[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.

Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The plant cultivation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for supporting plant cultivation. This plant cultivation support system comprises a pot equipped with sensors that detect temperature, humidity, mass, etc., an analysis unit that analyzes data collected by the sensors, a suggestion unit that proposes appropriate care timing and methods based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit, a feedback unit that provides visual feedback on the care methods proposed by the suggestion unit, a learning unit that learns from user feedback and improves the accuracy of suggestions, and a recommendation unit that recommends care tools and items as needed. For example, the plant cultivation support system installs sensors that detect temperature, humidity, mass, etc. in the pot in which the plant is grown and collects this data. Next, the generated AI analyzes the collected data to determine the growth rate and dryness of the plant. Furthermore, it proposes appropriate care timing and methods, taking into account information such as the user's schedule, the current season, weather, and the weather forecast for the coming days. In addition, the visual feedback function allows the user to understand the condition of the plant in real time on the app. For example, by taking pictures of changes in the color and shape of the plant's leaves with a camera and having the generated AI analyze the images, the plant's health can be diagnosed. Furthermore, if problems arise with plant growth, the generating AI diagnoses the symptoms and suggests solutions. The generating AI learns from user feedback and improves the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, by inputting feedback on the results of actual care performed by the user, the generating AI can learn from those results and incorporate them into future suggestions. Additionally, it can integrate with online stores to recommend care tools and items as needed, leading to purchases. For instance, it can suggest fertilizers and watering tools necessary for plant growth, making them easily accessible to users. This system creates a world where everyone can properly cultivate plants and find solace in their beauty and presence. Moreover, even difficult-to-care-for plants can be properly cared for with the support of the generating AI, enabling a society where people can easily enjoy a rich life surrounded by plants. In this way, the plant cultivation support system assists plant growth and suggests appropriate timing and methods for care, enabling anyone to properly cultivate plants.

[0029] The plant cultivation support system according to this embodiment comprises a sensor, an analysis unit, a suggestion unit, a feedback unit, a learning unit, and a recommendation unit. The sensor detects temperature, humidity, mass, etc. The sensor is installed, for example, in a pot to monitor the plant's growth environment. The sensor includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a mass sensor, etc. The temperature sensor measures, for example, the internal temperature of the pot. The humidity sensor measures, for example, the internal humidity of the pot. The mass sensor measures, for example, the mass of the pot and estimates the amount of moisture. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the sensor. The analysis unit analyzes the data using, for example, a generative AI to determine the plant's growth stage and dryness. The analysis unit takes, for example, temperature data, humidity data, and mass data as input and outputs the plant's growth status. The suggestion unit proposes appropriate care timing and methods based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit makes suggestions using, for example, a generative AI. The suggestion unit makes suggestions considering information such as the user's schedule, the current season, weather, and the weather forecast for the coming days. The suggestion unit takes user schedule data, seasonal data, weather data, and weather forecast data as input and outputs appropriate care methods. The feedback unit provides visual feedback on the care methods suggested by the suggestion unit. The feedback unit uses generative AI to provide feedback, for example. The feedback unit takes pictures of changes in the color and shape of plant leaves with a camera and analyzes the images. The feedback unit uses camera data as input and outputs the plant's health status, for example. The learning unit learns from user feedback to improve the accuracy of suggestions. The learning unit uses generative AI for learning, for example. The learning unit learns the results of the care actually performed by the user and reflects them in the next suggestion. The learning unit uses user feedback data as input and improves the accuracy of suggestions, for example. The recommendation unit recommends care tools and items as needed. The recommendation unit uses generative AI for recommendations, for example. The recommendation unit works with online stores to suggest necessary tools and items. The recommendation unit uses online store data as input and outputs recommended items, for example.This means that the plant cultivation support system assists in plant growth and suggests appropriate timing and methods for care, enabling anyone to properly grow plants.

[0030] Sensors detect temperature, humidity, mass, and other parameters. For example, sensors are installed in pots to monitor the plant's growing environment. Sensors include temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and mass sensors. A temperature sensor measures, for example, the internal temperature of the pot. A humidity sensor measures, for example, the internal humidity of the pot. A mass sensor measures, for example, the mass of the pot and estimates the water content. These sensors have wireless communication capabilities and can transmit collected data to a central database in real time. The temperature sensor can measure not only the internal temperature of the pot but also the external ambient temperature, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of temperature changes in the plant's environment. The humidity sensor can measure not only soil humidity but also the humidity of the surrounding air, enabling accurate determination of the plant's water needs. The mass sensor accurately measures changes in the pot's mass, allowing for estimation of water absorption and evaporation. This allows the sensor to comprehensively monitor the plant's growing environment and provide detailed data. Furthermore, the sensor has a periodic calibration function, enabling it to provide highly accurate data over long periods. This allows the sensor to accurately understand the plant's growth environment and provide fundamental data for appropriate cultivation support.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by sensors. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the data and determine the growth rate and dryness of plants. For example, the analysis unit takes temperature data, humidity data, and mass data as input and outputs the growth status of plants. The generative AI has learned from past data and growth patterns for each plant species, which enables it to determine the growth status of plants with high accuracy. Specifically, it determines whether plants are growing within an appropriate temperature range from temperature data and evaluates the dryness of the soil from humidity data. From mass data, it estimates the moisture content of the pot and confirms whether the plants are receiving sufficient moisture. Furthermore, the analysis unit can detect unusual data patterns using an anomaly detection algorithm and detect problems early. For example, if a sudden temperature change or a drop in humidity is detected, the analysis unit will immediately issue a warning and propose appropriate countermeasures. This allows the analysis unit to grasp the growth status of plants in real time and provide information for appropriate cultivation support. In addition, the analysis unit can perform trend analysis based on long-term data and predict plant growth patterns and environmental changes. This allows the analysis unit to play a crucial role in maintaining the health of plants and providing an optimal growing environment.

[0032] The suggestion unit proposes appropriate care timings and methods based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit makes suggestions using, for example, generative AI. The suggestion unit makes suggestions considering information such as the user's schedule, the current season, weather, and upcoming weather forecasts. For example, the suggestion unit takes user schedule data, seasonal data, weather data, and weather forecast data as input and outputs appropriate care methods. The generative AI comprehensively analyzes this data and proposes the optimal care timings and methods. For example, it considers the user's schedule and proposes care timings that avoid busy times, and suggests appropriate watering and fertilizing amounts according to the current season and weather. Furthermore, based on upcoming weather forecasts, it can suggest refraining from watering if rain is expected. This allows the suggestion unit to make flexible suggestions tailored to the user's lifestyle and environment. The suggestion unit can learn from the user's past care history and plant growth data, continuously improving the accuracy of its suggestions. This allows the suggestion unit to provide optimal cultivation support for the user and play an important role in maintaining the health of the plants.

[0033] The feedback unit provides visual feedback on the care methods proposed by the suggestion unit. The feedback unit provides feedback using, for example, generative AI. The feedback unit takes pictures of changes in the color and shape of the plant's leaves with a camera and analyzes the images. The feedback unit takes camera data as input and outputs the plant's health status. The generative AI uses image recognition technology to analyze changes in the color and shape of the plant's leaves and determines whether the plant is healthy. For example, if the leaves are turning yellow, it may be due to nutrient deficiency or overwatering, so appropriate measures are suggested. If the shape of the leaves is deformed, it may be due to pest or disease damage, so early countermeasures can be taken. In this way, the feedback unit can visually grasp the plant's health status and provide specific feedback to the user. Furthermore, the feedback unit can record the results of the care actually performed by the user and reflect them in the next suggestion. In this way, the feedback unit can play an important role in improving the user's plant care skills.

[0034] The learning unit learns from user feedback to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, the learning unit uses generative AI for learning. The learning unit learns the results of actual care performed by users and reflects this in future suggestions. For example, the learning unit uses user feedback data as input to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. The generative AI analyzes the results of care performed by users and plant growth data, learning successful and unsuccessful care methods. This allows the learning unit to provide optimal suggestions tailored to each user's characteristics and plant type. For example, it learns how a particular plant grows under specific environmental conditions and reflects this in future suggestions. This allows the learning unit to continuously improve the accuracy of its suggestions and provide optimal cultivation support for users. Furthermore, the learning unit can comprehensively analyze feedback from multiple users to find common patterns and trends. This allows the learning unit to provide highly accurate suggestions to a wider range of users.

[0035] The recommendation system recommends care tools and items as needed. For example, the recommendation system uses generative AI to make recommendations. It collaborates with online stores to suggest necessary tools and items. For example, it takes online store data as input and outputs recommended items. The generative AI analyzes the user's cultivation history and the current state of the plants to suggest the most suitable tools and items. For example, if a plant is nutrient-deficient, it suggests appropriate fertilizer; if there is pest or disease damage, it suggests effective pesticides. Furthermore, it can also suggest items appropriate for the season and weather. For example, in winter, it suggests insulating covers and heaters; in summer, it suggests shade nets and automatic watering systems. This allows the recommendation system to provide users with the tools and items they need at the right time, supporting the maintenance of plant health. Additionally, the recommendation system can provide more accurate recommendations based on the user's purchase history and ratings. This allows the recommendation system to provide users with optimal cultivation support and play a crucial role in maintaining the health of their plants.

[0036] The analysis unit can determine the growth rate and dryness of plants. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the growth rate based on factors such as the size of the plant's leaves, the thickness of its stems, and the number of flowers. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the dryness based on factors such as soil moisture and the degree of leaf wilting. For example, the analysis unit takes temperature data, humidity data, and mass data as input and outputs the plant's growth status. This allows for accurate determination of the plant's growth rate and dryness, enabling the suggestion of appropriate care methods.

[0037] The suggestion unit can make suggestions considering information such as the user's schedule, the current season, weather, and upcoming weather forecasts. For example, the suggestion unit takes user schedule data, seasonal data, weather data, and weather forecast data as input and outputs appropriate care methods. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest the timing of watering based on the user's schedule. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest the type of fertilizer based on the current season. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest care methods that take into account the amount of sunlight based on weather data. This allows the system to suggest the optimal care method tailored to the user's schedule and environment.

[0038] The feedback unit can capture images of changes in the color and shape of plant leaves using a camera and analyze those images. For example, the feedback unit takes camera data as input and outputs the plant's health status. For example, the feedback unit can analyze changes in leaf color to evaluate the plant's health status. For example, the feedback unit can analyze changes in leaf shape to evaluate the plant's health status. For example, the feedback unit can diagnose the plant's health status based on changes in leaf color and shape. This allows for a visual understanding of the plant's health status and provides appropriate feedback.

[0039] The learning unit can learn from the results of the user's actual care and reflect them in future suggestions. For example, the learning unit can take user feedback data as input to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, the learning unit can learn from the user's watering results and suggest the next watering timing. For example, the learning unit can learn from the user's fertilizer usage results and suggest the next type of fertilizer to use. For example, the learning unit can learn from the user's pruning results and suggest the next pruning method. In this way, the accuracy of suggestions improves by learning from user feedback.

[0040] The recommendation function can integrate with online stores to suggest necessary tools and items. For example, it can take online store data as input and output recommended items. For instance, it can suggest fertilizers needed for plant growth, watering tools, or pruning tools. This makes it easy for users to purchase necessary tools and items.

[0041] The sensor can be fitted with additional sensors to detect specific components depending on the type of plant. For example, a sensor can be added to detect the soil's pH value to maintain appropriate acidity. For example, sensors can be added to detect water clarity and oxygen concentration to provide an optimal environment. For example, sensors can be added to detect soil nutrients (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) to suggest appropriate fertilizers. This allows for the provision of an optimal environment tailored to the type of plant.

[0042] The sensor can transmit data to the cloud in real time, allowing for remote monitoring of plant conditions. For example, the sensor can monitor plant conditions in real time via a smartphone app. The sensor can be shared with family and friends, allowing multiple people to monitor plant conditions and provide necessary care. The sensor can also transmit data to experts, allowing for remote advice. This enables real-time monitoring of plant conditions even from a distance.

[0043] The sensor can integrate data with other smart home devices to optimize the overall indoor environment. For example, it can work with a smart thermostat to optimize room temperature. For example, it can work with a smart humidifier to optimize humidity. For example, it can work with smart lighting to provide the optimal light environment for plants. This optimizes the overall indoor environment and promotes plant growth.

[0044] The sensor can use the data to monitor external factors that affect plant growth. For example, the sensor can monitor indoor CO2 concentration and issue an alert to encourage ventilation. For example, if indoor CO2 concentration is low, the sensor can suggest a device to supply the CO2 necessary for plant growth. For example, the sensor can monitor indoor CO2 concentration and maintain an optimal environment for plant growth. This allows for the maintenance of an optimal environment by monitoring external factors that affect plant growth.

[0045] The analysis unit can analyze plant growth patterns over the long term and predict future growth. For example, the analysis unit can predict plant growth rates based on past data and estimate future growth. For example, the analysis unit can analyze seasonal growth patterns and predict the optimal growth period. For example, the analysis unit can analyze different growth patterns for each plant species and make individual growth predictions. In this way, by analyzing plant growth patterns, future growth can be predicted and appropriate care can be provided.

[0046] The analysis unit can evaluate the health of plants based on the analysis results and issue alerts if abnormalities are detected. For example, the analysis unit can analyze changes in leaf color and shape and issue alerts if abnormalities are detected. For example, the analysis unit can detect abnormalities in soil humidity and pH values ​​and issue alerts. For example, the analysis unit can detect rapid changes in temperature and humidity and issue alerts before they affect the health of plants. This allows for evaluation of plant health and rapid response if abnormalities are detected.

[0047] The analysis unit can compare analysis results with other users' data and provide benchmarks. For example, the analysis unit can compare the growth status of your plants with the growth data of other users to evaluate your own plant's growth. For example, the analysis unit can suggest optimal growth conditions based on other users' data. For example, the analysis unit can refer to the success stories of other users and suggest areas for improvement. This allows you to evaluate the growth status of your plants by comparing them with other users' data.

[0048] The analysis unit can use the analysis results to propose optimal environmental conditions for plant growth. For example, the analysis unit can suggest the optimal range of temperature and humidity to promote plant growth. For example, the analysis unit can suggest the optimal pH value and nutrient balance of the soil. For example, the analysis unit can suggest the optimal conditions for light intensity and irradiation time. In this way, by proposing the optimal environmental conditions for plant growth, it promotes growth.

[0049] The proposal department can suggest different care methods depending on the type of plant and its growth stage. For example, for succulents, the proposal department might suggest reducing the frequency of watering. For flowering plants, the proposal department might suggest fertilizers appropriate for the flowering season. For young plants, the proposal department might suggest special care to promote growth. This allows the department to suggest the optimal care method for each type of plant and its growth stage.

[0050] The proposal department can compare the proposed content with the user's past behavioral history to make the most appropriate suggestions. For example, the proposal department can make the most appropriate suggestions based on the user's past skincare routines. For example, the proposal department can suggest successful skincare routines based on the user's past behavioral history. For example, the proposal department can analyze the user's past behavioral history and suggest areas for improvement. In this way, the proposal department can make the most appropriate suggestions based on the user's past behavioral history.

[0051] The proposal department can compare the proposed content with the success stories of other users and provide reference information. For example, the proposal department can make optimal proposals based on the success stories of other users. For example, the proposal department can refer to the data of other users and propose areas for improvement. For example, the proposal department can analyze the success stories of other users and propose the optimal care methods. In this way, it is possible to make optimal proposals based on the success stories of other users.

[0052] The proposal department can customize the recommendations according to the season and provide optimal care methods. For example, in spring, the proposal department will suggest fertilizers to promote growth. In summer, for example, the proposal department will suggest watering frequency to prevent drying out. In winter, for example, the proposal department will suggest measures to protect plants from the cold. In this way, by providing optimal care methods for each season, the department promotes plant growth.

[0053] The feedback unit can visually display the plant's growth history using graphs and charts during feedback. For example, the feedback unit can display the plant's growth rate in a graph, allowing for a visual understanding of past growth patterns. For example, the feedback unit can display the plant's health status in a chart, identifying when abnormalities occurred. For example, the feedback unit can display the plant's watering and fertilization history in a graph, helping to determine the appropriate timing for care. This makes it easier to understand the plant's growth status by visually displaying its growth history.

[0054] The feedback unit can compare the feedback content with the user's past behavior and suggest areas for improvement. For example, the feedback unit can compare the user's past skincare methods with their current methods and suggest areas for improvement. For example, the feedback unit can suggest successful skincare methods based on the user's past behavioral history. For example, the feedback unit can analyze the user's past behavioral history and suggest the optimal care method. By comparing with the user's past behavior, it can suggest areas for improvement and provide better skincare methods.

[0055] The feedback unit can compare feedback content with other users' data and provide benchmarks.

[0157] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0158] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

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.

[0160] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0161] 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.

[0162] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including 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, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0163] 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.

[0164] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0165] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0166] 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.

[0167] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48.

In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.

[0170] 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 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.

[0171] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0172] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the sensor, analysis unit, proposal unit, feedback unit, learning unit, and recommendation unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12.

[0173] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0177] 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.

[0178] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.).

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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).

[0188] 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.

[0189] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the sensor, analysis unit, proposal unit, feedback unit, learning unit, and recommendation unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the sensor is installed on the robot 414 and detects temperature, humidity, mass, etc. The analysis unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the data collected from the sensor. The proposal unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes appropriate maintenance timing and methods based on the analyzed data. The feedback unit is implemented in, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides visual feedback on the proposed maintenance method. The learning unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns feedback from the user to improve the accuracy of the proposal. The recommendation unit is implemented in, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and recommends maintenance tools and items as needed. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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."

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.
