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 dementia prevention system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a mobile application that utilizes AI to provide personalized dementia prevention menus. This dementia prevention system prevents dementia by collecting, analyzing, suggesting, and providing data related to the user's hobbies and thoughts. Specifically, the collection unit collects data related to the user's hobbies and thoughts, the analysis unit analyzes the collected data and creates an optimal menu for the user, the suggestion unit makes specific suggestions based on the analysis results, and the provision unit provides the suggested menu to the user. This service prevents dementia in the following three ways: 1. Prevention through social connections, 2. Prevention through suggestions such as games and travel, and 3. Prevention through maintaining health. For example, the collection unit collects the user's search history and topics of interest. Next, the analysis unit analyzes the collected data and creates an optimal menu for the user. For example, it suggests an appropriate menu based on the user's interests. The suggestion unit makes specific suggestions based on the analysis results. For example, it suggests appropriate games or travel plans based on the user's interests. Finally, the provision unit provides the suggested menu to the user. For example, it suggests appropriate methods for maintaining health based on the user's interests. Thus, AI-powered dementia prevention services provide personalized menus based on the user's hobbies and preferences, preventing dementia in three ways: through social connection, game and travel suggestions, and health maintenance. This allows the dementia prevention system to provide personalized dementia prevention menus based on the user's hobbies and preferences.
[0029] The dementia prevention system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a suggestion unit, and a provision unit.

The provision unit can, for example, provide appropriate games and travel plans based on topics the user is interested in. Furthermore, the provision unit can also provide appropriate club activities and events based on the user's hobbies and preferences. As a result, the dementia prevention system according to the embodiment can provide a personalized dementia prevention menu based on the user's hobbies and preferences.
[0030] The data collection unit collects data related to users' hobbies and interests. Specifically, it collects users' search history and topics of interest. For example, it analyzes keywords users have searched for on the internet and the history of web pages they have viewed to identify topics that users are interested in. It can also collect data on events users have attended and articles they have viewed. This includes information on webinars and seminars users have attended online, or events they have actually visited. Furthermore, posts that users have "liked" or shared on social media, and articles they have commented on, are also collected. This allows the data collection unit to understand users' interests and preferences from multiple perspectives. The collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis unit. The frequency and accuracy of data collection can be adjusted according to user settings and system requirements, allowing for flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. For example, if a user starts a new hobby, information about it can be quickly collected, improving the overall personalization of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to create the optimal menu for the user. Specifically, it analyzes the user's hobbies and preferences based on the collected data to create the optimal menu. For example, it can suggest appropriate menus based on topics the user is interested in. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze data and gain a deep understanding of the user's interests and preferences. For example, it uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's search history and the content of articles they have viewed to identify what themes the user is interested in. It can also use machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's past behavior history and predict topics they may be interested in in the future. This allows the analysis unit to create the optimal menu based on the user's hobbies and preferences. Furthermore, the analysis unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the menu. For example, it can analyze how the user reacted to the suggested menu and adjust the next suggestion based on the results. This allows the analysis unit to always provide the user with the optimal menu and maximize the overall effectiveness of the system.
[0032] The suggestion department makes specific suggestions based on the menus created by the analysis department. Specifically, it suggests appropriate games and travel plans based on topics that the user is interested in. For example, if a user is interested in history, it can suggest history-related games or travel plans to visit historical sites. If a user is interested in maintaining their health, it can also suggest appropriate health maintenance methods. This includes specific exercise programs, meal plans, and relaxation methods. Furthermore, the suggestion department can suggest appropriate club activities and events based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if a user is interested in music, it can provide information on local music clubs and concerts. If a user wants to learn a new skill, it can also suggest information on online courses and workshops. The suggestion department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can analyze how users reacted to suggested activities and adjust the next suggestions based on the results. In this way, the suggestion department can always provide the best possible suggestions to the user and maximize the overall effectiveness of the system.
[0033] The service provider delivers the menus proposed by the suggestion provider. Specifically, they provide appropriate health maintenance methods based on topics of interest to the user. For example, they can offer appropriate games or travel plans based on topics of interest to the user. This includes links where the user can download suggested games and detailed information about travel plans. The service provider can also offer appropriate club activities and events based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, they can provide registration links for users to participate in suggested club activities and detailed information about events. Furthermore, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the services provided. For example, they can analyze how users reacted to the provided menus and adjust the content of the next delivery based on the results. This allows the service provider to always provide the optimal menu to the user and maximize the effectiveness of the entire system. In addition, the service provider can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, they can use a combination of email, SMS, and in-app notifications to ensure that important information is delivered reliably. This allows the service provider to deliver menus to users quickly and reliably, maximizing the effectiveness of dementia prevention.

[0057] The dementia prevention system can further monitor the user's stress level, and the analysis unit can analyze this data to suggest ways to reduce the user's stress. For example, the data collection unit can monitor the user's heart rate and stress hormone levels, and the analysis unit can analyze this data to suggest the most suitable stress reduction methods for the user. Based on the analysis results, the suggestion unit can suggest appropriate relaxation methods and stress management techniques to the user. Furthermore, the provision unit can provide the user with specific methods to implement the suggested relaxation methods (e.g., meditation apps or relaxation music). This can reduce the user's stress and contribute to dementia prevention.
[0058] The dementia prevention system can further suggest new hobbies and activities to users based on their interests and preferences. For example, the data collection unit collects data on the user's hobbies and interests, and the analysis unit analyzes this data to suggest the most suitable new hobbies and activities for the user. Based on the analysis results, the suggestion unit can suggest appropriate new hobbies and activities (e.g., art classes or sports clubs) to the user. The provision unit can also provide specific methods for delivering the suggested new hobbies and activities to the user (e.g., class reservation links or club participation instructions). This allows the system to suggest new activities based on the user's interests and preferences, contributing to dementia prevention.
[0059] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0060] Step 1: The data collection unit collects data about the user's hobbies and thoughts. For example, it collects data such as the user's search history, topics of interest, events attended, and articles viewed. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and creates a menu optimized for the user. For example, it analyzes the user's hobbies and preferences based on the collected data and creates an optimal menu. Step 3: The proposal team makes specific suggestions based on the menu created by the analysis team. For example, they suggest appropriate games, travel plans, health maintenance methods, club activities, and events based on topics the user is interested in. Step 4: The service department provides the menu proposed by the proposal department. For example, based on topics of interest to the user, they provide appropriate health maintenance methods, games and travel plans, club activities and events.
[0061] (Example of form 2) The dementia prevention system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a mobile application that utilizes AI to provide personalized dementia prevention menus. This dementia prevention system prevents dementia by collecting, analyzing, suggesting, and providing data related to the user's hobbies and thoughts. Specifically, the collection unit collects data related to the user's hobbies and thoughts, the analysis unit analyzes the collected data and creates an optimal menu for the user, the suggestion unit makes specific suggestions based on the analysis results, and the provision unit provides the suggested menu to the user. This service prevents dementia in the following three ways: 1. Prevention through social connections, 2. Prevention through suggestions such as games and travel, and 3. Prevention through maintaining health. For example, the collection unit collects the user's search history and topics of interest. Next, the analysis unit analyzes the collected data and creates an optimal menu for the user. For example, it suggests an appropriate menu based on the user's interests. The suggestion unit makes specific suggestions based on the analysis results. For example, it suggests appropriate games or travel plans based on the user's interests. Finally, the provision unit provides the suggested menu to the user. For example, it suggests appropriate methods for maintaining health based on the user's interests. Thus, AI-powered dementia prevention services provide personalized menus based on the user's hobbies and preferences, preventing dementia in three ways: through social connection, game and travel suggestions, and health maintenance. This allows the dementia prevention system to provide personalized dementia prevention menus based on the user's hobbies and preferences.
[0062] The dementia prevention system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a suggestion unit, and a provision unit.

This allows the system to provide communication methods tailored to the user's emotions and contribute to dementia prevention.
[0102] The dementia prevention system can further estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate feedback based on those emotions. For example, the data collection unit estimates emotions from the user's facial expressions and voice, and the analysis unit analyzes that data to provide the user with optimal feedback. The suggestion unit can suggest appropriate feedback to the user (e.g., words of encouragement or advice) based on the analysis results. The delivery unit can also provide a specific method for delivering the suggested feedback to the user (e.g., a messaging app or voice assistant). This allows the system to provide feedback tailored to the user's emotions and contribute to dementia prevention.
[0103] The dementia prevention system can further estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate learning content based on those emotions. For example, the data collection unit estimates emotions from the user's facial expressions and voice, and the analysis unit analyzes that data to suggest the most suitable learning content for the user. The suggestion unit can suggest appropriate learning content (e.g., online courses or educational apps) to the user based on the analysis results. The delivery unit can also provide specific methods for delivering the suggested learning content to the user (e.g., links to online courses or download links to educational apps). This allows the system to provide learning content that responds to the user's emotions and contribute to dementia prevention.
[0104] The dementia prevention system can further suggest new hobbies and activities to users based on their interests and preferences. For example, the data collection unit collects data on the user's hobbies and interests, and the analysis unit analyzes this data to suggest the most suitable new hobbies and activities for the user. Based on the analysis results, the suggestion unit can suggest appropriate new hobbies and activities (e.g., art classes or sports clubs) to the user. The provision unit can also provide specific methods for delivering the suggested new hobbies and activities to the user (e.g., class reservation links or club participation instructions). This allows the system to suggest new activities based on the user's interests and preferences, contributing to dementia prevention.
[0105] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0106] Step 1: The data collection unit collects data about the user's hobbies and thoughts. For example, it collects data such as the user's search history, topics of interest, events attended, and articles viewed. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and creates a menu optimized for the user. For example, it analyzes the user's hobbies and preferences based on the collected data and creates an optimal menu. Step 3: The proposal team makes specific suggestions based on the menu created by the analysis team. For example, they suggest appropriate games, travel plans, health maintenance methods, club activities, and events based on topics the user is interested in. Step 4: The service department provides the menu proposed by the proposal department. For example, based on topics of interest to the user, they provide appropriate health maintenance methods, games and travel plans, club activities and events.

The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects data on the user's hobbies and thoughts using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, to analyze the collected data and create an optimal menu for the user. The proposal unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, to make specific suggestions based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, for example, to provide the user with the proposed menu. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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."
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
