[0028] (Example of form 1) The solar power generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically optimizes the orientation, angle, and area of a slide-adjustable solar panel using weather pattern learning and real-time AI image analysis. This system aims to improve power generation prediction and energy efficiency, thereby reducing electricity costs. It also aims to reduce the environmental burden by detecting anomalies caused by typhoons and snowfall, and reducing damage to and disposal of solar panels. Furthermore, by using it in conjunction with EV charging facilities, it enables power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations in the event of a disaster. For example, the solar power generation system learns weather patterns. The AI learns past weather data and predicts future weather patterns. Based on this prediction, it optimally adjusts the orientation, angle, and area of the solar panel. For example, if sunny weather is predicted, the solar panel is adjusted to track the sun at the optimal angle. On the other hand, if a typhoon or strong winds are predicted, the solar panel is positioned horizontally to minimize the effects of the wind. Next, the solar power generation system performs real-time AI image analysis. The AI analyzes images of the solar panel in real time and detects anomalies. For example, if snowfall is detected, the solar panels are positioned vertically to prevent snow accumulation. Also, if an anomaly is detected, the system automatically issues a warning and takes necessary measures. Furthermore, the solar power generation system is integrated with EV charging facilities. This system utilizes solar power to charge EVs. This enables power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations during emergencies. For example, in the event of a typhoon or earthquake, EVs can be used to supply power to the affected areas. This allows the solar power generation system to improve predictability of power generation and energy efficiency, resulting in reduced electricity costs. Additionally, by detecting anomalies caused by typhoons and snowfall, damage to solar panels and disposal are reduced, minimizing the environmental burden. Furthermore, by integrating with EV charging facilities, power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations during emergencies is possible, improving the stability of regional energy supply. This enables the solar power generation system to improve predictability of power generation and energy efficiency, resulting in reduced electricity costs. Additionally, by detecting anomalies caused by typhoons and snowfall, damage to solar panels and disposal are reduced, minimizing the environmental burden.Furthermore, by using EV charging facilities in conjunction with this system, it becomes possible to supply power to disaster-stricken areas and base stations during emergencies, thereby improving the stability of regional energy supply.
[0029] The photovoltaic power generation system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a control unit, a detection unit, and a charge management unit. The data collection unit collects weather data. The data collection unit can collect weather data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation. The data collection unit can also collect historical and real-time weather data. For example, the data collection unit can obtain historical weather data from a database and real-time weather data from sensors. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and predicts future weather patterns. The analysis unit can analyze weather data using, for example, a machine learning algorithm to predict future weather patterns. The analysis unit can also analyze historical and real-time weather data in combination. For example, the analysis unit can supplement real-time data with historical weather data to improve prediction accuracy. The control unit optimally adjusts the orientation, angle, and area of the solar panels based on the weather patterns predicted by the analysis unit. The control unit, for example, controls a motor for adjusting the orientation of the solar panels and adjusts it to track the sun at the optimal angle. The control unit can also control a sliding mechanism for adjusting the area of the solar panels. For example, the control unit operates a sliding mechanism to maximize the area of the solar panels. The detection unit analyzes images of the solar panels in real time and detects abnormalities. The detection unit can analyze images of the solar panels using, for example, AI image analysis technology to detect abnormalities. The detection unit can also detect abnormalities such as snowfall or damage. For example, if snowfall is detected, the detection unit will position the solar panels vertically to prevent snow accumulation. The charging management unit charges EVs using electricity generated by solar power and manages power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations in the event of a disaster. The charging management unit manages facilities that charge EVs using electricity generated by solar power. The charging management unit can also manage power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations in the event of a disaster. For example, if a disaster such as a typhoon or earthquake occurs, the charging management unit will use EVs to supply power to the disaster-stricken area. As a result, the solar power generation system according to this embodiment can efficiently collect, analyze, control, detect abnormalities, and manage charging using weather data.
[0030] The data collection unit collects meteorological data. For example, it can collect data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation. Specifically, the unit acquires this data in real time using multiple sensors. Temperature sensors accurately measure ambient temperature, humidity sensors detect moisture content in the air, wind speed sensors measure wind strength and direction, and precipitation sensors measure the amount of rain or snow. These sensors are installed around the solar panels to constantly collect the latest meteorological data. The data collection unit can also retrieve historical meteorological data from a database. Historical meteorological data is useful for analyzing long-term weather patterns and is important for improving the accuracy of future predictions. For example, analyzing weather data from the past few years can reveal seasonal weather patterns and the frequency of extreme weather events. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also obtain real-time weather information from the Japan Meteorological Agency and other weather data providers via the internet. This allows the data collection unit to collect diverse meteorological data from a wide range of data sources, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by the data collection unit and predicts future weather patterns. For example, the analysis unit can use machine learning algorithms to analyze weather data and predict future weather patterns. Specifically, the analysis unit combines historical and real-time weather data for analysis. Machine learning algorithms have the ability to learn from large amounts of data and predict variations in weather patterns. For example, they can improve prediction accuracy by supplementing real-time data with historical weather data. The analysis unit uses data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation as input to build a model that predicts future weather conditions. This model can learn from historical data and predict future weather patterns with high accuracy. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also assess the risk of extreme weather events. For example, based on historical data, the analysis unit calculates the probability of extreme weather events occurring under specific conditions and performs a risk assessment. This allows the analysis unit to predict future weather patterns and provide information to optimize the overall system operation.
[0032] The control unit optimally adjusts the orientation, angle, and area of the solar panels based on the weather patterns predicted by the analysis unit. Specifically, the control unit controls the motors for adjusting the orientation of the solar panels, adjusting them to track the sun at the optimal angle. This ensures that the solar panels always receive the maximum amount of sunlight, improving power generation efficiency. The control unit can also control the sliding mechanism for adjusting the area of the solar panels. For example, the control unit operates the sliding mechanism to maximize the area of the solar panels, thereby maximizing the power generation capacity of the solar panels. Furthermore, the control unit can also optimize the placement of the solar panels according to weather conditions. For example, if strong winds are predicted, the control unit adjusts the solar panels to an angle less susceptible to wind damage to prevent panel breakage. Also, if snowfall is predicted, the control unit positions the solar panels vertically to prevent snow accumulation. In this way, the control unit can optimize the placement of the solar panels according to weather conditions, improving the overall efficiency and safety of the system.
[0033] The detection unit analyzes images of solar panels in real time to detect abnormalities. Specifically, the detection unit can analyze images of solar panels using AI image analysis technology to detect abnormalities. For example, the detection unit acquires images of solar panels using a camera and analyzes the images using an AI algorithm. The AI algorithm detects whether there are any abnormalities on the panel surface and issues an alert if an abnormality is detected. The detection unit can also detect abnormalities such as snowfall and damage. For example, if snowfall is detected, the detection unit will position the solar panels vertically to prevent snow accumulation. Also, if cracks or dirt are detected on the panel surface, the detection unit will notify that maintenance is required. In this way, the detection unit can constantly monitor the condition of the solar panels and respond quickly when an abnormality occurs. Furthermore, the detection unit can also suggest appropriate countermeasures depending on the type and severity of the abnormality. For example, it may recommend cleaning for minor dirt and recommend panel replacement for serious damage. In this way, the detection unit can detect abnormalities in solar panels early and take appropriate measures, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the entire system.
[0034] The Charging Management Unit uses solar power to charge EVs and manages power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations during emergencies. Specifically, the Charging Management Unit manages facilities that charge EVs using solar power. The Charging Management Unit monitors EV charging stations and can grasp the progress of charging in real time. For example, the Charging Management Unit monitors the power supply status of each charging station and optimizes power distribution as needed. Furthermore, the Charging Management Unit can also manage power supply to disaster-stricken areas and base stations during emergencies. For example, in the event of a disaster such as a typhoon or earthquake, the Charging Management Unit uses EVs to supply power to the affected areas. The Charging Management Unit can grasp the power demand of the affected areas in real time and formulate an optimal power supply plan. This allows the Charging Management Unit to supply power quickly and efficiently even during disasters and support the recovery of the affected areas. In addition, the Charging Management Unit can set power supply priorities and supply power preferentially to important facilities and infrastructure. For example, it can supply power preferentially to important facilities such as hospitals and evacuation centers to ensure the safety and health of disaster victims. This allows the charging management unit to efficiently manage EV charging during normal times and to supply power quickly and appropriately during disasters, thereby improving the overall reliability and flexibility of the system.

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.

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.

[0159] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0160] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0174] 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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, control unit, detection unit, and charging management unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects weather data using the sensors of the robot 414 or the database 24 of the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data and predicts future weather patterns.

The detection unit is implemented by the camera 42 of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes images of the solar panels in real time and detects abnormalities. The charging management unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which charges the EV using electricity generated by solar power and manages power supply to disaster areas and base stations in the event of a disaster. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
