[0028] (Example of form 1) An AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that summarizes videos recorded by a patient or their family members into content that is easy for a doctor to understand and acts as a bridge between them. This AI system allows the patient or their family members to record the affected area while describing their symptoms. For example, they might record symptoms such as "a dull ache," "nausea," or "drowsiness." They might also record things related to the symptoms, such as their complexion, the condition of a rash, tremors, vomit, or urine. In the case of an injury, they might record the condition of the affected area and the object of the injury, such as a fall down stairs, being hit by a ball, or being bitten by an insect. These videos are analyzed by the AI and summarized for the doctor before the patient arrives at the hospital. Since the patient may be unable to speak after arrival, a function to read the summary aloud is also included. Furthermore, in a second phase, it is possible to have the hospital automatically generate a consultation format via communication before the patient arrives. This AI system is particularly targeted at foreigners with limited Japanese language skills, tourists visiting Japan, young people unable to describe their symptoms, elderly people with cognitive impairment, and patients suffering from severe symptoms who are unable to communicate. This eliminates the need for one-on-one verbal explanations to doctors, allowing for accurate information to be provided even if memories are vague. It also makes it easier for doctors to understand the circumstances at the time of the incident, bridging language barriers and nuance differences. This system acts as a bridge between the person who knows the details of the incident (the patient) and the person providing treatment (the doctor), resolving misunderstandings. Furthermore, it can bridge the time gap between the onset of the incident and treatment. In addition, it utilizes generative AI technologies such as summarization, translation, video analysis, sentiment analysis, and language analysis. This allows the AI system to summarize patient videos into content that is easy for doctors to understand, bridging the gap between the two.
[0029] The AI system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a reading unit, and a formatting unit. The reception unit records videos recorded by the patient or their related parties.

[0069] (Example of form 2) An AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that summarizes videos recorded by a patient or their family members into content that is easy for a doctor to understand and acts as a bridge between them. This AI system allows the patient or their family members to record the affected area while describing their symptoms. For example, they might record symptoms such as "a dull ache," "nausea," or "drowsiness." They might also record things related to the symptoms, such as their complexion, the condition of a rash, tremors, vomit, or urine. In the case of an injury, they might record the condition of the affected area and the object of the injury, such as a fall down stairs, being hit by a ball, or being bitten by an insect. These videos are analyzed by the AI and summarized for the doctor before the patient arrives at the hospital. Since the patient may be unable to speak after arrival, a function to read the summary aloud is also included. Furthermore, in a second phase, it is possible to have the hospital automatically generate a consultation format via communication before the patient arrives. This AI system is particularly targeted at foreigners with limited Japanese language skills, tourists visiting Japan, young people unable to describe their symptoms, elderly people with cognitive impairment, and patients suffering from severe symptoms who are unable to communicate. This eliminates the need for one-on-one verbal explanations to doctors, allowing for accurate information to be provided even if memories are vague. It also makes it easier for doctors to understand the circumstances at the time of the incident, bridging language barriers and nuance differences. This system acts as a bridge between the person who knows the details of the incident (the patient) and the person providing treatment (the doctor), resolving misunderstandings. Furthermore, it can bridge the time gap between the onset of the incident and treatment. In addition, it utilizes generative AI technologies such as summarization, translation, video analysis, sentiment analysis, and language analysis. This allows the AI system to summarize patient videos into content that is easy for doctors to understand, bridging the gap between the two.

If the patient is anxious, the reading unit can read information that can be quickly understood first. This allows the reading order to be adjusted based on the patient's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reading unit can input patient facial expression data captured by a camera into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the estimation of the patient's emotions.
[0104] The reading unit can determine the reading priority based on when the summaries were filmed. For example, the reading unit may prioritize reading the most recent summaries. It can also prioritize the latest information, delaying older summaries. If the filming date is important, the reading unit can prioritize reading summaries filmed at a specific time. This allows the reading priority to be determined based on when the summaries were filmed. Some or all of the above processing in the reading unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reading unit can input the filming dates of the summaries into the AI and have the AI determine the reading priority.
[0105] The reading unit can improve the accuracy of its reading by referring to relevant literature related to the summary during the reading process.

If the summary contains urgent symptoms, the formatting unit can generate a format that can be quickly understood. This allows for the application of different formatting algorithms based on the content of the summary. Some or all of the above processing in the formatting unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the formatting unit can input the content of the summary into AI and have the AI select the optimal formatting algorithm.
[0108] The formatting unit can adjust the level of detail in the format according to the importance of the summary when generating the consultation format. For example, the formatting unit can generate a detailed format if the summary contains important symptoms. If the summary contains minor symptoms, the formatting unit can generate a concise format. If the summary contains urgent symptoms, the formatting unit can generate a format that can be quickly understood. This allows the level of detail in the format to be adjusted according to the importance of the summary. Some or all of the above processing in the formatting unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the formatting unit can input the importance of the summary into the AI and have the AI adjust the level of detail in the format.
[0109] The formatting unit can estimate the patient's emotions and adjust the order of the consultation format based on the estimated emotions.

If the patient is anxious, the formatting unit can display information that can be quickly understood first. This allows the order of the consultation format to be adjusted based on the patient's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the formatting unit may be performed using AI or not.

If the timing of the capture is important, the formatting unit can prioritize the capture of summaries taken at a specific time. This allows the formatting unit to determine the priority of the format based on the timing of the summary's capture. Some or all of the above processing in the formatting unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the formatting unit can input the timing of the summary's capture into the AI and have the AI determine the formatting priority.

For example, the reception desk can input past recording history into the AI and have the AI select the optimal recording method.
[0119] The reception desk can filter the recording content based on the patient's current health condition and symptoms. For example, if the patient has a high fever, it can instruct the system to record the thermometer reading. If the patient complains of a rash, it can instruct the system to focus on recording the area of the rash. If the patient complains of difficulty breathing, it can instruct the system to record their breathing.

[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.

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.

[0161] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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).
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.).
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.

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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, reading unit, and formatting unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit records a video of the patient using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and uploads it to the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit analyzes the video using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and extracts symptoms and the condition of the affected area. The generation unit generates a summary using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and converts it into a format that is easy for doctors to understand. The reading unit reads aloud the summary generated by the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The formatting unit automatically generates a consultation format using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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."
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.

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.
