This AI agent utilizes LLM (Limited Liability Management) and leverages its expertise to support the elderly in living their lives with peace of mind. Aiming to prevent fraud and improve transparency, it also supports communication with family and professionals. For example, the AI agent adult guardianship service manages the elderly's assets and performs optimal asset management and expenditure management. Next, the AI agent adult guardianship service analyzes regular expenditure patterns and issues warnings if abnormal expenditures occur. Furthermore, the AI agent adult guardianship service creates standard contracts and prepares legal documents. Finally, the AI agent adult guardianship service supports communication with family and professionals and prepares and provides regular reports. This service is designed to solve the challenges of the adult guardianship system in an aging society, addressing issues such as the complexity of the procedures for using the adult guardianship system, the shortage of guardians, the risk of fraud, limitations on flexible asset management, and the difficulty of providing continuous support. As a result, the AI agent adult guardianship service can efficiently manage the elderly's assets, detect anomalies, create legal documents, and provide communication support.
[0029] The AI agent adult guardianship service according to this embodiment comprises a management unit, a detection unit, a creation unit, and a support unit. The management unit manages the assets of the elderly. For example, the management unit manages the assets of the elderly and performs optimal asset management and expenditure management. For example, the management unit proposes asset management methods that take risk diversification into consideration. The management unit can also select highly profitable investment targets. Furthermore, the management unit can set budgets and monitor expenditures. The detection unit detects anomalies based on the assets managed by the management unit. For example, the detection unit analyzes regular expenditure patterns and issues warnings if abnormal expenditures occur. For example, the detection unit analyzes monthly expenditure history and detects abnormal expenditures. The detection unit can also analyze expenditures by category and detect abnormal expenditures. Furthermore, the detection unit can also warn of anomalies by providing alert notifications or email notifications. The creation unit creates contracts and legal documents based on the anomalies detected by the detection unit. For example, the creation unit prepares standard contracts and legal documents. The document creation unit can, for example, create lease agreements and sales contracts. It can also create wills and power of attorney documents. Furthermore, the document creation unit can review the content of legal documents and make necessary revisions. The support unit supports communication with family and professionals based on the documents created by the document creation unit. For example, the support unit supports communication with family and professionals and provides periodic reports. The support unit communicates using methods such as telephone, email, and video calls. The support unit can also create monthly and quarterly reports and provide them to family and professionals. As a result, the AI agent adult guardianship service according to this embodiment can efficiently manage the assets of the elderly, detect anomalies, create legal documents, and provide communication support.
[0030] The Management Department manages the assets of elderly individuals. For example, the Management Department manages the assets of elderly individuals and implements optimal asset management and expenditure management. Specifically, the Management Department centrally manages the assets of elderly individuals, such as bank accounts, investment accounts, and real estate, and understands the current state of their assets. When proposing asset management methods that take risk diversification into consideration, the Management Department uses AI to analyze market trends and risk factors and construct an optimal investment portfolio. For example, by diversifying investments across different asset classes such as stocks, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs), it maximizes returns while reducing risk. In addition, to select highly profitable investment targets, the AI analyzes past investment data and market trends to identify investment targets that are expected to yield high returns in the future. Furthermore, the Management Department sets budgets for elderly individuals' living expenses and medical expenses and monitors expenditures. For example, it manages monthly living expenses and medical expenses to stay within budget and issues alerts if the budget is exceeded. This prevents the elderly individuals' assets from being wasted and ensures long-term asset preservation. Through these functions, the Management Department efficiently and effectively manages the assets of elderly individuals and provides an environment in which they can live with peace of mind.
[0031] The detection unit detects anomalies based on assets managed by the management unit. For example, the detection unit analyzes regular spending patterns and issues warnings if abnormal spending occurs. Specifically, it uses AI to learn from the elderly person's past spending data and model normal spending patterns. For example, it analyzes spending patterns for monthly food, medical expenses, and utility bills, and immediately detects abnormal spending. When analyzing monthly spending history, the AI identifies anomalies based on data from the past few months and issues an alert if spending exceeds the normal range. It can also detect abnormal spending in specific categories by analyzing spending by category. For example, if a large expenditure suddenly occurs in a category that usually consists of small expenditures, the AI will detect the anomaly and issue a warning. Furthermore, the detection unit warns of anomalies by sending alert notifications and email notifications. For example, if abnormal spending is detected, it immediately notifies family members or legal guardians to encourage prompt action. This allows the detection unit to detect fraudulent activity or abnormal spending related to the elderly person's assets early and take appropriate measures.
[0032] The creation unit creates contracts and legal documents based on anomalies detected by the detection unit. For example, the creation unit prepares standard contracts and legal documents. Specifically, it uses AI to automatically input necessary information based on contract and legal document templates, creating documents quickly and accurately. For example, when creating lease agreements or sales agreements, it inputs the contract details and information of the parties involved, generating legally valid documents. When creating wills or power of attorney, it includes content that reflects the wishes of the elderly person and creates documents in a legally valid format. Furthermore, the creation unit can review the content of legal documents and make necessary corrections. For example, it updates the content of documents in accordance with legal revisions or changes in circumstances, reflecting the latest information. As a result, the creation unit can quickly and accurately create legal documents necessary for the management of the elderly person's assets, preventing legal troubles from occurring.
[0033] The Support Department assists with communication with families and professionals based on documents created by the Document Creation Department. For example, the Support Department supports communication with families and professionals and provides regular reports. Specifically, it contacts families and professionals via telephone, email, and video calls to report on the elderly person's financial management status and the results of any anomaly detections. For instance, by creating and providing monthly and quarterly reports to families and professionals, the Support Department ensures transparency in financial management and builds trust. Furthermore, the Support Department collects feedback from families and professionals and provides this feedback to the Management, Detection, and Document Creation Departments to improve services. For example, it provides better service by enriching the content of reports and increasing communication methods based on requests from families. In addition, the Support Department can also handle emergencies. For example, if an unusual expenditure is detected, it immediately contacts the family or professional to encourage a swift response. In this way, the Support Department plays a crucial role in the financial management of the elderly person and facilitates smooth communication with families and professionals.

[0064] The Management Department manages the assets of elderly individuals. For example, the Management Department manages the assets of elderly individuals and implements optimal asset management and expenditure management. Specifically, the Management Department centrally manages the assets of elderly individuals, such as bank accounts, investment accounts, and real estate, and understands the current state of their assets. When proposing asset management methods that take risk diversification into consideration, the Management Department uses AI to analyze market trends and risk factors and construct an optimal investment portfolio. For example, by diversifying investments across different asset classes such as stocks, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs), it maximizes returns while reducing risk. In addition, to select highly profitable investment targets, the AI analyzes past investment data and market trends to identify investment targets that are expected to yield high returns in the future. Furthermore, the Management Department sets budgets for elderly individuals' living expenses and medical expenses and monitors expenditures. For example, it manages monthly living expenses and medical expenses to stay within budget and issues alerts if the budget is exceeded. This prevents the elderly individuals' assets from being wasted and ensures long-term asset preservation. Through these functions, the Management Department efficiently and effectively manages the assets of elderly individuals and provides an environment in which they can live with peace of mind.
[0065] The detection unit detects anomalies based on assets managed by the management unit. For example, the detection unit analyzes regular spending patterns and issues warnings if abnormal spending occurs. Specifically, it uses AI to learn from the elderly person's past spending data and model normal spending patterns. For example, it analyzes spending patterns for monthly food, medical expenses, and utility bills, and immediately detects abnormal spending. When analyzing monthly spending history, the AI identifies anomalies based on data from the past few months and issues an alert if spending exceeds the normal range. It can also detect abnormal spending in specific categories by analyzing spending by category. For example, if a large expenditure suddenly occurs in a category that usually consists of small expenditures, the AI will detect the anomaly and issue a warning. Furthermore, the detection unit warns of anomalies by sending alert notifications and email notifications. For example, if abnormal spending is detected, it immediately notifies family members or legal guardians to encourage prompt action. This allows the detection unit to detect fraudulent activity or abnormal spending related to the elderly person's assets early and take appropriate measures.

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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the management unit, detection unit, creation unit, and support unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the management unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and manages the assets of the elderly and performs optimal asset management and expenditure management. The detection unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes regular expenditure patterns and issues a warning if an abnormal expenditure occurs. The creation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates standard contracts and prepares legal documents. The support unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and supports communication with family and professionals and creates and provides periodic reports. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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."
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.

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.
