[0028] (Example of form 1) The snow removal management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for solving snow removal problems in heavy snowfall areas. This snow removal management system takes in snowfall conditions, snow removal status, weather data, pedestrian flow data, etc., and considers the necessity and priority of snow removal. The target audience is citizens of snowy regions and snow removal companies. In heavy snowfall areas, snow removal has become a social problem due to labor shortages and abnormal weather. By using this data to investigate and prioritize the necessity of snow removal, the snow removal management system is expected to prevent economic losses due to the paralysis of urban functions, reduce the time and budget required for snow removal, decrease the workload of companies, and alleviate dissatisfaction among citizens and snow removal companies. For example, the snow removal management system takes in snowfall conditions and snow removal status in real time. This involves collecting data using devices such as sensors and cameras. Next, the snow removal management system takes in weather data and pedestrian flow data and analyzes this data. For example, weather data includes temperature, snowfall amount, wind speed, etc., and pedestrian flow data includes people's movement patterns and congestion levels. Based on this data, the snow removal management system determines the necessity of snow removal. For example, it determines whether snow removal around major roads and public facilities should be prioritized. Furthermore, the snow removal management system prioritizes snow removal. For example, roads with heavy traffic and areas that affect public transportation should be prioritized. This system is expected to prevent economic losses due to urban paralysis. For instance, if major roads are not cleared of snow, traffic congestion and accidents can occur, potentially having a significant impact on economic activity. It is also expected to reduce the time and budget required for snow removal. By efficiently determining the need for snow removal and prioritizing it, the snow removal management system can reduce unnecessary snow removal work. In addition, it is expected to reduce the workload of contractors and alleviate dissatisfaction among citizens and snow removal companies. By accurately determining the need for snow removal and prioritizing it, contractors can work efficiently, and citizens will be relieved of their dissatisfaction as snow removal is carried out quickly. In this way, the snow removal management system can prevent economic losses due to urban paralysis, reduce the time and budget required for snow removal, reduce the workload of contractors, and alleviate dissatisfaction among citizens and snow removal companies.

As a result, the snow removal management system according to this embodiment can efficiently collect, analyze, judge, and rank snowfall and snow removal conditions.

[0030] The data collection unit collects information on snowfall and snow removal conditions. The unit uses devices such as sensors and cameras to collect data. Specifically, it can measure temperature using temperature sensors and humidity using humidity sensors. This allows for a detailed understanding of snowfall conditions and snow accumulation. It can also measure snowfall amounts using snowfall sensors. Snowfall sensors detect snow depth and snowfall intensity in real time and collect data. Furthermore, surveillance cameras can be used to monitor snow removal conditions. Surveillance cameras capture wide-area snow removal situations from fixed positions, helping to understand the progress of snow removal work. Drone cameras can also be used to capture wide-area snow removal situations. Drone cameras are effective for checking snow removal conditions in areas that are difficult to see from the ground, as they capture wide areas from the air. Additionally, vehicle-mounted cameras can be used to record snow removal conditions while moving. Vehicle-mounted cameras are installed on snow removal vehicles and record road conditions and snow removal progress while moving. This allows the data collection unit to collect a wide range of data using various devices and understand the situation in real time. The collected data is sent to a central database, making it accessible to the analysis and judgment units. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

For example, it can select the optimal analysis algorithm based on past temperature data to improve the accuracy of the analysis. It can also improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past precipitation data. Furthermore, it can analyze past wind speed data and adjust the parameters of the analysis algorithm. As a result, the analysis unit can quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and provide information for determining the necessity and priority of snow removal. In addition, the analysis unit uses AI to process data in real time and understand the surrounding situation. The AI ​​uses image recognition technology to analyze camera footage and identify the progress of snow removal and the state of snow accumulation.

It can also make rapid determinations and enable immediate responses in the event of an emergency. This allows the determination unit to accurately determine the need for snow removal based on the analyzed data and take appropriate action. In addition, the determination unit uses AI to analyze data and determine the need for snow removal in real time. The AI ​​can also utilize historical data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. This allows the judgment unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0033] The ranking unit prioritizes snow removal based on the results determined by the judgment unit. For example, the ranking unit prioritizes areas that may affect roads with heavy traffic or public transportation operations. Specifically, it prioritizes data around major transportation routes to maximize the efficiency of snow removal work. It also prioritizes data around public facilities to ensure that the operation of important facilities is not disrupted. Furthermore, it prioritizes data in areas with high pedestrian traffic to ensure the safety of residents. The ranking unit uses AI to analyze the data and formulate an optimal snow removal plan. The AI ​​can also utilize historical data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessments and trend analysis. This allows the ranking unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system. In addition, the ranking unit can continuously revise the ranking results based on data that is updated in real time, so as to respond to the latest situation. For example, if the amount of snowfall or traffic volume changes rapidly, the ranking unit immediately takes in the new data and updates the ranking results. Furthermore, by considering the characteristics of each region and past disaster history, more accurate rankings can be achieved. As a result, the ranking unit can always provide highly accurate rankings based on the latest information, supporting a swift and appropriate response.

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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, determination unit, and ranking unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects snowfall and snow removal conditions using the camera 42 and sensors of the headset terminal 314. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data. The determination unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and determines the necessity of snow removal based on the analyzed data. The ranking unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and ranks the priority of snow removal based on the determined results. 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.

[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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).

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.).

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, determination unit, and ranking unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects snowfall and snow removal conditions using the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data. The determination unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and determines the necessity of snow removal based on the analyzed data. The ranking unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and ranks the priority of snow removal based on the determined results. 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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."

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.
