Specifically, the detection unit uses an anomaly detection algorithm to detect anomalies. An anomaly detection algorithm learns normal data patterns and can identify abnormal data that deviates from them. For example, if heart rate or blood pressure data exceeds the normal range, it can be detected as an anomaly. The detection unit can also detect anomalies using a rule-based system. A rule-based system detects anomalies based on pre-set rules and thresholds. For example, if heart rate exceeds a certain range or blood pressure fluctuates rapidly, it can be detected as an anomaly. Furthermore, the detection unit can also detect anomalies by setting an anomaly threshold. The threshold is set based on past data and the opinions of medical professionals, and data exceeding this threshold is treated as an anomaly. This allows the detection unit to detect anomalies with high accuracy and speed, enabling early response. Furthermore, the detection unit can combine multiple anomaly detection algorithms to improve the accuracy of anomaly detection. For example, using a machine learning algorithm in combination with a rule-based system can improve the accuracy and reliability of anomaly detection. This allows the detection unit to continuously monitor the health status of elderly individuals, enabling early detection of abnormalities and prompt response.
[0033] The response unit takes action to provide early treatment and prevent accidents based on abnormalities detected by the detection unit. For example, the response unit notifies care staff when an abnormality is detected. Specifically, the response unit notifies care staff by issuing an alert. The alert is reliably transmitted using multiple means, such as voice notifications, vibration notifications, and smartphone push notifications. The response unit can also automatically call an ambulance when an abnormality is detected. The ambulance call is automatically notified to a pre-set emergency contact, enabling a quick response. Furthermore, the response unit can issue a voice warning to the elderly when an abnormality is detected. Voice warnings are an important means for the elderly to immediately recognize the abnormality and take appropriate action. This enables the response unit to detect abnormalities early and respond quickly, ensuring the safety of the elderly. In addition, the response unit can pre-set response procedures when an abnormality is detected, enabling a quick and effective response. For example, the response procedure when an abnormality is detected can be set to first notify care staff, and then, if necessary, call an ambulance. This allows the response unit to respond quickly and reliably to abnormal situations, ensuring the safety of the elderly. Furthermore, the response unit records the history of responses when abnormalities are detected, which can be used later to evaluate the effectiveness of the responses and identify areas for improvement. This enables the response unit to continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its responses, supporting the health management of the elderly.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0143] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

[0166] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
[0181] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, detection unit, and response unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects health data such as the heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature of elderly people using the sensors of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data using AI. The detection unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and detects abnormalities based on the analyzed data. The response unit is implemented in, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and notifies the care staff when an abnormality is detected. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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."
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.

All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
