[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 multilingual translation and interpretation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a platform that utilizes generative AI to facilitate communication between foreign patients and medical professionals in medical settings. This system removes language barriers and enables the provision of appropriate medical services to foreign patients. At the same time, it improves the internationalization capabilities of medical institutions and contributes to the realization of a global medical environment. For example, it provides a real-time voice translation function. The generative AI translates what the patient says in real time and conveys it to the medical professional. Conversely, the generative AI also translates what the medical professional says in real time and conveys it to the patient. This removes language barriers and enables smooth communication. Next, it is equipped with a high-precision translation engine specializing in medical terminology. The generative AI translates medical terms and specialized terms that are difficult for general translation engines to handle with high precision. This reduces the risk of misdiagnosis and treatment delays and enables the provision of appropriate medical services. Furthermore, it is equipped with a multilingual questionnaire and consent form generation system. Patients can fill out questionnaires and consent forms in their own language, and the generative AI translates them into the medical professional's language. This reduces the burden on patients and allows medical professionals to obtain accurate information. Furthermore, the system will also offer integration with remote medical interpretation services. The AI will not only provide real-time translations but will also collaborate with remote medical interpreters as needed to offer more advanced interpretation services. This will reduce the burden on medical institutions and improve their ability to serve foreign patients. This system is urgently needed due to factors such as the increasing number of foreign visitors to Japan, the diversification of foreign residents, the rapid advancements in AI technology, the growing demand associated with the globalization of healthcare, and the spread of telemedicine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The system aims to provide high-quality medical services that transcend language and cultural barriers, improve the internationalization capabilities of medical institutions, enhance access to medical care and foster a sense of security for foreign patients, and reduce the burden on healthcare professionals while improving operational efficiency. As a result, the multilingual translation and interpretation system will enable smooth communication between foreign patients and healthcare professionals, allowing for the provision of appropriate medical services.
[0029] The multilingual translation and interpretation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a translation unit, a provision unit, a medical reception unit, a medical translation unit, and a medical provision unit. The reception unit receives the patient's voice. The reception unit, for example, receives the words spoken by the patient using a microphone and stores them as voice data. The reception unit can also convert the voice data into text data using speech recognition technology. For example, the reception unit analyzes the voice using speech recognition software and stores it as text data. The translation unit translates the voice received by the reception unit using a generation AI. The translation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze the voice data and translate it into another language. The translation unit can also translate medical terms and technical terms with high accuracy. For example, the generation AI performs translation while referring to a medical terminology dictionary. The provision unit provides the voice translated by the translation unit to medical personnel. The provision unit, for example, plays back the translated text data as voice using speech synthesis technology. The provision unit can also display the translation results on a display. For example, the delivery department displays the translated text data on a screen for medical professionals to review. The medical reception department receives the voice of medical professionals. For example, the medical reception department receives the words spoken by medical professionals using a microphone and saves them as audio data. The medical reception department can also convert the audio data into text data using speech recognition technology. For example, the medical reception department analyzes the voice using speech recognition software and saves it as text data. The medical translation department translates the voice received by the medical reception department using generative AI. For example, the medical translation department uses generative AI to analyze the audio data and translate it into another language. The medical translation department can also translate medical terms and technical terms with high accuracy. For example, the generative AI performs translations while referring to a medical terminology dictionary. The medical delivery department provides the voice translated by the medical translation department to the patient. For example, the medical delivery department plays back the translated text data as audio using speech synthesis technology. The medical delivery department can also display the translation results on a display. For example, the medical delivery department displays the translated text data on a screen for the patient to review.As a result, the multilingual translation and interpretation system according to this embodiment can translate speech in real time between patients and healthcare professionals, enabling smooth communication.
[0030] The reception area receives patient voices. For example, the reception area receives the patient's spoken words using a microphone and saves them as audio data. Specifically, the reception area uses a high-sensitivity microphone to clearly capture the patient's voice. The audio data is processed using noise reduction technology to remove background noise and improve the accuracy of speech recognition. The speech recognition technology uses a deep learning model to convert the patient's pronunciation and accent differences into text data with high accuracy. For example, the speech recognition software analyzes the patient's voice in real time and saves it as text data. This allows the reception area to quickly and accurately convert the patient's voice into text data and smoothly hand it over to the next processing step. Furthermore, the reception area has a database for storing and managing audio data, and can refer to past audio data. This allows for reviewing the patient's past statements and symptoms, enabling more appropriate responses.
[0031] The translation department uses generative AI to translate audio received by the reception department. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the audio data and translates it into other languages. The generative AI utilizes natural language processing technology to convert the audio data into text data, and then translates that text data into the target language. For example, the generative AI uses speech recognition technology to convert audio into text data and inputs that text data into a multilingual translation model. The multilingual translation model has been pre-trained on a large amount of medical and technical terms, enabling highly accurate translations. Because the generative AI performs translations while referring to a medical terminology dictionary, it can accurately translate specialized terms and expressions. Furthermore, the generative AI uses contextual analysis technology to understand the context and provide appropriate translations. As a result, the translation department can accurately and naturally translate patients' statements into other languages and provide them to healthcare professionals.
[0032] The service provider delivers the translated audio to healthcare professionals. Specifically, it plays back the translated text data as audio using speech synthesis technology. The speech synthesis technology generates audio with natural pronunciation and intonation, providing it in a format that is easy for healthcare professionals to understand. For example, the service provider inputs the translated text data into a speech synthesis engine and plays the generated audio through a speaker. The service provider can also display the translation results on a screen. The screen displays the translated text data in an easy-to-read font and size, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly review it. Furthermore, the service provider can automatically record the translation results in the electronic medical record system and save them as part of the patient's medical history. This enables the service provider to provide healthcare professionals with timely and accurate information and support smooth communication.
[0033] The medical reception department receives voice messages from medical professionals. Specifically, it captures the words spoken by medical professionals using a microphone and saves them as audio data. The medical reception department can also convert the audio data into text data using speech recognition technology. For example, the medical reception department uses a high-sensitivity microphone to collect the voices of medical professionals and removes background noise using noise reduction technology. The speech recognition technology uses a deep learning model to convert the pronunciation and technical terms of medical professionals into text data with high accuracy. This allows the medical reception department to quickly and accurately convert the voices of medical professionals into text data and smoothly hand it over to the next processing step. Furthermore, the medical reception department has a database for storing and managing audio data, and can refer to past audio data. This makes it possible to check past statements and instructions from medical professionals and respond more appropriately.
[0034] The medical translation department uses generative AI to translate audio received by the medical reception department. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the audio data and translates it into other languages. The generative AI utilizes natural language processing technology to convert the audio data into text data, and then translates that text data into the target language. For example, the generative AI uses speech recognition technology to convert audio into text data and inputs that text data into a multilingual translation model. The multilingual translation model has been pre-trained on a large amount of medical and technical terms, enabling highly accurate translations. Because the generative AI performs translations while referring to a medical terminology dictionary, it can accurately translate specialized terms and expressions. Furthermore, the generative AI uses contextual analysis technology to understand the context and provide appropriate translations. As a result, the medical translation department can accurately and naturally translate the statements of medical professionals into other languages and provide them to patients.
[0035] The medical service department provides patients with audio translated by the medical translation department. Specifically, the translated text data is played back as audio using speech synthesis technology. Speech synthesis technology generates audio with natural pronunciation and intonation, providing it in a way that is easy for patients to understand. For example, the medical service department inputs the translated text data into a speech synthesis engine and plays the generated audio through a speaker. The medical service department can also display the translation results on a screen. The translated text data is displayed on the screen in an easy-to-read font and size, allowing patients to quickly review it. Furthermore, the medical service department can automatically record the translation results in the electronic medical record system and save them as part of the patient's medical history. This allows the medical service department to provide patients with timely and accurate information and support smooth communication.
[0036] The generation unit can generate medical questionnaires and consent forms. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to generate medical questionnaires and consent forms filled out by the patient in their own language. The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the patient's input data and generate the medical questionnaires and consent forms in an appropriate format. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to translate medical and technical terms with high accuracy. For example, the generation unit uses the generation AI to perform translations while referring to a medical terminology dictionary. This allows patients to fill out medical questionnaires and consent forms in their own language. Medical questionnaires and consent forms may include, but are not limited to, basic patient information, medical history, allergy information, and current symptoms. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the medical questionnaire and consent form filled out by the patient into the generation AI, which can then generate them in an appropriate format.
[0037] The generation unit can translate questionnaires and consent forms filled out by patients in their own language into the language of healthcare professionals. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the questionnaires and consent forms filled out by patients and translate them into the language of healthcare professionals. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to translate medical and technical terms with high accuracy. For example, the generation unit performs translation while the generation AI refers to a medical terminology dictionary. This allows healthcare professionals to understand the information filled out by patients. The translation includes, but is not limited to, basic patient information, medical history, allergy information, and current symptoms. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input questionnaires and consent forms filled out by patients into a generation AI, which can then translate them into the language of healthcare professionals.
[0038] The generation unit can translate medical terms and technical terms with high accuracy.

[0041] The reception desk can analyze the patient's past voice data and select the optimal voice reception method. For example, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the patient's past voice data and propose the optimal voice reception method. For example, the reception desk can analyze the voice input methods the patient has used in the past and select the optimal method. The reception desk can also select the method that resulted in the smoothest reception from the patient's past voice data. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the quality of the patient's voice data and select the optimal voice reception method. Thus, by analyzing the patient's past voice data, the optimal voice reception method can be selected. The optimal voice reception method includes, but is not limited to, voice recognition technology, voice input devices, and voice input timing. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the patient's past voice data into AI, which can then select the optimal voice reception method.
[0042] The reception desk can filter voice messages based on the patient's current health status and symptoms. For example, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the patient's health status and symptoms and prioritize receiving important information. For instance, if the patient's health is poor, the AI will filter the voice message and prioritize receiving important information. Similarly, if the patient's symptoms are severe, the AI can filter the voice message and prioritize receiving urgent information. Furthermore, if the patient's health is good, the reception desk can receive normal information. This allows for the prioritization of important information based on the patient's health status and symptoms. Filtering includes, but is not limited to, voice recognition technology, voice analysis algorithms, and health status assessment criteria. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input patient health data into the AI, which can then filter important information.
[0043] The reception desk can prioritize receiving voice messages that are highly relevant, taking into account the patient's geographical location.

The reception desk can also analyze recent activity from the patient's social media activity and prioritize receiving relevant messages. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the patient's interests from their social media activity and prioritize receiving relevant messages. This allows for the priority reception of relevant messages by analyzing the patient's social media activity. Social media activity includes, but is not limited to, analysis of post content and methods for evaluating relevance. 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 the patient's social media data into AI, which can then prioritize receiving relevant messages.
[0045] The translation unit can adjust the level of detail in translations based on the importance of medical terms during the translation process. For example, the translation unit can use generative AI to analyze the importance of medical terms and adjust the level of detail in the translation. For instance, the translation unit can provide detailed translations for important medical terms. It can also provide concise translations for common medical terms. Furthermore, it can provide specialized translations for specialized medical terms. By adjusting the level of detail in translations based on the importance of medical terms, appropriate translations are provided. The evaluation of importance includes, but is not limited to, the frequency of medical terms and the method of evaluating importance. Some or all of the above processing in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the translation unit can input medical term data into generative AI, which can evaluate importance and adjust the level of detail in the translation.
[0046] The translation unit can apply different translation algorithms during translation depending on the patient's symptoms and medical history. For example, the translation unit can use a generative AI to analyze the patient's symptoms and medical history and select an appropriate translation algorithm. For instance, if the patient's symptoms are severe, the translation unit can apply a detailed translation algorithm. It can also apply a specialized translation algorithm if the patient's medical history is complex. Furthermore, if the patient's symptoms are mild, the translation unit can apply a concise translation algorithm. This ensures that more accurate translations are provided by applying the appropriate translation algorithm according to the patient's symptoms and medical history. Examples of different translation algorithms include, but are not limited to, criteria for selecting an algorithm based on symptoms and medical history. Some or all of the above-described processes in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without one.

For instance, the translation unit may prioritize translating recently submitted audio. It may also prioritize translating audio with high urgency. Furthermore, the translation unit may postpone the translation of older audio. This allows for prioritizing the translation of audio with high urgency by determining translation priorities based on the submission date. Prioritization includes, but is not limited to, evaluation criteria for submission date and priority determination algorithms. Some or all of the above-described processes in the translation unit may be performed, for example, using a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the translation unit may input audio data into a generative AI, which may evaluate the submission date and determine translation priorities.
[0048] The translation unit can adjust the order of translations based on the relevance of the audio during the translation process. For example, the translation unit may use a generative AI to analyze the relevance of the audio and adjust the order of translations. For example, the translation unit may prioritize translating audio related to the patient's symptoms. It may also prioritize translating audio related to the medical professional's area of expertise. Furthermore, it may prioritize translating audio of high urgency. This allows important audio to be prioritized for translation by adjusting the order of translations based on the relevance of the audio. The evaluation of relevance includes, but is not limited to, the content of the audio and the method of evaluating relevance. Some or all of the above processing in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the translation unit may input audio data into a generative AI, which may evaluate the relevance and adjust the order of translations.
[0049] The service delivery unit can select the optimal delivery method by referring to the past interaction history of healthcare professionals at the time of delivery. The service delivery unit can, for example, use AI to analyze the past interaction history of healthcare professionals and propose the optimal delivery method. For example, the service delivery unit can refer to delivery methods previously used by healthcare professionals and select the optimal method. The service delivery unit can also select the most effective delivery method from the past interaction history of healthcare professionals. Furthermore, the service delivery unit can analyze the past interaction history of healthcare professionals and select the optimal delivery method.

The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0158] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50.

[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 (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).
[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.

[0202] 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.

The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0204] 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.
[0205] 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.
[0206] 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.
[0207] 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.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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."
[0210] 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.
[0211] 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.
[0212] 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.
[0213] 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.
[0214] 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.
[0215] 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.
[0216] 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.
[0217] 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.
[0218] 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.
[0219] 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.
[0220] 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.
