[0028] (Example of form 1) The pet health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system designed to solve the problem of busy pet owners who find it difficult to take their pets to the veterinarian. This pet health management system allows pet owners to post information about their pet's symptoms and daily life into an app, where an AI analyzes the posted data to determine the need for a veterinary visit. Furthermore, the pet health management system continuously learns from the data collected from the app and provides information on seasonal symptoms and prevalent diseases. This makes it easier for pet owners to understand their pet's health and take them to the veterinarian at the appropriate time. For example, a pet owner posts information about their pet's symptoms and daily life into the app. For instance, if a pet has a poor appetite, the owner enters this symptom into the app. This information is then input into the AI. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the input information and determines the need for a veterinary visit. The AI ​​analyzes past data and similar cases to determine the necessity of a visit. For example, if the loss of appetite persists, the AI ​​recommends a veterinary visit. In addition, the AI ​​continuously learns from the data collected from the app and provides information on seasonal symptoms and prevalent diseases. For example, it provides information on seasonal allergies and prevalent infectious diseases, enabling pet owners to take preventative measures. This system makes it easier for pet owners to understand their pet's health and take them to the vet at the appropriate time. Furthermore, even when owners are busy, the AI ​​provides support, allowing them to manage their pet's health with peace of mind. For example, even when an owner is busy with work, the AI ​​can monitor their pet's health and notify them of any abnormalities, enabling early intervention. In this way, an AI system that supports pet health management reduces the burden on owners and is an effective means of protecting pets' health. Thus, a pet health management system makes it easier for owners to understand their pet's health and take them to the vet at the appropriate time.

[0029] The pet health management system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a judgment unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit allows pet owners to input their pet's symptoms and daily condition. By allowing pet owners to input their pet's symptoms and daily condition, the AI ​​can more easily collect data. For example, the reception unit allows pet owners to input their pet's symptoms and daily condition into an app. The app is designed to be user-friendly for pet owners by designing the input screen and data storage methods. The analysis unit analyzes the data entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit performs analysis based on past data and similar cases. For example, the analysis unit performs analysis using statistical analysis of data and machine learning algorithms. The judgment unit determines the need for a veterinary visit based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The judgment unit makes a judgment based on criteria such as the severity and duration of symptoms. For example, the judgment unit recommends a veterinary visit if loss of appetite persists. The provision unit provides information on seasonal symptoms and prevalent diseases based on the results obtained by the judgment unit. The provision unit provides information for pet owners to take preventive measures. For example, the information provider can provide information on seasonal allergies and prevalent infectious diseases. This makes it easier for pet owners to understand their pet's health status and take them to the veterinarian at the appropriate time.

[0030] The reception system allows pet owners to input information about their pets' symptoms and daily routines. This input makes it easier for the AI ​​to collect data.

Furthermore, the entered data is stored in the cloud, allowing owners to access it anytime, anywhere. This allows owners to continuously record their pets' health and provide information quickly when needed. The reception system not only collects data but also includes features to maintain data integrity and consistency. For example, if there are inconsistencies in the entered data or important information is missing, the app automatically displays a warning and prompts the owner to correct it. Additionally, regular reminders are sent to help pet owners remember to enter their data. This allows the reception department to collect accurate and reliable data, improving the overall accuracy of the system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit performs analysis based on past data and similar cases. For example, the analysis unit uses statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms to perform analysis. Specifically, statistical analysis analyzes patterns of pet symptoms and behavior to detect signs of abnormalities. For example, it statistically analyzes data such as loss of appetite, weight loss, and abnormal behavior to clarify the frequency and correlation of abnormalities. By using machine learning algorithms, it can learn from past data and perform analysis with high accuracy on new data. For example, it can use deep learning-based image analysis technology to evaluate the health status of pets from photos and videos. Furthermore, it can use natural language processing technology to analyze text data entered by pet owners to understand the details of symptoms and behaviors. By combining these technologies, the analysis unit can comprehensively evaluate the health status of pets and use this to help in the early detection and prevention of abnormalities. In addition, the analysis unit has a data visualization function, displaying analysis results in graphs and charts so that pet owners can understand their pet's health status at a glance. This allows the analysis unit to provide pet owners with easy-to-understand and useful information, supporting them in managing their pets' health.

[0032] The assessment unit determines the need for a veterinary visit based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. The assessment unit makes its decision based on criteria such as the severity and duration of symptoms. For example, the assessment unit recommends a veterinary visit if loss of appetite persists. Specifically, the assessment unit evaluates the pet's health condition based on data provided by the analysis unit and determines whether there are any signs of abnormality. For example, it analyzes the pet's biological data such as body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate, and determines that there may be an abnormality if it falls outside the normal range. It also considers the pet's behavioral data and the duration of symptoms to evaluate the severity of the abnormality. For example, it recommends a veterinary visit if loss of appetite persists for several days or if abnormal behavior is frequently observed. Based on these criteria, the assessment unit comprehensively evaluates the pet's health condition and determines the appropriate course of action. The assessment unit also provides specific advice and instructions to the owner. For example, if the pet's symptoms are mild, it advises on home care methods and precautions, and if the symptoms are severe, it instructs the owner to take the pet to a veterinarian immediately. This allows the diagnostic unit to support pet owners in managing their pets' health at the appropriate time. Furthermore, the diagnostic unit can analyze trends in pet health based on past data and similar cases, and predict future risks. This enables pet owners to manage their pets' health over the long term and take preventative measures.

[0033] The information provider will provide information on seasonal symptoms and prevalent diseases based on the results obtained by the assessment unit. The information provider will also provide information to help pet owners take preventative measures. For example, the information provider will provide information on seasonal allergies and prevalent infectious diseases. Specifically, the information provider will provide information on diseases and symptoms that pets are prone to depending on seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. For example, it will provide information on diseases and symptoms to be aware of each season, such as hay fever and allergies in spring, heatstroke and parasites in summer, skin diseases and digestive problems in autumn, and colds and arthritis in winter. It will also provide the latest information on prevalent infectious diseases and advise on preventative measures and treatment methods. For example, it will provide information on symptoms, preventative measures, and treatments for infectious diseases such as influenza, norovirus, and parvovirus. The information provider will utilize in-app notifications, email, and social media to provide this information to pet owners in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, when there is a change of season or signs of an outbreak are observed, information will be provided via in-app push notifications and email so that pet owners can respond quickly. Furthermore, the service provider could consider distributing regular newsletters and blog posts to continuously provide pet owners with information useful for managing their pets' health. This would allow the service provider to support pet owners in staying informed about their pets' health and taking appropriate preventative measures. In addition, the service provider could collect feedback from pet owners and continuously improve the quality and content of the information they provide.

[0099] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0100] The reception unit can provide a voice input function when pet owners enter information about their pet's symptoms and daily life. For example, when a pet owner describes their pet's symptoms verbally into the app, the reception unit converts the voice data into text and sends it to the analysis unit. The reception unit can also analyze the tone and speed of the pet owner's voice during voice input to estimate the pet owner's emotions. For example, if the pet owner's voice is unstable, the reception unit will estimate their emotions and send it to the analysis unit. This allows pet owners to report their pet's symptoms more easily by using voice input, and the emotion estimation function can be used to improve the accuracy of the analysis.

[0101] The analysis unit can consider the pet's exercise data when analyzing its health status. For example, data obtained from an activity tracker attached to the pet can be transmitted to the analysis unit, and the pet's exercise level and activity patterns can be used in the analysis. The analysis unit can also combine the pet's exercise data with symptom data for analysis. For example, if the pet's exercise level suddenly decreases, that data can be compared with symptom data for analysis. This allows for a more accurate analysis of the pet's health status by considering the pet's exercise data.

[0102] The assessment unit can consider the pet's dietary data when determining the pet's health status. For example, the owner can input data on the pet's diet and intake into the app and send it to the assessment unit for use in the assessment. The assessment unit can also combine the pet's dietary data with symptom data to make a determination. For example, if the pet's food intake has decreased, this data can be compared with the symptom data to make a determination. This allows for a more accurate assessment of the pet's health status by considering the pet's dietary data.

[0103] The service provider can provide customized information by referring to the pet's past health data when providing pet health information. For example, it can provide information related to the pet's current symptoms based on the pet's past health data. The service provider can also provide information on preventative measures by referring to the pet's past health data. For example, it can provide information on specific diseases or symptoms based on the pet's past health data. This allows for the customization of the information provided by referring to the pet's past health data.

[0104] The reception system can display input fields tailored to the pet's breed and age when pet owners enter their pet's symptoms. For example, if the pet is elderly, specific symptom input fields corresponding to its age can be added. The reception system can also display input fields related to specific diseases and symptoms depending on the pet's breed. For example, it can display input fields related to diseases and symptoms specific to certain breeds such as dogs and cats. This allows for more accurate information to be entered by customizing the input fields based on the pet's breed and age.

[0105] The analysis unit can estimate the owner's emotions when analyzing the pet's health status and adjust the accuracy of the analysis based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the owner is feeling anxious, the accuracy of the analysis can be increased to provide more detailed results. Conversely, if the owner is relaxed, the accuracy of the analysis can be maintained at a normal level. In this way, by adjusting the accuracy of the analysis according to the owner's emotions, more appropriate analysis results can be provided.

[0106] The assessment unit can estimate the owner's emotions when determining the pet's health condition and determine the need for a veterinary visit based on those emotions. For example, if the owner is feeling anxious, the need for a visit will be judged as higher. Conversely, if the owner is relaxed, the need for a visit can be judged as normal. This allows for more appropriate decisions regarding the need for a visit by judging it in accordance with the owner's emotions.

[0107] The information provider can estimate the owner's emotions when providing pet health information and prioritize the information to be provided based on those emotions. For example, if the owner is feeling anxious, important information will be provided first. Conversely, if the owner is relaxed, general information can be provided. This allows the system to prioritize important information by determining the priority of information provided according to the owner's emotions.

[0108] The reception desk can analyze the owner's past input history when they enter their pet's symptoms and suggest the most suitable input method. For example, it can prioritize suggesting input methods that the owner has frequently used in the past (voice, text, etc.). It can also analyze patterns of symptoms the owner has entered in the past and customize the input fields. In this way, by analyzing the owner's past input history, it can suggest the most suitable input method.

[0109] The service provider can provide pet health information while considering the geographical distribution of pets. For example, it can provide information while considering the climatic conditions of the pet's residential area. It can also provide information on diseases prevalent in the pet's residential area. By considering the geographical distribution of pets, it is possible to provide more appropriate information.

[0110] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0111] Step 1: The reception desk allows pet owners to input their pet's symptoms and daily habits. For example, pet owners use an app to input their pet's symptoms and daily habits. The app is designed to be user-friendly for pet owners through features such as a well-designed input screen and data storage methods. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit performs the analysis based on past data and similar cases. For example, it may use statistical analysis of the data or machine learning algorithms. Step 3: The assessment unit determines the need for a veterinary visit based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The assessment unit makes its decision based on criteria such as the severity and duration of symptoms. For example, it recommends a veterinary visit if loss of appetite persists. Step 4: The providing unit provides information on seasonal symptoms and prevalent diseases based on the results obtained by the assessment unit. The providing unit provides information for pet owners to take preventive measures. For example, it provides information on seasonal allergies and prevalent infectious diseases.

[0137] 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 (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) 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).

[0138] 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.

[0139] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0143] 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.).

[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.

[0145] 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.

The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0147] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, judgment unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.

[0153] 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).

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.).

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, judgment unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the owner inputs the pet's symptoms and daily condition into the app. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where it analyzes the data input by the reception unit. The judgment unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where it determines the need for a veterinary visit based on the analyzed data. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where it provides information on seasonal symptoms and prevalent diseases based on the results obtained by the judgment unit. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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."

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.
