[0603] This invention provides a system that monitors the mental stress and health status of passengers in autonomous vehicles in real time and offers appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions. The specific system configuration and its operation are described below.
[0604] System Configuration
[0605] The system consists of the following main components:
[0606] 1. User's equipment
[0607] A device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) for entering health information and receiving suggestions.
[0608] 2. Sensor devices
[0609] A heart rate sensor that measures heart rate (e.g., Polar H9).
[0610] A skin electromechanist (e.g., Empatica E4) that measures the electrical response of the skin.
[0611] 3. Camera device
[0612] A camera used to capture facial expressions and analyze emotions (e.g., a camera built into a vehicle).
[0613] 4. Server
[0614] A central system that stores and analyzes health information and emotional data, and generates recommendations.
[0615] 5. Artificial Intelligence Engine
[0616] A module that uses AI technologies for natural language processing and data analysis. It integrates an emotion engine and has the ability to analyze the user's emotions from input data.
[0617] 6. Display Device
[0618] A device for displaying generated suggestions.
[0619] Operation details
[0620] 1. Data Collection
[0621] The user's device inputs health information (e.g., blood glucose levels, weight, exercise habits) and sends it to the server.
[0622] The system collects heart rate and skin electrical response data in real time from sensor devices and captures passenger facial expression data from camera devices.
[0623] 2. Data Analysis and Evaluation
[0624] The server receives and stores transmitted health information, heart rate data from biosensors, and skin electrical response data.
[0625] The system analyzes facial expression data from camera devices and uses an emotion engine to evaluate the emotional state of passengers.
[0626] 3. Proposal generation
[0627] The server uses an AI engine to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on health information, heart rate, skin electrical responses, and emotional data.
[0628] Specific examples include "recommending the playback of relaxation music" and "suggesting deep breathing exercises."
[0629] 4. Proposal display and feedback collection
[0630] The generated suggestions are presented to the user through a display device.
[0631] Users provide feedback on the suggestions and send that feedback information to the server.
[0632] The server receives feedback information and incorporates it into the next proposal generation.
[0633] Specific example
[0634] Example prompt message: When your heart rate is high and emotion analysis identifies you as "anxious".
[0635] Prompt message: Heart rate 95, skin electrical response 0.75, anxiety
[0636] This system will enable real-time monitoring of passengers' stress levels and health status in autonomous vehicles, and will immediately provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[0637] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[0638] Step 1:
[0639] The user inputs health information. Specifically, the user uses an input device such as a smartphone to enter health information such as blood glucose levels, weight, and exercise habits into the application. The entered data is sent to the server by the device. The input consists of numerical data such as blood glucose levels and weight, which is then sent to the server.
[0640] Step 2:
[0641] The server receives the transmitted health information and stores it in the database. The server receives the user's health information and records it in the database. The health information is stored accurately because it will be used for subsequent analysis. At this stage, the input is the health information from the user, and the output is the health information stored in the database.
[0642] Step 3:
[0643] Real-time data collection begins using sensor devices (heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter) and a camera device. The terminal collects heart rate and electrodermal response data from the heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter, and captures the passenger's facial expressions with the camera device. The inputs collected are heart rate, electrodermal response, and facial expression data, which are then sent to the server.
[0644] Step 4:
[0645] The server receives and stores the collected biosensor data and camera device data. The received data is recorded in a database. The input is biometric data from the sensor device and camera device, and the output is the stored biometric data.
[0646] Step 5:
[0647] The server analyzes facial expression data from the camera device and uses an artificial intelligence engine to evaluate emotional states. Specifically, the collected facial expression data is processed as images and input into an emotion recognition model. The AI engine analyzes the emotional state and identifies emotions such as "anxiety" or "loneliness." The input is facial expression data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.
[0648] Step 6:
[0649] The server uses a generative AI model to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on stored health information, biosensor data, and emotional states. The AI engine comprehensively analyzes multiple data points to generate suggestions tailored to the user. Specific examples include "Play relaxation music" and "Perform deep breathing exercises." Inputs are health information, biosensor data, and emotional analysis results, while output is the suggested content.
[0650] Step 7:
[0651] The server sends the generated suggestions to the terminal. The terminal displays the received suggestions on a display device, visually presenting them to the user. As output, the user can then review the suggestions.
[0652] Step 8:
[0653] The user decides whether to implement the suggested method and enters feedback. If the user implements the suggested method, they enter feedback such as "I tried it" or "It was effective" into the terminal. This input is the feedback content and is sent to the server.
[0654] Step 9:
[0655] The server receives user feedback and stores it in a database. This feedback information is used to generate suggestions for future updates. The input is user feedback, and the output is the stored feedback information.
[0656] This allows the system to monitor the user's health and mental state in real time and provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[0657] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0658] Data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (registered trademark) (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include those described above. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions shown by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data.

[1249] 6. Display Device
[1250] A device for displaying generated suggestions.
[1251] Operation details
[1252] 1. Data Collection
[1253] The user's device inputs health information (e.g., blood glucose levels, weight, exercise habits) and sends it to the server.
[1254] The system collects heart rate and skin electrical response data in real time from sensor devices and captures passenger facial expression data from camera devices.
[1255] 2. Data Analysis and Evaluation
[1256] The server receives and stores transmitted health information, heart rate data from biosensors, and skin electrical response data.
[1257] The system analyzes facial expression data from camera devices and uses an emotion engine to evaluate the emotional state of passengers.
[1258] 3. Proposal generation
[1259] The server uses an AI engine to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on health information, heart rate, skin electrical responses, and emotional data.
[1260] Specific examples include "recommending the playback of relaxation music" and "suggesting deep breathing exercises."
[1261] 4. Proposal display and feedback collection
[1262] The generated suggestions are presented to the user through a display device.
[1263] Users provide feedback on the suggestions and send that feedback information to the server.
[1264] The server receives feedback information and incorporates it into the next proposal generation.
[1265] Specific example
[1266] Example prompt message: When your heart rate is high and emotion analysis identifies you as "anxious".
[1267] Prompt message: Heart rate 95, skin electrical response 0.75, anxiety
[1268] This system will enable real-time monitoring of passengers' stress levels and health status in autonomous vehicles, and will immediately provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[1269] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[1270] Step 1:
[1271] The user inputs health information. Specifically, the user uses an input device such as a smartphone to enter health information such as blood glucose levels, weight, and exercise habits into the application. The entered data is sent to the server by the device. The input consists of numerical data such as blood glucose levels and weight, which is then sent to the server.
[1272] Step 2:
[1273] The server receives the transmitted health information and stores it in the database. The server receives the user's health information and records it in the database. The health information is stored accurately because it will be used for subsequent analysis. At this stage, the input is the health information from the user, and the output is the health information stored in the database.
[1274] Step 3:
[1275] Real-time data collection begins using sensor devices (heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter) and a camera device. The terminal collects heart rate and electrodermal response data from the heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter, and captures the passenger's facial expressions with the camera device. The inputs collected are heart rate, electrodermal response, and facial expression data, which are then sent to the server.
[1276] Step 4:
[1277] The server receives and stores the collected biosensor data and camera device data. The received data is recorded in a database. The input is biometric data from the sensor device and camera device, and the output is the stored biometric data.
[1278] Step 5:
[1279] The server analyzes facial expression data from the camera device and uses an artificial intelligence engine to evaluate emotional states. Specifically, the collected facial expression data is processed as images and input into an emotion recognition model. The AI engine analyzes the emotional state and identifies emotions such as "anxiety" or "loneliness." The input is facial expression data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.
[1280] Step 6:
[1281] The server uses a generative AI model to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on stored health information, biosensor data, and emotional states. The AI engine comprehensively analyzes multiple data points to generate suggestions tailored to the user. Specific examples include "Play relaxation music" and "Perform deep breathing exercises." Inputs are health information, biosensor data, and emotional analysis results, while output is the suggested content.
[1282] Step 7:
[1283] The server sends the generated suggestions to the terminal. The terminal displays the received suggestions on a display device, visually presenting them to the user. As output, the user can then review the suggestions.
[1284] Step 8:
[1285] The user decides whether to implement the suggested method and enters feedback. If the user implements the suggested method, they enter feedback such as "I tried it" or "It was effective" into the terminal. This input is the feedback content and is sent to the server.
[1286] Step 9:
[1287] The server receives user feedback and stores it in a database. This feedback information is used to generate suggestions for future updates. The input is user feedback, and the output is the stored feedback information.
[1288] This allows the system to monitor the user's health and mental state in real time and provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[1289] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1290] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include those described above. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions shown by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1879] 5. Artificial Intelligence Engine
[1880] A module that uses AI technologies for natural language processing and data analysis. It integrates an emotion engine and has the ability to analyze the user's emotions from input data.
[1881] 6. Display Device
[1882] A device for displaying generated suggestions.
[1883] Operation details
[1884] 1. Data Collection
[1885] The user's device inputs health information (e.g., blood glucose levels, weight, exercise habits) and sends it to the server.
[1886] The system collects heart rate and skin electrical response data in real time from sensor devices and captures passenger facial expression data from camera devices.
[1887] 2. Data Analysis and Evaluation
[1888] The server receives and stores transmitted health information, heart rate data from biosensors, and skin electrical response data.
[1889] The system analyzes facial expression data from camera devices and uses an emotion engine to evaluate the emotional state of passengers.
[1890] 3. Proposal generation
[1891] The server uses an AI engine to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on health information, heart rate, skin electrical responses, and emotional data.
[1892] Specific examples include "recommending the playback of relaxation music" and "suggesting deep breathing exercises."
[1893] 4. Proposal display and feedback collection
[1894] The generated suggestions are presented to the user through a display device.
[1895] Users provide feedback on the suggestions and send that feedback information to the server.
[1896] The server receives feedback information and incorporates it into the next proposal generation.
[1897] Specific example
[1898] Example prompt message: When your heart rate is high and emotion analysis identifies you as "anxious".
[1899] Prompt message: Heart rate 95, skin electrical response 0.75, anxiety
[1900] This system will enable real-time monitoring of passengers' stress levels and health status in autonomous vehicles, and will immediately provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[1901] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[1902] Step 1:
[1903] The user inputs health information. Specifically, the user uses an input device such as a smartphone to enter health information such as blood glucose levels, weight, and exercise habits into the application. The entered data is sent to the server by the device. The input consists of numerical data such as blood glucose levels and weight, which is then sent to the server.
[1904] Step 2:
[1905] The server receives the transmitted health information and stores it in the database. The server receives the user's health information and records it in the database. The health information is stored accurately because it will be used for subsequent analysis. At this stage, the input is the health information from the user, and the output is the health information stored in the database.
[1906] Step 3:
[1907] Real-time data collection begins using sensor devices (heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter) and a camera device. The terminal collects heart rate and electrodermal response data from the heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter, and captures the passenger's facial expressions with the camera device. The inputs collected are heart rate, electrodermal response, and facial expression data, which are then sent to the server.
[1908] Step 4:
[1909] The server receives and stores the collected biosensor data and camera device data. The received data is recorded in a database. The input is biometric data from the sensor device and camera device, and the output is the stored biometric data.
[1910] Step 5:
[1911] The server analyzes facial expression data from the camera device and uses an artificial intelligence engine to evaluate emotional states. Specifically, the collected facial expression data is processed as images and input into an emotion recognition model. The AI engine analyzes the emotional state and identifies emotions such as "anxiety" or "loneliness." The input is facial expression data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.
[1912] Step 6:
[1913] The server uses a generative AI model to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on stored health information, biosensor data, and emotional states. The AI engine comprehensively analyzes multiple data points to generate suggestions tailored to the user. Specific examples include "Play relaxation music" and "Perform deep breathing exercises." Inputs are health information, biosensor data, and emotional analysis results, while output is the suggested content.
[1914] Step 7:
[1915] The server sends the generated suggestions to the terminal. The terminal displays the received suggestions on a display device, visually presenting them to the user. As output, the user can then review the suggestions.
[1916] Step 8:
[1917] The user decides whether to implement the suggested method and enters feedback. If the user implements the suggested method, they enter feedback such as "I tried it" or "It was effective" into the terminal. This input is the feedback content and is sent to the server.
[1918] Step 9:
[1919] The server receives user feedback and stores it in a database. This feedback information is used to generate suggestions for future updates. The input is user feedback, and the output is the stored feedback information.
[1920] This allows the system to monitor the user's health and mental state in real time and provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[1921] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1922] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include those described above. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions shown by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[2317] Specific example: Click the share button to send the provided information to family members via email.
[2318] 4. Terminal: Notifies the server of the sharing action, and the server sends the information using the selected sharing method (e.g., email, social media).
[2319] Specific example: An email sent to a family member contains educational information.
[2320] In this way, by combining the emotional engine, the present invention can provide diabetic patients and their families with more detailed and personalized stress management and healthy lifestyle suggestions, thereby improving the mental and physical health of users.
[2321] The following describes the processing flow.
[2322] Step 1:
[2323] The user launches the application and enters basic information such as name, email address, password, height, weight, and blood sugar level on the new registration screen.
[2324] Step 2:
[2325] The terminal sends the entered information to the server.
[2326] Step 3:
[2327] The server saves the received information to the database.
[2328] Step 4:
[2329] The user accesses the in-app chat function and enters their feelings or mental state, such as "I've been feeling stressed lately."
[2330] Step 5:
[2331] The device sends the user's message to the server.
[2332] Step 6:
[2333] The server uses an emotion engine to analyze the user's message to determine their emotions. For example, it might extract emotions like "stress" and "worry" from the user's input, "I've been feeling stressed lately and it's really bothering me."
[2334] Step 7:
[2335] The server evaluates the mental state based on the results of the emotion analysis and determines the stress level.
[2336] Step 8:
[2337] Based on the emotion analysis results, the server generates personalized stress management methods (e.g., deep breathing exercises, meditation) and lifestyle suggestions (e.g., balanced diet, regular exercise).
[2338] Step 9:
[2339] The terminal displays suggestions received from the server to the user. For example, "We recommend doing deep breathing exercises for 10 minutes every day."
[2340] Step 10:
[2341] The user reviews the proposal and decides whether to implement it. If they decide to implement it, they provide feedback such as "I'll give it a try."
[2342] Step 11:
[2343] The device sends user feedback to the server.
[2344] Step 12:
[2345] The server saves user feedback and uses it to improve future suggestions. It also evaluates the effectiveness of suggestions based on the feedback.
[2346] Step 13:
[2347] The server generates information on basic knowledge and support methods related to diabetes, and creates content for sharing with family and friends.
[2348] Step 14:
[2349] The device displays educational information to the user and provides options (e.g., a share button) for sharing it with family and friends.
[2350] Step 15:
[2351] Users click the share button to share information with family and friends.
[2352] Step 16:
[2353] The device notifies the server of the sharing action.
[2354] Step 17:
[2355] The server sends information using the selected sharing method (e.g., email, social media). For example, it might send an email containing educational information to a family member.
[2356] In this way, the overall processing flow of the system operates in concrete terms.
[2357] (Example 2)
[2358] Next, we will describe Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[2359] To provide effective mental stress management and lifestyle improvement suggestions to diabetic patients and their families and friends, it is necessary to accurately analyze the health and mental state of each individual user and generate customized suggestions. However, conventional systems have faced challenges in providing individually tailored suggestions due to insufficient emotional analysis and detailed feedback collection.
[2360] The identification process performed by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Example 2 is realized by the following means.
[2361] In this invention, the server includes means for users to input and transmit personal information and health-related information; means for storing the transmitted information and recording it in a database; means for using an artificial intelligence module to analyze the user's input data; means for customizing and generating stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on the input data and analysis results; terminal device means for presenting the generated suggestions to the user; means for collecting, analyzing, and storing user feedback; and means for generating and providing health-related educational and support information. This makes it possible to provide customized suggestions in real time based on each user's individual health and mental state.
[2362] "User" refers to an individual who uses the system to manage and receive suggestions regarding their health information and mental state.
[2363] "Personal information" refers to basic data used to identify a user, such as name, age, and gender.
[2364] "Health-related information" refers to data that indicates the user's health status, such as blood glucose levels, weight, and exercise habits.
[2365] A "server" refers to a central computing system that stores data, performs analysis, and generates proposals.
[2366] A "sentiment analysis engine" refers to a technology module that recognizes and analyzes a user's emotions from input text and data.

[2485] (Application Example 2)
[2486] Next, we will explain application example 2. In the following explanation, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as the "server" and the robot 414 as the "terminal".
[2487] A system is needed to monitor the mental stress and health status of passengers in autonomous vehicles in real time and to provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions. Conventional systems have been unable to adequately monitor the mental and health status of passengers, which is crucial for maintaining safe driving, and have been unable to take appropriate action.
[2488] The specific processing performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in Application Example 2 is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes means for using a biosensor to monitor health status, means for using a camera to analyze emotions, and means for evaluating the passenger's mental state based on data from the camera and biosensor. This makes it possible to monitor the stress level and health status of passengers in an autonomous vehicle in real time and to immediately provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[2489] "Means for inputting and transmitting health information" refers to a device that allows users to input their own health data (e.g., blood sugar levels, heart rate, weight, etc.) and transmit that information to a server within the system.
[2490] A "server system for storing transmitted health information" refers to a central system for receiving health information transmitted by users and securely storing it in a database.
[2491] "Means for analyzing mental state" refers to devices or software that analyze user input or data from biosensors to evaluate the user's emotions and mental state.
[2492] "Means for generating stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions" refers to a device or software that generates stress management methods and lifestyle improvement suggestions suitable for the user based on analyzed information about the user's mental state.
[2493] "Display device for displaying generated suggestions" refers to a device for visually presenting to the user stress management and lifestyle habit suggestions generated by the system.
[2494] "Means for collecting and storing user feedback" refers to a device or software for collecting feedback on suggestions made by users and storing that information in a database within the system.
[2495] "Methods using biosensors to monitor health status" refer to devices that collect physiological data from users in real time, such as heart rate and skin electrical responses.
[2496] "Methods using cameras to analyze emotions" refer to imaging devices that detect the user's facial expressions and posture and evaluate their emotions based on that information.
[2497] "Means for evaluating passengers' mental state based on data from cameras and biosensors" refers to a device or software that analyzes data collected from cameras and biosensors to comprehensively evaluate the mental state of users.
[2498] "Means of suggesting relaxation music or exercises while driving" refers to a device or software that suggests music or exercise methods with relaxation effects based on the user's mental state.
[2499] "Means for generating and providing information on basic knowledge and support methods regarding diabetes" refers to devices or software that generate and provide information to help users and their families understand and appropriately manage diabetes.
[2500] This invention provides a system that monitors the mental stress and health status of passengers in autonomous vehicles in real time and offers appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions. The specific system configuration and its operation are described below.
[2501] System Configuration
[2502] The system consists of the following main components:
[2503] 1. User's equipment
[2504] A device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) for entering health information and receiving suggestions.
[2505] 2. Sensor devices
[2506] A heart rate sensor that measures heart rate (e.g., Polar H9).
[2507] A skin electromechanist (e.g., Empatica E4) that measures the electrical response of the skin.
[2508] 3. Camera device
[2509] A camera used to capture facial expressions and analyze emotions (e.g., a camera built into a vehicle).
[2510] 4. Server
[2511] A central system that stores and analyzes health information and emotional data, and generates recommendations.
[2512] 5. Artificial Intelligence Engine
[2513] A module that uses AI technologies for natural language processing and data analysis. It integrates an emotion engine and has the ability to analyze the user's emotions from input data.
[2514] 6. Display Device
[2515] A device for displaying generated suggestions.
[2516] Operation details
[2517] 1. Data Collection
[2518] The user's device inputs health information (e.g., blood glucose levels, weight, exercise habits) and sends it to the server.
[2519] The system collects heart rate and skin electrical response data in real time from sensor devices and captures passenger facial expression data from camera devices.
[2520] 2. Data Analysis and Evaluation
[2521] The server receives and stores transmitted health information, heart rate data from biosensors, and skin electrical response data.
[2522] The system analyzes facial expression data from camera devices and uses an emotion engine to evaluate the emotional state of passengers.
[2523] 3. Proposal generation
[2524] The server uses an AI engine to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on health information, heart rate, skin electrical responses, and emotional data.
[2525] Specific examples include "recommending the playback of relaxation music" and "suggesting deep breathing exercises."
[2526] 4. Proposal display and feedback collection
[2527] The generated suggestions are presented to the user through a display device.
[2528] Users provide feedback on the suggestions and send that feedback information to the server.
[2529] The server receives feedback information and incorporates it into the next proposal generation.
[2530] Specific example
[2531] Example prompt message: When your heart rate is high and emotion analysis identifies you as "anxious".
[2532] Prompt message: Heart rate 95, skin electrical response 0.75, anxiety
[2533] This system will enable real-time monitoring of passengers' stress levels and health status in autonomous vehicles, and will immediately provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[2534] The flow of a specific process in Application Example 2 will be explained using Figure 14.
[2535] Step 1:
[2536] The user inputs health information. Specifically, the user uses an input device such as a smartphone to enter health information such as blood glucose levels, weight, and exercise habits into the application. The entered data is sent to the server by the device. The input consists of numerical data such as blood glucose levels and weight, which is then sent to the server.
[2537] Step 2:
[2538] The server receives the transmitted health information and stores it in the database. The server receives the user's health information and records it in the database. The health information is stored accurately because it will be used for subsequent analysis. At this stage, the input is the health information from the user, and the output is the health information stored in the database.
[2539] Step 3:
[2540] Real-time data collection begins using sensor devices (heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter) and a camera device. The terminal collects heart rate and electrodermal response data from the heart rate sensor and electrodermal meter, and captures the passenger's facial expressions with the camera device. The inputs collected are heart rate, electrodermal response, and facial expression data, which are then sent to the server.
[2541] Step 4:
[2542] The server receives and stores the collected biosensor data and camera device data. The received data is recorded in a database. The input is biometric data from the sensor device and camera device, and the output is the stored biometric data.
[2543] Step 5:
[2544] The server analyzes facial expression data from the camera device and uses an artificial intelligence engine to evaluate emotional states. Specifically, the collected facial expression data is processed as images and input into an emotion recognition model. The AI engine analyzes the emotional state and identifies emotions such as "anxiety" or "loneliness." The input is facial expression data, and the output is the result of the emotion analysis.
[2545] Step 6:
[2546] The server uses a generative AI model to generate stress management methods and lifestyle suggestions based on stored health information, biosensor data, and emotional states. The AI engine comprehensively analyzes multiple data points to generate suggestions tailored to the user. Specific examples include "Play relaxation music" and "Perform deep breathing exercises." Inputs are health information, biosensor data, and emotional analysis results, while output is the suggested content.
[2547] Step 7:
[2548] The server sends the generated suggestions to the terminal. The terminal displays the received suggestions on a display device, visually presenting them to the user. As output, the user can then review the suggestions.
[2549] Step 8:
[2550] The user decides whether to implement the suggested method and enters feedback. If the user implements the suggested method, they enter feedback such as "I tried it" or "It was effective" into the terminal. This input is the feedback content and is sent to the server.
[2551] Step 9:
[2552] The server receives user feedback and stores it in a database. This feedback information is used to generate suggestions for future updates. The input is user feedback, and the output is the stored feedback information.
[2553] This allows the system to monitor the user's health and mental state in real time and provide appropriate stress management and lifestyle suggestions.
[2554] 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 controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[2555] Data generation model 58 is a type of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). One example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search) <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">Examples of generative AI include those described above. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images. The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions shown by the prompts, and outputs the inference results in data formats such as audio data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[2556] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the specific processing may also be performed by the robot 414.
[2557] 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.
[2558] Figure 9 shows an 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. In the upper and lower directions of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. Also, the upper side of the concentric circles is where "pleasant" emotions are located, and the lower side is where "unpleasant" emotions are located. In this way, 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.
[2559] 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.
[2560] 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.
[2561] 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, motorcycles, etc., 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, for example, based 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.
[2562] 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."
[2563] 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.
