[0028] (Example of form 1) The insect repellent suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that suggests optimal insect repellent items and measures based on the user's house layout, family structure, and lifestyle. This insect repellent suggestion system collects information such as the user's house layout, family structure, lifestyle, preferences, and daily habits, and suggests optimal insect repellent items and measures. Furthermore, it works in conjunction with IoT devices to analyze the living patterns and insect appearance patterns of the entire house, minimizing the user's trouble with insects. It also suggests optimal insect repellent measures from photos of the house and blueprints uploaded by the user, and unifies the effectiveness of insect repellent measures learned from other users with similar information, such as the user's lifestyle and house layout, and suggests optimal insect repellent measures based on this. For example, the insect repellent suggestion system collects information through questionnaires regarding the user's house layout, family structure, and lifestyle. This information is input into the insect repellent suggestion system. Next, the insect repellent suggestion system suggests optimal insect repellent items and measures based on the collected information. For example, it suggests which insect repellent items would be most effective in which rooms, depending on the house layout and family structure. Furthermore, the system suggests the most effective timing for implementing pest control measures based on lifestyle and preferences. The pest control suggestion system also uses IoT devices to monitor temperature, humidity, and light conditions inside the home, analyzing insect appearance patterns. Based on this analysis, it proposes the optimal pest control measures. The system also analyzes user-uploaded photos and blueprints of the house to suggest the most suitable measures. For example, a user can upload photos and blueprints of their house to the system, which then analyzes them and proposes the optimal measures. Additionally, the system integrates information such as the user's lifestyle and house layout with the effectiveness of pest control measures learned from other users with similar information, and proposes the most suitable measures based on this integration. This allows the system to create a living environment where users can live comfortably without being troubled by insects. For example, by suggesting optimal pest control items and measures tailored to the house layout and lifestyle, the system minimizes insect appearances and creates a comfortable living environment.Furthermore, the pest control suggestion system can implement more effective pest control measures by working in conjunction with IoT devices to analyze the lifestyle patterns and insect appearance patterns of the entire house. In addition, the pest control suggestion system provides customized pest control measures tailored to the user's lifestyle and house layout by suggesting the optimal pest control measures based on photos and blueprints of the house uploaded by the user. As a result, the pest control suggestion system can propose the most suitable pest control measures based on the user's house information, minimizing insect appearances.

[0029] The insect control suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a suggestion unit, a coordination unit, and an analysis unit. The collection unit collects information such as the user's house layout, family structure, lifestyle, preferences, and daily habits. The collection unit collects information, for example, through questionnaires regarding the house layout, family structure, and lifestyle. The suggestion unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and proposes the most suitable insect control items and measures. For example, the suggestion unit suggests which insect control items should be placed in which rooms to be most effective, depending on the house layout and family structure. The suggestion unit also suggests when it would be most effective to implement insect control measures, depending on the lifestyle and preferences. The coordination unit works in conjunction with IoT devices to analyze the living patterns and insect appearance patterns of the entire house. For example, the coordination unit uses IoT devices to monitor the temperature, humidity, and light conditions inside the house and analyzes the insect appearance patterns. The analysis unit analyzes photos and blueprints of the house uploaded by the user and proposes the most suitable insect control measures. The analysis unit uploads, for example, photos or blueprints of the house to the system, which then analyzes them and proposes the optimal pest control measures. As a result, the pest control proposal system according to this embodiment can propose the optimal pest control measures based on the user's house information, minimizing the appearance of insects.

[0030] The data collection unit collects information such as the user's home layout, family structure, lifestyle, preferences, and daily habits. Specifically, the unit provides users with detailed questionnaires to collect information on the home layout, family structure, and lifestyle. For example, the home layout is a detailed drawing showing the arrangement and size of each room, the location of windows and doors, etc., allowing for an accurate understanding of the house's structure. Regarding family structure, information such as the number and ages of people living in the house, and whether or not they have pets is collected. Regarding lifestyle, information such as family members' wake-up and bedtime, meal times, and frequency of going out is collected. Furthermore, information on preferences and daily habits is also collected, such as scents that family members like and dislike, cleaning frequency and methods, and how often windows are opened and closed. This information is provided by users by entering it into online forms or through a dedicated application. The data collection unit centrally manages this information and stores it in a database. The collected information is used for subsequent analysis and recommendations, so accurate and detailed information is required. The data collection unit takes security measures such as data encryption and access restrictions to protect user privacy. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and securely collect information about the user's home, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the system.

[0031] The Proposal Department analyzes the information collected by the Data Collection Department and proposes the most suitable insect repellent items and measures. Specifically, the Proposal Department suggests which insect repellent items should be placed in which rooms for optimal effect, based on the house layout and family structure. For example, it might suggest placing insect repellent spray in the living room, insect nets in the bedroom, and insect repellent sheets in the kitchen. The Proposal Department also suggests the most effective timing for implementing insect repellent measures, based on lifestyle and preferences. For example, it might suggest using insect repellent spray when family members are out, or installing insect nets when windows are open. The Proposal Department uses AI to analyze the collected information and automatically generate optimal insect repellent measures. The AI ​​learns effective insect repellent measures based on past data and statistical information, and provides customized suggestions for each user. Furthermore, the Proposal Department collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, by providing feedback on the results of users implementing the suggested insect repellent measures, the AI ​​can continue to learn from this data, enabling more effective suggestions. This allows the proposal department to provide optimal pest control measures tailored to the user's needs, minimizing the appearance of insects.

[0032] The integrated system works in conjunction with IoT devices to analyze the lifestyle patterns and insect appearance patterns of the entire house. Specifically, the integrated system uses IoT devices such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, and light sensors installed in the house to monitor environmental data in real time. For example, temperature sensors measure the temperature of each room in the house, humidity sensors measure humidity, and light sensors measure the brightness of the room and the amount of sunlight entering. This data is collected by the integrated system and used to analyze insect appearance patterns. The integrated system uses AI to analyze this data and identify insect appearance patterns. For example, if it is found that specific temperature, humidity, or light conditions affect insect appearance, it can propose insect control measures based on those conditions. Furthermore, the integrated system analyzes the lifestyle patterns within the house and identifies times and locations with a high risk of insect appearance. For example, if it is found that insects are more likely to appear during meal times or when the family is in the bedroom, it can propose implementing insect control measures to coincide with those times. In this way, the integrated system can work in conjunction with IoT devices to analyze environmental data of the entire house and provide effective insect control measures to minimize the risk of insect appearance.

[0033] The analysis unit analyzes photos and blueprints of homes uploaded by users to propose optimal pest control measures. Specifically, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze photos and blueprints of homes uploaded by users to the system. The AI ​​uses image recognition technology to analyze the structure and layout of the house, identifying places where insects are likely to enter and where pest control items should be placed. For example, it analyzes the location of windows and doors, the location of vents, and the arrangement of furniture to identify routes through which insects are likely to enter. Furthermore, by analyzing the blueprint, it can gain a detailed understanding of the house's structure and layout and propose optimal pest control measures. Based on this information, the analysis unit proposes specific pest control measures to the user. For example, it may suggest installing insect nets around windows and doors, or attaching insect filters to vents. In addition, the analysis unit collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, by providing feedback on the results of users implementing the proposed pest control measures, the AI ​​can continue to learn from this data, enabling more effective suggestions. As a result, the analysis unit can propose optimal pest control measures based on the user's home information, minimizing insect infestations.

[0034] The data collection unit can collect information such as house floor plans, family structure, and lifestyle. For example, the data collection unit can collect house floor plans and obtain information such as the number, arrangement, and size of rooms. It can also collect information on family structure and obtain information such as the number of family members, their ages, and genders. Furthermore, it can collect information on lifestyle and obtain information such as daily activity patterns, hobbies, and work hours. By collecting information on house floor plans, family structure, and lifestyle, it is possible to propose more accurate pest control measures. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input house floor plans into AI and have the AI ​​analyze information such as the number, arrangement, and size of rooms.

[0035] The suggestion unit can suggest which insect repellent items would be most effective in which rooms based on the collected information.

It could also suggest placing insect nets in the bedroom. Furthermore, it could suggest placing insect traps in the kitchen. This allows the suggestion unit to suggest the most effective placement of insect repellent items based on the collected information. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the suggestion unit could input the collected information into an AI and have the AI ​​suggest the optimal placement of insect repellent items.

[0036] The suggestion function can propose the most effective timing for implementing pest control measures based on the user's lifestyle and preferences. For example, if the user is active at night, the suggestion function might suggest using insect repellent spray at night. If the user is active during the day, the suggestion function might suggest installing insect nets during the day. Furthermore, if the user cleans on weekends, the suggestion function might suggest installing insect traps on weekends. This allows for the suggestion of pest control measures at a time that suits the user's lifestyle and preferences. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion function may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the suggestion function could input information about the user's lifestyle and preferences into the AI ​​and have the AI ​​suggest the optimal timing for pest control measures.

[0037] The integrated unit can use IoT devices to monitor temperature, humidity, and light conditions inside a house and analyze insect appearance patterns. For example, the integrated unit can use IoT devices to monitor the temperature inside the house and analyze that insect appearances increase when the temperature is high. It can also monitor humidity and analyze that insect appearances increase when the humidity is high. Furthermore, it can monitor light conditions and analyze how the intensity and type of light affect insect appearances.

For example, the integrated unit can input data acquired from IoT devices into AI and have the AI ​​perform the analysis of insect appearance patterns.

[0038] The analysis unit can analyze photos of a house and blueprints to propose the optimal pest control measures. For example, the analysis unit can upload photos of a house to the system, which will then analyze them and propose the optimal pest control measures. It can also upload blueprints to the system, which will then analyze them and propose the optimal pest control measures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can combine and analyze photos of the house and blueprints to propose even more accurate pest control measures. This allows the system to propose the optimal pest control measures by analyzing photos of the house and blueprints. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input photos of the house and blueprints into an AI and have the AI ​​propose the optimal pest control measures.

[0039] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past pest control history and select the optimal information collection method. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the effectiveness of pest control items the user has used in the past and prioritize collecting information on items that were highly effective. The data collection unit can also analyze the timing of pest control measures the user has implemented in the past and collect information at the optimal time. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect information on effective pest control measures based on the success rate of pest control measures the user has tried in the past. In this way, the optimal information collection method can be selected by analyzing the user's past pest control history. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past pest control history into AI and have the AI ​​select the optimal information collection method.

[0040] The data collection unit can filter information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is currently raising children, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting information on insect repellent items that are safe for children. If the user has pets, the data collection unit can also collect information on insect repellent measures that are not harmful to pets. Furthermore, if the user enjoys outdoor activities, the data collection unit can collect information on insect repellent items that can be used outdoors. This allows for the collection of highly relevant information by filtering it based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the processing described above in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input information about the user's current living situation and areas of interest into an AI and have the AI ​​perform the information filtering.

[0041] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location. For example, if the user lives in an urban area, the data collection unit can collect information on effective pest control measures in urban areas. It can also collect information on effective pest control measures in rural areas if the user lives in a rural area. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the data collection unit can collect information on pest control measures specific to the travel destination. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's geographical location information into an AI and have the AI ​​collect highly relevant information.

[0042] The data collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect relevant information during data collection. For example, the data collection unit can collect information about pest control items that the user has shared on social media. The data collection unit can also analyze posts from pest control experts that the user follows and collect relevant information. Furthermore, the data collection unit can analyze posts from pest control communities that the user participates in and collect relevant information. In this way, relevant information can be collected by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's social media activity into AI and have the AI ​​collect relevant information.

[0043] The suggestion function can adjust the level of detail in its suggestions based on the importance of the insect repellent items. For example, it can provide suggestions with detailed explanations for highly important insect repellent items, and suggestions with concise explanations for less important items. Furthermore, it can adjust the order of suggestions according to their importance, prioritizing the provision of important information. This allows the suggestion function to prioritize providing information important to the user by adjusting the level of detail in suggestions based on the importance of the insect repellent items. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion function may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion function can input the importance of the insect repellent items into the AI ​​and have the AI ​​adjust the level of detail in the suggestions.

[0044] The suggestion unit can apply different suggestion algorithms depending on the category of the insect repellent item when making suggestions. For example, for indoor insect repellent items, the suggestion unit can apply a suggestion algorithm specialized for the indoor environment. Similarly, for outdoor insect repellent items, the suggestion unit can apply a suggestion algorithm specialized for the outdoor environment. Furthermore, for pet insect repellent items, the suggestion unit can apply a suggestion algorithm that takes pet safety into consideration. This allows for more effective suggestions by applying different suggestion algorithms depending on the category of the insect repellent item. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the category of the insect repellent item into the AI ​​and have the AI ​​apply the suggestion algorithm.

[0045] The suggestion unit can determine the priority of suggestions based on the timing of use of the insect repellent items. For example, the suggestion unit will prioritize suggesting insect repellent items that are due to be used soon. It can also postpone suggesting insect repellent items that are due to be used far in the future. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can adjust the level of detail in the suggestions according to the timing of use and provide the necessary information. By prioritizing suggestions based on the timing of use of insect repellent items, the system can provide users with the necessary information at the appropriate time. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the timing of use of insect repellent items into the AI ​​and have the AI ​​determine the priority of suggestions.

[0046] The suggestion unit can adjust the order of suggestions based on the relevance of the insect repellent items.

This allows the user to receive the most relevant information by adjusting the order of suggestions based on the relevance of the insect repellent items. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the suggestion unit can input the relevance of the insect repellent items into the AI ​​and have the AI ​​adjust the order of suggestions.

[0047] The integrated unit can monitor the temperature, humidity, and light conditions inside the house in real time during integration and analyze insect appearance patterns. For example, if the temperature is high, the integrated unit will suggest measures to lower the temperature, as insect appearances increase. Similarly, if the humidity is high, the integrated unit will suggest measures to lower the humidity, as insect appearances also increase. Furthermore, since light conditions affect insect appearances, the integrated unit can also suggest adjusting the light. In this way, by monitoring the environment inside the house in real time, insect appearance patterns can be analyzed and effective pest control measures can be proposed. Some or all of the above processing in the integrated unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the integrated unit can input data acquired from IoT devices into AI and have the AI ​​perform the analysis of insect appearance patterns.

[0048] The integration unit can optimize the operation of IoT devices based on the user's lifestyle patterns during integration. For example, if the user is active at night, the integration unit can suggest effective insect control measures for the night. It can also suggest effective insect control measures for the daytime if the user is active during the day. Furthermore, the integration unit can adjust the timing of IoT device operation according to the user's lifestyle patterns. This allows for the provision of effective insect control measures by optimizing IoT device operation based on the user's lifestyle patterns. Some or all of the above processing in the integration unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the integration unit can input information about the user's lifestyle patterns into the AI ​​and have the AI ​​optimize the operation of the IoT devices.

[0049] The integration unit can, during integration, place different IoT devices in different rooms within the house and analyze insect appearance patterns in detail.

[0133] 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 microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0134] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 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.

[0141] 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.).

[0142] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. 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.

[0143] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0144] 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.

[0145] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, proposal unit, collaboration unit, and analysis unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314 to collect information such as the layout of the user's house, family structure, and lifestyle. The proposal unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and analyzes the collected information to propose the most suitable insect repellent items and measures.

The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and analyzes photos and blueprints of the house uploaded by the user to propose the most suitable insect repellent measures. 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.

[0146] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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).

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.).

[0159] 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.

[0160] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0161] 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.

[0162] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, proposal unit, collaboration unit, and analysis unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit uses the robot 414's camera 42 and microphone 238 to collect information such as the user's house layout, family structure, and lifestyle. The proposal unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected information to propose the most suitable insect repellent items and measures. The collaboration unit, for example, collaborates with IoT devices via the robot 414's communication I / F 44 to analyze the living patterns and insect appearance patterns of the entire house. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes photos and blueprints of the house uploaded by the user to propose the most suitable insect repellent measures. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.
