[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.

[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 security protection system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that entrusts protection and support against security issues such as unauthorized use and leakage of personal information to a generating AI. This security protection system collects information related to the user's security, the generating AI analyzes the collected information, determines the risk of unauthorized use and leakage of personal information, and provides appropriate protective measures and support. For example, the security protection system collects information such as the user's access history, information about the device being used, and the network status. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected information and determines the risk of unauthorized use and leakage of personal information. For example, it analyzes the user's access history to determine whether unauthorized access has occurred. It also analyzes information about the device being used to determine whether the device is infected with malware. Furthermore, the generating AI provides appropriate protective measures and support based on the determination results. For example, if unauthorized access is detected, the generating AI issues a warning to the user and takes measures to block access. Also, if the device is infected with malware, the generating AI guides the user on how to remove the malware. Through this mechanism, protection and support against security issues such as unauthorized use and leakage of personal information are provided. Users can use the internet with peace of mind by receiving security measures powered by generated AI. For example, when using services such as online shopping or internet banking, generated AI monitors the risk of fraudulent use and provides necessary protective measures to ensure user safety. In this way, the security protection system can reduce security risks by collecting and analyzing user security information and providing appropriate protective measures and support.
[0029] The security protection system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information related to the user's security. For example, the collection unit collects information such as the user's access history, information about the device being used, and the network status. For example, the collection unit collects information such as what kind of device the user is using and what kind of network they are connected to. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and determines the risk of unauthorized use and leakage of personal information. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's access history and determines whether unauthorized access has occurred. The analysis unit also analyzes information about the device being used and determines whether the device is infected with malware. The provision unit provides protective measures and support based on the determination results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, if unauthorized access is detected, the provision unit issues a warning to the user and takes measures to block access. Furthermore, if the device is infected with malware, the provision unit guides the user on how to remove the malware. In this way, the security protection system according to this embodiment can reduce security risks by collecting and analyzing information related to the user's security and providing appropriate protective measures and support.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user security information. Specifically, it collects information such as user access history, device information, and network status. For example, it collects information such as what devices users are using and what networks they are connected to. The data collection unit obtains detailed information such as the IP address, browser type, and operating system version when users access websites. It also collects hardware information and installed software versions of the devices users are using. Furthermore, regarding network status, it collects information such as the SSID and signal strength of the connected Wi-Fi, network latency, and packet loss rate. This information is collected in real time and used to assess security risks. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis unit. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the data collection unit to determine the risk of misuse and leakage of personal information. Specifically, it analyzes user access history to determine whether unauthorized access is occurring. For example, if there are frequent accesses from unusual times or locations, the analysis unit will determine that the access is unauthorized. It also analyzes information about the devices being used to determine whether the devices are infected with malware. For example, if the CPU usage or memory usage of a device is abnormally high, the analysis unit will determine that the device may be infected with malware. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze this data in real time and quickly detect abnormal patterns and malicious behavior. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to learn normal patterns from past data and detect abnormal patterns. It can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect patterns that are different from the norm or abnormal data and issue warnings early. As a result, the analysis unit can not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0032] The service provider will provide protective measures and support based on the results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, if unauthorized access is detected, the service provider will warn the user and take measures to block access. For example, if an unauthorized access attempt is made to a user's account, the service provider will immediately notify the user and prompt them to lock the account or change their password. In addition, if a device is infected with malware, the service provider will guide the user on how to remove the malware. For example, they will provide specific removal procedures and information on recommended security software for devices suspected of infection. Furthermore, the service provider will also provide education and training to raise users' security awareness. For example, by providing security knowledge such as how to identify phishing emails and how to create strong passwords, users will be able to take actions to reduce risks themselves. This allows the service provider to provide users with prompt and appropriate protective measures and support, thereby reducing security risks. Furthermore, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the protective measures and support they provide. For example, by reviewing the content of warning messages and notification methods based on user feedback, they can achieve more effective security measures. This allows the service provider to always offer users the latest and most optimal protections and support, minimizing security risks.
[0033] The data collection unit can collect information such as user access history, device information, and network status. For example, the data collection unit can collect user access history. For example, the data collection unit can collect information such as access date and time, and source IP address. The data collection unit can also collect information about the device being used. For example, the data collection unit can collect information such as device type and OS version. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect network status. For example, the data collection unit can collect information such as network speed and connection status. By collecting user access history, device information, and network status, the accuracy of security risk assessment is improved. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the data collection unit can input user access history into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform analysis of the access history.
[0034] The analysis unit can determine the risk of misuse and leakage of personal information based on the collected information. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a user's access history to determine whether unauthorized access has occurred. For example, the analysis unit can detect unauthorized access based on the access date and time and the source IP address. The analysis unit can also analyze information about the device being used to determine whether the device is infected with malware. For example, the analysis unit can determine the risk of malware infection based on the device type and OS version. By determining the risk based on the collected information, appropriate protective measures can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generating AI, or it may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the risk determination.
[0035] The service provider can take measures to warn the user and block access if unauthorized access is detected. For example, if unauthorized access is detected, the service provider can warn the user. For example, the service provider can display a warning message to the user. The service provider can also take measures to block access. For example, the service provider can block the IP address of the unauthorized access source. This reduces security risks by enabling a rapid response when unauthorized access is detected. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the service provider can input the results of the unauthorized access detection into a generation AI and leave the generation AI to generate a warning message and perform access blocking.
[0036] The service provider can guide users on how to remove malware if their device is infected. For example, the service provider can issue a warning to the user if their device is infected with malware. For example, the service provider can display a message to the user guiding them on how to remove the malware. The service provider can also provide malware removal tools. For example, the service provider can provide the user with a download link for the malware removal tool. This reduces security risks by guiding users on appropriate measures when their device is infected with malware. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the service provider can input the malware infection detection result into a generation AI and leave the generation AI to generate a message guiding users on how to remove the malware.
[0037] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past security incident history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of specific device information based on the types of incidents the user has encountered in the past. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the time periods in which the user's past incidents occurred and focus on collecting information during those time periods. The data collection unit can also adjust the collection frequency based on the frequency of the user's past incidents. This allows for the selection of the optimal data collection method by analyzing past incident history, thereby improving the accuracy of security risk assessment. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using or without a generating AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past security incident history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0038] The data collection unit can filter security information based on the user's current activities and areas of interest. For example, if the user is online shopping, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting relevant security information. If the user is at work, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting security information related to their work. If the user is traveling, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting security information related to their travel destination. This allows for the efficient collection of highly relevant information by filtering information based on the user's activities and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data on the user's current activities and areas of interest into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the filtering.
[0039] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location when collecting security information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of security information for that region. For example, if the user is traveling, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of security information for the travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of security information for the area around their home. This allows for the efficient collection of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the collection of highly relevant information.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze a user's social media activity and collect relevant information when collecting security information. For example, if a user mentions a specific topic on social media, the data collection unit can collect security information related to that topic. For example, if a user participates in a specific event on social media, the data collection unit can collect security information related to that event. The data collection unit can also collect security information related to a specific location if a user checks in to that location on social media. This allows for the efficient collection of relevant security information by analyzing a user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data on the user's social media activity into a generative AI and have the generative AI collect the relevant information.
[0041] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of risk assessment by considering the interrelationships of security information during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of risk assessment by analyzing the interrelationships between user access history and device information. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk patterns by analyzing the correlation between access history and device information. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of risk assessment by analyzing the interrelationships between network status and device information. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk situations by analyzing the correlation between network speed and device type. Furthermore, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of risk assessment by analyzing the interrelationships between user access history and network status. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk access by analyzing the correlation between the access source IP address and network speed. This improves the accuracy of risk assessment by considering the interrelationships of security information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input interrelationship data of security information into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the improvement of risk assessment accuracy.
[0042] The analysis unit can perform risk assessments by considering the user's attribute information during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can perform risk assessments by considering the user's age and gender. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk behavioral patterns based on age and gender. The analysis unit can also perform risk assessments by considering the user's occupation and position. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk behavioral patterns based on occupation and position. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also perform risk assessments by considering the user's place of residence and living environment. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk behavioral patterns based on place of residence and living environment. This makes it possible to perform more appropriate risk assessments by considering the user's attribute information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's attribute information into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the risk assessment.
[0043] The analysis unit can perform risk assessments by considering the geographical distribution of security information during analysis. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the analysis unit can perform risk assessments based on the security information of that region. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the frequency of security incidents in a specific region and identify high-risk areas. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the analysis unit can perform risk assessments based on the security information of the travel destination. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the occurrence of security incidents in the travel destination and identify high-risk areas. In addition, if the user is at home, the analysis unit can perform risk assessments based on security information around the user's home. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the occurrence of security incidents around the user's home and identify high-risk areas. This allows for more appropriate risk assessments by considering the geographical distribution of security information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input geographical distribution data of security information into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform risk assessments.

For example, the analysis unit can identify new risk factors based on the latest security research papers. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of risk assessment by referring to past security incident reports. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk patterns based on past security incident reports. Furthermore, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of risk assessment by referring to the opinions of security experts. For example, the analysis unit can identify high-risk behavioral patterns based on the opinions of security experts. In this way, the accuracy of risk assessment is improved by referring to relevant literature. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data from relevant literature into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the improvement of risk assessment accuracy.
[0045] The service provider can select the optimal method when providing protective measures and support by referring to the user's past security incident history. For example, the service provider can provide the optimal protective measures based on the types of incidents the user has encountered in the past. For example, the service provider can prioritize the provision of specific protective measures based on the types of past incidents. The service provider can also select the optimal support method by referring to the time periods when the user's past incidents occurred. For example, the service provider can prioritize the provision of specific support methods based on the time periods when the past incidents occurred. Furthermore, the service provider can also provide the optimal protective measures based on the frequency of the user's past incidents. For example, the service provider can prioritize the provision of specific protective measures based on the frequency of past incidents. This allows the service provider to provide optimal protective measures and support by referring to past incident history. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's past security incident history into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal protective measures and support methods.
[0046] The service provider can customize the means used to provide protective measures and support based on the user's current activity.

For example, the service provider can display a phishing scam warning to the user while they are online shopping. The service provider can also provide work-related support if the user is at work. For example, the service provider can provide work-related security information to the user while they are at work. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the service provider can provide security information about their travel destination. For example, the service provider can provide information about security risks at their travel destination to the user while they are traveling. This allows for the provision of more appropriate protective measures and support by customizing the means according to the user's activity. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using a generative AI, or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's current activity data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the customization of the means.
[0047] The service provider can select the optimal method when providing protective measures and support, taking into account the user's geographical location.

Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using a generative AI, or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's geographical location information into a generative AI and have the generative AI select the optimal protective measures and support methods.
[0048] The service provider can analyze a user's social media activity and propose measures when providing safeguards and support. For example, if a user mentions a specific topic on social media, the service provider can provide safeguards related to that topic. For example, if a user participates in a specific event on social media, the service provider can provide support related to that event. The service provider can also provide safeguards related to a specific location if a user checks in to a specific location on social media. In this way, by analyzing a user's social media activity, the service provider can provide relevant safeguards and support. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using or without a generative AI. For example, the service provider can input data on the user's social media activity into a generative AI and have the generative AI propose measures.
[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0050] The security protection system may also include a predictive unit that learns and predicts user behavior patterns. For example, if a user tends to access a particular website during a specific time period, the predictive unit can proactively assess security risks during that time period and prepare appropriate protective measures. The predictive unit can also learn how often and where a user uses a particular device and predict security risks associated with that device and location. Furthermore, based on the user's past behavior data, the predictive unit can predict the likelihood of future security incidents and take preventative measures. In this way, the predictive unit can prevent security risks by learning and predicting user behavior patterns.
[0051] The security protection system can also include a customization section that tailors security information based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if a user frequently visits websites related to a particular hobby, the customization section can prioritize notifying them of security risks related to that hobby. Furthermore, if a user has specific interests, the customization section can provide security information related to those interests. In addition, the customization section can suggest security measures based on the user's hobbies and interests. This allows the customization section to provide more relevant information by tailoring security information to the user's hobbies and interests.
[0052] The security protection system may also include a predictive unit that analyzes the user's past behavior history and predicts security risks based on behavioral patterns. For example, if a user tends to access a particular website during a specific time period, the predictive unit can pre-assess the security risks during that time period and prepare appropriate protective measures.

[0054] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0055] Step 1: The collection unit collects information related to the user's security. Specifically, it collects information such as the user's access history, information about the devices being used, and network status. For example, it collects information such as what devices the user is using and what networks they are connected to. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit to determine the risk of misuse or leakage of personal information. Specifically, it analyzes the user's access history to determine whether unauthorized access has occurred. It also analyzes information about the device being used to determine whether the device is infected with malware. Step 3: The service provider will provide protective measures and support based on the results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, if unauthorized access is detected, the service provider will issue a warning to the user and take measures to block access. In addition, if the device is infected with malware, the service provider will guide the user on how to remove the malware.
[0056] (Example of form 2) The security protection system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that entrusts protection and support against security issues such as unauthorized use and leakage of personal information to a generating AI. This security protection system collects information related to the user's security, the generating AI analyzes the collected information, determines the risk of unauthorized use and leakage of personal information, and provides appropriate protective measures and support. For example, the security protection system collects information such as the user's access history, information about the device being used, and the network status. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected information and determines the risk of unauthorized use and leakage of personal information. For example, it analyzes the user's access history to determine whether unauthorized access has occurred. It also analyzes information about the device being used to determine whether the device is infected with malware. Furthermore, the generating AI provides appropriate protective measures and support based on the determination results. For example, if unauthorized access is detected, the generating AI issues a warning to the user and takes measures to block access. Also, if the device is infected with malware, the generating AI guides the user on how to remove the malware. Through this mechanism, protection and support against security issues such as unauthorized use and leakage of personal information are provided. Users can use the internet with peace of mind by receiving security measures powered by generated AI. For example, when using services such as online shopping or internet banking, generated AI monitors the risk of fraudulent use and provides necessary protective measures to ensure user safety. In this way, the security protection system can reduce security risks by collecting and analyzing user security information and providing appropriate protective measures and support.
[0057] The security protection system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information related to the user's security. For example, the collection unit collects information such as the user's access history, information about the device being used, and the network status. For example, the collection unit collects information such as what kind of device the user is using and what kind of network they are connected to. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and determines the risk of unauthorized use and leakage of personal information. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's access history and determines whether unauthorized access has occurred. The analysis unit also analyzes information about the device being used and determines whether the device is infected with malware.

For example, if unauthorized access is detected, the provision unit issues a warning to the user and takes measures to block access. Furthermore, if the device is infected with malware, the provision unit guides the user on how to remove the malware. In this way, the security protection system according to this embodiment can reduce security risks by collecting and analyzing information related to the user's security and providing appropriate protective measures and support.
[0058] The data collection unit collects user security information. Specifically, it collects information such as user access history, device information, and network status. For example, it collects information such as what devices users are using and what networks they are connected to. The data collection unit obtains detailed information such as the IP address, browser type, and operating system version when users access websites. It also collects hardware information and installed software versions of the devices users are using. Furthermore, regarding network status, it collects information such as the SSID and signal strength of the connected Wi-Fi, network latency, and packet loss rate. This information is collected in real time and used to assess security risks. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis unit. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0059] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the data collection unit to determine the risk of misuse and leakage of personal information. Specifically, it analyzes user access history to determine whether unauthorized access is occurring. For example, if there are frequent accesses from unusual times or locations, the analysis unit will determine that the access is unauthorized. It also analyzes information about the devices being used to determine whether the devices are infected with malware. For example, if the CPU usage or memory usage of a device is abnormally high, the analysis unit will determine that the device may be infected with malware. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze this data in real time and quickly detect abnormal patterns and malicious behavior. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to learn normal patterns from past data and detect abnormal patterns. It can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect patterns that are different from the norm or abnormal data and issue warnings early. As a result, the analysis unit can not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0060] The service provider will provide protective measures and support based on the results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, if unauthorized access is detected, the service provider will warn the user and take measures to block access. For example, if an unauthorized access attempt is made to a user's account, the service provider will immediately notify the user and prompt them to lock the account or change their password. In addition, if a device is infected with malware, the service provider will guide the user on how to remove the malware. For example, they will provide specific removal procedures and information on recommended security software for devices suspected of infection. Furthermore, the service provider will also provide education and training to raise users' security awareness. For example, by providing security knowledge such as how to identify phishing emails and how to create strong passwords, users will be able to take actions to reduce risks themselves. This allows the service provider to provide users with prompt and appropriate protective measures and support, thereby reducing security risks. Furthermore, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the protective measures and support they provide. For example, by reviewing the content of warning messages and notification methods based on user feedback, they can achieve more effective security measures. This allows the service provider to always offer users the latest and most optimal protections and support, minimizing security risks.
[0061] The data collection unit can collect information such as user access history, device information, and network status. For example, the data collection unit can collect user access history. For example, the data collection unit can collect information such as access date and time, and source IP address. The data collection unit can also collect information about the device being used. For example, the data collection unit can collect information such as device type and OS version. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect network status. For example, the data collection unit can collect information such as network speed and connection status. By collecting user access history, device information, and network status, the accuracy of security risk assessment is improved. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the data collection unit can input user access history into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform analysis of the access history.
[0062] The analysis unit can determine the risk of misuse and leakage of personal information based on the collected information.

[0065] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of security information collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the data collection unit can delay the collection timing to reduce the user's burden. For example, the data collection unit can capture the user's facial expressions with a camera and estimate their emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. The data collection unit can also accelerate the collection timing to quickly acquire information if the user is relaxed. For example, the data collection unit can record the user's voice and estimate their emotions using voice analysis technology. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the data collection unit can optimize the collection timing to efficiently acquire information. For example, the data collection unit can collect the user's biometric data (heart rate and skin electrical activity) with sensors and estimate their emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. This allows the data collection timing to be adjusted according to the user's emotions, reducing the user's burden and efficiently collecting information. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0083] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0084] The security protection system may also include a predictive unit that learns and predicts user behavior patterns.

For example, if a user frequently visits websites related to a particular hobby, the customization section can prioritize notifying them of security risks related to that hobby. Furthermore, if a user has specific interests, the customization section can provide security information related to those interests. In addition, the customization section can suggest security measures based on the user's hobbies and interests. This allows the customization section to provide more relevant information by tailoring security information to the user's hobbies and interests.
[0088] The security protection system may further include a priority determination unit that estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of security measures based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the priority determination unit can prioritize the execution of critical security measures. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the priority determination unit can execute standard security measures. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the priority determination unit can prioritize security measures that can be addressed quickly. In this way, the priority determination unit can quickly execute critical measures by determining the priority of security measures according to the user's emotions.
[0089] The security protection system may also include a predictive unit that analyzes the user's past behavior history and predicts security risks based on behavioral patterns. For example, if a user tends to access a particular website during a specific time period, the predictive unit can pre-assess the security risks during that time period and prepare appropriate protective measures. The predictive unit can also learn how often and where a user uses a particular device and predict security risks associated with that device and location. Furthermore, based on the user's past behavioral data, the predictive unit can predict the likelihood of future security incidents and take preventative measures. In this way, the predictive unit can prevent security risks by learning and predicting user behavior patterns.
[0090] The security protection system may also include a notification unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the method of notifying users of security risks based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the notification unit can downplay notifications and only notify them of important risks. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the notification unit can provide detailed risk information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the notification unit can provide concise and rapid notifications. In this way, the notification unit can reduce the burden on the user and provide appropriate risk information by adjusting the notification method according to the user's emotions.
[0091] The security protection system may also include a health monitoring unit that monitors the user's health status and adjusts the response to security risks based on that status. For example, the health monitoring unit can monitor the user's heart rate and blood pressure, and if an abnormality is detected, it can refrain from issuing security risk notifications. Furthermore, if the user is healthy, the health monitoring unit can perform normal security risk responses. Additionally, if the user is fatigued, the health monitoring unit can provide a concise and rapid response. In this way, by adjusting the response method according to the user's health status, the health monitoring unit can reduce the user's burden and provide appropriate security measures.
[0092] The security protection system can also include a customization section that tailors security information based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if a user frequently visits websites related to a particular hobby, the customization section can prioritize notifying them of security risks related to that hobby. Furthermore, if a user has specific interests, the customization section can provide security information related to those interests. In addition, the customization section can suggest security measures based on the user's hobbies and interests. This allows the customization section to provide more relevant information by tailoring security information to the user's hobbies and interests.
[0093] The security protection system may further include a priority determination unit that estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of security measures based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the priority determination unit can prioritize the execution of critical security measures. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the priority determination unit can execute standard security measures. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the priority determination unit can prioritize security measures that can be addressed quickly. In this way, the priority determination unit can quickly execute critical measures by determining the priority of security measures according to the user's emotions.
[0094] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0095] Step 1: The collection unit collects information related to the user's security. Specifically, it collects information such as the user's access history, information about the devices being used, and network status. For example, it collects information such as what devices the user is using and what networks they are connected to. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit to determine the risk of misuse or leakage of personal information. Specifically, it analyzes the user's access history to determine whether unauthorized access has occurred. It also analyzes information about the device being used to determine whether the device is infected with malware. Step 3: The service provider will provide protective measures and support based on the results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, if unauthorized access is detected, the service provider will issue a warning to the user and take measures to block access. In addition, if the device is infected with malware, the service provider will guide the user on how to remove the malware.

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.
[0146] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0147] 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.
[0148] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects user access history and device information using the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected information and determines the risk of misuse or leakage of personal information. The provision unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which issues a warning to the user based on the determination result and provides appropriate protective measures. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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."
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
