[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure.

The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The equipment failure prediction system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes information obtained not only from syslog and traps that can be viewed by operators of each device in the SB network, but also from CIP-level information of each device used for vendor analysis, in order to predict the occurrence of equipment failures and perform replacements in advance. This system collects syslog, trap, and CIP-level information from each device, analyzes the collected information to evaluate the status of the equipment, predicts the occurrence of equipment failures based on the analysis results, and performs replacements in advance as necessary. For example, it collects syslog, trap, and CIP-level information from each device. At this time, information is collected periodically in order to understand the status of each device in detail. For example, information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and temperature of each device is collected. This makes it possible to monitor the status of each device in real time. Next, the collected information is analyzed to evaluate the status of the equipment. AI can be used for the analysis. The AI evaluates the status of the equipment based on the collected information and determines whether an abnormality has occurred. For example, it can issue a warning if there is a possibility of an abnormality, such as if the CPU usage is abnormally high or the temperature is abnormally high. Furthermore, it predicts the occurrence of equipment failures based on the analysis results and performs replacements in advance as necessary. The AI can predict the occurrence of equipment failures based on past data. For example, if equipment failure occurred in the past when a similar condition occurred, it can be predicted that equipment failure is highly likely to occur again if that condition occurs. This allows for proactive replacement before equipment failure occurs. This system can prevent service interruptions due to equipment failure. For example, in a communication network, equipment failure can disrupt communication, but this system allows for proactive replacement before equipment failure occurs, thus preventing communication interruptions. Furthermore, proactive replacement before equipment failure occurs reduces the time and cost associated with repairs and replacements. In this way, the equipment failure prediction system can prevent service interruptions due to equipment failure.
[0029] The equipment failure prediction system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a prediction unit, and a replacement unit. The collection unit collects syslog, trap, and CIP-level information from each device. The collection unit collects information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and temperature for each device. For example, the collection unit periodically collects syslog from each device to obtain error logs and warning messages. The collection unit can also collect traps from each device in real time to obtain status information. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect CIP-level information for each device to understand its detailed status. For example, the collection unit periodically monitors the CPU usage of each device to detect abnormal usage. The collection unit can also monitor the memory usage of each device to detect anomalies such as memory leaks. The collection unit can also measure the temperature of each device to detect overheating. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit to evaluate the status of the equipment. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the collected information and evaluate the status of the equipment. For example, the analysis unit uses deep learning to analyze the collected information and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also evaluate the status of the equipment using a neural network. The analysis unit can, for example, execute an anomaly detection algorithm based on the collected information to detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also evaluate the status of the equipment based on the collected information and determine whether it is in a normal or abnormal state. The prediction unit predicts the occurrence of equipment failure based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The prediction unit can, for example, use a machine learning model that predicts the occurrence of equipment failure based on past data. The prediction unit can, for example, use a regression model to predict the occurrence of equipment failure. The prediction unit can also predict the occurrence of equipment failure using a classification model. The prediction unit can, for example, calculate the probability of equipment failure occurring based on past data and evaluate the risk of failure. The prediction unit can also predict the timing of equipment failure based on past data. The replacement unit performs replacements in advance based on the equipment failures predicted by the prediction unit. The replacement unit can, for example, perform replacement work before the equipment failures predicted by the prediction unit occur. The replacement unit can, for example, prioritize replacing equipment with a high predicted failure risk. The replacement unit can also plan replacement work based on the predicted failure timing.As a result, the equipment failure prediction system according to the embodiment can prevent service interruptions due to equipment failure. Some or all of the above-described processes in the replacement unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the replacement unit can plan replacement work using an AI model that takes the failure risk predicted by the prediction unit as input and outputs the timing of replacement work. For example, the output unit displays the replacement work plan through a web application or a mobile application. If feedback on paper is desired, the plan can be printed using a printer. Sending by email provides quick feedback by sending the plan directly to the person in charge of the work. Some or all of the above-described processes in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.
[0030] The data collection unit can collect information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and temperature for each device. For example, the data collection unit can periodically monitor the CPU usage of each device and detect abnormal usage. For example, the data collection unit can issue a warning if the CPU usage reaches 80% or higher. The data collection unit can also monitor the memory usage of each device and detect abnormalities such as memory leaks. For example, the data collection unit can issue a warning if the memory usage reaches 90% or higher. The data collection unit can also measure the temperature of each device and detect overheating. For example, the data collection unit can issue a warning if the temperature reaches 70 degrees or higher. This allows for a detailed understanding of the status of each device. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input information such as the CPU usage, memory usage, and temperature of each device into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform abnormality detection.
[0031] The analysis unit can analyze the collected information using AI and evaluate the status of the equipment. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected information using deep learning and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can use a deep learning model to learn anomaly patterns from the collected information and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also evaluate the status of the equipment using a neural network. For example, the analysis unit can use a neural network model to evaluate the status of the equipment from the collected information and determine whether it is in a normal or abnormal state. The analysis unit can also execute an anomaly detection algorithm based on the collected information and detect anomalies. For example, the analysis unit can use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect anomalies from the collected information and issue a warning. This improves the accuracy of equipment status evaluation by using AI. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected information into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform anomaly detection.
[0032] The prediction unit can use a machine learning model that predicts the occurrence of equipment failures based on past data. For example, the prediction unit can use a regression model to predict the occurrence of equipment failures. For example, the prediction unit can learn a regression model based on past data and predict the probability of equipment failures occurring. The prediction unit can also use a classification model to predict the occurrence of equipment failures. For example, the prediction unit can learn a classification model based on past data and predict the timing of equipment failures occurring. The prediction unit can also calculate the probability of equipment failures occurring based on past data and evaluate the risk of failure. For example, the prediction unit can calculate the probability of equipment failures occurring based on past data and identify equipment with a high risk of failure. This makes it possible to predict the occurrence of equipment failures with high accuracy based on past data. Some or all of the above processing in the prediction unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without using a generative AI. For example, the prediction unit can input past data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the prediction of equipment failures.
[0033] The replacement unit can perform replacements in advance based on equipment failures predicted by the prediction unit. For example, the replacement unit can perform replacement work before the equipment failure predicted by the prediction unit occurs. For example, the replacement unit can prioritize replacing equipment with a high predicted failure risk. The replacement unit can also plan replacement work based on the predicted failure timing. For example, the replacement unit can create a replacement work schedule based on the predicted failure timing and perform replacement work efficiently. This prevents service interruptions by performing replacements in advance before equipment failures occur. Some or all of the above processes in the replacement unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or not using a generation AI. For example, the replacement unit can input the failure risk predicted by the prediction unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the replacement work at the appropriate time.
[0034] The data collection unit can optimize the timing of information collection based on the operating time and environment of each device. For example, if the operating time of each device is long, the data collection unit can set the information collection timing to be shorter and monitor the status in real time. For example, the data collection unit can set the information collection frequency to every hour for devices with an operating time exceeding 1000 hours. The data collection unit can also set the information collection timing to be more frequent when the operating environment is harsh, enabling early detection of abnormalities. For example, the data collection unit can set the information collection frequency to every 30 minutes for devices operating in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. The data collection unit can also set the information collection timing to be longer when the operating time is short, reducing the load on the system. For example, the data collection unit can set the information collection frequency to every day for devices with an operating time of less than 100 hours. This allows for early detection of abnormalities by optimizing the timing of information collection according to the operating time and environment of each device. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without using a generation AI. For example, the data collection unit can input operating time and usage environment data for each device into the generating AI, allowing the AI to optimize the timing of information collection.
[0035] The data collection unit can customize the types of information it collects according to the type and application of the device. For example, in the case of a network device, the data collection unit can collect information on bandwidth and packet delay. For instance, the data collection unit can periodically monitor the bandwidth utilization rate of the network device and detect abnormal utilization rates. It can also monitor the packet delay time of the network device and issue a warning if a delay occurs. In the case of a server device, the data collection unit can also collect information on CPU utilization and memory utilization rates. For example, the data collection unit can periodically monitor the CPU utilization rate of the server device and detect abnormal utilization rates. It can also monitor the memory utilization rate of the server device and detect anomalies such as memory leaks. In the case of a sensor device, the data collection unit can also collect information on temperature and humidity. For example, the data collection unit can periodically measure the temperature of the sensor device and detect overheating. It can also monitor the humidity of the sensor device and detect abnormal humidity levels. This allows for more appropriate condition evaluation by collecting information according to the type and application of the device. Some or all of the above-described processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without using a generation AI. For example, the data collection unit can input information tailored to the type and purpose of the device into the generating AI, allowing the AI to customize the data collection process.
[0036] The data collection unit can prioritize collecting information from devices in a specific region, taking into account the geographical location information of each device. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting information from devices in geographically important regions. For example, the data collection unit can acquire the geographical location information of devices in geographically important regions and prioritize collecting information from devices in those regions. The data collection unit can also prioritize collecting information from devices in disaster-stricken areas. For example, the data collection unit can acquire the geographical location information of devices in disaster-stricken areas and prioritize collecting information from devices in those regions. The data collection unit can also prioritize collecting information from devices in high-traffic areas. For example, the data collection unit can acquire the geographical location information of devices in high-traffic areas and prioritize collecting information from devices in those regions. This allows for early detection of regional anomalies by prioritizing the collection of information from devices in specific regions. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the geographical location information of each device into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the priority of information collection.
[0037] The data collection unit can collect information from social media and other external data sources and use it to evaluate the condition of the device. For example, the data collection unit can collect anomaly reports from social media and use them to evaluate the condition of the device. For example, the data collection unit can analyze social media posts and collect information about device anomalies. The data collection unit can also collect environmental information from other external data sources and use it to evaluate the condition of the device. For example, the data collection unit can collect weather data and environmental sensor data and use it to evaluate the condition of the device. The data collection unit can also collect traffic information from external data sources and use it to evaluate the condition of the device. For example, the data collection unit can collect network traffic data and use it to evaluate the condition of the device. This improves the accuracy of the device condition evaluation by collecting information from external data sources. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input information from social media and other external data sources into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the device condition evaluation.

For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the frequency of abnormalities based on the device's operating time and operating conditions. The analysis unit can also analyze the state after maintenance by considering the maintenance history. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the state of the device after maintenance based on the maintenance history and predict the risk of abnormalities occurring. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of its analysis by combining the operating history and maintenance history. For example, the analysis unit can integrate the operating history and maintenance history to comprehensively evaluate the state of the device. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by considering the device's operating history and maintenance history.

[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0057] Step 1: The collection unit collects syslog, trap, and CIP-level information from each device. For example, it collects information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and temperature for each device, and periodically collects syslog to obtain error logs and warning messages.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The equipment failure prediction system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes information obtained not only from syslog and traps that can be viewed by operators of each device in the SB network, but also from CIP-level information of each device used for vendor analysis, in order to predict the occurrence of equipment failures and perform replacements in advance. This system collects syslog, trap, and CIP-level information from each device, analyzes the collected information to evaluate the status of the equipment, predicts the occurrence of equipment failures based on the analysis results, and performs replacements in advance as necessary. For example, it collects syslog, trap, and CIP-level information from each device. At this time, information is collected periodically in order to understand the status of each device in detail. For example, information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and temperature of each device is collected. This makes it possible to monitor the status of each device in real time. Next, the collected information is analyzed to evaluate the status of the equipment. AI can be used for the analysis. The AI evaluates the status of the equipment based on the collected information and determines whether an abnormality has occurred.

Furthermore, it predicts the occurrence of equipment failures based on the analysis results and performs replacements in advance as necessary. The AI can predict the occurrence of equipment failures based on past data. For example, if equipment failure occurred in the past when a similar condition occurred, it can be predicted that equipment failure is highly likely to occur again if that condition occurs. This allows for proactive replacement before equipment failure occurs. This system can prevent service interruptions due to equipment failure. For example, in a communication network, equipment failure can disrupt communication, but this system allows for proactive replacement before equipment failure occurs, thus preventing communication interruptions.

[0138] 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.

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.
[0153] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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."
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0169] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
