Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A disaster prevention system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes a generative AI to prevent disaster damage. This system predicts disaster risks by inputting aerial photographs, maps, and actual disaster situations into the generative AI as training data. For example, it can predict the risk of landslides and levee breaches caused by heavy rain. This enables appropriate countermeasures to be taken before a disaster occurs. Furthermore, the generative AI promotes evacuation based on the prediction results. For example, it can send messages urging early evacuation to residents in areas at high risk of disasters. This ensures the safety of residents. The generative AI also provides consulting services to municipal governments to enhance regional disaster prevention capabilities. For example, it can propose disaster prevention measures to be taken in areas at high risk of disasters. This improves the disaster prevention capabilities of the entire region. This system protects people from disasters and minimizes damage. For example, even in the case of a disaster that caused damage totaling approximately 651.2 billion yen in 2020, taking appropriate countermeasures in advance can mitigate damage. As a result, the disaster prevention system can predict disaster risks, promote evacuation, and provide consulting services to municipal governments to prevent disaster damage.

The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past disaster data and identifying similar disaster patterns. The analysis unit can also analyze past disaster data and improve the accuracy by improving the analysis algorithm. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis is improved by comparing it with past disaster data. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input past disaster data into the generation AI and have the generation AI improve the accuracy of the analysis.

[0036] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis based on regional infrastructure information.

For example, the analysis unit can input data from academic papers into the generation AI and have the generation AI improve the analysis algorithm.

[0038] When sending an evacuation message, the promotion unit can optimize the message delivery method based on the resident's attribute information. For example, the promotion unit may prioritize sending voice messages to elderly people. The promotion unit may also prioritize sending text messages to younger people. The promotion unit may also send an appropriate message depending on family composition. In this way, by optimizing the message delivery method based on the resident's attribute information, a more effective evacuation message can be sent. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the promotion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the promotion unit may input the resident's attribute data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to optimize the message delivery method.

[0039] When transmitting an evacuation message, the promotion unit can refer to past evacuation history to improve the effectiveness of the message. The promotion unit, for example, transmits an effective message based on past evacuation history. The promotion unit can also refer to past evacuation history to transmit a message encouraging evacuation behavior. The promotion unit can also analyze past evacuation history and transmit an optimal message. In this way, by referring to past evacuation history, a more effective evacuation message can be transmitted. Some or all of the above-described processing in the promotion unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the promotion unit can input past evacuation history data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the effectiveness of the message.

[0040] When sending an evacuation message, the promotion unit can select an appropriate transmission method based on the state of the local communication infrastructure.

In areas with unstable communication infrastructure, the promotion unit can also send a voice message. In areas where communication infrastructure is unstable, the promotion unit can also send a message via radio or television. This allows for more effective evacuation messages to be sent by taking into account the state of the local communication infrastructure. Some or all of the above-described processing in the promotion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the promotion unit can input local communication infrastructure data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select a transmission method.

[0041] When sending an evacuation message, the promotion unit can spread the message widely by utilizing social media. The promotion unit, for example, quickly spreads the evacuation message through social media. The promotion unit can also use social media followers to spread the evacuation message widely. The promotion unit can also use social media hashtags to effectively spread the evacuation message. In this way, by utilizing social media, the evacuation message can be spread quickly and widely. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the promotion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the promotion unit can input social media posting data into the generation AI and have the generation AI spread the message.

[0042] During consulting, the consulting department can propose appropriate disaster prevention measures by referring to the local disaster prevention plan. For example, the consulting department can propose optimal evacuation routes based on the local disaster prevention plan. The consulting department can also propose the installation of necessary disaster prevention equipment by referring to the local disaster prevention plan. The consulting department can also propose an educational program to raise residents' disaster prevention awareness by taking the local disaster prevention plan into consideration.

The consulting department, for example, improves the content of proposals based on past consulting results. The consulting department can also analyze past consulting results to propose effective disaster prevention measures. The consulting department can also refer to past consulting results to propose disaster prevention measures tailored to the characteristics of each region. In this way, the accuracy of proposals is improved by analyzing past consulting results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the consulting department may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the consulting department can input past consulting result data into a generation AI and have the generation AI improve the accuracy of proposals.

[0044] During consulting, the consulting department can propose appropriate disaster prevention measures based on the economic situation of the region. For example, the consulting department can propose cost-effective disaster prevention measures based on the economic situation of the region. The consulting department can also propose disaster prevention measures that can be implemented within a budget, taking into account the economic situation of the region. The consulting department can also refer to the economic situation of the region and propose disaster prevention measures from a long-term perspective. This makes it possible to propose cost-effective disaster prevention measures by taking into account the economic situation of the region. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the consulting department may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the consulting department can input regional economic data into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the disaster prevention measure proposals.

[0046] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0047] The collection unit can track the movement patterns of residents in high-risk disaster areas in real time and determine the need for evacuation. For example, the collection unit can use GPS data to monitor residents' movements and determine the number of people staying in a specific area. The collection unit can also analyze traffic data to determine the congestion status of evacuation routes in real time. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect location information from residents' smartphones and check the progress of evacuation. This allows the collection unit to determine the need for evacuation based on residents' movement patterns and promote evacuation at the appropriate time.

[0048] When sending an evacuation message, the promotion unit can adjust the content of the message based on the health status of the resident. For example, a message containing medical support information necessary for evacuation can be sent to a resident in poor health. A regular evacuation message can also be sent to a resident in good health. Furthermore, a message containing points to be careful about when evacuating can also be sent to a resident with a specific health risk. In this way, the promotion unit can adjust the content of the evacuation message according to the health status of the resident and promote more effective evacuation.

[0049] The collection unit can collect environmental data in high-disaster-risk areas in real time and provide it to the analysis unit. For example, the collection unit can use sensors to measure soil humidity and temperature. The collection unit can also use drones to collect image data from the air and monitor changes in the terrain. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect meteorological data in real time and use it to predict heavy rain and strong winds. In this way, the collection unit can collect environmental data in high-disaster-risk areas in real time and provide it to the analysis unit, thereby achieving more accurate disaster risk predictions.

[0050] When sending an evacuation message, the promotion unit can provide the content of the message in multiple languages ​​based on the language of the residents. For example, the message can be sent in English to English-speaking residents. The message can also be sent in Chinese to Chinese-speaking residents. Furthermore, the message can be sent in Spanish to Spanish-speaking residents. In this way, the promotion unit can provide the content of the evacuation message in multiple languages ​​according to the language of the residents, and promote more effective evacuation.

[0051] The collection unit can monitor the behavioral patterns of animals in areas with a high risk of disaster and detect signs of disaster. For example, the collection unit can collect movement data of wild animals and detect abnormal behavior. The collection unit can also collect behavioral data of livestock and monitor abnormal behavior. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect behavioral data of pets and detect abnormal behavior. In this way, by monitoring animal behavioral patterns, the collection unit can detect signs of disaster early and take appropriate measures.

[0052] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0053] Step 1: The collection unit collects aerial photographs, maps, and actual disaster situations. For example, the collection unit can collect satellite photographs, drone photographs, topographical maps, etc. The collection unit can also collect situations of disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and fires. For example, the collection unit can collect data periodically. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and predicts disaster risks. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the data using a machine learning algorithm and predict disaster risks. The analysis unit can also refer to past disaster data to improve the accuracy of disaster risk predictions. Step 3: The promotion unit promotes evacuation based on the disaster risk predicted by the analysis unit. For example, the promotion unit can send a message to residents in areas with high disaster risk, urging them to evacuate early. The promotion unit can also provide evacuation route guidance. Step 4: The Consulting Department provides consultation to municipal governments based on the disaster risks predicted by the Analysis Department. For example, the Consulting Department can propose what kind of disaster prevention measures should be taken in areas with high disaster risk. The Consulting Department can also propose the installation of disaster prevention equipment and the implementation of disaster prevention drills.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
