[0028] (Example of form 1) The drone network system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that solves the drone battery problem by effectively utilizing mobile phone base stations and constructs a nationwide drone network. The drone network system places drone ports within the premises of base stations deployed throughout the country. If a drone's battery runs low during flight, it will fly to its destination while charging via a drone port installed at a base station. At this time, it is necessary to manage the battery status and charging time of an unspecified number of drones and perform swarm control. Furthermore, a generative AI is incorporated to optimize the flight path by taking into account weather conditions and SNS information. The system manages the battery status of drones. If a drone's battery runs low during flight, it will land at a drone port installed at the nearest base station and charge. Once charging is complete, it will resume flight and fly to its destination. At this time, the generative AI monitors the drone's battery status in real time and creates an optimal charging schedule. The system optimizes the flight path in response to changes in weather conditions. The generative AI analyzes weather data and calculates the optimal flight path to avoid bad weather. For example, if bad weather such as strong winds or heavy rain is predicted, the generative AI will change the drone's flight path based on that information and select a safe route. The system avoids inappropriate routes based on SNS information. The generating AI analyzes information from social media and calculates flight paths that avoid inappropriate routes such as densely populated areas and disaster-stricken regions. For example, if disaster information is posted on social media, the generating AI will use that information to change the drone's flight path and select a safe route. It also controls the charging of multiple drones. The generating AI monitors the charging status of drone ports installed at base stations nationwide in real time and optimizes the charging schedule of multiple drones. This allows drones to charge efficiently and fly to their destinations. This solves the problem of drone battery issues and enables the construction of a nationwide drone network. For example, in drone delivery services, it can solve the problem of insufficient battery power when drones fly long distances, enabling efficient delivery. Furthermore, drones can be used for various purposes such as transporting supplies during disasters and delivering emergency medical supplies.This will enable the drone network system to solve the drone battery problem and build a nationwide drone network.
[0029] The drone network system according to this embodiment comprises a management unit, a scheduling unit, a charging unit, an optimization unit, and an analysis unit. The management unit manages the battery status of the drones. For example, the management unit monitors the remaining battery level of the drones and records the number of battery charge cycles. The management unit can also monitor the battery temperature and issue a warning if there is an abnormality. For example, if the drone's battery level drops, the management unit instructs it to land at a drone port installed at the nearest base station. The management unit can also recommend battery replacement if the number of battery charge cycles exceeds a certain number. Furthermore, if the battery temperature is abnormally high, the management unit can temporarily suspend the drone's flight and allow it to cool down. The scheduling unit creates a charging schedule based on the battery status managed by the management unit. For example, the scheduling unit determines the optimal charging timing by considering the drone's battery level and the number of charge cycles. The scheduling unit can also coordinate the charging schedules of multiple drones to achieve efficient charging. For example, if the drone's battery level drops, the scheduling unit instructs it to land at a drone port installed at the nearest base station and starts charging. The scheduling unit can also adjust charging schedules to minimize waiting times when multiple drones require charging simultaneously. Furthermore, the scheduling unit can set appropriate charging cycles to extend the drone's battery life. The charging unit charges the drones based on the charging schedule created by the scheduling unit. For example, the charging unit automatically starts charging when a drone lands at a drone port installed at a base station. The charging unit can also notify the drone when charging is complete and instruct it to resume flight. The charging unit can also monitor the battery temperature during charging and temporarily suspend charging if an abnormality is detected.Furthermore, the charging unit can check the drone's battery level when charging is complete and perform additional charging if necessary. The optimization unit analyzes weather data and calculates the optimal flight path to avoid bad weather. For example, the optimization unit collects weather data in real time and changes the drone's flight path if bad weather such as strong winds or heavy rain is predicted. The optimization unit can also adjust the drone's flight altitude and speed based on weather data. For example, the optimization unit collects weather data in real time and changes the drone's flight path to select a safe route if bad weather such as strong winds or heavy rain is predicted. The optimization unit can also optimize fuel consumption by adjusting the drone's flight altitude and speed based on weather data. Furthermore, the optimization unit can optimize the drone's flight time based on weather data to minimize battery consumption. The analysis unit analyzes information from social media and calculates a flight path to avoid inappropriate routes. For example, the analysis unit collects information from social media in real time and avoids inappropriate routes such as densely populated areas or disaster-prone areas. The analysis unit can also change the drone's flight path based on information from social media.

As a result, the drone network system according to this embodiment can efficiently manage the drone's battery, charge it, optimize its flight path, and avoid inappropriate routes.
[0030] The management department manages the drone's battery status. For example, it monitors the drone's battery level and records the number of battery charge cycles. Specifically, if the drone's battery level falls below a certain threshold, the management department automatically issues a warning and instructs the drone to land at the nearest base station's drone port. Also, if the number of battery charge cycles exceeds a certain number, the management department issues a notification recommending battery replacement. Furthermore, the management department monitors the battery temperature in real time, and if an abnormal temperature rise is detected, it instructs the drone to temporarily suspend flight and allow cooling. This prevents accidents caused by battery overheating. The management department records this information in a central database, centrally managing the drone's operational history and battery health. In addition, the management department coordinates the drone's battery status with other systems and departments to support efficient operation. For example, the management department can adjust the drone's flight schedule based on the battery status and suggest optimal operating methods to extend battery life. This allows the management department to efficiently and effectively manage the drone's battery, improving the overall reliability and safety of the system.

[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
