[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.

In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. 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 AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that reduces the burden on teachers in elementary and junior high schools in Japan and supports their interaction with students. This AI system monitors the behavior of students during class and notifies teachers if there is any abnormality. Furthermore, the AI system aims to detect and prevent problems such as poor health, bullying, and truancy at an early stage through conversations with students. For example, the AI system monitors the behavior of students during class. In doing so, it uses image recognition, facial expression analysis, and biosensors to analyze changes in physical condition and emotions such as tension and anxiety. For example, the AI system can analyze a student's facial expression and detect signs of poor health or stress. This allows for the early detection of abnormalities in students that teachers may not easily notice. Next, the AI system detects problems such as poor health, bullying, and truancy at an early stage through conversations with students. For example, the AI system can ask students questions such as, "How are you feeling today?" and analyze the student's response to detect signs of poor health. Furthermore, the AI system can detect signs of bullying or truancy by recording what students say and performing emotional analysis. This allows teachers to detect problems they might overlook early and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the AI system explains students' situations to teachers and supports appropriate responses. For example, the AI system might notify a teacher that "Student XX seems to be unwell," helping the teacher take appropriate action. It might also alert teachers that "Student XX hasn't spoken recently," enabling more personalized attention to each student. This system reduces the workload of teachers and allows for more appropriate attention to each student. For example, it is difficult for teachers to keep track of all students during class, but with the support of the AI system, any changes in students can be detected early and appropriate action can be taken. In addition, by sensing problems through conversations with students, the AI system can prevent problems that teachers might overlook. This prevents major problems in the educational setting, reduces the burden on teachers, and enables more appropriate attention to each student.
[0029] The AI system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, an analysis unit, and a notification unit. The monitoring unit monitors the behavior of students during class. The monitoring unit can, for example, analyze students' facial expressions using image recognition technology. The monitoring unit can also monitor students' physical condition using biosensors. For example, the monitoring unit can measure heart rate and skin electrical activity to detect changes in physical condition. The monitoring unit can also analyze students' emotions using facial expression analysis technology. For example, the monitoring unit can detect students' stress and anxiety based on changes in facial expressions. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the monitoring unit. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze the data using machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also analyze the data using data mining technology. For example, the analysis unit can detect outliers by comparing them with past data. The analysis unit can also analyze changes in students' emotions using emotion analysis algorithms. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of students' statements to detect changes in their emotions. The notification unit notifies the teacher based on the results obtained by the analysis unit. The notification unit can notify teachers, for example, using email or alerts. The notification unit can also refer to teachers' schedules and send notifications at the optimal time. For example, it can send notifications after class has ended. Furthermore, the notification unit can refer to teachers' past response history and suggest the most appropriate response. For example, it can suggest effective response methods based on past response history. This allows the AI system according to the embodiment to reduce the burden on teachers and detect student abnormalities early. Some or all of the above-described processes in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the notification unit can send notifications using an AI model that takes the results obtained by the analysis unit as input and outputs notification content.
[0030] The monitoring unit monitors students' behavior during lessons. Specifically, it uses cameras and microphones installed in the classroom to monitor students' facial expressions and what they say in real time. By using image recognition technology to analyze students' facial expressions, it can determine, for example, whether a student is smiling, concentrating, or tired. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can also monitor students' physical condition using biosensors. These biosensors, for example, are worn by students as wristband-type devices and measure heart rate and skin electrical activity. This allows for real-time detection of changes in students' physical condition, enabling immediate action if an abnormality is detected. The monitoring unit can also analyze students' emotions using facial expression analysis technology. For example, it can detect students' stress and anxiety based on changes in their facial expressions. This allows teachers to understand students' psychological states and provide appropriate support. In addition, the monitoring unit can analyze students' speech using speech recognition technology to evaluate their level of participation and understanding in the lesson. This allows teachers to gain a detailed understanding of each student's learning situation and provide individualized instruction. The monitoring unit centrally manages this data and, by coordinating with the analysis unit and notification unit as needed, can improve the overall efficiency of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the monitoring unit. Specifically, it can analyze the data using machine learning algorithms and detect anomalies. For example, it can analyze data such as students' heart rate and skin electrical activity to detect abnormal values that exceed the normal range. It can also use data mining techniques to compare current data with past data and detect abnormal values. This allows the analysis unit to quickly grasp changes in students' physical condition and emotions and respond immediately if an anomaly occurs. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze changes in students' emotions using emotion analysis algorithms. For example, it can analyze the content of students' statements to detect changes in emotions. This allows teachers to understand students' psychological states in detail and provide appropriate support. Based on this data, the analysis unit can comprehensively evaluate changes in students' learning progress and physical condition and provide appropriate advice to teachers. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The notification unit notifies teachers based on the results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, it can notify teachers via email or alerts. For example, if an abnormality is detected in a student's health, an alert is immediately sent to the teacher's smartphone or computer. The notification unit can also refer to the teacher's schedule and send notifications at the optimal time. For example, by sending a notification after class, teachers can respond without being distracted during class. Furthermore, the notification unit can refer to the teacher's past response history and suggest the most appropriate response method. For example, it can suggest an effective response method based on past response history. This allows teachers to respond quickly and appropriately, enabling them to detect and address student abnormalities early. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the notification unit can send notifications using an AI model that takes the results obtained by the analysis unit as input and outputs notification content. The AI model can learn from past data and the teacher's response history and automatically determine the optimal notification content and timing. This allows the notification unit to reduce the burden on teachers and improve the overall efficiency of the system.
[0033] The conversation unit can collect information through conversations with students. For example, the conversation unit can ask students questions such as, "How are you feeling today?" The conversation unit can also analyze students' responses and detect signs of poor health. For example, the conversation unit can record what students say and perform sentiment analysis. This allows the conversation unit to detect early signs of poor health, bullying, or truancy in students. Some or all of the above processing in the conversation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the conversation unit can collect information using an AI model that takes students' statements as input and outputs signs of poor health.
[0034] The recording unit can record information collected by the conversation unit. For example, the recording unit can record the content of students' statements as text data. The recording unit can also record audio data and play it back later. For example, the recording unit can save the content of students' statements as an audio file. The recording unit can also record image data. For example, the recording unit can take a picture of a student's facial expression with a camera and save it as an image file. This allows the recording unit to refer to the collected information later. Some or all of the above processing in the recording unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the recording unit can record information using an AI model that takes the content of students' statements as input and outputs text data.
[0035] The emotion analysis unit can analyze the content recorded by the recording unit and detect changes in emotion. The emotion analysis unit is implemented using emotion estimation functions, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. The emotion analysis unit can, for example, analyze the content of a student's statements and detect changes in emotion. It can also analyze a student's facial expressions and detect changes in emotion. For example, the emotion analysis unit can detect a student's stress or anxiety based on changes in facial expressions. It can also analyze a student's voice and detect changes in emotion. For example, the emotion analysis unit can analyze the tone and speed of the voice and detect changes in emotion. This allows the emotion analysis unit to detect problems early. Some or all of the above processing in the emotion analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the emotion analysis unit can detect changes in emotion using an AI model that takes the content of a student's statements as input and outputs changes in emotion.
[0036] The monitoring unit can monitor students' behavior using image recognition, facial expression analysis, and biosensors. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze students' facial expressions using image recognition technology. The monitoring unit can also monitor students' physical condition using biosensors. For example, the monitoring unit can measure heart rate and skin electrical activity to detect changes in physical condition. The monitoring unit can also analyze students' emotions using facial expression analysis technology. For example, the monitoring unit can detect students' stress and anxiety based on changes in their facial expressions. This allows the monitoring unit to monitor students' behavior in detail. Some or all of the above-described processes in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input student facial expression data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform facial expression analysis.
[0037] The analysis unit can analyze data collected by the monitoring unit and detect physical ailments or emotional changes. The analysis unit can, for example, use machine learning algorithms to analyze the data and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can also analyze data using data mining techniques. For example, the analysis unit can detect outliers by comparing them with past data. The analysis unit can also analyze changes in students' emotions using emotion analysis algorithms. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of students' statements and detect changes in their emotions. This allows the analysis unit to detect physical ailments or emotional changes at an early stage. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data collected by the monitoring unit into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the detection of physical ailments or emotional changes.
[0038] The monitoring unit can refer to a student's past behavioral data, identify patterns of abnormal behavior, and enhance monitoring. For example, if a student has complained of feeling unwell in the past, the monitoring unit can enhance monitoring based on that pattern. Similarly, if a student has shown signs of bullying in the past, the monitoring unit can enhance monitoring based on that behavioral pattern. For example, if a student has shown a tendency to be absent from school in the past, the monitoring unit can enhance monitoring based on that behavioral pattern. This allows the monitoring unit to detect abnormal behavior early by enhancing monitoring based on past behavioral data. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input a student's past behavioral data into a generative AI and have the generative AI identify patterns of abnormal behavior.
[0039] The monitoring unit can simultaneously collect environmental data within the classroom (temperature, humidity, noise level, etc.) during monitoring and analyze its correlation with the students' condition. For example, if the classroom temperature is high, the monitoring unit can monitor a decrease in students' concentration. Similarly, if the humidity is low, the monitoring unit can monitor signs of students' poor health. For example, if the noise level is high, the monitoring unit can monitor students' stress levels. In this way, the monitoring unit can collect environmental data within the classroom and analyze its correlation with the students' condition. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the environmental data from the classroom into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform an analysis of its correlation with the students' condition.
[0040] The monitoring unit can concentrate its monitoring on specific areas by taking into account the students' seating positions during monitoring.

[0041] The monitoring unit can refer to students' home environment data during monitoring and analyze the relationship between their home environment and their behavior in the classroom. For example, if a student's home environment is unstable, the monitoring unit can focus its monitoring on their classroom behavior. Conversely, if a student's home environment is stable, the monitoring unit can prioritize monitoring other students. For example, if a student's home environment changes, the monitoring unit can reflect the impact of that change on their classroom behavior during monitoring. This allows the monitoring unit to analyze the relationship between home environment data and classroom behavior. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input students' home environment data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform an analysis of the relationship with classroom behavior.

[0067] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0068] Step 1: The monitoring unit monitors the students' behavior during class. For example, it uses image recognition technology to analyze students' facial expressions and biosensors to measure heart rate and skin electrical activity to detect changes in their physical condition.

[0069] (Example of form 2) The AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that reduces the burden on teachers in elementary and junior high schools in Japan and supports their interaction with students. This AI system monitors the behavior of students during class and notifies teachers if there is any abnormality. Furthermore, the AI system aims to detect and prevent problems such as poor health, bullying, and truancy at an early stage through conversations with students. For example, the AI system monitors the behavior of students during class. In doing so, it uses image recognition, facial expression analysis, and biosensors to analyze changes in physical condition and emotions such as tension and anxiety. For example, the AI system can analyze a student's facial expression and detect signs of poor health or stress. This allows for the early detection of abnormalities in students that teachers may not easily notice. Next, the AI system detects problems such as poor health, bullying, and truancy at an early stage through conversations with students. For example, the AI system can ask students questions such as, "How are you feeling today?" and analyze the student's response to detect signs of poor health. Furthermore, the AI system can detect signs of bullying or truancy by recording what students say and performing emotional analysis. This allows teachers to detect problems they might overlook early and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the AI system explains students' situations to teachers and supports appropriate responses. For example, the AI system might notify a teacher that "Student XX seems to be unwell," helping the teacher take appropriate action. It might also alert teachers that "Student XX hasn't spoken recently," enabling more personalized attention to each student. This system reduces the workload of teachers and allows for more appropriate attention to each student. For example, it is difficult for teachers to keep track of all students during class, but with the support of the AI system, any changes in students can be detected early and appropriate action can be taken. In addition, by sensing problems through conversations with students, the AI system can prevent problems that teachers might overlook. This prevents major problems in the educational setting, reduces the burden on teachers, and enables more appropriate attention to each student.

[0073] The notification unit notifies teachers based on the results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, it can notify teachers via email or alerts. For example, if an abnormality is detected in a student's health, an alert is immediately sent to the teacher's smartphone or computer. The notification unit can also refer to the teacher's schedule and send notifications at the optimal time. For example, by sending a notification after class, teachers can respond without being distracted during class. Furthermore, the notification unit can refer to the teacher's past response history and suggest the most appropriate response method. For example, it can suggest an effective response method based on past response history. This allows teachers to respond quickly and appropriately, enabling them to detect and address student abnormalities early.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0163] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0164] 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.

[0171] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48.

[0178] 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.
[0179] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, analysis unit, notification unit, conversation unit, recording unit, and emotion analysis unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the students' behavior using the camera 42 and biosensors of the robot 414 and collects data using the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data to detect anomalies. The notification unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and notifies the teacher at an appropriate time. The conversation unit engages in conversation with students using the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and collects information using the control unit 46A. The recording unit records information in, for example, the storage 50 of the robot 414 or the database 24 of the data processing unit 12. The emotion analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the content of students' statements and facial expressions to detect changes in their emotions. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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."
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
