Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that comprehensively protects the safety of children playing in parks. This AI system uses AI surveillance cameras installed in the park to detect suspicious persons and dangerous behavior, and issues real-time warnings for early response. Furthermore, by connecting children and guardians to the AI system, it becomes possible to prevent lost children and track their location. In addition, by monitoring playground equipment and weather, and introducing lost child detection robots, a safer park environment is provided, realizing a park space where children can enjoy themselves with peace of mind. For example, the AI system uses AI surveillance cameras installed in the park to detect suspicious persons and dangerous behavior. When the camera detects abnormal movement in the park, the AI analyzes the footage and identifies the suspicious person or dangerous behavior. This allows for real-time warnings and early response. Next, by connecting children and guardians to the AI system, it becomes possible to prevent lost children and track their location. For example, if a child gets lost in the park, guardians can track the child's location through the AI system. This allows for the child to be found quickly. Furthermore, by monitoring playground equipment and weather, and introducing lost child detection robots, a safer park environment is provided. For example, the system monitors the condition of playground equipment and issues warnings if any abnormalities occur. It also monitors weather changes and issues warnings if extreme weather conditions occur. A lost child detection robot patrols the park and plays a role in finding lost children. In this way, the AI system comprehensively protects the safety of children playing in the park and creates a park space where children can enjoy themselves with peace of mind. For parents, the assurance of their children's safety allows them to let their children play in the park with confidence. In this way, the AI system comprehensively protects the safety of children playing in the park and creates a park space where children can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
[0029] The AI system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, a warning unit, a tracking unit, a status monitoring unit, and a control unit. The monitoring unit monitors video footage of the park. The monitoring unit monitors video footage of the park in real time, for example, using an AI surveillance camera, and detects suspicious persons and dangerous behavior. The monitoring unit can, for example, use AI to analyze the video footage and identify suspicious persons and dangerous behavior. The monitoring unit can also issue a warning if it detects abnormal movement. The warning unit issues a warning based on the suspicious person or dangerous behavior detected by the monitoring unit. The warning unit can issue a warning, for example, an audible warning or a visual warning. The warning unit can, for example, issue an audible warning using a speaker. The warning unit can also issue a visual warning using a display. The tracking unit tracks the location of children. The tracking unit can, for example, track the location of children using GPS or RFID tags. The tracking unit can, for example, provide location information to parents. The tracking unit can also quickly locate a child if they get lost. The status monitoring unit monitors the condition of playground equipment and weather. The condition monitoring unit can, for example, monitor the condition of playground equipment using sensors. The condition monitoring unit can, for example, issue a warning if an abnormality occurs. The condition monitoring unit can also monitor changes in weather and issue a warning if abnormal weather occurs. The control unit controls the lost child detection robot. The control unit can, for example, have the lost child detection robot patrol the park. The control unit can, for example, have the lost child detection robot find a lost child. In this way, the AI system according to the embodiment can comprehensively protect safety in the park and provide an environment where children can play with peace of mind.
[0030] The monitoring unit monitors video footage within the park. For example, it uses AI-powered surveillance cameras to monitor the park's video in real time and detect suspicious individuals or dangerous behavior. Specifically, the AI cameras acquire high-resolution video and analyze the video data in real time. The AI uses deep learning technology to recognize people and movements within the video and detects abnormal movements compared to normal behavior patterns. For example, the AI can identify individuals who stay in a specific area for extended periods or those who make sudden movements as suspicious. The AI can also detect dangerous behaviors such as leaving objects unattended or acts of vandalism. This allows the monitoring unit to monitor the park's safety in real time and respond immediately if an anomaly occurs. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can issue warnings when it detects abnormal behavior. For example, if the AI detects a suspicious person, it sends that information to the warning unit, instructing the warning unit to issue an appropriate warning. This ensures the safety of the park and enables a rapid response.
[0031] The warning unit issues warnings based on suspicious individuals or dangerous behavior detected by the monitoring unit. The warning unit can issue, for example, audio and visual warnings. Specifically, the warning unit can issue audio warnings using speakers. For example, an audio warning might say, "A suspicious person has been detected. Please leave immediately," and is set to be audible throughout the park. The warning unit can also issue visual warnings using displays. For example, a visual warning might display a message such as, "A suspicious person has been detected. Please be careful," on displays installed in key areas of the park. This allows the warning unit to issue warnings to park users quickly and effectively, ensuring their safety. Furthermore, the warning unit can flexibly change the content and method of warnings depending on the situation. For example, stronger warnings can be issued at night or during times when there are fewer people to encourage a quicker response. In this way, the warning unit can comprehensively protect safety within the park and provide an environment where users can feel safe.
[0032] The tracking unit tracks the child's location. For example, it can track a child's location using GPS or RFID tags. Specifically, it uses small GPS devices or RFID tags that the child can wear, collecting location information transmitted from these devices in real time. The tracking unit analyzes this location information to accurately determine the child's current location. Furthermore, the tracking unit can provide location information to parents. For example, a dedicated application can be installed on a parent's smartphone to display the child's location in real time. This allows parents to always know where their child is in the park, giving them peace of mind while their child plays. The tracking unit can also quickly locate a child if they get lost. For example, if a child leaves a designated area, the tracking unit immediately issues a warning and notifies parents and park administrators. This enables a quick response and ensures the child's safety.
[0033] The condition monitoring unit monitors the condition of playground equipment and weather. For example, the condition monitoring unit can monitor the condition of playground equipment using sensors. Specifically, sensors attached to the equipment monitor the usage status and physical condition of the equipment in real time. For example, it can detect wear on swing chains or damage to the surface of slides. This allows for early detection of abnormalities in the playground equipment and appropriate maintenance. The condition monitoring unit can also monitor changes in weather and issue warnings if abnormal weather conditions occur. For example, it collects weather data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall, and notifies the warning unit if abnormal weather conditions are detected. This allows for prompt warnings to users and ensures safety. Furthermore, the condition monitoring unit can accumulate data on the condition of playground equipment and weather and perform long-term analysis. This allows for prediction of the lifespan of playground equipment and the optimal timing for maintenance, enabling efficient management.
[0034] The control unit controls the lost child detection robot. For example, the control unit can make the lost child detection robot patrol the park. Specifically, the control unit controls the robot's movement path and actions in real time to patrol the park efficiently. The lost child detection robot is equipped with cameras and sensors, allowing it to move while recognizing its surroundings. For example, the robot uses its cameras to acquire images of the park, and AI analyzes these images to identify lost children. The robot can also use voice and a display to call out to children and guide them back to their guardians. This allows the control unit to effectively operate the lost child detection robot and ensure safety within the park. Furthermore, the control unit monitors the operating status and battery level of the lost child detection robot and can perform charging and maintenance as needed. This increases the robot's operational efficiency and ensures it is always operating in optimal condition.
[0035] The monitoring unit can monitor video footage from the park in real time and detect suspicious individuals or dangerous behavior. For example, the monitoring unit can use AI surveillance cameras to monitor video footage from the park in real time. For example, the monitoring unit can use AI to analyze the video and identify suspicious individuals or dangerous behavior. The monitoring unit can also issue warnings if it detects abnormal activity. This enables a rapid response through real-time monitoring. Real-time monitoring is achieved, for example, by analyzing video from surveillance cameras in real time and detecting anomalies. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input video from surveillance cameras into a generative AI, which can then analyze the video and detect anomalies.
[0036] The warning unit can issue warnings based on suspicious persons or dangerous activities detected by the monitoring unit. The warning unit can issue, for example, audio warnings or visual warnings. The warning unit can issue audio warnings using a speaker, for example. The warning unit can also issue visual warnings using a display. This allows for rapid warnings against suspicious persons or dangerous activities. The specific method and content of the warnings may include, for example, an audio warning such as "A suspicious person has been detected. Please leave immediately." As a visual warning, the message "A suspicious person has been detected. Please leave immediately." can be displayed on the screen. Some or all of the above processing in the warning unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the warning unit can input information from the monitoring unit into a generation AI, and the generation AI can generate a warning message.
[0037] The tracking unit can track a child's location and provide the location information to the guardian. The tracking unit tracks the child's location using, for example, GPS or RFID tags.

Some or all of the above processing in the control unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the control unit can input the patrol route of the lost child detection robot into the generative AI, and the generative AI can set the optimal patrol route.
[0040] The monitoring unit can monitor the level of congestion in specific areas within the park and issue warnings if congestion occurs. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the level of congestion in the playground area in real time and issue a warning if the number of people exceeds a certain limit. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the level of congestion in the rest area and issue a warning if it becomes overcrowded. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the level of congestion near the entrance and issue a warning if entry restrictions are necessary. This allows for monitoring of congestion and issuing warnings at the appropriate time. The specific definition and monitoring method of congestion can be set based on, for example, the number of people or the size of the area. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generating AI, or it may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input congestion data into a generating AI, which can analyze the congestion and issue a warning.
[0041] The monitoring unit can monitor the movements of animals in the park and issue warnings if dangerous animals approach. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the movements of wild animals that frequent the park and issue warnings if danger is imminent. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the movements of animals in the pet area and issue warnings if they enter other areas. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the movements of flocks of birds and issue warnings if unusual behavior is observed. This allows for early detection and warning of the approach of dangerous animals.

For example, the monitoring unit can input illuminance data into a generation AI, which can then analyze the lighting conditions and issue a warning.
[0044] The warning unit can automatically obtain the contact information of guardians when a warning is issued and make an emergency contact. For example, if a child gets lost, the warning unit can automatically obtain the contact information of the guardians and make an emergency contact. For example, if a child is engaging in dangerous behavior, the warning unit will make an emergency contact with the guardians. For example, if an accident occurs in a park, the warning unit will make an emergency contact with the guardians. This allows for quick contact with guardians in emergencies. The specific method and criteria for obtaining guardians' contact information can be, for example, by using a registration database to obtain guardians' contact information and making contact through an emergency contact system. Some or all of the above-described processes in the warning unit may be performed using, for example, a generating AI, or without a generating AI. For example, the warning unit can input the guardians' contact information into a generating AI, which can then generate and send an emergency contact message.
[0045] The warning unit can set the priority of warnings when an alert is issued and apply different warning methods depending on the severity. For example, the warning unit will issue an emergency warning if a serious danger is imminent. For example, the warning unit will issue a cautionary warning if there is a minor danger. For example, the warning unit will issue a maintenance warning if regular maintenance is required. This allows for the selection of an appropriate warning method according to the severity of the warning. The specific method and criteria for setting the warning priority are set, for example, based on the hazard assessment criteria. Some or all of the above processing in the warning unit may be performed using, for example, a generating AI, or not using a generating AI. For example, the warning unit can input hazard data into a generating AI, which can then set the warning priority and select an appropriate warning method.
[0046] The warning unit can change the type of warning sound depending on the situation when a warning is issued. For example, if there is a serious danger, the warning unit will emit an emergency warning sound. For example, if there is a minor danger, the warning unit will emit a cautionary warning sound. For example, if periodic maintenance is required, the warning unit will emit a maintenance warning sound. This allows the unit to emit an appropriate warning sound according to the situation. The specific method and criteria for changing the type of warning sound are set, for example, based on adjustments to the type and volume of the sound. Some or all of the above processing in the warning unit may be performed using, for example, a generating AI, or not using a generating AI. For example, the warning unit can input situation data into a generating AI, and the generating AI can select and emit an appropriate warning sound.
[0047] The warning unit can display warning messages in multiple languages when a warning is issued.

This prevents the device from running out of power by monitoring the device's battery level and issuing warnings as needed. The specific method and criteria for monitoring the battery level are set based on, for example, the type of battery and the method for measuring the remaining charge. Some or all of the above-described processes in the tracking unit may be performed using, for example, a generating AI, or not using a generating AI. For example, the tracking unit can input battery data into a generating AI, which can then analyze the battery level and issue a warning.
[0050] The tracking unit can perform tracking by referring to the location information of the child's friends and family during tracking. For example, the tracking unit can select the optimal tracking route based on the location information of the child's friends and family. For example, if the child is with friends, the tracking unit will refer to the friends' location information to perform tracking. For example, if the child is with family, the tracking unit will refer to the family's location information to perform tracking. This makes tracking more efficient by referring to the location information of friends and family. The specific method and criteria for obtaining the location information of friends and family are set based on, for example, the method of obtaining location information and the method of sharing data. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the tracking unit can input the location information of friends and family into a generative AI, and the generative AI can select the optimal tracking route.
[0051] The tracking unit can change its tracking method depending on the type of device the child is wearing. For example, if the child is wearing a smartwatch, the tracking unit will use GPS for tracking. If the child has a smartphone, the tracking unit will use location services for tracking. If the child has a dedicated tracking device, the tracking unit will make full use of the device's functions for tracking. This allows the optimal tracking method to be applied according to the type of device. The specific methods and criteria for changing the tracking method according to the type of device are set based on, for example, the characteristics of the device and the type of tracking technology.

If the child is tired, the warning unit will issue a warning at the appropriate time to encourage a break. By adjusting the timing of the warning according to the child's emotions, more effective warnings can be made. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the warning unit may be performed using a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the warning unit can input the child's facial expression data into a generative AI, which can then estimate the emotions and adjust the timing of the warning.
[0091] The warning unit can change the type of warning sound depending on the situation when a warning is issued. For example, if there is a serious danger, the warning unit will emit an emergency warning sound. For example, if there is a minor danger, the warning unit will emit a cautionary warning sound. For example, if periodic maintenance is required, the warning unit will emit a maintenance warning sound. This allows the unit to emit an appropriate warning sound according to the situation. The specific method and criteria for changing the type of warning sound are set, for example, based on adjustments to the type and volume of the sound.

[0132] 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.

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.
[0137] 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.

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.).
[0140] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing.

The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

[0160] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0161] 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.

[0175] 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.
[0176] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, warning unit, tracking unit, status monitoring unit, and control unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit uses the camera 42 of the robot 414 to monitor images of the park in real time, and the control unit 46A detects suspicious persons or dangerous behavior. The warning unit uses the speaker 240 of the robot 414 to issue audio warnings and the display to issue visual warnings. The tracking unit uses the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 to track the child's location using GPS or RFID tags and provides location information to the guardian. The status monitoring unit uses the sensors of the robot 414 to monitor the condition of playground equipment and weather, and issues a warning if an abnormality occurs. The control unit uses the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 to have the lost child detection robot patrol the park and find lost children. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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."
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
