For example, the analysis unit can input data categories into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of analysis methods.
[0048] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the data collection timing during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of the latest data and provide results quickly. Alternatively, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of the latest data and postpone the analysis of past data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can dynamically adjust the analysis priority according to the data collection timing. This allows for the rapid analysis of the latest data by determining the analysis priority based on the data collection timing. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the data collection timing into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the analysis priority.
[0049] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of highly relevant data to provide highly accurate results. Alternatively, the analysis unit can postpone the analysis of less relevant data and prioritize the analysis of highly relevant data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can dynamically adjust the order of analysis according to the relevance of the data.

For example, the analysis unit can input the relevance of the data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the order of analysis.
[0050] The proposal unit can adjust the level of detail of its proposals based on the crop's growth stage. For example, if the crop is in the germination stage, the proposal unit will provide basic suggestions. If the crop is in the growth stage, it can provide detailed suggestions. Furthermore, if the crop is in the harvest stage, the proposal unit can provide suggestions related to harvesting. This enables appropriate agricultural management by providing suggestions according to the crop's growth stage. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal unit can input the crop's growth stage into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the level of detail of the suggestions.
[0051] The proposal unit can apply different proposal algorithms depending on the environmental data of the farmland when making a proposal. For example, if the temperature is high, the proposal unit can make a proposal regarding irrigation. If the humidity is low, the proposal unit can make a proposal regarding humidity control. Furthermore, if the soil's nutrient status is poor, the proposal unit can make a proposal regarding fertilizer use. By applying a proposal algorithm tailored to the environmental data of the farmland, appropriate agricultural management becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal unit can input the environmental data of the farmland into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of the proposal algorithm.
[0052] The proposal unit can determine the priority of proposals based on the harvest time of crops. For example, the proposal unit will prioritize proposals for crops that are close to harvest. It can also postpone proposals for crops that are far from harvest. Furthermore, the proposal unit can dynamically adjust the priority of proposals according to the harvest time. This enables efficient agricultural management by determining the priority of proposals based on the harvest time of crops. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal unit can input the harvest time of crops into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the proposal priority.
[0053] The proposal unit can adjust the order of proposals based on relevant data for farmland when making proposals. For example, the proposal unit can prioritize proposals based on highly relevant data. It can also postpone proposals based on less relevant data. Furthermore, the proposal unit can dynamically adjust the order of proposals according to the relevance of the data. This allows for efficient agricultural management by adjusting the order of proposals based on relevant data for farmland. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal unit can input relevant data for farmland into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the order of proposals.
[0054] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0055] The data collection unit can collect not only environmental data for farmland but also data to monitor the health of crops. For example, it can collect information on the color and shape of crop leaves, as well as the occurrence of pests and diseases, using cameras and image analysis technology. Furthermore, it can collect data useful for predicting crop growth rates and yields. This allows for real-time monitoring of crop health and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures.
[0056] The transmitting unit can adjust the transmission timing when sending data, taking into account the load status of the destination server. For example, if the destination server is under heavy load, the transmitting unit can temporarily delay data transmission. Conversely, if the destination server is under light load, the transmitting unit can transmit data quickly. Furthermore, the transmitting unit can also adjust the data compression ratio according to the load status of the destination server. This optimizes the load on the destination server and enables efficient data transmission.
[0057] The analysis unit can detect abnormal data by applying an anomaly detection algorithm during data analysis. For example, if there are abnormal fluctuations in temperature data, the analysis unit can use the anomaly detection algorithm to identify the cause. Furthermore, if there are abnormalities in humidity data, the analysis unit can use the anomaly detection algorithm to quickly propose countermeasures. In addition, if there are abnormalities in soil data, the analysis unit can use the anomaly detection algorithm to take appropriate measures. This allows for the rapid detection of abnormal data and the implementation of appropriate responses.
[0058] The proposal department can suggest harvest timing and sales strategies, taking into account market price data for agricultural products. For example, if current market prices are high, the department can suggest harvesting earlier. Conversely, if market prices are low, it can suggest harvesting later. Furthermore, if there is high demand in a particular market, the department can suggest sales strategies tailored to that market. This allows for the proposal of optimal harvest timing and sales strategies to maximize agricultural profits.
[0059] The proposal department can propose the next cultivation plan based on crop cultivation history data. For example, it can analyze past cultivation history data and propose the optimal crop selection and cultivation schedule. Furthermore, it can propose soil improvement methods and fertilizer usage based on past cultivation history data. In addition, it can propose pest and disease prevention measures based on past cultivation history data. This allows for the optimization of the next cultivation plan by utilizing past cultivation history data.

[0145] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0146] As shown in Figure 7, the 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.

[0160] 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 performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0161] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0162] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting 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 a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0163] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0164] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0165] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0166] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0167] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is 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 the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0168] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0169] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0170] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0171] 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.
[0172] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety 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 the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0173] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0174] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of 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). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0175] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
