[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (e.g., a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer.

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for transmitting and receiving various types of information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.
[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may 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 a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes requests from corporate customers from email text and presents arrangements that are deemed necessary to a person in charge. This system accepts email text from a corporate customer, analyzes the received email text, and extracts the requested items. Based on the extracted requested items, the system determines the necessary arrangements. Information indicating the determined arrangements is presented to the person in charge, and further information required for the arrangements is obtained in cooperation with an internal system and presented to the person in charge. This mechanism makes it possible to respond quickly and accurately to requests from corporate customers. For example, a corporate customer sends a request such as "I would like to reserve a conference room" by email. This email text is accepted by the acceptance unit. Next, the accepted email text is analyzed and the requested items are extracted. The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to extract the requested items such as "reserving a conference room" from the email text. For example, the request item "reserving a conference room" is extracted from the text "I would like to reserve a conference room". Based on the extracted requested items, the system determines the necessary arrangements. The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine that "reservation of a conference room is required" based on the extracted request item. For example, based on the request item "reservation of a conference room", it determines that "reservation of a conference room is required". It presents information indicating the determined arrangement to the person in charge. The first presentation unit uses processing that may include AI processing to present information indicating the determined arrangement to the person in charge. For example, it presents information that "reservation of a conference room is required" to the person in charge. Furthermore, it cooperates with an internal system to obtain information necessary for the determined arrangement and presents it to the person in charge. The second presentation unit cooperates with an internal system using processing that may include AI processing to obtain information necessary for reserving a conference room. For example, it obtains a list of available conference rooms and reservation status and presents it to the person in charge. This mechanism makes it possible to respond quickly and accurately to requests from corporate customers. For example, if a customer requests "I want to reserve a conference room", the system can respond quickly by automatically obtaining information necessary for reserving a conference room and presenting it to the person in charge. This allows the system to respond quickly and accurately to requests from corporate customers.
[0029] The system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an extraction unit, a determination unit, a first presentation unit, and a second presentation unit. The reception unit receives email text from a corporate customer. The email text from the corporate customer includes, for example, text format, HTML format, and the presence or absence of an attachment, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, receives an email from a mail server and imports the email text as data for analyzing the email text. The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to analyze the email text received by the reception unit and extracts request items. The request items include, for example, service requests, product orders, inquiries, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The extraction unit extracts keywords from the email text using, for example, natural language processing technology, and identifies the request items. The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine necessary arrangements based on the request items extracted by the extraction unit. The necessary arrangements include, for example, meeting arrangements, product delivery, and service provision, but are not limited to such examples. The determination unit determines appropriate arrangements based on, for example, the contents of the request items. The first presentation unit presents information indicating the arrangement determined by the determination unit to the person in charge, using a process that may include AI processing. The first presentation unit displays the arrangement information to the person in charge, for example, using a display or a mobile device. The second presentation unit obtains information necessary for the arrangement determined by the determination unit in cooperation with an in-house system, using a process that may include AI processing, and presents the information to the person in charge. The second presentation unit obtains the necessary information, for example, by cooperation with an in-house database or reservation system. This enables the system to quickly and accurately respond to requests from corporate customers.
[0030] The reception unit receives email text from corporate customers. Email text from corporate customers includes, but is not limited to, for example, text format, HTML format, and the presence or absence of an attachment. The reception unit, for example, receives email from a mail server and imports the email text as data for analyzing the email text. Specifically, the reception unit communicates with the mail server using a protocol such as IMAP or POP3, and stores the received email in a database for analysis. The analysis of the email text includes preprocessing such as character code conversion, removal of HTML tags, and decompression of attachments. As a result, the email text is converted into a format suitable for processing by the analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception unit simultaneously acquires metadata such as sender information, reception date and time, and subject of the email, and provides this information to the analysis unit. As a result, the reception unit can comprehensively collect data including not only the content of the email text but also related metadata, and provide information necessary for subsequent processing.
[0031] The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to analyze the email text received by the reception unit and extracts the request items. The request items include, but are not limited to, service requests, product orders, inquiries, etc. The extraction unit extracts keywords from the email text using, for example, natural language processing technology to identify the request items. Specifically, the extraction unit analyzes the email text in detail using natural language processing technologies such as tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and dependency analysis. When using generation AI, for example, a model trained in advance can be used to understand the content of the email text and automatically generate the request items. The generation AI uses, for example, a large-scale language model such as Gemini or GPT to understand the context and extract appropriate request items. This allows the extraction unit to analyze the content of the email text with high accuracy and quickly and accurately identify the request items. Furthermore, the extraction unit can classify the extracted request items by category and organize the data to facilitate subsequent processing.
[0032] The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine necessary arrangements based on the request items extracted by the extraction unit. The necessary arrangements include, but are not limited to, for example, arranging a meeting, shipping a product, and providing a service. The determination unit determines appropriate arrangements, for example, based on the contents of the request items. Specifically, the determination unit analyzes the contents of the request items and determines optimal arrangements based on past data and pre-set rules. When the generation AI is used, for example, appropriate arrangements can be automatically generated using the contents of the request items as input. The generation AI can, for example, learn past arrangement data and predict optimal arrangements for similar request items. This allows the determination unit to quickly and accurately determine appropriate arrangements for the request items and smoothly proceed with subsequent processing. Furthermore, the determination unit can set the priority order of arrangements and quickly respond to requests with high urgency.
[0033] The first presentation unit presents information indicating the arrangement determined by the determination unit to the person in charge using a process that may include AI processing. The first presentation unit displays the arrangement information to the person in charge using, for example, a display or a mobile device. Specifically, the first presentation unit displays the arrangement information received from the determination unit in a visually easy-to-understand format. For example, information such as the contents of the arrangement, the deadline, and the person in charge is displayed in a list so that the person in charge can respond quickly. Furthermore, the first presentation unit updates the progress of the arrangement in real time so that the person in charge can understand the current situation. When AI is used, for example, notifications and alerts for the person in charge can be automatically generated based on the priority and urgency of the arrangement. As a result, the first presentation unit can provide information for the person in charge to efficiently proceed with the arrangement and support the smooth execution of the business.
[0034] The second presentation unit obtains the information necessary for arrangements determined by the determination unit in cooperation with an in-house system using a process that may include AI processing, and presents it to the person in charge. The second presentation unit obtains the necessary information by, for example, cooperating with an in-house database or reservation system. Specifically, the second presentation unit automatically obtains related data from the in-house system and provides the person in charge with the information necessary for arrangements. For example, the availability of a conference room necessary for arranging a meeting and inventory information necessary for shipping a product are obtained in real time, and presented to the person in charge. When AI is used, for example, related data can be automatically analyzed and optimal information for arrangements can be extracted. This allows the second presentation unit to enable the person in charge to quickly and accurately obtain the information necessary for arrangements, and improve the efficiency of work. Furthermore, the second presentation unit displays the obtained information in a visually easy-to-understand format, so that the person in charge can easily understand it. This allows the second presentation unit to provide information for the person in charge to quickly and accurately proceed with arrangements, and to support the smooth execution of work.
[0035] When the arrangement is for a conference, the second presentation unit can obtain a list of available conference rooms or a reservation status as information required for reserving a conference room. Information required for reserving a conference room includes, for example, the location of the conference room, the available time, and the presence or absence of equipment, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the second presentation unit cooperates with an in-house conference room reservation system to obtain a list of available conference rooms and a reservation status. For example, the second presentation unit obtains a list of currently available conference rooms from the conference room reservation system and presents it to the person in charge. In addition, the second presentation unit can also obtain the reservation status of the conference room in real time and present it to the person in charge. This makes it possible to quickly obtain information required for reserving a conference room. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the second presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the second presentation unit inputs data obtained from the conference room reservation system to the generation AI, and causes the generation AI to execute information required for reserving a conference room.
[0036] The reception unit can analyze the past email reception history and select an efficient reception method. For example, the reception unit analyzes the patterns of emails that have been frequently received in the past, and preferentially receives emails with similar patterns. In addition, if the reception unit finds that many emails arrive during a specific time period based on the past reception history, it can strengthen reception during that time period. Furthermore, the reception unit can preferentially receive emails from specific customers based on the past reception history. This allows efficient email reception by selecting the optimal reception method based on the past history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input past email reception history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select an efficient reception method.
[0037] The reception unit can filter the email text based on the user's current work situation and field of interest when receiving the email text. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives emails related to a project currently in progress by the user. The reception unit can also filter emails related to the user's field of interest and preferentially receive important emails. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails with a high level of urgency according to the user's work situation. This makes it possible to filter emails according to the user's work situation and field of interest. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's work situation and field of interest data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute email filtering.
[0038] The reception unit can preferentially receive highly relevant emails in consideration of the geographical location information of the user when receiving the text of the email. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially receives emails related to the area. In addition, when the user is on a business trip, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails related to the business trip destination. Furthermore, when the user is at home, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails related to the home. This allows highly relevant emails to be preferentially received based on the geographical location information of the user. The estimation of emotions is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the geographical location information data of the user to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the priority order of highly relevant emails.
[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and receive related emails when receiving the text of the email. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives emails related to topics mentioned by the user on social media. The reception unit can also preferentially receive emails related to areas of high interest from the user's social media activity. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails from companies and organizations that the user follows on social media. This makes it possible to preferentially receive related emails based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media activity data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the prioritization of related emails.
[0040] The extraction unit can adjust the level of detail of the extraction based on the importance of the email text during extraction. For example, the extraction unit extracts detailed request items from email text with high importance. The extraction unit can also extract concise request items from email text with low importance. Furthermore, the extraction unit can dynamically adjust the level of detail of the extraction according to the importance. This allows efficient extraction of request items by adjusting the level of detail of the extraction according to the importance of the email text. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input importance data of the email text to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the extraction.
[0041] The extraction unit can apply different extraction algorithms depending on the category of the email at the time of extraction. For example, the extraction unit applies an extraction algorithm related to conference room reservations to a meeting-related email. The extraction unit can also apply an extraction algorithm related to purchasing procedures to a purchase-related email. Furthermore, the extraction unit can apply an extraction algorithm related to support requests to a technical support-related email. This makes it possible to extract more accurate request items by applying an extraction algorithm according to the category of the email. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input email category data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to apply different extraction algorithms.
[0042] The extraction unit can determine the extraction priority based on the time when the email was sent during extraction. For example, the extraction unit preferentially extracts emails sent recently. The extraction unit can also adjust the extraction priority of emails sent old, depending on their importance. Furthermore, the extraction unit can also preferentially extract emails with high urgency based on the time when they were sent. This allows the extraction priority to be determined based on the time when the email was sent, so that requests with high urgency can be preferentially extracted. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input email sending time data to the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the determination of the extraction priority.
[0043] The extraction unit can adjust the extraction order based on the relevance of the emails at the time of extraction. For example, the extraction unit preferentially extracts emails with high relevance. The extraction unit can also adjust the extraction order of emails with low relevance according to their importance. Furthermore, the extraction unit can dynamically adjust the extraction order based on the relevance. As a result, by adjusting the extraction order based on the relevance of the emails, highly relevant requests can be preferentially extracted. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input email relevance data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the extraction order.
[0044] The determination unit can improve the accuracy of the determination by considering the interrelationships of the requested items when making a determination. For example, when there are multiple requested items, the determination unit determines the optimal arrangement by considering the interrelationships between them. In addition, when the requested items are related, the determination unit can also determine the arrangement by considering the relevance. Furthermore, the determination unit can adjust the priority of the arrangement based on the interrelationships between the requested items. This makes it possible to make a more accurate determination of the arrangement by considering the interrelationships between the requested items. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the determination unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the determination unit can input interrelationship data between the requested items to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the accuracy of the determination.
[0045] The determination unit can make a determination while taking into consideration attribute information of the person who submitted the request item. For example, if the person who submitted the request item is an important customer, the determination unit determines the request item as a priority. The determination unit can also determine the arrangement by taking into consideration the past request history of the person who submitted the request item. Furthermore, the determination unit can adjust the priority of the arrangement based on the attribute information of the person who submitted the request item. In this way, by taking into consideration the attribute information of the person who submitted the request item, it is possible to determine the request items of important customers as a priority. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the determination unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the determination unit can input attribute information data of the person who submitted the request item to the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the determination.
[0046] The determination unit can make a determination taking into consideration the geographical distribution of the requested items when making a determination. For example, when the requested items are concentrated in a specific region, the determination unit determines arrangements for that region as a priority. The determination unit can also adjust the priority of arrangements based on the geographical distribution of the requested items. Furthermore, the determination unit can also determine optimal arrangements taking into consideration the geographical distribution. In this way, arrangements related to a region can be determined as a priority by taking into consideration the geographical distribution of the requested items. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the determination unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the determination unit can input geographical distribution data of the requested items to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the determination.
[0047] The judgment unit can improve the accuracy of the judgment by referring to literature related to the requested item at the time of judgment. The judgment unit, for example, refers to literature related to the requested item and judges the arrangement. The judgment unit can also adjust the priority of the arrangement based on the related literature. Furthermore, the judgment unit can also improve the accuracy of the judgment by referring to literature related to the requested item. As a result, the accuracy of the judgment is improved by referring to the related literature. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the judgment unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the judgment unit can input related literature data of the requested item to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the improvement of the accuracy of the judgment.
[0048] The first presentation unit can adjust the level of detail of the presentation based on the importance of the arrangement at the time of presentation. For example, the first presentation unit presents detailed information for arrangements with high importance. In addition, the first presentation unit can also present concise information for arrangements with low importance. Furthermore, the first presentation unit can dynamically adjust the level of detail of the presentation according to the importance of the arrangement. This allows efficient information presentation by adjusting the level of detail of the presentation according to the importance of the arrangement. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the first presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the first presentation unit can input the importance data of the arrangement to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the presentation.
[0049] The first presentation unit can apply different presentation algorithms depending on the category of arrangements at the time of presentation. For example, the first presentation unit applies a presentation algorithm related to conference room reservations to meeting-related arrangements. The first presentation unit can also apply a presentation algorithm related to purchasing procedures to purchasing-related arrangements. Furthermore, the first presentation unit can also apply a presentation algorithm related to support requests to technical support-related arrangements. This makes it possible to present information more accurately by applying a presentation algorithm according to the category of arrangements.

[0054] The second presentation unit can present the information while taking into consideration the geographic distribution of the arrangements. For example, when arrangements are concentrated in a specific area, the second presentation unit preferentially presents information about that area. The second presentation unit can also adjust the priority of information based on the geographic distribution of the arrangements. Furthermore, the second presentation unit can present optimal information while taking into consideration the geographic distribution.

[0056] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0057] The reception unit can analyze the user's past behavior history and select the optimal response when receiving the email text. For example, for a user who has sent many emails in a specific time period in the past, reception during that time period can be strengthened. In addition, emails containing specific keywords can be preferentially received from the past behavior history. Furthermore, emails from specific users can be preferentially received based on the past behavior history. This allows efficient email reception by selecting the optimal reception method based on the past behavior history. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input past behavior history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select an efficient reception method.
[0058] The extraction unit can estimate the urgency of the request based on the contents of the email text, and determine the priority of extraction according to the urgency. For example, the request is extracted with priority from an email text including a request with a high urgency. Also, the request can be extracted with normal priority from an email text including a request with a low urgency. Furthermore, the level of detail of extraction can be dynamically adjusted according to the urgency. This allows efficient extraction of the request by determining the priority of extraction according to the urgency of the email text.

For example, the determination unit can input cost data of arrangements to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to determine the priority of arrangements.
[0060] The second presentation unit can monitor the progress of the arrangement in real time and update the presented information according to the progress. For example, when the arrangement is completed, the information is immediately presented to the person in charge. Also, when the arrangement is delayed, the delay information can be presented to the person in charge. Furthermore, necessary additional arrangements can be presented according to the progress of the arrangement. This allows the progress of the arrangement to be monitored in real time and appropriate information to be presented, thereby enabling efficient arrangement management.

[0061] The extraction unit can automatically classify the category of the request based on the content of the email text, and apply different extraction algorithms to each category. For example, an extraction algorithm related to conference room reservations can be applied to meeting-related emails. Also, an extraction algorithm related to purchasing procedures can be applied to purchasing-related emails. Furthermore, an extraction algorithm related to support requests can be applied to technical support-related emails. This makes it possible to extract more accurate request items by applying an extraction algorithm according to the category of the email.

In addition, a specific pattern can be extracted from the past arrangement history and information can be presented based on the pattern. Furthermore, information related to a specific arrangement can be presented preferentially based on the past arrangement history. This allows efficient arrangement management by presenting optimal information based on the past arrangement history.

For example, the second presentation unit can input the arrangement history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to present optimal information.
[0064] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0065] Step 1: The reception unit receives the text of an email from a corporate client. The text of an email from a corporate client may be in text format, HTML format, or may have an attachment, but is not limited to these examples. The reception unit receives the email from a mail server, for example, and imports the email text as data for analysis. Step 2: The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to analyze the email text received by the reception unit and extracts the request items. The request items include, but are not limited to, requests for services, product orders, inquiries, etc. The extraction unit extracts keywords from the email text using, for example, natural language processing technology, and identifies the request items. Step 3: The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine the necessary arrangements based on the request items extracted by the extraction unit. The necessary arrangements include, but are not limited to, arrangements for meetings, delivery of goods, provision of services, etc. The determination unit determines appropriate arrangements based on, for example, the contents of the request items. Step 4: The first presentation unit presents information indicating the arrangement determined by the determination unit to the person in charge using a process that may include AI processing. The first presentation unit displays the arrangement information to the person in charge using, for example, a display or a mobile device. Step 5: The second presentation unit, using a process that may include AI processing, cooperates with an in-house system to obtain the information necessary for arrangements determined by the determination unit, and presents it to the person in charge. The second presentation unit cooperates with, for example, an in-house database or reservation system to obtain the necessary information.
[0066] (Example 2) The system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes requests from corporate customers from email text and presents arrangements that are deemed necessary to a person in charge. This system accepts email text from a corporate customer, analyzes the received email text, and extracts the requested items. Based on the extracted requested items, the system determines the necessary arrangements. Information indicating the determined arrangements is presented to the person in charge, and further information required for the arrangements is obtained in cooperation with an internal system and presented to the person in charge. This mechanism makes it possible to respond quickly and accurately to requests from corporate customers. For example, a corporate customer sends a request such as "I would like to reserve a conference room" by email. This email text is accepted by the acceptance unit. Next, the accepted email text is analyzed and the requested items are extracted. The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to extract the requested items such as "reserving a conference room" from the email text. For example, the request item "reserving a conference room" is extracted from the text "I would like to reserve a conference room". Based on the extracted requested items, the system determines the necessary arrangements. The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine that "reservation of a conference room is required" based on the extracted request item. For example, based on the request item "reservation of a conference room", it determines that "reservation of a conference room is required". It presents information indicating the determined arrangement to the person in charge. The first presentation unit uses processing that may include AI processing to present information indicating the determined arrangement to the person in charge. For example, it presents information that "reservation of a conference room is required" to the person in charge. Furthermore, it cooperates with an internal system to obtain information necessary for the determined arrangement and presents it to the person in charge. The second presentation unit cooperates with an internal system using processing that may include AI processing to obtain information necessary for reserving a conference room. For example, it obtains a list of available conference rooms and reservation status and presents it to the person in charge. This mechanism makes it possible to respond quickly and accurately to requests from corporate customers. For example, if a customer requests "I want to reserve a conference room", the system can respond quickly by automatically obtaining information necessary for reserving a conference room and presenting it to the person in charge. This allows the system to respond quickly and accurately to requests from corporate customers.
[0067] The system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an extraction unit, a determination unit, a first presentation unit, and a second presentation unit. The reception unit receives email text from a corporate customer. The email text from the corporate customer includes, for example, text format, HTML format, and the presence or absence of an attachment, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, receives an email from a mail server and imports the email text as data for analyzing the email text. The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to analyze the email text received by the reception unit and extracts request items. The request items include, for example, service requests, product orders, inquiries, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The extraction unit extracts keywords from the email text using, for example, natural language processing technology, and identifies the request items. The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine necessary arrangements based on the request items extracted by the extraction unit. The necessary arrangements include, for example, meeting arrangements, product delivery, and service provision, but are not limited to such examples. The determination unit determines appropriate arrangements based on, for example, the contents of the request items. The first presentation unit presents information indicating the arrangement determined by the determination unit to the person in charge, using a process that may include AI processing. The first presentation unit displays the arrangement information to the person in charge, for example, using a display or a mobile device. The second presentation unit obtains information necessary for the arrangement determined by the determination unit in cooperation with an in-house system, using a process that may include AI processing, and presents the information to the person in charge. The second presentation unit obtains the necessary information, for example, by cooperation with an in-house database or reservation system. This enables the system to quickly and accurately respond to requests from corporate customers.
[0068] The reception unit receives email text from corporate customers. Email text from corporate customers includes, but is not limited to, for example, text format, HTML format, and the presence or absence of an attachment. The reception unit, for example, receives email from a mail server and imports the email text as data for analyzing the email text. Specifically, the reception unit communicates with the mail server using a protocol such as IMAP or POP3, and stores the received email in a database for analysis. The analysis of the email text includes preprocessing such as character code conversion, removal of HTML tags, and decompression of attachments. As a result, the email text is converted into a format suitable for processing by the analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception unit simultaneously acquires metadata such as sender information, reception date and time, and subject of the email, and provides this information to the analysis unit. As a result, the reception unit can comprehensively collect data including not only the content of the email text but also related metadata, and provide information necessary for subsequent processing.
[0069] The extraction unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to analyze the email text received by the reception unit and extracts the request items. The request items include, but are not limited to, service requests, product orders, inquiries, etc. The extraction unit extracts keywords from the email text using, for example, natural language processing technology to identify the request items. Specifically, the extraction unit analyzes the email text in detail using natural language processing technologies such as tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and dependency analysis. When using generation AI, for example, a model trained in advance can be used to understand the content of the email text and automatically generate the request items. The generation AI uses, for example, a large-scale language model such as Gemini or GPT to understand the context and extract appropriate request items. This allows the extraction unit to analyze the content of the email text with high accuracy and quickly and accurately identify the request items. Furthermore, the extraction unit can classify the extracted request items by category and organize the data to facilitate subsequent processing.
[0070] The determination unit uses AI processing or generation AI processing to determine necessary arrangements based on the request items extracted by the extraction unit. The necessary arrangements include, but are not limited to, for example, arranging a meeting, shipping a product, and providing a service. The determination unit determines appropriate arrangements, for example, based on the contents of the request items. Specifically, the determination unit analyzes the contents of the request items and determines optimal arrangements based on past data and pre-set rules. When the generation AI is used, for example, appropriate arrangements can be automatically generated using the contents of the request items as input. The generation AI can, for example, learn past arrangement data and predict optimal arrangements for similar request items. This allows the determination unit to quickly and accurately determine appropriate arrangements for the request items and smoothly proceed with subsequent processing. Furthermore, the determination unit can set the priority order of arrangements and quickly respond to requests with high urgency.
[0071] The first presentation unit presents information indicating the arrangement determined by the determination unit to the person in charge using a process that may include AI processing. The first presentation unit displays the arrangement information to the person in charge using, for example, a display or a mobile device. Specifically, the first presentation unit displays the arrangement information received from the determination unit in a visually easy-to-understand format. For example, information such as the contents of the arrangement, the deadline, and the person in charge is displayed in a list so that the person in charge can respond quickly. Furthermore, the first presentation unit updates the progress of the arrangement in real time so that the person in charge can understand the current situation. When AI is used, for example, notifications and alerts for the person in charge can be automatically generated based on the priority and urgency of the arrangement. As a result, the first presentation unit can provide information for the person in charge to efficiently proceed with the arrangement and support the smooth execution of the business.
[0072] The second presentation unit obtains the information necessary for arrangements determined by the determination unit in cooperation with an in-house system using a process that may include AI processing, and presents it to the person in charge. The second presentation unit obtains the necessary information by, for example, cooperating with an in-house database or reservation system. Specifically, the second presentation unit automatically obtains related data from the in-house system and provides the person in charge with the information necessary for arrangements. For example, the availability of a conference room necessary for arranging a meeting and inventory information necessary for shipping a product are obtained in real time, and presented to the person in charge. When AI is used, for example, related data can be automatically analyzed and optimal information for arrangements can be extracted. This allows the second presentation unit to enable the person in charge to quickly and accurately obtain the information necessary for arrangements, and improve the efficiency of work. Furthermore, the second presentation unit displays the obtained information in a visually easy-to-understand format, so that the person in charge can easily understand it. This allows the second presentation unit to provide information for the person in charge to quickly and accurately proceed with arrangements, and to support the smooth execution of work.
[0073] When the arrangement is for a conference, the second presentation unit can obtain a list of available conference rooms or a reservation status as information required for reserving a conference room. Information required for reserving a conference room includes, for example, the location of the conference room, the available time, and the presence or absence of equipment, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the second presentation unit cooperates with an in-house conference room reservation system to obtain a list of available conference rooms and a reservation status. For example, the second presentation unit obtains a list of currently available conference rooms from the conference room reservation system and presents it to the person in charge. In addition, the second presentation unit can also obtain the reservation status of the conference room in real time and present it to the person in charge. This makes it possible to quickly obtain information required for reserving a conference room. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the second presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the second presentation unit inputs data obtained from the conference room reservation system to the generation AI, and causes the generation AI to execute information required for reserving a conference room.
[0074] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the timing of receiving the email text based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is stressed, the reception unit quickly receives the email and responds immediately. Also, when the user is relaxed, the reception unit can receive the email at the normal reception timing. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can preferentially receive the email and quickly start processing. This allows for more appropriate response by adjusting the reception timing of the email text according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's emotion data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute emotion estimation.
[0075] The reception unit can analyze the past email reception history and select an efficient reception method. For example, the reception unit analyzes the patterns of emails that have been frequently received in the past, and preferentially receives emails with similar patterns. In addition, if the reception unit finds that many emails arrive during a specific time period based on the past reception history, it can strengthen reception during that time period. Furthermore, the reception unit can preferentially receive emails from specific customers based on the past reception history. This allows efficient email reception by selecting the optimal reception method based on the past history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input past email reception history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select an efficient reception method.
[0076] The reception unit can filter the email text based on the user's current work situation and field of interest when receiving the email text. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives emails related to a project currently in progress by the user. The reception unit can also filter emails related to the user's field of interest and preferentially receive important emails. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails with a high level of urgency according to the user's work situation. This makes it possible to filter emails according to the user's work situation and field of interest. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's work situation and field of interest data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute email filtering.
[0077] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and determine the priority of the received emails based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit preferentially receives important emails. Also, when the user is relaxed, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails with a normal priority. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can preferentially receive emails with a high urgency. In this way, by determining the priority of emails according to the user's emotion, important emails can be preferentially received. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's emotion data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute emotion estimation.
[0078] The reception unit can preferentially receive highly relevant emails in consideration of the geographical location information of the user when receiving the text of the email. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially receives emails related to the area. In addition, when the user is on a business trip, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails related to the business trip destination. Furthermore, when the user is at home, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails related to the home. This allows highly relevant emails to be preferentially received based on the geographical location information of the user. The estimation of emotions is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the geographical location information data of the user to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the priority order of highly relevant emails.
[0079] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and receive related emails when receiving the text of the email. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives emails related to topics mentioned by the user on social media. The reception unit can also preferentially receive emails related to areas of high interest from the user's social media activity. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially receive emails from companies and organizations that the user follows on social media. This makes it possible to preferentially receive related emails based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media activity data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the prioritization of related emails.
[0080] The extraction unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the extraction method of the request items based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is feeling stressed, the extraction unit preferentially extracts concise request items. In addition, when the user is relaxed, the extraction unit can also extract detailed request items. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the extraction unit can preferentially extract request items with high urgency. This allows more appropriate request items to be extracted by adjusting the extraction method of the request items according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the extraction unit can input the user's emotion data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the extraction method of the request items.
[0081] The extraction unit can adjust the level of detail of the extraction based on the importance of the email text during extraction. For example, the extraction unit extracts detailed request items from email text with high importance. The extraction unit can also extract concise request items from email text with low importance. Furthermore, the extraction unit can dynamically adjust the level of detail of the extraction according to the importance. This allows efficient extraction of request items by adjusting the level of detail of the extraction according to the importance of the email text. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input importance data of the email text to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the extraction.
[0082] The extraction unit can apply different extraction algorithms depending on the category of the email at the time of extraction. For example, the extraction unit applies an extraction algorithm related to conference room reservations to a meeting-related email. The extraction unit can also apply an extraction algorithm related to purchasing procedures to a purchase-related email. Furthermore, the extraction unit can apply an extraction algorithm related to support requests to a technical support-related email. This makes it possible to extract more accurate request items by applying an extraction algorithm according to the category of the email. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input email category data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to apply different extraction algorithms.
[0083] The extraction unit can estimate the user's emotion and determine the priority of the request items based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is feeling stressed, the extraction unit preferentially extracts important request items. In addition, when the user is relaxed, the extraction unit can also preferentially extract request items with a normal priority. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the extraction unit can preferentially extract request items with a high urgency. In this way, by determining the priority of the request items according to the user's emotion, it is possible to preferentially extract important request items. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the extraction unit can input the user's emotion data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the determination of the priority of the request items.
[0084] The extraction unit can determine the extraction priority based on the time when the email was sent during extraction. For example, the extraction unit preferentially extracts emails sent recently. The extraction unit can also adjust the extraction priority of emails sent old, depending on their importance. Furthermore, the extraction unit can also preferentially extract emails with high urgency based on the time when they were sent. This allows the extraction priority to be determined based on the time when the email was sent, so that requests with high urgency can be preferentially extracted. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input email sending time data to the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the determination of the extraction priority.
[0085] The extraction unit can adjust the extraction order based on the relevance of the emails at the time of extraction. For example, the extraction unit preferentially extracts emails with high relevance. The extraction unit can also adjust the extraction order of emails with low relevance according to their importance. Furthermore, the extraction unit can dynamically adjust the extraction order based on the relevance. As a result, by adjusting the extraction order based on the relevance of the emails, highly relevant requests can be preferentially extracted. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the extraction unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the extraction unit can input email relevance data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the extraction order.
[0086] The determination unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the criteria for arrangement based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is stressed, the determination unit determines a request item that needs to be arranged quickly with priority. In addition, when the user is relaxed, the determination unit can also make arrangements with normal criteria. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the determination unit can also determine arrangements with high urgency with priority. This allows for more appropriate arrangement determination by adjusting the arrangement criteria according to the user's emotion. The estimation of emotion is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI.

[0168] 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 executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0169] For example, the reception unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the extraction unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the determination unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the first presentation unit is realized by the display of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the second presentation unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0170] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.
[0171] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on 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 emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0172] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0173] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0174] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.
[0175] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this 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 positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0176] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.
[0177] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.
[0178] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12.

[0179] In addition, 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 upon request from the data processing device 12.
[0180] It is not necessary to store all 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 all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0183] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0184] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The above specific processes are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0185] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments are described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, the smart glasses 214, the headset terminal 314, and the robot 414 are only examples, and they may be combined with each other, or may be other devices. In the above example, the first and second embodiments are described separately, but they may be combined.
