The suggestion unit can also propose an exercise program. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can propose a care protocol tailored to the person's health condition. For example, the suggestion unit can propose a balanced meal plan based on the person requiring care. The exercise program can propose appropriate exercises for maintaining health. The care protocol tailored to the health condition addresses individual needs. As a result, the autonomous home assistant system according to this embodiment can collect health data, detect abnormalities, send alerts, generate health reports, set reminders, and propose care protocols.
[0030] The data collection unit collects health status data. This health status data includes, but is not limited to, heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. For example, the data collection unit measures heart rate using a heart rate sensor. It can also measure blood pressure using a blood pressure sensor. It can also measure body temperature using a body temperature sensor. Specifically, the data collection unit measures heart rate in real time using a heart rate sensor and collects the data. The heart rate sensor is designed as a wearable device that is attached to the skin and can detect heart rate fluctuations with high accuracy. The blood pressure sensor measures blood pressure periodically and collects the data. Blood pressure sensors come in types that are attached to the upper arm or wrist and are designed with user comfort in mind. The body temperature sensor continuously measures body temperature and collects the data. The body temperature sensor is equipped with a highly sensitive temperature sensor in the part that contacts the skin and can accurately detect even minute temperature changes. As a result, the data collection unit collects health data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature in real time and transmits it to a central database. The collected data is stored on a cloud server, making it accessible to other departments. Furthermore, the data collection unit can adjust the frequency and accuracy of data collection, allowing for flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. For example, if changes in health are predicted, increasing the data collection frequency allows for a more detailed understanding of health status. This enables the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The alert unit detects anomalies based on data collected by the data collection unit and sends an alert. Anomalies include, but are not limited to, rapid changes in heart rate and abnormal blood pressure values. For example, the alert unit detects rapid changes in heart rate and sends an alert. Specifically, the alert unit analyzes the collected heart rate data in real time to detect rapid increases or decreases. If the heart rate exceeds a certain range, the alert unit immediately sends an alert. It can also detect abnormal blood pressure values and send an alert. Blood pressure data is periodically transmitted from the data collection unit, and the alert unit analyzes it to detect abnormal values. For example, if blood pressure exceeds the normal range, the alert unit sends an alert. It can also detect abnormal body temperature and send an alert. Body temperature data is continuously transmitted from the data collection unit, and the alert unit analyzes it to detect abnormally high or low temperatures. For example, if body temperature is abnormally high, the alert unit sends an alert. Alerts are sent to the user's smartphone or home device and communicated to the user through voice, vibration, and visual warnings. This allows the alert unit to quickly detect abnormal health conditions and prompt users to take appropriate action. Furthermore, the alert unit can prioritize alerts according to the type and urgency of the abnormality, and notify important alerts first. In this way, the alert unit can support users' health management and encourage quick and appropriate action.
[0032] The management department generates health reports and sets reminders based on data collected by the collection department. Health reports include, but are not limited to, daily reports, weekly reports, and graphs.

Specifically, the management department analyzes the collected data and compiles it into daily reports. Daily reports include fluctuations and abnormalities in heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, recording the care recipient's health status in detail. Weekly reports track changes in health status and can also be shared with family members. Weekly reports aggregate the data from daily reports to show weekly changes and trends in health status. This allows family members to understand the care recipient's health status and consider necessary actions. Graphs visually display health data, making it easier to understand. The management department graphs the collected data so that fluctuations in heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature can be seen at a glance. This allows care recipients and their families to intuitively understand changes in health status. Furthermore, the management department can set reminders to encourage regular health checks and medication adherence. These reminders are sent to smartphones and home devices, and communicated to the user through voice, vibration, and visual alerts. This allows the management department to support the health management of those requiring care, ensuring they don't forget regular health checks and medication.
[0033] The proposal department proposes care protocols based on data collected by the data collection department. These protocols may include, but are not limited to, dietary management and exercise programs. For example, the proposal department might propose a dietary management protocol based on the health status of the person requiring care. Specifically, it analyzes the collected data and creates a meal plan optimized for the person's health. This meal plan includes nutritional balance, calorie intake, and meal timing to support the person's health maintenance. It can also propose exercise programs. The proposal department creates exercise programs tailored to the person's physical strength and health status and proposes appropriate exercises. These programs may include light stretching, walking, and strength training to support the person's physical fitness and health promotion. It can also propose care protocols tailored to health status. The proposal department creates care protocols that address the individual needs of the person requiring care and proposes appropriate care methods. For example, it can propose special care or rehabilitation programs tailored to specific health conditions or symptoms. This allows the proposal department to optimally manage the health status of the person requiring care and provide care protocols that meet individual needs. Furthermore, the proposal department can evaluate the effectiveness of care protocols based on the collected data and modify them as needed. This allows the proposal department to always provide optimal care protocols based on the latest information, supporting the health maintenance of those requiring care.
[0034] The alert unit can detect abnormalities based on data obtained from sensors and send alerts to family members or medical professionals in emergencies.

[0182] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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).
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.).
[0195] 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.
[0196] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 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. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0197] 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.
[0198] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, alert unit, management unit, proposal unit, communication support unit, mental health support unit, and personalized care plan unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects health status data using the sensors of the robot 414. The alert unit detects abnormalities using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and sends an alert. The management unit generates a health report and sets a reminder using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The proposal unit proposes a care protocol using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The communication support unit provides video call and chat functions using the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The mental health support unit checks stress levels using the sensors of the robot 414 and the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides relaxation and counseling resources. The personalized care plan unit provides a care plan using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
[0203] 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.
[0204] 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."
[0205] 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.
[0206] 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.
[0207] 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.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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.
[0210] 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.
[0211] 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.
[0212] 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.
[0213] 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.
[0214] 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.
[0215] 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.
