[0028] (Example of form 1) The shoplifting prevention AI according to an embodiment of the present invention is a security system for supermarkets and convenience stores. This security system reads video from multiple security cameras and provides the following functions. First, it detects suspicious individuals and contacts the person in charge. The AI ​​analyzes the security camera footage and identifies individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior. For example, it detects behaviors such as picking up an item and immediately putting it back, or walking around the store in an unnatural manner. This allows for the early detection of individuals who may be shoplifting and notification to the person in charge. Next, it extracts only the necessary parts from a large amount of video to generate a small-capacity video. The AI ​​analyzes the security camera footage and extracts only the parts that contain the moment of shoplifting or suspicious behavior. This allows for the efficient saving of only the parts necessary as evidence and reduces data size. Furthermore, it creates a report for identifying the perpetrator. The AI ​​records the actions of the detected suspicious person in detail and compiles them into a report. For example, it describes what actions were taken at what time, where, and when. This makes it easier to identify the perpetrator and facilitates reporting to the police and submitting evidence. In this way, the Shoplifting Prevention AI aims to eliminate shoplifting by detecting suspicious individuals, extracting necessary video clips, and creating reports to identify perpetrators. This enables the Shoplifting Prevention AI to efficiently collect, analyze, extract, and report on security camera footage.

[0029] The shoplifting prevention AI according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a detection unit, a cropping unit, and a report generation unit. The collection unit collects video from security cameras. The collection unit can, for example, collect video from multiple security cameras. The collection unit can, for example, use cameras that cover the entire area of ​​the store or cameras that concentrate on a specific area. The collection unit can, for example, use AI to efficiently collect video from security cameras. The detection unit analyzes the video collected by the collection unit and detects suspicious individuals. The detection unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the video from security cameras and identify individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior. The detection unit can, for example, detect behaviors such as picking up an item and immediately putting it back, or walking around the store unnaturally. The detection unit can, for example, use AI to detect individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior early and notify the person in charge. The cropping unit crops out only the necessary parts based on the suspicious individuals detected by the detection unit. The clipping unit can, for example, use AI to analyze security camera footage and extract only the parts containing the moment of shoplifting or suspicious behavior. The clipping unit can, for example, efficiently save only the parts necessary as evidence, thereby reducing data size. The report creation unit creates a report based on the footage clipped by the clipping unit. The report creation unit can, for example, use AI to record in detail the actions of the suspicious person detected and compile them into a report. The report creation unit can, for example, describe what actions were taken, where, and at what time of day. As a result, the shoplifting prevention AI according to this embodiment can efficiently collect, analyze, clip, and create reports from security camera footage.

[0030] The data collection unit collects footage from security cameras. For example, the unit can collect footage from multiple security cameras. Specifically, it can use cameras that cover the entire store or cameras concentrated in specific areas. This ensures thorough surveillance of every corner of the store, reducing the risk of shoplifting. The data collection unit can efficiently collect security camera footage using AI. The AI ​​automatically adjusts the video quality and resolution to collect data in optimal conditions. For example, it can correct for distortions caused by changes in lighting or camera position, resulting in clear images. Furthermore, the data collection unit collects footage in real time and transmits it to a central database. This ensures that the latest footage is always stored and can be used for subsequent analysis and detection. Additionally, the data collection unit can efficiently manage data volume using video data compression technology. This allows for the long-term storage of large amounts of video data, enabling retrospective review of past footage. The data collection unit can also collaborate with other systems and departments, sharing data as needed. For example, it can collaborate with police and security companies, providing collected video data to enable a rapid response.

[0031] The detection unit analyzes the video footage collected by the collection unit to detect suspicious individuals. The detection unit uses AI to analyze security camera footage and identify individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior. Specifically, it can detect actions such as picking up an item and immediately putting it back, or walking around the store unnaturally. The AI ​​tracks the movements of individuals in the video and detects abnormalities by comparing them to normal behavior patterns. For example, the AI ​​analyzes the speed, direction, and duration of a person's movement to identify unusual behavior. Furthermore, the AI ​​can learn from past data and model typical shoplifting patterns, enabling more accurate detection. The detection unit can detect individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior early and notify the responsible personnel. Notifications are made in real time, allowing personnel to respond immediately. For example, alerts can be sent to smartphones or tablets, displaying the location and behavior of the suspicious individual. The detection unit can also incorporate a feedback loop to continuously improve the accuracy of abnormal behavior detection. This allows the detection unit to retrain the AI ​​model based on collected data, further improving detection accuracy. This allows the detection unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected video footage and identify suspicious individuals early on.

[0032] The clipping unit extracts only the necessary parts based on the suspicious person detected by the detection unit. Using AI, the clipping unit analyzes security camera footage and can extract only the moments of shoplifting or other suspicious behavior. Specifically, the AI ​​tracks the movement of people in the footage and identifies the time and location where abnormal behavior occurred. This allows for efficient extraction of only the necessary parts from long periods of footage. The clipping unit efficiently saves only the necessary parts as evidence, reducing data size. For example, it can extract and save footage from the few minutes before and after the moment of shoplifting or suspicious behavior. Furthermore, the clipping unit can use video compression technology to optimize data size while maintaining video quality. This ensures that saved footage can be played back in high quality when reviewed later. Additionally, the clipping unit can share the extracted footage with other systems and departments. For example, providing it to the police or security companies enables a quicker response. In summary, the clipping unit efficiently extracts only the necessary parts and saves them as evidence.

[0033] The reporting department creates reports based on the video clippings made by the clipping department. The reporting department can meticulously record the actions of suspicious individuals detected using AI and compile them into reports. Specifically, it can record what actions were taken, where, and at what time. The AI ​​analyzes the movements of the person in the video and creates a detailed timeline of their actions. For example, it can meticulously record the time when an item was picked up, the route the person walked around the store, and the moment of shoplifting. The AI ​​can also evaluate the abnormality and risk level of the actions and reflect this in the report. This allows the person in charge to grasp the actions of suspicious individuals at a glance. The reporting department can save the created reports in digital format and print them as needed. Furthermore, the reporting department can collaborate with other systems and departments to share reports. For example, providing them to the police or security companies enables a rapid response. This allows the reporting department to meticulously record the actions of suspicious individuals and create reports efficiently.

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.

[0142] 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.).

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, detection unit, clipping unit, and report generation unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects security camera footage using the camera 42 of the headset terminal 314 or the communication I / F 26 of the data processing unit 12. The detection unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and analyzes the security camera footage to identify individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior. The clipping unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and extracts only the parts containing the moment of shoplifting or other suspicious behavior. The report generation unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and records the actions of the detected suspicious person in detail and compiles them into a report. 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.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0148] 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.

[0149] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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).

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, detection unit, clipping unit, and report generation unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects security camera footage using the camera 42 of the robot 414 or the communication I / F 26 of the data processing unit 12. The detection unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the security camera footage and identifies individuals exhibiting abnormal behavior. The clipping unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which extracts only the parts containing the moment of shoplifting or other suspicious behavior. The report generation unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which records the actions of the detected suspicious person in detail and compiles them into a report. 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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."

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
