[0028] (Example 1) A childcare support system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides support to mothers and fathers facing childcare challenges, offering solutions and keeping necessary records. This system is compatible with multiple devices, including smartphones and smart speakers. Parents simply speak to the system to provide instructions and advice, and the system performs recording, searches, applications, and orders. The system also provides suggestions and prompts to parents as needed. For example, parents may speak to their smartphones or smart speakers to provide instructions or advice. For example, they may issue commands such as "Keep a record of today's childcare" or "Order baby formula." These commands are input into a generation AI, which then analyzes the input and performs appropriate processing. For example, when keeping a childcare record, the generation AI analyzes the parent's statements and automatically creates a childcare record. When ordering formula, the generation AI searches for an appropriate online store and completes the order. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the parent's concerns and offers appropriate solutions. For example, when a parent consults the system about a baby's nighttime crying, the generation AI proposes solutions based on past data and expert advice. The system will also make suggestions and calls to parents as needed. For example, it will provide regular childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth and remind them of vaccination schedules. This system reduces the burden on parents in childcare and allows them to raise their children more efficiently. For example, by automatically creating childcare records, parents can save time and focus on raising their children. In addition, the generative AI can suggest appropriate solutions, making it easier for parents to resolve their childcare concerns. In this way, the childcare support system reduces the burden on parents in childcare and allows them to raise their children more efficiently.

[0029] A childcare support system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a recording unit, and an order unit. The reception unit receives instructions or inquiries from parents.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the ordering unit may be performed using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the ordering unit causes an AI to search online stores and perform the ordering process.

[0030] The analysis unit can analyze the parent's consultation content and present an appropriate solution. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the parent's consultation content using text analysis or voice analysis. For example, if a parent complains that "my baby cries a lot at night," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to present a solution based on past data and expert advice. The analysis unit can analyze the parent's consultation content and present an appropriate solution using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs a prompt to the generation AI, such as "Please tell me how to solve my baby's night crying problem," and the generation AI outputs a solution based on past data and expert advice. This makes it possible to present an appropriate solution based on the parent's consultation content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the parent's consultation content to the generation AI, and the generation AI outputs a solution.

[0031] The analysis unit can propose a solution based on past data or expert advice. The analysis unit, for example, proposes a solution using past data. For example, the analysis unit can propose a solution based on past consultation history and statistical data. The analysis unit can also propose a solution based on expert advice. For example, the analysis unit proposes a solution based on a doctor's opinion or guidelines from a childcare expert. The analysis unit can use a generation AI to propose a solution based on past data and expert advice. For example, the analysis unit inputs past consultation history and statistical data into the generation AI, which then outputs a solution. This makes it possible to propose a more accurate solution based on past data and expert advice. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs past data and expert advice into the generation AI, which then outputs a solution.

[0032] The recording unit can record information about the baby's diet, sleep, excretion, and body temperature. For example, the recording unit records the content and amount of the baby's diet. For example, the recording unit records what the baby ate and how much it ate. The recording unit can also record the baby's sleep time. For example, the recording unit records what time the baby went to bed and what time the baby woke up. The recording unit can also record the number of times the baby excretes and the condition of the excretion. For example, the recording unit can record how many times the baby excretes and the condition of the excretion. The recording unit can also record the results of measuring the baby's body temperature. For example, the recording unit measures the baby's body temperature and records the results. This makes it possible to record detailed information about the baby. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the recording unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit inputs information about the baby's diet, sleep, excretion, and body temperature into AI, which then creates a record.

[0033] The ordering unit can search for an appropriate online store and carry out the order process. The ordering unit, for example, orders childcare products such as baby milk and diapers from an online store. For example, the ordering unit searches for an appropriate online store and orders milk and diapers. The ordering unit can also select an online store based on product quality, delivery speed, user reviews, etc. For example, the ordering unit selects an online store with high user reviews and carries out the order process. The ordering unit can also use AI to search for an appropriate online store and automatically carry out the order process. For example, the ordering unit has AI perform the online store search and order process. This allows the online store to be searched and the order process to be carried out automatically. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the ordering unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the ordering unit has AI perform the online store search and order process.

[0034] The analysis unit can periodically provide childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth. The analysis unit, for example, provides dietary advice tailored to the baby's growth. For example, the analysis unit advises on the content and amount of food according to the baby's age. The analysis unit can also provide sleep advice tailored to the baby's growth. For example, the analysis unit advises on sleep times and how to put the baby to sleep according to the baby's age. The analysis unit can also provide health management advice tailored to the baby's growth. For example, the analysis unit advises on vaccination schedules and health check methods according to the baby's age. This makes it possible to periodically provide childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth into the generation AI, and the generation AI outputs the advice.

[0035] The analysis unit can remind users of vaccination schedules. For example, the analysis unit reminds users of a baby's vaccination schedule. For example, the analysis unit reminds users of the date and location of the baby's vaccination. The analysis unit can also adjust the timing of vaccination reminders. For example, the analysis unit can remind users one week or one day before the vaccination date. This allows users to be reminded of the vaccination schedule. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the vaccination schedule into the generation AI, and the generation AI outputs the reminder.

[0036] The reception unit can analyze the parent's past instructions and consultation history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit prioritizes receiving instructions and consultations that the parent has frequently made in the past. For example, if the parent frequently "orders milk" in the past, the reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's past instructions and consultation history and prioritize milk orders. The reception unit can also predict instructions and consultations that will be made during specific time periods based on the parent's past history and adjust the reception method accordingly. For example, if the parent frequently instructs the parent to "take the baby's temperature in the middle of the night," the reception unit can analyze the parent's past history using a generation AI and prioritize temperature measurement instructions in the middle of the night. The reception unit can also suggest the most efficient reception method based on the parent's past history. For example, if the parent frequently "creates a childcare record" in the past, the reception unit can analyze the parent's past history using a generation AI and suggest an efficient way to create the childcare record. This enables efficient response by selecting the optimal reception method based on the parent's past history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's past instructions and consultation history into the generation AI, which then outputs the optimal reception method.

[0037] When receiving instructions or inquiries, the reception unit can filter them based on the parent's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit prioritizes instructions and inquiries that are highly relevant to the parent's current living situation. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the reception unit uses a generating AI to analyze the parent's living situation and prioritize health-related instructions and inquiries. The reception unit can also filter and accept specific instructions and inquiries based on the parent's areas of interest. For example, if a parent says, "I want to know the latest information about childcare," the reception unit can use a generating AI to analyze the parent's areas of interest and prioritize childcare-related instructions and inquiries. The reception unit can also suggest the optimal reception method, taking the parent's living situation and areas of interest into consideration. For example, if a parent says, "I'm busy, so I want to know an easy way to do this," the reception unit can use a generating AI to analyze the parent's living situation and suggest an easy method. This allows for more relevant responses by filtering according to the parent's living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's living situation and areas of interest into the generation AI, and the generation AI performs filtering.

[0038] When receiving instructions or inquiries, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant content by taking into account the parent's geographical location information. For example, if the parent is in a specific area, the reception unit will prioritize receiving instructions or inquiries related to that area. For example, if the parent says, "Please tell me about a nearby hospital," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographical location information and prioritize receiving instructions or inquiries related to that area. The reception unit can also suggest optimal instructions or inquiries based on the parent's current location. For example, if the parent says, "Please tell me about the nearest pharmacy from where I am now," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographical location information and suggest optimal instructions or inquiries. The reception unit can also filter and accept highly relevant content by taking into account the parent's geographical location information. For example, if the parent says, "I want to play in a nearby park," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographical location information and filter and accept highly relevant content. This enables more relevant responses by taking the parent's geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's geographical location information to the generation AI, and the generation AI filters out highly relevant content.

[0039] The reception unit can analyze the parent's social media activity when receiving instructions or consultations and accept relevant content. For example, the reception unit analyzes the parent's current interests from their social media activity and prioritizes accepting related instructions and consultations. For example, if a parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about child-rearing lately," the reception unit can use generative AI to analyze the parent's social media activity and prioritize accepting instructions and consultations related to child-rearing. The reception unit can also suggest optimal instructions and consultations based on the parent's social media activity. For example, if a parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about health lately," the reception unit can use generative AI to analyze the parent's social media activity and suggest instructions and consultations related to health. The reception unit can also filter and accept highly relevant content, taking the parent's social media activity into consideration. For example, if a parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about travel lately," the reception unit can use generative AI to analyze the parent's social media activity and filter and accept instructions and consultations related to travel. This enables more relevant responses by analyzing the parent's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's social media activity into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes the related content.

[0040] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instruction or consultation. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis for highly important instructions or consultations. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the importance and perform a detailed analysis. The analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis for less important instructions or consultations. For example, if a parent says, "Please order milk for my baby," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the importance and perform a concise analysis. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instruction or consultation. For example, if a parent says, "Please keep a record of my baby's growth," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the importance and perform the analysis at an appropriate level of detail. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instruction or consultation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the importance of instructions or consultations into the generation AI, which then adjusts the level of detail in the analysis.

[0041] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the instruction or consultation. For example, the analysis unit applies a dedicated analysis algorithm to instructions or consultations regarding childcare records. For example, if a parent says, "Please keep a record of my baby's meals," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to apply an analysis algorithm related to childcare records. The analysis unit can also apply a different analysis algorithm to instructions or consultations regarding milk orders. For example, if a parent says, "Please order milk for my baby," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to apply an analysis algorithm related to milk orders. The analysis unit can also select and apply the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the content of the parent's consultation. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to apply an analysis algorithm related to health. This enables more accurate analysis by applying an analysis algorithm depending on the category of the instruction or consultation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the category of the instruction or consultation into the generation AI, which then applies the optimal analysis algorithm.

[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the time of submission of instructions and inquiries. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of recently submitted instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "My baby's temperature was high this morning," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the time of submission and prioritizes analysis of recent instructions and inquiries. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of older instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "I would like to order milk for my baby last week," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the time of submission and prioritize analysis of older instructions and inquiries. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the priority of analysis based on the time of submission. For example, if a parent says, "I was worried about my baby's health yesterday," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the time of submission and dynamically adjust the priority. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of submission. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the timing of submission of instructions and consultations into the generation AI, which then determines the priority.

[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of instructions and inquiries. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the relevance and prioritizes analysis of instructions and inquiries related to health. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "Please order milk for my baby," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the relevance and postpone analysis of instructions and inquiries related to ordering milk. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "Please keep a record of my baby's growth," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the relevance and perform the analysis in an appropriate order. Adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance enables efficient analysis. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the relevance of instructions and consultations into the generation AI, which then adjusts the order of analysis.

[0044] When recording, the recording unit can analyze the baby's past data and select the optimal recording method. The recording unit, for example, selects the optimal recording method based on the baby's past dietary data. For example, the recording unit analyzes what kind of meals the baby has eaten in the past and selects the optimal recording method. The recording unit can also select the optimal recording method based on the baby's past sleep data. For example, the recording unit analyzes what kind of sleep patterns the baby has had in the past and selects the optimal recording method. The recording unit can also select the optimal recording method based on the baby's past health data. For example, the recording unit analyzes what kind of health conditions the baby has had in the past and selects the optimal recording method. This enables efficient recording by selecting the optimal recording method based on past data. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the recording unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the recording unit inputs the baby's past data into the generation AI, and the generation AI selects the optimal recording method.

[0045] The recording unit can customize the recording method based on the baby's current health condition when recording. The recording unit selects an appropriate recording method based on, for example, the baby's current body temperature. For example, if the baby's body temperature is high, the recording unit selects a method for recording temperature fluctuations in detail. The recording unit can also select an appropriate recording method based on the baby's current eating status. For example, the recording unit selects a method for recording in detail what the baby is eating. The recording unit can also select an appropriate recording method based on the baby's current sleeping status. For example, the recording unit selects a method for recording in detail the baby's sleeping patterns. This makes it possible to provide an optimal recording method according to the baby's current health condition. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the recording unit inputs the baby's current health condition into the generation AI, which selects the optimal recording method.

[0046] When recording, the recording unit can select the optimal recording method by taking into account the baby's geographical location information. For example, if the baby is in a specific area, the recording unit selects a recording method related to that area. For example, if the baby says, "Playing in the park," the recording unit analyzes the geographical location information using the generation AI and selects a recording method related to that area. The recording unit can also suggest the optimal recording method based on the baby's current location. For example, if the baby says, "I'm at home," the recording unit analyzes the geographical location information using the generation AI and suggests the optimal recording method. The recording unit can also select a highly relevant recording method by taking into account the baby's geographical location information. For example, if the baby says, "I'm traveling," the recording unit analyzes the geographical location information using the generation AI and selects a highly relevant recording method. This makes it possible to provide the optimal recording method based on the baby's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the recording unit inputs the baby's geographical location information to the generation AI, which selects the optimal recording method.

[0047] The recording unit can analyze the baby's social media activity during recording and suggest a recording method. For example, the recording unit analyzes the baby's current interests from the baby's social media activity and suggests a related recording method. For example, if the baby says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about childcare recently," the recording unit can analyze the social media activity using a generation AI and suggest a childcare-related recording method. The recording unit can also suggest an optimal recording method based on the baby's social media activity.

This makes it possible to provide an optimal recording method based on the baby's social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the recording unit inputs the baby's social media activity into the generation AI, which then suggests an optimal recording method.

[0048] When placing an order, the ordering unit can analyze past order history and select the optimal ordering method. The ordering unit selects the optimal ordering method based on, for example, the parent's past order history. For example, if the parent frequently "ordered milk" in the past, the ordering unit uses a generation AI to analyze the past order history and select the optimal ordering method. The ordering unit can also predict orders to be made at specific times of the day based on the parent's past order history and suggest the optimal method. For example, if the parent frequently "ordered milk late at night" in the past, the ordering unit can analyze the past history using a generation AI and suggest the optimal ordering method for late at night. The ordering unit can also analyze the parent's past order history and suggest the most efficient ordering method. For example, if the parent frequently "ordered childcare products" in the past, the ordering unit can analyze the past history using a generation AI and suggest an efficient way to order childcare products. This makes it possible to provide the optimal ordering method based on the past order history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the ordering unit may be performed using or without a generation AI. For example, the ordering department inputs the parent's past order history into the generation AI, which then selects the optimal ordering method.

[0049] When placing an order, the order unit can customize the ordering method based on the parent's current living situation. For example, the order unit suggests the optimal ordering method depending on the parent's current living situation. For example, if the parent says, "I'm busy," the order unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's living situation and suggest an easy way to order. The order unit can also customize the ordering method taking the parent's current living situation into consideration. For example, if the parent says, "I'm at home," the order unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's living situation and suggest an easy way to order from home. The order unit can also select the optimal online store based on the parent's current living situation. For example, if the parent says, "I want to order from a nearby store," the order unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's living situation and select a nearby online store. This makes it possible to provide the optimal ordering method based on the parent's current living situation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the order unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the order unit inputs the parent's living situation into the generation AI, which then suggests the optimal ordering method.

[0050] When placing an order, the order unit can select the optimal ordering method by taking into account the parent's geographic location information. For example, if the parent is in a specific area, the order unit selects an ordering method related to that area. For example, if the parent says, "I want to order from a nearby store," the order unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographic location information and selects an ordering method related to that area. The order unit can also suggest the optimal ordering method based on the parent's current location. For example, if the parent says, "Please tell me the nearest store from where I am now," the order unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographic location information and suggest the optimal ordering method. The order unit can also select a highly relevant ordering method by taking into account the parent's geographic location information. For example, if the parent says, "I want to order things I need while traveling," the order unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographic location information and select a highly relevant ordering method. This makes it possible to provide the optimal ordering method based on the parent's geographic location information. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the order unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the ordering department inputs the parent's geographical location information into the generation AI, which then selects the optimal ordering method.

[0051] When placing an order, the ordering unit can analyze the parent's social media activity and suggest an ordering method. For example, the ordering unit analyzes the parent's current interests from their social media activity and suggests a related ordering method. For example, if the parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about childcare recently," the ordering unit can analyze their social media activity using a generation AI and suggest a childcare-related ordering method. The ordering unit can also suggest an optimal ordering method based on the parent's social media activity.

The ordering unit can also select a highly relevant ordering method taking the parent's social media activity into consideration. For example, if the parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about travel recently," the ordering unit can analyze their social media activity using a generation AI and select a travel-related ordering method. This makes it possible to provide an optimal ordering method based on the parent's social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the ordering unit may be performed using or without a generation AI. For example, the ordering unit inputs the parent's social media activity into a generation AI, which then suggests an optimal ordering method.

[0052] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0053] When analyzing parental instructions and consultations, the analysis unit can learn the parent's past behavioral patterns and build a predictive model. For example, if a parent has tended to keep childcare records during a specific time period in the past, the analysis unit can automatically suggest childcare records for that time period. Also, if a parent has a tendency to order milk on a specific day of the week, the analysis unit can remind the parent to order milk on that day. Furthermore, if a parent frequently makes a specific inquiry, the analysis unit can prepare a solution to that inquiry in advance and provide it quickly. This makes it possible to provide more efficient childcare support by utilizing a predictive model based on parental behavioral patterns.

[0054] When analyzing the content of a parent's consultation, the analysis unit can refer to the consultation history and solutions of other parents. For example, by referring to the solutions of other parents with similar consultation content, more effective solutions can be proposed. For example, if a parent consults about their baby's severe nighttime crying, the analysis unit analyzes the consultation history of other parents and suggests methods for solving similar problems. The analysis unit can also create a database of solutions to common problems based on the consultation histories of other parents and quickly provide them. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the consultation histories of other parents, find trends and patterns for common problems, and propose solutions based on those trends. In this way, more effective solutions can be provided by utilizing the consultation histories of other parents.

[0055] The recording unit can monitor the baby's health condition in real time and issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the baby's body temperature rises suddenly, the recording unit can issue an alert and notify the parents. Similarly, an alert can be issued if the baby's heart rate or respiratory rate indicates an abnormal value. Furthermore, the recording unit is equipped with sensors for monitoring the baby's health condition and can analyze data obtained from these sensors in real time. For example, data obtained from the baby's body temperature sensor and heart rate sensor can be analyzed, and an alert can be issued if an abnormality is detected. This allows the baby's health condition to be monitored in real time and an abnormality to be detected and responded to quickly.

[0056] When analyzing a parent's instructions or consultation, the analysis unit can use natural language processing technology to more accurately understand the parent's intention. For example, if a parent says, "My baby's milk is running low," the analysis unit can use natural language processing technology to analyze the parent's intention and suggest ordering more milk. If a parent says, "My baby's temperature is high," the analysis unit can use natural language processing technology to analyze the parent's intention and suggest measures to lower the temperature. If a parent says, "My baby cries a lot at night," the analysis unit can use natural language processing technology to analyze the parent's intention and suggest ways to reduce the baby's crying. In this way, by utilizing natural language processing technology, the parent's intention can be more accurately understood and appropriate responses can be taken.

[0057] The recording unit can accumulate baby's growth data over the long term and analyze growth trends. For example, by accumulating data on a baby's weight and height over the long term and analyzing growth trends, abnormal growth patterns can be detected early. Data on a baby's diet and sleep can also be accumulated over the long term and analyzed for growth trends. Furthermore, data on a baby's health condition can also be accumulated over the long term and analyzed for growth trends. In this way, by accumulating baby's growth data over the long term and analyzing growth trends, abnormal growth patterns can be detected early and appropriate measures can be taken.

[0058] When accepting instructions or consultations from parents, the reception unit can refer to the parent's past behavioral history. For example, it can prioritize accepting instructions or consultations that the parent has frequently made in the past. For example, if the parent has frequently "ordered milk" in the past, the reception unit will prioritize accepting that instruction. Also, if the parent has frequently "taken the baby's temperature" in the past, it can prioritize accepting that instruction. Furthermore, if the parent has frequently "created a childcare record" in the past, it can prioritize accepting that instruction. This allows for more efficient reception by referring to the parent's past behavioral history.

[0059] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0060] Step 1: The reception unit accepts instructions or inquiries from parents. Instructions or inquiries from parents include instructions on childcare and health-related inquiries. The reception unit accepts instructions or inquiries from parents via smartphone or smart speaker. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the instructions or inquiries received by the reception unit and takes appropriate action. The analysis unit analyzes the parent's instructions or inquiries using text analysis or voice analysis. Analysis can also be performed using generative AI. Step 3: The recording unit creates a childcare record based on the analysis by the analysis unit. The childcare record includes information on the baby's eating, sleeping, excretion, body temperature, etc. The recording unit can automatically create the childcare record using AI. Step 4: The ordering department searches online stores based on the content analyzed by the analysis department and completes the order process. The ordering department orders childcare items such as baby milk and diapers from the online store. The ordering department uses AI to search for the appropriate online store and automatically completes the order process.

[0061] (Example 2) A childcare support system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides support to mothers and fathers facing childcare challenges, offering solutions and keeping necessary records. This system is compatible with multiple devices, including smartphones and smart speakers. Parents simply speak to the system to provide instructions and advice, and the system performs recording, searches, applications, and orders. The system also provides suggestions and prompts to parents as needed. For example, parents may speak to their smartphones or smart speakers to provide instructions or advice. For example, they may issue commands such as "Keep a record of today's childcare" or "Order baby formula." These commands are input into a generation AI, which then analyzes the input and performs appropriate processing. For example, when keeping a childcare record, the generation AI analyzes the parent's statements and automatically creates a childcare record. When ordering formula, the generation AI searches for an appropriate online store and completes the order. Furthermore, the generation AI analyzes the parent's concerns and offers appropriate solutions. For example, when a parent consults the system about a baby's nighttime crying, the generation AI proposes solutions based on past data and expert advice. The system will also make suggestions and calls to parents as needed. For example, it will provide regular childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth and remind them of vaccination schedules. This system reduces the burden on parents in childcare and allows them to raise their children more efficiently. For example, by automatically creating childcare records, parents can save time and focus on raising their children. In addition, the generative AI can suggest appropriate solutions, making it easier for parents to resolve their childcare concerns. In this way, the childcare support system reduces the burden on parents in childcare and allows them to raise their children more efficiently.

[0062] A childcare support system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a recording unit, and an order unit.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the ordering unit may be performed using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the ordering unit causes an AI to search online stores and perform the ordering process.

[0063] The analysis unit can analyze the parent's consultation content and present an appropriate solution. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the parent's consultation content using text analysis or voice analysis. For example, if a parent complains that "my baby cries a lot at night," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to present a solution based on past data and expert advice. The analysis unit can analyze the parent's consultation content and present an appropriate solution using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs a prompt to the generation AI, such as "Please tell me how to solve my baby's night crying problem," and the generation AI outputs a solution based on past data and expert advice. This makes it possible to present an appropriate solution based on the parent's consultation content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the parent's consultation content to the generation AI, and the generation AI outputs a solution.

[0064] The analysis unit can propose a solution based on past data or expert advice. The analysis unit, for example, proposes a solution using past data. For example, the analysis unit can propose a solution based on past consultation history and statistical data. The analysis unit can also propose a solution based on expert advice. For example, the analysis unit proposes a solution based on a doctor's opinion or guidelines from a childcare expert. The analysis unit can use a generation AI to propose a solution based on past data and expert advice. For example, the analysis unit inputs past consultation history and statistical data into the generation AI, which then outputs a solution. This makes it possible to propose a more accurate solution based on past data and expert advice. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs past data and expert advice into the generation AI, which then outputs a solution.

[0065] The recording unit can record information about the baby's diet, sleep, excretion, and body temperature. For example, the recording unit records the content and amount of the baby's diet. For example, the recording unit records what the baby ate and how much it ate. The recording unit can also record the baby's sleep time. For example, the recording unit records what time the baby went to bed and what time the baby woke up. The recording unit can also record the number of times the baby excretes and the condition of the excretion. For example, the recording unit can record how many times the baby excretes and the condition of the excretion. The recording unit can also record the results of measuring the baby's body temperature. For example, the recording unit measures the baby's body temperature and records the results. This makes it possible to record detailed information about the baby. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the recording unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit inputs information about the baby's diet, sleep, excretion, and body temperature into AI, which then creates a record.

[0066] The ordering unit can search for an appropriate online store and carry out the order process. The ordering unit, for example, orders childcare products such as baby milk and diapers from an online store. For example, the ordering unit searches for an appropriate online store and orders milk and diapers. The ordering unit can also select an online store based on product quality, delivery speed, user reviews, etc. For example, the ordering unit selects an online store with high user reviews and carries out the order process. The ordering unit can also use AI to search for an appropriate online store and automatically carry out the order process. For example, the ordering unit has AI perform the online store search and order process. This allows the online store to be searched and the order process to be carried out automatically. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the ordering unit may be performed using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the ordering unit has AI perform the online store search and order process.

[0067] The analysis unit can periodically provide childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth. The analysis unit, for example, provides dietary advice tailored to the baby's growth. For example, the analysis unit advises on the content and amount of food according to the baby's age. The analysis unit can also provide sleep advice tailored to the baby's growth. For example, the analysis unit advises on sleep times and how to put the baby to sleep according to the baby's age. The analysis unit can also provide health management advice tailored to the baby's growth. For example, the analysis unit advises on vaccination schedules and health check methods according to the baby's age. This makes it possible to periodically provide childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs childcare advice tailored to the baby's growth into the generation AI, and the generation AI outputs the advice.

[0068] The analysis unit can remind users of vaccination schedules. For example, the analysis unit reminds users of a baby's vaccination schedule. For example, the analysis unit reminds users of the date and location of the baby's vaccination. The analysis unit can also adjust the timing of vaccination reminders. For example, the analysis unit can remind users one week or one day before the vaccination date. This allows users to be reminded of the vaccination schedule. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the vaccination schedule into the generation AI, and the generation AI outputs the reminder.

[0069] The childcare support system further includes a reception unit that estimates the parent's emotions and adjusts the timing of receiving instructions and consultations based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling stressed, the reception unit delays the timing of receiving instructions and consultations to provide time for the parent to relax. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and provide time for the parent to relax. Furthermore, if the parent is relaxed, the reception unit can immediately accept instructions and consultations and respond quickly. For example, if the parent says, "I'm fine now," the reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and immediately accept instructions and consultations. Furthermore, if the parent is in a hurry, the reception unit can prioritize instructions and consultations and start processing them quickly. For example, if the parent says, "I'm in a hurry," the reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and prioritize instructions and consultations. This allows for more appropriate responses by adjusting the timing of receiving instructions and consultations based on the parent's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's emotions into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes the emotions.

[0070] The reception unit can analyze the parent's past instructions and consultation history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit prioritizes receiving instructions and consultations that the parent has frequently made in the past. For example, if the parent frequently "orders milk" in the past, the reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's past instructions and consultation history and prioritize milk orders. The reception unit can also predict instructions and consultations that will be made during specific time periods based on the parent's past history and adjust the reception method accordingly. For example, if the parent frequently instructs the parent to "take the baby's temperature in the middle of the night," the reception unit can analyze the parent's past history using a generation AI and prioritize temperature measurement instructions in the middle of the night. The reception unit can also suggest the most efficient reception method based on the parent's past history. For example, if the parent frequently "creates a childcare record" in the past, the reception unit can analyze the parent's past history using a generation AI and suggest an efficient way to create the childcare record. This enables efficient response by selecting the optimal reception method based on the parent's past history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's past instructions and consultation history into the generation AI, which then outputs the optimal reception method.

[0071] When receiving instructions or inquiries, the reception unit can filter them based on the parent's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit prioritizes instructions and inquiries that are highly relevant to the parent's current living situation. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's living situation and prioritize health-related instructions and inquiries. The reception unit can also filter and accept specific instructions and inquiries based on the parent's areas of interest. For example, if a parent says, "I want to know the latest information about childcare," the reception unit can use a generation AI to analyze the parent's areas of interest and prioritize childcare-related instructions and inquiries. The reception unit can also suggest the optimal reception method, taking the parent's living situation and areas of interest into consideration. For example, if a parent says, "I'm busy, so I want to know an easy way to do this," the reception unit can use a generation AI to analyze the parent's living situation and suggest an easy method. This allows for more relevant responses by filtering according to the parent's living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's living situation and areas of interest into the generation AI, and the generation AI performs filtering.

[0072] The reception unit can estimate the parent's emotions and determine the priority of instructions and inquiries to be received based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling stressed, the reception unit will prioritize instructions and inquiries of higher importance. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and prioritize instructions and inquiries of higher importance. In addition, if the parent is relaxed, the reception unit can accept instructions and inquiries with normal priority. For example, if the parent says, "I'm fine now," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and prioritize instructions and inquiries of higher importance. In addition, if the parent is in a hurry, the reception unit can prioritize instructions and inquiries of higher urgency. For example, if the parent says, "I'm in a hurry," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and prioritize instructions and inquiries of higher urgency. This allows for more appropriate responses by determining priorities according to the parent's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's emotion into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes the emotion.

[0073] When receiving instructions or inquiries, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant content by taking into account the parent's geographical location information. For example, if the parent is in a specific area, the reception unit will prioritize receiving instructions or inquiries related to that area. For example, if the parent says, "Please tell me about a nearby hospital," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographical location information and prioritize receiving instructions or inquiries related to that area. The reception unit can also suggest optimal instructions or inquiries based on the parent's current location. For example, if the parent says, "Please tell me about the nearest pharmacy from where I am now," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographical location information and suggest optimal instructions or inquiries. The reception unit can also filter and accept highly relevant content by taking into account the parent's geographical location information. For example, if the parent says, "I want to play in a nearby park," the reception unit will use the generation AI to analyze the parent's geographical location information and filter and accept highly relevant content. This enables more relevant responses by taking the parent's geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's geographical location information to the generation AI, and the generation AI filters out highly relevant content.

[0074] The reception unit can analyze the parent's social media activity when receiving instructions or consultations and accept relevant content. For example, the reception unit analyzes the parent's current interests from their social media activity and prioritizes accepting related instructions and consultations. For example, if a parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about child-rearing lately," the reception unit can use generative AI to analyze the parent's social media activity and prioritize accepting instructions and consultations related to child-rearing. The reception unit can also suggest optimal instructions and consultations based on the parent's social media activity. For example, if a parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about health lately," the reception unit can use generative AI to analyze the parent's social media activity and suggest instructions and consultations related to health. The reception unit can also filter and accept highly relevant content, taking the parent's social media activity into consideration. For example, if a parent says, "I've been sharing a lot of information about travel lately," the reception unit can use generative AI to analyze the parent's social media activity and filter and accept instructions and consultations related to travel. This enables more relevant responses by analyzing the parent's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the parent's social media activity into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes the related content.

[0075] The analysis unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the analysis expression based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the analysis unit uses a simple and easy-to-understand expression. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and uses a simple and easy-to-understand expression. Alternatively, if the parent is relaxed, the analysis unit can use an expression that includes more detailed information. For example, if the parent says, "I'm fine now," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and uses an expression that includes more detailed information. Alternatively, if the parent is in a hurry, the analysis unit can use a concise expression that gets to the point. For example, if the parent says, "I'm in a hurry," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and uses a concise expression that gets to the point. This allows for more appropriate information to be provided by adjusting the analysis expression based on the parent's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the parent's emotions into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes the emotions.

[0076] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instruction or consultation. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis for highly important instructions or consultations. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the importance and perform a detailed analysis. The analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis for less important instructions or consultations. For example, if a parent says, "Please order milk for my baby," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the importance and perform a concise analysis. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instruction or consultation. For example, if a parent says, "Please keep a record of my baby's growth," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the importance and perform the analysis at an appropriate level of detail. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instruction or consultation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the importance of instructions or consultations into the generation AI, which then adjusts the level of detail in the analysis.

[0077] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the instruction or consultation. For example, the analysis unit applies a dedicated analysis algorithm to instructions or consultations regarding childcare records. For example, if a parent says, "Please keep a record of my baby's meals," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to apply an analysis algorithm related to childcare records. The analysis unit can also apply a different analysis algorithm to instructions or consultations regarding milk orders. For example, if a parent says, "Please order milk for my baby," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to apply an analysis algorithm related to milk orders. The analysis unit can also select and apply the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the content of the parent's consultation. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to apply an analysis algorithm related to health. This enables more accurate analysis by applying an analysis algorithm depending on the category of the instruction or consultation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the category of the instruction or consultation into the generation AI, which then applies the optimal analysis algorithm.

[0078] The analysis unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the length of the analysis based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the analysis unit performs a short, concise analysis. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and perform a short, concise analysis. The analysis unit can also perform a detailed analysis if the parent is relaxed. For example, if the parent says, "I'm fine now," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and perform a detailed analysis. The analysis unit can also perform a quick analysis and provide the results if the parent is in a hurry. For example, if the parent says, "I'm in a hurry," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions, perform the analysis quickly, and provide the results. This allows for adjusting the length of the analysis according to the parent's emotions, thereby providing more appropriate information. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the parent's emotions into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes the emotions.

[0079] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the time of submission of instructions and inquiries. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of recently submitted instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "My baby's temperature was high this morning," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the time of submission and prioritizes analysis of recent instructions and inquiries. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of older instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "I would like to order milk for my baby last week," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the time of submission and prioritize analysis of older instructions and inquiries. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the priority of analysis based on the time of submission. For example, if a parent says, "I was worried about my baby's health yesterday," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the time of submission and dynamically adjust the priority. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of submission. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the timing of submission of instructions and consultations into the generation AI, which then determines the priority.

[0080] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of instructions and inquiries. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "I'm worried about my baby's health," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the relevance and prioritizes analysis of instructions and inquiries related to health. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "Please order milk for my baby," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the relevance and postpone analysis of instructions and inquiries related to ordering milk. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of instructions and inquiries. For example, if a parent says, "Please keep a record of my baby's growth," the analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the relevance and perform the analysis in an appropriate order. Adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance enables efficient analysis. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the relevance of instructions and consultations into the generation AI, which then adjusts the order of analysis.

[0081] The recording unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the recording method based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the recording unit uses a simple and easy-to-understand recording method. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the recording unit uses a generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and uses a simple and easy-to-understand recording method. Furthermore, if the parent is relaxed, the recording unit can use a recording method that includes more detailed information.

[0093] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0094] When analyzing parental instructions and consultations, the analysis unit can learn the parent's past behavioral patterns and build a predictive model. For example, if a parent has tended to keep childcare records during a specific time period in the past, the analysis unit can automatically suggest childcare records for that time period. Also, if a parent has a tendency to order milk on a specific day of the week, the analysis unit can remind the parent to order milk on that day. Furthermore, if a parent frequently makes a specific inquiry, the analysis unit can prepare a solution to that inquiry in advance and provide it quickly. This makes it possible to provide more efficient childcare support by utilizing a predictive model based on parental behavioral patterns.

[0095] When analyzing the parent's consultation content, the analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to estimate the parent's emotions and customize a solution based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can suggest a solution that will help them relax. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the analysis unit can use the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and suggest a way to help them relax. If the parent is relaxed, a detailed solution can also be provided. For example, if the parent says, "I'm fine now," the analysis unit can use the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and suggest a detailed solution. Furthermore, if the parent is in a hurry, a solution that can be implemented quickly can be suggested. For example, if the parent says, "I'm in a hurry," the analysis unit can use the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and suggest a solution that can be implemented quickly. This enables more appropriate responses by providing solutions that correspond to the parent's emotions.

[0096] When analyzing the content of a parent's consultation, the analysis unit can refer to the consultation history and solutions of other parents. For example, by referring to the solutions of other parents with similar consultation content, more effective solutions can be proposed. For example, if a parent consults about their baby's severe nighttime crying, the analysis unit analyzes the consultation history of other parents and suggests methods for solving similar problems. The analysis unit can also create a database of solutions to common problems based on the consultation histories of other parents and quickly provide them. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the consultation histories of other parents, find trends and patterns for common problems, and propose solutions based on those trends. In this way, more effective solutions can be provided by utilizing the consultation histories of other parents.

[0097] The recording unit can monitor the baby's health condition in real time and issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the baby's body temperature rises suddenly, the recording unit can issue an alert and notify the parents. Similarly, an alert can be issued if the baby's heart rate or respiratory rate indicates an abnormal value. Furthermore, the recording unit is equipped with sensors for monitoring the baby's health condition and can analyze data obtained from these sensors in real time.

Data on a baby's diet and sleep can also be accumulated over the long term and analyzed for growth trends. Furthermore, data on a baby's health condition can also be accumulated over the long term and analyzed for growth trends. In this way, by accumulating baby's growth data over the long term and analyzing growth trends, abnormal growth patterns can be detected early and appropriate measures can be taken.

[0102] The reception unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the reception method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling stressed, the reception procedure can be simplified. For example, if the parent says, "I'm tired," the reception unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and simplify the reception procedure. Also, if the parent is relaxed, the normal reception procedure can be carried out. For example, if the parent says, "I'm fine now," the reception unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and carry out the normal reception procedure. Furthermore, if the parent is in a hurry, the reception can be expedited. For example, if the parent says, "I'm in a hurry," the reception unit uses the generation AI to analyze the parent's emotions and carry out the reception quickly. This enables more appropriate responses by providing a reception method that suits the parent's emotions.

[0103] When accepting instructions or consultations from parents, the reception unit can refer to the parent's past behavioral history. For example, it can prioritize accepting instructions or consultations that the parent has frequently made in the past. For example, if the parent has frequently "ordered milk" in the past, the reception unit will prioritize accepting that instruction. Also, if the parent has frequently "taken the baby's temperature" in the past, it can prioritize accepting that instruction. Furthermore, if the parent has frequently "created a childcare record" in the past, it can prioritize accepting that instruction. This allows for more efficient reception by referring to the parent's past behavioral history.

[0104] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0105] Step 1: The reception unit accepts instructions or inquiries from parents. Instructions or inquiries from parents include instructions on childcare and health-related inquiries. The reception unit accepts instructions or inquiries from parents via smartphone or smart speaker. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the instructions or inquiries received by the reception unit and takes appropriate action. The analysis unit analyzes the parent's instructions or inquiries using text analysis or voice analysis. Analysis can also be performed using generative AI. Step 3: The recording unit creates a childcare record based on the analysis by the analysis unit. The childcare record includes information on the baby's eating, sleeping, excretion, body temperature, etc. The recording unit can automatically create the childcare record using AI. Step 4: The ordering department searches online stores based on the content analyzed by the analysis department and completes the order process. The ordering department orders childcare items such as baby milk and diapers from the online store. The ordering department uses AI to search for the appropriate online store and automatically completes the order process.

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.

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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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).

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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."

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.
