[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that enables rapid detection of anomalies in equipment and products in the manufacturing industry, thereby realizing preventive maintenance and quality assurance. This AI agent system solves these problems by analyzing sensor data and product data in real time and predicting anomalies. For example, the AI agent system collects data from sensors attached to equipment and products in the manufacturing industry. This includes various sensor data such as temperature, vibration, and pressure. Next, the AI analyzes the collected data and detects signs of anomalies. For example, by detecting abnormal patterns in vibration data, machine failure can be predicted. Furthermore, when an anomaly is predicted, the AI agent system proposes the optimal timing for preventive maintenance. This helps to avoid production line shutdowns. For example, by replacing machine parts before they fail, production line interruptions can be prevented. The AI agent system also proposes an optimal schedule for quality control. This helps to improve product quality. For example, by identifying factors that affect quality in the product manufacturing process and performing quality control at the optimal timing, product quality can be maintained.

This is expected to improve production efficiency and quality for manufacturing companies and heavy industry equipment managers. The AI agent system can enable preventative maintenance and quality assurance in manufacturing, supporting the efficient operation of production lines.
[0029] The AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a quality control unit. The data collection unit collects sensor data and product data. The data collection unit can collect various sensor data, such as temperature, vibration, and pressure. For example, the data collection unit can collect temperature data using a temperature sensor. For example, the data collection unit can collect vibration data using a vibration sensor. For example, the data collection unit can collect pressure data using a pressure sensor. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and predicts abnormalities. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected temperature data and detect abnormal temperature changes. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected vibration data and detect abnormal vibration patterns. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected pressure data and detect abnormal pressure changes. The proposal unit proposes the optimal timing for preventive maintenance based on the abnormalities predicted by the analysis unit. For example, the proposal unit can propose the optimal timing for replacing machine parts when an abnormality is predicted. For example, the proposal unit can propose the optimal timing for performing machine maintenance when an abnormality is predicted. The proposal department can, for example, suggest the optimal timing for machine inspection when an anomaly is predicted. The quality control department can propose an optimal quality control schedule based on the preventive maintenance schedule proposed by the proposal department. The quality control department can, for example, suggest an optimal quality control schedule to improve product quality. The quality control department can, for example, identify factors affecting quality in the product manufacturing process and perform quality control at the optimal timing. The quality control department can, for example, suggest a schedule to optimize the frequency of product quality inspections. As a result, the AI agent system according to this embodiment can realize preventive maintenance and quality assurance in the manufacturing industry and support the efficient operation of the production line.
[0030] The data collection unit collects sensor data and product data. Specifically, it can collect various sensor data such as temperature, vibration, and pressure. For example, when collecting temperature data using temperature sensors, sensors are placed at various points on the manufacturing line to monitor temperature changes in real time. This ensures thorough temperature control during the manufacturing process and maintains product quality. When collecting vibration data using vibration sensors, the operating status of the machinery is monitored in detail, and abnormal vibrations can be detected immediately. This prevents machine failures and maintains stable production. When collecting pressure data using pressure sensors, pressure fluctuations during the manufacturing process are monitored in real time, and abnormal pressure changes can be responded to immediately. This ensures product quality and improves the stability of the manufacturing process. The data collection unit centrally manages this sensor data and transmits it to a central database. The database updates the collected data in real time, making it accessible to the analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, the data collection unit also collects product data. Product data includes various parameters during the manufacturing process and product characteristic information. This improves product quality control and traceability, and increases the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process. The data collection unit collects this data with high accuracy, providing a foundation for preventive maintenance and quality assurance in the manufacturing industry.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by the data collection unit to predict anomalies. Specifically, it can analyze collected temperature data and detect abnormal temperature changes. For example, in temperature data analysis using AI, it can detect abnormal temperature increases or decreases by comparing them with past data and identify their causes. In vibration data analysis, it learns the operating patterns of machinery and detects abnormal vibration patterns. For example, the AI can distinguish between normal and abnormal vibration patterns and issue an immediate warning when an anomaly occurs. In pressure data analysis, it monitors pressure fluctuations during the manufacturing process and detects abnormal pressure changes. For example, the AI learns the fluctuation patterns of pressure data and responds immediately when abnormal fluctuations occur. The analysis unit analyzes this data in real time to detect and predict anomalies early. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize past data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past anomaly data, it can predict fluctuations in risk in specific machinery or manufacturing processes and formulate future countermeasures. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect patterns that are different from the norm or abnormal data and 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 proposal department suggests the optimal timing for preventive maintenance based on anomalies predicted by the analysis department. Specifically, it can suggest the optimal time to replace machine parts when an anomaly is predicted. For example, the AI compares past data with the current situation, evaluates the lifespan and deterioration status of parts, and calculates the optimal replacement time. When suggesting the optimal time for machine maintenance, the AI creates an optimal maintenance schedule based on the anomaly prediction results and maintenance history. This maximizes machine utilization and minimizes the risk of failure. When suggesting the optimal time for machine inspection, the AI creates an optimal inspection schedule based on the anomaly prediction results and inspection history. This keeps the machine in optimal condition at all times and prevents unexpected failures. The proposal department makes these suggestions in real time, contributing to increased efficiency and reliability in the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can evaluate the results of maintenance and inspections carried out based on the suggested preventive maintenance schedule and reflect them in future suggestions. This allows the proposal department to consistently provide highly accurate proposals based on the latest information, enabling preventive maintenance and quality assurance in the manufacturing industry.
[0033] The Quality Control Department proposes an optimal quality control schedule based on the preventive maintenance schedule proposed by the Proposal Department. Specifically, it can propose an optimal quality control schedule to improve product quality. For example, it can identify factors that affect quality at each stage of the manufacturing process and perform quality control at the optimal timing. This ensures that product quality remains consistently high. The Quality Control Department can identify factors that affect quality in the product manufacturing process and perform quality control at the optimal timing. For example, it can conduct quality inspections at each manufacturing stage and respond immediately if an abnormality is detected. This ensures product quality and minimizes the occurrence of defective products. The Quality Control Department can propose a schedule that optimizes the frequency of product quality inspections. For example, it can adjust the frequency of quality inspections according to the product characteristics and the status of the manufacturing process to achieve efficient quality control. This allows the Quality Control Department to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process while maintaining product quality. Furthermore, the Quality Control Department can collaborate with the Proposal Department and the Analysis Department to update the quality control schedule in real time. For example, if an abnormality is predicted, it can immediately review the quality control schedule and take appropriate action. This allows the quality control department to provide highly accurate quality control based on the latest information at all times, enabling preventive maintenance and quality assurance in the manufacturing industry.

If the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit can also provide detailed suggestions to identify the cause of anomalies. If the user is in a hurry, the suggestion unit can prioritize suggesting only important anomalies. This allows for quick and detailed suggestions by adjusting the preventive maintenance suggestion method according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI.

[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0108] Step 1: The data acquisition unit collects sensor data and product data. For example, it collects temperature data using a temperature sensor, vibration data using a vibration sensor, and pressure data using a pressure sensor. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and predicts anomalies. For example, it analyzes the collected temperature data to detect abnormal temperature changes, analyzes the vibration data to detect abnormal vibration patterns, and analyzes the pressure data to detect abnormal pressure changes. Step 3: The proposal unit suggests the optimal timing for preventive maintenance based on the anomalies predicted by the analysis unit. For example, if an anomaly is predicted, it suggests the optimal time to replace machine parts, perform machine maintenance, or inspect the machine. Step 4: The Quality Control Department proposes an optimal quality control schedule based on the preventive maintenance schedule proposed by the Proposal Department. For example, they propose an optimal quality control schedule to improve product quality, a schedule to identify factors that affect quality in the product manufacturing process and perform quality control at the optimal time, and a schedule to optimize the frequency of product quality inspections.

[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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).
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and quality control unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects data such as temperature, vibration, and pressure using the sensors of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data to predict anomalies. The proposal unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and proposes the optimal timing for preventive maintenance based on the predicted anomalies. The quality control unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and proposes an optimal quality control schedule based on the preventive maintenance schedule. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
