[0028] (Example of form 1) The harvest support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a technology that assists in making appropriate decisions about the timing of harvest in agriculture. This harvest support system improves the accuracy and efficiency of harvesting by using sensors and AI to analyze the sugar content and color of crops in real time and instructing the appropriate harvest time. For example, by using a goggle-type device, the harvest support system enables even people with little agricultural experience to distinguish the sugar content and color of crops, and enables the AI ​​to make appropriate harvest decisions. This provides many opportunities to improve productivity and profitability for agricultural producers, new entrants, and agribusinesses. First, the harvest support system uses sensors to measure the sugar content and color of crops and transmits this data to the AI ​​in real time. The AI ​​analyzes the received data and determines the appropriate harvest time. For example, it issues a harvest instruction when the sugar content exceeds a certain standard or when the color is suitable for harvesting. In addition, the harvest support system also uses AI to improve the efficiency of harvesting by size. For example, by sorting crops by size and automating the harvest, it realizes efficient harvesting work. This reduces the labor involved in agriculture and enables sustainable agriculture. Furthermore, the harvest support system also contributes to the training of young farmers. By providing the latest technology and training, we aim to realize efficient and sustainable agriculture and promote the development of young talent who will support the future of agriculture. This technology is expected to contribute to improved agricultural productivity, increased yields, and improved quality, and will have a significant impact on the future development of agriculture. As a result, the harvest support system can help in making appropriate decisions about the timing of harvest in agriculture, improving the accuracy and efficiency of harvesting.

[0029] The harvest support system according to this embodiment comprises a sensor unit, an analysis unit, and an instruction unit. The sensor unit measures the sugar content and color of the crop. For example, the sensor unit can use a near-infrared sensor to measure the sugar content of the crop. The sensor unit can also use a colorimeter to measure the color of the crop. Furthermore, the sensor unit can use multiple sensors in combination to simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of the crop. For example, the sensor unit can combine a near-infrared sensor and a colorimeter to simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of the crop. The analysis unit analyzes the data measured by the sensor unit and determines the appropriate harvest time. The analysis unit can analyze the data transmitted from the sensor unit in real time, for example, using AI. The analysis unit can also predict the harvest time with greater accuracy by referring to past harvest data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms for each type of crop. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of tomatoes. The instruction unit issues harvest instructions based on the harvest time determined by the analysis unit. The instruction unit can, for example, provide detailed instructions for the harvesting work procedure. Furthermore, the instruction unit can also provide instructions for sorting and packaging crops after harvest. In addition, the instruction unit can provide training programs to support the development of young farmers. For example, the instruction unit can provide step-by-step instructions for the harvesting process. As a result, the harvesting support system according to this embodiment improves the accuracy and efficiency of harvesting by measuring the sugar content and color of the crops and determining the appropriate harvesting time.

[0030] The sensor unit measures the sugar content and color of crops. For example, to measure the sugar content of crops, the sensor unit can use a near-infrared sensor. A near-infrared sensor irradiates the crop with near-infrared light and measures the reflected light, allowing for non-destructive measurement of the sugar content inside the crop. This technology enables accurate sugar content measurement while maintaining crop quality. The sensor unit can also use a colorimeter to measure the color of crops. A colorimeter irradiates light onto the surface of the crop and measures the color of the reflected light, allowing for quantitative evaluation of the crop's color. This enables a visual assessment of the crop's maturity and quality. Furthermore, the sensor unit can use multiple sensors in combination to simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops. For example, the sensor unit can combine a near-infrared sensor and a colorimeter to simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops. By combining multiple sensors in this way, crop quality can be evaluated from multiple angles, enabling more accurate determination of the harvest time. The sensor unit collects this data in real time and transmits it to the analysis unit. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the entire harvest support system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data measured by the sensor unit to determine the appropriate harvest time. For example, the analysis unit can use AI to analyze data transmitted from the sensor unit in real time. The AI ​​uses machine learning algorithms to learn from past harvest data and environmental data, and compares it with current data to predict the optimal harvest time. Specifically, the AI ​​analyzes changes in the sugar content and color of crops as time-series data to identify the optimal timing for harvesting. The analysis unit can also refer to past harvest data to predict the harvest time with greater accuracy. For example, by analyzing the relationship between the growth pattern of a specific crop and environmental conditions based on past harvest data and comparing it with current data, the accuracy of harvest time prediction can be improved. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms to each type of crop. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of tomatoes. An AI that has learned the sugar content and color change patterns of tomatoes can predict the optimal harvest time of tomatoes with high accuracy. As a result, the analysis unit can determine the optimal harvest time for each crop, improving the accuracy and efficiency of harvesting.

[0032] The instruction unit issues harvesting instructions based on the harvest time determined by the analysis unit. The instruction unit can, for example, provide detailed instructions on the harvesting procedure. Specifically, it can specify the start time, work procedures, and the selection of equipment and tools to be used. The instruction unit can also provide instructions for sorting and packaging the harvested crops. For example, by sorting the harvested crops by quality and providing instructions on appropriate packaging methods, the crops can be efficiently shipped while maintaining their quality. Furthermore, the instruction unit can provide training programs to support the development of young farmers. For example, it can provide step-by-step instructions for the harvesting procedure, enabling even inexperienced farmers to harvest accurately and efficiently. The instruction unit can also monitor the progress of the harvest in real time and modify the instructions as needed, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of the harvest. The instruction unit can utilize devices such as smartphones and tablets to quickly and accurately transmit these instructions to farmers. This allows farmers to check the instructions and take appropriate action anytime, anywhere.

[0033] The instruction unit can optimize harvesting by size. For example, the instruction unit can optimize the harvesting procedure by size. It can also optimize the harvesting procedure by quality. Furthermore, it can optimize the harvesting procedure by crop type. For example, the instruction unit can optimize the tomato harvesting procedure by size. By optimizing harvesting by size, the efficiency of the harvesting operation is improved.

[0034] The sensor unit can measure the sugar content and color of crops using a goggle-type device. For example, the sensor unit can measure the sugar content of crops by equipping the goggle-type device with a near-infrared sensor. It can also measure the color of crops by equipping the goggle-type device with a color meter. Furthermore, the sensor unit can simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops by equipping the goggle-type device with multiple sensors. For example, the sensor unit can simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops by equipping the goggle-type device with a near-infrared sensor and a color meter. This allows for accurate measurement of the sugar content and color of crops using a goggle-type device.

[0035] The analysis unit can analyze data in real time and determine the appropriate harvest time. For example, the analysis unit can use AI to analyze data transmitted from the sensor unit in real time. The analysis unit can update data on a second-by-second basis and perform real-time analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can update data on a minute-by-minute basis and perform real-time analysis. In addition, the analysis unit can use AI with high-speed data processing capabilities to analyze data in real time. For example, the analysis unit can use AI with high-speed data processing capabilities to analyze data in real time and determine the appropriate harvest time. This allows for a rapid determination of the appropriate harvest time by analyzing data in real time.

[0036] The instruction unit can provide training programs to support the development of young farmers. For example, the instruction unit can provide young farmers with a training program that instructs them step-by-step on the procedures for harvesting. It can also provide young farmers with a training program that visually illustrates the harvesting procedures, making it easy to understand visually. Furthermore, the instruction unit can provide young farmers with a training program that reduces the burden on workers by providing voice instructions for the harvesting procedures. In this way, by supporting the development of young farmers, it is possible to cultivate human resources who will support the future of agriculture.

[0037] The sensor unit can dynamically change the measurement parameters according to the crop's growth stage. For example, when the crop is in its early growth stage, the sensor unit can focus on measuring soil moisture content and nutrient status. When the crop is in its mid-growth stage, the sensor unit can also measure leaf color and shape to check its health. Furthermore, when the crop is in its late growth stage, the sensor unit can focus on measuring sugar content and color to determine the harvest time. For example, when the crop is in its early growth stage, the sensor unit can focus on measuring soil moisture content and nutrient status. This allows for the collection of appropriate data by changing the measurement parameters according to the crop's growth stage.

[0038] The sensor unit can add soil nutrient status and moisture content to the data it measures. For example, the sensor unit can measure the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of the soil to understand the nutritional status of crops. It can also measure soil moisture content to determine the timing of irrigation. Furthermore, the sensor unit can measure the soil pH value to maintain an environment suitable for crop growth. For example, the sensor unit can measure the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of the soil to understand the nutritional status of crops. This allows for an understanding of the crop's growing environment by measuring soil nutrient status and moisture content.

[0039] The sensor unit can be equipped with the ability to detect signs of pests and diseases in crops. For example, if abnormalities are observed on the leaves of a crop, the sensor unit can detect signs of pests and diseases. It can also detect signs of pests and diseases if abnormalities are observed on the stems or roots of the crop. Furthermore, the sensor unit can monitor the overall health of the crop and enable early detection of pests and diseases. For instance, if abnormalities are observed on the leaves of a crop, the sensor unit can detect signs of pests and diseases. This allows for early detection of pests and diseases, thereby maintaining the health of the crop.

[0040] The sensor unit can be equipped with the ability to acquire weather data, which can then be used to determine the optimal harvest time. For example, the sensor unit can acquire temperature and humidity data and use that data to determine the optimal harvest time. It can also acquire precipitation data and use that data to determine the optimal harvest time. Furthermore, the sensor unit can acquire wind speed and wind direction data and use that data to determine the optimal harvest time. By incorporating weather data into the harvest time determination process, a more accurate harvest time can be determined.

[0041] The analysis unit can predict harvest times with greater accuracy by referring to past harvest data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze crop growth patterns based on past harvest data. It can also analyze the relationship between weather conditions and harvest time based on past harvest data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can predict the optimal harvest time based on past harvest data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze crop growth patterns based on past harvest data. This improves the accuracy of harvest time predictions by referring to past harvest data.

[0042] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms to each type of crop. For example, it can apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of tomatoes. It can also apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of strawberries. Furthermore, it can also apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of grapes. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of tomatoes. By performing appropriate analysis for each type of crop, the accuracy of determining the harvest time is improved.

[0043] The analysis unit can determine not only the harvest time but also the optimal timing for fertilization and irrigation. For example, the analysis unit can determine the optimal timing for fertilization according to the growth stage of the crop. It can also determine the optimal timing for irrigation according to the moisture level of the crop. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust the timing of fertilization and irrigation according to the health of the crop. For example, the analysis unit can determine the optimal timing for fertilization according to the growth stage of the crop. This allows for the optimization of crop growth by determining not only the harvest time but also the timing of fertilization and irrigation.

[0044] The analysis unit can also propose storage and transportation methods after harvest. For example, it can propose the optimal storage method depending on the type of crop. Furthermore, it can propose transportation methods to maintain the freshness of the crop. In addition, it can propose storage and transportation methods to maintain the quality of the crop. For example, it can propose the optimal storage method depending on the type of crop. This allows for the maintenance of crop quality by proposing storage and transportation methods after harvest.

[0045] The instruction unit can provide detailed instructions for harvesting procedures, thereby improving work efficiency. For example, the instruction unit can provide step-by-step instructions for harvesting. It can also visually represent the harvesting procedures for easier understanding. Furthermore, the instruction unit can provide voice instructions for harvesting, reducing the burden on workers. For instance, the instruction unit can provide step-by-step instructions for harvesting. This detailed instruction improves work efficiency.

[0046] The instruction unit can also provide instructions for sorting and packaging harvested crops. For example, it can provide instructions for sorting harvested crops by size. It can also provide instructions for sorting harvested crops by quality. Furthermore, it can provide instructions for properly packaging harvested crops. For example, it can provide instructions for sorting harvested crops by size. By providing instructions for sorting and packaging harvested crops, it is possible to maintain crop quality and enable efficient shipment.

[0047] The instruction unit can monitor the progress of the harvesting work in real time and modify instructions as needed. For example, the instruction unit can monitor the progress of the harvesting work in real time and modify instructions if delays occur. It can also monitor the progress of the harvesting work in real time and optimize instructions when the work is progressing smoothly. Furthermore, the instruction unit can monitor the progress of the harvesting work in real time and adjust instructions to reduce the burden on workers. For example, the instruction unit can monitor the progress of the harvesting work in real time and modify instructions if delays occur. This allows for real-time monitoring of the harvesting work's progress, preventing delays and enabling efficient harvesting.

[0048] The control unit can optimize worker placement and machine usage to improve the efficiency of harvesting operations. For example, the control unit can optimize worker placement to improve the efficiency of harvesting. It can also optimize machine usage to improve the efficiency of harvesting. Furthermore, the control unit can optimize the coordination between workers and machines to improve the efficiency of harvesting. For example, the control unit can optimize worker placement to improve the efficiency of harvesting. This improves the efficiency of harvesting operations by optimizing worker placement and machine usage.

[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0050] The analysis unit can predict crop growth. For example, it can predict the growth rate of crops and optimize the harvest time. Furthermore, the analysis unit can consider environmental factors affecting crop growth when making growth predictions. In addition, the analysis unit can create a harvest plan based on the crop growth prediction. For example, the analysis unit can predict the growth rate of crops and optimize the harvest time. This makes it possible to optimize the harvest time by predicting crop growth.

[0051] The instruction unit can customize the harvesting procedure. For example, it can customize the procedure according to the worker's experience and skills. It can also customize the procedure according to the work environment and conditions. Furthermore, it can customize the procedure according to the worker's physical condition and fatigue level. By customizing the harvesting procedure, work efficiency can be improved.

[0052] The sensor unit can be equipped with a function to measure the aroma of crops. For example, the sensor unit can use a gas sensor to measure the aroma of crops. It can also use an electronic nose to measure the aroma of crops. Furthermore, the sensor unit can use multiple sensors in combination to measure the aroma of crops. For example, the sensor unit can combine a gas sensor and an electronic nose to measure the aroma of crops. This allows for the determination of the harvest time by measuring the aroma of crops.

[0053] The analysis unit can be equipped with a function to evaluate crop quality. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate not only the sugar content and color of crops, but also their taste and nutritional value. Furthermore, the analysis unit can optimize the harvest time based on the crop quality evaluation. In addition, the analysis unit can propose post-harvest processing methods based on the crop quality evaluation. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate not only the sugar content and color of crops, but also their taste and nutritional value. This makes it possible to optimize the harvest time and propose post-harvest processing methods by evaluating crop quality.

[0054] The instruction unit can be enhanced with a function to provide voice instructions for harvesting procedures. For example, by providing voice instructions for harvesting procedures, the instruction unit can reduce the visual burden on the worker. Furthermore, by providing voice instructions, the worker can receive instructions without using their hands. Additionally, by providing voice instructions for harvesting procedures, the instruction unit can help the worker concentrate on the task. For instance, by providing voice instructions for harvesting procedures, the instruction unit can reduce the visual burden on the worker. This, in turn, improves work efficiency.

[0055] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0056] Step 1: The sensor unit measures the sugar content and color of the crop. For example, a near-infrared sensor can be used to measure sugar content, and a colorimeter can be used to measure color. Alternatively, a combination of a near-infrared sensor and a colorimeter can be used to measure sugar content and color simultaneously. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data measured by the sensor unit to determine the appropriate harvest time. For example, it is possible to use AI to analyze the data in real time and refer to past harvest data to predict the harvest time with high accuracy. It is also possible to apply different analysis algorithms to each type of crop. Step 3: The instruction unit issues harvesting instructions based on the harvest time determined by the analysis unit. For example, it can provide detailed instructions on the harvesting procedure, as well as instructions on sorting and packaging the harvested crops. It can also provide training programs to support the development of young farmers.

As a result, the harvesting support system according to this embodiment improves the accuracy and efficiency of harvesting by measuring the sugar content and color of the crops and determining the appropriate harvesting time.

[0059] The sensor unit measures the sugar content and color of crops. For example, to measure the sugar content of crops, the sensor unit can use a near-infrared sensor. A near-infrared sensor irradiates the crop with near-infrared light and measures the reflected light, allowing for non-destructive measurement of the sugar content inside the crop. This technology enables accurate sugar content measurement while maintaining crop quality. The sensor unit can also use a colorimeter to measure the color of crops. A colorimeter irradiates light onto the surface of the crop and measures the color of the reflected light, allowing for quantitative evaluation of the crop's color. This enables a visual assessment of the crop's maturity and quality. Furthermore, the sensor unit can use multiple sensors in combination to simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops. For example, the sensor unit can combine a near-infrared sensor and a colorimeter to simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops. By combining multiple sensors in this way, crop quality can be evaluated from multiple angles, enabling more accurate determination of the harvest time. The sensor unit collects this data in real time and transmits it to the analysis unit. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of the entire harvest support system.

[0060] The analysis unit analyzes data measured by the sensor unit to determine the appropriate harvest time.

Specifically, the AI ​​analyzes changes in the sugar content and color of crops as time-series data to identify the optimal timing for harvesting. The analysis unit can also refer to past harvest data to predict the harvest time with greater accuracy. For example, by analyzing the relationship between the growth pattern of a specific crop and environmental conditions based on past harvest data and comparing it with current data, the accuracy of harvest time prediction can be improved. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms to each type of crop. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to predict the harvest time of tomatoes.

Furthermore, the sensor unit can simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops by equipping the goggle-type device with multiple sensors. For example, the sensor unit can simultaneously measure the sugar content and color of crops by equipping the goggle-type device with a near-infrared sensor and a color meter. This allows for accurate measurement of the sugar content and color of crops using a goggle-type device.

[0064] The analysis unit can analyze data in real time and determine the appropriate harvest time.

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.

[0114] 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.

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.

[0131] 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.

[0133] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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).

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the sensor unit, analysis unit, and instruction unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the sensor unit measures the sugar content and color of crops using the camera 42 and near-infrared sensor of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the data transmitted from the sensor unit in real time and determines the appropriate harvest time. The instruction unit is implemented in, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which gives instructions for the harvesting procedure and for sorting and packaging the harvested crops. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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."

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.
