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 surveillance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes video recorded by surveillance cameras in real time, uses AI to analyze pre-crime footage and crime records, issues alerts, and notifies the police. This surveillance system detects risk from "video footage of the few minutes before and after an incident or accident" captured by surveillance cameras, and automatically notifies the police in near real time only when a risk is actually detected. Specifically, it identifies "the suspect's physical characteristics" and "actions at a scene where an incident or accident is likely" from the image, performs the following matching / inference using a generating AI fed with past crime records, and simultaneously transmits the above image to the police in real time, automatically generates the following information and notifies / recommends it to the police. For example, it infers the suspect's next actions (such as specific escape methods) derived from similar past cases, and infers the next actions the police should take in real time derived from similar past cases. This surveillance system enables a higher level of incident and accident resolution and crime deterrence than existing security and safety providers, which can lead to a reduction in the number of crimes. First, AI analyzes the footage captured by surveillance cameras in real time. During this process, the AI identifies the suspect's physical characteristics and actions likely to occur at a crime or accident scene. For example, it can automatically detect intruders attempting to break glass or suspicious individuals trying to force their way through office gates. Next, the AI reads past crime records and infers the suspect's next actions and the next steps the police should take, based on similar cases. For instance, it can infer the escape route chosen by a suspect in a similar past case and the actions the police should take, and notify the police. Furthermore, the AI generates natural language output of the estimated suspect's next actions and the police's next course of action, attaching it to the video and automatically sending it to the police. This enables the police to respond quickly and appropriately. Because this surveillance system analyzes surveillance camera footage in real time, it significantly improves crime deterrence. Additionally, direct reporting to the police allows for a swift response without the need for security guards, preventing criminals from escaping. Furthermore, AI-powered reasoning and recommendations will support police decision-making and contribute to solving crimes and accidents. This will enable the surveillance system to achieve early detection and rapid response to crimes, thereby contributing to crime deterrence.
[0029] The surveillance system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, an alert unit, and a notification unit. The collection unit collects video from surveillance cameras. The collection unit can, for example, collect video from surveillance cameras in real time. The collection unit can also collect video from surveillance cameras periodically. The collection unit can, for example, collect video from surveillance cameras in high resolution. The analysis unit analyzes the video collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit can, for example, identify "physical characteristics of the suspect" and "actions at a crime scene with a high probability of an incident or accident" from the images. The analysis unit can also read past crime records and infer the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take, derived from similar cases. The analysis unit can, for example, use image analysis technology to identify the physical characteristics of the suspect. The analysis unit can, for example, use motion analysis technology to identify actions at a crime scene with a high probability of an incident or accident. The alert unit issues an alert based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. The alert unit can, for example, send alerts to security guards or police based on the analysis results. The alert unit can, for example, customize the content of the alerts before sending them. The alert unit can, for example, adjust the timing of the alerts. The reporting unit reports to the police based on the alerts sent by the alert unit. The reporting unit can, for example, generate predictions of the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take in natural language, attach them to the video, and automatically send them to the police. The reporting unit can, for example, update the report content in real time and generate the optimal report content according to changes in the situation. In addition to the report content, the reporting unit can, for example, attach maps and detailed information about the scene so that the police can respond quickly. As a result, the surveillance system according to the embodiment can analyze surveillance camera footage in real time, analyze pre-crime footage and crime records using AI, send alerts, and report to the police.
[0030] The collection unit collects video footage from surveillance cameras. For example, the collection unit can collect video footage in real time. Specifically, surveillance cameras capture high-resolution video and transmit it to the collection unit via a network. The collection unit receives this video in real time and stores it in a central database. The collection unit can also collect video footage from surveillance cameras periodically. For example, it can capture video at specific time intervals and store it in the database. This allows the collection unit to not only monitor in real time but also refer to past footage. The collection unit can collect video footage from surveillance cameras in high resolution. High-resolution video clearly shows even the smallest details, which is useful for identifying suspects and conducting detailed analysis of incidents. The collection unit can efficiently manage this video and collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected video can be stored on a cloud server, making it accessible to the analysis and alerting units. Furthermore, the collection unit can adjust the frequency and resolution of video collection, enabling flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This allows the collection unit to efficiently and effectively collect video footage, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the video footage collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can identify "the suspect's physical characteristics" and "actions likely to occur at a crime / accident scene" from the images. Specifically, it uses image analysis technology to identify the suspect's physical characteristics such as face, clothing, and body type. This involves the use of deep learning-based facial recognition algorithms and object detection algorithms. It also uses motion analysis technology to identify actions likely to occur at a crime / accident scene. For example, motion analysis algorithms are used to detect abnormal behavior or suspicious movements. The analysis unit can also read past crime records and infer the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take, derived from similar cases. This involves using natural language processing technology to analyze past crime records and extract patterns. The analysis unit can, for example, use image analysis technology to identify the suspect's physical characteristics. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected video footage and grasp the surrounding risk situation in real time. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can predict risk fluctuations in specific areas or time periods based on past crime data and formulate future countermeasures. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. As a result, the analysis unit can not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0032] The alert unit issues alerts based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the alert unit can issue alerts to security guards or police officers based on the analysis results. Specifically, it receives information from the analysis unit and sends notifications to security guards or police officers in real time. The alert unit can, for example, customize the content of alerts it issues. For example, it can generate alerts that include information such as the suspect's physical characteristics, details of their actions, and the location where the incident occurred. The alert unit can, for example, adjust the timing of alert issuance. For example, it can be set to issue alerts only when specific conditions are met. This allows the alert unit to provide necessary information quickly and accurately, helping security guards and police officers take appropriate action. Furthermore, the alert unit manages the alert issuance history and can refer to past alert information. This allows the alert unit to perform analysis and make improvements based on past cases. In addition, the alert unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can reliably deliver important information by using not only smartphone notifications but also voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the alert unit to provide users with quick and reliable instructions and minimize the risk of disaster.
[0033] The reporting unit notifies the police based on alerts issued by the alert unit. For example, the reporting unit can generate natural language data for the police, including estimated results of the suspect's next actions and the actions the police should take, and automatically send this data attached to the video. Specifically, based on information from the analysis unit, it estimates the suspect's next actions and describes the actions the police should take in natural language. This uses natural language generation technology to provide information in a format that the police can easily understand. For example, the reporting unit can update the report content in real time and generate the most appropriate report content according to changes in the situation. For example, if the suspect's location or actions change, it immediately updates the report content and provides the police with the latest information. In addition to the report content, the reporting unit can attach maps and detailed information about the scene to enable the police to respond quickly. This allows the police to accurately grasp the situation at the scene and take a swift and appropriate response. Furthermore, the reporting unit can manage the report history and refer to past report content. This allows the reporting unit to perform analysis and make improvements based on past cases. In addition, the reporting unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, important information can be reliably delivered not only through smartphone notifications, but also through voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the reporting department to provide information to the police quickly and reliably, supporting the early detection and rapid response to crimes.
[0034] The analysis unit can identify the suspect's physical characteristics and actions at a crime scene that are likely to be the site of an incident or accident from an image. For example, the analysis unit can use image analysis technology to identify the suspect's physical characteristics. For example, the analysis unit can identify physical characteristics such as height, weight, and clothing. For example, the analysis unit can use motion analysis technology to identify actions at a crime scene that are likely to be the site of an incident or accident. For example, the analysis unit can identify suspicious movements or fleeing behavior. For example, the analysis unit can combine image analysis technology and motion analysis technology to comprehensively identify the suspect's physical characteristics and actions. This makes it possible to detect crimes early by identifying the suspect's physical characteristics and actions at a crime scene that are likely to be the site of an incident or accident from an image.
[0035] The analysis unit can read past crime records and infer the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take, derived from similar cases. For example, the analysis unit reads past crime records from a database and analyzes the suspect's behavior patterns. For example, the analysis unit can infer the suspect's next actions based on past crime records. For example, the analysis unit can infer the next actions the police should take based on past crime records. For example, the analysis unit can learn the suspect's behavior patterns from past crime records using machine learning algorithms and infer the next actions. For example, the analysis unit can learn the actions the police should take from past crime records using machine learning algorithms and infer the next actions. This enables a quick and appropriate response by inferring the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take based on past crime records.
[0036] The reporting unit can generate predictions of the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take in natural language, attach them to the video, and automatically send them to the police. For example, the reporting unit can use a generative AI to generate predictions of the suspect's next actions in natural language. For example, the reporting unit's generative AI can generate a prediction that "the suspect is likely to choose an escape route next." For example, the reporting unit can use a generative AI to generate a prediction that "the police should block the escape route next." For example, the reporting unit can use a generative AI to automatically attach the prediction results to the video and send them automatically. For example, the reporting unit can attach the prediction results generated by the generative AI to the video and automatically send them to the police. This supports the police's swift and appropriate response by generating predictions of the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take in natural language, attaching them to the video, and automatically sending them to the police.

For example, the alert unit can issue an alert to security guards based on analysis results, allowing them to rush to the scene. For example, the alert unit can issue an alert to police officers based on analysis results, allowing them to rush to the scene. For example, the alert unit can customize the content of alerts based on analysis results before issuing them. For example, the alert unit can provide detailed information about the alert based on analysis results and notify security guards or police officers accordingly. For example, the alert unit can adjust the timing of alert issuance based on analysis results. For example, the alert unit can optimize the timing of alert issuance based on analysis results, enabling a rapid response. This makes it possible to detect crimes early by issuing alerts based on analysis results.
[0039] The data collection unit can dynamically change the placement and angle of surveillance cameras to collect optimal footage. For example, the data collection unit can automatically change the placement of surveillance cameras to reduce blind spots. For example, the data collection unit can dynamically adjust the angle of surveillance cameras to constantly monitor important areas. For example, the data collection unit can periodically change the placement of surveillance cameras to make it difficult to predict criminal activity. This allows for optimal footage collection by dynamically changing the placement and angle of surveillance cameras.
[0040] The acquisition unit can evaluate the quality of the collected video in real time and adjust the acquisition method as needed. For example, the acquisition unit can evaluate the resolution of the video in real time and adjust the camera settings as needed. For example, the acquisition unit can evaluate the brightness and contrast of the video in real time and acquire the optimal video. For example, the acquisition unit can evaluate the noise level of the video in real time and perform noise reduction as needed. This enables optimal video acquisition by evaluating the quality of the collected video in real time and adjusting the acquisition method as needed.

[0062] (Example of form 2) The surveillance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes video recorded by surveillance cameras in real time, uses AI to analyze pre-crime footage and crime records, issues alerts, and notifies the police. This surveillance system detects risk from "video footage of the few minutes before and after an incident or accident" captured by surveillance cameras, and automatically notifies the police in near real time only when a risk is actually detected. Specifically, it identifies "the suspect's physical characteristics" and "actions at a scene where an incident or accident is likely" from the image, performs the following matching / inference using a generating AI fed with past crime records, and simultaneously transmits the above image to the police in real time, automatically generates the following information and notifies / recommends it to the police. For example, it infers the suspect's next actions (such as specific escape methods) derived from similar past cases, and infers the next actions the police should take in real time derived from similar past cases. This surveillance system enables a higher level of incident and accident resolution and crime deterrence than existing security and safety providers, which can lead to a reduction in the number of crimes. First, AI analyzes the footage captured by surveillance cameras in real time. During this process, the AI identifies the suspect's physical characteristics and actions likely to occur at a crime or accident scene. For example, it can automatically detect intruders attempting to break glass or suspicious individuals trying to force their way through office gates. Next, the AI reads past crime records and infers the suspect's next actions and the next steps the police should take, based on similar cases. For instance, it can infer the escape route chosen by a suspect in a similar past case and the actions the police should take, and notify the police. Furthermore, the AI generates natural language output of the estimated suspect's next actions and the police's next course of action, attaching it to the video and automatically sending it to the police. This enables the police to respond quickly and appropriately. Because this surveillance system analyzes surveillance camera footage in real time, it significantly improves crime deterrence. Additionally, direct reporting to the police allows for a swift response without the need for security guards, preventing criminals from escaping. Furthermore, AI-powered reasoning and recommendations will support police decision-making and contribute to solving crimes and accidents. This will enable the surveillance system to achieve early detection and rapid response to crimes, thereby contributing to crime deterrence.

[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0108] Step 1: The collection unit collects footage from surveillance cameras. The collection unit can, for example, collect footage from surveillance cameras in real time. It can also collect footage periodically and in high resolution. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the video footage collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can identify "the suspect's physical characteristics" and "actions at a crime / accident scene that are likely to occur" from the images. It can also read past crime records and infer the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take, based on similar cases. Step 3: The alert unit issues an alert based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the alert unit can issue an alert to security guards or police officers based on the analysis results. It is also possible to customize the content of the alert and adjust the timing of the alert. Step 4: The reporting unit notifies the police based on the alerts issued by the alert unit. For example, the reporting unit can generate predictions of the suspect's next actions and the next actions the police should take in natural language, attach them to the video, and automatically send them to the police. It can also update the report content in real time, generate the most appropriate report content according to changes in the situation, and attach maps and detailed information about the scene.

[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, alert unit, and notification unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects images from a surveillance camera using the camera 42 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected images. The alert unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and issues an alert based on the analysis results. The notification unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and notifies the police. 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.
[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.

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.
