[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples.

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 rehabilitation support wear according to an embodiment of the present invention is a wearable device for rehabilitation patients. This device monitors the rehabilitation process and supports accurate movements by moving or giving verbal advice. It also provides mental support through dialogue. For example, the AI rehabilitation support wear tracks the user's movements. For example, built-in sensors track and monitor the user's movements in real time. When the user is performing walking training, the sensors detect the movement of the feet and record the accurate walking pattern. Next, if the user's movements are not in the ideal form, the AI rehabilitation support wear provides verbal feedback. If it is still difficult, the wear itself moves to support the user's correct movements. For example, when performing arm rehabilitation, the wear assists the arm movements and encourages correct movements. Furthermore, the AI rehabilitation support wear provides mental support through dialogue. By talking to the wear, it is possible to have a conversation and confide any concerns about rehabilitation at any time. For example, if the user is feeling anxious about the progress of their rehabilitation, the wear will offer words of encouragement to maintain motivation. This wearable device automatically personalizes to suit individual situations and supports efficient and effective rehabilitation and motivation maintenance. For example, it suggests and implements an appropriate training plan based on the user's rehabilitation progress. Challenges faced by rehabilitation patients include difficulty understanding precise movements and maintaining motivation. This device is designed to address these challenges. For instance, sensors detect and provide feedback on factors such as the balance of left-right force and the appropriate grip strength. It also provides appropriate advice and maintains motivation based on rehabilitation progress. In this way, AI rehabilitation support wear provides comprehensive support for rehabilitation patients, maximizing the effectiveness of their rehabilitation.
[0029] The AI rehabilitation support wear according to this embodiment comprises a tracking unit, a monitoring unit, a feedback unit, a support unit, and a mental support unit. The tracking unit tracks the user's movements. The tracking unit tracks the user's movements in real time, for example, using an integrated sensor. For example, if the user is performing walking training, the sensor detects the movement of the user's feet and records an accurate walking pattern. For example, if the user is performing arm rehabilitation, the sensor can detect the movement of the user's arms and record an accurate movement pattern. For example, if the user is performing daily living activities, the sensor can detect the user's movements and record an accurate movement pattern. The monitoring unit monitors the movements tracked by the tracking unit. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the user's movements in real time and evaluates the accuracy of the movements. For example, the monitoring unit can periodically monitor the user's movements and record changes in the movements. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the user's movements over a long period of time and analyze movement trends. The feedback unit provides feedback based on the movements monitored by the monitoring unit. The feedback unit provides verbal feedback, for example, when the user's movements are not ideal. The feedback unit can also provide visual feedback, for example, when the user's movements are not ideal. The feedback unit can also provide haptic feedback, for example, when the user's movements are not ideal. The support unit supports the user's movements based on the feedback provided by the feedback unit. The support unit can, for example, have the wearer itself move to support the user's correct movements. The support unit can also, for example, use external devices to assist the user's movements. The support unit can also, for example, use rehabilitation equipment to assist the user's movements. The mental support unit provides mental support based on the movements supported by the support unit. The mental support unit can, for example, provide mental support through dialogue.The mental support unit can, for example, estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate mental support. The mental support unit can also, for example, monitor the user's psychological state and provide appropriate mental support. This enables the AI rehabilitation support software according to the embodiment to efficiently track, monitor, provide feedback, support, and mental support for the user's actions.
[0030] The tracking unit tracks the user's movements. For example, the tracking unit tracks the user's movements in real time using built-in sensors. Specifically, the tracking unit uses a combination of various sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure sensors. This allows for high-precision detection of the user's movements and the collection of detailed data. For example, when a user is undergoing walking training, sensors detect foot movements and record accurate walking patterns. This includes data such as foot position, speed, acceleration, and ground contact time. This data is collected in real time and transmitted to a central database. When a user is undergoing arm rehabilitation, sensors can also detect arm movements and record accurate movement patterns. Regarding arm movements, details such as joint angles, movement speed, and force application are recorded. Furthermore, when a user is performing daily living activities, sensors can detect these movements and record accurate movement patterns. For example, frequently performed daily living activities such as lifting objects or sitting down are tracked in detail. This allows the tracking unit to track a variety of user movements with high precision and to understand the progress of rehabilitation in detail. Furthermore, the tracking unit centrally manages the collected data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the monitoring and feedback units. Additionally, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the tracking unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The monitoring unit monitors the movements tracked by the tracking unit. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the user's movements in real time and evaluates the accuracy of those movements. Specifically, the monitoring unit uses AI to analyze the collected data and evaluate whether the user's movements are being performed in an ideal manner. For example, in the case of gait training, the AI analyzes the patterns of foot movements and detects any abnormalities by comparing them to normal gait patterns. The monitoring unit can also periodically monitor the user's movements and record changes in those movements. This allows for continuous monitoring of the progress of rehabilitation and adjustment of the rehabilitation plan as needed. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can monitor the user's movements over a long period and analyze movement trends. For example, based on long-term data, it can identify changes and improvement trends in the user's movement patterns and evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The monitoring unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the monitoring 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. In addition, the monitoring unit can create customized rehabilitation plans for each user based on the collected data. This allows for the provision of optimal rehabilitation support tailored to the individual needs of each user.
[0032] The feedback unit provides feedback based on movements monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the feedback unit provides verbal feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. Specifically, it uses speech synthesis technology to provide real-time voice feedback to the user. For example, it can give specific instructions such as, "Lift your leg a little higher" or "Move your arms a little slower." The feedback unit can also provide visual feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. For example, it can display videos or animations of correct movements on the user's display or smartphone screen, allowing the user to correct their movements. Furthermore, the feedback unit can also provide haptic feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. For example, it can use a vibration motor built into the wearer to provide vibration feedback to the user. This allows the user to intuitively understand that their movements are incorrect and correct them. The feedback unit can provide individualized feedback based on the user's movement data. For example, based on past data, it can specifically point out areas for improvement and points to pay attention to in the user's movements and provide advice to maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation. In this way, the feedback unit can provide effective feedback to the user and support the progress of rehabilitation. Furthermore, the feedback unit can record the user's response to feedback and continuously improve the content and method of the feedback. This allows the feedback unit to provide the user with optimal feedback, maximizing the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
[0033] The support unit assists the user's movements based on feedback provided by the feedback unit. For example, the support unit can support the user's correct movements through the movement of the garment itself. Specifically, it uses actuators and motors built into the garment to assist the user's movements. For instance, in gait training, the garment assists the user's leg movements to maintain a correct walking pattern. In arm rehabilitation, the garment assists the user's arm movements to support correct movement. The support unit can also use external devices to assist the user's movements. For example, it can use an exoskeleton or rehabilitation robot to assist the user's movements and enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Furthermore, the support unit can use rehabilitation equipment to assist the user's movements. For example, it can use a balance ball or resistance band to assist the user's movements and maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Based on the user's movement data, the support unit can create individualized support plans. This allows for the provision of optimal support tailored to the user's individual needs. Furthermore, the support unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the support. This allows the support unit to provide optimal support to the user and maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
[0034] The Mental Support Department provides mental support based on the actions supported by the Support Department. For example, the Mental Support Department provides mental support through dialogue. Specifically, it uses natural language processing technology to engage in dialogue with users and understand their psychological state. For instance, if a user is feeling anxious or stressed about rehabilitation, the Mental Support Department provides appropriate advice and words of encouragement. Furthermore, the Mental Support Department can also estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate mental support. For example, it analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to estimate what emotions the user is experiencing. This helps users develop a positive attitude towards rehabilitation. The Mental Support Department can also monitor the user's psychological state and provide appropriate mental support. For example, if a user has lost motivation for rehabilitation, the Mental Support Department provides advice and sets goals to increase the user's motivation. This allows the user to actively engage in rehabilitation. Furthermore, the Mental Support Department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the content and methods of mental support. This allows the Mental Support Department to provide optimal mental support to users and maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation.
[0035] The tracking unit can track the user's movements in real time using built-in sensors. For example, if the user is performing walking exercises, the sensors can detect the movement of the user's feet and record the accurate walking pattern. For example, if the user is performing arm rehabilitation, the sensors can detect the movement of the user's arms and record the accurate movement pattern. For example, if the user is performing daily living activities, the sensors can detect the user's movements and record the accurate movement pattern. This allows for the acquisition of accurate data by tracking the user's movements in real time. Some or all of the above-described processes in the tracking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tracking unit can input data acquired from sensors into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis of the movement pattern.
[0036] The feedback unit can provide verbal feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. The feedback unit can, for example, provide verbal feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. The feedback unit can also, for example, provide visual feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. The feedback unit can also, for example, provide haptic feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. This encourages correct actions by providing verbal feedback when the user's movements are not ideal. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input user movement data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate the feedback content.
[0037] The support unit can support the user's correct movements by having the garment itself move. The support unit can, for example, have the garment itself move to support the user's correct movements. The support unit can, for example, use external devices to assist the user's movements. The support unit can, for example, use rehabilitation equipment to assist the user's movements. This enhances the effectiveness of rehabilitation by having the garment itself move to support the user's correct movements. Some or all of the above-described processes in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the support unit can input user movement data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute control of movement assistance.
[0038] The mental support unit can provide mental support through dialogue. The mental support unit can, for example, provide mental support through dialogue. The mental support unit can also, for example, estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate mental support. The mental support unit can also, for example, monitor the user's psychological state and provide appropriate mental support. In this way, by providing mental support through dialogue, the user's motivation is maintained. Some or all of the above processes in the mental support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the mental support unit can input user dialogue data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate the dialogue content.
[0039] The support unit can propose an appropriate training plan according to the user's rehabilitation progress. The support unit can, for example, propose an appropriate training plan according to the user's rehabilitation progress. The support unit can also, for example, adjust the training plan based on the user's rehabilitation progress. The support unit can also, for example, adjust the intensity of the training according to the user's rehabilitation progress. This maximizes the effectiveness of rehabilitation by proposing an appropriate training plan according to the user's rehabilitation progress. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the support unit can input the user's rehabilitation progress data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate a training plan.
[0040] The tracking unit can analyze the user's past behavior data and select the optimal tracking method. For example, the tracking unit can extract specific behavior patterns from the user's past behavior data and select a tracking method based on those patterns. The tracking unit can also analyze the user's past behavior data and adjust the tracking accuracy for each behavior. For example, the tracking unit can optimize the tracking frequency based on the user's past behavior data. This allows the optimal tracking method to be selected by analyzing the user's past behavior data. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tracking unit can input past behavior data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal tracking method.
[0041] The tracking unit can acquire detailed data by focusing on specific parts of the user's body during tracking. For example, the tracking unit can track the user's leg movements and record walking patterns in detail. The tracking unit can also track the user's arm movements and record rehabilitation progress in detail. The tracking unit can also track the user's back movements to support posture improvement. This allows for the acquisition of detailed data by focusing on specific parts of the user's body. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tracking unit can input motion data of specific body parts into a generating AI and have the generating AI acquire detailed data.
[0042] The tracking unit can prioritize acquiring highly relevant data based on the user's living environment information during tracking. For example, if the user is undergoing rehabilitation at home, the tracking unit will consider indoor environmental data when tracking. For example, if the user is undergoing rehabilitation outdoors, the tracking unit can also consider weather and terrain data when tracking. For example, if the user is undergoing rehabilitation at work, the tracking unit can also consider workplace environmental data when tracking. This allows for the acquisition of more appropriate data by prioritizing the acquisition of highly relevant data based on the user's living environment information. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tracking unit can input living environment data into a generating AI and have the generating AI prioritize the acquisition of highly relevant data.
[0043] The tracking unit can analyze the user's social media activity and acquire relevant motion data during tracking. The tracking unit can adjust the accuracy of tracking based, for example, on rehabilitation progress information shared by the user on social media. The tracking unit can also select a tracking method based, for example, on advice from rehabilitation professionals followed by the user on social media. The tracking unit can also adjust the frequency of tracking based, for example, on information about rehabilitation communities the user participates in on social media. This allows the tracking unit to acquire relevant motion data by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the tracking unit can input social media data into a generating AI and have the generating AI acquire relevant motion data.
[0044] The monitoring unit can evaluate the current operation by referring to past monitoring data during monitoring.

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 past monitoring data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform an evaluation of the current operation.
[0045] The monitoring unit can apply different monitoring methods to each category of user movement during monitoring.

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 movement category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of monitoring methods.
[0046] The monitoring unit can adjust the monitoring order based on the timing of user actions during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit may prioritize monitoring actions recently performed by the user. The monitoring unit may also postpone monitoring actions performed by the user in the past. For example, the monitoring unit may prioritize monitoring actions performed by the user during a specific time period. This allows for efficient monitoring by adjusting the monitoring order based on the timing of user action submissions. 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 submission timing data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the monitoring order.

Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input relevant literature data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the improvement of monitoring accuracy.
[0048] The feedback unit can adjust the level of detail of the feedback based on the importance of the action during the feedback process. For example, the feedback unit provides detailed feedback for important actions. For example, the feedback unit can also provide simpler feedback for less important actions. The feedback unit can also adjust the frequency of feedback according to the importance of the action. This allows for detailed feedback to be provided for important actions by adjusting the level of detail of the feedback based on the importance of the action. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

For example, the feedback unit may prioritize feedback on actions performed by the user within a specific time period. This enables efficient feedback by prioritizing feedback based on the timing of action submission. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input submission timing data into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the feedback priority.

[0071] The tracking unit tracks the user's movements. For example, the tracking unit tracks the user's movements in real time using built-in sensors. Specifically, the tracking unit uses a combination of various sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and pressure sensors. This allows for high-precision detection of the user's movements and the collection of detailed data. For example, when a user is undergoing walking training, sensors detect foot movements and record accurate walking patterns. This includes data such as foot position, speed, acceleration, and ground contact time. This data is collected in real time and transmitted to a central database. When a user is undergoing arm rehabilitation, sensors can also detect arm movements and record accurate movement patterns. Regarding arm movements, details such as joint angles, movement speed, and force application are recorded. Furthermore, when a user is performing daily living activities, sensors can detect these movements and record accurate movement patterns. For example, frequently performed daily living activities such as lifting objects or sitting down are tracked in detail. This allows the tracking unit to track a variety of user movements with high precision and to understand the progress of rehabilitation in detail. Furthermore, the tracking unit centrally manages the collected data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the monitoring and feedback units.

For example, in the case of gait training, the AI analyzes the patterns of foot movements and detects any abnormalities by comparing them to normal gait patterns. The monitoring unit can also periodically monitor the user's movements and record changes in those movements. This allows for continuous monitoring of the progress of rehabilitation and adjustment of the rehabilitation plan as needed. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can monitor the user's movements over a long period and analyze movement trends. For example, based on long-term data, it can identify changes and improvement trends in the user's movement patterns and evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The monitoring unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the monitoring 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. In addition, the monitoring unit can create customized rehabilitation plans for each user based on the collected data. This allows for the provision of optimal rehabilitation support tailored to the individual needs of each user.
[0073] The feedback unit provides feedback based on movements monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the feedback unit provides verbal feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. Specifically, it uses speech synthesis technology to provide real-time voice feedback to the user. For example, it can give specific instructions such as, "Lift your leg a little higher" or "Move your arms a little slower." The feedback unit can also provide visual feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. For example, it can display videos or animations of correct movements on the user's display or smartphone screen, allowing the user to correct their movements. Furthermore, the feedback unit can also provide haptic feedback if the user's movements are not ideal. For example, it can use a vibration motor built into the wearer to provide vibration feedback to the user. This allows the user to intuitively understand that their movements are incorrect and correct them. The feedback unit can provide individualized feedback based on the user's movement data. For example, based on past data, it can specifically point out areas for improvement and points to pay attention to in the user's movements and provide advice to maximize the effectiveness of rehabilitation.

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 movement category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of monitoring methods.
[0090] The monitoring unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine monitoring priorities based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the monitoring unit may prioritize monitoring important actions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the monitoring unit may monitor all actions evenly. For example, if the user is tired, the monitoring unit may prioritize monitoring less strenuous actions. This allows for the priority acquisition of important data by determining monitoring priorities based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the monitoring unit can input user emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the monitoring priorities.
[0091] The monitoring unit can adjust the monitoring order based on the timing of user actions during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit may prioritize monitoring actions recently performed by the user. The monitoring unit may also postpone monitoring actions performed by the user in the past. For example, the monitoring unit may prioritize monitoring actions performed by the user during a specific time period. This allows for efficient monitoring by adjusting the monitoring order based on the timing of user action submissions. 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 submission timing data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the monitoring order.

For example, the feedback unit may prioritize feedback on actions performed by the user within a specific time period. This enables efficient feedback by prioritizing feedback based on the timing of action submission. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input submission timing data into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the feedback priority.
[0098] The feedback unit can adjust the order of feedback based on the relevance of the actions during the feedback process. For example, the feedback unit can prioritize providing feedback to important actions. The feedback unit can also postpone providing feedback to less relevant actions. The feedback unit can also adjust the order of feedback according to the relevance of the actions. This allows for prioritizing feedback to important actions by adjusting the order of feedback based on the relevance of the actions. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input action relevance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the feedback order.

[0136] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0137] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0138] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0139] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. 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.

[0169] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the tracking unit, monitoring unit, feedback unit, support unit, and mental support unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the tracking unit tracks the user's movements in real time using the robot 414's sensors and records the movement patterns using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The monitoring unit monitors the user's movements using, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and evaluates the accuracy of the movements using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The feedback unit provides verbal, visual, and tactile feedback based on the user's movements using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The support unit supports the user's correct movements by having the wear itself move using, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The mental support unit provides conversational mental support using, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and estimates the user's emotions using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 to provide appropriate mental support. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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."
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
