[0028] (Example of form 1) The home security system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that enhances home security by leveraging the advanced understanding capabilities of LLM and multimodal AI and their collaboration with surveillance cameras and sensors. This home security system collects data from surveillance cameras and sensors in real time and recognizes the environment using LLM and multimodal AI. If abnormal behavior or an intruder is detected, the system immediately notifies the owner and provides interactive support for effective countermeasures based on environmental analysis. This ensures the safety of the home. For example, the home security system collects data from surveillance cameras and sensors in real time. Cameras capture images of the home, and sensors detect the opening and closing of doors and windows. This data is transmitted to the home security system. Next, the home security system uses LLM and multimodal AI to analyze the collected data and recognize the environment. It detects human movement from camera footage and confirms the opening and closing of doors and windows from sensor data. This allows the system to understand the situation inside the home. If abnormal behavior or an intruder is detected, the home security system immediately notifies the owner. For example, if suspicious activity is detected late at night, a notification is sent to the owner's smartphone. This allows homeowners to instantly become aware of any anomalies. Furthermore, the home security system provides interactive support for effective countermeasures based on environmental analysis. For example, if a homeowner asks, "What should I do?", the home security system will provide specific advice such as, "Contact the police" or "Evacuate to a safe place." This enables homeowners to take appropriate action. This mechanism helps protect the safety of the home. For example, it can be expected to reduce crime rates and shorten emergency response times. It also improves users' sense of security, allowing them to live with peace of mind. In this way, the home security system can protect the safety of the home.
[0029] The home security system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a detection unit, a notification unit, and a dialogue unit. The data collection unit collects data from surveillance cameras and sensors. For example, the data collection unit can collect data from surveillance cameras that capture images of the home and sensors that detect the opening and closing of doors and windows. The data collection unit can collect this data in real time. For example, the data collection unit collects video data from cameras and detection data from sensors. The data collection unit may include AI processing. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data using LLM or multimodal AI. For example, the analysis unit detects human movement from camera footage and confirms the opening and closing of doors and windows from sensor data. The analysis unit includes AI processing. The detection unit detects abnormal behavior and intruders based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the detection unit detects suspicious movements from the analyzed data. The detection unit includes AI processing. The notification unit notifies the owner of the abnormal behavior or intruder detected by the detection unit. The notification unit sends a notification to the owner's smartphone, for example. The notification unit may include AI processing. The dialogue unit provides a response in a dialogue format based on the information notified by the notification unit. For example, if the owner asks "What should I do?", the dialogue unit provides specific advice such as "Contact the police" or "Evacuate to a safe place." The dialogue unit includes AI processing. In this way, the home security system according to the embodiment can protect the safety of the home.
[0030] The data collection unit collects data from surveillance cameras and sensors. Specifically, surveillance cameras continuously film the interior of the home 24 hours a day, collecting video data in real time. The cameras are high-resolution and equipped with night vision, providing clear images day and night. Furthermore, the cameras use wide-angle lenses, covering a wide field of view. Sensors are installed to detect the opening and closing of doors and windows, using magnetic and vibration sensors. These sensors emit signals the moment a door or window is opened or closed, and transmit this data to the data collection unit. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and stores it in a central database in real time. The data collection unit can include AI processing, such as pre-processing video data and filtering sensor data. This allows the data collection unit to provide high-quality data with less noise. In addition, the data collection unit can adjust the frequency and sensitivity of data collection, allowing for flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. For example, by increasing the sensitivity of sensors at night or when away from home, and decreasing the sensitivity during the day or when at home, false detections can be reduced. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and effectively collect data and enhance home security.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses LLM and multimodal AI to analyze the collected data from multiple perspectives. Specifically, it analyzes camera video data and uses image recognition technology to detect human movement. For example, it analyzes the posture and movement of people in the video to identify suspicious movements that differ from normal movements. It also analyzes sensor data to check the opening and closing of doors and windows. By analyzing the changes in sensor data over time, it can detect abnormal opening and closing patterns. Because the analysis unit includes AI processing, it can analyze data quickly and understand the situation in real time. Furthermore, the analysis unit can learn patterns of abnormal behavior by utilizing past data and statistical information, and predict future risks. For example, based on data from past intrusion incidents, it can evaluate the risk at specific times and locations and propose preventative measures. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data early and issue warnings. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze collected data, strengthening home security.
[0032] The detection unit detects abnormal behavior and intruders based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses an AI-based anomaly detection algorithm to detect suspicious movements from the analyzed data. For example, if the movement of a person detected from camera footage differs from the normal pattern, the detection unit will determine that movement is abnormal. It also detects suspicious opening and closing of doors and windows from sensor data. For example, if a door is opened or closed in the middle of the night, or if a window that is not normally used is opened, the detection unit will determine that it is abnormal. The detection unit can detect these anomalies in real time and respond immediately. Furthermore, the detection unit can learn patterns of abnormal behavior based on past data and statistical information and predict future risks. For example, it can analyze the frequency of abnormal behavior occurring at specific times and locations to identify high-risk times and locations. This allows the detection unit to enhance home security and detect abnormal behavior and intruders at an early stage.
[0033] The notification unit notifies the owner of abnormal behavior or intruders detected by the detection unit. Specifically, it uses communication methods such as push notifications, SMS, and email to send notifications to the owner's smartphone. For example, if abnormal behavior is detected while the owner is away from home, a notification will be sent to their smartphone in real time. The notification will include details of the abnormal behavior, video data, and sensor data, allowing the owner to immediately check the situation. Furthermore, because the notification unit incorporates AI processing, it can automatically generate notification content and send it at the appropriate time. For example, it can send a notification immediately after abnormal behavior is detected, and then send a follow-up notification after the owner has confirmed the initial notification. The notification unit can also collect feedback from the owner and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the notification content. For example, by providing feedback on the notification content, the notification unit can adjust the notification content based on that feedback to provide more effective notifications. In this way, the notification unit can provide owners with quick and accurate information and enhance home security.
[0034] The dialogue unit provides solutions in a conversational format based on information notified by the notification unit. Specifically, when the owner asks a question in a conversational format via a smartphone or other device, the dialogue unit uses AI to provide an appropriate answer. For example, if the owner asks "What should I do?", the dialogue unit will provide specific advice such as "Contact the police" or "Evacuate to a safe place." The dialogue unit uses natural language processing technology to understand the owner's question and generate an appropriate answer. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can learn from past conversation history and the owner's behavior patterns to provide more personalized advice. For example, if the owner has previously selected a particular solution, the dialogue unit will suggest the same solution in a similar situation based on that history. The dialogue unit also allows for flexible responses by presenting multiple solutions and allowing the owner to choose. This enables the dialogue unit to provide owners with quick and appropriate solutions, thereby enhancing home security.
[0035] The data collection unit can collect data from surveillance cameras and sensors in real time. For example, the data collection unit can collect data from surveillance cameras that film the inside of a home and from sensors that detect the opening and closing of doors and windows. The data collection unit collects this data in real time. For example, the data collection unit collects video data from cameras and detection data from sensors in real time. This allows the data collection unit to immediately detect anomalies.

For example, the data collection unit can collect data from surveillance cameras and sensors in real time and input that data into AI for analysis.
[0036] The analysis unit can analyze the collected data using LLM or multimodal AI. For example, the analysis unit can use LLM to analyze camera video data and detect human movement. The analysis unit can also use multimodal AI to integrate and analyze camera video data and sensor detection data. This allows the analysis unit to improve the accuracy of data analysis. Specific types and methods of implementing multimodal AI include, for example, integrated analysis of images and text.

It can also focus on collecting data from important areas such as children's rooms and bedrooms. It can also focus on collecting data from external areas such as garages and gardens. This allows the data collection unit to enhance monitoring of important areas by focusing data collection on specific areas. The specific scope and criteria for a particular area could be, for example, the front door or living room. Some or all of the processing described above in the data collection unit may or may not be performed using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data from a specific area within the home into an AI, which can then enhance monitoring of that area.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.

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.).
[0154] 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 data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

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.
[0158] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.

[0162] 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.
[0163] 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).
[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.).
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.
[0174] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, detection unit, notification unit, and dialogue unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit uses the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414 to photograph the interior of the home and detect the opening and closing of doors and windows. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data to recognize the environment. The detection unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which detects abnormal behavior or intruders based on the analyzed data. The notification unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which notifies the owner's smartphone of the detected abnormal behavior or intruder. The dialogue unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which provides specific advice to the owner. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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."
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
