[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The autonomous vehicle safety system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which an AI agent analyzes past accident data and predicts and warns in real time areas and situations with a high risk of accidents while driving. This system prevents accidents by automatically correcting driving behavior when an accident is predicted. The autonomous vehicle safety system collects and analyzes past accident data. Next, it collects driving conditions and environmental data in real time and integrates this data to predict accident risk. If an accident is predicted, the AI ​​agent automatically corrects driving behavior to prevent an accident. This system is expected to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles and dramatically reduce the accident rate. For example, the AI ​​agent collects and analyzes past accident data. In this case, past accident data includes detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. For example, if accidents frequently occur at a particular intersection, that intersection is identified as an area with a high accident risk. Next, it collects driving conditions and environmental data in real time. This includes vehicle speed, location, surrounding traffic conditions, weather, and road surface conditions. For example, in rainy weather, the road surface becomes slippery, so an increased accident risk is predicted. By integrating this data, the AI ​​agent predicts accident risk. For example, if accidents frequently occur at a particular intersection, the AI ​​agent will issue a warning when approaching that intersection. It can also reduce accident risk by instructing the driver to slow down in rainy weather. If an accident is predicted, the AI ​​agent automatically corrects driving behavior. This includes actions such as sudden braking, lane changes, and speed adjustments. This can prevent accidents. This system is expected to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles and dramatically reduce accident rates. For example, integrating predictions based on past accident data with real-time data enables more accurate prediction of accident risk. In addition, the AI ​​agent's automatic correction of driving behavior reduces the driver's reaction time and prevents accidents. In this way, the safety system of autonomous vehicles can predict accident risk and prevent accidents by automatically correcting driving behavior.

[0029] The safety system for an autonomous vehicle according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a prediction unit, a warning unit, and a correction unit. The data collection unit collects past accident data. The data collection unit can collect data such as traffic accidents, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. For example, the data collection unit collects data on traffic accidents and obtains detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. The data collection unit can also collect data on industrial accidents and obtain detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also collect data on natural disasters and obtain detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit can analyze the data using methods such as statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, and data mining. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the data using statistical analysis to identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the data using machine learning algorithms to identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the data using data mining to identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. The prediction unit predicts accident risk based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The prediction unit can, for example, collect driving conditions and environmental data in real time and integrate this data to predict accident risk. The prediction unit can, for example, collect data such as vehicle speed, location, surrounding traffic conditions, weather, and road surface conditions and integrate this data to predict accident risk. The prediction unit can also predict accident risk based on data collected in real time. Furthermore, the prediction unit can also predict accident risk by integrating past accident data with real-time data. The warning unit issues a warning based on the accident risk predicted by the prediction unit. The warning unit can issue a warning using methods such as voice warnings, visual warnings, and vibration warnings. The warning unit can, for example, issue a warning to the driver using a voice warning. The warning unit can also issue a warning to the driver using a visual warning. Furthermore, the warning unit can also issue a warning to the driver using a vibration warning.The correction unit automatically corrects driving behavior based on warnings issued by the warning unit. The correction unit can correct driving behavior using methods such as speed adjustment, lane change, and braking. For example, the correction unit can adjust speed to reduce the risk of an accident. The correction unit can also change lanes to reduce the risk of an accident. Furthermore, the correction unit can also brake to reduce the risk of an accident. As a result, the safety system of the autonomous vehicle according to this embodiment can prevent accidents by predicting the risk of an accident and automatically correcting driving behavior.

[0030] The data collection unit collects historical accident data. For example, it can collect data on traffic accidents, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. Specifically, it collects traffic accident data, obtaining detailed information such as the location, time, cause, type of vehicle involved, driver's condition, weather conditions, and road conditions. This allows for the identification of traffic accident patterns and common factors. It can also collect industrial accident data, obtaining detailed information such as the location, time, cause, work performed, type of equipment or devices used, and working environment. This provides basic data for evaluating the risk of industrial accidents and implementing preventative measures. Furthermore, it can collect natural disaster data, obtaining detailed information such as the location, time, cause, type of disaster (earthquake, flood, typhoon, etc.), scale of damage, and evacuation status. This provides basic data for evaluating the risks associated with natural disasters and formulating appropriate countermeasures. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can 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 prediction units. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

[0031] The analysis department analyzes the data collected by the data collection department. The analysis department can analyze the data using methods such as statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, and data mining. Specifically, statistical analysis is used to analyze data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, cause, and common factors of accidents. For example, if the accident rate is high at a particular intersection, there may be problems with the intersection's design or signal timing. Machine learning algorithms can also be used to analyze data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of accidents. Machine learning algorithms automatically extract patterns and trends from large amounts of data and build models to predict accident risk. Furthermore, data mining can be used to analyze data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of accidents. Data mining extracts useful information from the data and provides foundational data for evaluating accident risk. This allows the analysis department to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and assess accident risk. Additionally, the analysis department can utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past accident data, they can predict risk fluctuations in specific areas and time periods and formulate future countermeasures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0032] The prediction unit predicts accident risk based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the prediction unit can collect driving conditions and environmental data in real time and integrate this data to predict accident risk. Specifically, it collects data such as vehicle speed, location, surrounding traffic conditions, weather, and road surface conditions, and integrates this data to predict accident risk. For example, if the vehicle speed is too high or the road surface is slippery, the risk of an accident is predicted to increase. The prediction unit can also predict accident risk based on data collected in real time. For example, if the vehicle's sensors detect an obstacle ahead, the unit can predict the risk of an accident based on that information and take appropriate measures. Furthermore, the prediction unit can also predict accident risk by integrating past accident data with real-time data. For example, if past data shows that the accident rate is high under certain conditions, the unit can rate the accident risk highly when those conditions occur in real time. The prediction unit uses AI to analyze this data and simulate multiple scenarios to identify the most likely risk. This allows the prediction unit to predict the risk of accidents with high accuracy and provide information for taking appropriate measures. Furthermore, the forecasting unit can continuously revise its forecast results based on real-time updated data, enabling it to respond to the latest situations. For example, it can instantly update forecast results in response to sudden changes in weather or fluctuations in traffic conditions, supporting appropriate responses. As a result, the forecasting unit can always provide highly accurate risk forecasts based on the latest information, supporting quick and appropriate responses.

[0033] The warning unit issues warnings based on the accident risk predicted by the prediction unit. The warning unit can issue warnings using methods such as voice warnings, visual warnings, and vibration warnings. Specifically, it can issue warnings to the driver using voice warnings. For example, it can alert the driver by playing a voice message such as "There is an obstacle ahead. Please slow down" from the vehicle's speakers. It can also alert the driver using visual warnings. For example, it can visually alert the driver by displaying warning messages or icons on the vehicle's dashboard or head-up display. Furthermore, it can alert the driver using vibration warnings. For example, it can provide the driver with a physical stimulus by generating vibrations in the driver's seat or steering wheel to draw their attention. In this way, the warning unit can quickly provide appropriate warnings to the driver and minimize the risk of accidents. In addition, the warning unit can adjust the type and intensity of warnings according to the situation. For example, it can effectively attract the driver's attention by issuing strong warnings when the risk is high and mild warnings when the risk is low. The warning unit can also use multiple warning methods in combination. For example, by issuing both audible and visual warnings simultaneously, a stronger alert can be given to the driver. This allows the warning unit to provide quick and effective warnings to the driver, minimizing the risk of accidents.

[0034] The correction unit automatically corrects driving behavior based on warnings issued by the warning unit. The correction unit can correct driving behavior using methods such as speed adjustment, lane changes, and braking. Specifically, it can adjust speed to reduce the risk of accidents. For example, if there is an obstacle ahead, the correction unit can automatically reduce the vehicle's speed to reduce the risk of collision. It can also change lanes to reduce the risk of accidents. For example, if the lane ahead is congested, the correction unit can automatically change lanes to maintain smooth driving. Furthermore, it can also brake to reduce the risk of accidents. For example, if an obstacle suddenly appears, the correction unit can automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision. In this way, the correction unit can automatically perform appropriate driving actions to reduce the risk of accidents without requiring driver intervention. In addition, the correction unit can customize how it corrects driving behavior according to the driver's driving style and preferences. For example, if the driver prioritizes safe driving, the correction unit will select more conservative driving actions to minimize risk. If the driver prioritizes smooth driving, the correction unit will select more aggressive driving actions to maintain a comfortable ride. This allows the modification unit to flexibly modify driving behavior in accordance with the driver's needs, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0035] The data collection unit can collect past accident data. For example, the data collection unit can collect data on traffic accidents, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. For instance, the data collection unit can collect traffic accident data and obtain detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. It can also collect industrial accident data and obtain detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect natural disaster data and obtain detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident.

For example, the data collection unit can input past accident data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the data collection.

[0036] The analysis department can analyze the collected data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of an accident.

The analysis department can also use machine learning algorithms to analyze the data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of an accident. Furthermore, the analysis department can use data mining to analyze the data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of an accident. By identifying detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of an accident, it is possible to clearly identify areas and situations with a high risk of accidents. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis department can input the collected data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the data analysis.

[0037] The prediction unit can collect driving conditions and environmental data in real time and integrate this data to predict accident risk.

The prediction unit can also predict accident risk based on data collected in real time. Furthermore, the prediction unit can also predict accident risk by integrating past accident data with real-time data. This makes it possible to predict accident risk more accurately by collecting and integrating driving conditions and environmental data in real time. Some or all of the above processing in the prediction unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the prediction unit can input data collected in real time into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform accident risk prediction.

For example, the warning unit can input high-risk areas and situations into a generating AI and have the generating AI issue warnings.

[0039] The correction unit can automatically correct driving behavior when an accident is predicted. The correction unit can correct driving behavior using methods such as speed adjustment, lane change, and braking. For example, the correction unit can adjust speed to reduce the risk of an accident. It can also change lanes to reduce the risk of an accident. Furthermore, it can apply the brakes to reduce the risk of an accident. In this way, accidents can be prevented by automatically correcting driving behavior when an accident is predicted. Some or all of the above processing in the correction unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the correction unit can input areas or situations with a high risk of accidents into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the correction of driving behavior.

[0040] The data collection unit can collect not only past accident data but also nearby traffic violation data to perform a more detailed risk analysis. For example, the data collection unit can collect traffic violation data to identify areas with a high accident risk. The data collection unit can also analyze traffic violation data to assess the risk at specific times and locations. Furthermore, the data collection unit can integrate traffic violation data to improve the accuracy of accident risk predictions. Thus, by collecting traffic violation data, the accuracy of accident risk predictions can be improved. 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 traffic violation data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the data collection.

[0041] The data collection unit can simultaneously collect environmental data such as weather and time of day when collecting accident data. For example, the data collection unit can collect weather data to evaluate accident risk during rainy weather. It can also collect time-of-day data to evaluate accident risk at night. Furthermore, the data collection unit can integrate environmental data to improve the accuracy of accident risk prediction. In this way, the accuracy of accident risk prediction can be improved by simultaneously collecting environmental data. 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 weather data and time-of-day data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the data collection.

[0042] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data based on the vehicle's maintenance history when collecting accident data. For example, the data collection unit can refer to the maintenance history and collect accident data related to parts with a high risk of failure. The data collection unit can also analyze the maintenance history and collect accident data related to the replacement timing of specific parts. Furthermore, the data collection unit can integrate the maintenance history to improve the accuracy of accident risk prediction.

If an accident is predicted, the AI ​​agent automatically corrects driving behavior to prevent an accident. This system is expected to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles and dramatically reduce the accident rate. For example, the AI ​​agent collects and analyzes past accident data. In this case, past accident data includes detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of the accident. For example, if accidents frequently occur at a particular intersection, that intersection is identified as an area with a high accident risk. Next, it collects driving conditions and environmental data in real time. This includes vehicle speed, location, surrounding traffic conditions, weather, and road surface conditions. For example, in rainy weather, the road surface becomes slippery, so an increased accident risk is predicted. By integrating this data, the AI ​​agent predicts accident risk. For example, if accidents frequently occur at a particular intersection, the AI ​​agent will issue a warning when approaching that intersection. It can also reduce accident risk by instructing the driver to slow down in rainy weather. If an accident is predicted, the AI ​​agent automatically corrects driving behavior. This includes actions such as sudden braking, lane changes, and speed adjustments. This can prevent accidents. This system is expected to improve the safety of autonomous vehicles and dramatically reduce accident rates. For example, integrating predictions based on past accident data with real-time data enables more accurate prediction of accident risk. In addition, the AI ​​agent's automatic correction of driving behavior reduces the driver's reaction time and prevents accidents. In this way, the safety system of autonomous vehicles can predict accident risk and prevent accidents by automatically correcting driving behavior.

As a result, the safety system of the autonomous vehicle according to this embodiment can prevent accidents by predicting the risk of an accident and automatically correcting driving behavior.

[0068] The data collection unit collects historical accident data. For example, it can collect data on traffic accidents, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. Specifically, it collects traffic accident data, obtaining detailed information such as the location, time, cause, type of vehicle involved, driver's condition, weather conditions, and road conditions. This allows for the identification of traffic accident patterns and common factors. It can also collect industrial accident data, obtaining detailed information such as the location, time, cause, work performed, type of equipment or devices used, and working environment. This provides basic data for evaluating the risk of industrial accidents and implementing preventative measures. Furthermore, it can collect natural disaster data, obtaining detailed information such as the location, time, cause, type of disaster (earthquake, flood, typhoon, etc.), scale of damage, and evacuation status. This provides basic data for evaluating the risks associated with natural disasters and formulating appropriate countermeasures. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can 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 prediction units. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

[0069] The analysis department analyzes the data collected by the data collection department. The analysis department can analyze the data using methods such as statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, and data mining. Specifically, statistical analysis is used to analyze data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, cause, and common factors of accidents. For example, if the accident rate is high at a particular intersection, there may be problems with the intersection's design or signal timing. Machine learning algorithms can also be used to analyze data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of accidents. Machine learning algorithms automatically extract patterns and trends from large amounts of data and build models to predict accident risk. Furthermore, data mining can be used to analyze data and identify detailed information such as the location, time, and cause of accidents. Data mining extracts useful information from the data and provides foundational data for evaluating accident risk. This allows the analysis department to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and assess accident risk. Additionally, the analysis department can utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past accident data, they can predict risk fluctuations in specific areas and time periods and formulate future countermeasures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0070] The prediction unit predicts accident risk based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the prediction unit can collect driving conditions and environmental data in real time and integrate this data to predict accident risk. Specifically, it collects data such as vehicle speed, location, surrounding traffic conditions, weather, and road surface conditions, and integrates this data to predict accident risk. For example, if the vehicle speed is too high or the road surface is slippery, the risk of an accident is predicted to increase. The prediction unit can also predict accident risk based on data collected in real time. For example, if the vehicle's sensors detect an obstacle ahead, the unit can predict the risk of an accident based on that information and take appropriate measures. Furthermore, the prediction unit can also predict accident risk by integrating past accident data with real-time data. For example, if past data shows that the accident rate is high under certain conditions, the unit can rate the accident risk highly when those conditions occur in real time. The prediction unit uses AI to analyze this data and simulate multiple scenarios to identify the most likely risk. This allows the prediction unit to predict the risk of accidents with high accuracy and provide information for taking appropriate measures. Furthermore, the forecasting unit can continuously revise its forecast results based on real-time updated data, enabling it to respond to the latest situations. For example, it can instantly update forecast results in response to sudden changes in weather or fluctuations in traffic conditions, supporting appropriate responses. As a result, the forecasting unit can always provide highly accurate risk forecasts based on the latest information, supporting quick and appropriate responses.

[0071] The warning unit issues warnings based on the accident risk predicted by the prediction unit. The warning unit can issue warnings using methods such as voice warnings, visual warnings, and vibration warnings. Specifically, it can issue warnings to the driver using voice warnings. For example, it can alert the driver by playing a voice message such as "There is an obstacle ahead. Please slow down" from the vehicle's speakers. It can also alert the driver using visual warnings. For example, it can visually alert the driver by displaying warning messages or icons on the vehicle's dashboard or head-up display. Furthermore, it can alert the driver using vibration warnings. For example, it can provide the driver with a physical stimulus by generating vibrations in the driver's seat or steering wheel to draw their attention. In this way, the warning unit can quickly provide appropriate warnings to the driver and minimize the risk of accidents. In addition, the warning unit can adjust the type and intensity of warnings according to the situation. For example, it can effectively attract the driver's attention by issuing strong warnings when the risk is high and mild warnings when the risk is low. The warning unit can also use multiple warning methods in combination. For example, by issuing both audible and visual warnings simultaneously, a stronger alert can be given to the driver. This allows the warning unit to provide quick and effective warnings to the driver, minimizing the risk of accidents.

[0072] The correction unit automatically corrects driving behavior based on warnings issued by the warning unit. The correction unit can correct driving behavior using methods such as speed adjustment, lane changes, and braking. Specifically, it can adjust speed to reduce the risk of accidents. For example, if there is an obstacle ahead, the correction unit can automatically reduce the vehicle's speed to reduce the risk of collision. It can also change lanes to reduce the risk of accidents. For example, if the lane ahead is congested, the correction unit can automatically change lanes to maintain smooth driving. Furthermore, it can also brake to reduce the risk of accidents. For example, if an obstacle suddenly appears, the correction unit can automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision. In this way, the correction unit can automatically perform appropriate driving actions to reduce the risk of accidents without requiring driver intervention. In addition, the correction unit can customize how it corrects driving behavior according to the driver's driving style and preferences. For example, if the driver prioritizes safe driving, the correction unit will select more conservative driving actions to minimize risk. If the driver prioritizes smooth driving, the correction unit will select more aggressive driving actions to maintain a comfortable ride. This allows the modification unit to flexibly modify driving behavior in accordance with the driver's needs, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0078] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of accident data collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the data collection unit can delay the collection timing to reduce the user's burden. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the data collection unit can advance the collection timing to obtain more detailed data. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the data collection unit can optimize the collection timing to quickly obtain data. This reduces the user's burden and allows for the acquisition of more detailed data by adjusting the timing of accident data collection based on the user's emotions.

[0142] 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.

[0144] 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.

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.

[0152] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0153] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, prediction unit, warning unit, and correction unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects past accident data using the camera 42 and sensors of the headset terminal 314 and analyzes it using 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.

[0154] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0155] 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.

[0156] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

[0157] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0164] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0165] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0166] 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.).

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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 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.

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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, prediction unit, warning unit, and correction unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects past accident data using the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414 and analyzes it using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. The prediction unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and collects driving conditions and environmental data in real time to predict accident risk. The warning unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and issues voice and visual warnings. The correction unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and automatically corrects driving behavior. 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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."

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
