[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a product (app) for parents who are exhausted from juggling many tasks such as work, childcare, and housework, and who suffer from sleep deprivation and difficulties in raising their children. This system can provide end-to-end support for monitoring, sleep training, and toilet training. Specifically, it learns the behavior of infants and toddlers and the parent's childcare style, and can propose the optimal action in a timely manner based on the baby's sleep rhythm and toilet habits. Unlike existing baby monitors and childcare apps, this system links data from monitoring, sleep training, and toilet training, and has functions to propose specific actions that parents should take next in real time (for example, put the baby to sleep at ● o'clock tonight, guide the baby to the toilet at ● o'clock, etc.), and also has functions to immediately answer questions about childcare and provide specific advice based on expert knowledge and past success stories. For example, as a monitoring function, an old smartphone can be used as a baby monitor. Using image recognition AI that utilizes computer vision, it monitors the movements of infants in real time and notifies parents with a push notification if a dangerous situation is detected. For example, when a baby learns to stand and is about to fall from the railing, it will send a notification such as "Watch out! Stop!" and suggest specific solutions (such as adjusting the railing height). Next, as a sleep training function, it analyzes the baby's cries and movements using voice processing AI and optimizes the notification content according to the situation. For example, it supports the baby's sleep by generating and playing music or white noise that helps them fall asleep. It also automatically records and analyzes daily sleep data and predicts and suggests the optimal sleep cycle. For example, it provides specific advice such as "Make sure the environment is dark at 8 PM." Furthermore, as a potty training function, parents can easily record the intervals between their child's daily toilet visits, and the data analysis AI predicts the optimal timing for toilet breaks. For example, it provides specific suggestions such as "Take your child to the toilet at ● o'clock." It also provides feedback according to the progress of potty training and specific countermeasures for when failures occur. Finally, it uses natural language processing to provide instant answers to questions about childcare and generates specific advice based on expert knowledge and past success stories.This allows parents to resolve their questions and anxieties about childcare and approach parenting with peace of mind. Thus, the present invention aims to reduce the burden of childcare and bring peace of mind and smiles to parents by providing an autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent that provides end-to-end support for monitoring, sleep training, and toilet training. In this way, the autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system can reduce the burden of childcare on parents and improve the quality of childcare.

[0029] The autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, a suggestion unit, a support unit, and a toilet support unit. The monitoring unit monitors the behavior of infants. The monitoring unit can use cameras and sensors, for example, to monitor the movements of infants in real time. The monitoring unit can also record the behavior of infants and collect data to detect abnormal behavior. For example, the monitoring unit can detect movements such as when an infant stands up or falls. The monitoring unit can also store the infant's behavior data in the cloud and make it accessible from multiple devices. The suggestion unit suggests the optimal action based on the behavior of the infant monitored by the monitoring unit. The suggestion unit analyzes the infant's cries and movements using voice processing AI, for example, and optimizes the notification content according to the situation. The suggestion unit can also refer to the infant's behavior data to make more accurate suggestions. The suggestion unit can also estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the way the suggestion content is expressed based on the estimated parent's emotions. The support unit supports the infant's sleep rhythm based on the actions suggested by the suggestion unit. The support unit, for example, automatically adjusts the sleep environment of infants. The support unit can also record infant sleep data over the long term and suggest optimal sleep patterns. The support unit can also estimate parental emotions and adjust sleep support methods based on the estimated parental emotions. The toilet support unit supports infant toilet habits based on actions suggested by the suggestion unit. The toilet support unit, for example, records infant toilet habit data over the long term and suggests optimal toilet timing. The toilet support unit can also analyze the infant's toilet success rate and provide specific advice to improve the success rate. The toilet support unit can also estimate parental emotions and adjust toilet support methods based on the estimated parental emotions. As a result, the autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system according to the embodiment can support sleep rhythms and toilet habits by monitoring the behavior of infants and suggesting optimal actions.

[0030] The monitoring unit monitors the behavior of infants and toddlers. For example, the monitoring unit can use cameras and sensors to monitor the movements of infants and toddlers in real time. Specifically, the monitoring unit uses high-resolution cameras installed on the ceiling and walls of the room to monitor the movements of infants and toddlers over a wide area. This allows for accurate tracking of the infant's movements no matter where they are in the room. Pressure sensors and motion sensors installed on the floor and cribs can also be used to detect subtle movements and changes in the infant's weight. These sensors can detect movements such as standing up or falling in real time and immediately notify of abnormal behavior. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can store the infant's behavior data in the cloud and make it accessible from multiple devices. This allows parents and caregivers to check on the infant's situation anytime, anywhere via smartphones and tablets. The monitoring unit analyzes the collected data using AI to learn the infant's behavior patterns. This improves the accuracy of detecting abnormal behavior and enables appropriate monitoring according to the infant's growth and development. For example, if an infant frequently falls during a specific time period, the cause can be identified and appropriate measures can be taken. This allows the monitoring unit to ensure the safety of infants and reduce the burden on parents and caregivers.

[0031] The suggestion department proposes the optimal action based on the behavior of infants monitored by the monitoring department. For example, the suggestion department analyzes the infant's cries and movements using voice processing AI and optimizes the notification content according to the situation. Specifically, the suggestion department analyzes the volume, frequency, and duration of the infant's cries to identify the cause of the crying. For example, it identifies causes such as hunger, diaper discomfort, or sleepiness and proposes appropriate responses to the parents. It also analyzes the infant's movements and facial expressions to estimate the infant's emotional state. This allows it to identify the cause of anxiety or stress if the infant is feeling it and propose appropriate responses. The suggestion department can also make more accurate suggestions by referring to the infant's behavior data. For example, based on past data, if an infant tends to perform a specific action at a particular time of day, it can predict that action and propose countermeasures in advance. The suggestion department can also estimate the parents' emotions and adjust the way the suggestions are expressed based on the estimated emotions of the parents. For example, if the parents are tired, it will make simple and easy-to-implement suggestions, and if the parents are relaxed, it will make suggestions that include detailed explanations. This will allow the proposal department to reduce the burden on parents and provide more efficient care for infants and toddlers.

[0032] The support unit supports the sleep rhythm of infants and toddlers based on actions proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, the support unit automatically adjusts the sleep environment for infants and toddlers. Specifically, the support unit automatically adjusts the room lighting, temperature, and humidity to create a comfortable environment for sleep. For example, it gradually dims the lights and maintains the temperature within an appropriate range during the time when infants and toddlers are likely to fall asleep. It also supports infants and toddlers falling asleep by playing white noise or lullabies. The support unit can also record infants and toddlers' sleep data over the long term and suggest optimal sleep patterns. For example, it records the infant's sleep duration, wake-up time, and number of awakenings during the night, and based on this data, it suggests an optimal sleep schedule for the infant. Furthermore, the support unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the sleep support methods based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is tired, it suggests easy-to-implement sleep support methods, and if the parent is relaxed, it suggests support methods with detailed explanations. In this way, the support unit can effectively support the infant's sleep rhythm and reduce the burden on parents.

[0033] The Toilet Support Department supports infants' toilet habits based on actions proposed by the Proposal Department. For example, the Toilet Support Department records infants' toilet habit data over the long term and proposes the optimal timing for toilet use. Specifically, the Toilet Support Department records the timing of urination and defecation of infants and proposes the optimal time for infants to go to the toilet based on this data. The Toilet Support Department can also analyze the success rate of infants' toilet use and provide specific advice to improve the success rate. For example, if an infant is reluctant to go to the toilet, the department identifies the cause and proposes appropriate countermeasures. Furthermore, the Toilet Support Department can estimate the parents' emotions and adjust the toilet support method based on the estimated emotions of the parents. For example, if the parents are stressed, the department proposes easy-to-implement toilet support methods, and if the parents are relaxed, it proposes support methods that include detailed explanations. In this way, the Toilet Support Department can effectively support infants' toilet habits and reduce the burden on parents.

[0034] The monitoring unit can monitor the movements of infants and toddlers in real time using image recognition AI that utilizes computer vision. For example, the monitoring unit uses a camera to capture the movements of infants and toddlers, and the image recognition AI analyzes the footage. The monitoring unit can detect movements such as infants and toddlers standing up or falling. If the monitoring unit detects abnormal movements, it can notify the parents. For example, if an infant or toddler is about to fall over a fence, the monitoring unit will send a notification such as "Watch out! Stop!". In this way, the movements of infants and toddlers can be monitored in real time using image recognition AI. Computer vision technology can be used, for example, image recognition algorithms using deep learning models or high-resolution cameras. The image recognition AI can be improved in accuracy by, for example, using a large amount of data on infants and toddlers' movements as training data. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input video data acquired by the camera into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of infants and toddlers' movements.

[0035] The proposed system can analyze the cries and movements of infants using voice processing AI and optimize notification content according to the situation. For example, the proposed system can record the infant's cries with a microphone and analyze the voice processing AI. The proposed system can analyze the crying patterns of the infant and estimate the cause of the crying. The proposed system can also detect the infant's movements with sensors and analyze the movement patterns. Based on the crying and movement patterns, the proposed system optimizes the content of notifications sent to parents. For example, if the infant is crying, the proposed system sends a notification such as, "Your baby is crying. Please check their diaper." In this way, by using voice processing AI, the system can analyze the crying and movements of infants and optimize notification content. The voice processing AI can, for example, use a speech recognition algorithm to extract characteristics of crying and classify crying patterns. Optimization of notification content is achieved, for example, by adjusting the timing and details of the notification content. Some or all of the above processing in the proposed system may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the proposal unit can input data on infant crying sounds into a generating AI and have the AI ​​perform an analysis of the crying sounds.

[0036] The monitoring unit can learn the behavioral patterns of infants and toddlers over the long term and detect abnormal behavior early. For example, the monitoring unit records the behavioral data of infants and toddlers over a long period of time and learns their behavioral patterns. The monitoring unit can detect abnormal behavior if an infant or toddler moves in a way that is different from normal. The monitoring unit can issue an early warning if abnormal behavior is repeated during a specific time period. The monitoring unit can analyze the behavioral patterns of infants and toddlers and detect signs of abnormal behavior in advance. As a result, by learning the behavioral patterns of infants and toddlers, abnormal behavior can be detected early. Behavioral patterns include, for example, daily behavior and behavior during specific events. Abnormal behavior includes, for example, behavior that is different from normal or dangerous behavior. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the behavioral data of infants and toddlers into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform abnormal behavior detection.

[0037] The monitoring unit can monitor the health status of infants and toddlers (body temperature, heart rate, etc.) in real time during monitoring and notify if there is an abnormality. For example, the monitoring unit can measure the infant's body temperature with a sensor and detect an abnormal rise in body temperature. The monitoring unit can monitor the infant's heart rate and detect abnormal fluctuations in heart rate. The monitoring unit constantly monitors the health status of infants and toddlers and immediately notifies if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the infant's body temperature rises sharply, it will notify the parents. If the infant's heart rate is abnormally high, it will issue a warning. In this way, by monitoring the health status of infants and toddlers in real time, any abnormalities can be notified immediately. Health status includes, for example, body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, etc. Abnormalities include, for example, deviations from the normal range or conditions of high urgency. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the infant's health data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform abnormality detection.

[0038] The monitoring unit can monitor the environment surrounding infants and toddlers (temperature, humidity, noise level, etc.) during monitoring and propose an optimal environment. For example, the monitoring unit can measure the room temperature with a sensor and propose air conditioning or heating to maintain an appropriate temperature range. The monitoring unit can monitor the room humidity and propose the use of a humidifier or dehumidifier to maintain an appropriate humidity level. The monitoring unit can also measure the room noise level and propose the removal of noise sources to maintain a quiet environment. For example, if the room temperature is too high, it will propose air conditioning. If the room humidity is too low, it will propose the use of a humidifier. If the room noise level is high, it will propose a quiet environment. In this way, by monitoring the environment surrounding infants and toddlers, an optimal environment can be proposed. The surrounding environment includes, for example, temperature, humidity, and noise level. The optimal environment includes, for example, an appropriate temperature range and humidity level. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input environmental data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute a proposal for an optimal environment.

[0039] The monitoring unit can save infant behavior data to the cloud during monitoring and make it accessible from multiple devices. For example, the monitoring unit can upload infant behavior data to the cloud and make it accessible from smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The monitoring unit can update the data stored in the cloud in real time, ensuring that the latest data is always available. By making the data accessible from multiple devices, the monitoring unit allows parents to check on their infant's behavior no matter where they are. For example, infant behavior data can be saved to the cloud and made accessible from a smartphone. Infant behavior data can be saved to the cloud and made accessible from a tablet. Infant behavior data can be saved to the cloud and made accessible from a PC. This makes the infant behavior data accessible from multiple devices by saving it to the cloud. Behavioral data includes, for example, daily activity records and data from specific events. The cloud includes, for example, the selection of cloud services and data security. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input behavior data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the saving to the cloud.

[0040] The suggestion unit can make more accurate suggestions by referring to the infant's past behavioral data. For example, the suggestion unit can refer to the infant's past sleep data to suggest the optimal sleep duration. The suggestion unit can refer to the infant's past toilet data to suggest the optimal toilet timing. The suggestion unit analyzes the infant's past behavioral data to suggest the optimal action. For example, it can refer to the infant's past sleep data to suggest the optimal sleep duration. It can refer to the infant's past toilet data to suggest the optimal toilet timing. It can refer to the infant's past behavioral data to suggest the optimal action. This allows for more accurate suggestions by referring to the infant's past behavioral data. Past behavioral data includes, for example, daily activity records and data from specific events. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input past behavioral data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis to improve the accuracy of the suggestions.

[0041] The suggestion unit can provide customized suggestions tailored to the individual developmental stage of the infant. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest the optimal sleep duration according to the infant's developmental stage. The suggestion unit can suggest the optimal toilet timing according to the infant's developmental stage. The suggestion unit can suggest the optimal actions according to the infant's developmental stage. For example, it can suggest the optimal sleep duration according to the infant's developmental stage. For example, it can suggest the optimal toilet timing according to the infant's developmental stage. For example, it can suggest the optimal actions according to the infant's developmental stage. This allows for more appropriate support to be provided by making suggestions tailored to the infant's developmental stage. Developmental stages include, for example, age-specific developmental standards and individual growth records. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input developmental stage data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute customized suggestions.

[0042] The proposal unit can learn the parents' parenting style and past responses when making a proposal, and select the optimal proposal method. For example, the proposal unit selects the optimal proposal method according to the parents' parenting style. The proposal unit can learn the parents' past responses and select the optimal proposal method. The proposal unit selects the optimal proposal method by comprehensively considering the parents' parenting style and past responses. For example, it selects the optimal proposal method according to the parents' parenting style. It learns the parents' past responses and selects the optimal proposal method. It selects the optimal proposal method by comprehensively considering the parents' parenting style and past responses. In this way, the optimal proposal method can be selected by learning the parents' parenting style and past responses. Parenting style includes, for example, the parents' parenting policies and past parenting experiences. Past responses include, for example, the parents' responses to proposals and the results of their parenting actions. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the proposal department can input childcare style data and past response data into a generating AI, and have the AI ​​select the optimal proposal method.

[0062] (Example of form 2) The autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a product (app) for parents who are exhausted from juggling many tasks such as work, childcare, and housework, and who suffer from sleep deprivation and difficulties in raising their children. This system can provide end-to-end support for monitoring, sleep training, and toilet training. Specifically, it learns the behavior of infants and toddlers and the parent's childcare style, and can propose the optimal action in a timely manner based on the baby's sleep rhythm and toilet habits. Unlike existing baby monitors and childcare apps, this system links data from monitoring, sleep training, and toilet training, and has functions to propose specific actions that parents should take next in real time (for example, put the baby to sleep at ● o'clock tonight, guide the baby to the toilet at ● o'clock, etc.), and also has functions to immediately answer questions about childcare and provide specific advice based on expert knowledge and past success stories. For example, as a monitoring function, an old smartphone can be used as a baby monitor. Using image recognition AI that utilizes computer vision, it monitors the movements of infants in real time and notifies parents with a push notification if a dangerous situation is detected. For example, when a baby learns to stand and is about to fall from the railing, it will send a notification such as "Watch out! Stop!" and suggest specific solutions (such as adjusting the railing height). Next, as a sleep training function, it analyzes the baby's cries and movements using voice processing AI and optimizes the notification content according to the situation. For example, it supports the baby's sleep by generating and playing music or white noise that helps them fall asleep. It also automatically records and analyzes daily sleep data and predicts and suggests the optimal sleep cycle. For example, it provides specific advice such as "Make sure the environment is dark at 8 PM." Furthermore, as a potty training function, parents can easily record the intervals between their child's daily toilet visits, and the data analysis AI predicts the optimal timing for toilet breaks. For example, it provides specific suggestions such as "Take your child to the toilet at ● o'clock." It also provides feedback according to the progress of potty training and specific countermeasures for when failures occur. Finally, it uses natural language processing to provide instant answers to questions about childcare and generates specific advice based on expert knowledge and past success stories.This allows parents to resolve their questions and anxieties about childcare and approach parenting with peace of mind. Thus, the present invention aims to reduce the burden of childcare and bring peace of mind and smiles to parents by providing an autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent that provides end-to-end support for monitoring, sleep training, and toilet training. In this way, the autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system can reduce the burden of childcare on parents and improve the quality of childcare.

[0063] The autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, a suggestion unit, a support unit, and a toilet support unit. The monitoring unit monitors the behavior of infants. The monitoring unit can use cameras and sensors, for example, to monitor the movements of infants in real time. The monitoring unit can also record the behavior of infants and collect data to detect abnormal behavior. For example, the monitoring unit can detect movements such as when an infant stands up or falls. The monitoring unit can also store the infant's behavior data in the cloud and make it accessible from multiple devices. The suggestion unit suggests the optimal action based on the behavior of the infant monitored by the monitoring unit. The suggestion unit analyzes the infant's cries and movements using voice processing AI, for example, and optimizes the notification content according to the situation. The suggestion unit can also refer to the infant's behavior data to make more accurate suggestions. The suggestion unit can also estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the way the suggestion content is expressed based on the estimated parent's emotions. The support unit supports the infant's sleep rhythm based on the actions suggested by the suggestion unit. The support unit, for example, automatically adjusts the sleep environment of infants. The support unit can also record infant sleep data over the long term and suggest optimal sleep patterns. The support unit can also estimate parental emotions and adjust sleep support methods based on the estimated parental emotions. The toilet support unit supports infant toilet habits based on actions suggested by the suggestion unit. The toilet support unit, for example, records infant toilet habit data over the long term and suggests optimal toilet timing. The toilet support unit can also analyze the infant's toilet success rate and provide specific advice to improve the success rate. The toilet support unit can also estimate parental emotions and adjust toilet support methods based on the estimated parental emotions. As a result, the autonomous learning type childcare support AI agent system according to the embodiment can support sleep rhythms and toilet habits by monitoring the behavior of infants and suggesting optimal actions.

[0064] The monitoring unit monitors the behavior of infants and toddlers. For example, the monitoring unit can use cameras and sensors to monitor the movements of infants and toddlers in real time. Specifically, the monitoring unit uses high-resolution cameras installed on the ceiling and walls of the room to monitor the movements of infants and toddlers over a wide area. This allows for accurate tracking of the infant's movements no matter where they are in the room. Pressure sensors and motion sensors installed on the floor and cribs can also be used to detect subtle movements and changes in the infant's weight. These sensors can detect movements such as standing up or falling in real time and immediately notify of abnormal behavior. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can store the infant's behavior data in the cloud and make it accessible from multiple devices. This allows parents and caregivers to check on the infant's situation anytime, anywhere via smartphones and tablets. The monitoring unit analyzes the collected data using AI to learn the infant's behavior patterns. This improves the accuracy of detecting abnormal behavior and enables appropriate monitoring according to the infant's growth and development. For example, if an infant frequently falls during a specific time period, the cause can be identified and appropriate measures can be taken. This allows the monitoring unit to ensure the safety of infants and reduce the burden on parents and caregivers.

[0065] The suggestion department proposes the optimal action based on the behavior of infants monitored by the monitoring department. For example, the suggestion department analyzes the infant's cries and movements using voice processing AI and optimizes the notification content according to the situation. Specifically, the suggestion department analyzes the volume, frequency, and duration of the infant's cries to identify the cause of the crying. For example, it identifies causes such as hunger, diaper discomfort, or sleepiness and proposes appropriate responses to the parents. It also analyzes the infant's movements and facial expressions to estimate the infant's emotional state. This allows it to identify the cause of anxiety or stress if the infant is feeling it and propose appropriate responses. The suggestion department can also make more accurate suggestions by referring to the infant's behavior data. For example, based on past data, if an infant tends to perform a specific action at a particular time of day, it can predict that action and propose countermeasures in advance. The suggestion department can also estimate the parents' emotions and adjust the way the suggestions are expressed based on the estimated emotions of the parents. For example, if the parents are tired, it will make simple and easy-to-implement suggestions, and if the parents are relaxed, it will make suggestions that include detailed explanations. This will allow the proposal department to reduce the burden on parents and provide more efficient care for infants and toddlers.

[0066] The support unit supports the sleep rhythm of infants and toddlers based on actions proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, the support unit automatically adjusts the sleep environment for infants and toddlers. Specifically, the support unit automatically adjusts the room lighting, temperature, and humidity to create a comfortable environment for sleep. For example, it gradually dims the lights and maintains the temperature within an appropriate range during the time when infants and toddlers are likely to fall asleep. It also supports infants and toddlers falling asleep by playing white noise or lullabies. The support unit can also record infants and toddlers' sleep data over the long term and suggest optimal sleep patterns. For example, it records the infant's sleep duration, wake-up time, and number of awakenings during the night, and based on this data, it suggests an optimal sleep schedule for the infant. Furthermore, the support unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the sleep support methods based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is tired, it suggests easy-to-implement sleep support methods, and if the parent is relaxed, it suggests support methods with detailed explanations. In this way, the support unit can effectively support the infant's sleep rhythm and reduce the burden on parents.

[0067] The Toilet Support Department supports infants' toilet habits based on actions proposed by the Proposal Department. For example, the Toilet Support Department records infants' toilet habit data over the long term and proposes the optimal timing for toilet use. Specifically, the Toilet Support Department records the timing of urination and defecation of infants and proposes the optimal time for infants to go to the toilet based on this data. The Toilet Support Department can also analyze the success rate of infants' toilet use and provide specific advice to improve the success rate. For example, if an infant is reluctant to go to the toilet, the department identifies the cause and proposes appropriate countermeasures. Furthermore, the Toilet Support Department can estimate the parents' emotions and adjust the toilet support method based on the estimated emotions of the parents. For example, if the parents are stressed, the department proposes easy-to-implement toilet support methods, and if the parents are relaxed, it proposes support methods that include detailed explanations. In this way, the Toilet Support Department can effectively support infants' toilet habits and reduce the burden on parents.

[0068] The monitoring unit can monitor the movements of infants and toddlers in real time using image recognition AI that utilizes computer vision. For example, the monitoring unit uses a camera to capture the movements of infants and toddlers, and the image recognition AI analyzes the footage. The monitoring unit can detect movements such as infants and toddlers standing up or falling. If the monitoring unit detects abnormal movements, it can notify the parents. For example, if an infant or toddler is about to fall over a fence, the monitoring unit will send a notification such as "Watch out! Stop!". In this way, the movements of infants and toddlers can be monitored in real time using image recognition AI. Computer vision technology can be used, for example, image recognition algorithms using deep learning models or high-resolution cameras. The image recognition AI can be improved in accuracy by, for example, using a large amount of data on infants and toddlers' movements as training data. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input video data acquired by the camera into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of infants and toddlers' movements.

[0069] The proposed system can analyze the cries and movements of infants using voice processing AI and optimize notification content according to the situation. For example, the proposed system can record the infant's cries with a microphone and analyze the voice processing AI. The proposed system can analyze the crying patterns of the infant and estimate the cause of the crying. The proposed system can also detect the infant's movements with sensors and analyze the movement patterns. Based on the crying and movement patterns, the proposed system optimizes the content of notifications sent to parents. For example, if the infant is crying, the proposed system sends a notification such as, "Your baby is crying. Please check their diaper." In this way, by using voice processing AI, the system can analyze the crying and movements of infants and optimize notification content. The voice processing AI can, for example, use a speech recognition algorithm to extract characteristics of crying and classify crying patterns. Optimization of notification content is achieved, for example, by adjusting the timing and details of the notification content. Some or all of the above processing in the proposed system may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the proposal unit can input data on infant crying sounds into a generating AI and have the AI ​​perform an analysis of the crying sounds.

[0070] The monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the monitoring frequency based on the estimated emotions. For example, the monitoring unit can capture the parent's facial expressions with a camera and estimate their emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. The monitoring unit can analyze changes in the parent's facial expressions and estimate their stress or relaxation state. The monitoring unit adjusts the monitoring frequency according to the parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, the monitoring frequency is increased to provide a sense of security. If the parent is relaxed, the monitoring frequency is reduced to respect their privacy. If the parent is busy, the monitoring frequency is adjusted to notify only at important times. In this way, the parent's sense of security and privacy can be respected by adjusting the monitoring frequency according to their emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input parental facial expression data into a generating AI and have the AI ​​perform emotion estimation.

[0071] The monitoring unit can learn the behavioral patterns of infants and toddlers over the long term and detect abnormal behavior early. For example, the monitoring unit records the behavioral data of infants and toddlers over a long period of time and learns their behavioral patterns. The monitoring unit can detect abnormal behavior if an infant or toddler moves in a way that is different from normal. The monitoring unit can issue an early warning if abnormal behavior is repeated during a specific time period. The monitoring unit can analyze the behavioral patterns of infants and toddlers and detect signs of abnormal behavior in advance. As a result, by learning the behavioral patterns of infants and toddlers, abnormal behavior can be detected early. Behavioral patterns include, for example, daily behavior and behavior during specific events. Abnormal behavior includes, for example, behavior that is different from normal or dangerous behavior. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the behavioral data of infants and toddlers into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform abnormal behavior detection.

[0072] The monitoring unit can monitor the health status of infants and toddlers (body temperature, heart rate, etc.) in real time during monitoring and notify if there is an abnormality. For example, the monitoring unit can measure the infant's body temperature with a sensor and detect an abnormal rise in body temperature. The monitoring unit can monitor the infant's heart rate and detect abnormal fluctuations in heart rate. The monitoring unit constantly monitors the health status of infants and toddlers and immediately notifies if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the infant's body temperature rises sharply, it will notify the parents. If the infant's heart rate is abnormally high, it will issue a warning. In this way, by monitoring the health status of infants and toddlers in real time, any abnormalities can be notified immediately. Health status includes, for example, body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, etc. Abnormalities include, for example, deviations from the normal range or conditions of high urgency. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the infant's health data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform abnormality detection.

[0073] The monitoring unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the notification method of the monitoring results based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, the monitoring unit can capture the parent's facial expressions with a camera and estimate the emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. The monitoring unit can analyze changes in the parent's facial expressions and estimate their stress or relaxation state. The monitoring unit adjusts the notification method according to the parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is stressed, a concise notification is given. If the parent is relaxed, a detailed notification is given. If the parent is busy, only important notifications are given. In this way, by adjusting the notification method according to the parent's emotions, the optimal notification can be provided to the parent. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, for example, 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 monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the parent's facial expression data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

[0074] The monitoring unit can monitor the environment surrounding infants and toddlers (temperature, humidity, noise level, etc.) during monitoring and propose an optimal environment. For example, the monitoring unit can measure the room temperature with a sensor and propose air conditioning or heating to maintain an appropriate temperature range. The monitoring unit can monitor the room humidity and propose the use of a humidifier or dehumidifier to maintain an appropriate humidity level. The monitoring unit can also measure the room noise level and propose the removal of noise sources to maintain a quiet environment. For example, if the room temperature is too high, it will propose air conditioning. If the room humidity is too low, it will propose the use of a humidifier. If the room noise level is high, it will propose a quiet environment. In this way, by monitoring the environment surrounding infants and toddlers, an optimal environment can be proposed. The surrounding environment includes, for example, temperature, humidity, and noise level. The optimal environment includes, for example, an appropriate temperature range and humidity level. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input environmental data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute a proposal for an optimal environment.

[0075] The monitoring unit can save infant behavior data to the cloud during monitoring and make it accessible from multiple devices. For example, the monitoring unit can upload infant behavior data to the cloud and make it accessible from smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The monitoring unit can update the data stored in the cloud in real time, ensuring that the latest data is always available.

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 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.

The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0151] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, suggestion unit, support unit, and toilet support unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the infant's behavior in real time using the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414 and detects abnormal behavior using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The suggestion unit analyzes the infant's behavior data using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes the optimal action. The support unit adjusts the infant's sleep environment using the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and proposes the optimal sleep pattern using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12.

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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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."

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
