[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.

[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) A travel planning system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides an optimal itinerary by allowing a user to input basic information such as the schedule, transportation (airline, bullet train, car, etc.), accommodation, desired sightseeing spots, and what to eat. In this system, the user inputs basic information such as the schedule, transportation, accommodation, desired sightseeing spots, and what to eat. For example, the user inputs "Travel from March 1st to March 5th, transportation is bullet train, accommodation is Tokyo, desired sightseeing spot is sightseeing spot A, and what to eat is food B." This information is input to AI. Next, AI analyzes the input information and creates an optimal itinerary. Based on information such as the schedule, transportation, accommodation, desired sightseeing spot, and what to eat, AI calculates an efficient route and creates a schedule for each day. For example, on March 1st, you visit sightseeing spot A, and on March 2nd, you visit restaurant C to eat food B. Furthermore, if there is room in the itinerary, AI suggests recommended stops other than the desired sightseeing spots. For example, after visiting sightseeing spot A, it suggests visiting nearby sightseeing spot D. In this way, a fulfilling travel plan is provided for the user. In addition, for things that require reservations, such as restaurants and experiences, the AI checks availability. For example, it checks the availability of restaurant C, which requires a reservation to eat dish B, and automatically makes a reservation if a reservation is available. This allows the user to complete the reservation without any hassle. Finally, on the day, it links with a map app to provide navigation. For example, when a user heads to tourist spot A, the map app displays the route from the user's current location to tourist spot A and performs navigation. This allows the user to reach the destination without getting lost. This mechanism allows the user to easily create the optimal travel plan and enjoy a fulfilling trip. As a result, the travel planning system can streamline the user's travel planning and provide a fulfilling travel experience.
[0029] The travel planning system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, a proposal unit, a reservation unit, and a navigation unit. The reception unit receives basic information from a user. The basic information includes, for example, a schedule, a means of transportation (air, bullet train, car, etc.), a place to stay, a desired sightseeing spot, and a desired food, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the user inputs "Travel from March 1 to March 5, a means of transportation is a bullet train, a place to stay is Tokyo, a desired sightseeing spot is tourist spot A, and a desired food is food B" into the reception unit. This information is input to the AI. The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and create an optimal itinerary. The generation unit calculates an efficient route based on information such as the schedule, a means of transportation, a place to stay, a desired sightseeing spot, and a desired food, and creates a schedule for each day. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to calculate an efficient route and create a schedule for each day. The generation unit can also use the multimodal generation AI to calculate efficient routes and create a schedule for each day. The suggestion unit suggests recommended stopovers other than the desired tourist spot based on the itinerary created by the generation unit. For example, the suggestion unit suggests visiting a nearby tourist spot D after visiting tourist spot A. The suggestion unit can also use the generation AI to suggest stopovers based on the user's preferences. The reservation unit inquires about availability and makes reservations for things that require reservations, such as restaurants and experiences. For example, the reservation unit checks the availability of restaurant C, which requires a reservation to eat dish B, and automatically makes a reservation if a reservation is possible. The reservation unit can also use the generation AI to search multiple reservation sites across multiple sites and provide optimal reservation options. The navigation unit performs navigation in conjunction with a map app. For example, when a user heads to tourist spot A, the map app displays a route from the user's current location to tourist spot A and performs navigation. The navigation unit can also use the generation AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the navigation display method based on the estimated user's emotions. As a result, the travel planning system according to the embodiment can improve the efficiency of the user's travel planning and provide a fulfilling travel experience.
[0030] The reception unit receives basic information from the user. The basic information includes, for example, a schedule, a means of transportation (air, bullet train, car, etc.), a place of accommodation, a desired sightseeing spot, and a food to eat, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the user inputs "Travel from March 1 to March 5, a means of transportation is a bullet train, a place of accommodation is Tokyo, a desired sightseeing spot is tourist spot A, and a food to eat is food B" into the reception unit. This information is input to the AI. The reception unit provides an interface to accurately receive the information input by the user and properly process it within the system. For example, when a user inputs information through a website or a mobile app, the reception unit provides an intuitive and easy-to-use form so that the user can input all the necessary information. Furthermore, the reception unit checks the consistency of the input information, and if there is missing or contradictory information, it provides appropriate feedback to the user. For example, if there is an overlap in the schedule or if there is a contradiction between the means of transportation and the place of accommodation, an error message is displayed to the user to prompt the user to make corrections. The reception unit also has a function to save the user's input contents in real time and to allow the user to resume input even if it is interrupted midway. This allows the user to take their time to carefully plan their trip. Furthermore, the reception unit can store the user's past travel history and preferences, and refer to them when planning their next trip. For example, personalized suggestions can be made to the user based on information such as tourist spots visited in the past, accommodations, and food eaten. This allows the reception unit to flexibly respond to the user's needs, improving the efficiency of trip planning and satisfaction.
[0031] The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and create an optimal itinerary. The generation unit calculates an efficient route based on information such as the schedule, transportation means, accommodation, desired sightseeing spots, and what to eat, and creates a schedule for each day. The generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to calculate an efficient route and create a schedule for each day. The generation unit can also use a multimodal generation AI to calculate an efficient route and create a schedule for each day. The generation unit utilizes multiple data sources to generate an optimal itinerary based on the user's input information. For example, the generation unit obtains information such as transportation schedules, business hours of tourist spots, and restaurant reservation status in real time, and integrates this information to create an optimal schedule. The generation AI analyzes these data and proposes an itinerary that best suits the user's wishes. For example, when visiting tourist spot A, the least crowded time period is selected so that sightseeing can be enjoyed efficiently. The generation unit can also create a personalized itinerary taking into account the user's preferences and past travel history. For example, it will suggest new tourist spots and restaurants that the user might be interested in based on information about tourist spots visited in the past and food eaten. Furthermore, the generation unit can modify and improve the itinerary based on user feedback. For example, if a user wants to add a specific tourist spot or change the schedule, the generation AI will respond quickly and regenerate the optimal itinerary. This allows the generation unit to respond flexibly to user needs, resulting in more efficient travel planning and improved satisfaction.
[0032] The suggestion unit suggests recommended stopovers other than the desired tourist spot based on the itinerary created by the generation unit. For example, the suggestion unit suggests visiting a nearby tourist spot D after visiting tourist spot A. The suggestion unit can also suggest stopovers based on the user's preferences using the generation AI. The suggestion unit suggests tourist spots and activities that the user may be interested in based on the user's input information and past travel history. For example, if the user is interested in historical buildings, the suggestion unit suggests historical tourist spots in the area. Also, if the user wants to enjoy nature, the suggestion unit can suggest nearby parks and nature reserves. The suggestion unit uses the generation AI to analyze the user's preferences and interests and suggest optimal stopovers. For example, if the user wants to eat a specific dish, the suggestion unit can suggest restaurants and markets where the dish can be enjoyed. Furthermore, the suggestion unit suggests efficient stopovers taking into account the user's schedule and means of transportation. For example, the suggestion unit makes suggestions taking into account the means of transportation and travel time so that the user can move smoothly from tourist spot A to tourist spot D. This allows the user to enjoy sightseeing efficiently without wasting time. The suggestion unit can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the suggestions based on the user's feedback. For example, the suggestion unit can collect the user's impressions and evaluations after visiting the suggested tourist spots and reflect them in the next suggestions. This enables the suggestion unit to flexibly respond to the user's preferences, resulting in more efficient travel planning and improved satisfaction.
[0033] The reservation unit checks availability and makes reservations for restaurants and experiences that require reservations. For example, the reservation unit checks the availability of restaurant C, which requires a reservation to eat dish B, and automatically makes a reservation if a reservation is possible. The reservation unit can also use the generation AI to search multiple reservation sites across multiple reservation sites and provide optimal reservation options. The reservation unit works with multiple reservation sites and services to efficiently make reservations for restaurants and activities that users want. For example, it obtains availability in real time from restaurant reservation sites, experience activity reservation sites, hotel reservation sites, etc., and provides optimal reservation options. The generation AI analyzes this data and automatically makes a reservation that best suits the user's wishes. For example, if a user wants to make a reservation at a restaurant during a specific time period, it prioritizes searching for restaurants that have availability during that time period and makes a reservation. The reservation unit also makes efficient reservations by taking into account the user's schedule and means of transportation. For example, if a user wants to eat at restaurant C after visiting tourist attraction A, it suggests the optimal reservation time by taking into account the travel time from tourist attraction A to restaurant C. Furthermore, the reservation unit can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of reservations based on user feedback. For example, it can collect ratings of restaurants and activities reserved by users and reflect them in the next reservation. This allows the reservation unit to flexibly respond to users' needs, making travel planning more efficient and increasing satisfaction.
[0034] The navigation unit performs navigation in conjunction with a map application. For example, when a user heads to a tourist spot A, the map application displays a route from the current location to tourist spot A and performs navigation. The navigation unit can also use the generation AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the navigation display method based on the estimated user's emotions. The navigation unit provides the optimal route in real time so that the user can reach the destination smoothly. For example, the optimal route is calculated and guided to the user, taking into account traffic congestion, construction information, weather information, etc. The generation AI analyzes these data and provides the optimal route from the user's current location to the destination. In addition, the navigation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the navigation display method. For example, if the user is tired, more concise and easy-to-understand guidance is provided, and if the user is relaxed, detailed guidance is provided. Furthermore, the navigation unit can provide personalized navigation taking into account the user's preferences and past movement history. For example, the navigation unit suggests routes and stops that the user is likely to like based on information on routes the user has used in the past and places visited. This enables the navigation unit to flexibly respond to the needs of the user, improving the efficiency of travel plans and satisfaction. Furthermore, the navigation unit can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of navigation based on user feedback. For example, the user can rate the route provided and the next navigation can be based on that rating. This allows the navigation unit to provide the user with quick and reliable navigation and enrich the travel experience.
[0035] The suggestion unit can suggest a stopover based on the user's preferences. The suggestion unit identifies the user's preferences based on, for example, the user's past travel history or survey results, and suggests a stopover. For example, the suggestion unit analyzes data on tourist spots and restaurants visited by the user in the past, and suggests a stopover that matches the user's preferences. The suggestion unit can also suggest a stopover based on the interests and concerns answered by the user in the survey. This improves the satisfaction of the trip by suggesting a stopover according to the user's preferences. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the suggestion unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the user's past travel history and survey results into the generation AI, and cause the generation AI to execute a stopover suggestion based on the user's preferences.
[0036] The reservation unit can search multiple reservation sites across the board. The reservation unit cross-searches multiple reservation sites, such as a hotel reservation site, an airline ticket reservation site, and a restaurant reservation site, and provides optimal reservation options. For example, the reservation unit obtains the availability of accommodations, transportation, and restaurants desired by the user from multiple reservation sites and compares and considers them. The reservation unit can also propose optimal reservation options based on the user's budget and desired conditions. This makes it possible to provide optimal reservation options by searching multiple reservation sites. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reservation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reservation unit can input data from multiple reservation sites into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the proposal of optimal reservation options.
[0037] The generation unit can calculate an efficient route based on the information of the schedule, the means of transportation, the accommodation, the desired sightseeing spots, and the food to be eaten, and create a schedule for each day. The generation unit uses a generation AI to calculate an efficient route based on the information of the schedule, the means of transportation, the accommodation, the desired sightseeing spots, and the food to be eaten, and creates a schedule for each day. For example, the generation unit analyzes the information of the schedule, the means of transportation, the accommodation, the desired sightseeing spots, and the food to be eaten input by the user, and calculates an efficient route. The generation unit creates a schedule for each day, for example, taking into consideration minimizing travel time and the optimal order of sightseeing spots. The generation unit can also adjust the schedule based on the user's preferences using the generation AI. For example, if the user desires a relaxing trip, the generation unit creates a relaxed schedule. In addition, if the user desires an efficient trip, the generation unit can also create a schedule that emphasizes the shortest route. As a result, the travel plan can be optimized by calculating an efficient route and creating a schedule for each day. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input user input information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to calculate efficient routes and create schedules.
[0038] The navigation unit can display a route from the current location to the destination and perform navigation. The navigation unit, for example, works in conjunction with a map application to display a route from the current location to the destination and perform navigation. For example, when a user heads to a tourist spot A, the map application displays a route from the current location to the tourist spot A and performs navigation. The navigation unit acquires the user's current location based on GPS information or a manual input by the user, and calculates an optimal route to the destination. The navigation unit can also estimate the user's emotions using a generating AI and adjust the display method of navigation based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, when a user is nervous, the navigation unit provides a display method that is simple and highly visible. In addition, when a user is relaxed, the navigation unit can also provide a display method that includes detailed information. As a result, the route from the current location to the destination is displayed and navigation is performed, allowing the user to reach the destination without getting lost. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the navigation unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the navigation unit can input information about the user's current location and destination into the generation AI and have the generation AI calculate the optimal route and display the navigation.
[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's past travel history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays travel destinations and accommodations that the user frequently inputs in the past as candidates. For example, the reception unit analyzes data on tourist spots and accommodations visited by the user in the past and suggests input items that match the user's preferences. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) used by the user in the past. For example, if the user used voice input in the past, the reception unit preferentially suggests voice input. The reception unit can also suggest input items related to a specific season or event from the user's past travel history. For example, the reception unit analyzes data on tourist spots and events visited by the user in a specific season in the past and suggests related input items. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of input work by suggesting the optimal input method based on the past travel 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 the user's past travel history data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the suggestion of the optimal input method.
[0040] The reception unit can customize input items based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest at the time of input. For example, the reception unit suggests places and events in which the user showed interest in recent social media activities as input items. For example, the reception unit analyzes data on tourist spots and events that the user has "liked" or commented on on social media, and suggests related input items. The reception unit can also display appropriate input items based on the user's current living situation (for example, family trip, business trip, etc.). For example, if the user is planning a family trip, the reception unit suggests tourist spots and activities for families as input items. The reception unit can also customize related input items based on the user's areas of interest (for example, history, nature, gourmet, etc.). For example, if the user is interested in history, the reception unit suggests historical tourist spots and museums as input items. This makes it possible to streamline input work by providing input items according to the user's living situation and areas of interest. A part 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 and living situation data into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute suggestions for related input items.
[0041] The reception unit can display input items with high relevance in consideration of the geographical location information of the user at the time of input. The reception unit, for example, displays tourist spots and restaurants close to the user's current location as input items with priority. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's current location based on GPS information or address information, and suggests nearby tourist spots and restaurants as input items. In addition, when the user is staying in a specific area, the reception unit can also suggest events and activities related to the area as input items. For example, when the user is staying in a specific area, the reception unit acquires information on events and activities held in the area and suggests them as input items. In addition, the reception unit can display optimal input items based on the means of transportation from the user's current location. For example, when the user travels by car, the reception unit suggests tourist spots and restaurants that are easily accessible by car as input items. Thereby, by providing input items based on the geographical location information, the input work can be made more efficient. 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 geographical location information into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to suggest highly relevant input items.
[0042] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activities at the time of input and suggest related input items. The reception unit, for example, suggests tourist spots and restaurants that the user has "liked" or commented on on social media as input items. For example, the reception unit analyzes data on tourist spots and restaurants that the user has "liked" or commented on on social media and suggests related input items. The reception unit can also suggest input items with reference to places visited by the user's followers and friends. For example, the reception unit analyzes data on tourist spots and restaurants visited by the user's followers and friends and suggests related input items. The reception unit can also suggest related input items based on articles and photos shared by the user on social media. For example, the reception unit analyzes data on tourist spots and events shared by the user on social media and suggests related input items. This makes it possible to provide input items based on social media activities, thereby making input work more efficient. A part 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.

[0120] Step 1: The reception unit accepts basic information from the user. Basic information includes the schedule, means of transportation (air, bullet train, car, etc.), accommodation, desired sightseeing spots, and desired food. For example, the user might input "Traveling from March 1st to March 5th, means of transportation is the bullet train, accommodation is Tokyo, desired sightseeing spot is tourist spot A, and desired food is dish B." This information is input into the AI. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and create an optimal itinerary. The generation unit calculates efficient routes based on information such as the schedule, means of transportation, accommodation, desired sightseeing spots, and desired foods, and creates a schedule for each day. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI to calculate efficient routes and create a schedule for each day. Step 3: The suggestion unit suggests recommended stopovers other than the desired tourist spots based on the itinerary created by the generation unit. For example, it suggests visiting a nearby tourist spot D after visiting tourist spot A. The suggestion unit can also use the generation AI to suggest stopovers based on the user's preferences. Step 4: The reservation department checks availability and makes reservations for restaurants, experiences, and other things that require reservations. For example, it checks availability at restaurant C, which requires a reservation to eat dish B, and automatically makes a reservation if it is available. The reservation department can also use generative AI to search multiple reservation sites across the board and provide the best reservation options. Step 5: The navigation unit performs navigation in conjunction with the map application. For example, when the user heads to tourist spot A, the map application displays the route from the current location to tourist spot A and performs navigation. The navigation unit can also use the generation AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the navigation display method based on the estimated user's emotions.

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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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 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.

[0172] 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.
[0173] Each of the multiple elements including the reception unit, the generation unit, the proposal unit, the reservation unit, and the navigation unit described above is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414, and receives basic information from the user. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and creates an optimal itinerary using a generation AI. The proposal unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and suggests recommended stopovers using a generation AI. The reservation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and inquires about availability and makes a reservation. The navigation unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and performs navigation in conjunction with a map application. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above example, and various changes are possible.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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).
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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."
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
