[0028] (Example 1) The audio glasses system according to an embodiment of the present invention incorporates an AI camera built into the audio glasses. The camera automatically analyzes people and objects recognized by the lenses and provides voice navigation. In this audio glasses system, the AI ​​camera built into the audio glasses first recognizes people and objects in the vicinity. The AI ​​then analyzes the information recognized by the AI ​​and provides voice navigation to the user. For example, if a user is searching for a specific person, the AI ​​camera recognizes the person and provides voice guidance to the person's location. Similarly, if a user is searching for a specific object, the AI ​​camera recognizes the object and provides voice guidance. This system allows users to grasp information about their surroundings without relying on their vision, making it extremely useful for the visually impaired and elderly. For example, the AI ​​camera includes a "recognition unit" that recognizes people and objects in the vicinity, and an "analysis unit" that analyzes the recognition results. Next, a "navigation unit" provides voice navigation based on the analysis results. These components are interrelated. The recognition unit uses face recognition and object recognition technology, while the analysis unit analyzes data from the recognition unit. The navigation unit provides voice navigation based on the data from the analysis unit. It is important to include specific details of voice navigation, such as the type of voice, the voice output method, and the voice customization function. This makes the audio glasses system extremely useful for visually impaired people and the elderly, as it allows them to grasp information about their surroundings without relying on their vision.

[0029] The audio glasses system according to the embodiment includes a recognition unit, an analysis unit, and a navigation unit. The recognition unit recognizes people and objects in the vicinity. The recognition unit uses, for example, face recognition technology and object recognition technology. The face recognition technology is realized using technologies such as deep learning and pattern matching. The object recognition technology is realized using technologies such as YOLO (You Only Look Once), SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector), and Faster R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks). For example, the recognition unit can recognize faces using deep learning. The recognition unit can also recognize objects using YOLO. Furthermore, the recognition unit can recognize specific patterns using pattern matching. The analysis unit analyzes the information recognized by the recognition unit. The analysis unit performs analysis based on, for example, the type of data and an analysis algorithm. The analysis algorithm includes, for example, a machine learning algorithm and a statistical analysis algorithm. For example, the analysis unit can analyze data using a machine learning algorithm. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze data using a statistical analysis algorithm. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze data using data mining technology. The navigation unit performs voice navigation based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The navigation unit includes, for example, a voice type, a voice output method, and a voice customization function. Voice types include, for example, male voices, female voices, robot voices, etc. Voice output methods include, for example, speakers, earphones, and bone conduction. Voice customization functions include, for example, volume adjustment, voice speed adjustment, and voice tone change. For example, the navigation unit can perform voice navigation using a male voice. The navigation unit can also output voice using a speaker. Furthermore, the navigation unit can output voice by adjusting the volume. As a result, the audio glasses system according to the embodiment can recognize and analyze surrounding people and objects and provide voice navigation.

[0030] The recognition unit can use face recognition or object recognition technology. Face recognition is achieved using technologies such as deep learning and pattern matching. Deep learning uses large amounts of data to train a model and achieve high-precision face recognition. For example, face recognition using deep learning extracts facial feature points and recognizes faces based on them. Pattern matching compares pre-registered face patterns with patterns in an input image to determine whether they match. For example, face recognition using pattern matching recognizes faces based on facial contours and features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. Object recognition is achieved using technologies such as YOLO (You Only Look Once), SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector), and Faster R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks). YOLO processes the entire image at once and simultaneously predicts the location and class of an object. For example, object recognition using YOLO can quickly recognize multiple objects in an image. SSD divides an image into multiple grids and predicts the location and class of an object for each grid. For example, object recognition technology using SSD achieves high-speed, high-accuracy object recognition. Faster R-CNN is a technology that combines a region proposal network (RPN), which proposes the location of an object in an image, with a classification network, which predicts the object class. For example, object recognition technology using Faster R-CNN achieves high-accuracy object recognition. This improves recognition accuracy when using face recognition technology or object recognition technology.

[0031] The navigation unit may include a voice type, a voice output method, and a voice customization function. Voice types include, for example, a male voice, a female voice, a robot voice, etc. For example, the navigation unit can provide voice navigation using a male voice. The navigation unit can also provide voice navigation using a female voice. The navigation unit can also provide voice navigation using a robot voice. Voice output methods include, for example, a speaker, earphones, bone conduction, etc. For example, the navigation unit can output voice using a speaker. The navigation unit can also output voice using earphones. The navigation unit can also output voice using bone conduction. Voice customization functions include, for example, volume adjustment, voice speed adjustment, and voice tone change. For example, the navigation unit can output voice by adjusting the volume. The navigation unit can also output voice by adjusting the voice speed. The navigation unit can also output voice by changing the voice tone. Thus, by including voice types, output methods, and customization functions, navigation suited to the user is possible.

[0139] 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.

[0140] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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).

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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."

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.
