In this way, the lonely death prevention AI agent service can monitor the daily lives of the elderly and reduce the risk of lonely deaths.

[0029] The AI ​​agent service for preventing lonely deaths according to this embodiment comprises a learning unit, a detection unit, an understanding unit, and a collaboration unit. The learning unit learns the daily behavioral patterns of elderly people. The learning unit learns behavioral patterns such as eating, exercising, and sleeping of elderly people using AI, for example. The learning unit can analyze behavioral patterns using machine learning algorithms, for example. The learning unit can also predict behavioral patterns based on past behavioral data, for example. The detection unit detects abnormalities based on the behavioral patterns learned by the learning unit. The detection unit detects deviations from normal behavioral patterns using AI, for example. The detection unit can detect abnormalities based on the frequency of abnormal behavior, for example. The detection unit can also detect the absence of a specific behavior as an abnormality, for example. The understanding unit grasps the health and mental state based on the abnormalities detected by the detection unit. The understanding unit grasps the health state by analyzing vital signs using AI, for example. The understanding unit can grasp the mental state based on the results of psychological tests, for example. The understanding unit can also grasp the mental state using emotion analysis technology, for example. The collaboration unit coordinates with families, medical institutions, and care services based on the information gathered by the information gathering unit. The collaboration unit provides means of information sharing, for example, using AI. The collaboration unit can share information in real time, for example.

As a result, the AI ​​agent service for preventing lonely deaths according to this embodiment can learn the daily behavior patterns of elderly people, detect abnormalities, understand their health and mental state, and coordinate with families, medical institutions, and care services.

[0030] The learning unit learns the daily behavioral patterns of elderly people. Specifically, the learning unit uses AI to learn in detail the behavioral patterns of elderly people, such as eating, exercise, and sleep. For example, it analyzes data collected from sensors and wearable devices, such as the timing and content of meals, the frequency and type of exercise, and the duration and quality of sleep. The learning unit uses machine learning algorithms to analyze this data and model the behavioral patterns of elderly people. For example, it can predict behavioral trends on specific days of the week or time of day based on past behavioral data. Furthermore, the learning unit continuously collects data and updates the model to detect changes and anomalies in behavioral patterns. As a result, the learning unit can accurately understand the behavioral patterns of elderly people and contribute to the early detection of anomalies.

[0031] The detection unit detects anomalies based on behavioral patterns learned by the learning unit. Specifically, the detection unit uses AI to detect deviations from normal behavioral patterns in real time. For example, it detects anomalies if meal times are significantly delayed or if the frequency of exercise decreases sharply. The detection unit can evaluate the severity of an anomaly based on the frequency and duration of the abnormal behavior. For example, it detects serious anomalies if meals are not eaten for several consecutive days or if exercise is not performed for a long period of time. It can also detect anomalies in the absence of specific behaviors, such as the sudden interruption of a regular walk. This allows the detection unit to quickly grasp changes in the behavioral patterns of elderly people, enabling early detection and response to anomalies.

[0032] The monitoring unit understands the health and mental state based on abnormalities detected by the detection unit. Specifically, the monitoring unit uses AI to analyze vital signs and understand the health state in detail. For example, it acquires vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature from sensors and detects changes in health by analyzing this data. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can evaluate the mental state based on the results of psychological tests. For example, it analyzes the results of regularly conducted psychological tests to understand stress levels and signs of depression. It can also use emotion analysis technology to analyze changes in emotions from daily conversations and social media posts to understand the mental state. As a result, the monitoring unit can comprehensively evaluate the health and mental state of elderly people and take necessary actions quickly.

[0033] The Collaboration Department coordinates with families, medical institutions, and care services based on information gathered by the Information Gathering Department. Specifically, the Collaboration Department uses AI to provide a means of information sharing. For example, if an abnormality is detected, it can send real-time notifications to families and medical institutions to encourage a quick response. The Collaboration Department uses a cloud-based integrated system to centrally manage information and facilitate information sharing among stakeholders. For example, families can check the health status of elderly individuals through a smartphone app, and medical institutions can access detailed health data through a dedicated portal site. Furthermore, care services can develop and implement appropriate care plans based on the information provided by the Collaboration Department. In this way, the Collaboration Department can build an effective collaborative system to support the health management of the elderly and reduce the risk of dying alone.

[0034] The conversation unit can provide conversations tailored to the interests and hobbies of elderly individuals.

Some or all of the above processing in the information provision department may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the information provision department can input information on local events and social activities into generative AI and have the generative AI execute the content of the information provision.

[0036] The protection unit can protect privacy. For example, the protection unit can encrypt collected data using AI and impose access restrictions. For example, the protection unit can strictly manage the location where data is stored. For example, the protection unit can limit the scope of data use to the minimum necessary. This ensures privacy and allows elderly people to use the system with peace of mind. Some or all of the above-described processes in the protection unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI.

The detection unit can use AI to detect deviations from normal behavior patterns and detect anomalies based on the frequency of abnormal behavior or the absence of specific behaviors. Step 3: The sensing unit understands the health and mental state based on the abnormalities detected by the detection unit. The sensing unit uses AI to analyze vital signs and understand the health state. Furthermore, it can also understand the mental state using psychological test results and emotion analysis technology. Step 4: The Collaboration Department coordinates with families, medical institutions, and care services based on the information gathered by the Information Gathering Department. The Collaboration Department uses AI to provide a means of information sharing, enabling real-time information sharing. Furthermore, information can also be shared using an integrated system.

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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the learning unit, detection unit, grasping unit, collaboration unit, conversation unit, information provision unit, and protection unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the learning unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and learns the daily behavior patterns of the elderly person. The detection unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and detects abnormalities based on the learned behavior patterns. The grasping unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and grasps the health and mental state based on the detected abnormalities. The collaboration unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and coordinates with family, medical institutions, and care services based on the grasped information. The conversation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides conversations tailored to the elderly person's interests and hobbies. The information provision unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides information on local events and social activities. The protection unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which encrypts the collected data and restricts access. 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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."

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.

[0207] 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.

[0208] 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.

[0209] 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.
