Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [[ID=D7]] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text).

The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] 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.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) An embodiment of the present invention provides a safety monitoring system in which sensors built into the bathtub monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement, and if an abnormality is detected, an alarm sounds or the user is woken up with vibration. The safety monitoring system monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement in real time using sensors built into the bathtub, and if an abnormality is detected, an alarm sounds or the user is woken up with vibration. Furthermore, if the user does not respond, safety measures are automatically taken. For example, the safety monitoring system may take measures such as automatically draining the water from the bathtub or sending a notification to an emergency contact. This mechanism can prevent accidents even if an elderly person falls asleep while bathing. Thus, the safety monitoring system can monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement, notify the user with an alarm or vibration if an abnormality is detected, and automatically take safety measures.

[0029] The safety monitoring system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, a detection unit, a notification unit, and a safety countermeasure unit. The monitoring unit monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement. The monitoring unit measures body temperature, for example, using a skin temperature sensor. The monitoring unit may also use a pulse oximeter to measure heart rate. Furthermore, the monitoring unit may monitor movement using an acceleration sensor. For example, the monitoring unit measures body temperature in real time using a skin temperature sensor and detects abnormal body temperature fluctuations. The monitoring unit may also measure heart rate in real time using a pulse oximeter and detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations. Furthermore, the monitoring unit may monitor movement in real time using an acceleration sensor and detect abnormal movement patterns. The detection unit detects abnormalities based on the data monitored by the monitoring unit. The detection unit may, for example, set a range for body temperature and detect an abnormality if it exceeds that range. The detection unit may also set a range for heart rate and detect an abnormality if it exceeds that range. Furthermore, the detection unit may analyze movement patterns and detect abnormal movement. For example, the detection unit detects an abnormality when the body temperature exceeds a set range. The detection unit can also detect an abnormality when the heart rate exceeds a set range. Furthermore, the detection unit can detect an abnormality when the movement pattern is abnormal. The notification unit sounds an alarm or wakes the user with vibration based on the abnormality detected by the detection unit. The notification unit can, for example, set the type and volume of sound and sound an alarm when an abnormality is detected. It can also set the strength and pattern of vibration and wake the user with vibration when an abnormality is detected. For example, the notification unit sounds an alarm and notifies the user when an abnormality is detected. It can also wake the user with vibration when an abnormality is detected. Furthermore, the notification unit can combine alarms and vibrations in its notification. The safety measures unit automatically takes safety measures if the user does not respond to the notification unit. For example, the safety measures unit automatically drains the bathtub water. The safety measures unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts. Furthermore, the safety measures unit can contact medical institutions.For example, the safety unit automatically drains the bathtub water if the user does not respond. The safety unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts to encourage a quick response. Furthermore, the safety unit can contact medical institutions to ensure appropriate medical care. As a result, the safety monitoring system according to this embodiment can monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement, and if an abnormality is detected, it can notify with an alarm or vibration and automatically take safety measures.

[0030] The monitoring unit monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement. For example, the monitoring unit measures body temperature using a skin temperature sensor. Specifically, the skin temperature sensor can measure body temperature in real time by directly contacting the user's skin. This sensor is sensitive to even minute temperature changes and can immediately detect rapid increases or decreases in body temperature. The monitoring unit can also use a pulse oximeter to measure heart rate. A pulse oximeter is attached to a fingertip or earlobe and measures blood oxygen saturation and heart rate by transmitting light. This device can monitor heart rate fluctuations in real time and detect abnormal patterns. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can also monitor movement using an accelerometer. The accelerometer captures the user's movement in three dimensions and detects abnormal actions such as falls or sudden movements. For example, the monitoring unit can measure body temperature in real time using a skin temperature sensor and detect abnormal body temperature fluctuations. It can also measure heart rate in real time using a pulse oximeter and detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can use an acceleration sensor to monitor movement in real time and detect abnormal movement patterns. This allows the monitoring unit to comprehensively monitor the user's health status and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs.

[0031] The detection unit detects abnormalities based on data monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the detection unit sets a range for body temperature and detects an abnormality if the temperature exceeds that range. Specifically, the detection unit pre-sets a normal body temperature range for the user and issues an alert if the temperature exceeds this range. The detection unit can also set a range for heart rate and detect an abnormality if the temperature exceeds that range. Similarly, a normal range is set for heart rate, and an abnormality is detected if the heart rate deviates from this range. Furthermore, the detection unit can analyze movement patterns and detect abnormal movements. For example, the detection unit detects an abnormality if the body temperature exceeds a set range. The detection unit can also detect an abnormality if the heart rate exceeds a set range. In addition, the detection unit can detect abnormalities if the movement pattern is abnormal. Regarding movement patterns, it detects sudden movements or falls that differ from normal movements and recognizes them as abnormalities. As a result, the detection unit can quickly and accurately detect abnormalities related to the user's health condition and prompt appropriate action.

[0032] The notification unit sounds an alarm or wakes the user with vibration based on anomalies detected by the detection unit. For example, the notification unit sets the type and volume of sound and sounds an alarm when an anomaly is detected. Specifically, the notification unit sets different types and volumes of sound depending on the type and urgency of the anomaly to issue an appropriate warning to the user. The notification unit can also set the strength and pattern of vibration and wake the user with vibration when an anomaly is detected. For example, the notification unit sounds an alarm to notify the user when an anomaly is detected. The notification unit can also wake the user with vibration when an anomaly is detected. Furthermore, the notification unit can combine alarms and vibrations in its notification. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably inform the user of an anomaly and encourage appropriate action. In addition, the notification unit can monitor the user's response and adjust the notification method as needed. For example, if the user does not respond to the alarm, it may increase the intensity of the vibration. This allows the notification unit to reliably inform the user of an anomaly and encourage a quick response.

[0033] The safety measures unit automatically takes safety measures if the user does not respond to the notification unit. For example, the safety measures unit automatically drains the bathtub. Specifically, if the user does not respond, the safety measures unit automatically opens the bathtub drain valve and drains the water to avoid the risk of drowning. The safety measures unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts. Emergency contacts include family, friends, and caregivers, and notifications are sent to encourage a quick response. Furthermore, the safety measures unit can also contact medical institutions. For example, if the user does not respond, the safety measures unit automatically drains the bathtub. The safety measures unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts to encourage a quick response. Furthermore, the safety measures unit can contact medical institutions to ensure appropriate medical care. In this way, the safety measures unit can automatically implement safety measures and ensure user safety even if the user does not respond. In addition, the safety measures unit can monitor the operation of the entire system and respond quickly if an anomaly occurs. For example, even if a part of the system fails, it is designed so that other parts continue to operate normally. In this way, the safety measures unit can ensure user safety and improve the reliability of the entire system.

[0034] The monitoring unit can monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement in real time. For example, the monitoring unit can measure body temperature in real time using a skin temperature sensor. The monitoring unit can also measure heart rate in real time using a pulse oximeter. The monitoring unit can also monitor movement in real time using an accelerometer. This allows for early detection of abnormalities by monitoring body temperature, heart rate, and movement in real time. Real-time monitoring is performed based on the data update frequency and delay time. For example, the monitoring unit can achieve real-time monitoring by updating data every second and minimizing the delay time. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data acquired in real time into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform abnormality detection.

[0035] The detection unit can detect anomalies based on data monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the detection unit can set a range for body temperature and detect an anomaly if it exceeds that range. The detection unit can also set a range for heart rate and detect an anomaly if it exceeds that range. The detection unit can also analyze movement patterns and detect abnormal movements. This enables a rapid response by detecting anomalies based on monitored data. The definition and criteria for anomalies are set based on body temperature, heart rate, and movement ranges and patterns. For example, the detection unit detects an anomaly if the body temperature exceeds the range of 36.5 to 37.5 degrees Celsius. The detection unit can also detect an anomaly if the heart rate exceeds the range of 60 to 100 beats per minute. The detection unit can also detect an anomaly if the movement pattern exceeds the normal range. Some or all of the above processing in the detection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the detection unit can input data acquired by the monitoring unit into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform anomaly detection.

[0036] The notification unit can sound an alarm or wake the user with vibration based on an anomaly detected by the detection unit. For example, the notification unit can set the type and volume of sound and sound an alarm when an anomaly is detected. The notification unit can also set the strength and pattern of vibration and wake the user with vibration when an anomaly is detected. This allows the user to be quickly notified when an anomaly is detected. Alarm and vibration settings are based on the type of sound, volume, duration, vibration strength, pattern, and duration. For example, the notification unit can sound a high-pitched alarm to notify the user when an anomaly is detected. The notification unit can also wake the user with strong vibration when an anomaly is detected. The notification unit can also combine alarm and vibration for notification. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the notification unit can input the anomaly detected by the detection unit into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the optimal notification method.

[0037] The safety measures unit can automatically take safety measures if the user does not respond to the notification unit. For example, the safety measures unit can automatically drain the water from the bathtub. The safety measures unit can also send a notification to an emergency contact. The safety measures unit can also contact a medical institution. This allows accidents to be prevented by automatically taking safety measures even if the user does not respond. The content and method of safety measures are set based on emergency contact, draining, contacting a medical institution, etc. For example, the safety measures unit can automatically drain the water from the bathtub if the user does not respond. The safety measures unit can also send a notification to an emergency contact to encourage a quick response. The safety measures unit can also contact a medical institution to ensure appropriate medical care. Some or all of the above processes in the safety measures unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the safety measures unit can input information into a generating AI when the user does not respond, and have the generating AI execute the optimal safety measures.

[0038] The safety unit can automatically drain the water from the bathtub. For example, the safety unit can set the drainage speed and start conditions, and automatically drain the water from the bathtub if an abnormality is detected. The safety unit can also adjust the drainage speed to drain the water quickly. The safety unit can also set drainage start conditions and automatically start draining when an abnormality is detected. This reduces the risk of drowning by automatically draining the water from the bathtub. The drainage method and standards are set based on the drainage speed and drainage start conditions. For example, the safety unit can set the drainage speed to the maximum when an abnormality is detected to drain the water quickly. The safety unit can also set conditions to automatically start draining when an abnormality is detected. Some or all of the above processing in the safety unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the safety unit can input the detected abnormality into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the drainage start.

[0039] The Security Measures Department can send notifications to emergency contacts. The Security Measures Department can, for example, set up emergency contact information and automatically send notifications when an anomaly is detected. The Security Measures Department can also, for example, make phone calls to emergency contacts. The Security Measures Department can also, for example, send emails to emergency contacts. This allows for a quick response by sending notifications to emergency contacts. The definition and criteria for emergency contacts are set based on family, medical institutions, police, etc. For example, the Security Measures Department will call family members when an anomaly is detected. The Security Measures Department can also, for example, send emails to medical institutions when an anomaly is detected. The Security Measures Department can also, for example, send notifications to the police when an anomaly is detected. Some or all of the above processes in the Security Measures Department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, when an anomaly is detected, the Security Measures Department can input it into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute a notification to emergency contacts.

[0040] The monitoring unit can detect abnormalities early by referring to the user's past health data during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit can refer to the user's past body temperature data to detect abnormal body temperature fluctuations early. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past heart rate data to detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations early. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past movement data to detect abnormal movement patterns early. This makes it possible to detect abnormalities early by referring to past health data.

The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past heart rate data to detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations early. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past movement data to detect abnormal movement patterns early. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the user's past health data into a generating AI, allowing the AI ​​to perform early detection of abnormalities.

[0041] The monitoring unit can improve the accuracy of monitoring by considering the user's bathing history during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit can refer to the user's past bathing time to detect abnormally long bathing sessions early. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past bathing frequency to detect abnormal fluctuations in frequency early. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past bathing temperature to detect abnormal temperature fluctuations early. This improves the accuracy of monitoring by considering the bathing history.

The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past bathing frequency to detect abnormal fluctuations in frequency early. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's past bathing temperature to detect abnormal temperature fluctuations early. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input user bathing history data into a generating AI, which can then perform tasks to improve the accuracy of the monitoring.

[0042] The monitoring unit can determine monitoring priorities by referring to the user's lifestyle data during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit can refer to the user's sleep data and prioritize monitoring heart rate if the user is sleep-deprived. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's diet data and prioritize monitoring body temperature after meals. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's exercise data and prioritize monitoring heart rate after exercise. This allows for appropriate determination of monitoring priorities by referring to lifestyle data. The types and methods of referencing lifestyle data are set based on diet, exercise, sleep, etc. For example, the monitoring unit can refer to the user's sleep data and prioritize monitoring heart rate if the user is sleep-deprived. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's diet data and prioritize monitoring body temperature after meals. The monitoring unit can also refer to the user's exercise data and prioritize monitoring heart rate after exercise.

[0044] The detection unit can improve detection accuracy by referring to the user's past abnormal data when detection occurs. For example, the detection unit can refer to the user's past abnormal body temperature data to detect abnormal body temperature fluctuations early. The detection unit can also refer to the user's past abnormal heart rate data to detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations early. The detection unit can also refer to the user's past abnormal movement data to detect abnormal movement patterns early. This improves detection accuracy by referring to past abnormal data.

[0045] The detection unit can optimize the anomaly detection algorithm based on the user's age and gender when detection occurs. For example, the detection unit can set criteria for abnormal body temperature fluctuations based on the user's age. The detection unit can also set criteria for abnormal heart rate based on the user's gender. The detection unit can also set criteria for abnormal movement based on the user's age and gender. This allows for more accurate anomaly detection by optimizing the anomaly detection algorithm based on age and gender. The age and gender ranges and criteria are set based on categories such as children, adults, the elderly, males, females, and others. For example, the detection unit can set criteria for abnormal body temperature fluctuations based on the user's age. The detection unit can also set criteria for abnormal heart rate based on the user's gender. The detection unit can also set criteria for abnormal movement based on the user's age and gender. Some or all of the above processing in the detection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the detection unit can input the user's age and gender data into a generating AI and have the generating AI optimize the anomaly detection algorithm.

[0064] (Example of form 2) An embodiment of the present invention provides a safety monitoring system in which sensors built into the bathtub monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement, and if an abnormality is detected, an alarm sounds or the user is woken up with vibration. The safety monitoring system monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement in real time using sensors built into the bathtub, and if an abnormality is detected, an alarm sounds or the user is woken up with vibration. Furthermore, if the user does not respond, safety measures are automatically taken. For example, the safety monitoring system may take measures such as automatically draining the water from the bathtub or sending a notification to an emergency contact. This mechanism can prevent accidents even if an elderly person falls asleep while bathing. Thus, the safety monitoring system can monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement, notify the user with an alarm or vibration if an abnormality is detected, and automatically take safety measures.

[0065] The safety monitoring system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, a detection unit, a notification unit, and a safety countermeasure unit. The monitoring unit monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement. The monitoring unit measures body temperature, for example, using a skin temperature sensor. The monitoring unit may also use a pulse oximeter to measure heart rate. Furthermore, the monitoring unit may monitor movement using an acceleration sensor. For example, the monitoring unit measures body temperature in real time using a skin temperature sensor and detects abnormal body temperature fluctuations. The monitoring unit may also measure heart rate in real time using a pulse oximeter and detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations. Furthermore, the monitoring unit may monitor movement in real time using an acceleration sensor and detect abnormal movement patterns. The detection unit detects abnormalities based on the data monitored by the monitoring unit. The detection unit may, for example, set a range for body temperature and detect an abnormality if it exceeds that range. The detection unit may also set a range for heart rate and detect an abnormality if it exceeds that range. Furthermore, the detection unit may analyze movement patterns and detect abnormal movement. For example, the detection unit detects an abnormality when the body temperature exceeds a set range. The detection unit can also detect an abnormality when the heart rate exceeds a set range. Furthermore, the detection unit can detect an abnormality when the movement pattern is abnormal.

The safety measures unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts. Furthermore, the safety measures unit can contact medical institutions.For example, the safety unit automatically drains the bathtub water if the user does not respond. The safety unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts to encourage a quick response. Furthermore, the safety unit can contact medical institutions to ensure appropriate medical care. As a result, the safety monitoring system according to this embodiment can monitor body temperature, heart rate, and movement, and if an abnormality is detected, it can notify with an alarm or vibration and automatically take safety measures.

[0066] The monitoring unit monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement. For example, the monitoring unit measures body temperature using a skin temperature sensor. Specifically, the skin temperature sensor can measure body temperature in real time by directly contacting the user's skin. This sensor is sensitive to even minute temperature changes and can immediately detect rapid increases or decreases in body temperature. The monitoring unit can also use a pulse oximeter to measure heart rate. A pulse oximeter is attached to a fingertip or earlobe and measures blood oxygen saturation and heart rate by transmitting light. This device can monitor heart rate fluctuations in real time and detect abnormal patterns. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can also monitor movement using an accelerometer. The accelerometer captures the user's movement in three dimensions and detects abnormal actions such as falls or sudden movements. For example, the monitoring unit can measure body temperature in real time using a skin temperature sensor and detect abnormal body temperature fluctuations. It can also measure heart rate in real time using a pulse oximeter and detect abnormal heart rate fluctuations. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can use an acceleration sensor to monitor movement in real time and detect abnormal movement patterns. This allows the monitoring unit to comprehensively monitor the user's health status and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs.

[0067] The detection unit detects abnormalities based on data monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the detection unit sets a range for body temperature and detects an abnormality if the temperature exceeds that range. Specifically, the detection unit pre-sets a normal body temperature range for the user and issues an alert if the temperature exceeds this range. The detection unit can also set a range for heart rate and detect an abnormality if the temperature exceeds that range. Similarly, a normal range is set for heart rate, and an abnormality is detected if the heart rate deviates from this range. Furthermore, the detection unit can analyze movement patterns and detect abnormal movements. For example, the detection unit detects an abnormality if the body temperature exceeds a set range. The detection unit can also detect an abnormality if the heart rate exceeds a set range. In addition, the detection unit can detect abnormalities if the movement pattern is abnormal. Regarding movement patterns, it detects sudden movements or falls that differ from normal movements and recognizes them as abnormalities. As a result, the detection unit can quickly and accurately detect abnormalities related to the user's health condition and prompt appropriate action.

[0068] The notification unit sounds an alarm or wakes the user with vibration based on anomalies detected by the detection unit. For example, the notification unit sets the type and volume of sound and sounds an alarm when an anomaly is detected. Specifically, the notification unit sets different types and volumes of sound depending on the type and urgency of the anomaly to issue an appropriate warning to the user. The notification unit can also set the strength and pattern of vibration and wake the user with vibration when an anomaly is detected. For example, the notification unit sounds an alarm to notify the user when an anomaly is detected. The notification unit can also wake the user with vibration when an anomaly is detected. Furthermore, the notification unit can combine alarms and vibrations in its notification. This allows the notification unit to quickly and reliably inform the user of an anomaly and encourage appropriate action. In addition, the notification unit can monitor the user's response and adjust the notification method as needed. For example, if the user does not respond to the alarm, it may increase the intensity of the vibration. This allows the notification unit to reliably inform the user of an anomaly and encourage a quick response.

[0069] The safety measures unit automatically takes safety measures if the user does not respond to the notification unit. For example, the safety measures unit automatically drains the bathtub. Specifically, if the user does not respond, the safety measures unit automatically opens the bathtub drain valve and drains the water to avoid the risk of drowning. The safety measures unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts. Emergency contacts include family, friends, and caregivers, and notifications are sent to encourage a quick response. Furthermore, the safety measures unit can also contact medical institutions. For example, if the user does not respond, the safety measures unit automatically drains the bathtub. The safety measures unit can also send notifications to emergency contacts to encourage a quick response. Furthermore, the safety measures unit can contact medical institutions to ensure appropriate medical care. In this way, the safety measures unit can automatically implement safety measures and ensure user safety even if the user does not respond. In addition, the safety measures unit can monitor the operation of the entire system and respond quickly if an anomaly occurs. For example, even if a part of the system fails, it is designed so that other parts continue to operate normally. In this way, the safety measures unit can ensure user safety and improve the reliability of the entire system.

[0117] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.

[0118] As shown in Figure 3, the data processing system 210 includes a data processing device 12 and smart glasses 214. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0119] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0121] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0123] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0124] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0128] 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.

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.).

[0129] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.

[0130] 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 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.

[0149] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0150] 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.

[0151] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0156] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0157] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.).

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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).

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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, detection unit, notification unit, and safety measures unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit monitors body temperature, heart rate, and movement in real time using the robot 414's skin temperature sensor, pulse oximeter, and acceleration sensor. The detection unit analyzes the monitoring data using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and detects abnormalities. The notification unit notifies the user with an alarm or vibration using the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The safety measures unit automatically drains the bathtub water or sends a notification to an emergency contact using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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."

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.
