[0028] (Example of form 1) An environmental data collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that autonomously controls multiple drones using generative AI to collect and analyze wide-area environmental data in real time. The environmental data collection system optimizes the flight paths and schedules of the drones using generative AI to achieve efficient data collection. Based on the collected data, the environmental data collection system immediately detects environmental anomalies and proposes countermeasures. For example, in the environmental data collection system, the generative AI plans the flight paths of the drones, and the drones fly autonomously to collect environmental data. The collected data is analyzed in real time, and if an anomaly is detected, the generative AI immediately proposes countermeasures. This system reduces the time and cost required for collecting environmental data and enables efficient monitoring of wide areas. It also prevents delays in anomaly detection and enables rapid response. As a result, the environmental data collection system reduces the time and cost required for collecting environmental data and enables efficient monitoring of wide areas.
[0029] The environmental data collection system according to this embodiment comprises a planning unit, a collection unit, and an analysis unit. The planning unit plans the flight path of the drone. The planning unit optimizes the flight path of the drone using, for example, a generative AI. The planning unit can plan a path considering the length, safety, and efficiency of the flight path. The planning unit can, for example, have the generative AI plan the optimal path based on real-time data. The planning unit can also have the generative AI analyze past flight data and select the optimal path. The planning unit can also have the generative AI optimize the path considering weather and terrain information. The collection unit autonomously flies the drone based on the flight path planned by the planning unit. The collection unit autonomously controls the drone using, for example, a generative AI. The collection unit monitors the drone's flight path in real time and can adjust the path as needed. The collection unit can also have the generative AI monitor the drone's battery level and plan the optimal path. The collection unit can also have the generative AI plan a path to avoid collisions with other drones. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit in real time. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data, for example, using a generative AI. Based on the collected data, the analysis unit can detect environmental anomalies. The analysis unit can also propose countermeasures when the generative AI detects an anomaly. The analysis unit can also optimize the analysis algorithm by allowing the generative AI to refer to past analysis data. As a result, the environmental data collection system according to this embodiment can plan the drone's flight path, fly it autonomously, and analyze the collected data in real time.
[0030] The planning department plans the drone's flight path. For example, the planning department optimizes the drone's flight path using generative AI. Specifically, when planning the drone's flight path, the generative AI plans the optimal path based on real-time data. The generative AI can also analyze past flight data and select the optimal path. For example, past flight data includes the drone's flight path, flight time, battery consumption, and the location of obstacles. Based on this data, the generative AI plans the optimal flight path. Furthermore, the generative AI can also optimize the path by considering weather and terrain information. For example, weather information includes wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, and temperature, while terrain information includes the location of mountains, valleys, and buildings. Based on this information, the generative AI plans a path that allows the drone to fly safely and efficiently. The planning department transmits the flight path planned by the generative AI to the drone and instructs the drone to fly according to that path. This allows the planning department to plan the drone's flight path efficiently and safely.
[0031] The collection unit autonomously flies the drone based on the flight path planned by the planning unit. The collection unit autonomously controls the drone, for example, using generative AI. Specifically, the generative AI monitors the drone's flight path in real time and adjusts the path as needed. For example, if the drone encounters an unexpected obstacle during flight, the generative AI immediately changes the drone's flight path to avoid the obstacle. The generative AI can also monitor the drone's battery level and plan the optimal path before the battery runs out. For example, if the drone is flying for a long period, the generative AI considers battery consumption and plans a path that passes through points where the battery can be replaced or charged along the way. Furthermore, the generative AI can also plan a path to avoid collisions with other drones. For example, if multiple drones are flying in the same airspace, the generative AI adjusts the flight path of each drone to minimize the risk of collision. The collection unit autonomously flies the drone according to the flight path planned by the generative AI and collects environmental data. This allows the collection unit to fly the drone efficiently and safely and reliably collect the necessary data.
[0032] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit in real time. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data using, for example, a generative AI. Specifically, the generative AI detects environmental anomalies based on the collected data. For example, it analyzes atmospheric gas concentration data and temperature data collected by a drone, and if abnormal values are detected, the generative AI identifies the anomaly. Furthermore, the generative AI can also propose countermeasures when an anomaly is detected. For example, if an abnormal gas concentration is detected, the generative AI identifies the cause and proposes appropriate countermeasures. The generative AI can also optimize the analysis algorithm by referring to past analysis data. For example, it adjusts parameters to improve the accuracy of anomaly detection based on past data. Based on the results of the generative AI's analysis, the analysis unit can quickly detect environmental anomalies and take appropriate countermeasures. As a result, the analysis unit can efficiently and accurately analyze the collected data and detect environmental anomalies at an early stage.
[0033] The analysis unit can detect environmental anomalies based on the collected data. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze the collected data and detect anomalies. The analysis unit can detect environmental anomalies such as temperature anomalies, humidity anomalies, and gas leaks. The analysis unit can also use a generative AI to detect anomalies based on real-time data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use a generative AI to detect anomalies by referring to past anomaly data. This allows for the detection of environmental anomalies based on collected data.
[0034] The analysis unit includes a countermeasure proposal unit that suggests countermeasures when an anomaly is detected. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to suggest countermeasures when an anomaly is detected. The analysis unit can suggest countermeasures based on the algorithm and priority of the suggestions. The analysis unit can also have the generation AI suggest the most appropriate countermeasure depending on the type of anomaly. Furthermore, the analysis unit can have the generation AI suggest the most appropriate countermeasure by referring to past countermeasure history. This allows the system to suggest countermeasures when an anomaly is detected.
[0035] The planning department can optimize the drone's flight paths and schedules. For example, the planning department can use generative AI to optimize the drone's flight paths and schedules. The planning department can optimize routes and schedules based on the optimization objectives and the algorithms used. The planning department can also have the generative AI optimize routes and schedules based on real-time data. Furthermore, the planning department can have the generative AI optimize routes and schedules by referencing past flight data. This allows for the optimization of the drone's flight paths and schedules.
[0036] The data collection unit can collect wide-area environmental data in real time. For example, the data collection unit uses generative AI to collect wide-area environmental data in real time. The data collection unit can collect data based on the collection range and the type of data to be collected. The data collection unit can also optimize the collection range based on real-time data generated by the generative AI. Furthermore, the data collection unit can adjust the collection range based on specific environmental conditions using the generative AI. This enables the collection of wide-area environmental data in real time.

For example, the planning department can use generative AI to analyze past flight data and select the optimal flight path. The planning department can use generative AI to analyze past flight data and select the most efficient path. The planning department can also use generative AI to select a path with fewer obstacles from past flight data. The planning department can also use generative AI to select a path suitable for weather conditions based on past flight data. In this way, the optimal flight path can be selected by analyzing past flight data.
[0038] The planning department can optimize flight paths based on weather and terrain information. For example, the planning department can use generative AI to optimize paths based on weather and terrain information. The planning department can use generative AI to acquire real-time weather information and plan the optimal path. The planning department can also use generative AI to analyze terrain data and plan paths that take altitude and obstacles into consideration. The planning department can also use generative AI to plan paths that avoid bad weather based on weather forecast data. In this way, flight paths can be optimized based on weather and terrain information.
[0039] The planning unit can adjust the flight path based on the drone's battery level when planning the flight path. For example, the planning unit can use a generation AI to monitor the drone's battery level in real time and plan the optimal path. The planning unit can also have the generation AI plan a path that includes charging points along the way, depending on the battery level. The planning unit can also have the generation AI plan the shortest path, taking the battery level into consideration. This allows the flight path to be adjusted based on the drone's battery level.
[0040] The planning unit can set routes to avoid collisions with other drones when planning flight paths. For example, the planning unit can use generative AI to set routes to avoid collisions with other drones. The planning unit can use generative AI to acquire the location information of other drones in real time and plan routes to avoid collisions. The planning unit can also use generative AI to predict the flight paths of other drones and plan the optimal route. The planning unit can also use generative AI to communicate with other drones and plan flight paths in cooperation. This makes it possible to set routes that avoid collisions with other drones.

The data collection unit uses generative AI to acquire real-time environmental data and plan the optimal collection range. The data collection unit can also use generative AI to adjust the collection range based on specific environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity). Furthermore, the data collection unit can use generative AI to optimize the collection range based on environmental prediction data. This allows the data collection range to be adjusted based on specific environmental conditions.
[0043] The data collection unit can optimize the collection range based on the drone's location information during data collection. For example, the collection unit can use generative AI to optimize the collection range based on the drone's location information. The collection unit uses generative AI to acquire the drone's location information in real time and plan the optimal collection range. The collection unit can also use generative AI to optimize the collection range based on the drone's flight path. Furthermore, the collection unit can use generative AI to dynamically adjust the collection range, taking the drone's location information into consideration. This allows for the optimization of the collection range based on the drone's location information.
[0044] The data collection unit can improve collection accuracy by referencing other sensor information during data collection. For example, the data collection unit can improve collection accuracy by referencing other sensor information using a generating AI. The data collection unit can improve collection accuracy by having the generating AI reference other sensor information (e.g., temperature sensor, humidity sensor). The data collection unit can also improve the accuracy of collected data by having the generating AI integrate information from multiple sensors. Furthermore, the data collection unit can optimize the collection range by having the generating AI acquire sensor information in real time. This allows for improved collection accuracy by referencing other sensor information.
[0045] The analysis unit can optimize the analysis algorithm by referring to past analysis data. For example, the analysis unit can optimize the analysis algorithm by referring to past analysis data using a generative AI. The generative AI analyzes past analysis data and selects the optimal algorithm. The generative AI can also select an algorithm suitable for specific environmental conditions from past analysis data. The generative AI can also select an algorithm that improves analysis accuracy based on past analysis data. This allows the analysis algorithm to be optimized by referring to past analysis data.
[0046] The analysis unit can change the analysis method based on specific environmental parameters during data analysis. For example, the analysis unit can use a generative AI to change the analysis method based on specific environmental parameters. The generative AI acquires real-time environmental data and selects the optimal analysis method. The analysis unit can also have the generative AI change the analysis method based on specific environmental parameters (e.g., temperature, humidity). Furthermore, the generative AI can optimize the analysis method based on environmental prediction data. This allows the analysis method to be changed based on specific environmental parameters.
[0047] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of its analysis by referencing other data sources during data analysis. For example, the analysis unit can improve accuracy by referencing other data sources using a generative AI.

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.

[0117] 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.

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.
[0121] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing 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 processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0123] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.
[0124] 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 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.

[0143] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0144] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.).
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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).

[0158] 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.
[0159] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the planning unit, data collection unit, and analysis unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the planning unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which optimizes the drone's flight path using generated AI. The data collection unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which autonomously flies the drone based on the planned flight path. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data in real time. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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."
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
