[0028] (Example of form 1) The health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that aggregates data collected from smartphones and vital devices in the cloud, and uses AI to analyze that data and check the user's health status. This health management system collects daily vital data and activity data (such as steps) from smartphones and vital devices, sends the collected data to the cloud, and the AI analyzes that data. Based on the analysis results, an agent (AI doctor) residing in a dedicated smartphone app provides advice to the user. This advice is intended to prevent illness and frailty, with a particular emphasis on preventing frailty. Since reduced outings and social isolation are major factors in preventing frailty, the AI doctor aims to improve the situation by encouraging user awareness and increasing motivation. It should be noted that the AI doctor does not perform medical procedures, but only provides advice based on the data. For example, daily vital data and activity data are collected from smartphones and vital devices. In this case, data such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and steps are collected. For example, if the user is wearing a smartwatch, heart rate and step count data are collected from that smartwatch. Next, the collected data is sent to the cloud. In the cloud, the collected data is centrally managed, and AI analyzes it. Based on the collected data, the AI checks the user's health status and checks for any abnormalities. For example, abnormalities may be detected if the heart rate is higher than normal or if the number of steps has decreased sharply. Based on the analysis results, an agent (AI doctor) residing in a dedicated smartphone app provides advice to the user. For example, if the heart rate is high, it may suggest ways to relax, or if the number of steps has decreased, it may recommend going for a walk. In this way, the AI doctor constantly monitors the user's health status and provides appropriate advice to prevent illness and frailty. In particular, since reduced outdoor activity and social isolation are major factors in preventing frailty, the AI doctor encourages user awareness and increases motivation to improve the situation.For example, if a user has not left their home for an extended period, the system will explain the importance of going out and propose a concrete action plan to encourage them to do so. In this way, the system aims to raise the user's awareness of their own health and encourage them to take proactive action. It should be noted that the AI doctor does not perform medical procedures; it only provides advice based on data. If medical treatment is necessary, the system will prompt the user to consult a specialist physician. In this manner, a system that comprehensively supports the user's health is realized. As a result, the health management system can provide comprehensive support for the user's health.

In this way, the health management system according to the embodiment can comprehensively support the user's health status.
[0030] The data collection unit collects data from smartphones and vital devices. For example, it collects data such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and steps. Specifically, it can collect heart rate and step count data from smartwatches. Smartwatches are worn on the user's wrist and use built-in sensors to measure heart rate in real time and count steps. This data is transmitted to a smartphone via Bluetooth and acquired by the data collection unit. The data collection unit can also collect blood pressure data from blood pressure monitors. Blood pressure monitors are worn on the user's arm, and the measured blood pressure data is transmitted to a smartphone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect body temperature data from thermometers. Thermometers are inserted into the user's mouth or armpit, and the measured body temperature data is similarly transmitted to a smartphone. For example, the data collection unit collects heart rate data from a user wearing a smartwatch. The data collection unit can also collect the user's blood pressure data using a blood pressure monitor. The data collection unit can also collect the user's body temperature data using a thermometer. This allows the data collection unit to centrally collect diverse data on users' health status and monitor their health in real time. Furthermore, the data collection unit can centrally manage this data and collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and advisory units. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. As a result, the data collection unit can collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The transmitting unit sends the data collected by the collecting unit to the cloud. Specifically, the transmitting unit can send data to the cloud using Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi provides high-speed and stable communication, making it suitable for rapidly transmitting large amounts of data. The transmitting unit can also send data to the cloud using mobile data communication.

This allows the transmitting unit to quickly and reliably transmit collected data to the cloud, enabling the analysis and advisory units to access the data in real time. Furthermore, the transmitting unit can optimize communication efficiency by adjusting the frequency and priority of data transmission, ensuring that important data is transmitted quickly. This allows the transmission unit to streamline data communication across the entire system and provide a foundation for monitoring the user's health status in real time.
[0032] The analysis unit analyzes the data transmitted by the transmission unit. For example, the analysis unit checks the user's health status based on the collected data and confirms that there are no abnormalities. Specifically, it can analyze heart rate data to check for abnormalities. Heart rate data is processed by an AI-based analysis algorithm, and if a value outside the normal range is detected, it is flagged as abnormal. The analysis unit can also analyze blood pressure data to check for abnormalities. Similarly, blood pressure data is processed by an AI-based analysis algorithm, and if a value outside the normal range is detected, it is flagged as abnormal. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze body temperature data to check for abnormalities. Similarly, body temperature data is processed by an AI-based analysis algorithm, and if a value outside the normal range is detected, it is flagged as abnormal. For example, the analysis unit can analyze heart rate data to check for abnormalities. The analysis unit can also analyze blood pressure data to check for abnormalities. The analysis unit can also analyze body temperature data to check for abnormalities. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and understand the user's health status in real time. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to analyze long-term health trends. For example, it can analyze the user's heart rate variability patterns based on past heart rate data to predict future risks. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns or abnormal data and issue early warnings. As a result, the analysis unit can not only monitor health status in real time but also handle long-term health management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0033] The advice unit provides advice based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the advice unit can suggest ways for users to relax based on the analysis results. Specifically, it can suggest deep breathing, which has the effect of reducing stress and stabilizing heart rate. The advice unit can also suggest meditation, which has the effect of calming the mind and promoting mental relaxation. Furthermore, the advice unit can suggest stretching, which has the effect of relieving muscle tension and promoting blood circulation. For example, the advice unit can suggest deep breathing, meditation, and stretching. This allows the advice unit to comprehensively support the user's health. In addition, the advice unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its advice. For example, it can review and improve the advice based on feedback from users who have received advice. The advice unit can also provide individualized advice tailored to the user's lifestyle and health condition. For example, it can suggest daily exercise to users who are sedentary and suggest relaxation methods to users who are under a lot of stress. This allows the advice unit to provide users with appropriate advice tailored to their individual needs and support the improvement of their health.
[0034] The data collection unit can collect data such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and steps. For example, the data collection unit can collect heart rate data.

For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past health data into a generating AI, which can then select the optimal data collection method.
[0041] The data collection unit can filter data based on the user's current activity status and environment during data collection.

For example, if the user is resting, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting heart rate and body temperature data. Also, if the user is outdoors, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting step count data. For example, if the user is exercising, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting exercise data. For example, if the user is resting, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting heart rate and body temperature data. For example, if the user is outdoors, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting step count data. This allows the data collection unit to collect more relevant data by filtering the data based on the user's current activity status and environment. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's current activity status and environment data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform data filtering.
[0042] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location information during data collection. For example, if the user is at home, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the indoor environment. For example, if the user is out, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the external environment. Furthermore, if the user is at work, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the work environment. In this way, the data collection unit can collect more relevant data by considering the user's geographical location information during data collection. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the priority collection of highly relevant data.
[0043] The data collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect relevant data during data collection. For example, if the user posts about exercise on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting exercise data. For example, if the user posts about health on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting health data. The data collection unit can also prioritize collecting stress-related data if the user posts about stress on social media. For example, if the user posts about exercise on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting exercise data. For example, if the user posts about health on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting health data. For example, if the user posts about stress on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting stress-related data. In this way, the data collection unit can collect relevant data by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generative AI and have the generative AI collect the relevant data.
[0044] The transmitting unit can determine the transmission priority based on the importance of the data when transmitting data. For example, if heart rate data shows an abnormal value, the transmitting unit will transmit it with the highest priority. For example, if step count data is decreasing rapidly, the transmitting unit can transmit it with priority. Also, if body temperature data is within the normal range, the transmitting unit can transmit it later. For example, if heart rate data shows an abnormal value, the transmitting unit will transmit it with the highest priority. For example, if step count data is decreasing rapidly, the transmitting unit can transmit it with priority. For example, if body temperature data is within the normal range, the transmitting unit can transmit it later. In this way, the transmitting unit can transmit important data with priority by determining the transmission priority based on the importance of the data. Some or all of the above processing in the transmitting unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the transmitting unit can input the importance of the data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the determination of the transmission priority.
[0045] The transmitting unit can apply different transmission protocols depending on the type of data when transmitting data. For example, the transmitting unit can apply a real-time transmission protocol to heart rate data. For example, the transmitting unit can apply a protocol to periodically batch transmission of step count data. The transmitting unit can also apply a protocol to transmit body temperature data all at once at the end of the day.

Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input user emotion data into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the priority of the data.
[0078] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location information during data collection. For example, if the user is at home, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the indoor environment. For example, if the user is out, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the external environment. Furthermore, if the user is at work, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the work environment. In this way, the data collection unit can collect more relevant data by considering the user's geographical location information during data collection. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the priority collection of highly relevant data.
[0079] The data collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect relevant data during data collection. For example, if the user posts about exercise on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting exercise data. For example, if the user posts about health on social media, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting health data. The data collection unit can also prioritize collecting stress-related data if the user posts about stress on social media.

[0080] The transmitting unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of data transmission based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the transmitting unit can transmit data immediately. For example, if the user is stressed, the transmitting unit can postpone data transmission. Also, if the user is active, the transmitting unit can transmit data after the activity is completed. For example, if the user is relaxed, the transmitting unit can transmit data immediately. For example, if the user is stressed, the transmitting unit can postpone data transmission. For example, if the user is active, the transmitting unit can transmit data after the activity is completed.

[0081] The transmitting unit can determine the transmission priority based on the importance of the data when transmitting data. For example, if heart rate data shows an abnormal value, the transmitting unit will transmit it with the highest priority. For example, if step count data is decreasing rapidly, the transmitting unit can transmit it with priority. Also, if body temperature data is within the normal range, the transmitting unit can transmit it later. For example, if heart rate data shows an abnormal value, the transmitting unit will transmit it with the highest priority. For example, if step count data is decreasing rapidly, the transmitting unit can transmit it with priority. For example, if body temperature data is within the normal range, the transmitting unit can transmit it later.

For example, the transmitting unit can input the type of data into a generative AI and have the generative AI apply the transmission protocol.
[0083] The transmitting unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the amount of data it transmits based on the estimated emotions.

[0121] 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 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.
[0125] 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.

[0127] 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.
[0128] 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 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.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.

[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.

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.).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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).

[0162] 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.
[0163] For example, each of the multiple elements, including the data collection unit, transmission unit, analysis unit, and advice unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects data from the robot 414's computer 36 and vital devices, and the transmission unit sends the data to the cloud using the robot 414's communication I / F 44. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and the advice unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
