[0028] (Example of form 1) The Care AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes symptoms during times of physical and psychological distress and proposes solutions. This Care AI agent system analyzes the user's words, facial expressions, and voice, visualizes symptoms and their severity in real time, and infers the name and cause of the illness. Next, it proposes personalized solutions and provides empathetic support through a personalized AI character. This enables the generation of medical reports for healthcare institutions, allowing for rapid and appropriate treatment, and is expected to shorten consultation times and improve the accuracy of medical care. It also aims to reduce the psychological burden on patients and alleviate physical symptoms. Furthermore, reminder functions for regular online consultations, hospital visits, and medication adherence enable daily and continuous care. The Care AI agent evolves through continuous self-learning, and is constantly updated with the latest medical knowledge. This allows it to become an empathetic and supportive presence for users who feel distressed but do not want to burden their family or those around them. For example, the Care AI agent system analyzes the user's words, facial expressions, and voice. For example, the Care AI agent system analyzes the user's words to identify emotions and symptoms. Next, the Care AI agent system analyzes the user's facial expressions to determine the degree of pain or discomfort.

This allows the Care AI agent system to comprehensively understand the user's condition and propose appropriate solutions. As a result, the Care AI agent system can analyze the user's symptoms in real time and propose appropriate solutions.
[0029] The Care AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a visualization unit, an inference unit, a suggestion unit, and a report generation unit. The analysis unit analyzes the user's words, facial expressions, and voice. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's words to identify emotions and symptoms. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's facial expressions to determine the degree of pain or discomfort. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's voice to infer the level of stress or fatigue. The visualization unit visualizes symptoms and their severity, such as pain, in real time based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the visualization unit displays the intensity of pain in a graph. For example, the visualization unit indicates the level of fatigue with color. For example, the visualization unit represents the degree of stress numerically. The inference unit infers the name and cause of a disease based on the information visualized by the visualization unit. For example, the inference unit infers the name of a disease from the location and intensity of pain. For example, the inference unit identifies the cause of fatigue. For example, the inference unit analyzes the factors contributing to stress. The suggestion unit proposes personalized improvement measures based on the information inferred by the prediction unit. For example, the suggestion unit proposes methods for pain relief. For example, the suggestion unit proposes exercises for fatigue recovery. For example, the suggestion unit proposes relaxation methods for stress reduction. The report generation unit generates a medical report based on the information proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, the report generation unit includes information on the intensity and location of pain in the medical report. For example, the report generation unit includes information on the level and cause of fatigue in the medical report. For example, the report generation unit includes information on the degree and factors of stress in the medical report. As a result, the Care AI agent system according to the embodiment can analyze the user's words, facial expressions, and voice, visualize symptoms and their severity in real time, predict the name and cause of the illness, propose personalized improvement measures, and generate a medical report.
[0030] The analysis unit analyzes the user's words, facial expressions, and voice. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's words to identify emotions and symptoms. Specifically, it uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the user's statements and extract emotions and symptoms from keywords and context. For example, if a user says, "My head hurts," the analysis unit extracts the keyword "pain" and identifies that the pain is in the head. It also analyzes the user's facial expressions to determine the degree of pain or discomfort. For facial expression analysis, it uses image recognition technology to analyze the movement of facial muscles, eye opening and closing, and the degree to which the corners of the mouth are turned up. For example, if a user is frowning, the analysis unit will determine from the expression that they are feeling pain or discomfort. Furthermore, it analyzes the user's voice to estimate the level of stress and fatigue. For voice analysis, it uses speech recognition technology to analyze the tone, pitch, and speaking speed of the voice. For example, if a user's voice is trembling, the analysis unit will infer from the voice that they are feeling stressed. In this way, the analysis unit can collect information from multiple angles from the user's words, facial expressions, and voice to identify emotions and symptoms.
[0031] The visualization unit visualizes symptoms and their severity, such as pain, in real time based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it displays the user's pain intensity in a graph based on data obtained from the analysis unit. For example, it can represent pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10 and display the change in pain intensity over time as a line graph. It also indicates the level of fatigue with color. For example, low fatigue is displayed in green, moderate fatigue in yellow, and high fatigue in red. Furthermore, it represents the degree of stress numerically. For example, it quantifies the degree of stress on a scale from 0 to 100, visually showing how much stress the user is experiencing. This allows the visualization unit to intuitively understand the user's symptoms and their severity, and supports real-time situation assessment. In addition, the visualization unit can save and compare the symptoms and severity the user has experienced in the past as a history. This makes it easier to understand changes in the user's symptoms and trends in improvement.
[0032] The prediction unit predicts the name and cause of a disease based on the information visualized by the visualization unit. Specifically, it predicts the name of a disease from the location and intensity of pain. For example, if headaches occur frequently and are above a certain intensity, it predicts the possibility of migraines. It also identifies the cause of fatigue. For example, if long hours of work or lack of sleep continue, it predicts that the cause of fatigue is overwork or lack of sleep. Furthermore, it analyzes the factors of stress. For example, if a user is experiencing stress in a particular situation or environment, it predicts that the factors are work pressure or interpersonal problems. The prediction unit uses AI to analyze this data and simulate multiple scenarios to identify the most likely name and cause of the disease. As a result, the prediction unit can predict the name and cause of a disease with high accuracy based on the user's symptoms and severity, and provide information to take appropriate measures. In addition, the prediction unit can also utilize past data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessment and trend analysis.
[0033] The suggestion unit proposes personalized improvement measures based on the information inferred by the prediction unit. Specifically, it suggests methods for pain relief. For example, in the case of a headache, it suggests applying a cold compress or getting rest. It also suggests exercise for fatigue recovery. For example, it suggests methods to reduce fatigue by doing light stretching or walking. Furthermore, it suggests relaxation methods to reduce stress. For example, it suggests methods to reduce stress by doing deep breathing or meditation. The suggestion unit can provide the most suitable improvement measures according to the user's individual circumstances and needs. In this way, the suggestion unit can help users take appropriate measures according to their symptoms and their severity, and promote improvement in their health. In addition, the suggestion unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions.
[0034] The report generation unit generates medical reports based on the information proposed by the proposal unit. Specifically, the medical report includes information on the intensity and location of pain. For example, it might record that the headache intensity is 7 out of 10 and the location is the frontal region. It also includes information on the level and cause of fatigue. For example, it might record that the fatigue level is 8 out of 10 and the cause is lack of sleep. Furthermore, it includes information on the degree and factors of stress. For example, it might record that the stress level is 70 out of 100 and the factor is work pressure. The report generation unit can centrally compile this information and provide it in a format that is easily understood by healthcare professionals. This allows the report generation unit to support healthcare professionals in quickly understanding the user's symptoms and their severity and providing appropriate medical care. In addition, the report generation unit can save past reports and track changes and improvements in the user's symptoms. This makes it easier for healthcare professionals to understand the user's long-term health status.
[0035] The reminder function provides reminders for regular online consultations, hospital visits, medication adherence, etc. For example, the reminder function may remind users of weekly online consultations, monthly hospital visits, or daily medication adherence. By providing reminder functions for regular online consultations, hospital visits, medication adherence, etc., daily and continuous care becomes possible.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent.

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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, visualization unit, prediction unit, proposal unit, report generation unit, reminder unit, learning unit, and update unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's words, facial expressions, and voice using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and identifies emotions and symptoms using the control unit 46A. The visualization unit displays, for example, the intensity of pain and the level of fatigue using the display of the robot 414.

The update unit updates the latest medical knowledge, for example, through the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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."
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
