[0028] (Example of form 1) An agricultural support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to construct an optimal growing environment that takes weather into consideration and to optimize post-harvest sorting work. The agricultural support system uses generative AI to analyze weather data and construct an optimal growing environment. For example, it collects weather data such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation, and the generative AI analyzes this data to provide optimal growing conditions for crops. This is expected to improve crop quality and increase yields. Next, the agricultural support system optimizes post-harvest sorting work. The generative AI determines the quality of the harvested crops and performs appropriate sorting. For example, the generative AI uses image recognition technology to analyze the appearance of crops and automatically sorts good quality crops from poor quality crops. This improves the efficiency of sorting work and contributes to solving labor shortages. The agricultural support system enables farmers to solve the problem of labor shortages and operate agriculturally efficiently. By utilizing generative AI, it is possible to improve agricultural productivity by providing an optimal growing environment that takes weather into consideration and automating post-harvest sorting work. As a result, the agricultural support system realizes improved crop quality and increased yields, enabling efficient agricultural operation.

The collection unit can collect weather data such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation. The collection unit can collect temperature data using a temperature sensor, humidity data using a humidity sensor, and precipitation data using a precipitation sensor. The analysis unit analyzes the weather data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the weather data using a generation AI, for example. The generation AI takes temperature data, humidity data, and precipitation data as input and outputs optimal growth conditions. The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the weather data and provide optimal growth conditions for crops. The construction unit constructs an optimal growth environment based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The construction unit uses the generation AI to construct an optimal growth environment, for example. The generation AI adjusts conditions such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil pH to provide an optimal growth environment for crops. As a result, the agricultural support system according to this embodiment can collect and analyze weather data and create an optimal growing environment, which is expected to improve crop quality and increase yields.
[0030] The data collection unit collects weather data. For example, it can collect weather data such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Specifically, it collects temperature data using temperature sensors. Temperature sensors are installed in various locations on farmland to monitor daily temperature fluctuations in real time. This allows for the immediate detection of sudden temperature changes and abnormally high or low temperatures. Humidity data can also be collected using humidity sensors. Humidity sensors measure soil moisture and air humidity, which are important for crop growth, providing data to determine the appropriate timing for irrigation and ventilation. Precipitation data can also be collected using precipitation sensors. Precipitation sensors accurately measure the presence and amount of rainfall, providing information to prevent flood risks due to excessive rainfall and water shortages due to drought. These sensors transmit data to a central database using wireless communication technology, and the data collection unit manages this data centrally. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also incorporate data from weather satellites and ground-based weather observation stations to collect wide-area weather information. This allows the data collection unit to integrate local and regional weather data, enabling more accurate weather forecasts. By updating this data in real time and providing the latest information at all times, the data collection unit can improve the accuracy and reliability of the entire agricultural support system.

The generative AI takes, for example, temperature data, humidity data, and precipitation data as input and outputs the optimal growing conditions. Specifically, the generative AI compares past weather data with current weather data to predict the optimal conditions for crop growth. For example, it analyzes temperature data to identify the temperature range suitable for crop growth. It analyzes humidity data to calculate the appropriate timing and amount of irrigation. It analyzes precipitation data to assess the risk of flooding due to excessive rainfall and propose necessary countermeasures. The generative AI integrates this data to provide the optimal conditions for crop growth. Furthermore, the generative AI can dynamically adjust the optimal growing conditions according to the type of crop and its growth stage. For example, young seedlings require high humidity, while mature crops require moderate dryness. Taking such changes in conditions into consideration, the generative AI provides the optimal growing conditions in real time. In addition, the generative AI can respond quickly to extreme weather and unexpected weather fluctuations. For example, if a rapid rise in temperature or an increase in rainfall is predicted, the generating AI will immediately issue a warning and suggest appropriate countermeasures. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected weather data and provide optimal conditions for crop growth.
[0032] The construction unit constructs the optimal growing environment based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the construction unit uses generative AI to construct the optimal growing environment. The generative AI adjusts conditions such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil pH to provide the optimal growing environment for crops. Specifically, it uses a temperature control system to maintain a temperature suitable for crop growth. For example, it controls heaters and cooling devices in the greenhouse to maintain an appropriate temperature according to temperature fluctuations. It uses a humidity control system to maintain appropriate humidity. For example, it controls humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain the humidity necessary for crop growth. It uses a light intensity adjustment system to provide the appropriate light intensity. For example, it controls LED lighting to provide the light intensity necessary for crop growth. Appropriate fertilizers and soil conditioners are used to adjust the soil pH. In this way, the construction unit provides the optimal environment for crop growth, resulting in improved quality and increased yields. Furthermore, the construction unit can automate these adjustments, monitor environmental conditions in real time, and make adjustments as needed. For example, it can automatically adjust temperature, humidity, and light intensity based on data from sensors to maintain the optimal growing environment. Furthermore, the system can immediately issue a warning and propose appropriate countermeasures if abnormal environmental conditions are detected. This allows the system to consistently provide the optimal growing environment, supporting improved crop quality and increased yields.

The diagnostic unit can also diagnose crop growth and suggest the supply of necessary nutrients and water. For instance, it can analyze the color and shape of crop leaves to diagnose nutrient and water deficiencies. Furthermore, the diagnostic unit can diagnose the quality of crops after harvest and suggest appropriate storage methods. This allows farmers to maintain crop quality and maximize profits.
[0103] The agricultural support system can also be equipped with an optimization unit.

Furthermore, the optimization unit can optimize post-harvest sorting, improving the efficiency of separating high-quality crops from lower-quality ones. This allows farmers to utilize labor efficiently and improve work efficiency.
[0104] The agricultural support system can further monitor farmers' stress levels using emotion estimation capabilities. For example, the data collection unit can analyze farmers' facial expressions and voice to estimate their stress levels. This allows the system to understand the farmers' mental health and provide necessary support. The analysis unit can also adjust work schedules based on the farmers' stress levels. For instance, if stress levels are high, it can suggest reducing the workload. Furthermore, the notification unit can provide farmers with advice on relaxation methods and stress relief. This helps farmers maintain their mental health and perform agricultural work efficiently.
[0105] The agricultural support system can further improve farmers' motivation by utilizing emotion estimation capabilities. For example, the data collection unit can analyze farmers' facial expressions and voices to estimate their motivation levels. This allows the system to understand farmers' motivation and provide appropriate support. The analysis unit can also adjust work tasks based on the farmers' motivation levels. For instance, if motivation is low, simpler tasks can be prioritized. Furthermore, the notification unit can provide farmers with encouraging messages and success stories. This helps farmers maintain motivation and perform agricultural work efficiently.
[0106] The agricultural support system can further utilize emotion estimation capabilities to provide customized advice based on the farmer's emotions. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the farmer's facial expressions and voice to estimate their current emotional state. This allows for the provision of appropriate advice tailored to the farmer's feelings. The analysis unit can also adjust the content and method of advice based on the farmer's emotional state. For instance, if a farmer is feeling stressed, the system can provide advice on relaxation techniques and stress relief. Furthermore, the notification unit can provide farmers with customized advice based on their emotions. This allows farmers to receive appropriate support tailored to their feelings and perform agricultural work more efficiently.
[0107] The agricultural support system can further facilitate communication based on farmers' emotions by utilizing emotion estimation capabilities. For example, the data collection unit can analyze farmers' facial expressions and voices to estimate their current emotional state. This facilitates appropriate communication tailored to the farmer's emotions. The analysis unit can also adjust the content and method of communication based on the farmer's emotional state. For instance, if a farmer is feeling anxious, the system can suggest reassuring communication. Furthermore, the notification unit can provide farmers with advice on emotion-based communication. This allows farmers to communicate appropriately according to their emotions and perform agricultural work efficiently.
[0108] The agricultural support system can further utilize emotion estimation capabilities to provide feedback based on the farmer's emotions. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the farmer's facial expressions and voice to estimate their current emotional state. This allows for the provision of appropriate feedback tailored to the farmer's feelings. The analysis unit can also adjust the content and method of feedback based on the farmer's emotional state. For instance, if the farmer is feeling joyful, positive feedback can be provided. Furthermore, the notification unit can provide emotion-based feedback to the farmer. This allows the farmer to receive appropriate feedback according to their emotions, enabling them to perform agricultural work more efficiently.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0151] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.
[0152] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0153] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0154] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0155] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0156] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0157] 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.
[0158] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0159] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0160] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, construction unit, and judgment unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects weather data using the sensors of the robot 414 and transmits it to the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the weather data using a generating AI. The construction unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and constructs the optimal growing environment based on the analysis results. The judgment unit acquires images of harvested crops using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and determines the quality by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.

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.
