[0028] (Example 1) An earthquake prediction system according to an embodiment of the present invention predicts earthquakes by utilizing the "body sensors" of living organisms. This system digitizes animal sensor information and works in conjunction with a generation AI to accurately verbalize the information the animal uses to predict earthquakes. For example, in an earthquake prediction system, sensors attached to the animal monitor the animal's physical reactions in real time. For example, the sensors detect the behavior and physiological changes that animals, such as dogs and cats, exhibit when sensing the signs of an earthquake. This sensor information includes the animal's heart rate, body temperature, and movement patterns. The collected sensor information is then digitized and input into a generation AI. The generation AI analyzes this data and extracts characteristic patterns that animals use to predict earthquakes. For example, it identifies specific increases in heart rate and abnormal movement patterns as signs of an earthquake. The generation AI then verbalizes earthquake prediction information based on the extracted patterns. For example, it generates specific prediction information, such as, "The dog's heart rate has risen sharply and it is exhibiting abnormal movements, which are considered to be signs of an earthquake." This prediction information is provided to local disaster prevention systems, providing advance warning of an upcoming earthquake. This allows local residents to evacuate early, minimizing damage from earthquakes. Furthermore, this system can generate profits through the sale of sensors and local contracts. For example, revenue can be generated by selling sensors to animal lovers and areas with a high awareness of disaster prevention and providing a service that links with the generative AI. In this way, a system that predicts earthquakes using the "body sensors" of living creatures can accurately predict earthquakes and reduce damage from earthquakes by digitizing animal sensor information and linking it with the generative AI. This allows the earthquake prediction system to accurately predict earthquakes by digitizing animal sensor information and linking it with the generative AI.

The collection unit can also detect changes in the animal's body temperature using the body temperature sensor and collect data when an abnormal change is detected. The collection unit can also detect the animal's movement pattern using the acceleration sensor and collect data when an abnormal movement is detected. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the data using a machine learning algorithm. Examples of machine learning algorithms include, but are not limited to, K-means and random forest. The analysis unit clusters data using, for example, K-means, and determines that an abnormal cluster is detected as a precursor to an earthquake. The analysis unit can also classify data using a random forest, and determine that an abnormal classification result is obtained as a precursor to an earthquake.

Random forests are also used to classify data. Random forests build multiple decision trees and aggregate the prediction results of each decision tree. This allows for improved data classification accuracy. Neural networks are also used to analyze data.

This system digitizes animal sensor information and works in conjunction with a generation AI to accurately verbalize the information the animal uses to predict earthquakes. For example, in an earthquake prediction system, sensors attached to the animal monitor the animal's physical reactions in real time. For example, the sensors detect the behavior and physiological changes that animals, such as dogs and cats, exhibit when sensing the signs of an earthquake. This sensor information includes the animal's heart rate, body temperature, and movement patterns. The collected sensor information is then digitized and input into a generation AI. The generation AI analyzes this data and extracts characteristic patterns that animals use to predict earthquakes. For example, it identifies specific increases in heart rate and abnormal movement patterns as signs of an earthquake. The generation AI then verbalizes earthquake prediction information based on the extracted patterns. For example, it generates specific prediction information, such as, "The dog's heart rate has risen sharply and it is exhibiting abnormal movements, which are considered to be signs of an earthquake." This prediction information is provided to local disaster prevention systems, providing advance warning of an upcoming earthquake. This allows local residents to evacuate early, minimizing damage from earthquakes. Furthermore, this system can generate profits through the sale of sensors and local contracts.

[0089] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0090] The collection unit can estimate the animal's emotions and adjust the sensitivity of the sensors based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the animal is excited, the sensitivity of the heart rate sensor can be increased to collect more detailed data. If the animal is relaxed, the sensitivity of the body temperature sensor can be adjusted to detect subtle changes. Furthermore, if the animal is feeling anxious, the sensitivity of the acceleration sensor can be increased to record the animal's movement patterns in detail. This allows for more accurate data collection by adjusting the sensitivity of the sensors according to the animal's emotions.
[0091] The collection unit can analyze the animal's past behavioral history and select the optimal sensor placement. For example, if the animal has previously exhibited abnormal behavior in a specific location, sensors can be concentrated in that location. The placement of heart rate sensors and body temperature sensors can also be optimized based on the animal's past behavioral patterns. Furthermore, if the animal exhibits abnormal behavior during a specific time period, the sensitivity of the sensors can be increased during that time period. This improves the accuracy of data collection by selecting the optimal sensor placement based on the animal's past behavioral history.
[0092] The collection unit can filter sensor data collection based on the animal's current health condition. For example, if the animal is healthy, normal data collection is performed. If the animal is sick, abnormal data can be filtered to collect accurate data. Furthermore, if the animal is tired, the frequency of data collection can be adjusted to reduce the burden on the animal. This allows accurate data to be collected by filtering data according to the animal's health condition.
[0093] The collection unit can estimate the emotion of the animal and determine the priority of data to be collected based on the estimated emotion of the animal. For example, if the animal is excited, heart rate data can be collected with priority. Also, if the animal is relaxed, body temperature data can be collected with priority. Furthermore, if the animal is feeling anxious, movement pattern data can be collected with priority. In this way, by determining the priority of data according to the emotion of the animal, important data can be collected with priority.
[0094] When collecting sensor data, the collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant data by taking into account the geographical location information of the animal. For example, if the animal is in a specific area, data from that area can be collected preferentially. Also, if the animal is moving, data along its path can be collected preferentially. Furthermore, if the animal exhibits abnormal behavior in a specific location, data from that location can be collected preferentially. In this way, by taking into account the geographical location information of the animal, highly relevant data can be collected preferentially.

For example, if the animal is excited, the analysis algorithm of the heart rate data can be adjusted. Also, if the animal is relaxed, the analysis algorithm of the body temperature data can be adjusted. Furthermore, if the animal is feeling anxious, the analysis algorithm of the movement pattern data can be adjusted. In this way, the analysis accuracy can be improved by adjusting the analysis algorithm according to the emotion of the animal.

For example, the analysis unit can analyze the current data by referring to the animal's past heart rate data. The analysis unit can also analyze the current data by referring to the animal's past body temperature data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the current data by referring to the animal's past movement pattern data. In this way, by referring to the animal's past data, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved.
[0097] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis methods to each type of animal. For example, when analyzing dog data, an analysis method that takes into account dog-specific behavioral patterns can be applied. When analyzing cat data, an analysis method that takes into account cat-specific behavioral patterns can also be applied. Furthermore, when analyzing bird data, an analysis method that takes into account bird-specific behavioral patterns can also be applied.

For example, if the animal is excited, the heart rate data can be emphasized. If the animal is relaxed, the body temperature data can be displayed in detail. Furthermore, if the animal is feeling anxious, the movement pattern data can be emphasized. By adjusting the display method of the analysis results according to the animal's emotions, it is possible to display them in a way that is easier to understand.
[0099] The analysis unit can take into account the geographical distribution of animals during analysis. For example, if an animal is in a specific area, it can prioritize analyzing data from that area. Also, if an animal is moving, it can prioritize analyzing data along its route. Furthermore, if an animal exhibits abnormal behavior in a specific location, it can prioritize analyzing data from that location. This allows for more relevant analysis by taking the geographical distribution of animals into account.

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.
[0154] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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).
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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."
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
