brakes suddenly, the notification unit can notify family members. The notification unit can also notify the police if the driver repeatedly deviates from their lane. The notification unit can also notify the driver to take a break if the driver continues driving for a long period of time. In this way, by detecting abnormal driver behavior in real time and issuing appropriate notifications, driving safety can be improved.

[0129] The collection unit can estimate the driver's emotions while driving and provide driving advice based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the driver feels stressed, the collection unit can provide advice to relax. If the driver is relaxed, the collection unit can also provide normal driving advice. If the driver is tired, the collection unit can also advise the driver to take a break. In this way, by providing driving advice based on the driver's emotions, driving safety can be improved.

[0130] The analysis unit can analyze the driver's behavior while driving and identify risk factors for driving. For example, the analysis unit can identify a high frequency of sudden braking as a risk factor. The analysis unit can also identify a high number of lane departures as a risk factor. The analysis unit can also identify a high frequency of speeding as a risk factor. In this way, by analyzing the driver's behavior while driving and identifying risk factors, it is possible to improve driving safety.

[0131] The scoring unit can estimate the driver's emotions while driving and adjust the method for displaying the scoring results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the driver is feeling stressed, the scoring unit can provide a simple, highly visible display method. If the driver is relaxed, the scoring unit can also provide a display method that includes detailed information. If the driver is tired, the scoring unit can also provide a display method that focuses on the main points. This allows for more appropriate display by adjusting the method for displaying the scoring results based on the driver's emotions.

[0132] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0133] Step 1: The collection unit collects data from cameras and sensors. For example, it records the vehicle's behavior and the driver's actions in detail while driving, collecting data such as sudden braking, sudden acceleration, lane departure, and the driver's gaze and hand movements. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and evaluates driving safety. For example, it analyzes the number of sudden braking, frequency of sudden acceleration, and number of lane departures to quantify driving safety. Step 3: The scoring unit performs scoring based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit, for example, based on the number of sudden braking incidents, the frequency of sudden acceleration, and the number of lane departures. Step 4: The calculation unit calculates the insurance premium based on the score obtained by the scoring unit. For example, if the score is high, the insurance premium is set low, and if the score is low, the insurance premium is set high. Step 5: The sharing department shares information if the score falls below a certain standard. For example, if the score is low, the information is provided to family members or the police, and used as reference information when proposing license surrender or license renewal. Step 6: The notification unit notifies the specified recipients of the information via the sharing unit. For example, the notification unit notifies family members and suggests that the driver surrender his / her license. The information is also provided to the police, who use it as reference information when renewing the driver's license.

Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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.

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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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).

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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."

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.
