Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The sales system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects big data on products and talks in the same way as a top salesman. This sales system aims to automate and unmanned sellers and maintain the quality of sales in this day and age when the seller population is decreasing. Specifically, it is composed of the following steps. First, big data on products is collected. Big data includes past sales data, customer feedback, product reviews, information on competing products, etc. This data is input into the generation AI. Next, the generation AI analyzes the collected big data and generates a talk script of a top salesman. The generation AI learns past successful sales talks and customer reactions, and creates an optimal talk script based on them. For example, it includes phrases to attract customers' interest in a specific product and persuasive words to encourage purchases. The generated talk script is sent to a sales robot or vending system. This allows the sales robot or vending system to talk in the same way as a top salesman and effectively appeal to customers about the product. For example, a sales robot in a store can explain the product to customers and answer their questions. This mechanism makes it possible to realize automation and unmanned sales without deteriorating the quality of sales, even if the seller population decreases. For example, even in unmanned stores, customers can receive the same sales pitch as a top salesman, which increases their motivation to purchase. Furthermore, sales robots and vending systems can operate 24 hours a day, so they can always provide high-quality sales pitches without being restricted by business hours. This allows the sales system to analyze big data about products, generate sales scripts similar to those of a top salesman, and make sales.

[0029] The sales system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a sales unit. The collection unit collects big data related to products. The big data related to products includes, for example, past sales data, customer feedback, product reviews, information on competing products, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the collection unit acquires past sales data from a database, and collects customer feedback from questionnaires and review sites. The collection unit can also acquire product reviews from an online platform, and collect information on competing products from market research data. The analysis unit analyzes the big data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit extracts useful information from the big data, for example, using data mining technology. The analysis unit can also analyze data patterns and extract data for generating talk scripts, using machine learning algorithms. For example, the analysis unit extracts patterns of successful sales talks from past sales data, and analyzes customer reactions from customer feedback. The generation unit generates talk scripts based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates talk scripts for top salesmen, for example, using a generation AI. The generation AI learns from past successful sales talks and customer reactions, and creates an optimal talk script based on the learned information. For example, the generation AI generates phrases to attract customers' interest in a particular product and persuasive words to encourage purchases. The sales department uses the talk script generated by the generation department to make sales. The sales department transmits the talk script to, for example, a sales robot or a vending system, which explains the product to customers and answers their questions. The sales department operates 24 hours a day, and can always provide high-quality sales talks. As a result, the sales system according to the embodiment can analyze big data related to products, generate talk scripts similar to those of a top salesman, and make sales.

[0030] The collection unit collects big data related to the product. The big data related to the product includes, for example, past sales data, customer feedback, product reviews, information on competing products, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the collection unit acquires past sales data from a database, and collects customer feedback from questionnaires and review sites. The collection unit can also acquire product reviews from an online platform, and collect information on competing products from market research data. Specifically, the past sales data includes the sales volume, sales period, price fluctuation, seasonal sales trends, and the like of each product. These data are automatically acquired from the company's internal database or cloud storage. Customer feedback is collected from questionnaire surveys, review sites, comments on social media, and the like, and analyzed using text mining technology. Product reviews are acquired from online shopping sites and specialized review sites using scraping technology, and evaluations and opinions are extracted using natural language processing technology. Information on competing products is collected from market research reports, published sales data, and competitors' websites, and is used for competitive analysis. This allows the collection unit to collect comprehensive data from a wide range of information sources and build a data set that serves as the basis of a sales strategy. Furthermore, the data collection department can flexibly set the frequency of data collection and the timing of updates, making it possible to obtain the latest information in real time. This allows the data collection department to always grasp the latest market trends and customer needs, enabling them to respond quickly.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the big data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit extracts useful information from the big data, for example, using data mining technology. The analysis unit can also use a machine learning algorithm to analyze data patterns and extract data for generating talk scripts. Specifically, the data mining technology is used to analyze sales trends and seasonal fluctuations from past sales data, and identify factors behind successful sales campaigns. The machine learning algorithm, for example, uses a clustering method to identify customer segments and derive optimal sales strategies for each segment. In addition, natural language processing technology is used to perform sentiment analysis from customer feedback and product reviews, and extract customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the analysis unit analyzes information on competing products, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of competitors, and clarifies the differentiation points of the company's products. As a result, the analysis unit can analyze the collected big data from multiple angles and provide useful information necessary for planning a sales strategy. The analysis unit is required to analyze data in real time and provide results quickly, so it utilizes high-performance computing resources and distributed processing technology. The analysis results are displayed as graphs and charts using visualization tools and presented in an intuitive and easy-to-understand format, allowing the analysis department to support data-based decision-making and maximize the effectiveness of sales activities.

[0032] The generation unit generates a talk script based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates a talk script of a top salesman, for example, using a generation AI. The generation AI learns past successful sales talks and customer reactions, and creates an optimal talk script based on them. Specifically, the generation AI uses natural language generation technology to generate phrases to attract customers' attention and persuasive words to encourage purchases. For example, to attract customers' interest in a specific product, it generates phrases that emphasize the features and advantages of the product, and to encourage purchases, it creates persuasive messages including limited offers and discount information. The generation AI learns past sales data and customer feedback, and builds a model to predict customer reactions. This allows the generation unit to generate customized talk scripts tailored to the needs and interests of customers. Furthermore, the generation unit evaluates the quality of the generated talk script and makes corrections and improvements as necessary. For example, the generated talk script is tested in an actual sales scenario, customer reactions are collected as feedback, and the generation AI model is retrained. This allows the generation unit to always provide high-quality talk scripts and maximize the effectiveness of sales activities.

[0033] The sales department uses the talk script generated by the generation department to make sales. The sales department, for example, sends the talk script to a sales robot or a vending system, which explains the product to the customer and answers questions. Specifically, the sales robot explains the features and advantages of the product to the customer based on the generated talk script, and provides a persuasive message to encourage the purchase. The vending system uses an online chatbot or a voice assistant to quickly and accurately answer the customer's questions and support the purchase procedure. The sales department operates 24 hours a day and can always provide high-quality sales talk. This allows the customer to obtain product information at any time and make a purchase decision quickly. Furthermore, the sales department collects customer feedback and uses it to improve the talk script. For example, by analyzing the customer's reactions and questions and reviewing the content and expression of the talk script, it is possible to provide a more effective sales talk. In addition, the sales department integrates multiple sales channels to provide a consistent customer experience. For example, the same talk script can be used in different channels, such as an online store, a physical store, and a mobile app, and the customer can obtain consistent information regardless of which channel they use. This allows the sales department to improve customer satisfaction and maximize the effectiveness of sales activities.

[0034] The collection unit can collect past sales data, customer feedback, product reviews, and information on competing products. For example, the collection unit can acquire past sales data from a database and collect customer feedback from questionnaires and review sites. The collection unit can also acquire product reviews from online platforms and collect information on competing products from market research data. This allows the collection unit to collect a variety of data, enabling more accurate analysis. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input past sales data into AI, which then collects and organizes the data.

[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the collected big data and extract data for generating a talk script for a top salesman. The analysis unit can extract useful information from the big data, for example, using data mining technology. The analysis unit can also analyze patterns of data and extract data for generating a talk script, using a machine learning algorithm. For example, the analysis unit can extract patterns of successful sales talks from past sales data and analyze customer reactions from customer feedback. In this way, the analysis unit can extract data, and the generation unit can generate an optimal talk script. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed, for example, using AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected big data to AI, and the AI ​​can analyze and extract the data.

[0036] The generation unit can learn past successful sales talks and customer reactions, and generate a talk script based on the same.

The generation AI is 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 sales department may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the sales department inputs the user's emotion data into the generation AI, and the generation AI adjusts the timing of the sales talk.

[0093] At the time of sale, the sales department can make personalized talk by referring to the customer's past purchase history. For example, the sales department can make talk about related products based on information about products purchased by the customer in the past. The sales department can also suggest personalized recommended products by referring to the customer's purchase history. Furthermore, the sales department can make talk about a specific brand based on the customer's purchase history. This allows for more personalized sales talk by referring to the customer's past purchase history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the sales department may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the sales department inputs the customer's purchase history data into AI, and the AI ​​makes personalized talk.

[0094] The sales department can analyze the real-time reaction of the customer at the time of sale and dynamically change the content of the talk. For example, if the customer shows interest, the sales department provides detailed information about the product. In addition, if the customer has questions, the sales department can immediately talk to answer the questions. Furthermore, if the customer is unsure about the purchase, the sales department can also talk persuasively to encourage the purchase. This allows for more effective sales talk by analyzing the real-time reaction of the customer. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the sales department may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the sales department inputs the real-time reaction data of the customer into AI, and the AI ​​dynamically changes the content of the talk.

[0095] The sales department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the sales talk based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the sales department can give energetic talk. Also, if the user is feeling anxious, the sales department can give reassuring talk. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the sales department can give calm talk. This allows for more effective sales by adjusting the content of the sales talk based on the user's emotions. The estimation of emotions is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is 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 sales department may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the sales department inputs the user's emotion data into the generation AI, and the generation AI adjusts the content of the sales talk.

[0096] The sales department can make a region-specific talk by taking into account the geographical information of the customer at the time of sale. For example, the sales department makes a talk about a product that is popular in a particular region. The sales department can also make a talk by taking into account sales trends for each region. Furthermore, the sales department can make a talk based on customer feedback for each region. This makes it possible to make a sales talk that is region-specific by taking into account the geographical information of the customer. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the sales department may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the sales department inputs the geographical information of the customer into AI, and the AI ​​makes a region-specific talk.

[0097] The sales department can analyze the social media activity of the customer at the time of sale and hold a related talk. For example, the sales department holds a talk about a product in which the customer showed interest on social media. The sales department can also hold a personalized talk based on the social media activity of the customer. Furthermore, the sales department can hold a talk based on the customer's feedback on social media. In this way, a more personalized sales talk is possible by analyzing the social media activity of the customer. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the sales department may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the sales department inputs the social media activity data of the customer into an AI, and the AI ​​holds a related talk.

[0098] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0099] The sales system may further include a history analysis unit that analyzes the purchasing history of customers. The history analysis unit analyzes data on products purchased in the past by customers to identify the customer's preferences and purchasing patterns. For example, it may identify product categories and brands that customers frequently purchase, and generate personalized talk scripts based on that information. The history analysis unit may also analyze reviews and feedback on products purchased in the past by customers to ascertain the customer's satisfaction levels and dissatisfaction points. This allows for more effective sales strategies to be developed based on the customer's purchasing history.

[0100] The collection unit can further collect social media activities of the customer. For example, the collection unit can collect products and comments shared by the customer on social media to understand the customer's interests and concerns. The collection unit can also collect trend information on social media to collect data based on the latest trends. The collection unit can also collect the number of followers and engagement rate of the customer on social media to evaluate the influence of the customer. This enables more effective data collection based on social media activities.

[0101] The analysis unit can further integrate and analyze data from different data sources. For example, data from online shopping sites, sales data from physical stores, and data from social media can be integrated to perform comprehensive analysis. The analysis unit can also compare data from different data sources to find correlations. Furthermore, the analysis unit can predict customer purchasing behavior and trends using data from different data sources. In this way, more accurate analysis is possible by integrating different data sources.

[0102] The generation unit can further generate a talk script by incorporating a customer's real-time reaction. For example, if a customer shows interest in a product, a talk script including detailed information about the product is generated. Also, if a customer has a question, a talk script that answers the question can be generated. Furthermore, if a customer is unsure about a purchase, a persuasive talk script to encourage the purchase can be generated. This makes it possible to generate more effective talk scripts based on the customer's real-time reaction.

[0103] The sales department can further consider the geographical information of the customer when making a sales pitch. For example, the sales department can make a pitch about products that are popular in a particular region. The sales department can also consider sales trends in each region when making a pitch. The sales department can also make a pitch based on customer feedback in each region. This makes it possible to make sales pitches specific to each region by considering the geographical information of the customer.

[0104] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of data to be collected based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, positive customer feedback can be collected with priority. Also, if the user is feeling anxious, information on competing products can be collected with priority. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, past sales data can be collected evenly. Thus, by determining the priority of data based on the user's emotions, more effective data collection is possible.

[0105] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis algorithm based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the analysis can be weighted toward positive data. If the user is anxious, the analysis can be weighted toward data for reducing risks. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the analysis can be weighted toward balanced data. This allows for more effective analysis by adjusting the analysis algorithm based on the user's emotions.

[0106] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the talk script is expressed based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, an energetic expression can be used. If the user is anxious, an expression that gives a sense of security can be used. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, a calm expression can be used. In this way, by adjusting the way the talk script is expressed based on the user's emotions, a more effective sales talk can be achieved.

[0107] The sales department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of the sales talk based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the sales talk can be started immediately. Also, if the user is feeling anxious, the sales department can first start talking to relax the user. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the sales talk can be started at an appropriate time. In this way, more effective sales can be achieved by adjusting the timing of the sales talk based on the user's emotions.

[0108] The sales department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the sales talk based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the sales department can deliver energetic talk. If the user is anxious, the sales department can deliver reassuring talk. If the user is relaxed, the sales department can deliver calm talk. This allows for more effective sales by adjusting the content of the sales talk based on the user's emotions.

[0109] The process flow of the second embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0110] Step 1: The collection unit collects big data related to the product. The big data related to the product includes past sales data, customer feedback, product reviews, information on competing products, and the like. For example, the collection unit obtains past sales data from a database and collects customer feedback from surveys and review sites. It is also possible to obtain product reviews from an online platform and collect information on competing products from market research data. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the big data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses data mining techniques to extract useful information from the big data and uses machine learning algorithms to analyze patterns in the data. For example, it extracts patterns of successful sales pitches from past sales data and analyzes customer responses from customer feedback. Step 3: The generation unit generates a talk script based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a talk script for a top salesman. The generation AI learns from past successful sales talks and customer responses, and creates an optimal talk script based on that. For example, it generates phrases to attract a customer's interest in a particular product and persuasive words to encourage a purchase. Step 4: The sales department uses the talk script generated by the generation department to make a sale. The sales department sends the talk script to the sales robot or vending system, explains the product to the customer, and answers any questions. The sales department operates 24 hours a day, and can always provide high-quality sales talks.

[0111] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14.

The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI. The AI ​​other than the generation AI is, for example, a linear regression, a logistic regression, a decision tree, a random forest, a support vector machine (SVM), a k-means clustering, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), or a naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to such examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by an AI, the processes are performed in part or in whole by the AI, but are not limited to such examples.In addition, processing performed by AI including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI including the generation AI.

[0147] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0148] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0149] 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 and / or a LAN.

[0150] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. 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 microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0151] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs the voice according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0152] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, an aperture, and a shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (e.g., an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the width of the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0153] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is performed in a secure state.

[0154] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and legs. The posture and behavior of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and legs. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0155] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, 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.

[0156] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0157] 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.

[0158] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads out the specific program 60 from the storage 50, and executes the specific 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 program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 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.

[0159] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.

[0160] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0161] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the 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. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data) is input. The data generation model 58 infers the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats of voice data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, a text generation AI, an image generation AI, and a multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI. The AI ​​other than the generation AI is, for example, a linear regression, a logistic regression, a decision tree, a random forest, a support vector machine (SVM), a k-means clustering, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), or a naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to such examples. The AI ​​may be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each part described above are performed by an AI, the processes are performed in part or in whole by the AI, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processes, and the rule-based processes may be replaced with processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI.

[0162] 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. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0163] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and sales unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit collects big data related to the product using the camera 42 and the communication I / F 44 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the collected big data. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and generates a talk script based on the analysis result. The sales unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and sells using the generated talk script. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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).

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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."

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, various processors as shown below can be used. An example of the processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing the specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of the processor is a dedicated electric circuit, which is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively for executing a specific process, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.

[0176] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be 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). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0177] 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.

[0178] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above 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.

[0179] 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.

For example, the above description of the configuration, function, action, and effect is an example of the configuration, function, action, and effect of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replaced with respect to the description and illustrations shown above, within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. In addition, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the description and illustrations shown above omit explanations of technical common sense that do not require particular explanation in enabling the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
