[0028] (Example of form 1) The security system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for solving the problem of easily accessible areas such as doors and windows being clearly visible when the house is unoccupied. This security system is a method for preventing crime by making the house itself invisible. First, an organic electroluminescent display is attached to the exterior wall of the house. This organic electroluminescent display is installed so as to cover the entire exterior wall of the house. Cameras are also attached in each direction. This allows for real-time acquisition of images of the area around the house. Next, when the system is turned ON, a generating AI analyzes the images acquired from the cameras and generates an image that compensates for the lighting conditions. This generated image is displayed on the organic electroluminescent display. As a result, the exterior wall of the house blends into the surrounding landscape, and the house itself becomes invisible. For example, the trees, grass, and sky in front of the house are displayed on the organic electroluminescent display, making the house blend into the surrounding landscape. In this way, the exterior wall of the house becomes invisible, and easily accessible areas such as doors and windows can also be hidden. Furthermore, this system can also be applied to outdoor tents. For example, when setting up a tent at a campsite, using this system makes the tent blend into the surrounding landscape and become inconspicuous. This makes it an effective security measure during camping. By making the house itself invisible, it can deter crime. Furthermore, it can be applied to outdoor tents, making it an effective security measure during camping. This security system can prevent crime by making the exterior walls of the house invisible.

[0029] The security system according to this embodiment comprises a video acquisition unit, an image generation unit, and a display unit. The video acquisition unit acquires video of the area around the house. The video acquisition unit includes, for example, cameras installed at the four corners of the house. The cameras can acquire video in all directions, such as the front yard, back yard, and sides of the house. The video acquisition unit acquires video of the area around the house in real time, for example, using cameras installed at the four corners of the house. The video acquisition unit also has a function to automatically adjust the camera settings. For example, the video acquisition unit can adjust the camera's sensitivity and exposure according to the weather and time of day. The image generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the video acquired by the video acquisition unit and generate an image that complements the lighting. The generation AI uses, for example, deep learning or generative opposite-agent networks (GANs) to generate natural-looking images. The image generation unit uses, for example, a generation AI to analyze the video acquired from the camera and generate an image that complements the lighting. Based on the video acquired from the camera, the generation AI adjusts the brightness and removes shadows to generate a natural-looking image. The display unit displays the generated image on an organic electroluminescent display. The display unit uses, for example, an organic electroluminescent display to provide high-quality display. By displaying the generated image on the organic electroluminescent display, the display unit makes the house blend into the surrounding landscape. The display unit displays the generated image on the organic electroluminescent display to make the exterior walls of the house invisible. As a result, the security system according to this embodiment can make the exterior walls of the house invisible and prevent crime.

[0030] The video acquisition unit captures images of the house's surroundings. Specifically, it includes cameras installed at the four corners of the house, which can capture images in all directions, including the front yard, back yard, and sides. The cameras are high-resolution, providing clear images day and night. Furthermore, the cameras are equipped with infrared sensors, enabling clear images even at night. The video acquisition unit uses these cameras to acquire images of the house's surroundings in real time and transmits them to a central database. The cameras have an automatic adjustment function, automatically adjusting sensitivity and exposure according to weather and time of day. For example, sensitivity is increased on cloudy days, and the system switches to infrared mode at night, ensuring optimal image capture at all times. The video acquisition unit also has a motion detection function, which can issue an alert if it detects abnormal movement. This allows for immediate notification of suspicious activity around the house, enabling a quick response. In addition, the video acquisition unit stores the acquired images on a cloud server, allowing past footage to be reviewed at any time. This allows for reviewing past events, making it an effective security measure.

[0031] The image generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the video acquired by the video acquisition unit and generate an image with corrected lighting. The generation AI uses technologies such as deep learning and generative opposite-agent networks (GANs) to produce natural-looking images. Specifically, the generation AI receives video acquired from the camera as input and adjusts brightness and removes shadows. For example, it removes shadows caused by strong sunlight during the day and brightens dark images at night. The generation AI is pre-trained on a dataset of millions of images, enabling image correction under various environmental conditions. Furthermore, the generation AI can reduce noise in the video and generate clear, high-quality images. The image generation unit processes the generated images in real time and transmits them to the display unit. This ensures that the latest corrected video is always displayed. The image generation unit also has an anomaly detection algorithm and can issue a warning if it detects unusual patterns or abnormal movements. In this way, the image generation unit not only improves the quality of the video but also plays a role in improving the reliability and safety of the entire security system.

[0032] The display unit shows the generated images on an organic electroluminescent display. Specifically, the organic electroluminescent display is high-resolution and can display clear and natural images. The display unit displays the generated images in real time, making the exterior walls of the house invisible. This allows the house to blend into the surrounding landscape and hide its presence from criminals. Furthermore, the display unit can dynamically change the displayed content, for example, displaying different scenery depending on the season or time of day. This makes the appearance of the house constantly change, providing criminals with inconsistent information. The display unit also has a function to display warning messages when an anomaly is detected, providing residents with information quickly. For example, if a suspicious person approaches the house, a warning message will be displayed to alert residents. Thus, the display unit plays an important role as part of the security system and can ensure the safety of the house. In addition, the display unit is energy-efficient and has a long lifespan, which reduces maintenance costs. Thus, the display unit can provide an economical and sustainable security measure.

[0033] The video acquisition unit includes cameras installed at the four corners of the house. The video acquisition unit, for example, uses the cameras installed at the four corners of the house to acquire omnidirectional video. By using the cameras installed at the four corners of the house, the video acquisition unit can acquire omnidirectional video in real time, including the front yard, back yard, and sides of the house. The video acquisition unit, for example, uses the cameras installed at the four corners of the house to acquire video of the area around the house in real time. This allows for the acquisition of omnidirectional video by installing cameras at the four corners of the house. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the video acquisition unit can input the video acquired from the cameras installed at the four corners of the house into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform an analysis of the omnidirectional video.

[0034] The image generation unit analyzes the video acquired from the camera using a generation AI and generates an image with corrected lighting.

[0037] The system can also be applied to outdoor tents. For example, when setting up a tent at a campsite, using this system makes the tent blend into the surrounding landscape and become less conspicuous. The system can also be applied to outdoor tents, making it effective as a security measure during camping. For example, when setting up a tent at a campsite, using this system makes the tent blend into the surrounding landscape and become less conspicuous.

For example, when setting up a tent at a campsite, the system can input video of the area around the tent into a generating AI and generate an image that makes the tent blend into the surrounding landscape.

[0038] The video acquisition unit automatically adjusts camera settings according to weather and time of day when acquiring video. For example, at night, the video acquisition unit increases the camera's sensitivity to acquire clear images even in dark places. The video acquisition unit can automatically deploy a waterproof cover to protect the camera in rainy weather. The video acquisition unit can adjust the camera's exposure to acquire appropriate images under strong sunlight during the day. In this way, by automatically adjusting the camera settings according to weather and time of day, the optimal image can always be acquired. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the video acquisition unit can input weather and time-of-day data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the automatic adjustment of camera settings.

[0039] The video acquisition unit adds a function to detect surrounding movement and focus on a specific area during video acquisition. For example, if the video acquisition unit detects the movement of a person or animal, it automatically points the camera towards that area. If the video acquisition unit detects suspicious movement, it can use the zoom function to acquire detailed video. If there is little movement in the surroundings, the video acquisition unit can widen the camera's field of view to cover a wider area. This enhances surveillance of important areas by detecting surrounding movement and focusing on a specific area. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the video acquisition unit can input data on surrounding movement into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of focusing on a specific area.

[0040] The video acquisition unit integrates sensor information from inside the house and links it with external conditions when acquiring video. For example, the video acquisition unit adjusts camera settings in conjunction with external temperature based on temperature sensor information from inside the house. The video acquisition unit can adjust the camera's field of view in conjunction with external movement based on motion sensor information from inside the house. The video acquisition unit can adjust camera sensitivity in conjunction with external sound based on sound sensor information from inside the house.

Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the video acquisition unit can input sensor information from inside the house into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute processing to link it with external conditions.

[0041] The video acquisition unit acquires ambient audio information simultaneously with video acquisition and uses it for analysis. For example, the video acquisition unit acquires ambient audio information and issues an alarm if it detects a suspicious sound. The video acquisition unit analyzes ambient audio information and can direct the camera in the direction of a specific sound (for example, the sound of breaking glass) if it detects such a sound. The video acquisition unit acquires ambient audio information, identifies the source of the sound, and adjusts the camera's field of view. This allows for more detailed monitoring by simultaneously acquiring ambient audio information. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the video acquisition unit can input ambient audio data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform audio analysis.

[0042] The image generation unit generates more natural-looking images by referencing past video data during image generation.

At night, the display unit can lower the brightness of the display to provide a display that is easy on the eyes. In rainy weather, the display unit can adjust the brightness of the display to ensure appropriate visibility. In this way, optimal visibility can always be ensured by automatically adjusting the brightness of the display according to the ambient light level. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the display unit can input ambient light data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform automatic brightness adjustment.

[0048] The display unit provides a more durable display unit by changing the display material during display. For example, the display unit uses a weather-resistant material considering outdoor use. The display unit can select a highly durable material to withstand long-term use. The display unit can use a material that is difficult to destroy as a security measure. In this way, by changing the display material, durability is improved and long-term use is possible.

[0049] The display unit applies an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display during display to facilitate maintenance. The display unit applies an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display to make it difficult for dirt to adhere. The display unit can prevent dirt from rain and dust with the anti-fouling coating. The display unit makes regular maintenance easier by applying an anti-fouling coating. As a result, by applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display, dirt adheres less easily and maintenance becomes easier. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the display unit can input anti-fouling coating data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the coating application.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0051] The security system can detect ambient temperature and humidity in its video acquisition unit and automatically adjust camera settings based on this information. For example, if the temperature is high, the camera's sensitivity can be reduced to minimize thermal noise. If the humidity is high, the waterproof cover can be automatically deployed to protect the camera. If the temperature is low, the camera's exposure can be adjusted to acquire clearer images. This allows for the acquisition of optimal images at all times by automatically adjusting camera settings according to ambient environmental conditions. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, temperature and humidity data can be input into a generating AI, which can then perform the automatic adjustment of camera settings.

[0052] The security system can acquire ambient audio information simultaneously in its video acquisition unit and use it for analysis. For example, it can acquire ambient audio information and issue an alarm if it detects a suspicious sound. By analyzing the ambient audio information, it can detect a specific sound (for example, the sound of breaking glass) and direct the camera in that direction. It can also acquire ambient audio information to identify the source of the sound and adjust the camera's field of view. This allows for more detailed surveillance by simultaneously acquiring ambient audio information. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, ambient audio data can be input into a generating AI, and the generating AI can be made to perform audio analysis.

[0053] The security system's image generation unit can generate more natural-looking images by referencing past video data. For example, it can generate natural-looking images that are appropriate for the season and weather based on past video data. It can also generate images suitable for a specific time of day by referencing past video data. Furthermore, it can use past video data to generate images that blend into the surrounding landscape.

For example, past video data can be input into a generation AI, and the generation AI can be made to generate natural-looking images.

[0054] The security system can automatically adjust the angle and position of the display unit to provide an optimal display. For example, the display angle can be adjusted for better visibility in bright sunlight during the day. At night, the display position can be adjusted to ensure proper visibility. In addition, a waterproof cover can be automatically deployed to protect the display in rainy weather.

[0055] The security system can have a function added to its video acquisition unit that detects surrounding movement and focuses on a specific area. For example, if it detects the movement of a person or animal, it can automatically point the camera towards that area. If suspicious movement is detected, it can use the zoom function to acquire detailed footage. Also, if there is little movement in the surroundings, the camera's field of view can be widened to cover a wider area. This enhances surveillance of important areas by detecting surrounding movement and focusing on a specific area. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, data on surrounding movement can be input into a generating AI, and the generating AI can be made to focus on a specific area.

[0056] The security system's display unit can be made easier to maintain by applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display. For example, applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display makes it harder for dirt to adhere. The anti-fouling coating prevents dirt from accumulating due to rain and dust. Furthermore, applying the anti-fouling coating makes regular maintenance easier. Thus, by applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display, dirt adheres less easily and maintenance becomes easier. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, data on the anti-fouling coating can be input into a generating AI, and the generating AI can be made to perform the application of the coating.

[0058] Step 1: The video acquisition unit acquires images of the house's surroundings. The video acquisition unit includes cameras installed at the four corners of the house, for example, to acquire images in all directions, including the front yard, back yard, and sides of the house, in real time. The video acquisition unit also has a function to automatically adjust the camera's sensitivity and exposure according to the weather and time of day. Step 2: The image generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the video acquired by the video acquisition unit and generate an image with corrected lighting. The generation AI uses technologies such as deep learning and generative opposing networks (GANs) to adjust brightness and remove shadows, generating a natural-looking image. Step 3: The display unit displays the generated image on an organic electroluminescent display. This makes the house blend into the surrounding landscape and enhances security by making the exterior walls of the house invisible.

[0059] (Example of form 2) The security system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for solving the problem of easily accessible areas such as doors and windows being clearly visible when the house is unoccupied. This security system is a method for preventing crime by making the house itself invisible. First, an organic electroluminescent display is attached to the exterior wall of the house. This organic electroluminescent display is installed so as to cover the entire exterior wall of the house. Cameras are also attached in each direction. This allows for real-time acquisition of images of the area around the house. Next, when the system is turned ON, a generating AI analyzes the images acquired from the cameras and generates an image that compensates for the lighting conditions. This generated image is displayed on the organic electroluminescent display. As a result, the exterior wall of the house blends into the surrounding landscape, and the house itself becomes invisible. For example, the trees, grass, and sky in front of the house are displayed on the organic electroluminescent display, making the house blend into the surrounding landscape. In this way, the exterior wall of the house becomes invisible, and easily accessible areas such as doors and windows can also be hidden. Furthermore, this system can also be applied to outdoor tents. For example, when setting up a tent at a campsite, using this system makes the tent blend into the surrounding landscape and become inconspicuous. This makes it an effective security measure during camping. By making the house itself invisible, it can deter crime. Furthermore, it can be applied to outdoor tents, making it an effective security measure during camping. This security system can prevent crime by making the exterior walls of the house invisible.

In this way, the image generation unit not only improves the quality of the video but also plays a role in improving the reliability and safety of the entire security system.

[0063] The display unit shows the generated images on an organic electroluminescent display. Specifically, the organic electroluminescent display is high-resolution and can display clear and natural images.

Furthermore, the display unit can dynamically change the displayed content, for example, displaying different scenery depending on the season or time of day. This makes the appearance of the house constantly change, providing criminals with inconsistent information. The display unit also has a function to display warning messages when an anomaly is detected, providing residents with information quickly. For example, if a suspicious person approaches the house, a warning message will be displayed to alert residents.

It can also generate images suitable for a specific time of day by referencing past video data. Furthermore, it can use past video data to generate images that blend into the surrounding landscape. In this way, more natural-looking images can be generated by referencing past video data. Some or all of the above-described processes in the image generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, past video data can be input into a generation AI, and the generation AI can be made to generate natural-looking images.

[0094] The security system can automatically adjust the angle and position of the display unit to provide an optimal display. For example, the display angle can be adjusted for better visibility in bright sunlight during the day. At night, the display position can be adjusted to ensure proper visibility. In addition, a waterproof cover can be automatically deployed to protect the display in rainy weather. As a result, the display angle and position can be automatically adjusted to ensure an optimal display at all times. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, data on the display angle and position can be input into a generating AI, and the generating AI can be made to perform adjustments for the optimal display.

[0095] The security system can have a function added to its video acquisition unit that detects surrounding movement and focuses on a specific area. For example, if it detects the movement of a person or animal, it can automatically point the camera towards that area. If suspicious movement is detected, it can use the zoom function to acquire detailed footage. Also, if there is little movement in the surroundings, the camera's field of view can be widened to cover a wider area. This enhances surveillance of important areas by detecting surrounding movement and focusing on a specific area. Some or all of the above processing in the video acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, data on surrounding movement can be input into a generating AI, and the generating AI can be made to focus on a specific area.

[0096] The security system's image generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the level of detail of the generated images based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the level of detail can be increased to generate a sharp image. If the user is relaxed, a natural image with appropriate detail can be generated. If the user is excited, the level of detail can be adjusted to generate a visually stimulating image. By adjusting the level of detail of the image according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate display becomes possible. Emotion estimation can be achieved using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. The adjustment of detail may be performed using, for example, AI or not. For example, user emotion data can be input into the generation AI, and the generation AI can be made to perform detail adjustments based on emotions.

[0097] The security system's display unit can be made easier to maintain by applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display. For example, applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display makes it harder for dirt to adhere. The anti-fouling coating prevents dirt from accumulating due to rain and dust. Furthermore, applying the anti-fouling coating makes regular maintenance easier. Thus, by applying an anti-fouling coating to the surface of the display, dirt adheres less easily and maintenance becomes easier. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, data on the anti-fouling coating can be input into a generating AI, and the generating AI can be made to perform the application of the coating.

[0098] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0099] Step 1: The video acquisition unit acquires images of the house's surroundings. The video acquisition unit includes cameras installed at the four corners of the house, for example, to acquire images in all directions, including the front yard, back yard, and sides of the house, in real time. The video acquisition unit also has a function to automatically adjust the camera's sensitivity and exposure according to the weather and time of day. Step 2: The image generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the video acquired by the video acquisition unit and generate an image with corrected lighting. The generation AI uses technologies such as deep learning and generative opposing networks (GANs) to adjust brightness and remove shadows, generating a natural-looking image. Step 3: The display unit displays the generated image on an organic electroluminescent display. This makes the house blend into the surrounding landscape and enhances security by making the exterior walls of the house invisible.

In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0150] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the video acquisition unit, image generation unit, and display unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the video acquisition unit acquires video of the house's surroundings using the camera 42 of the robot 414. The image generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the video using generation AI and generates an image that compensates for the lighting conditions. The display unit displays the generated image on an organic electroluminescent display using the output device 40 of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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."

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
