Patent number: 11372379Abstract: A computer system includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor, and manages pieces of reward function information for defining rewards for states and actions of the control targets for each of the control targets. The pieces of reward function information includes first reward function information for defining the reward of a first control target and second reward function information for defining the reward of a second control target. When updating the first reward function information, the processor compares the rewards of the first reward function information and the second reward function information with each other, specifies a reward, which is reflected in the first reward function information from rewards set in the second reward function information, updates the first reward function information on the basis of the specified reward, and decides an optimal action of the first control target by using the first reward function information.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventor: Tomoaki Akitomi
