[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] 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.

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 home monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that allows you to check on the condition of elderly parents at any time when they live far away. This home monitoring system can check the movements, heart rate, and changes in body temperature of the parents within their home, and if any problem occurs, the AI ​​will automatically detect it and send an alert. For example, the home monitoring system monitors how the parents are moving in real time through sensors and cameras installed in the parents' home. For example, it can check if the parents are moving from the living room to the kitchen or resting in the bedroom. This allows you to understand the parents' daily rhythm and any unusual movements. Next, the home monitoring system uses sensors that monitor the parents' heart rate and body temperature to monitor their health in real time. For example, if the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high, it can immediately detect the abnormality. This allows you to constantly understand the parents' health condition and respond early if there is an abnormality. Furthermore, the home monitoring system constantly monitors the parents' movements and health condition, and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. For example, if the parents fall or if abnormalities are observed in their heart rate or body temperature, the AI ​​will automatically detect it and send an alert. This allows you to stay informed about the situation of elderly parents living far away and be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. This system is for everyone with elderly parents, and because it allows you to check on the situation of your parents living far away at any time, you can live with peace of mind. In addition, by regularly monitoring, you can keep track of your parents' health and respond early if there is any abnormality. This can improve the quality of life for your parents and increase the sense of security for your family. In short, this home monitoring system allows you to keep track of your parents' situation at all times and respond quickly if any abnormality occurs.

[0029] The home monitoring system according to the embodiment comprises an operation confirmation unit, a health monitoring unit, and an abnormality detection unit. The operation confirmation unit confirms the movements of the parents within their home. The operation confirmation unit monitors the parents' movements in real time, for example, through sensors and cameras installed within the parents' home. The operation confirmation unit can, for example, confirm that the parents are moving from the living room to the kitchen or resting in the bedroom. The operation confirmation unit can, for example, understand the parents' daily rhythm and any abnormal movements. The health monitoring unit monitors the parents' heart rate and changes in body temperature. The health monitoring unit monitors the parents' health status in real time, for example, using sensors that monitor the parents' heart rate and body temperature. The health monitoring unit can, for example, immediately detect abnormalities if the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high. The health monitoring unit can, for example, constantly monitor the parents' health status and respond early if there is an abnormality. The abnormality detection unit detects abnormalities and sends an alert. The abnormality detection unit constantly monitors the parents' movements and health status and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. The anomaly detection unit automatically detects abnormalities such as a parent falling or abnormalities in heart rate or body temperature, and sends an alert. The anomaly detection unit can constantly monitor the parent's condition and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. As a result, the home monitoring system can constantly monitor the parent's condition and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs.

[0030] The motion monitoring unit checks the movements of the parents within their home. For example, the unit monitors the parents' movements in real time through sensors and cameras installed within the home. Specifically, it utilizes multiple cameras and motion sensors placed in key areas such as the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and hallway. These devices detect the parents' movements with high precision and transmit video and motion data to a central management system. The management system analyzes this data in real time to understand the parents' current location and actions. For example, if a parent moves from the living room to the kitchen, the camera tracks their movement, and the motion sensor detects the direction and speed of their movement. This allows the system to understand the parents' daily routines and any unusual movements. Furthermore, the motion monitoring unit learns the parents' movement patterns and can detect movements that deviate from normal behavior. For example, if a parent does not wake up at the usual time or stays in the same place for a long period, it may be considered an abnormality. This allows the motion monitoring unit to understand the parents' daily routines and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs. To protect the parents' privacy, the motion monitoring unit encrypts video data and controls access, providing only necessary information to relevant parties. Furthermore, the motion monitoring unit can record the parent's movements and analyze long-term changes in behavioral patterns by referring to past data. This allows the motion monitoring unit to ensure the parent's safety and enable early detection and response to abnormalities.

[0031] The health monitoring unit monitors changes in the parent's heart rate and body temperature. For example, it uses sensors to monitor the parent's heart rate and body temperature, providing real-time health monitoring. Specifically, it uses wearable devices worn by the parent and sensors installed on beds and chairs. These devices continuously measure vital signs such as the parent's heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and transmit the data to a central management system. The management system analyzes this data in real time to understand the parent's health status. For example, if the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high, an abnormality can be detected immediately. If an abnormality is detected, the health monitoring unit sends an alert and notifies relevant parties. This allows for constant monitoring of the parent's health status and early intervention if an abnormality occurs. Furthermore, the health monitoring unit can record the parent's health data over the long term and analyze changes in health status by comparing it with past data. For example, based on past data, it can predict fluctuations in health status during specific seasons or time periods and take preventative measures. Furthermore, the Health Monitoring Department regularly prepares reports on the parents' health status and provides them to medical institutions and families. This allows the Health Monitoring Department to comprehensively manage the parents' health and enable early detection and response to any abnormalities.

[0032] The anomaly detection unit detects abnormalities and sends an alert. For example, the anomaly detection unit constantly monitors the parent's movements and health status, and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. Specifically, the anomaly detection unit analyzes data transmitted from the motion confirmation unit and health monitoring unit in real time to detect signs of abnormality. For example, if a parent falls, the camera and motion sensor of the motion confirmation unit detect the movement and notify the anomaly detection unit. The anomaly detection unit uses AI to analyze this data, and if it determines that there is a high probability of a fall, it immediately sends an alert. Similarly, it analyzes heart rate and body temperature data transmitted from the health monitoring unit, and sends an alert if abnormal fluctuations are detected. When sending an alert, the anomaly detection unit provides detailed information about the parent's current situation and the nature of the abnormality, and quickly notifies relevant parties. For example, if a parent falls, it notifies the location and time of the fall and the parent's current condition to encourage a quick response. This allows the anomaly detection unit to constantly understand the parent's situation and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, the anomaly detection unit can record past anomaly data and analyze the frequency and patterns of anomalies to take preventative measures. For example, if anomalies frequently occur during specific times or in specific locations, it can identify the cause and implement countermeasures. In addition, the anomaly detection unit can continuously improve its anomaly detection accuracy by utilizing AI learning capabilities. As a result, the anomaly detection unit can ensure the safety of parents and support quick and appropriate responses.

[0033] The motion verification unit can monitor the parents' movements in real time through sensors and cameras installed in the parents' home.

For example, the health monitoring unit can input parent's heart rate and body temperature data into a generating AI, which can then detect abnormalities.

[0038] The operation verification unit can analyze the parent's past operation patterns and set criteria for detecting abnormal movements. For example, the operation verification unit can set criteria for detecting abnormal movements based on operation patterns that the parent frequently performed in the past. For example, the operation verification unit can analyze the parent's past operation patterns and predict the likelihood of abnormal movements occurring during a specific time period. For example, the operation verification unit can optimize an algorithm for detecting abnormal movements based on the parent's past operation patterns. This enables early detection of anomalies by detecting abnormal movements based on past operation patterns. Some or all of the above processing in the operation verification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the operation verification unit can input the parent's past operation data into a generating AI, which can then perform anomaly detection.

[0039] The operation verification unit can apply different monitoring modes depending on the parent's daily rhythm during operation verification. For example, if the parent is resting at night, the operation verification unit can apply a low-frequency monitoring mode to avoid disturbing their sleep. For example, if the parent is active during the day, the operation verification unit can apply a high-frequency monitoring mode to perform detailed operation verification. For example, the operation verification unit can apply a mode that monitors only during specific time periods depending on the parent's daily rhythm. This makes it possible to monitor without disturbing the parent's life by applying a monitoring mode that matches the parent's daily rhythm. Some or all of the above processing in the operation verification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the operation verification unit can input the parent's daily rhythm data into a generating AI, which can then apply the monitoring mode.

[0040] The motion verification unit can prioritize monitoring highly relevant movements by considering the parent's geographical location information during motion verification. For example, if the parent stays in a particular room for an extended period, the motion verification unit can prioritize monitoring movements in that room. For example, if the parent is out, the motion verification unit can prioritize monitoring movements at their destination. For example, if the parent exhibits abnormal movements in a particular location, the motion verification unit can prioritize monitoring movements in that location.

For example, the anomaly detection unit can input the parent's social media activity data into a generating AI, which can then detect related anomalies.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0051] The activity monitoring unit can prioritize monitoring specific actions based on the parent's hobbies and interests when checking their activities. For example, if the parent enjoys gardening, their movements in the garden can be prioritized. If the parent enjoys reading, their movements in the study can be monitored intensively. Furthermore, if the parent enjoys cooking, their movements in the kitchen can be monitored in detail. This allows for activity monitoring tailored to the parent's hobbies and interests, thereby improving the parent's quality of life.

[0052] The health monitoring unit can analyze a parent's diet and identify factors that influence their health when monitoring their health status. For example, if a parent frequently consumes high-calorie meals, the health monitoring unit can take this into account when monitoring their health. Similarly, if a parent is deficient in a particular nutrient, the unit can monitor their health while considering the impact of this deficiency. Furthermore, it can verify whether a parent adheres to specific dietary restrictions and reflect the effects of this in their health status. This enables health monitoring based on the parent's diet, leading to more accurate health management.

[0053] The anomaly detection unit can improve the accuracy of anomaly detection by referring to the parent's past medical history when detecting an anomaly in the parent. For example, if the parent has a history of heart disease, the unit can detect abnormal heart rate by taking that history into account. Also, if the parent has a history of fractures, the unit can identify factors that increase the risk of falls based on that history. Furthermore, if the parent has a history of a specific illness, the unit can prioritize monitoring for anomalies related to that illness. This enables anomaly detection based on the parent's medical history, allowing for faster and more appropriate responses.

[0054] The operation verification unit can apply different monitoring modes depending on the parent's activity level when checking the parent's behavior. For example, if the parent is normally very active, a high-frequency monitoring mode can be applied to perform detailed operation checks. Conversely, if the parent is relatively quiet, a low-frequency monitoring mode can be applied to perform only the minimum necessary checks. Furthermore, if the parent's activity level fluctuates, the monitoring mode can be automatically adjusted accordingly. This enables flexible operation checks that are tailored to the parent's activity level, allowing for monitoring without disrupting the parent's life.

[0055] The health monitoring unit can analyze parents' sleep patterns and identify factors that affect their health when monitoring their health status. For example, if a parent wakes up frequently at night, the unit can take this into account when monitoring their health. Similarly, if a parent sleeps for long periods, the unit can take this into account when monitoring their health. Furthermore, if the quality of a parent's sleep is poor, this can be reflected in their health status. This enables health monitoring based on parents' sleep patterns, leading to more accurate health management.

[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0057] Step 1: The operation verification unit checks the movements of the parents within their home. The operation verification unit monitors the parents' movements in real time, for example, through sensors and cameras installed within the parents' home. The operation verification unit can confirm whether the parents are moving from the living room to the kitchen or resting in their bedroom. It can also understand the parents' daily routine and any unusual movements. Step 2: The health monitoring unit monitors the parent's heart rate and body temperature changes. The health monitoring unit uses sensors to monitor the parent's heart rate and body temperature, for example, to monitor their health status in real time. If the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high, the abnormality can be detected immediately. The health status of the parent is constantly monitored, and any abnormalities can be addressed early. Step 3: The anomaly detection unit detects an anomaly and sends an alert. For example, the anomaly detection unit constantly monitors the parent's movements and health status, and immediately sends an alert if an anomaly occurs. If the parent falls or if abnormalities are detected in their heart rate or body temperature, the AI ​​automatically detects this and sends an alert. This allows the system to constantly monitor the parent's situation and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The home monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that allows you to check on the condition of elderly parents at any time when they live far away. This home monitoring system can check the movements, heart rate, and changes in body temperature of the parents within their home, and if any problem occurs, the AI ​​will automatically detect it and send an alert. For example, the home monitoring system monitors how the parents are moving in real time through sensors and cameras installed in the parents' home. For example, it can check if the parents are moving from the living room to the kitchen or resting in the bedroom. This allows you to understand the parents' daily rhythm and any unusual movements. Next, the home monitoring system uses sensors that monitor the parents' heart rate and body temperature to monitor their health in real time. For example, if the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high, it can immediately detect the abnormality. This allows you to constantly understand the parents' health condition and respond early if there is an abnormality. Furthermore, the home monitoring system constantly monitors the parents' movements and health condition, and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. For example, if the parents fall or if abnormalities are observed in their heart rate or body temperature, the AI ​​will automatically detect it and send an alert. This allows you to stay informed about the situation of elderly parents living far away and be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. This system is for everyone with elderly parents, and because it allows you to check on the situation of your parents living far away at any time, you can live with peace of mind. In addition, by regularly monitoring, you can keep track of your parents' health and respond early if there is any abnormality. This can improve the quality of life for your parents and increase the sense of security for your family. In short, this home monitoring system allows you to keep track of your parents' situation at all times and respond quickly if any abnormality occurs.

[0059] The home monitoring system according to the embodiment comprises an operation confirmation unit, a health monitoring unit, and an abnormality detection unit. The operation confirmation unit confirms the movements of the parents within their home. The operation confirmation unit monitors the parents' movements in real time, for example, through sensors and cameras installed within the parents' home. The operation confirmation unit can, for example, confirm that the parents are moving from the living room to the kitchen or resting in the bedroom. The operation confirmation unit can, for example, understand the parents' daily rhythm and any abnormal movements. The health monitoring unit monitors the parents' heart rate and changes in body temperature. The health monitoring unit monitors the parents' health status in real time, for example, using sensors that monitor the parents' heart rate and body temperature. The health monitoring unit can, for example, immediately detect abnormalities if the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high. The health monitoring unit can, for example, constantly monitor the parents' health status and respond early if there is an abnormality. The abnormality detection unit detects abnormalities and sends an alert. The abnormality detection unit constantly monitors the parents' movements and health status and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. The anomaly detection unit automatically detects abnormalities such as a parent falling or abnormalities in heart rate or body temperature, and sends an alert. The anomaly detection unit can constantly monitor the parent's condition and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. As a result, the home monitoring system can constantly monitor the parent's condition and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs.

[0060] The motion monitoring unit checks the movements of the parents within their home. For example, the unit monitors the parents' movements in real time through sensors and cameras installed within the home. Specifically, it utilizes multiple cameras and motion sensors placed in key areas such as the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and hallway. These devices detect the parents' movements with high precision and transmit video and motion data to a central management system. The management system analyzes this data in real time to understand the parents' current location and actions. For example, if a parent moves from the living room to the kitchen, the camera tracks their movement, and the motion sensor detects the direction and speed of their movement. This allows the system to understand the parents' daily routines and any unusual movements. Furthermore, the motion monitoring unit learns the parents' movement patterns and can detect movements that deviate from normal behavior. For example, if a parent does not wake up at the usual time or stays in the same place for a long period, it may be considered an abnormality. This allows the motion monitoring unit to understand the parents' daily routines and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs. To protect the parents' privacy, the motion monitoring unit encrypts video data and controls access, providing only necessary information to relevant parties. Furthermore, the motion monitoring unit can record the parent's movements and analyze long-term changes in behavioral patterns by referring to past data. This allows the motion monitoring unit to ensure the parent's safety and enable early detection and response to abnormalities.

[0061] The health monitoring unit monitors changes in the parent's heart rate and body temperature. For example, it uses sensors to monitor the parent's heart rate and body temperature, providing real-time health monitoring. Specifically, it uses wearable devices worn by the parent and sensors installed on beds and chairs. These devices continuously measure vital signs such as the parent's heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and transmit the data to a central management system. The management system analyzes this data in real time to understand the parent's health status. For example, if the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high, an abnormality can be detected immediately. If an abnormality is detected, the health monitoring unit sends an alert and notifies relevant parties. This allows for constant monitoring of the parent's health status and early intervention if an abnormality occurs. Furthermore, the health monitoring unit can record the parent's health data over the long term and analyze changes in health status by comparing it with past data. For example, based on past data, it can predict fluctuations in health status during specific seasons or time periods and take preventative measures. Furthermore, the Health Monitoring Department regularly prepares reports on the parents' health status and provides them to medical institutions and families. This allows the Health Monitoring Department to comprehensively manage the parents' health and enable early detection and response to any abnormalities.

[0062] The anomaly detection unit detects abnormalities and sends an alert. For example, the anomaly detection unit constantly monitors the parent's movements and health status, and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. Specifically, the anomaly detection unit analyzes data transmitted from the motion confirmation unit and health monitoring unit in real time to detect signs of abnormality. For example, if a parent falls, the camera and motion sensor of the motion confirmation unit detect the movement and notify the anomaly detection unit. The anomaly detection unit uses AI to analyze this data, and if it determines that there is a high probability of a fall, it immediately sends an alert. Similarly, it analyzes heart rate and body temperature data transmitted from the health monitoring unit, and sends an alert if abnormal fluctuations are detected. When sending an alert, the anomaly detection unit provides detailed information about the parent's current situation and the nature of the abnormality, and quickly notifies relevant parties. For example, if a parent falls, it notifies the location and time of the fall and the parent's current condition to encourage a quick response. This allows the anomaly detection unit to constantly understand the parent's situation and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, the anomaly detection unit can record past anomaly data and analyze the frequency and patterns of anomalies to take preventative measures. For example, if anomalies frequently occur during specific times or in specific locations, it can identify the cause and implement countermeasures. In addition, the anomaly detection unit can continuously improve its anomaly detection accuracy by utilizing AI learning capabilities. As a result, the anomaly detection unit can ensure the safety of parents and support quick and appropriate responses.

For example, the health monitoring unit can input parent's heart rate and body temperature data into a generating AI, which can then detect abnormalities.

[0068] The behavioral monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the frequency of behavioral monitoring based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the behavioral monitoring unit can reduce the frequency of behavioral monitoring to respect the parent's privacy. For example, if the parent is relaxed, the behavioral monitoring unit can increase the frequency of behavioral monitoring to perform more detailed monitoring. For example, if the parent is anxious, the behavioral monitoring unit can appropriately adjust the frequency of behavioral monitoring to provide a sense of security. In this way, by adjusting the frequency of behavioral monitoring according to the parent's emotions, a sense of security can be provided while respecting the parent's privacy. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI is 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 behavioral monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the behavioral monitoring unit can input the parent's emotion data into the generative AI, which can then estimate the emotions.

[0069] The operation verification unit can analyze the parent's past operation patterns and set criteria for detecting abnormal movements.

For example, if the parent is active during the day, the operation verification unit can apply a high-frequency monitoring mode to perform detailed operation verification. For example, the operation verification unit can apply a mode that monitors only during specific time periods depending on the parent's daily rhythm. This makes it possible to monitor without disturbing the parent's life by applying a monitoring mode that matches the parent's daily rhythm. Some or all of the above processing in the operation verification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the operation verification unit can input the parent's daily rhythm data into a generating AI, which can then apply the monitoring mode.

For example, if the parent is out, the motion verification unit can prioritize monitoring movements at their destination. For example, if the parent exhibits abnormal movements in a particular location, the motion verification unit can prioritize monitoring movements in that location.

[0089] The anomaly detection unit can improve the accuracy of anomaly detection by referring to the parent's past medical history when detecting an anomaly in the parent. For example, if the parent has a history of heart disease, the unit can detect abnormal heart rate by taking that history into account. Also, if the parent has a history of fractures, the unit can identify factors that increase the risk of falls based on that history. Furthermore, if the parent has a history of a specific illness, the unit can prioritize monitoring for anomalies related to that illness. This enables anomaly detection based on the parent's medical history, allowing for faster and more appropriate responses.

[0090] The operation verification unit can apply different monitoring modes depending on the parent's activity level when checking the parent's behavior. For example, if the parent is normally very active, a high-frequency monitoring mode can be applied to perform detailed operation checks. Conversely, if the parent is relatively quiet, a low-frequency monitoring mode can be applied to perform only the minimum necessary checks. Furthermore, if the parent's activity level fluctuates, the monitoring mode can be automatically adjusted accordingly. This enables flexible operation checks that are tailored to the parent's activity level, allowing for monitoring without disrupting the parent's life.

[0091] The health monitoring unit can analyze parents' sleep patterns and identify factors that affect their health when monitoring their health status. For example, if a parent wakes up frequently at night, the unit can take this into account when monitoring their health. Similarly, if a parent sleeps for long periods, the unit can take this into account when monitoring their health. Furthermore, if the quality of a parent's sleep is poor, this can be reflected in their health status. This enables health monitoring based on parents' sleep patterns, leading to more accurate health management.

[0092] The behavioral monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the timing of behavioral monitoring based on those emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the timing of behavioral monitoring can be delayed to respect the parent's privacy. Conversely, if the parent is relaxed, the timing of behavioral monitoring can be advanced to allow for more detailed monitoring. Furthermore, if the parent is anxious, the timing of behavioral monitoring can be appropriately adjusted to provide a sense of security. In this way, by adjusting the timing of behavioral monitoring according to the parent's emotions, a sense of security can be provided while respecting the parent's privacy.

[0093] The health monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the health monitoring method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the health monitoring method can be eased and the parent's privacy respected. Conversely, if the parent is relaxed, the health monitoring method can be strengthened and more detailed monitoring can be performed. Furthermore, if the parent is anxious, the health monitoring method can be appropriately adjusted to provide a sense of security. In this way, by adjusting the health monitoring method according to the parent's emotions, a sense of security can be provided while respecting the parent's privacy.

[0094] The anomaly detection unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the frequency of anomaly detection based on those emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the frequency of anomaly detection is reduced to prevent excessive alerts. Conversely, if the parent is relaxed, the frequency of anomaly detection is increased to allow for more detailed monitoring. Furthermore, if the parent is anxious, the frequency of anomaly detection can be appropriately adjusted to provide a sense of security. In this way, by adjusting the frequency of anomaly detection according to the parent's emotions, it is possible to prevent excessive alerts while providing a sense of security.

[0095] The monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the scope of monitoring based on those emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the monitoring scope can be narrowed to respect the parent's privacy. If the parent is relaxed, the monitoring scope can be widened to allow for more detailed monitoring. Furthermore, if the parent is anxious, the monitoring scope can be appropriately adjusted to provide a sense of security. In this way, by adjusting the monitoring scope according to the parent's emotions, it is possible to provide a sense of security while respecting the parent's privacy.

[0096] The health monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and determine the priority of health monitoring based on those emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, the health monitoring priority will be set high and a quick check will be performed. If the parent is relaxed, the health monitoring priority will be set low and only the bare minimum check will be performed. Furthermore, if the parent is feeling stressed, the health monitoring priority will be set to a medium level and an appropriate check will be performed. In this way, by determining the priority of health monitoring according to the parent's emotions, quick and appropriate checks can be performed.

[0097] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0098] Step 1: The operation verification unit checks the movements of the parents within their home. The operation verification unit monitors the parents' movements in real time, for example, through sensors and cameras installed within the parents' home. The operation verification unit can confirm whether the parents are moving from the living room to the kitchen or resting in their bedroom. It can also understand the parents' daily routine and any unusual movements. Step 2: The health monitoring unit monitors the parent's heart rate and body temperature changes. The health monitoring unit uses sensors to monitor the parent's heart rate and body temperature, for example, to monitor their health status in real time. If the heart rate suddenly increases or the body temperature becomes abnormally high, the abnormality can be detected immediately. The health status of the parent is constantly monitored, and any abnormalities can be addressed early. Step 3: The anomaly detection unit detects an anomaly and sends an alert. For example, the anomaly detection unit constantly monitors the parent's movements and health status, and immediately sends an alert if an anomaly occurs. If the parent falls or if abnormalities are detected in their heart rate or body temperature, the AI ​​automatically detects this and sends an alert. This allows the system to constantly monitor the parent's situation and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

[0099] 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.

[0100] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. 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 with 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 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.

[0102] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the operation verification unit, health monitoring unit, and anomaly detection unit, is implemented in at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the operation verification unit uses the camera 42 and sensors of the smart device 14 to monitor the parent's movements in real time, and the control unit 46A understands the parent's daily rhythm and any abnormal movements. The health monitoring unit uses the sensors of the smart device 14 to monitor the parent's heart rate and body temperature, and the control unit 46A detects any abnormalities.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.).

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the operation verification unit, health monitoring unit, and anomaly detection unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the operation verification unit uses the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414 to monitor the parent's movements in real time, and the control unit 46A understands the parent's daily rhythm and any abnormal movements. The health monitoring unit uses the sensors of the robot 414 to monitor the parent's heart rate and body temperature, and the control unit 46A detects any abnormalities. The anomaly detection unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, which constantly monitors the parent's movements and health status, and immediately sends an alert if an abnormality occurs. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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."

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.
