[0028] (Example of form 1) An autonomous AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports elderly people living alone so that they can live safely and comfortably. This autonomous AI agent system collects and analyzes information necessary for supporting the lives of the elderly, makes concrete suggestions, and implements the suggested content, thereby alleviating feelings of loneliness and anxiety among the elderly and realizing a society where they can live with peace of mind. For example, the autonomous AI agent system creates a rehabilitation plan, suggests necessary exercises and treatment methods, and automatically sends feedback to doctors and care staff according to the progress. In addition, the autonomous AI agent system performs more accurate emotion analysis by combining voice recognition, facial recognition, and physical condition data (blood pressure, pulse, etc.) and automatically suggests conversations that are appropriate to the user's state, such as, "You seem tired today. Shall I suggest some ways to relax?" Furthermore, the autonomous AI agent system comprehensively understands the living situation of the elderly, predicts shortages of supplies while at home, and automatically makes optimal purchase suggestions and orders. By utilizing drones, etc., necessary items can be delivered in real time even if the elderly person cannot physically go to a store. In addition, the autonomous AI agent system automatically suggests local events and community activities based on the elderly person's hobbies and interests, and adjusts participation methods and times. The system records the feedback and physical condition of elderly participants after events, and uses this information to inform future event proposals. This helps alleviate feelings of loneliness among the elderly and strengthens ties with the community. As a result, the autonomous AI agent system can automatically provide support for the elderly's daily lives, creating a society where they can live with peace of mind.
[0029] The autonomous AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and an execution unit. The collection unit collects information necessary for supporting the lives of elderly people. The collection unit can, for example, collect the content of speech spoken by elderly people using speech recognition technology. The collection unit can also collect facial expression data of elderly people using facial recognition technology. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect physical condition data (e.g., blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, etc.) using sensors. For example, the collection unit can analyze the content of speech spoken by elderly people in real time using speech recognition technology and extract important information. The collection unit can analyze the facial expression data of elderly people using facial recognition technology and estimate their emotional state.

For example, the analysis unit analyzes voice data using natural language processing technology to extract important information from the speech content of elderly people. The analysis unit can analyze facial data using image analysis technology to estimate the emotional state of elderly people. The analysis unit can analyze physical condition data using statistical analysis technology to evaluate the health status of elderly people. The proposal unit makes specific proposals based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the proposal unit can propose relaxation methods based on the results of emotional analysis. The proposal unit can also propose appropriate exercise and treatment methods based on the health status evaluation results. Furthermore, the proposal unit can propose events and community activities based on the hobbies and interests of elderly people. For example, the proposal unit proposes relaxation methods based on the results of emotional analysis. The proposal unit can propose appropriate exercise and treatment methods based on the health status evaluation results. The proposal unit can propose events and community activities based on the hobbies and interests of elderly people. The execution unit carries out the content proposed by the proposal unit. For example, the execution unit can propose or order the purchase of goods.Furthermore, the execution unit can deliver supplies using drones. In addition, the execution unit can record feedback and physical condition after the event. For example, the execution unit can suggest and order supplies. The execution unit can deliver supplies using drones. The execution unit can record feedback and physical condition after the event. As a result, the autonomous AI agent system according to this embodiment can automatically provide support for the lives of the elderly, realizing a society where they can live with peace of mind.
[0030] The data collection unit collects information necessary for supporting the lives of elderly people. Specifically, it can collect the content of elderly people's speech using speech recognition technology. Speech recognition technology analyzes what elderly people say on a daily basis in real time and extracts important keywords and phrases. For example, if an elderly person says, "I'm not feeling well today," the data collection unit immediately recognizes this information and records it as a sign of poor health. The data collection unit can also collect facial expression data of elderly people using facial recognition technology. Facial recognition technology analyzes the elderly person's facial expressions and estimates emotional states such as joy, sadness, anger, and surprise. For example, if an elderly person smiles, the data collection unit records that expression as joy, and conversely, if they frown, it records it as anxiety or confusion. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect health data (e.g., blood pressure, pulse, body temperature) using sensors. These sensors are attached to the elderly person's body and collect data periodically. For example, a blood pressure monitor measures the elderly person's blood pressure, a pulse monitor records their heart rate, and a thermometer monitors fluctuations in body temperature. This allows the data collection unit to monitor the health status of elderly individuals in real time and respond immediately if any abnormalities are detected. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses can be made to specific situations and conditions. As a result, the data collection unit can collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes the information collected by the collection department. Specifically, it can analyze collected audio data using natural language processing technology to extract important information. Natural language processing technology converts the speech content of elderly people into text data and extracts important information about their health status and living situation from it. For example, if an elderly person says, "Recently, I've been having trouble sleeping at night," the analysis department will record this information as a sign of a sleep disorder and suggest necessary countermeasures. The analysis department can also analyze collected facial data using image analysis technology to estimate emotional states. Image analysis technology analyzes the facial expressions of elderly people and detects changes in emotion. For example, if an elderly person frequently has a sad expression, the analysis department will record that emotional state and determine that psychological support is needed. Furthermore, the analysis department can analyze collected physical condition data using statistical analysis technology to evaluate health status. Statistical analysis technology analyzes data such as blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature and detects abnormal values and trends. For example, if blood pressure rises sharply, the analysis department will record the data as an abnormality and recommend contacting a medical institution. This allows the analysis department to quickly and accurately analyze collected data, enabling them to understand the health and living conditions of elderly individuals in real time. Furthermore, the analysis department can utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past health data, they can predict risk fluctuations in specific seasons or time periods and formulate future countermeasures. In addition, the analysis department can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. As a result, the analysis department can not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The proposal department makes specific suggestions based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, it can suggest relaxation methods based on the results of emotional analysis. For example, if an elderly person is experiencing stress, the proposal department can suggest deep breathing or meditation techniques to help them relax. The proposal department can also suggest appropriate exercise or treatment methods based on the results of health assessments. For example, if blood pressure is high, the proposal department can recommend walking or light stretching and advise the person to see a doctor. Furthermore, the proposal department can suggest events and community activities based on the elderly person's hobbies and interests. For example, if an elderly person is interested in music, the proposal department can provide information on local music events and concerts and encourage participation. In this way, the proposal department can suggest concrete actions to improve the quality of life for the elderly and support their health maintenance and social participation. In addition, the proposal department can monitor the effectiveness of the suggestions and modify them as needed. For example, it can regularly evaluate whether the suggested exercises are effective and suggest alternative exercises if they are not effective. The proposal department can also collect feedback from the elderly and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the suggestions. In this way, the proposal department can make flexible and effective suggestions that meet the needs of the elderly and improve their quality of life.
[0033] The implementation team carries out the proposals made by the proposal team. Specifically, they can propose and order the purchase of supplies. For example, they can order medicines and daily necessities needed by the elderly online and have them delivered to their homes. The implementation team can also deliver supplies using drones. Drones can deliver supplies quickly and efficiently, allowing the elderly to receive necessary supplies without leaving their homes. Furthermore, the implementation team can record feedback and physical condition after events. For example, they can record the feedback and changes in physical condition of elderly participants in events and incorporate this into future proposals. This ensures that the implementation team reliably carries out the proposed content and supports the lives of the elderly. In addition, the implementation team can monitor the effectiveness of the implemented content and modify it as needed. For example, they can regularly evaluate whether the proposed exercises are effective and implement a different exercise method if no effect is seen. The implementation team can also collect feedback from the elderly and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the implemented content. This allows the implementation team to carry out flexible and effective implementations tailored to the needs of the elderly, improving their quality of life. Furthermore, the implementation team can respond quickly in emergencies. For example, if an elderly person suddenly falls ill, the operational unit will immediately contact a medical institution and provide the necessary support. In this way, the operational unit can comprehensively support the lives of elderly people and provide an environment in which they can live with peace of mind.

The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

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.

[0166] 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.
[0167] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and execution unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects the facial expressions and speech of elderly people using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and the control unit 46A collects physical condition data using sensors. The analysis unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data and evaluates emotional and health conditions. The proposal unit is implemented in, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which proposes relaxation methods, exercises, and treatment methods based on the analysis results. The execution unit is implemented in, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which executes the proposed content, such as proposing and ordering the purchase of goods and making deliveries using drones. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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."
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
