[0028] (Example of form 1) The wildlife behavior analysis system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses AI technology to analyze the behavior of wild animals and proposes efficient capture and processing plans. To address conventional challenges such as delays in information gathering, difficulty in understanding animal behavior patterns, and a lack of efficient capture and processing plans, this wildlife behavior analysis system has the following configuration. First, in the information gathering and analysis step, a portal system is constructed, providing a platform where residents and farmers can post sighting information. Furthermore, generative AI is used to analyze images (footprints, droppings, animal trails) and identify animal species. Generative AI is also used to analyze comments and deepen understanding. Next, in the animal behavior and countermeasures formulation step, the AI analyzes animal appearance patterns and proposes optimal countermeasures. Specific countermeasures include providing support for concrete decision-making, such as optimizing traps and ambush locations. Finally, in the post-capture processing and coordination step, the system collaborates with buyers and conducts preliminary consultations with meat processing companies depending on the likelihood of capture, thereby achieving rapid processing and reducing waste. For example, the wildlife behavior analysis system provides a platform where residents and farmers can post sighting information. For example, residents and farmers can post images of animal footprints, droppings, and animal trails they have seen. Next, the wildlife behavior analysis system uses generative AI to analyze the posted images and identify the animal species. For example, the generative AI analyzes the shape of footprints and the characteristics of droppings to identify a specific animal species. Furthermore, the wildlife behavior analysis system uses generative AI to analyze the posted comments and understand the background and details of the sightings. For example, the generative AI analyzes the content of the comments to identify the behavioral patterns and locations of the sighted animals. Next, the wildlife behavior analysis system uses AI to analyze the animal's appearance patterns and propose optimal countermeasures. For example, based on past sightings and capture data, the AI analyzes the frequency of animal appearances and movement routes and proposes optimal locations for traps and ambushes. Furthermore, the wildlife behavior analysis system makes preliminary inquiries to meat processors depending on the likelihood of capture. For example, if capture is expected, it collaborates with meat processors in advance to ensure rapid processing. In this way, the wildlife behavior analysis system enables the scientific optimization of local wildlife damage control measures and allows for rapid responses.Furthermore, understanding animal behavior can improve capture efficiency, reduce losses through efficient processing, and contribute to the local economy. This means that wildlife behavior analysis systems can scientifically optimize local wildlife damage control measures and enable rapid responses.
[0029] The wildlife behavior analysis system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a processing unit. The collection unit collects information. The collection unit provides, for example, a platform where residents and farmers can post sighting information. The collection unit can collect sighting information, for example, through a website or a mobile app. The collection unit can collect, for example, image information, text information, sensor data, etc., as sighting information. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and identifies the animal species. The analysis unit identifies the animal species by, for example, analyzing images using generative AI. The generative AI can use, for example, technologies such as deep learning or GAN (Generative Opposite Network). The analysis unit identifies specific animal species by, for example, analyzing images such as footprints, droppings, and animal trails. The analysis unit analyzes comments using, for example, generative AI to understand the background and details of the sighting information. The generative AI can use, for example, technologies such as text analysis and sentiment analysis. The analysis unit analyzes the animal's behavior pattern based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes animal appearance patterns using AI, for example. The AI can utilize technologies such as machine learning and deep learning. The analysis unit analyzes behavioral patterns such as frequency of appearance, time of day, and location. The proposal unit proposes optimal countermeasures based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal unit proposes optimal countermeasures using AI, for example. The AI can utilize technologies such as machine learning and deep learning. The proposal unit provides concrete decision support, including the optimization of traps and ambush locations. The proposal unit proposes criteria for selecting installation locations and effective placement methods, for example. The processing unit carries out post-capture processing based on the countermeasures proposed by the proposal unit. The processing unit makes preliminary inquiries to meat processors depending on the likelihood of capture, for example. The processing unit proposes post-capture processing methods such as meat processing and disposal methods, for example. Thus, the wildlife behavior analysis system according to this embodiment enables efficient wildlife damage control by consistently performing everything from information gathering and analysis to behavioral pattern analysis, countermeasure proposals, and post-capture processing.
[0030] The collection unit collects information. For example, the collection unit provides a platform where residents and farmers can post sighting information. Specifically, the collection unit can collect sighting information through websites and mobile apps. The website provides an easily accessible interface for users and includes a form for posting sighting information. The form includes fields for entering the date and time of the sighting, location, and detailed information that helps identify the animal species (e.g., animal characteristics, behavior, surrounding environment, etc.). The mobile app uses GPS functionality to automatically record the sighting location and makes it easy for users to post information. The app also uses a camera function to allow users to directly upload images and videos of sighted animals. The collection unit can collect information such as image information, text information, and sensor data as sighting information. Image information includes evidence such as the animal's appearance, footprints, and droppings. Text information includes comments and detailed descriptions from witnesses. Sensor data is obtained from, for example, motion sensors to detect animal movement and temperature and humidity sensors to collect environmental data. This allows the collection unit to collect a wide range of data from diverse sources and gain a detailed understanding of wildlife behavior. Furthermore, the data collection unit can centrally manage this data and collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and data processing units. Adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection allows for flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This enables the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit to identify animal species. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze images and identify animal species. Generative AI can utilize technologies such as deep learning and GAN (Generative Opposite Network). Specifically, it trains an image recognition model using deep learning to extract animal features from collected images. This allows for highly accurate identification of animal species and individuals. For example, it can analyze images of footprints or droppings to identify specific animal species. Generative AI can also utilize technologies such as text analysis and sentiment analysis. Text analysis analyzes comments from sighting reports to understand the details of animal behavior and sighting circumstances. Sentiment analysis evaluates the emotions and urgency of witnesses to determine priority for response. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze collected data and understand the behavior and appearances of wild animals. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past sighting data, it can predict animal appearance patterns in specific areas and time periods and formulate future countermeasures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The Analysis Department analyzes animal behavior patterns based on the analysis results obtained by the Analysis Department. The Analysis Department analyzes animal appearance patterns using, for example, AI. The AI can utilize technologies such as machine learning and deep learning. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to learn animal behavior patterns from collected data and analyze behavior patterns such as frequency of appearance, time of day, and location. For example, it can grasp the tendency of animals to appear in specific seasons and time periods and build predictive models. This allows the Analysis Department to understand animal behavior patterns in detail and provide basic data for formulating effective countermeasures. Furthermore, the Analysis Department can also detect and predict abnormal behavior. For example, it can detect unusual behavior patterns or abnormal appearance frequencies and issue warnings early. In addition, the Analysis Department can utilize historical data and statistical information to perform long-term trend analysis and risk assessment. This allows the Analysis Department to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0033] The proposal department proposes optimal countermeasures based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. The proposal department proposes optimal countermeasures using, for example, AI. The AI can utilize technologies such as machine learning and deep learning. Specifically, it uses AI to propose optimal countermeasures based on collected data and analysis results. For example, it provides support for specific decisions, including optimizing traps and ambush locations. The AI can learn from past data and successful cases and propose optimal installation locations and effective placement methods. This allows the proposal department to devise efficient and effective countermeasures and minimize damage from wild animals. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. For example, it evaluates the results of implementing proposed countermeasures and reflects them in future proposals. In addition, the proposal department can provide multiple countermeasure options and allow users to choose, enabling flexible responses. This allows the proposal department to provide users with optimal countermeasures and minimize damage from wild animals.
[0034] The processing unit carries out post-capture processing based on the measures proposed by the proposal unit. For example, the processing unit will conduct preliminary consultations with meat processors depending on the likelihood of capture. Specifically, if capture is anticipated, it will coordinate with meat processors in advance to prepare for smooth post-capture processing. It will also propose post-capture processing methods, such as meat processing or disposal methods. For example, if the captured animal is usable as meat, it will propose an appropriate processing method and handle the procedures for handing it over to a meat processor. If disposal is necessary, it will propose and implement an appropriate disposal method that is environmentally friendly. In this way, the processing unit can efficiently and appropriately handle post-capture processing, minimizing damage to wild animals. Furthermore, the processing unit can collect post-capture data and use it for future countermeasures. For example, it can record data such as the type and number of captured animals and the location of capture to help plan future countermeasures. The processing unit can also collect feedback on post-capture processing to improve and streamline processing methods. In this way, the processing unit can continuously improve post-capture processing and enhance the reliability and effectiveness of the entire system.

Some or all of the above-described processes in the processing unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the processing unit can input capture data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform preliminary consultations with meat processors.
[0041] The data collection unit analyzes the user's past posting history when eyewitness information is submitted and selects the optimal posting method. For example, if the user has previously submitted many images, the data collection unit provides an interface that prioritizes image submissions. For example, if the user has previously submitted many text posts, the data collection unit provides an interface that prioritizes text input. For example, if the user has previously submitted voice posts, the data collection unit provides an interface that prioritizes voice input. This streamlines information collection by selecting the optimal posting method based on the user's past posting history. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input past posting history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal posting method.
[0042] The data collection unit filters sighting information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest when the user posts it. For example, if the user is engaged in agriculture, the data collection unit prioritizes collecting sighting information related to crops. For example, if the user owns a pet, the data collection unit prioritizes collecting sighting information related to pets. For example, if the user is interested in nature conservation, the data collection unit prioritizes collecting sighting information related to protected animals. By filtering information based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest, the data collection unit can collect highly relevant information.

[0043] The data collection unit prioritizes collecting highly relevant information when a user posts a sighting report, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the data collection unit prioritizes collecting sighting reports related to that area. For example, if the user is on the move, the data collection unit prioritizes collecting sighting reports close to the user's current location. For example, if the user has been staying in a specific location for an extended period, the data collection unit prioritizes collecting sighting reports related to that location. This improves the accuracy of the information by collecting highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input geographical location data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the collection of highly relevant information.

[0161] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.

[0165] 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.
[0166] 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).
[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.).
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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).

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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and processing unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides a platform where residents and farmers can post sighting information. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses a generating AI to analyze images and comments and identify the animal species. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the animal's behavior patterns. The proposal unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes the optimal countermeasures. The processing unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and performs post-capture processing. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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."
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.

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.
