[0028] (Example 1) An automation tool maintenance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for reducing the labor required for maintaining automation tools and performing the work more efficiently than manual work. This system automates automation tool maintenance using a generation AI. Specifically, the generation AI collects and analyzes operation logs and error logs of the automation tool. Then, based on the analysis results, the generation AI automatically performs maintenance work on the automation tool. For example, the generation AI identifies the cause of an error and makes necessary corrections or optimizes settings. Furthermore, the generation AI records the results of the maintenance work and provides feedback to be used for the next maintenance. This mechanism significantly reduces the labor required for automation tool maintenance and enables work to be performed more efficiently than manual work. For example, the generation AI collects and analyzes operation logs and error logs of the automation tool. Based on the analysis results, the generation AI identifies the cause of an error and makes necessary corrections. The generation AI also optimizes settings and records the results of the maintenance work. Based on the recorded results, it provides feedback to be used for the next maintenance. This significantly reduces the labor required for automation tool maintenance and enables work to be performed more efficiently than manual work. As a result, the automated tool maintenance system reduces the amount of work required to maintain automated tools, allowing work to be performed more efficiently than manual work.
[0029] An automation tool maintenance system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a correction unit, an optimization unit, a recording unit, and a feedback unit. The collection unit collects operation logs and error logs of the automation tool. The collection unit collects operation logs, such as the system's operating status, error messages, and performance data. The collection unit can also collect error logs, such as error codes, error messages, and occurrence times. The analysis unit analyzes the collected logs and identifies the cause of the error. The analysis unit performs analysis using, for example, log pattern matching, statistical analysis, or a machine learning algorithm. The correction unit corrects the error based on the analysis results. The correction unit performs correction using, for example, a correction procedure based on the error code or an automatic correction script. The optimization unit optimizes settings based on the analysis results. The optimization unit performs, for example, performance tuning and resource allocation adjustment. The recording unit records the results of maintenance work performed by the correction unit and the optimization unit. The recording unit stores the results in a log file or records them in a database. The feedback unit provides feedback based on the recorded results. The feedback unit adjusts, for example, the method of notifying the user and the format of the feedback content, thereby enabling the automation tool maintenance system according to the embodiment to reduce the number of steps required for maintenance of the automation tool and perform the work more efficiently than manual work.
[0030] The collection unit can dynamically change the type of logs to be collected depending on the operating status of the automation tool. For example, when the automation tool is operating normally, the collection unit causes the generation AI to collect only basic operation logs. Furthermore, when an abnormality occurs in the automation tool, the collection unit can also cause the generation AI to collect detailed error logs. Furthermore, when the operation of the automation tool is unstable, the collection unit can cause the generation AI to collect both operation logs and error logs to assist in identifying the problem. This enables efficient data collection by changing the type of logs depending on the operating status. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the collection unit can input operating status data of the automation tool to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to change the type of logs to be collected.
[0031] The collection unit can add a trigger function that starts collecting logs immediately when a specific error occurs during log collection. For example, when a specific error message occurs, the collection unit causes the generation AI to immediately start collecting detailed error logs. The collection unit can also cause the generation AI to start collecting operation logs when system performance suddenly drops. The collection unit can also cause the generation AI to start collecting logs related to a specific operation when a user performs that operation. This allows for rapid problem resolution by immediately starting log collection when a specific error occurs. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input data that detects a specific error message into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a log collection trigger.
[0032] The collection unit can optimize the collection method by taking into account the network status when collecting logs. For example, when the network is congested, the collection unit causes the generation AI to set a low log collection frequency. Furthermore, when the network is stable, the collection unit can also cause the generation AI to collect detailed logs. Furthermore, when the network is unstable, the collection unit can also cause the generation AI to prioritize the collection of only important logs. This enables efficient data collection by optimizing the collection method according to the network status. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input network status data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to optimize the collection method.

[0100] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0101] The analysis unit can analyze the user's emotions and adjust the depth of the analysis based on the analyzed user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation AI will perform a simple analysis to avoid placing a burden on the user. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the generation AI can perform a detailed analysis and provide more information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation AI can perform a quick analysis and provide only the necessary information. This allows the depth of analysis to be adjusted according to the user's emotions, making it possible to provide the most appropriate information for the user.
[0102] The correction unit can analyze the user's emotions when making corrections and adjust the timing of the corrections based on the analyzed user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation AI can postpone the correction work and make the corrections when the user is relaxed. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the generation AI can make the corrections quickly so as not to interrupt the user's work. In this way, the burden on the user can be reduced by adjusting the timing of corrections according to the user's emotions.
[0103] During optimization, the optimization unit can analyze the user's emotions and adjust the frequency of optimization based on the analyzed user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation AI can set the optimization frequency low to reduce the user's burden. Also, if the user is relaxed, the generation AI can set the optimization frequency high to maximize system performance. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation AI can prioritize only important optimizations. This allows for efficient system operation by adjusting the optimization frequency according to the user's emotions.
[0104] The recording unit can analyze the user's emotions during recording and adjust the level of detail of the recording based on the analyzed user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation AI will record briefly, reducing the user's burden. If the user is relaxed, the generation AI will record in detail and provide more information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation AI can record quickly and provide only the necessary information. This allows the level of detail of the recording to be adjusted according to the user's emotions, making it possible to provide the user with the most appropriate information.
[0105] The feedback unit can analyze the user's emotions when providing feedback and adjust the timing of the feedback based on the analyzed user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation AI can postpone providing feedback until a time when the user is relaxed. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the generation AI can provide feedback quickly so as not to interrupt the user's work. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on the user by adjusting the timing of feedback according to the user's emotions.
[0106] When collecting logs, the collection unit can also integrate and collect data from other systems. For example, it can integrate and collect operation logs and error logs of automation tools. It can also collect and integrate performance data from other systems. It can also collect and integrate user operation logs from other systems. This allows for comprehensive data collection by integrating and collecting data from other systems.
[0107] During analysis, the analysis unit can combine different analysis algorithms to identify the cause of an error from multiple angles. For example, the generation AI can combine machine learning algorithms and rule-based algorithms to identify the cause of an error. The generation AI can also run different analysis algorithms in parallel and select the most reliable result. Furthermore, the generation AI can integrate the results of different analysis algorithms to identify the overall cause of an error. This combination of different analysis algorithms improves the accuracy of identifying the cause of an error.
[0108] When making corrections, the correction unit can refer to past correction history to select the optimal correction method. For example, the generation AI can refer to past correction history to select the optimal correction method for a similar error. The generation AI can also identify the cause of the error based on past correction history and propose the optimal correction method. Furthermore, the generation AI can analyze past correction history and propose measures to prevent the error from recurring. In this way, the optimal correction method can be selected by referring to past correction history.
[0109] The optimization unit can perform optimization taking into account the system load status. For example, the generation AI performs optimization when the system load is low. The generation AI can also postpone optimization when the system load is high. Furthermore, the generation AI can adjust the scope of optimization depending on the system load status. This allows for efficient optimization by performing optimization according to the system load status.
[0110] When recording, the recording unit can also integrate and record data from other systems. For example, the generation AI can integrate and record the operation log and error log of an automation tool. The generation AI can also integrate and record performance data from other systems. Furthermore, the generation AI can also integrate and record user operation logs from other systems. This allows for comprehensive recording by integrating and recording data from other systems.
[0111] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0112] Step 1: The collection unit collects operation logs and error logs of the automation tool. The collection unit collects operation logs such as the system's operating status, error messages, and performance data. The collection unit can also collect error logs such as error codes, error messages, and the time of occurrence. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the collected logs and identifies the cause of the error. The analysis unit performs the analysis using, for example, log pattern matching, statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, etc. Step 3: The correction unit corrects the error based on the analysis result. For example, the correction unit performs the correction using a correction procedure based on the error code or an automatic correction script. Step 4: The optimization unit optimizes the settings based on the analysis results. The optimization unit performs, for example, performance tuning and resource allocation adjustment. Step 5: The recording unit records the results of the maintenance work performed by the correction unit and the optimization unit, for example, by saving the results in a log file or recording them in a database. Step 6: The feedback unit provides feedback based on the recorded results. For example, the feedback unit adjusts the notification method to the user and the format of the feedback content.
[0113] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12.

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 (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats of voice data, text data, image data, etc. 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 may perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-mentioned parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. The processing performed by an AI including the generative AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI including the generative AI.

The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.
[0152] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0153] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0154] 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).
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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 including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image 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 models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.
[0164] 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.
[0165] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).
[0170] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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.
[0171] 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."
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
