For example, the feedback unit can input the user's social media data into an AI, which can then suggest methods of advice.
[0090] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0091] The reception desk can refer to the user's past medical history to complete the input data when receiving the user's symptom data. For example, if the user has suffered from a specific illness in the past, it can automatically complete the symptoms related to that illness. The reception desk can also improve the accuracy of the input data based on the user's past diagnostic results. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the user's past medical history to verify the consistency of the input data. By referring to past medical history, the accuracy and consistency of the input data are improved, and the reliability of the diagnosis is enhanced.
[0092] The analysis unit can adjust the analysis results by taking into account the user's lifestyle data when analyzing symptom data. For example, if the user is a smoker, the likelihood of smoking-related diseases can be increased. Conversely, if the user exercises regularly, the likelihood of diseases related to lack of exercise can be decreased. Furthermore, the likelihood of diseases related to nutritional deficiencies or excesses can be adjusted by considering the user's dietary data. In this way, by considering lifestyle data, the accuracy of the analysis results is improved, enabling more appropriate diagnoses.
[0093] The service provider can propose treatment options while considering the user's health insurance information when providing diagnostic results. For example, if the user is enrolled in a specific health insurance plan, the service provider will prioritize suggesting treatment options covered by that plan. Furthermore, if the user desires a treatment option not covered by insurance, the service provider can also provide information on the cost of that treatment. In addition, based on the user's insurance information, the service provider can provide information on the nearest insurance-covered medical facilities. This allows the service provider to propose the most suitable treatment option for the user by considering their health insurance information.
[0094] The feedback unit can adjust the input content when receiving user symptom data, taking into account the user's current activity level. For example, if the user is exercising, symptoms related to exercise will be prioritized. Similarly, if the user is at work, symptoms related to work-related stress and fatigue can be prioritized. Furthermore, if the user is on vacation, symptoms related to the environment of their travel destination can be prioritized. By considering the user's current activity level, the accuracy of the input content is improved, enabling a more appropriate diagnosis.
[0095] The reception desk can complete the input data by considering the user's family history when receiving the user's symptom data. For example, if a user's family has a specific genetic disorder, the system can automatically complete the symptoms related to that disorder. It can also improve the accuracy of the input data based on the user's family history. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the user's family history to verify the consistency of the input data. By considering family history, the accuracy and consistency of the input data are improved, and the reliability of the diagnosis is enhanced.
[0096] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of inputting symptom data based on that estimation. For example, if the user is stressed, it may prompt them to input using simple questions. If the user is relaxed, it may request more detailed input. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it may suggest a method for quick input. By adjusting the input method according to the user's emotions, the accuracy and efficiency of input are improved.
[0097] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how the analysis results are presented based on those estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can present concise and easy-to-understand results. If the user is relaxed, it can present detailed analysis results. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can present the results in a format that can be quickly understood. By adjusting how the analysis results are presented according to the user's emotions, the results become easier for the user to understand.
[0098] The system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the treatment suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can suggest a concise and specific treatment. If the user is relaxed, it can suggest a treatment with detailed explanations. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can suggest a treatment that can be implemented quickly. By adjusting the treatment suggestions according to the user's emotions, the system makes it easier for the user to understand the treatment.
[0099] The feedback unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of medical advice based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can provide advice on how to relax. If the user is relaxed, it can also provide detailed health management advice. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide advice that can be acted upon quickly. By adjusting the content of medical advice according to the user's emotions, the advice becomes more readily accepted by the user.
[0100] The system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method of the diagnostic results based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the notification will be less intense. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, a more detailed notification may be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a faster notification method may be chosen. By adjusting the notification method of the diagnostic results according to the user's emotions, the system makes it easier for the user to accept the notifications.
[0101] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0102] Step 1: The reception desk accepts symptom data provided by the user. This symptom data may include, for example, fever, cough, and headache. The reception desk accepts symptom data in various formats, including text, voice input, and image data. For example, the user can describe their symptoms verbally, and this will be converted into text data. The user can also take a picture of a rash and upload it to the system. Step 2: The analysis unit uses deep learning to analyze the symptom data received by the reception unit. For example, it uses a neural network to analyze the symptom data and identify potential diseases. It also compares the symptom data with an accumulated medical database and identifies diseases that match the symptoms by referring to past diagnostic data and medical literature. Furthermore, the analysis unit transmits the results of the symptom data analysis to the provision unit. Step 3: The provision unit provides the diagnostic results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, it notifies the user of the diagnostic results and provides information on appropriate treatments and medical institutions. Furthermore, it sends the diagnostic results to the feedback unit. Step 4: The feedback unit provides prompt medical advice based on the diagnostic results provided by the service provider. For example, it advises the user on appropriate treatments and lifestyle improvements based on the diagnostic results. It also provides prompt medical advice to the user through a real-time feedback system.
[0103] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0104] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence).

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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and feedback unit, is implemented by, for example, 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 and receives symptom data entered by the user. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the symptom data using deep learning. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and notifies the user of the diagnosis results. The feedback unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides prompt medical advice. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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."
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.

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.
