As a result, the HomeGardenHeroAI agent according to the embodiment can support all tasks in home gardening, such as planting, fertilizing, watering, managing harvest schedules, and pest and disease control.
[0030] The analysis unit analyzes weather and soil data. For example, it can analyze weather data such as temperature, precipitation, and wind speed. Specifically, it collects weather data from weather sensors and the internet, and analyzes this data using statistical methods and machine learning algorithms. It analyzes temperature fluctuation patterns, precipitation forecasts, and the effects of wind speed in detail to identify optimal environmental conditions for plant growth. The analysis unit can also analyze soil data such as soil pH, nutrient content, and moisture content. It collects data in real time using soil sensors and evaluates soil health based on this data. For example, it determines whether the soil pH is suitable for plant growth and suggests adjusting agents such as lime or sulfur as needed. Regarding nutrient content, it analyzes the balance of major nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to optimize the type and amount of fertilizer. In moisture content analysis, it detects dry or wet soil conditions and suggests an appropriate irrigation schedule. Based on this weather and soil data, the analysis unit monitors plant growth. For example, it suggests shading measures if the temperature is too high and instructs additional watering if precipitation is low. If the soil is deficient in nutrients, we advise adding appropriate fertilizers. This allows the analysis unit to perform data analysis to maintain plant health and provide an optimal growing environment.
[0031] The service provider offers gardening advice based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the service provider can instruct users on the timing of watering based on weather data. Specifically, it calculates the amount of water plants need based on temperature and precipitation forecast data and notifies the user of the optimal watering time. For example, it may instruct users to water early in the morning or in the evening on hot, dry days, and advise them to refrain from watering on days when rain is expected. The service provider can also suggest the type and amount of fertilizer based on soil data. It analyzes the nutrient content of the soil and selects the optimal fertilizer according to the growth stage and type of plant. For example, it may suggest adding nitrogen fertilizer if nitrogen is deficient, and advise adding phosphorus fertilizer if phosphorus is deficient. The service provider provides gardening advice in real time. Users can access the application via their smartphones or tablets to receive advice based on the latest weather and soil data. Furthermore, the service provider can learn the user's gardening history and preferences to provide individually customized advice.

This allows the service provider to support users in managing their home gardens efficiently and effectively.
[0032] The diagnostic unit analyzes plant photos to diagnose diseases and suggest modifications to cultivation methods. For example, the diagnostic unit can detect changes in the color and shape of plant leaves, enabling early detection of pest and disease outbreaks. Specifically, when a user uploads a photo of a plant taken with their smartphone, the diagnostic unit uses image recognition technology to detect abnormalities in the color and shape of the leaves. For example, yellowing leaves may indicate nitrogen deficiency, and spots on leaves may suggest the presence of pests or diseases. If the diagnostic unit detects these abnormalities, it will suggest appropriate measures to the user. For example, if there is a nitrogen deficiency, it will advise adding nitrogen fertilizer, and if pests or diseases are suspected, it will suggest using appropriate pesticides. The diagnostic unit can also analyze the plant's health and suggest modifications to cultivation methods. For example, if a plant is absorbing too much water, it will instruct the user to reduce watering frequency, and conversely, if there is insufficient water, it will advise increasing watering frequency. Furthermore, the diagnostic unit also provides suggestions for cultivation methods tailored to the plant's growth stage. For example, it can instruct users to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity during the germination stage and advise providing sufficient sunlight and nutrients during the growth stage. In this way, the diagnostic unit can support users in succeeding in their home gardens by maintaining the health of the plants and suggesting optimal growing methods.
[0033] The proposal department offers suggestions to support gardening in limited spaces. For example, they can propose compact planters and hydroponic systems.

Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the suggestion unit will display the most important suggestions first. In this way, by prioritizing suggestions according to the user's emotions, it is possible to display important information preferentially. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal unit can input user facial expression data into a generating AI, which can then estimate emotions and determine the priority of the proposed content.
[0094] The suggestion function can provide suggestions tailored to the user's lifestyle when proposing a garden in a limited space. For example, if the user is busy, the suggestion function can suggest low-maintenance gardening methods. If the user is a beginner, the suggestion function can suggest easy-to-grow plants. If the user is experienced, the suggestion function can suggest challenging gardening methods. By providing suggestions tailored to the user's lifestyle, more effective garden management becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion function may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion function can input the user's lifestyle data into a generating AI, which can then provide suggestions tailored to that lifestyle.
[0095] The proposal function can propose combinations of different cultivation methods when suggesting gardens in limited spaces. For example, the proposal function can propose a combination of hydroponics and soil cultivation. For example, the proposal function can propose a combination of vertical and horizontal cultivation. For example, the proposal function can propose the use of companion plants. By proposing combinations of different cultivation methods, more effective garden management becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal function may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal function can input data on different cultivation methods into a generating AI, which can then make proposals that combine these cultivation methods.
[0096] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0097] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and select plants based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can suggest plants with relaxing effects. If the user wants to feel more energetic, the analysis unit can suggest plants with brightly colored flowers. Furthermore, if the user wants to feel calmer, the analysis unit can suggest fragrant herbs. This makes it possible to select plants that match the user's emotions, providing a more personalized gardening experience.
[0098] The analysis unit can acquire the user's health data and provide gardening advice tailored to their health condition. For example, if a user has allergies, the analysis unit can suggest plants that will not trigger allergies. If a user is not getting enough exercise, the analysis unit can provide advice on increasing their physical activity through gardening. Furthermore, if a user is undergoing rehabilitation, the analysis unit can suggest light exercise suitable for rehabilitation. This enables gardening advice tailored to the user's health condition, supporting a healthy lifestyle.
[0099] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of gardening advice based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling busy, the service provider can reduce the frequency of advice. If the user is relaxed, the service provider can provide detailed advice. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the service provider can provide concise advice that gets straight to the point. This allows for adjusting the timing of advice according to the user's emotions, enabling more effective support.
[0100] The diagnostic unit can analyze the health of plants while taking their growth rate into consideration. For example, if a plant is growing slowly, the diagnostic unit can provide advice on fertilizer and watering to promote growth. If a plant is growing too quickly, the diagnostic unit can suggest methods to suppress its growth. Furthermore, if a plant's growth rate is uneven, the diagnostic unit can identify the cause and suggest appropriate countermeasures. This enables a diagnosis that takes into account the plant's growth rate, allowing for a more accurate assessment of its health.
[0101] The suggestion function can estimate the user's emotions and, based on those estimates, make suggestions to boost their gardening motivation. For example, if the user is feeling discouraged, the suggestion function can suggest an easy-to-succeed gardening project. If the user wants to feel entertained, the suggestion function can suggest aesthetically pleasing plants. Furthermore, if the user wants to feel a sense of accomplishment, the suggestion function can suggest plants that yield a large harvest. This allows for suggestions that boost motivation in line with the user's emotions, thereby increasing the enjoyment of gardening.
[0102] The analysis unit can adjust the advice given based on the user's gardening experience. For example, beginner users can be provided with basic gardening knowledge and advice on simple tasks. Experienced users can be given advice on more advanced gardening techniques and challenging projects. Furthermore, intermediate users can be given advice on skill improvement. This allows for advice tailored to the user's gardening experience, providing more effective support.
[0103] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how gardening progress is reported based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the service provider can emphasize positive progress reports. If the user is relaxed, the service provider can provide detailed progress reports. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the service provider can provide concise progress reports that get straight to the point. This enables progress reports that are tailored to the user's emotions, resulting in more effective communication.
[0104] The diagnostic unit can analyze the health of plants while considering their genetic information. For example, if a specific gene is responsible for disease resistance, the diagnostic unit can propose appropriate countermeasures based on that information. It can also predict plant growth characteristics based on genetic information and propose optimal cultivation methods. Furthermore, it can utilize genetic information to create plant breeding plans. This enables diagnosis that takes into account the plant's genetic information, allowing for a more accurate assessment of its health.
[0105] The suggestion function can estimate the user's emotions and support goal setting for gardening based on those estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling motivated, the suggestion function can set challenging goals. If the user is feeling anxious, the suggestion function can set smaller, more achievable goals. Furthermore, if the user wants to feel enjoyment, the suggestion function can set enjoyment-focused goals. This allows for goal setting that aligns with the user's emotions, helping to maintain motivation for gardening.
[0106] The analysis unit can consider the user's gardening history and provide advice based on past successes. For example, it can suggest cultivation methods for plants that have been successful in the past. It can also analyze past failures and provide advice to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Furthermore, it can suggest plants that suit the user's preferences based on their past gardening history. This enables advice based on the user's gardening history, providing more effective gardening support.
[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0108] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes weather data and soil data. The analysis unit can analyze weather data such as temperature, precipitation, and wind speed. It can also analyze soil data such as soil pH, nutrient content, and moisture content. Based on the weather data and soil data, the analysis unit monitors the growth status of plants. Step 2: The service unit provides gardening advice based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the service unit can instruct watering timing based on weather data. It can also suggest the type and amount of fertilizer to use based on soil data. The service unit provides gardening advice in real time. Step 3: The diagnostic unit analyzes plant photographs to diagnose diseases and suggest modifications to cultivation methods. For example, the diagnostic unit can detect changes in the color and shape of plant leaves, enabling early detection of pest and disease outbreaks. It can also analyze the plant's health and suggest appropriate countermeasures. Step 4: The proposal team will propose solutions to support gardening in limited spaces. For example, they could propose compact planters or hydroponic systems. They could also propose methods that do not soil balconies or indoor spaces.

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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, provision unit, diagnosis unit, and suggestion unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 and analyzes weather data and soil data. The provision unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides gardening advice based on the analyzed data. The diagnosis unit analyzes photographs of plants using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and makes disease diagnoses and suggestions for correcting cultivation methods. The suggestion unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and makes suggestions to support gardening in limited spaces. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
