[0028] (Example of form 1) The electronic communication log system for children according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically generates text using a generation AI in an electronic communication log for children used in nurseries and kindergartens. In this system, a childcare worker takes a picture of the child with a smartphone, the generation AI analyzes the picture and converts the child's activities into text, which is then automatically entered into the electronic communication log. This reduces the burden on childcare workers and facilitates smoother communication with parents. For example, a childcare worker takes a picture of the child with a smartphone. For example, they might take a picture of the child playing or eating. This picture is input into the generation AI. Next, the generation AI analyzes the input picture and converts the child's activities into text. The generation AI understands the content of the picture and converts what the child was doing, what expression they had, etc., into text. For example, a sentence such as "Today, XX-chan was playing in the sandbox. They seemed to be having a lot of fun." is generated. The generated text is automatically entered into the electronic communication log. The childcare worker can check the generated text and make corrections as needed. Once the corrections are complete, the communication log is sent to the parents. This system reduces the burden on childcare workers. Childcare workers only need to photograph the children; the AI generates the entries for the communication log, significantly reducing the time spent creating the log. Parents can also learn more about their children's activities, providing topics for conversation at home. Furthermore, the AI can periodically compile photos and log entries into albums. For example, albums can be created at the end of the school year or upon graduation. This streamlines administrative tasks for childcare workers. This AI-generated communication log allows childcare workers to dedicate more resources to important communications and communication with children and parents. For instance, important information, such as a child's injury, can be communicated directly to parents by the childcare worker without relying on the AI. Thus, utilizing the AI reduces the burden on childcare workers and facilitates smoother communication with parents. Additionally, childcare workers can focus on important communications, improving the quality of childcare. In summary, this electronic communication log system for children reduces the burden on childcare workers and facilitates smoother communication with parents.
[0029] The electronic communication log system for kindergarten children according to this embodiment comprises a shooting unit, a generation unit, and a writing unit. The shooting unit takes pictures of the children. These pictures include, but are not limited to, playing, eating, or napping. The shooting unit can, for example, use a smartphone camera to take pictures of the children. The shooting unit can also take high-resolution photographs using a digital camera. Furthermore, the shooting unit can also record videos using a video camera. For example, the shooting unit can take pictures of the children playing using a smartphone camera. It can also take pictures of the children eating using a digital camera. It can also take pictures of the children napping using a video camera. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the pictures taken by the shooting unit and convert the children's actions into text. For example, the generation AI understands the content of the pictures and converts what the children were doing, what expressions they were making, etc., into text. For example, the generation unit receives a prompt from the generation AI saying, "Please turn the content of this picture into text," and converts the content of the picture into text. Furthermore, the generation unit can use its generation AI to recognize people and objects in a photograph and generate text based on that recognition. It can also use its generation AI to analyze background information in a photograph and generate text based on that analysis. For example, the generation unit can use its generation AI to analyze a child's facial expression in a photograph and generate text such as, "Today, [child's name] was playing in the sandbox. They seemed to be having a lot of fun." The generation unit can also use its generation AI to recognize playground equipment in a photograph and generate text such as, "Today, [child's name] was playing on the swing." The generation unit can also use its generation AI to analyze the weather in the background of a photograph and generate text such as, "It was sunny today, and [child's name] was playing outside." The input unit enters the text generated by the generation unit into the electronic communication log. For example, the input unit can automatically enter the generated text into the electronic communication log. Alternatively, the input unit can allow childcare workers to review the generated text, make necessary corrections, and then enter it into the electronic communication log. Furthermore, the input unit has a function to send the generated text to parents. For example, the input unit can automatically enter the generated text into the electronic communication log.Childcare workers can review the generated text, make corrections as needed, and then enter it into the electronic communication log. The entry section can also send the generated text to parents via email. As a result, the electronic communication log system for children according to this embodiment can reduce the burden on childcare workers and facilitate smooth communication with parents.
[0030] The photography team will photograph the children's activities. These activities may include, but are not limited to, playing, eating, or napping. The photography team may use smartphone cameras to photograph the children, digital cameras to take high-resolution photos, or video cameras to record videos. For example, they could use smartphone cameras to photograph children playing, digital cameras to photograph children eating, or video cameras to photograph children napping. The photography team will carefully consider camera position and angle to capture the children in a relaxed state, ensuring they are in a natural state. For example, they might place cameras in inconspicuous locations so the children are unaware of their presence. They will also photograph at appropriate times based on the children's activities. For example, photographing during playtime or mealtimes can capture natural expressions and movements. Furthermore, the camera unit instantly saves captured photos and videos as digital data, making them available for subsequent processing. This allows the camera unit to record the children's activities as high-quality digital data, enabling smoother processing in subsequent generation and data entry units.
[0031] The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze photos taken by the photography unit and translate the children's activities into text. For example, the generation unit's generation AI understands the content of the photo and converts what the children were doing, what expressions they were making, etc., into text. For example, the generation unit can receive a prompt such as "Please write text about the content of this photo" and convert the content of the photo into text. The generation unit can also have the generation AI recognize people and objects in the photo and generate text based on that. Furthermore, the generation unit can have the generation AI analyze background information in the photo and generate text based on that.

The translation function can also accommodate situations where childcare workers record information in a foreign language, with the AI translating that content into Japanese. Furthermore, the translation function can automatically translate according to the parent's preferred language. This enables multilingual support and facilitates smoother intercultural communication.
[0118] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also include a notification function. This function can notify parents of important information in real time. For example, it can immediately send notifications to parents if a child is injured or if an emergency contact is necessary. The notification function can also send periodic notifications at times requested by parents. Furthermore, the notification function can prioritize notifications for specific information that parents wish to receive. This facilitates smoother communication with parents and ensures that important information is conveyed quickly.
[0119] The electronic communication log system for preschool children can also be equipped with an emotion analysis unit. This unit can estimate the emotions parents feel when viewing the log and provide feedback based on those emotions. For example, if a parent is happy after viewing the log, the system can detect this emotion and provide positive feedback to the caregiver. Similarly, if a parent is feeling anxious, the system can detect this emotion and suggest additional explanations or support to the caregiver. This allows for responses tailored to the parents' emotions, leading to better communication.
[0120] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also include a health management section. This section can record the children's health status and provide this information to their parents. For example, it can record the children's body temperature, meals, and sleep duration, and a generating AI can analyze this data to assess their health. Furthermore, the health management section can receive questions from parents regarding their child's health, and the generating AI can provide appropriate answers. In addition, the health management section can send alerts to parents if any abnormalities are detected in the child's health. This allows for more effective health management of the children.
[0121] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also include a learning record section. This section can record the children's learning activities and provide this information to parents. For example, it can record what learning activities the children undertook and what results they achieved, and a generating AI can analyze this data to evaluate their learning progress. Furthermore, the learning record section can also provide appropriate answers to questions parents have about their child's learning. In addition, based on the children's learning activities, the learning record section can offer suggestions to parents for home learning support. This allows for more effective support of the children's learning activities.
[0122] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also be equipped with an emotion estimation unit. This unit can analyze a child's facial expressions and behavior to estimate their emotions. For example, if a child is smiling, the system can estimate that emotion as "joy" and provide this information to the parents. Similarly, if a child is crying, the system can estimate that emotion as "sadness" and provide this information to the parents. Furthermore, the emotion estimation unit can also suggest appropriate responses to childcare workers based on the child's emotions. This enables responses that are in line with the child's emotions, leading to better childcare.
[0123] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also be equipped with a behavior prediction unit. This unit analyzes past behavioral data of the children and predicts future behavior. For example, if a child tends to exhibit certain behaviors at specific times, the system can predict these behaviors and suggest appropriate responses to the caregivers in advance. The behavior prediction unit can also suggest methods for home care to parents based on the child's behavioral patterns. Furthermore, the behavior prediction unit can send alerts to caregivers and parents if any abnormalities are detected in the child's behavior. This enables appropriate responses to the children's behavior.
[0124] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also be equipped with an emotion-sharing function. This function allows caregivers and parents to share their feelings with each other. For example, caregivers can input the emotions they feel when recording a child's behavior into the system and communicate those emotions to the parents. Similarly, parents can input the emotions they feel when viewing the communication log and communicate those emotions to the caregivers. Furthermore, the emotion-sharing function enables better communication by allowing caregivers and parents to understand each other's feelings. This promotes the sharing of emotions between caregivers and parents and deepens their relationship of trust.
[0125] The electronic communication system for preschool children can also include an activity record section. This section can record the child's activities in detail and provide this information to parents. For example, it can record what kind of play the child engaged in and what actions the child took, and a generating AI can analyze this data to evaluate behavioral patterns. The activity record section can also provide appropriate answers to questions parents have about their child's behavior using the generating AI. Furthermore, based on the child's behavior, the activity record section can suggest ways for parents to handle the situation at home. This allows for a more detailed record of the child's activities and provides parents with appropriate information.
[0126] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0127] Step 1: The photography team will photograph the children.

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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.).
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the shooting unit, generation unit, entry unit, confirmation unit, album generation unit, and direct communication unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the shooting unit uses the camera 42 of the robot 414 to photograph the children. The generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where a generation AI analyzes the photos and generates text. The entry unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 as a processing unit that enters the generated text into an electronic communication notebook. The confirmation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 as a processing unit for childcare workers to confirm and correct the generated text. The album generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 as a processing unit that combines photos and text to create an album. The direct communication unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, as a processing unit that allows childcare workers to directly convey important information to parents. The correspondence between each unit and the devices or control units is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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."
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
