Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[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. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The Home Doctor System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports the user's health management by utilizing generative AI. In this Home Doctor System, the user initiates a conversation with the AI ​​doctor and asks questions about symptoms and changes in physical condition. Next, the user sends images of the symptoms taken with a camera to the AI ​​doctor. The generative AI analyzes this information and immediately provides appropriate initial response methods. For example, for minor injuries, it provides first aid methods, and for severe symptoms, it recommends visiting a hospital. The generative AI also performs triage and provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms. This allows the user to select an appropriate medical institution and avoid unnecessary visits. Furthermore, the generative AI centrally manages the user's health data in the cloud and allows the user to check past response history. This enables efficient daily health management. This mechanism reduces anxiety about injuries and changes in physical condition and allows users to take appropriate initial responses. It also reduces the burden on medical professionals and prevents an increase in medical costs. For example, if a child develops a fever in the middle of the night, the generative AI can provide appropriate response methods, allowing parents to deal with the situation with peace of mind. Furthermore, even when elderly people live alone, the AI-generated information supports their health management, allowing them to live with peace of mind. This enables the Home Doctor system to efficiently support users' health management, reduce the burden on healthcare professionals, and prevent the increase in medical costs.

[0029] The home doctor system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a provision unit, a triage unit, and a management unit. The reception unit receives medical information from the user. This information includes, but is not limited to, text-based questions and answers, multiple-choice questions, etc. The reception unit also receives, for example, information when the user starts a conversation with the AI ​​doctor. The analysis unit analyzes the medical information received by the reception unit and images taken by the camera. The analysis unit determines the urgency of the symptoms, for example, using image analysis algorithms and text analysis techniques. The provision unit provides appropriate initial response methods based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The provision unit provides, for example, first aid procedures and guidance to medical institutions. The triage unit performs triage based on the initial response methods provided by the provision unit and provides appropriate medical options. The triage unit provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms, for example, according to criteria for evaluating urgency and methods for determining priorities. The management department centrally manages the information provided by the triage department in the cloud and checks past response history. The management department centrally manages data in the cloud, taking into consideration, for example, the type of database and security measures. As a result, the home doctor system according to this embodiment can efficiently receive and analyze user consultation information, provide appropriate initial response methods, perform triage, and centrally manage the information.

[0030] The reception desk receives medical information from users. This information may include, but is not limited to, text-based questions and answers, or multiple-choice questions. The reception desk receives information when a user initiates a conversation with an AI doctor. Specifically, users provide information by accessing a dedicated application or website using their smartphone or computer and filling out a medical questionnaire form. The questionnaire form includes detailed questions about the user's basic information (age, gender, medical history, etc.) and current symptoms (location of pain, severity of pain, onset date, etc.). This allows the reception desk to collect comprehensive information about the user's health status. Furthermore, the reception desk transmits the information provided by the user to the analysis department in real time, enabling a rapid response. For example, if the information entered by the user is incomplete, the reception desk can automatically generate additional questions and prompt the user to enter the information again. The reception desk also has a function to save the user's input so that it can be reviewed later. This allows users to refer to past medical questionnaire information and make corrections or additions as needed. To enhance user convenience, the reception desk also provides voice input and image upload functions. For example, if a user has difficulty describing their symptoms, they can provide an audio description, which can then be converted into text. Furthermore, for visual symptoms such as skin abnormalities or injuries, users can upload images taken with their camera to provide more accurate information. This allows the reception department to efficiently collect diverse information from users and provide the data to the analysis department quickly.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the medical information received by the reception unit and the images captured by the camera. The analysis unit uses, for example, image analysis algorithms and text analysis technologies to determine the urgency of the symptoms. Specifically, the image analysis algorithm analyzes images uploaded by the user and evaluates the condition of skin abnormalities and injuries. For example, it detects features such as pigmentation, swelling, and bleeding, and determines the severity of the symptoms by comparing these patterns with known cases. In addition, text analysis technology analyzes the medical information entered by the user using natural language processing technology to evaluate the urgency of the symptoms. For example, if a user enters keywords such as "chest pain" or "difficulty breathing," the system will determine that these are symptoms of high urgency based on this information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use AI to compare with past data and make predictions based on similar cases. For example, it can refer to data of users who have complained of similar symptoms in the past and predict the level of risk associated with the current user's symptoms based on subsequent diagnosis results and treatment progress. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately evaluate the user's symptoms and provide the service unit with appropriate initial response methods. Furthermore, the analysis unit updates data in real time and can respond quickly to changes in the user's condition. For example, if the user provides additional information or their symptoms worsen, the analysis unit immediately analyzes the new data and sends the latest evaluation results to the data provider. This allows the analysis unit to always perform highly accurate analyses based on the latest information and accurately understand the user's health status.

[0032] The service provider provides appropriate initial response methods based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the service provider provides first aid procedures and guidance to medical facilities. Specifically, it explains first aid procedures in detail according to the user's symptoms. For instance, in the case of minor injuries, it provides step-by-step instructions on how to clean and disinfect the wound, and how to apply bandages. If the symptoms are severe, it instructs the user to seek immediate medical attention and provides information on the nearest medical facility. Based on the user's location, the service provider can search for the nearest medical facility and provide detailed information such as maps, contact information, and opening hours. Furthermore, the service provider organizes the information necessary for the user to visit a medical facility and lists key points to convey to the doctor. This allows the user to proceed with the medical consultation smoothly. The service provider utilizes multimedia content to enhance user convenience. For example, it explains first aid procedures using videos and illustrations, providing information in a visually easy-to-understand format. It can also use audio guides to allow users to access information hands-free. This enables the service provider to support users in taking quick and appropriate initial responses. Furthermore, the service provider collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and usefulness of the information it provides. For example, by having users report the results of first aid they have administered or their progress after visiting a medical institution, the service provider can use that information to take more appropriate action next time. In this way, the service provider can always provide users with the best possible initial response and support their health management.

[0033] The triage department performs triage based on the initial response methods provided by the service provider and offers appropriate medical options. For example, the triage department provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms, following criteria for evaluating urgency and determining priorities. Specifically, it classifies the user's symptoms according to their urgency and directs a rapid response to highly urgent symptoms. For example, for highly urgent symptoms such as heart attacks or severe bleeding, it instructs the user to immediately call an ambulance and guides them to an emergency medical facility. On the other hand, for less urgent symptoms, it recommends visiting a general clinic or specialist and provides detailed information such as how to make an appointment and consultation hours. The triage department can use AI to automatically evaluate the user's symptoms and recommend the most suitable medical facility or doctor. For example, based on past data and statistical information, it can identify and provide the optimal treatment method or medical facility for a specific symptom. Furthermore, the triage department can provide individually customized medical options, taking into account the user's medical history and current health status. This allows users to receive medical care best suited to their health condition. In addition, the triage department can respond quickly if the user's condition changes. For example, if a user reports additional symptoms or their symptoms worsen, the triage unit immediately analyzes the new information and provides the latest triage results. This allows the triage unit to always perform highly accurate triage based on the most up-to-date information, supporting the user's health management.

[0034] The Management Department centrally manages information provided by the Triage Department in the cloud and reviews past response history. The Management Department centrally manages data in the cloud, taking into consideration factors such as database type and security measures. Specifically, data such as user questionnaire information, analysis results, provided initial response methods, and triage results are stored in a cloud-based database and accessed as needed. This allows users to easily review past response history and compare it to their current health status. To ensure data security, the Management Department implements encryption technology and access control to protect user privacy. For example, data is encrypted during storage and transfer to prevent unauthorized access. Access permissions are also set for each user, allowing them to view only necessary information. Furthermore, the Management Department regularly backs up data to prepare for data loss or corruption. This ensures that user data is stored safely and securely, and can be accessed quickly when needed. Through centralized data management, the Management Department improves the overall efficiency of the system. For example, by enabling the Analysis Department, Provision Department, and Triage Department to quickly access necessary data, collaboration between departments is strengthened, enabling prompt and accurate responses to users. Furthermore, the management department can analyze data to identify areas for system improvement and explore new ways to provide services. This allows the management department to comprehensively support users' health management and improve the overall performance of the system.

[0035] The reception desk can receive information when a user begins a conversation with an AI doctor. For example, the reception desk can receive basic information and a summary of the user's symptoms. For example, when a user begins a conversation with an AI doctor, the reception desk can input basic information such as name, age, and gender. The reception desk can also input a summary of the symptoms the user is currently experiencing. This allows the reception desk to smoothly initiate the consultation by receiving information when a user begins a conversation with an AI doctor. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's basic information into the AI, and the AI ​​can analyze that information to smoothly initiate the consultation.

[0036] The analysis unit can analyze images captured by a camera and determine the urgency of the symptoms. For example, the analysis unit uses an image analysis algorithm to analyze images captured by a camera. For example, the analysis unit can analyze images of the affected area captured by a camera and determine the urgency of the symptoms. For example, the analysis unit can use an image analysis algorithm to determine the degree of inflammation and the presence or absence of bleeding from images of the affected area. The analysis unit can also use text analysis technology to analyze text information of symptoms entered by the user. For example, the analysis unit analyzes text information of symptoms entered by the user and determines the urgency of the symptoms. As a result, the analysis unit can provide appropriate initial response methods by analyzing images captured by a camera and determining the urgency of the symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input images captured by a camera into the generation AI, and the generation AI can analyze the images and determine the urgency of the symptoms.

[0037] The service provider can provide appropriate initial response methods based on the analysis results. For example, the service provider can provide first aid procedures and guidance to medical institutions. For example, based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit, the service provider can provide first aid methods for minor injuries and recommend hospital visits for severe symptoms. The service provider can also provide initial response methods according to the urgency of the symptoms based on the analysis results. For example, if the symptoms are highly urgent, the service provider can recommend a rapid response and if they are less urgent, it can provide methods for home care. In this way, the service provider can provide appropriate initial response methods based on the analysis results, enabling users to take appropriate initial action. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input the analysis results into AI, and the AI ​​can provide appropriate initial response methods based on those results.

[0038] The triage unit can provide medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms. For example, the triage unit provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms according to criteria for evaluating urgency and methods for determining priority. For example, if the symptoms are highly urgent, the triage unit will arrange for an ambulance or refer the patient to a specialist, and if the symptoms are less urgent, it will recommend visiting a general clinic. The triage unit can also provide information to help the user select an appropriate medical institution according to the urgency of the symptoms. For example, the triage unit will suggest the most suitable medical institution based on the user's place of residence and type of symptoms. In this way, the triage unit can provide medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms, allowing the user to select an appropriate medical institution. Some or all of the above processes in the triage unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the triage unit can input the urgency of the symptoms into the AI, and the AI ​​can provide appropriate medical options based on that urgency.

[0039] The management department can centrally manage data in the cloud and review past interaction history. The management department centrally manages data in the cloud, taking into consideration, for example, the type of database and security measures. The management department stores, for example, user health data and past interaction history on the cloud and makes it accessible as needed. The management department can also provide an interface for reviewing past interaction history. For example, the management department can make it easy for users to search and review past interaction history. This allows the management department to efficiently manage daily health by centrally managing data in the cloud and reviewing past interaction history. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the management department can input user health data into AI, and the AI ​​can analyze that data and provide past interaction history.

[0040] The reception desk can analyze the user's past medical history and automatically generate optimal medical questions. For example, the reception desk can generate new, relevant questions based on questions the user has answered in the past. For example, the reception desk can prioritize generating questions about specific symptoms by considering the user's past health condition. The reception desk can also automatically generate questions about frequently occurring symptoms from the user's past medical history. In this way, the reception desk can analyze the user's past medical history to automatically generate optimal medical questions and conduct efficient medical interviews. Some or all of the above processes in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past medical history into AI, which can then analyze that history and automatically generate optimal medical questions.

[0041] The reception desk can customize the questions asked during the consultation based on the user's current lifestyle and health condition. For example, if the user enters their recent lifestyle habits, the reception desk can generate relevant questions based on that information. For example, if the user enters their current health condition, the reception desk can generate questions about specific symptoms based on that information. The reception desk can also generate questions that take into account the effects of medications the user is taking. In this way, the reception desk can conduct a more appropriate consultation by customizing the questions based on the user's current lifestyle and health condition. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input data on the user's lifestyle and health condition into the AI, which can then analyze that data to customize the questions.

[0042] The reception desk can prioritize questions that are highly relevant to the user's geographical location during the medical interview. For example, if the user lives in a specific region, the reception desk will prioritize questions about diseases prevalent in that region. If the user is traveling, the reception desk will prioritize questions about health risks in the travel destination. The reception desk can also prioritize questions about health risks associated with a specific environment if the user is in that environment. This allows the reception desk to conduct a more appropriate medical interview by prioritizing questions that are highly relevant to the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing at the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's geographical location information into the AI, which can then analyze that information and prioritize asking highly relevant questions.

[0043] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity during the consultation and ask relevant questions. For example, if the user has made health-related posts on social media, the reception desk can ask questions based on that content. For example, if the user has participated in a particular event, the reception desk can ask questions about the health risks associated with that event. The reception desk can also ask questions about a particular symptom if the user has mentioned it on social media. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, the reception desk can ask relevant questions and conduct a more appropriate consultation. Some or all of the above processing at the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input data on the user's social media activity into an AI, which can then analyze that data and ask relevant questions.

[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the image analysis based on the severity of the symptoms. For example, the analysis unit performs a simple image analysis for mild symptoms. For example, it performs a detailed image analysis for severe symptoms. The analysis unit can also perform a standard image analysis for moderate symptoms. In this way, the analysis unit can provide appropriate analysis results by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the severity of the symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the severity of the symptoms into the generating AI, and the generating AI can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on that severity.

[0045] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the symptom category during image analysis. For example, in the case of skin symptoms, the analysis unit applies a skin-specific analysis algorithm. For example, in the case of visceral symptoms, the analysis unit applies a visceral-specific analysis algorithm. Furthermore, in the case of bone symptoms, the analysis unit can also apply a bone-specific analysis algorithm. In this way, the analysis unit can provide more appropriate analysis results by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the symptom category. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the symptom category into the generation AI, and the generation AI can apply a different analysis algorithm depending on that category.

[0046] The analysis unit can determine the priority of image analysis based on the time of capture. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of recently captured images. For example, it may postpone the analysis of older images. The analysis unit can also prioritize the analysis of images captured within a specific period. In this way, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of the latest information by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of capture. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the time of capture into the generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze that data to determine the priority of analysis.

[0047] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of symptoms during image analysis. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes the analysis of images of highly relevant symptoms. For example, it postpones the analysis of images of less relevant symptoms. Furthermore, if multiple symptoms are related, the analysis unit can analyze those images simultaneously. This allows the analysis unit to prioritize the analysis of highly relevant symptoms by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom relevance data into the generating AI, which can then analyze that data and adjust the order of analysis.

[0048] The service provider can adjust the level of detail based on the severity of the symptoms when providing initial response methods. For example, the service provider can provide a simple initial response method for mild symptoms. For example, the service provider can provide a detailed initial response method for severe symptoms. The service provider can also provide a standard initial response method for moderate symptoms. In this way, the service provider can provide an appropriate initial response method by adjusting the level of detail based on the severity of the symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not.

The service provider may also prioritize providing initial response methods for symptoms that occurred within a specific period. This allows the service provider to provide appropriate initial response methods by determining priorities based on the timing of symptom onset. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input the timing of symptom onset into the AI, and the AI ​​can determine priorities based on that timing.

[0051] The service provider can adjust the order of initial response methods based on the relevance of symptoms when providing them. For example, the service provider can prioritize providing initial response methods for highly relevant symptoms. For example, it can postpone providing initial response methods for less relevant symptoms. Furthermore, if multiple symptoms are related, the service provider can provide initial response methods for all of them simultaneously. In this way, by adjusting the order based on the relevance of symptoms, the service provider can prioritize providing initial response methods for highly relevant symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input symptom relevance data into an AI, and the AI ​​can analyze that data and adjust the order.

[0052] The triage unit can improve the accuracy of triage by considering the interrelationships between symptoms during the triage process. For example, if multiple symptoms are related, the triage unit will comprehensively evaluate them and perform triage. For example, the triage unit will analyze the interrelationships between symptoms and prioritize triaging symptoms of higher urgency. The triage unit can also provide appropriate medical options by considering the interrelationships between symptoms. As a result, the triage unit can perform more accurate triage by considering the interrelationships between symptoms. Some or all of the above processes in the triage unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the triage unit can input data on the interrelationships between symptoms into an AI, which can then analyze the data to improve the accuracy of triage.

[0053] The triage unit can perform triage while considering the user's attribute information. For example, the triage unit can apply appropriate triage criteria by considering the user's age. For example, the triage unit can perform triage for specific symptoms by considering the user's gender. The triage unit can also perform appropriate triage by considering the user's medical history.

Step 5: The management department centrally manages the information provided by the triage department in the cloud and checks past response history. The management department centrally manages the data in the cloud, taking into consideration the type of database and security measures.

[0066] (Example of form 2) The Home Doctor System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports the user's health management by utilizing generative AI. In this Home Doctor System, the user initiates a conversation with the AI ​​doctor and asks questions about symptoms and changes in physical condition. Next, the user sends images of the symptoms taken with a camera to the AI ​​doctor. The generative AI analyzes this information and immediately provides appropriate initial response methods. For example, for minor injuries, it provides first aid methods, and for severe symptoms, it recommends visiting a hospital. The generative AI also performs triage and provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms. This allows the user to select an appropriate medical institution and avoid unnecessary visits. Furthermore, the generative AI centrally manages the user's health data in the cloud and allows the user to check past response history. This enables efficient daily health management. This mechanism reduces anxiety about injuries and changes in physical condition and allows users to take appropriate initial responses. It also reduces the burden on medical professionals and prevents an increase in medical costs. For example, if a child develops a fever in the middle of the night, the generative AI can provide appropriate response methods, allowing parents to deal with the situation with peace of mind. Furthermore, even when elderly people live alone, the AI-generated information supports their health management, allowing them to live with peace of mind. This enables the Home Doctor system to efficiently support users' health management, reduce the burden on healthcare professionals, and prevent the increase in medical costs.

[0067] The home doctor system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a provision unit, a triage unit, and a management unit. The reception unit receives medical information from the user. This information includes, but is not limited to, text-based questions and answers, multiple-choice questions, etc. The reception unit also receives, for example, information when the user starts a conversation with the AI ​​doctor. The analysis unit analyzes the medical information received by the reception unit and images taken by the camera. The analysis unit determines the urgency of the symptoms, for example, using image analysis algorithms and text analysis techniques. The provision unit provides appropriate initial response methods based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The provision unit provides, for example, first aid procedures and guidance to medical institutions. The triage unit performs triage based on the initial response methods provided by the provision unit and provides appropriate medical options. The triage unit provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms, for example, according to criteria for evaluating urgency and methods for determining priorities. The management department centrally manages the information provided by the triage department in the cloud and checks past response history. The management department centrally manages data in the cloud, taking into consideration, for example, the type of database and security measures. As a result, the home doctor system according to this embodiment can efficiently receive and analyze user consultation information, provide appropriate initial response methods, perform triage, and centrally manage the information.

[0068] The reception desk receives medical information from users. This information may include, but is not limited to, text-based questions and answers, or multiple-choice questions. The reception desk receives information when a user initiates a conversation with an AI doctor. Specifically, users provide information by accessing a dedicated application or website using their smartphone or computer and filling out a medical questionnaire form. The questionnaire form includes detailed questions about the user's basic information (age, gender, medical history, etc.) and current symptoms (location of pain, severity of pain, onset date, etc.). This allows the reception desk to collect comprehensive information about the user's health status. Furthermore, the reception desk transmits the information provided by the user to the analysis department in real time, enabling a rapid response. For example, if the information entered by the user is incomplete, the reception desk can automatically generate additional questions and prompt the user to enter the information again. The reception desk also has a function to save the user's input so that it can be reviewed later. This allows users to refer to past medical questionnaire information and make corrections or additions as needed. To enhance user convenience, the reception desk also provides voice input and image upload functions. For example, if a user has difficulty describing their symptoms, they can provide an audio description, which can then be converted into text. Furthermore, for visual symptoms such as skin abnormalities or injuries, users can upload images taken with their camera to provide more accurate information. This allows the reception department to efficiently collect diverse information from users and provide the data to the analysis department quickly.

[0069] The analysis unit analyzes the medical information received by the reception unit and the images captured by the camera. The analysis unit uses, for example, image analysis algorithms and text analysis technologies to determine the urgency of the symptoms. Specifically, the image analysis algorithm analyzes images uploaded by the user and evaluates the condition of skin abnormalities and injuries. For example, it detects features such as pigmentation, swelling, and bleeding, and determines the severity of the symptoms by comparing these patterns with known cases. In addition, text analysis technology analyzes the medical information entered by the user using natural language processing technology to evaluate the urgency of the symptoms. For example, if a user enters keywords such as "chest pain" or "difficulty breathing," the system will determine that these are symptoms of high urgency based on this information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use AI to compare with past data and make predictions based on similar cases. For example, it can refer to data of users who have complained of similar symptoms in the past and predict the level of risk associated with the current user's symptoms based on subsequent diagnosis results and treatment progress. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately evaluate the user's symptoms and provide the service unit with appropriate initial response methods. Furthermore, the analysis unit updates data in real time and can respond quickly to changes in the user's condition. For example, if the user provides additional information or their symptoms worsen, the analysis unit immediately analyzes the new data and sends the latest evaluation results to the data provider. This allows the analysis unit to always perform highly accurate analyses based on the latest information and accurately understand the user's health status.

[0070] The service provider provides appropriate initial response methods based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the service provider provides first aid procedures and guidance to medical facilities. Specifically, it explains first aid procedures in detail according to the user's symptoms. For instance, in the case of minor injuries, it provides step-by-step instructions on how to clean and disinfect the wound, and how to apply bandages. If the symptoms are severe, it instructs the user to seek immediate medical attention and provides information on the nearest medical facility. Based on the user's location, the service provider can search for the nearest medical facility and provide detailed information such as maps, contact information, and opening hours. Furthermore, the service provider organizes the information necessary for the user to visit a medical facility and lists key points to convey to the doctor. This allows the user to proceed with the medical consultation smoothly. The service provider utilizes multimedia content to enhance user convenience. For example, it explains first aid procedures using videos and illustrations, providing information in a visually easy-to-understand format. It can also use audio guides to allow users to access information hands-free. This enables the service provider to support users in taking quick and appropriate initial responses. Furthermore, the service provider collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and usefulness of the information it provides. For example, by having users report the results of first aid they have administered or their progress after visiting a medical institution, the service provider can use that information to take more appropriate action next time. In this way, the service provider can always provide users with the best possible initial response and support their health management.

[0071] The triage department performs triage based on the initial response methods provided by the service provider and offers appropriate medical options. For example, the triage department provides medical options according to the urgency of the symptoms, following criteria for evaluating urgency and determining priorities. Specifically, it classifies the user's symptoms according to their urgency and directs a rapid response to highly urgent symptoms. For example, for highly urgent symptoms such as heart attacks or severe bleeding, it instructs the user to immediately call an ambulance and guides them to an emergency medical facility. On the other hand, for less urgent symptoms, it recommends visiting a general clinic or specialist and provides detailed information such as how to make an appointment and consultation hours. The triage department can use AI to automatically evaluate the user's symptoms and recommend the most suitable medical facility or doctor. For example, based on past data and statistical information, it can identify and provide the optimal treatment method or medical facility for a specific symptom. Furthermore, the triage department can provide individually customized medical options, taking into account the user's medical history and current health status. This allows users to receive medical care best suited to their health condition. In addition, the triage department can respond quickly if the user's condition changes. For example, if a user reports additional symptoms or their symptoms worsen, the triage unit immediately analyzes the new information and provides the latest triage results. This allows the triage unit to always perform highly accurate triage based on the most up-to-date information, supporting the user's health management.

[0072] The Management Department centrally manages information provided by the Triage Department in the cloud and reviews past response history. The Management Department centrally manages data in the cloud, taking into consideration factors such as database type and security measures. Specifically, data such as user questionnaire information, analysis results, provided initial response methods, and triage results are stored in a cloud-based database and accessed as needed. This allows users to easily review past response history and compare it to their current health status. To ensure data security, the Management Department implements encryption technology and access control to protect user privacy. For example, data is encrypted during storage and transfer to prevent unauthorized access. Access permissions are also set for each user, allowing them to view only necessary information. Furthermore, the Management Department regularly backs up data to prepare for data loss or corruption. This ensures that user data is stored safely and securely, and can be accessed quickly when needed. Through centralized data management, the Management Department improves the overall efficiency of the system. For example, by enabling the Analysis Department, Provision Department, and Triage Department to quickly access necessary data, collaboration between departments is strengthened, enabling prompt and accurate responses to users. Furthermore, the management department can analyze data to identify areas for system improvement and explore new ways to provide services. This allows the management department to comprehensively support users' health management and improve the overall performance of the system.

For example, the analysis unit can input user facial expression data into the generative AI, which can analyze the data to estimate the user's emotions and adjust how the analysis results are displayed based on those emotions.

[0088] The analysis unit can determine the priority of image analysis based on the time of capture. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of recently captured images. For example, it may postpone the analysis of older images. The analysis unit can also prioritize the analysis of images captured within a specific period. In this way, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of the latest information by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of capture. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the time of capture into the generating AI, and the generating AI can analyze that data to determine the priority of analysis.

[0089] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of symptoms during image analysis. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes the analysis of images of highly relevant symptoms. For example, it postpones the analysis of images of less relevant symptoms. Furthermore, if multiple symptoms are related, the analysis unit can analyze those images simultaneously. This allows the analysis unit to prioritize the analysis of highly relevant symptoms by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input symptom relevance data into the generating AI, which can then analyze that data and adjust the order of analysis.

[0090] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way it presents the initial response based on those emotions.

[0143] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0144] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0145] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

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.

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.

[0153] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0154] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, provision unit, triage unit, and management unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and receives medical information from the user.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0155] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0156] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0157] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

[0158] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0159] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0160] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0161] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0162] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0167] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0168] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, provision unit, triage unit, and management unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives medical information from the user. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the medical information and images captured by the camera. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides an appropriate initial response method based on the analyzed information. The triage unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and performs triage based on the initial response method and provides appropriate medical options. The management unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and centrally manages data in the cloud and checks past response history. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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."

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
