[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a device equipped with a generative AI to record and analyze a subject's daily conversations, enabling early detection of early symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer's. In this system, the subject and the generative AI converse daily. The generative AI records the content of the conversation, speaking style, and the time between question and answer. The system analyzes the recorded data to detect abnormalities and notifies the subject's family or doctor if an abnormality is detected. For example, the generative AI might ask, "What did you do today?" and the subject responds, "I went for a walk today." The content of the conversation, speaking style, and the time between question and answer are recorded. The recorded data is then analyzed by the generative AI. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the conversation and detect abnormalities. For example, if the subject's speaking style suddenly changes or their reaction time slows, the generative AI detects this as an abnormality. If an abnormality is detected, the system notifies the subject's family or doctor. For example, the generative AI might send a notification saying, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style." This allows treatment to begin before the initial symptoms appear. This allows the system to record and analyze the subject's everyday conversations, making it possible to detect early symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer's at an early stage and notify family members or doctors. For example, if early symptoms of Alzheimer's are detected, early treatment can be started to slow the progression of the condition.
[0029] A conversation analysis system according to an embodiment includes a recording unit, an analysis unit, and a notification unit. The recording unit records the content of a conversation between a subject and a generation AI, the speaking style, and the time from a question to an answer. For example, the recording unit saves the content of a conversation between the subject and the generation AI as text data. The recording unit can also record characteristics of the subject's speaking style (e.g., tone of voice, speed, accent, etc.) as audio data. The recording unit can also measure the time from a question to an answer in seconds and save the data. For example, the recording unit measures the time between the question and the answer when the generation AI asks, "What did you do today?" and the subject replies, "I went for a walk today." The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the data recorded by the recording unit and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation using natural language processing technology and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation using morphological analysis and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also analyze changes in the subject's speaking style and reaction time to detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit analyzes changes in the tone or speed of the subject's voice to detect abnormalities. The notification unit notifies a family member or a doctor based on the abnormality detected by the analysis unit. For example, when an abnormality is detected, the notification unit notifies a family member or a doctor by email or app notification. For example, the notification unit sends a notification stating, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style." In this way, the conversation analysis system according to the embodiment can detect abnormalities early and notify a family member or a doctor by recording and analyzing the subject's everyday conversations.
[0030] The recording unit can record the content of the conversation between the subject and the generating AI (e.g., a chatbot), the speaking style, and the time from question to answer. For example, the recording unit saves the content of the conversation between the subject and the generating AI as text data. The recording unit can also record the subject's speaking characteristics (e.g., tone of voice, speed, accent, etc.) as audio data. Furthermore, the recording unit can measure the time from question to answer in seconds and save the data. For example, the recording unit measures the time between the generating AI asking, "What did you do today?" and the subject responding, "I went for a walk today." This allows for detailed recording of the content of the conversation between the subject and the generating AI, the speaking style, and the reaction time. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the recording unit can save the content of the conversation by the generating AI as text data, record speaking characteristics as audio data, and measure the time from question to answer.
[0031] The analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation using natural language processing technology (e.g., morphological analysis) and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation using natural language processing technology, for example, and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation using morphological analysis and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the conversation using grammatical analysis and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the conversation using semantic analysis and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can break down the content of the conversation into smaller parts using morphological analysis and detect anomalies. Grammatical analysis analyzes the grammatical structure of the conversation and detects anomalies. Semantic analysis analyzes the meaning of the conversation and detects anomalies. In this way, by using natural language processing technology, the content of the conversation can be analyzed in detail and anomalies can be detected. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation using a generation AI and detect anomalies.
[0032] The notification unit can notify family members or the doctor in charge when an abnormality (e.g., abnormalities in the content of conversation or speaking style) is detected. For example, when an abnormality is detected, the notification unit notifies the family members or the doctor in charge by email or app notification. For example, the notification unit sends a notification stating, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style." The notification unit can also send a notification including details of the abnormality. For example, the notification unit sends a notification stating, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style. Specifically, the tone of voice suddenly changed and reaction time became slower." Furthermore, the notification unit can have a function to automatically call an emergency contact when an abnormality is detected. For example, when an abnormality is detected, the notification unit automatically calls the family members or the doctor in charge to notify them of the abnormality. This allows the family members or the doctor in charge to be promptly notified when an abnormality is detected. Some or all of the above-described processing by the notification unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the notification unit can notify the family members or the doctor in charge of an abnormality detected by the generation AI.
[0033] The analysis unit can analyze changes in the speaking style and reaction time of the subject and detect abnormalities (e.g., changes in speaking style and abnormal reaction time). The analysis unit can, for example, analyze changes in the speaking style and reaction time of the subject and detect abnormalities. For example, the analysis unit can analyze changes in the tone and speed of the subject's voice and detect abnormalities. The analysis unit can also analyze delays in the subject's reaction time and detect abnormalities. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the speaking pattern of the subject and detect abnormalities. For example, the analysis unit analyzes changes in the tone of the subject's voice and detects abnormalities. Regarding changes in speed, an abnormality is detected when the speaking speed of the subject suddenly slows down or speeds up. Regarding delays in reaction time, an abnormality is detected when the time between a question and an answer becomes longer than usual. Regarding speaking pattern, an abnormality is detected when the speaking style of the subject lacks consistency. In this way, by analyzing changes in the speaking style and reaction time of the subject, abnormalities can be detected early. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit may use the generation AI to analyze changes in the subject's speaking style or reaction time and detect abnormalities.
[0034] The notification unit can send an abnormality detected by the generation AI (e.g., a chatbot) to a family member or a doctor via email or app notification. For example, the notification unit can send an email or app notification of an abnormality detected by the generation AI to a family member or a doctor. For example, the notification unit can send a notification stating, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style." The notification unit can also send a notification including details of the abnormality. For example, the notification unit can send a notification stating, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style. Specifically, the subject's tone of voice suddenly changed and their reaction time became slower." The notification unit can also have a function to automatically call an emergency contact when an abnormality is detected. For example, the notification unit can automatically call a family member or a doctor to notify them of the abnormality when an abnormality is detected. This allows the family member or a doctor to be promptly notified by email or app notification when an abnormality is detected. Some or all of the above-described processing by the notification unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can notify a family member or a doctor of an abnormality detected by the generation AI.
[0035] The recording unit can analyze the subject's past conversation history and select the optimal recording method (e.g., audio recording, text recording). The recording unit, for example, analyzes the subject's past conversation history and selects the optimal recording method. For example, the recording unit prioritizes recording topics that the subject has frequently talked about in the past. The recording unit can also adjust the recording method for conversations during a specific time period based on the subject's past conversation history. Furthermore, the recording unit can analyze trends in the content of conversations that the subject has previously talked about and optimize the recording method. For example, the recording unit prioritizes recording topics that the subject has previously talked about. Adjusts the recording method for conversations during a specific time period. Analyzes trends in the content of conversations that have previously been talked about and optimizes the recording method. In this way, the optimal recording method can be selected by analyzing the past conversation history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can use a generation AI to analyze the subject's past conversation history and select the optimal recording method.
[0036] The recording unit can filter (e.g., extract important conversation content) based on the subject's current health condition and living situation when recording a conversation. The recording unit can filter (e.g., extract important conversation content) based on the subject's current health condition and living situation when recording a conversation. For example, when the subject is in poor health, the recording unit simplifies the conversation record and records only the minimum necessary information. Furthermore, when the subject is healthy, the recording unit can record detailed conversation content and collect more data. Furthermore, the recording unit can adjust the conversation recording method according to the subject's living situation. For example, when the subject is in poor health, the recording unit simplifies the conversation record and records only the minimum necessary information. When the subject is healthy, the recording unit records detailed conversation content and collects more data. The conversation recording method is adjusted according to the living situation. In this way, by adjusting the conversation recording method according to the subject's health condition and living situation, more appropriate data can be collected. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the recording unit allows the generating AI to filter based on the subject's health condition and living situation.
[0037] When recording a conversation, the recording unit can select the optimal recording means depending on the input method of the subject (e.g., voice, text, gesture). When recording a conversation, the recording unit can select the optimal recording means depending on the input method of the subject. For example, when the subject speaks by voice, the recording unit records the conversation content using voice recognition technology. Furthermore, when the subject speaks by text, the recording unit can also record the text input. Furthermore, when the subject speaks by gesture, the recording unit can also record the conversation content using gesture recognition technology. For example, when the subject speaks by voice, the recording unit records the conversation content using voice recognition technology. When the subject speaks by text, the recording unit records the text input. When the subject speaks by gesture, the recording unit records the conversation content using gesture recognition technology. In this way, by selecting the optimal recording means depending on the input method of the subject, more accurate data can be collected. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can have a generation AI select the optimal recording means depending on the input method of the subject.
[0038] When recording a conversation, the recording unit can prioritize recording highly relevant conversations by taking into account the geographical location information of the subject. For example, when recording a conversation, the recording unit prioritizes recording highly relevant conversations by taking into account the geographical location information of the subject. For example, when the subject is in a specific location, the recording unit prioritizes recording conversation content related to the location. Furthermore, when the subject is traveling, the recording unit can also prioritize recording conversation content related to traveling. Furthermore, when the subject is at home, the recording unit can prioritize recording conversation content related to daily life. For example, when the subject is in a specific location, the recording unit prioritizes recording conversation content related to the location. When traveling, the recording unit prioritizes recording conversation content related to traveling. When at home, the recording unit prioritizes recording conversation content related to daily life. This allows more useful data to be collected by prioritizing recording highly relevant conversations based on the geographical location information of the subject. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can prioritize recording highly relevant conversations by using a generation AI to consider the geographical location information of the subject.

This makes it possible to provide more accurate analysis results by utilizing past medical data.
[0056] When an abnormality is detected, the notification unit can notify not only the subject's family and doctor, but also local nursing care services and support organizations. For example, when an abnormality is detected, the notification unit notifies local nursing care services by email or app notification. The notification unit can also notify support organizations, including details of the abnormality. Furthermore, in an emergency, the notification unit can automatically call local nursing care services to notify them of the abnormality. This allows for a rapid response in cooperation with the local support network when an abnormality is detected.
[0057] When recording the content of a conversation of a subject, the recording unit can classify conversation topics based on the subject's hobbies and interests and preferentially record conversations related to specific topics. For example, if the subject is interested in music, the recording unit can preferentially record conversations related to music. Also, if the subject is interested in sports, the recording unit can record conversations related to sports in detail. Furthermore, if the subject is interested in traveling, the recording unit can particularly carefully record conversations related to travel. This makes it possible to collect more useful data according to the subject's hobbies and interests.
[0058] When analyzing the content of a subject's conversation, the analysis unit can adjust the analysis algorithm taking into account the subject's cultural background and linguistic characteristics. For example, if the subject speaks a specific dialect, the analysis unit applies an analysis algorithm that corresponds to that dialect. The analysis unit can also reflect specific cultural expressions and phrases in the analysis based on the subject's cultural background. Furthermore, if the subject speaks multiple languages, the analysis unit can apply analysis algorithms that correspond to multiple languages.

[0059] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0060] Step 1: The recording unit records the content of the conversation between the subject and the generating AI, the speaking style, and the time from question to answer. For example, the recording unit saves the content of the subject's conversation with the generating AI as text data. The recording unit can also record the subject's speaking style characteristics (e.g., tone of voice, speed, accent, etc.) as audio data. Furthermore, the recording unit can measure the time from question to answer in seconds and save this as data. For example, the recording unit measures the time between the generating AI asking, "What did you do today?" and the subject replying, "I went for a walk today." Step 2: The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the data recorded by the recording unit and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the conversation and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation and detect anomalies using morphological analysis. The analysis unit can also analyze changes in the subject's speaking style and reaction time to detect anomalies.

[0061] (Example 2) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a device equipped with a generative AI to record and analyze a subject's daily conversations, enabling early detection of early symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer's. In this system, the subject and the generative AI converse daily. The generative AI records the content of the conversation, speaking style, and the time between question and answer. The system analyzes the recorded data to detect abnormalities and notifies the subject's family or doctor if an abnormality is detected. For example, the generative AI might ask, "What did you do today?" and the subject responds, "I went for a walk today." The content of the conversation, speaking style, and the time between question and answer are recorded. The recorded data is then analyzed by the generative AI. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the conversation and detect abnormalities. For example, if the subject's speaking style suddenly changes or their reaction time slows, the generative AI detects this as an abnormality. If an abnormality is detected, the system notifies the subject's family or doctor. For example, the generative AI might send a notification saying, "An abnormality has been observed in the subject's speaking style." This allows treatment to begin before the initial symptoms appear. This allows the system to record and analyze the subject's everyday conversations, making it possible to detect early symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer's at an early stage and notify family members or doctors. For example, if early symptoms of Alzheimer's are detected, early treatment can be started to slow the progression of the condition.

[0103] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0104] Step 1: The recording unit records the content of the conversation between the subject and the generating AI, the speaking style, and the time from question to answer. For example, the recording unit saves the content of the subject's conversation with the generating AI as text data. The recording unit can also record the subject's speaking style characteristics (e.g., tone of voice, speed, accent, etc.) as audio data. Furthermore, the recording unit can measure the time from question to answer in seconds and save this as data.

An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. 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 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.

[0157] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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).
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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."
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
