[0028] (Example of form 1) The care robot system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides emotional support to people who need care and realizes personalized care tailored to their specific needs. This system supports the user's emotions, provides care tailored to specific needs, incorporates an AI-based prediction and early detection system, and enables real-time collaboration with medical staff. It also adds customization functions to adapt the care robot to the home environment. For example, the care robot system analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their emotions. If the user is sad, the care robot can offer words of comfort. This allows the user to receive emotional support. Next, the care robot system learns the user's health condition and daily life patterns and provides optimal care based on that. For example, if the user needs to take medication at a specific time, the care robot can provide the medication at that time. This allows the user to receive care that is tailored to them. Furthermore, the care robot system collects the user's health data, and by having AI analyze it, it can predict changes in health condition and detect abnormalities early. For example, it can monitor changes in the user's body temperature and heart rate, and notify medical staff if an abnormality is detected. This allows for constant monitoring of the user's health condition and early response. Furthermore, the care robot system transmits the user's health data to medical staff in real time, allowing them to take appropriate action based on that data. For example, if the user's blood pressure suddenly rises, medical staff can immediately take countermeasures. This ensures the user receives prompt and appropriate medical care. Finally, the care robot system can adjust its operation to suit the user's home environment. For example, it can set a movement route that matches the layout of the user's home and the arrangement of furniture. This allows the care robot to adapt to the home environment and provide user-friendly care.The goal of this care robot system is to create a society where people who need care can live with peace of mind by providing emotional support, personalized care, AI-powered prediction and early detection, real-time collaboration with medical staff, and adaptation to the home environment.
[0029] The care robot system according to this embodiment comprises an emotion analysis unit, a care provision unit, a data collection unit, a prediction unit, a coordination unit, and a customization unit. The emotion analysis unit analyzes the user's emotions. The emotion analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their emotions. The emotion analysis unit, for example, uses facial recognition technology to analyze the user's facial expressions and estimate their emotions. The emotion analysis unit can also use voice analysis technology to analyze the user's tone of voice and estimate their emotions. The emotion analysis unit, for example, monitors changes in the user's facial expressions in real time and detects changes in their emotions. The care provision unit provides emotional support based on the emotions analyzed by the emotion analysis unit. For example, if the user is sad, the care provision unit offers words of comfort. The care provision unit can also provide reassuring information if the user is feeling anxious. For example, if the user is happy, the care provision unit shares that emotion and provides positive feedback. The data collection unit collects the user's health data. The data collection unit collects health data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The data collection unit collects the user's health data in real time, for example, using a wearable device. The data collection unit can also periodically collect the user's health data and store it in a database. The prediction unit analyzes the health data collected by the data collection unit and predicts changes in health status. The prediction unit analyzes health data using AI, for example, and detects abnormalities. The prediction unit analyzes health data using machine learning algorithms, for example, and predicts signs of abnormalities. The prediction unit can also analyze health data using deep learning technology to detect abnormalities early. The communication unit notifies medical staff of abnormalities predicted by the prediction unit. The communication unit notifies medical staff in real time when an abnormality is detected. The communication unit transmits the user's health data to medical staff to prompt appropriate action. The communication unit can also support communication with medical staff, enabling a rapid response. The customization unit performs customization to adapt to the user's home environment. The customization section adjusts the operation of the care robot to match, for example, the layout of the user's home and the arrangement of furniture.The customization unit, for example, sets a travel route based on the user's home environment. The customization unit can also customize the functions of the care robot to suit the user's home environment. As a result, the care robot system according to this embodiment can perform user emotion analysis, emotional support, health data collection, health status prediction, notification to medical staff, and adapt to the home environment.
[0030] The emotion analysis unit analyzes the user's emotions. For example, it analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone to understand their emotions. Specifically, it uses facial recognition technology to analyze the user's facial expressions and estimate their emotions. Facial recognition technology can detect feature points on the user's face and capture subtle changes in facial expression. For example, it analyzes eyebrow movements and the degree to which the corners of the mouth are turned up to determine whether the user is happy or sad. The emotion analysis unit can also use voice analysis technology to analyze the user's voice tone and estimate their emotions. Voice analysis technology analyzes voice features such as pitch, strength, and rhythm to estimate the user's emotional state. For example, if the voice is trembling, it is determined that the user is feeling anxious, and if the voice is bright and exhilarating, it is determined that the user is feeling happy. The emotion analysis unit combines these technologies to analyze the user's emotions from multiple angles and perform more accurate emotion estimation. Furthermore, the emotion analysis unit monitors changes in the user's facial expressions in real time and detects changes in emotions. For example, if the user suddenly changes their facial expression during a conversation, it immediately captures that change and analyzes the change in emotion. This allows the emotion analysis unit to constantly understand the user's emotional state and provide the basic information necessary to take appropriate action.
[0031] The caregiving department provides emotional support based on the emotions analyzed by the emotion analysis department. Specifically, if a user is sad, they offer words of comfort. For example, they might say, "It's okay, I'm here, so don't worry," to soothe the user's feelings. The caregiving department can also provide reassuring information if a user is feeling anxious. For example, they might say, "There's no problem with the current situation. It will be resolved soon, so please don't worry," to reduce the user's anxiety. Furthermore, if a user is happy, the caregiving department shares that emotion and provides positive feedback. For example, they might say, "That's wonderful! Let's celebrate together," to amplify the user's joy. Through this emotional support, the caregiving department can promote the user's mental stability and provide a better caregiving experience. In addition, based on data from the emotion analysis department, the caregiving department can automatically select and execute appropriate responses according to the user's emotional state. This allows the caregiving department to provide flexible responses that are attentive to the user's emotions and improve user satisfaction.
[0032] The data collection unit collects user health data. Specifically, it collects health data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The data collection unit collects user health data in real time, for example, using wearable devices. Wearable devices are attached to the user's wrist or chest and can continuously monitor data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. This allows the data collection unit to constantly understand the user's health status and respond immediately if an abnormality occurs. The data collection unit can also collect user health data periodically and store it in a database. For example, by collecting daily health data at regular intervals and storing it in the database, it is possible to track changes in health status over the long term. Furthermore, the data collection unit can link user health data with other systems and departments and share data as needed. For example, the collected health data can be made accessible to the prediction unit and the linkage unit to support early detection of abnormalities and rapid response. This allows the data collection unit to collect health data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0033] The prediction unit analyzes health data collected by the collection unit and predicts changes in health status. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze health data and detect anomalies. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to analyze health data and predict signs of anomalies. For example, by analyzing heart rate and blood pressure data and detecting unusual patterns, signs of anomalies can be detected early. The prediction unit can also use deep learning technology to analyze health data and detect anomalies early. Deep learning technology performs advanced analysis based on large amounts of data and can detect subtle signs of anomalies. As a result, the prediction unit can quickly and accurately analyze collected health data and predict changes in health status. Furthermore, the prediction unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to evaluate long-term health risks and perform trend analysis. For example, it can predict fluctuations in specific health risks based on historical health data and formulate future countermeasures. In addition, the prediction unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the prediction unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term health management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0034] The collaboration unit notifies medical staff of any abnormalities predicted by the prediction unit. Specifically, if an abnormality is detected, it notifies medical staff in real time. For example, if the user's heart rate suddenly increases, the collaboration unit immediately notifies medical staff to prompt appropriate action. The collaboration unit can also transmit the user's health data to medical staff, providing detailed information. This allows medical staff to accurately understand the user's health status and take prompt action. Furthermore, the collaboration unit supports communication with medical staff, enabling a rapid response. For example, if medical staff have questions about the user's health status, the collaboration unit provides answers to those questions, facilitating smooth communication. The collaboration unit can also quickly provide medical staff with the information they need, supporting appropriate action. In this way, the collaboration unit can strengthen collaboration with medical staff and effectively support the user's health management.
[0035] The customization unit performs customizations to adapt to the user's home environment. Specifically, it adjusts the operation of the care robot to match the layout of the user's home and the arrangement of furniture. For example, by scanning the user's home layout in advance and registering the furniture arrangement in a database, it sets a route that allows the care robot to move efficiently. The customization unit also sets movement routes based on the user's home environment. For example, it sets a route that avoids narrow passages and areas with steps, ensuring that the care robot can move safely. Furthermore, the customization unit can also customize the functions of the care robot to match the user's home environment. For example, if the user needs to perform a specific action in a specific location, that action can be programmed in advance, and the care robot can be set to perform that action automatically. In this way, the customization unit can realize the operation of the care robot optimized for the user's home environment and support the user's life. In addition, the customization unit can continuously improve the operation and functions of the care robot based on user feedback. For example, if the user is dissatisfied with a particular action, the action can be reviewed and improved based on that feedback. In this way, the customization unit can respond flexibly to the user's needs and improve the performance of the care robot.
[0036] The care delivery unit can learn the user's health condition and daily routines and provide personalized care based on that information.

Furthermore, the entertainment provision unit can analyze the user's past entertainment history and provide personalized content. This allows for entertainment tailored to the user's emotional state, improving their quality of life.
[0124] The care robot system can also be equipped with a feedback collection unit. This unit collects feedback from the user and uses it to improve the robot's operation. For example, if a user is dissatisfied with the robot's performance, this feedback can be collected and used to improve the system. The feedback collection unit can also adjust its feedback collection method based on the user's emotional state. For instance, if the user is relaxed, it can request more detailed feedback. This allows for improvements to the care robot that reflect the user's opinions.
[0125] The care robot system can also be equipped with a nutrition management unit. This unit manages the user's diet and optimizes nutritional balance. For example, if the user needs to consume a specific nutrient, the nutrition management unit can suggest a meal containing that nutrient. Furthermore, the nutrition management unit can adjust the meal content based on the user's health data. For instance, if blood sugar levels are high, it can suggest a low-carbohydrate meal. This enables appropriate nutritional management tailored to the user's health condition.
[0126] The care robot system can also be equipped with an exercise support unit. This unit supports the user's exercise habits and promotes health maintenance. For example, if the user is not getting enough exercise, the exercise support unit can suggest an appropriate exercise program. Furthermore, the exercise support unit can adjust the intensity and frequency of exercise based on the user's health data. For instance, if the user has a high heart rate, it can suggest light exercise. This enables appropriate exercise support tailored to the user's health condition.
[0127] The care robot system can also be equipped with a sleep management unit. This unit monitors the user's sleep patterns and supports high-quality sleep. For example, if the user suffers from insomnia, the sleep management unit can provide a relaxing environment. Furthermore, the sleep management unit can evaluate sleep quality based on the user's health data and suggest improvements. For instance, it can monitor heart rate and breathing patterns during sleep and notify medical staff if abnormalities are detected. This can improve the user's sleep quality.
[0128] The care robot system can also be equipped with an emergency response unit. This unit responds quickly to any abnormalities in the user's health. For example, if the user falls, the emergency response unit can immediately notify medical staff and prompt necessary action. Furthermore, the emergency response unit can adjust its response based on the user's emotional state. For instance, if the user is panicking, it can offer calming words. This enables a swift and appropriate response in emergencies.
[0129] The care robot system can also be equipped with a communication support unit. This unit assists with communication between the user and their family and friends. For example, if the user wants to have a video call with family members who live far away, the unit can help with the setup. Furthermore, the unit can adjust the communication method based on the user's emotional state. For instance, if the user is feeling lonely, it can encourage them to contact family members more frequently. This helps maintain the user's social connections and supports their mental health.
[0130] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0131] Step 1: The emotion analysis unit analyzes the user's emotions. For example, it analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice to understand their emotions. Using facial recognition technology and voice analysis technology, it monitors the user's facial expressions and tone of voice in real time and detects changes in their emotions. Step 2: The caregiving department provides emotional support based on the emotions analyzed by the emotion analysis department. For example, if the user is sad, they offer words of comfort; if they are anxious, they provide reassuring information; and if they are happy, they share that emotion and provide positive feedback. Step 3: The data collection unit collects the user's health data. For example, health data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature are collected in real time using a wearable device and periodically stored in a database. Step 4: The prediction unit analyzes the health data collected by the collection unit and predicts changes in health status. For example, it uses AI, machine learning algorithms, and deep learning technology to analyze the health data, predict signs of abnormalities, and detect them early. Step 5: The collaboration unit notifies medical staff of any anomalies predicted by the prediction unit. For example, if an anomaly is detected, it notifies medical staff in real time and sends the user's health data to prompt appropriate action. Step 6: The customization section performs customizations to adapt to the user's home environment. For example, it adjusts the operation of the care robot to match the layout of the user's house and the arrangement of furniture, sets the movement route, and customizes the functions of the care robot to suit the home environment.

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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.).
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the emotion analysis unit, care provision unit, collection unit, prediction unit, coordination unit, and customization unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the emotion analysis unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 to analyze the user's facial expressions and tone of voice, and the control unit 46A understands the emotions. The care provision unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and provides emotional support based on the results of the emotion analysis unit. The collection unit collects health data using the sensors of the robot 414 and transmits it to the data processing unit 12. The prediction unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and predicts changes in health status by analyzing the collected health data. The coordination unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and notifies medical staff of the predicted abnormalities. The customization unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and adjusts the operation of the care robot to suit the user's home environment. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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."
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
