This data is recorded using smartphones or wearable devices and transmitted to the data collection unit. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can update it in real time. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also collect data on the patient's diet and exercise level. For example, this data can be collected when patients record their meals using a smartphone app or measure their exercise level with a wearable device. The data collection unit stores this data on a cloud server and can link with other systems and departments as needed. This allows the data collection unit to comprehensively understand the patient's health status and build a foundation for providing appropriate care support. In addition, the data collection unit can flexibly respond to specific situations and conditions by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection. For example, for patients whose health is deteriorating, increasing the frequency of data collection allows for a more detailed understanding of their health status. This enables the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes data collected by the data collection department to predict the risk of health deterioration. Specifically, it analyzes collected body temperature and blood pressure data to understand changes in health. The analysis department can use AI to analyze data and predict the risk of health deterioration. For example, AI can compare past and current data to detect abnormal patterns and trends. This allows for early detection of changes in health and appropriate action to be taken. The analysis department can also predict changes in patients' health based on the collected data. For example, it can analyze body temperature and blood pressure data to identify periods and situations where health is likely to deteriorate. Furthermore, the analysis department can utilize past data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can predict fluctuations in health during specific seasons or time periods based on past data and formulate future countermeasures. In addition, the analysis department can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue early warnings. This allows the analysis department 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.
[0032] The notification unit notifies users of necessary precautions and countermeasures based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, if a user's body temperature is elevated, it will send a notification such as, "Your body temperature is elevated. Please stay hydrated and rest." The notification unit can use AI to send notifications based on the analysis results. For example, the AI analyzes the collected data and generates appropriate notifications when it detects abnormal patterns or risks. The notification unit can also notify patients and caregivers of appropriate countermeasures. For example, if there is a possibility of the user's condition worsening, it will notify them to see a doctor as soon as possible. Furthermore, the notification unit can customize the content of notifications. For example, it can adjust the content and timing of notifications to match the individual health condition and lifestyle of the patient. This allows the notification unit to provide more appropriate and effective notifications to patients and caregivers. In addition, the notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can reliably deliver important information using not only smartphone notifications but also voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the notification unit to provide information to patients and caregivers quickly and reliably and support appropriate responses.
[0033] The suggestion department makes specific suggestions for meals, medication, and rest schedules based on information notified by the notification department. Specifically, it suggests meal menus, medication timing, and rest periods tailored to the patient's physical condition and lifestyle. The suggestion department can use AI to make suggestions. For example, the AI analyzes the patient's health status and lifestyle based on collected data to generate optimal meal menus and medication schedules. The suggestion department can also make specific suggestions to improve the patient's health management. For example, if the patient's condition is deteriorating, it may suggest meals rich in specific nutrients or suggest increasing rest time. Furthermore, the suggestion department can customize the suggestions. For example, it can adjust the content and timing of suggestions to match the patient's individual health condition and lifestyle. This allows the suggestion department to provide patients with more appropriate and effective suggestions. In addition, the suggestion department can monitor the effectiveness of the suggestions and modify them as needed. For example, it can monitor whether the suggested meal menus and medication schedules are effective and revise the suggestions if they are insufficient. This allows the suggestion department to continuously support the patient's health management and provide optimal suggestions.
[0034] The task prioritization department automatically prioritizes tasks based on information proposed by the proposal department. Specifically, it lists tasks that caregivers should perform and prioritizes them according to their importance and urgency. The task prioritization department can use AI to prioritize tasks. For example, the AI can automatically list tasks that caregivers should perform based on collected data and proposals, and prioritize them according to their importance and urgency. The task prioritization department can also automatically prioritize tasks to streamline caregivers' work. For example, it can centrally manage tasks that caregivers should perform and prioritize important tasks to improve work efficiency. Furthermore, the task prioritization department can monitor the progress of tasks and adjust task priorities as needed. For example, if a high-urgency task arises, it will review the prioritization of existing tasks and prioritize the high-urgency task. The task prioritization department can also collect feedback from caregivers and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of task prioritization. As a result, the task prioritization department can streamline caregivers' work and provide more appropriate care support to patients.

[0110] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0111] The caregiver support AI agent can estimate the patient's emotions and adjust the content of notifications sent to caregivers based on those estimates. For example, if the patient is stressed, the notification can be concise and provide specific advice to the caregiver on how to reduce stress. If the patient is relaxed, the notification can contain detailed information and offer suggestions to the caregiver on how to maintain the patient's relaxed state. Furthermore, if the patient is anxious, the notification can provide reassurance and suggest specific measures to reduce anxiety. By adjusting notifications based on the patient's emotions, caregivers can respond more appropriately and quickly.
[0112] The AI caregiver support agent can propose an optimal care plan based on the patient's past health data. For example, it can analyze patterns of changes in the patient's condition from past data and suggest focused care during periods when their condition is likely to worsen. It can also understand the patient's eating and exercise tendencies from past data and propose specific meal menus and exercise plans for maintaining health. Furthermore, it can propose a medication schedule tailored to the patient's lifestyle based on past data. In this way, it can provide the most suitable care plan for the patient by utilizing past health data.
[0113] The caregiver support AI agent can estimate a patient's emotions and adjust meal menus based on those estimates. For example, if a patient is stressed, it can suggest a menu using ingredients effective in reducing stress. If a patient is relaxed, it can suggest a menu using ingredients that enhance relaxation. Furthermore, if a patient is anxious, it can suggest a menu using ingredients that promote a sense of security. By adjusting meal menus based on the patient's emotions, it is possible to maintain a better state of health for the patient.
[0114] The caregiver support AI agent can optimize data collection methods based on the patient's living environment. For example, if the patient is at home, data can be collected using sensors within the home. If the patient is out, data can be collected using mobile devices or wearable devices. Furthermore, if the patient is in a hospital, data can be collected directly from medical equipment. This allows for the selection of the most appropriate data collection method according to the patient's living environment, resulting in more accurate data.
[0115] The caregiver support AI agent can estimate the patient's emotions and adjust the rest schedule based on those emotions. For example, if the patient is stressed, it can suggest rest methods that promote relaxation. If the patient is relaxed, it can suggest rest methods that help maintain that relaxed state. Furthermore, if the patient is anxious, it can suggest rest methods that provide a sense of security. By adjusting the rest schedule based on the patient's emotions, it is possible to better maintain the patient's health.
[0116] The caregiver support AI agent can suggest the most suitable care services based on the patient's geographical location. For example, if the patient is at home, it can suggest nearby home care services. If the patient is out, it can suggest nearby medical facilities and pharmacies. Furthermore, if the patient is traveling, it can suggest medical facilities and care services at their travel destination. This allows for the provision of optimal care services based on the patient's geographical location.
[0117] The caregiver support AI agent can estimate the patient's emotions and adjust task priorities based on those estimates. For example, if the patient is stressed, it can prioritize suggesting tasks that are effective in reducing stress. If the patient is relaxed, it can prioritize suggesting tasks that enhance relaxation. Furthermore, if the patient is anxious, it can prioritize suggesting tasks that provide a sense of security. By adjusting task priorities based on the patient's emotions, this can help maintain the patient's health in a better state.
[0118] The caregiver support AI agent can analyze a patient's social media activity and detect changes in their health early. For example, it can detect signs of stress or anxiety from the content a patient posts on social media. It can also understand changes in a patient's physical condition from changes in the frequency and content of their posts. Furthermore, it can detect changes in lifestyle habits from photos and videos that patients share on social media. This allows for early detection of changes in a patient's health through their social media activity, enabling appropriate responses.
[0119] The caregiver support AI agent can estimate the patient's emotions and adjust the timing of notifications based on those emotions. For example, if the patient is stressed, the frequency of notifications can be reduced, and only important notifications can be sent. If the patient is relaxed, detailed notifications can be sent, providing information to help the patient maintain a relaxed state. Furthermore, if the patient is anxious, reassuring notifications can be sent, and specific measures to reduce anxiety can be suggested. In this way, by adjusting the timing of notifications based on the patient's emotions, notifications can be sent at the optimal time for the patient.
[0120] The caregiver support AI agent can optimize the timing of data collection based on the patient's daily rhythm. For example, if the patient has a morning routine, data collection can be concentrated in the morning hours. Similarly, if the patient has a night owl routine, data collection can be concentrated in the evening hours. Furthermore, the frequency of data collection can be adjusted to match the patient's daily rhythm. By optimizing the timing of data collection based on the patient's daily rhythm, more accurate data can be collected.
[0121] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0122] Step 1: The data collection unit collects the patient's medical and lifestyle data. For example, it collects data such as the patient's body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, diet, and exercise level. The data collection unit can collect data such as body temperature and blood pressure recorded by the patient daily, as well as data recorded using smartphones or wearable devices. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and predicts the risk of health deterioration. For example, it analyzes collected body temperature and blood pressure data to understand changes in health. By using AI to analyze the data, it is possible to predict the risk of health deterioration. Step 3: The notification unit notifies the user of necessary precautions and countermeasures based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, if the user's body temperature is elevated, it will send a notification such as, "Your body temperature is elevated. Please stay hydrated and rest." AI can be used to send notifications based on the analysis results. Step 4: The suggestion unit makes specific suggestions for meals, medication, and rest schedules based on the information received by the notification unit. For example, it suggests meal menus, medication timing, and rest periods tailored to the patient's physical condition and lifestyle. AI can be used to make these suggestions. Step 5: The organization unit automatically prioritizes tasks based on the information proposed by the proposal unit. For example, it lists the tasks that a caregiver needs to perform and prioritizes them according to their importance and urgency. AI can be used to prioritize tasks.

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.

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] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.

[0163] 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.
[0164] 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).
[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0170] 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.

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.
[0171] 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.).
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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).

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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, notification unit, proposal unit, and organization unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects the patient's medical and lifestyle data using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and predicts the risk of deterioration of health. The notification unit notifies the patient of necessary precautions and countermeasures based on the analysis results obtained by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The proposal unit makes specific suggestions for meal, medication, and rest schedules by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The organization unit automatically prioritizes tasks by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.

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.
