Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A baggage inspection system according to an embodiment of the present invention fully automates airport baggage inspection using generative AI. When baggage arrives at the inspection area, the generative AI scans the contents of the bag to check for any dangerous or prohibited items. The generative AI analyzes data from X-ray images and other sensors to thoroughly examine the contents of the bag. For example, if the bag contains dangerous items such as knives or explosives, the generative AI immediately issues an alert and moves the baggage to a separate inspection area. Next, the generative AI analyzes the contents of the baggage to ensure that the passenger's belongings comply with airline regulations. If any regulations are violated, such as the amount of liquid or the type of electronic device, the generative AI issues an alert and requests that the baggage be reinspected. Furthermore, the generative AI notifies passengers of the baggage inspection results in real time. Passengers can check on their smartphones or airport displays whether their baggage has passed inspection. This allows passengers to monitor the progress of baggage inspection and shortens waiting times. This system will fully automate baggage inspection at airports, freeing up manpower and shortening passenger waiting times. Generative AI will also perform detailed analysis of baggage contents, improving the accuracy of detecting dangerous and prohibited items and enhancing airport safety. This allows the baggage inspection system to free up manpower and shorten passenger waiting times.
[0029] A baggage inspection system according to an embodiment includes a scanning unit, an analyzing unit, a detecting unit, and a notifying unit. The scanning unit scans the contents of baggage.

[0032] The detection unit can detect dangerous materials and prohibited items based on the data obtained from the analysis unit. The detection unit can, for example, use a generation AI to detect dangerous materials and prohibited items based on the analysis data. The detection unit can, for example, use a generation AI to detect dangerous materials and prohibited items based on the analysis data and issue a warning.

This allows passengers to understand the progress of the baggage inspection and shorten their waiting time. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input the inspection results obtained by the detection unit into a generation AI, which analyzes the data and notifies the passengers of the inspection results.
[0034] The notification unit can notify the passenger of the inspection results using a smartphone or an airport display. The notification unit can notify the passenger of the inspection results using, for example, a smartphone or an airport display. The notification unit can also notify the passenger of the inspection results in real time.

For example, the notification unit can input the inspection results acquired by the detection unit into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and notify the passenger of the inspection results.
[0035] The scanning unit can automatically change the scanning method depending on the shape and material of the baggage. For example, if the baggage is made of metal, the scanning unit adjusts the intensity of the X-ray scan to obtain a detailed image. For example, if the baggage is made of cloth, the scanning unit can lower the intensity of the X-ray scan to increase transparency. Furthermore, if the baggage is made of multiple materials, the scanning unit can combine the scanning methods optimal for each material. For example, if the baggage is made of metal, the scanning unit adjusts the intensity of the X-ray scan to obtain a detailed image. This improves the accuracy of the scan by applying the optimal scanning method depending on the shape and material of the baggage. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the scanning unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the scanning unit can input data on the shape and material of the baggage into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and determine the optimal scanning method.
[0036] The scanning unit can improve the accuracy of the scan by referring to the baggage owner's past travel history during scanning. For example, the scanning unit can increase the accuracy of the scan if the baggage owner has a history of bringing in dangerous goods in the past. For example, the scanning unit can apply normal scanning accuracy if the baggage owner is a frequent traveler. The scanning unit can also set the scanning accuracy to standard if the baggage owner is traveling for the first time. For example, the scanning unit can increase the scanning accuracy if the baggage owner has a history of bringing in dangerous goods in the past. This improves the accuracy of the scan by referring to the past travel history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the scanning unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the scanning unit can input the baggage owner's past travel history data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data to improve the accuracy of the scan.
[0037] During scanning, the scanning unit can adjust scan settings based on the weight and size of the baggage. For example, if the baggage is heavy, the scanning unit can increase the intensity of the X-ray scan to obtain a detailed image. For example, if the baggage is light, the scanning unit can decrease the intensity of the X-ray scan to increase penetration. Furthermore, if the baggage is large, the scanning unit can widen the scan range to cover the entire bag. For example, if the baggage is heavy, the scanning unit can increase the intensity of the X-ray scan to obtain a detailed image. This improves the accuracy of the scan by applying optimal scan settings according to the weight and size of the baggage. Some or all of the above-described processing in the scanning unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the scanning unit can input data on the weight and size of the baggage into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the scan settings.
[0038] The scanning unit can analyze the social media activity of the baggage owner during scanning and incorporate related information into the scan. For example, if the baggage owner has recently posted about dangerous goods, the scanning unit can increase the accuracy of the scan. For example, if the baggage owner frequently posts about travel, the scanning unit can apply normal scan accuracy. The scanning unit can also set the scan accuracy to standard if the baggage owner does not use social media. For example, the scanning unit can increase the scan accuracy if the baggage owner has recently posted about dangerous goods. In this way, the scanning accuracy is improved by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing in the scanning unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the scanning unit can input the baggage owner's social media activity data into a generation AI, which can analyze the data to improve the scan accuracy.
[0039] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the contents of the baggage. For example, if the contents of the baggage are electronic devices, the analysis unit can apply an electromagnetic wave analysis algorithm. For example, if the contents of the baggage are liquid, the analysis unit can apply a chemical component analysis algorithm. Furthermore, if the contents of the baggage are metal products, the analysis unit can also apply a metal detection algorithm. For example, if the contents of the baggage are electronic devices, the analysis unit applies an electromagnetic wave analysis algorithm. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the category of the contents of the baggage. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input category data of the contents of the baggage into a generation AI, which analyzes the data and applies the optimal analysis algorithm.
[0040] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by taking into account the interrelationships between the contents of the baggage. For example, if the contents of the baggage consist of multiple electronic devices, the analysis unit can perform the analysis while taking into account mutual interference. For example, if the contents of the baggage consist of liquid and metal products, the analysis unit can perform the analysis while taking into account the possibility of chemical reactions. Furthermore, if the contents of the baggage consist of items of different categories, the analysis unit can also perform the analysis while taking into account the characteristics of each category. For example, if the contents of the baggage consist of multiple electronic devices, the analysis unit can perform the analysis while taking into account mutual interference.

For example, the analysis unit can input interrelationship data between the contents of the baggage into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and improve the accuracy of the analysis.
[0041] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the analysis settings based on the time the contents of the baggage were submitted. For example, if the baggage was submitted early in the morning, the analysis unit can set stricter analysis settings than usual. For example, if the baggage was submitted late at night, the analysis unit can set lenient analysis settings than usual. The analysis unit can also set standard analysis settings if the baggage was submitted during peak hours. For example, if the baggage was submitted early in the morning, the analysis unit can set stricter analysis settings than usual. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying optimal analysis settings according to the time the baggage was submitted. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the time the baggage was submitted into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the analysis settings.
[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to literature related to the contents of the baggage. For example, if the contents of the baggage are new electronic devices, the analysis unit can perform the analysis by referring to the related literature. For example, if the contents of the baggage are special chemical substances, the analysis unit can perform the analysis by referring to the related literature. Furthermore, if the contents of the baggage are unknown items, the analysis unit can also perform the analysis by referring to the related literature. For example, if the contents of the baggage are new electronic devices, the analysis unit can perform the analysis by referring to the related literature. In this way, by referring to the related literature, the accuracy of the analysis is improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input literature data related to the contents of the baggage into the generation AI, which then analyzes the data to improve the accuracy of the analysis.
[0043] The detection unit can apply different detection algorithms depending on the risk level of the contents of the baggage during detection. For example, if the contents of the baggage are high-risk items, the detection unit can apply a strict detection algorithm. For example, if the contents of the baggage are medium-risk items, the detection unit can apply a normal detection algorithm. The detection unit can also apply a simple detection algorithm if the contents of the baggage are low-risk items. For example, the detection unit applies a strict detection algorithm if the contents of the baggage are high-risk items. This improves detection accuracy by applying an optimal detection algorithm depending on the risk level of the contents of the baggage. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the detection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the detection unit can input risk level data of the contents of the baggage into a generation AI, which analyzes the data and applies an optimal detection algorithm.
[0044] The detection unit can improve detection accuracy by taking into account the interrelationships between the contents of the baggage during detection. For example, if the contents of the baggage consist of multiple electronic devices, the detection unit can perform detection while taking into account mutual interference. For example, if the contents of the baggage consist of liquid and metal products, the detection unit can perform detection while taking into account the possibility of chemical reactions. Furthermore, if the contents of the baggage consist of items of different categories, the detection unit can also perform detection while taking into account the characteristics of each category. For example, if the contents of the baggage consist of multiple electronic devices, the detection unit can perform detection while taking into account mutual interference. This improves detection accuracy by taking into account the interrelationships between the contents of the baggage. Some or all of the above-described processing in the detection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the detection unit can input interrelationship data between the contents of the baggage into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and improve detection accuracy.
[0045] The detection unit can perform detection while taking into account the geographical distribution of the contents of the baggage. For example, if the contents of the baggage are common items in a specific region, the detection unit can perform detection while taking into account the regulations of that region. For example, if the contents of the baggage are internationally regulated items, the detection unit can perform detection while taking into account international regulations. Furthermore, if the contents of the baggage are items unique to a region, the detection unit can also perform detection while taking into account the characteristics of that region. For example, if the contents of the baggage are common items in a specific region, the detection unit can perform detection while taking into account the regulations of that region. This improves the accuracy of detection by taking into account the geographical distribution of the contents of the baggage. Some or all of the above-described processing in the detection unit can be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or can be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the detection unit can input geographical distribution data of the contents of the baggage into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and perform detection.
[0046] The detection unit can improve the accuracy of detection by referring to literature related to the contents of the baggage during detection.

For example, if the contents of the baggage are special chemical substances, the detection unit can perform detection by referring to the related literature. Furthermore, if the contents of the baggage are unknown items, the detection unit can also perform detection by referring to the related literature. For example, if the contents of the baggage are new electronic devices, the detection unit can perform detection by referring to the related literature. By referring to the related literature, the accuracy of detection is improved. Some or all of the above-described processing in the detection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the detection unit can input literature data related to the contents of the baggage into the generation AI, which can analyze the data to improve the accuracy of detection.
[0047] The notification unit can adjust the level of detail of the notification based on the importance of the baggage inspection results when notifying the user. For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can provide a detailed notification and suggest specific countermeasures. For example, if the baggage contains prohibited items, the notification unit can provide a brief notification informing the user of the need for reinspection. The notification unit can also provide a simple notification informing the user that the baggage has passed inspection if the baggage complies with regulations. For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can provide a detailed notification and suggest specific countermeasures. This allows the user to deepen their understanding by providing an optimal notification based on the importance of the baggage inspection results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input baggage inspection result data into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the level of detail of the notification.
[0048] When notifying, the notification unit can apply different notification algorithms depending on the category of the baggage inspection results. For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can apply an emergency notification algorithm to quickly notify the user. For example, if the baggage contains prohibited items, the notification unit can apply a normal notification algorithm to notify the user. Furthermore, if the baggage complies with regulations, the notification unit can also apply a simplified notification algorithm to notify the user. For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can apply an emergency notification algorithm to quickly notify the user. This allows the user to understand the information more effectively by providing an optimal notification according to the category of the baggage inspection results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input category data of the baggage inspection results into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and apply a different notification algorithm.
[0049] At the time of notification, the notification unit can adjust the notification settings based on the time when the baggage inspection results were submitted. For example, if the baggage was submitted early in the morning, the notification unit can set stricter notification settings than usual. For example, if the baggage was submitted late at night, the notification unit can set lenient notification settings than usual. The notification unit can also set standard notification settings if the baggage was submitted during peak hours. For example, if the baggage was submitted early in the morning, the notification unit can set stricter notification settings than usual. This improves the accuracy of notifications by applying optimal notification settings according to the time when the baggage was submitted. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input baggage submission time data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the notification settings.
[0050] The notification unit can improve the accuracy of the notification by referring to literature related to the baggage inspection results when notifying the user. For example, if the baggage inspection results relate to a new electronic device, the notification unit can provide the notification by referring to the literature. For example, if the baggage inspection results relate to a special chemical substance, the notification unit can provide the notification by referring to the literature. The notification unit can also provide the notification by referring to the literature when the baggage inspection results relate to an unknown item. For example, if the baggage inspection results relate to a new electronic device, the notification unit can provide the notification by referring to the literature. By referring to the literature, the accuracy of the notification is improved. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input literature data related to the baggage inspection results into a generation AI, which can analyze the data to improve the accuracy of the notification.
[0051] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0052] The scanning unit can monitor the health condition of the baggage owner and adjust the scanning intensity and method according to their health condition. For example, if the owner has heart disease, the scanning intensity can be lowered to ensure safety. If the owner is pregnant, certain scanning methods can be avoided. Also, if the owner has allergies, the use of chemical sensors can be avoided. This improves safety and accuracy by applying the optimal scanning method according to the owner's health condition.
[0053] The analysis unit can refer to the occupational information of the baggage owner and adjust the level of analysis detail depending on the occupation. For example, if the owner is a scientist, a detailed analysis of chemical substances can be performed. If the owner is an engineer, a detailed analysis of electronic devices can be performed. Also, if the owner is a medical professional, a detailed analysis of medical equipment can be performed. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying the optimal analysis method depending on the owner's occupation.
[0054] The detection unit can estimate the travel purpose of the baggage owner and adjust the detection criteria according to the purpose of the trip. For example, if the owner is traveling for business, the detection criteria for electronic devices can be stricter. If the owner is traveling for sightseeing, the detection criteria for souvenirs can be looser. Also, if the owner is traveling with family, the detection criteria for children's items can be looser. This improves detection accuracy by applying the optimal detection criteria according to the owner's travel purpose.
[0055] The notification unit can automatically change the notification language based on the language setting of the baggage owner. For example, if the owner speaks English, the notification can be made in English. If the owner speaks Japanese, the notification can be made in Japanese. Also, if the owner speaks multiple languages, the notification can be made in multiple languages as options. This allows the owner to understand the notification better by applying the optimal notification method according to their language setting.
[0056] The scanning unit can refer to the baggage owner's past scan history and adjust the scan settings based on that history. For example, if the owner has a history of bringing in dangerous items in the past, the intensity of the scan can be increased. If the owner has passed the scan without any problems in the past, the normal scan settings can be applied. Also, if the owner is being scanned for the first time, the standard scan settings can be applied. This improves the accuracy of the scan by applying the optimal scan settings based on the owner's past scan history.
[0057] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0058] Step 1: The scanning unit scans the contents of the baggage. The scanning unit scans the contents of the baggage, for example, using data obtained from X-ray images or other sensors. The scanning unit may use an X-ray device to perform a detailed scan of the interior of the baggage, and may also use a metal detector or chemical sensor to scan the contents of the baggage.

Step 4: The notification unit notifies passengers of the test results obtained by the detection unit. The notification unit can notify passengers of the test results in real time using their smartphones or airport displays.
[0059] (Example 2) A baggage inspection system according to an embodiment of the present invention fully automates airport baggage inspection using generative AI. When baggage arrives at the inspection area, the generative AI scans the contents of the bag to check for any dangerous or prohibited items. The generative AI analyzes data from X-ray images and other sensors to thoroughly examine the contents of the bag. For example, if the bag contains dangerous items such as knives or explosives, the generative AI immediately issues an alert and moves the baggage to a separate inspection area. Next, the generative AI analyzes the contents of the baggage to ensure that the passenger's belongings comply with airline regulations. If any regulations are violated, such as the amount of liquid or the type of electronic device, the generative AI issues an alert and requests that the baggage be reinspected. Furthermore, the generative AI notifies passengers of the baggage inspection results in real time. Passengers can check on their smartphones or airport displays whether their baggage has passed inspection. This allows passengers to monitor the progress of baggage inspection and shortens waiting times. This system will fully automate baggage inspection at airports, freeing up manpower and shortening passenger waiting times. Generative AI will also perform detailed analysis of baggage contents, improving the accuracy of detecting dangerous and prohibited items and enhancing airport safety. This allows the baggage inspection system to free up manpower and shorten passenger waiting times.

[0066] The scanning unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of scanning based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the scanning unit can delay the timing of scanning to give the user time to relax. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the scanning unit can speed up the timing of scanning to perform processing quickly. The scanning unit can also perform scanning at a normal timing if the user is relaxed. For example, if the user is nervous, the scanning unit can delay the timing of scanning to give the user time to relax. This adjusts the timing of scanning according to the user's emotions, thereby reducing the user's stress. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a 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-mentioned processing in the scanning unit can be performed using, for example, the generation AI.

For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can provide a detailed notification and suggest specific countermeasures. This allows the user to deepen their understanding by providing an optimal notification based on the importance of the baggage inspection results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input baggage inspection result data into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the level of detail of the notification.
[0086] When notifying, the notification unit can apply different notification algorithms depending on the category of the baggage inspection results. For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can apply an emergency notification algorithm to quickly notify the user. For example, if the baggage contains prohibited items, the notification unit can apply a normal notification algorithm to notify the user. Furthermore, if the baggage complies with regulations, the notification unit can also apply a simplified notification algorithm to notify the user. For example, if the baggage contains dangerous goods, the notification unit can apply an emergency notification algorithm to quickly notify the user. This allows the user to understand the information more effectively by providing an optimal notification according to the category of the baggage inspection results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input category data of the baggage inspection results into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and apply a different notification algorithm.
[0087] The notification unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of notifications based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the notification unit can increase the priority of notifications and provide results quickly. For example, if the user is relaxed, the notification unit can provide notifications with normal priority. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the notification unit can increase the priority of notifications and provide results quickly. For example, if the user is nervous, the notification unit can increase the priority of notifications and provide results quickly. This allows the user's stress to be reduced by adjusting the priority of notifications according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a 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-mentioned processing in the notification unit can be performed using, for example, the generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's facial expression data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data to estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of notifications.
[0088] At the time of notification, the notification unit can adjust the notification settings based on the time when the baggage inspection results were submitted. For example, if the baggage was submitted early in the morning, the notification unit can set stricter notification settings than usual. For example, if the baggage was submitted late at night, the notification unit can set lenient notification settings than usual. The notification unit can also set standard notification settings if the baggage was submitted during peak hours. For example, if the baggage was submitted early in the morning, the notification unit can set stricter notification settings than usual. This improves the accuracy of notifications by applying optimal notification settings according to the time when the baggage was submitted. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input baggage submission time data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the notification settings.
[0089] The notification unit can improve the accuracy of the notification by referring to literature related to the baggage inspection results when notifying the user. For example, if the baggage inspection results relate to a new electronic device, the notification unit can provide the notification by referring to the literature. For example, if the baggage inspection results relate to a special chemical substance, the notification unit can provide the notification by referring to the literature. The notification unit can also provide the notification by referring to the literature when the baggage inspection results relate to an unknown item. For example, if the baggage inspection results relate to a new electronic device, the notification unit can provide the notification by referring to the literature. By referring to the literature, the accuracy of the notification is improved. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input literature data related to the baggage inspection results into a generation AI, which can analyze the data to improve the accuracy of the notification. === Hard Collateral 1-1 === Each of the multiple elements, including the scanning unit, analyzing unit, detecting unit, and notifying unit, described above, is realized, for example, by at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing device 12.

[0090] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0091] The scanning unit can monitor the health condition of the baggage owner and adjust the scanning intensity and method according to their health condition. For example, if the owner has heart disease, the scanning intensity can be lowered to ensure safety. If the owner is pregnant, certain scanning methods can be avoided. Also, if the owner has allergies, the use of chemical sensors can be avoided. This improves safety and accuracy by applying the optimal scanning method according to the owner's health condition.
[0092] The analysis unit can refer to the occupational information of the baggage owner and adjust the level of analysis detail depending on the occupation. For example, if the owner is a scientist, a detailed analysis of chemical substances can be performed. If the owner is an engineer, a detailed analysis of electronic devices can be performed. Also, if the owner is a medical professional, a detailed analysis of medical equipment can be performed. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying the optimal analysis method depending on the owner's occupation.
[0093] The detection unit can estimate the travel purpose of the baggage owner and adjust the detection criteria according to the purpose of the trip. For example, if the owner is traveling for business, the detection criteria for electronic devices can be stricter. If the owner is traveling for sightseeing, the detection criteria for souvenirs can be looser. Also, if the owner is traveling with family, the detection criteria for children's items can be looser. This improves detection accuracy by applying the optimal detection criteria according to the owner's travel purpose.
[0094] The notification unit can automatically change the notification language based on the language setting of the baggage owner. For example, if the owner speaks English, the notification can be made in English. If the owner speaks Japanese, the notification can be made in Japanese. Also, if the owner speaks multiple languages, the notification can be made in multiple languages as options. This allows the owner to understand the notification better by applying the optimal notification method according to their language setting.
[0095] The scanning unit can refer to the baggage owner's past scan history and adjust the scan settings based on that history. For example, if the owner has a history of bringing in dangerous items in the past, the intensity of the scan can be increased. If the owner has passed the scan without any problems in the past, the normal scan settings can be applied. Also, if the owner is being scanned for the first time, the standard scan settings can be applied. This improves the accuracy of the scan by applying the optimal scan settings based on the owner's past scan history.
[0096] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of analysis based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the analysis priority can be increased to provide results quickly. If the user is relaxed, the analysis can be performed with normal priority. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis priority can be increased to provide results quickly. In this way, the user's stress can be reduced by adjusting the analysis priority according to the user's emotions.
[0097] The detection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the detection criteria based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the detection criteria can be tightened to provide a sense of security. If the user is relaxed, detection can be performed using normal criteria. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the detection criteria can be loosened to allow for quick processing. In this way, adjusting the detection criteria according to the user's emotions increases the user's sense of security.
[0098] The notification unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification expression method based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the notification can be made in a calm expression method. If the user is relaxed, the notification can be made in a normal expression method. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the notification can be made in a concise and quick expression method. In this way, by adjusting the notification expression method according to the user's emotions, the user's stress can be reduced.
[0099] The scanning unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of scanning based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the scanning priority can be lowered to give the user time to relax. If the user is in a hurry, the scanning priority can be increased to speed up the process. Also, if the user is relaxed, scanning can be performed at normal priority. In this way, adjusting the scanning priority according to the user's emotions can reduce the user's stress.
[0100] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the level of detail of the analysis can be increased to provide a sense of security. If the user is relaxed, the analysis can be performed at a normal level of detail. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the level of detail of the analysis can be reduced to speed up the process. In this way, adjusting the level of detail of the analysis according to the user's emotions increases the user's sense of security.

The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.

[0138] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0139] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0140] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0141] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.
[0142] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0143] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0144] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0145] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.
[0146] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.
[0147] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.
[0148] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0149] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0150] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0151] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0152] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0153] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.
[0154] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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."
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
