Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The drive assistant system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes driving data to provide hints for safe driving and supports improvement of driving skills and fuel efficiency. This drive assistant system collects driving data, and a generating AI analyzes that data to provide hints for safe driving. This allows the driver to improve their driving skills. The generating AI also provides advice on improving fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the generating AI can also provide data that can lead to discounts on insurance premiums. For example, the drive assistant system collects detailed data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, frequency of brake use, and fuel efficiency. For example, if the driver frequently uses sudden braking, that data is collected. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected driving data. The generating AI analyzes the driving pattern and provides hints for safe driving. For example, if sudden braking is used frequently, the generating AI advises the driver to avoid sudden braking. The generating AI also provides advice on improving fuel efficiency. For example, by recommending driving at a constant speed, fuel efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, the generating AI can also provide data that can lead to discounts on insurance premiums. The generating AI analyzes the driver's driving data and evaluates the driver's safe driving performance. Based on this evaluation, it can propose discounts on insurance premiums to insurance companies. For example, drivers who rarely use sudden braking and tend to drive at a constant speed are evaluated as having a high record of safe driving and can receive insurance premium discounts. This system allows drivers to improve their driving skills and fuel efficiency. They also enjoy economic benefits, such as discounts on insurance premiums based on their safe driving record. For example, it is expected to reduce the annual accident rate by 20% and improve average fuel efficiency by 15%. The drive assistance system is suitable for drivers of all age groups and is particularly beneficial for drivers who frequently drive long distances. It also leads to increased customer satisfaction and the creation of new business opportunities for auto insurance companies, vehicle maintenance companies, and auto dealerships.This allows the drive assistance system to collect and analyze driving data, provide tips for safe driving, and offer data on insurance premium discounts.
[0029] The drive assistant system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a data provision unit, and a discount provision unit. The data collection unit collects driving data. The data collection unit collects data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel efficiency. The data collection unit measures vehicle speed using GPS data or a speed sensor, for example. The data collection unit measures acceleration using an acceleration sensor, for example. The data collection unit measures brake usage frequency using the number of brake pedal operations or in units of time, for example. The data collection unit measures fuel efficiency using fuel consumption or fuel usage per distance traveled, for example. The analysis unit analyzes the driving data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the driving data using data analysis methods and algorithms, for example. The analysis unit uses driving behavior classification and pattern recognition algorithms to identify driving patterns, for example. The data provision unit provides hints for safe driving based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The data provision unit provides suggestions for improving driving behavior and specific advice, for example. The service provider, for example, advises avoiding sudden braking if the driver frequently uses sudden braking. The service provider also provides advice to improve fuel efficiency by recommending driving at a constant speed. The discount service provider provides insurance premium discount data based on the tips provided by the service provider. The discount service provider also provides insurance premium discount data based on safe driving performance. The discount service provider also proposes insurance premium discounts to drivers who frequently use sudden braking and drive at a constant speed. As a result, the drive assistant system according to the embodiment can collect and analyze driving data, provide tips for safe driving, and provide insurance premium discount data.
[0030] The data collection unit collects driving data. For example, it collects data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel efficiency. Specifically, vehicle speed is measured using GPS data and speed sensors. GPS data identifies the vehicle's position by receiving signals from satellites, and speed is calculated based on this position information. Speed sensors measure the rotation speed of the vehicle's wheels and calculate speed from that rotation speed. Acceleration is measured using acceleration sensors. Acceleration sensors detect the vehicle's forward, backward, left, and right movements, and calculate acceleration based on this data. Brake usage frequency is measured by the number of brake pedal operations and time. A sensor attached to the brake pedal counts the number of operations and collects this data. Fuel efficiency is measured by fuel consumption and fuel consumption per mile. Fuel consumption is calculated based on data from a sensor attached to the fuel tank that measures the amount of fuel used. Mileage is obtained from the vehicle's odometer, and fuel efficiency is calculated based on this data. This allows the data collection unit to collect a variety of data to understand the vehicle's driving conditions in detail. Furthermore, the data collection unit can transmit this data to a central database in real time and integrate with other systems and departments. For example, collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and provisioning departments. 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 department analyzes the driving data collected by the data collection department. For example, the analysis department analyzes the driving data using data analysis methods and algorithms. Specifically, it uses driving behavior classification and pattern recognition algorithms to identify driving patterns. For instance, it uses machine learning algorithms to cluster driving data and identify different driving styles. This allows for the extraction of features such as the frequency of sudden braking and acceleration, and the duration of driving at a constant speed. Furthermore, the analysis department identifies changes and areas for improvement in driving behavior by comparing it with past driving data. For example, if the frequency of sudden braking decreases compared to past data, it can be determined that safer driving has improved. The analysis department can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual driving patterns and abnormal data. This allows for the early detection of driving risks and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. Additionally, the analysis department can build predictive models based on driving data to predict future driving behavior and risks. For example, if a particular driving pattern persists, it can be predicted that the risk of accidents may increase in the future. This allows the analysis department to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and provide information useful for improving driving behavior and risk management.
[0032] The service department provides tips for safe driving based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, it provides suggestions for improving driving behavior and offers specific advice. For example, if a driver frequently uses sudden braking, it will advise avoiding sudden braking. While sudden braking may be necessary to shorten the vehicle's braking distance, frequent use accelerates tire and brake pad wear and worsens fuel efficiency. The service department will provide specific advice on driving techniques and precautions to avoid sudden braking. For example, it will recommend maintaining an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front and slowing down early. It will also provide advice to improve fuel efficiency by recommending driving at a constant speed. Driving at a constant speed helps to keep the engine load even and reduces fuel consumption. The service department will provide advice tailored to specific speed ranges and driving conditions. For example, it will recommend cruising at a constant speed on highways and smooth acceleration and deceleration according to traffic signals and intersection conditions in urban areas. Furthermore, the service department will continuously provide information that helps improve driving behavior and raise driver awareness. For example, it will boost driver motivation by regularly providing feedback on driving data and reporting on areas for improvement and progress. This allows the service provider to offer drivers specific and practical advice, supporting the promotion of safe driving and improvement of fuel efficiency.
[0033] The discount department provides insurance premium discount data based on hints provided by the department. Specifically, it provides insurance premium discount data based on safe driving performance. For example, it proposes an insurance premium discount to drivers who frequently use sudden braking and drive at a constant speed. The discount department evaluates the driver's driving data and scores their safe driving performance. For scoring, evaluation criteria are set for each element of driving behavior (sudden braking, sudden acceleration, speeding, etc.), and points are assigned to each element. Drivers with high overall scores are eligible for insurance premium discounts. Furthermore, the discount department provides drivers with detailed score information and areas for improvement to promote even safer driving. For example, if the frequency of sudden braking decreases, the department reports the results specifically and presents the amount of the insurance premium discount. The discount department also collaborates with insurance companies and shares discount data to realize insurance premium discounts. This allows drivers to receive insurance premium discounts commensurate with their safe driving performance. In addition, the discount department continuously supports drivers in improving their driving behavior to promote safe driving in the long term. For example, driving data could be evaluated regularly, and scores could be updated or discount amounts revised. This would allow the discount provider to offer drivers an incentive for safe driving and help reduce their insurance premium burden.
[0034] The data collection unit can collect data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel consumption. For example, the data collection unit measures vehicle speed using GPS data or a speed sensor. For example, the data collection unit measures acceleration using an acceleration sensor. For example, the data collection unit measures brake usage frequency by the number of brake pedal operations or by time. For example, the data collection unit measures fuel consumption or fuel usage per mile. By collecting detailed driving data, more accurate analysis becomes possible. 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 vehicle speed data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of the speed data.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the collected driving data and identify driving patterns. The analysis unit analyzes the driving data using, for example, data analysis methods and algorithms. For example, the analysis unit uses driving behavior classification and pattern recognition algorithms to identify driving patterns. By identifying driving patterns, appropriate advice can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected driving data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the identification of driving patterns.
[0036] The service provider can provide safe driving tips based on identified driving patterns. For example, the service provider can provide suggestions for improving driving behavior and specific advice. For example, if the driver frequently uses sudden braking, the service provider can advise avoiding sudden braking. For example, the service provider can provide advice to improve fuel efficiency by recommending driving at a constant speed. In this way, safe driving is promoted by providing tips based on driving patterns. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input identified driving patterns into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate safe driving tips.
[0037] The service provider can provide advice on improving fuel efficiency. For example, the service provider can provide advice on improving fuel efficiency by recommending driving at a constant speed. For example, the service provider can provide advice on eco-driving methods and specific driving techniques. In this way, by providing advice on improving fuel efficiency, it improves fuel efficiency. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input data on improving fuel efficiency into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the generation of advice.
[0038] The discount provision unit can provide insurance premium discount data based on safe driving performance. For example, the discount provision unit may offer insurance premium discounts to drivers who frequently use sudden braking and drive at a constant speed. The discount provision unit may also provide insurance premium discount data based on accident avoidance rates and driving behavior scoring. This allows for economic benefits by providing insurance premium discount data based on safe driving performance. Some or all of the above processing in the discount provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the discount provision unit can input safe driving performance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate insurance premium discount data.
[0039] The data collection unit can analyze the driver's past driving history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, if the driver has frequently used sudden braking in the past, the data collection unit will focus on collecting data related to sudden braking. For example, if the driver has preferred driving at a constant speed in the past, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting data related to driving at a constant speed. For example, if the driver has driven long distances in the past, the data collection unit will collect detailed data related to long-distance driving. This enables efficient data collection by selecting the optimal data collection method based on past driving 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 the driver's past driving history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0040] The data collection unit can filter driving data based on the driver's current driving situation and areas of interest. For example, if the driver is driving on a highway, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting highway driving data. For example, if the driver is driving in an urban area, the data collection unit will focus on collecting urban driving data. For example, if the driver is interested in fuel efficiency, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting fuel efficiency-related data. This allows for efficient collection of necessary data by filtering the data based on the current driving situation and areas of interest. 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 the driver's current driving situation data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0041] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the driver's geographical location information when collecting driving data. For example, if the driver is driving in a mountainous area, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of driving data in the mountainous area. For example, if the driver is driving in an urban area, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of driving data in the urban area. For example, if the driver is driving in a suburban area, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of driving data in the suburban area. By prioritizing the collection of highly relevant data based on geographical location information, more useful data can be obtained. 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 the driver's geographical location information data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the priority collection of highly relevant data.
[0042] The data collection unit can analyze the driver's social media activity and collect relevant data when collecting driving data. For example, if the driver posts about driving on social media, the data collection unit can collect driving data based on the content of those posts. For example, if the driver shows interest in a particular driving technique on social media, the data collection unit can collect data related to that technique. For example, if the driver shares information about fuel efficiency on social media, the data collection unit can collect driving data based on that information. This makes it possible to collect data that is tailored to the driver's interests by collecting relevant data based on social media activity. 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 the driver's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect the relevant data.
[0043] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the driving data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on important driving data. For example, the analysis unit performs a simplified analysis on driving data of low importance. For example, the analysis unit applies multiple analysis methods to driving data of high importance. This allows for efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the driving data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input driving data importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0044] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of driving data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit applies a speed fluctuation analysis algorithm to speed data. For example, the analysis unit applies a fuel efficiency analysis algorithm to fuel consumption data. For example, the analysis unit applies a brake pattern analysis algorithm to brake usage frequency data. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of driving data, more accurate analysis becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input driving data category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of different analysis algorithms.
[0045] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the timing of data collection during the analysis process. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of recently collected data. For example, the analysis unit may analyze current driving data while referring to past driving data. For example, the analysis unit may focus on analyzing driving data collected during a specific period. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the timing of data collection. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the timing of data collection into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the priority of analysis.
[0046] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the driving data during the analysis.

[0054] The discount provision unit can adjust the order of discount data based on the relevance of the driving data when providing discount data. For example, the discount provision unit may prioritize providing discount data based on highly relevant driving data. For example, the discount provision unit may postpone providing discount data based on less relevant driving data. For example, the discount provision unit may group highly relevant data and provide the discount data in a batch. This allows for efficient information provision by adjusting the order of discount data based on the relevance of the driving data. Some or all of the above processing in the discount provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

[0061] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0062] Step 1: The data collection unit collects driving data. The data collection unit collects data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel consumption.

[0063] (Example of form 2) The drive assistant system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes driving data to provide hints for safe driving and supports improvement of driving skills and fuel efficiency. This drive assistant system collects driving data, and a generating AI analyzes that data to provide hints for safe driving. This allows the driver to improve their driving skills. The generating AI also provides advice on improving fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the generating AI can also provide data that can lead to discounts on insurance premiums. For example, the drive assistant system collects detailed data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, frequency of brake use, and fuel efficiency. For example, if the driver frequently uses sudden braking, that data is collected. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected driving data. The generating AI analyzes the driving pattern and provides hints for safe driving. For example, if sudden braking is used frequently, the generating AI advises the driver to avoid sudden braking. The generating AI also provides advice on improving fuel efficiency. For example, by recommending driving at a constant speed, fuel efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, the generating AI can also provide data that can lead to discounts on insurance premiums. The generating AI analyzes the driver's driving data and evaluates the driver's safe driving performance. Based on this evaluation, it can propose discounts on insurance premiums to insurance companies. For example, drivers who rarely use sudden braking and tend to drive at a constant speed are evaluated as having a high record of safe driving and can receive insurance premium discounts. This system allows drivers to improve their driving skills and fuel efficiency. They also enjoy economic benefits, such as discounts on insurance premiums based on their safe driving record. For example, it is expected to reduce the annual accident rate by 20% and improve average fuel efficiency by 15%. The drive assistance system is suitable for drivers of all age groups and is particularly beneficial for drivers who frequently drive long distances. It also leads to increased customer satisfaction and the creation of new business opportunities for auto insurance companies, vehicle maintenance companies, and auto dealerships.This allows the drive assistance system to collect and analyze driving data, provide tips for safe driving, and offer data on insurance premium discounts.
[0064] The drive assistant system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a data provision unit, and a discount provision unit. The data collection unit collects driving data. The data collection unit collects data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel efficiency. The data collection unit measures vehicle speed using GPS data or a speed sensor, for example. The data collection unit measures acceleration using an acceleration sensor, for example.

The analysis unit uses driving behavior classification and pattern recognition algorithms to identify driving patterns, for example. The data provision unit provides hints for safe driving based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The data provision unit provides suggestions for improving driving behavior and specific advice, for example. The service provider, for example, advises avoiding sudden braking if the driver frequently uses sudden braking. The service provider also provides advice to improve fuel efficiency by recommending driving at a constant speed. The discount service provider provides insurance premium discount data based on the tips provided by the service provider. The discount service provider also provides insurance premium discount data based on safe driving performance. The discount service provider also proposes insurance premium discounts to drivers who frequently use sudden braking and drive at a constant speed. As a result, the drive assistant system according to the embodiment can collect and analyze driving data, provide tips for safe driving, and provide insurance premium discount data.
[0065] The data collection unit collects driving data. For example, it collects data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel efficiency. Specifically, vehicle speed is measured using GPS data and speed sensors. GPS data identifies the vehicle's position by receiving signals from satellites, and speed is calculated based on this position information. Speed sensors measure the rotation speed of the vehicle's wheels and calculate speed from that rotation speed. Acceleration is measured using acceleration sensors. Acceleration sensors detect the vehicle's forward, backward, left, and right movements, and calculate acceleration based on this data. Brake usage frequency is measured by the number of brake pedal operations and time. A sensor attached to the brake pedal counts the number of operations and collects this data. Fuel efficiency is measured by fuel consumption and fuel consumption per mile. Fuel consumption is calculated based on data from a sensor attached to the fuel tank that measures the amount of fuel used. Mileage is obtained from the vehicle's odometer, and fuel efficiency is calculated based on this data. This allows the data collection unit to collect a variety of data to understand the vehicle's driving conditions in detail. Furthermore, the data collection unit can transmit this data to a central database in real time and integrate with other systems and departments. For example, collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and provisioning departments. 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.
[0066] The analysis department analyzes the driving data collected by the data collection department. For example, the analysis department analyzes the driving data using data analysis methods and algorithms. Specifically, it uses driving behavior classification and pattern recognition algorithms to identify driving patterns. For instance, it uses machine learning algorithms to cluster driving data and identify different driving styles. This allows for the extraction of features such as the frequency of sudden braking and acceleration, and the duration of driving at a constant speed. Furthermore, the analysis department identifies changes and areas for improvement in driving behavior by comparing it with past driving data. For example, if the frequency of sudden braking decreases compared to past data, it can be determined that safer driving has improved. The analysis department can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual driving patterns and abnormal data. This allows for the early detection of driving risks and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. Additionally, the analysis department can build predictive models based on driving data to predict future driving behavior and risks. For example, if a particular driving pattern persists, it can be predicted that the risk of accidents may increase in the future. This allows the analysis department to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and provide information useful for improving driving behavior and risk management.
[0067] The service department provides tips for safe driving based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, it provides suggestions for improving driving behavior and offers specific advice. For example, if a driver frequently uses sudden braking, it will advise avoiding sudden braking. While sudden braking may be necessary to shorten the vehicle's braking distance, frequent use accelerates tire and brake pad wear and worsens fuel efficiency. The service department will provide specific advice on driving techniques and precautions to avoid sudden braking. For example, it will recommend maintaining an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front and slowing down early. It will also provide advice to improve fuel efficiency by recommending driving at a constant speed. Driving at a constant speed helps to keep the engine load even and reduces fuel consumption. The service department will provide advice tailored to specific speed ranges and driving conditions. For example, it will recommend cruising at a constant speed on highways and smooth acceleration and deceleration according to traffic signals and intersection conditions in urban areas. Furthermore, the service department will continuously provide information that helps improve driving behavior and raise driver awareness. For example, it will boost driver motivation by regularly providing feedback on driving data and reporting on areas for improvement and progress. This allows the service provider to offer drivers specific and practical advice, supporting the promotion of safe driving and improvement of fuel efficiency.
[0068] The discount department provides insurance premium discount data based on hints provided by the department. Specifically, it provides insurance premium discount data based on safe driving performance. For example, it proposes an insurance premium discount to drivers who frequently use sudden braking and drive at a constant speed. The discount department evaluates the driver's driving data and scores their safe driving performance. For scoring, evaluation criteria are set for each element of driving behavior (sudden braking, sudden acceleration, speeding, etc.), and points are assigned to each element. Drivers with high overall scores are eligible for insurance premium discounts. Furthermore, the discount department provides drivers with detailed score information and areas for improvement to promote even safer driving. For example, if the frequency of sudden braking decreases, the department reports the results specifically and presents the amount of the insurance premium discount. The discount department also collaborates with insurance companies and shares discount data to realize insurance premium discounts. This allows drivers to receive insurance premium discounts commensurate with their safe driving performance. In addition, the discount department continuously supports drivers in improving their driving behavior to promote safe driving in the long term. For example, driving data could be evaluated regularly, and scores could be updated or discount amounts revised. This would allow the discount provider to offer drivers an incentive for safe driving and help reduce their insurance premium burden.

For example, the discount provision unit can input safe driving performance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate insurance premium discount data.
[0074] The data collection unit can estimate the driver's emotions and adjust the timing of driving data collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the driver is stressed, the data collection unit increases the frequency of driving data collection and collects more detailed data. For example, if the driver is relaxed, the data collection unit decreases the frequency of driving data collection and collects only the minimum necessary data. For example, if the driver is tired, the data collection unit adjusts the timing of driving data collection and also collects data during breaks. This allows for more appropriate data collection by adjusting the collection timing according to the driver's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input the driver's emotion data into the generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the collection timing.
[0075] The data collection unit can analyze the driver's past driving history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, if the driver has frequently used sudden braking in the past, the data collection unit will focus on collecting data related to sudden braking. For example, if the driver has preferred driving at a constant speed in the past, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting data related to driving at a constant speed. For example, if the driver has driven long distances in the past, the data collection unit will collect detailed data related to long-distance driving. This enables efficient data collection by selecting the optimal data collection method based on past driving 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 the driver's past driving history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0076] The data collection unit can filter driving data based on the driver's current driving situation and areas of interest.

For example, if the driver is driving in an urban area, the data collection unit will focus on collecting urban driving data. For example, if the driver is interested in fuel efficiency, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting fuel efficiency-related data. This allows for efficient collection of necessary data by filtering the data based on the current driving situation and areas of interest. 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 the driver's current driving situation data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0077] The data collection unit can estimate the driver's emotions and determine the priority of driving data to collect based on the estimated driver's emotions. For example, if the driver is tense, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting driving data from tense periods. For example, if the driver is relaxed, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting driving data from relaxed periods. For example, if the driver is in a hurry, the data collection unit will prioritize collecting driving data from hurried periods. In this way, important data can be collected preferentially by determining the priority of data according to the driver's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples.

[0078] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the driver's geographical location information when collecting driving data. For example, if the driver is driving in a mountainous area, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of driving data in the mountainous area. For example, if the driver is driving in an urban area, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of driving data in the urban area. For example, if the driver is driving in a suburban area, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of driving data in the suburban area. By prioritizing the collection of highly relevant data based on geographical location information, more useful data can be obtained. 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 discount provider may include detailed explanations for discount data based on important driving data, a brief explanation for discount data based on less important driving data, and evaluations from multiple perspectives for discount data based on highly important driving data. This allows for efficient information provision by adjusting the level of detail in the discount data based on the importance of the driving data. Some or all of the above processing in the discount provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the discount provider can input driving data importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail in the discount data.
[0094] The discount provision unit can apply different discount data provision algorithms depending on the category of driving data when providing discount data.

For example, the discount provision unit can input driving data category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of different discount data provision algorithms.
[0095] The discount provider can estimate the driver's emotions and prioritize discount data based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the driver is tense, the discount provider will prioritize discount data based on driving data during tense periods. For example, if the driver is relaxed, the discount provider will prioritize discount data based on driving data during relaxed periods. For example, if the driver is in a hurry, the discount provider will prioritize discount data based on driving data during hurried periods. This allows for the provision of more appropriate information by prioritizing discount data according to the driver's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI is, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above processing in the discount provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the discount provider can input the driver's emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the priority of discount data.
[0096] The discount provision unit can determine the priority of discount data based on the timing of the driving data collection when providing discount data.

For example, the discount provision unit may provide discount data based on current driving data while referring to past driving data. For example, the discount provision unit may focus on providing discount data based on driving data collected during a specific period. This enables efficient information provision by determining the priority of discount data based on the timing of the driving data collection. Some or all of the above processing in the discount provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the discount provision unit may input driving data collection timing data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of the priority of discount data.
[0097] The discount provision unit can adjust the order of discount data based on the relevance of the driving data when providing discount data.

For example, the discount provision unit may postpone providing discount data based on less relevant driving data. For example, the discount provision unit may group highly relevant data and provide the discount data in a batch. This allows for efficient information provision by adjusting the order of discount data based on the relevance of the driving data. Some or all of the above processing in the discount provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the discount provision unit may input the relevance data of the driving data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the order of the discount data.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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).
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and discount provision unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects data such as vehicle speed, acceleration, brake usage frequency, and fuel consumption using the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected driving data. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides tips for safe driving based on the analysis results. The discount provision unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and provides insurance premium discount data based on the tips provided by the provision 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
