[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 uses a generation AI to allow local residents to obtain information such as hospital availability and reservations, transportation operation and congestion, sales information for commercial facilities, and area-limited event information. This system collects information indicating the local situation, and the generation AI provides information to residents based on the collected information, accepts requests from residents, and supports facility attraction plans based on the requests. For example, when collecting information indicating the local situation, detailed data such as hospital availability, transportation operation, sales information for commercial facilities, and area-limited event information is collected using IoT and 5G. Next, the generation AI provides information to residents based on the collected information. The generation AI analyzes the collected data and provides information useful to residents. For example, it can analyze the operation and congestion of transportation and propose optimal travel routes. In addition, it is possible to enrich the lives of residents by providing sales information for commercial facilities and area-limited event information. Furthermore, it accepts requests from residents and supports facility attraction plans based on those requests. For example, if a resident wishes to attract a new commercial facility, the reception department accepts the request, and the support department supports the attraction plan based on the request. This allows local infrastructure to be optimized to meet the needs of residents. This system allows local residents to quickly obtain the information they need, optimizing local infrastructure. For example, by knowing hospital availability in real time, it is possible to respond quickly in emergencies. In addition, by knowing the operation status and congestion of public transportation, efficient travel is possible. Furthermore, by providing information on sales at commercial facilities and local events, it is possible to enrich the lives of residents. This allows local residents to quickly obtain the information they need, optimizing local infrastructure.
[0029] The information provision system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, a provision unit, a reception unit, and a support unit. The collection unit collects regional information indicating regional conditions. The regional information includes, for example, hospital availability, transportation operation status, sales information at commercial facilities, and regional event information, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit can collect hospital availability in real time, for example, using IoT or 5G. The collection unit can also collect the operation status and congestion status of transportation and provide it to residents. The collection unit can also collect sales information at commercial facilities and regional event information and provide it to residents. The provision unit uses a generation AI to analyze the collected data and provide information useful to residents. For example, the provision unit can analyze the operation status and congestion status of transportation and propose an optimal travel route. The provision unit can enrich the lives of residents by providing sales information at commercial facilities and regional event information. The generation AI provides information useful to residents using a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The reception unit accepts requests from residents. For example, when a resident wishes to attract a new commercial facility, the reception unit can receive the request. The support unit supports the facility attraction plan based on the request received by the reception unit. For example, the support unit can support the facility attraction plan based on the resident's request. In this way, the information providing system according to the embodiment allows local residents to quickly obtain necessary information, and optimizes local infrastructure. For example, by grasping the availability of hospitals in real time, it is possible to respond quickly in an emergency. In addition, by grasping the operation status and congestion status of transportation, efficient movement is possible. Furthermore, by providing sales information of commercial facilities and event information limited to the area, it is possible to enrich the lives of residents.
[0030] The collection unit collects regional information indicating regional conditions. Regional information includes, for example, hospital availability, transportation operation status, sales information at commercial facilities, and regional event information, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit can collect hospital availability in real time, for example, using IoT or 5G. Specifically, the collection unit cooperates with a hospital reservation system and a bed management system to obtain the current number of available beds and waiting time in real time. In addition, the collection unit can collect the operation status and congestion status of transportation and provide it to residents. The operation status of transportation is obtained from GPS data and a traffic management system, and bus and train delay information, operation suspension information, congestion degree, etc. are grasped in real time. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect sales information of commercial facilities and regional event information and provide it to residents. Sales information of commercial facilities is obtained from the store's POS system and online advertisement, and detailed information such as the start time of the sale, discount rate, and target products is collected. Regional event information is obtained from the event calendar of the local government and SNS, and the date and time, location, and participation conditions of the event are collected. This allows the collection department to collect a wide range of local information from various sources and provide useful information to residents. Furthermore, the collection department can centrally manage these data and link with other systems and departments as necessary. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server so that the provision department and support department can access it. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses according to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively and improve the performance of the entire system.
[0031] The provision unit uses the generation AI to analyze the collected data and provide information useful to residents. For example, the provision unit can analyze the operation status and congestion status of transportation facilities and propose the optimal travel route. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes traffic data and calculates the most efficient travel route based on the current congestion status and delay information. For example, it analyzes the operation status of buses and trains in real time and proposes alternative routes and optimal transfer points to avoid congestion. In addition, the provision unit can enrich the lives of residents by providing sales information of commercial facilities and event information limited to the area. The generation AI provides information useful to residents using text generation AI (e.g., LLM) and multimodal generation AI. For example, based on sales information, it generates personalized sales information taking into account the purchasing history and preferences of residents and notifies them of the sales information. In addition, it analyzes event information limited to the area and recommends events based on the interests and concerns of residents. The generation AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the collected data and provide information in a format that is easy for residents to understand. For example, traffic information and sales information can be displayed in simple text and graphics so that residents can intuitively understand. This allows the information providing unit to effectively analyze collected data and quickly provide useful information to residents. Furthermore, the information providing unit can collect feedback from residents and continuously improve the accuracy and usefulness of the information provided. For example, when residents rate and comment on the information provided, the generation AI learns from that feedback and reflects it in the information provided from the next time onwards. This allows the information providing unit to always provide the most appropriate information to residents and improve the quality of life in the area.
[0032] The reception department accepts requests from residents. For example, if a resident wishes to attract a new commercial facility, the reception department can accept the request. Specifically, the reception department accepts requests from residents through an online form or a dedicated app. Residents can enter the necessary information into the form and submit the request. The reception department saves the accepted requests in a database and shares them with the support department and other related departments. The reception department also categorizes the contents of the requests and sets priorities to enable efficient responses. For example, requests with high urgency or requests submitted by many residents are given priority. Furthermore, the reception department can notify residents of the acceptance status and progress of the request. For example, an email is sent to confirm that the request has been accepted, and the subsequent progress is periodically reported. This allows residents to understand how their requests are being handled. The reception department can facilitate communication with residents and support prompt and appropriate responses to requests. Furthermore, the reception department can collect feedback from residents and use it to improve the entire system. For example, based on feedback on the process of accepting requests and the speed of response, improvements to the system can be identified and reflected in future responses. This enables the reception department to respond quickly and appropriately to residents' requests and improve the living environment in the area.
[0033] The support department supports the attraction plan for the facility based on the request received by the reception department. For example, the support department can support the attraction plan for a new commercial facility based on the request of the residents. Specifically, the support department analyzes the request from the residents and investigates the needs and market trends of the area. For example, if the residents wish to attract a new supermarket, the support department investigates the demographics and purchasing power of the area and the status of existing commercial facilities to evaluate the possibility of attracting the new supermarket. In addition, the support department cooperates with the operating company of the commercial facility and the local government to materialize the attraction plan. For example, the support department explains the needs and market trends of the area to the operating company of the commercial facility and proposes the merits of the attraction. Furthermore, the support department reports the progress of the attraction plan to the residents and ensures transparency. For example, the support department periodically reports on progress so that the residents can grasp the progress of the plan. In this way, the support department can effectively support the attraction plan for the facility based on the request of the residents and improve the living environment of the area. Furthermore, even after the implementation of the attraction plan, the support department can monitor the operation status of the facility and make improvement proposals as necessary. For example, after a new commercial facility opens, the support department collects information about its use and feedback from residents and proposes improvements to the operating company, helping to ensure the success of the attraction plan and continually improving the living environment in the area.
[0034] The collection unit can collect data on hospital availability, transportation operation status, sales information at commercial facilities, and area-limited event information using IoT or 5G. The collection unit can collect hospital availability in real time using IoT technology, for example. For example, a sensor detects the availability and reservation status of hospital beds and collects data. The collection unit can also collect transportation operation status and congestion status using 5G technology. For example, the transportation operation schedule and delay information are collected in real time and provided to residents. Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect sales information at commercial facilities and area-limited event information. For example, the discount rate and sale period of the commercial facility are collected and provided to residents. As a result, detailed data can be collected efficiently by using IoT or 5G. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input data collected by a sensor into AI and have AI perform analysis of the data.
[0035] The providing unit can analyze the collected data and provide information useful to the residents. The providing unit can, for example, analyze the collected data and provide information useful to the residents. For example, the providing unit can analyze the operation status and congestion status of transportation facilities and propose an optimal travel route. The providing unit can also enrich the lives of the residents by providing sales information of commercial facilities and area-limited event information. The generating AI provides information useful to the residents using a text generating AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generating AI. For example, the generating AI can analyze the operation status and congestion status of transportation facilities and propose an optimal travel route. The generating AI can also enrich the lives of the residents by providing sales information of commercial facilities and area-limited event information. This allows the collected data to be analyzed to provide information useful to the residents. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the providing unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the collected data to AI and have the AI execute analysis of the data.
[0036] The reception unit can receive requests from residents. For example, when a resident wishes to attract a new commercial facility, the reception unit can receive the request. For example, the reception unit can allow residents to submit requests through an online form. The reception unit can also allow residents to submit requests through telephone or email. Furthermore, the reception unit can allow residents to submit requests directly at the counter. This allows responses according to local needs to be made by receiving requests from residents. 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 requests submitted through an online form into AI and have the AI analyze the requests.
[0037] The support unit can support the attraction plan for the facility based on the request received by the reception unit. The support unit can support the attraction plan for a new commercial facility based on, for example, the request of the residents. For example, the support unit analyzes the location conditions and demand of the commercial facility based on the request of the residents, and proposes an optimal attraction plan. The support unit can also support the installation plan for a public facility based on the request of the residents. For example, the support unit analyzes the installation location and size of the public facility based on the request of the residents, and proposes an optimal installation plan. As a result, the attraction plan for the facility is supported based on the request received by the reception unit, and the regional infrastructure is optimized to meet the needs of the residents. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the support unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the support unit can input the request of the residents into AI and have the AI execute the analysis of the attraction plan.
[0038] The collection unit can analyze the past data collection history and select an appropriate collection method. For example, the collection unit identifies the most efficient collection time period from the past data collection history and collects information during that time period. For example, the collection unit adjusts the collection frequency from a specific data source based on the past data collection history. The collection unit can also analyze the past data collection history and apply an algorithm for optimizing the collection method. For example, the collection unit develops an algorithm for selecting an optimal collection method based on the past data collection history. In this way, the optimal collection method can be selected by analyzing the past data collection history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the past data collection history into AI and cause AI to select the optimal collection method.
[0039] The collection unit can adjust the type of data to be collected based on a specific event or season in the region when collecting information. For example, when a specific event in the region is held, the collection unit preferentially collects information related to the event. For example, the collection unit collects information related to festivals and sporting events in the region. The collection unit can also collect specific data for each season (e.g., summer tourist information, winter traffic information). For example, the collection unit collects congestion status and event information at tourist spots in the summer, and collects operation status of transportation facilities and the impact of snow in the winter. Furthermore, the collection unit can adjust the type of data to be collected based on an annual event calendar in the region. For example, the collection unit collects information related to annual events in the region and provides it to residents. As a result, by adjusting the type of data to be collected based on a specific event or season in the region, more relevant information can be collected. A part 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 event information in the region to AI and have the AI adjust the type of data to be collected.
[0040] When collecting information, the collection unit can preferentially collect highly relevant data in consideration of the geographical characteristics of the region. The collection unit, for example, preferentially collects the operation status of transportation based on the geographical characteristics of the region. For example, the collection unit collects the operation status and congestion status of transportation according to the geographical characteristics of the region, such as mountainous areas and urban areas. The collection unit can also preferentially collect sales information of commercial facilities based on the geographical characteristics of the region. For example, the collection unit collects sales information of commercial facilities in urban areas and sales information of shopping malls in suburban areas. Furthermore, the collection unit can also preferentially collect vacancy status of hospitals based on the geographical characteristics of the region. For example, the collection unit collects vacancy status of hospitals based on the distribution and access status of medical facilities in the region. As a result, more useful information can be provided by preferentially collecting highly relevant data in consideration of the geographical characteristics of the region. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input data regarding the geographical characteristics of the region to AI and have AI determine the priority order of data to be collected.
[0041] The collection unit can analyze local social media activities and collect related data when collecting information. For example, the collection unit analyzes local social media activities and collects event information. For example, the collection unit analyzes the content of posts on social media and the usage of hashtags to collect local event information. The collection unit can also analyze local social media activities and collect the operation status of transportation. For example, the collection unit collects delay information and congestion status of transportation based on the content of posts on social media. Furthermore, the collection unit can analyze local social media activities and collect sales information of commercial facilities. For example, the collection unit collects sales information and discount information of commercial facilities based on the content of posts on social media. In this way, by analyzing local social media activities, related data can be efficiently collected. Part 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 the posted data on social media to AI and cause AI to collect related data.
[0042] The providing unit can adjust the level of detail of the information provided based on the importance of the information when providing the information. For example, the providing unit provides information of high importance (e.g., availability of hospitals) in detail. For example, the providing unit provides the availability and reservation status of hospitals in detail so that residents can respond quickly. The providing unit can also provide information of low importance (e.g., sale information of commercial facilities) in a concise manner. For example, the providing unit provides the discount rate and sale period of commercial facilities in a concise manner so that residents can quickly obtain the necessary information. Furthermore, the providing unit can dynamically adjust the level of detail of the information according to the importance. For example, the providing unit provides information of high urgency in detail and provides information of low urgency in a concise manner. As a result, by adjusting the level of detail of the information provided based on the importance of the information, more appropriate information can be provided. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the importance of the information to AI and cause AI to adjust the level of detail of the information provided.
[0043] The providing unit can apply different providing algorithms depending on the category of information at the time of providing. For example, the providing unit applies an algorithm that is updated in real time to information regarding the availability of hospital beds. For example, the providing unit updates the availability and reservation status of hospital beds in real time and provides the information to residents. The providing unit can also apply a prediction algorithm to information regarding the operation status of transportation. For example, the providing unit predicts the operation schedule and delay information of transportation and provides it to residents. Furthermore, the providing unit can apply an algorithm that is updated periodically to information regarding sales information of commercial facilities. For example, the providing unit regularly updates the discount rate and sale period of the commercial facility and provides it to residents. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by applying different providing algorithms depending on the category of information. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the category of information to AI and cause AI to apply the providing algorithm.
[0044] The providing unit can determine the priority of the information provided based on the time of collection of the information at the time of providing. The providing unit, for example, provides the latest information with priority. For example, the providing unit provides the latest information, such as the availability of hospitals and the operation status of transportation facilities, with priority, so that residents can respond quickly. The providing unit can also lower the priority of the information collected old. For example, the providing unit lowers the priority of the information collected old, such as sales information of commercial facilities and event information limited to a region. Furthermore, the providing unit can dynamically adjust the order of information provided based on the collection time. For example, the providing unit provides information with a high degree of urgency with priority, and postpones the order of information with a low degree of urgency. As a result, the latest information can be provided with priority by determining the priority of the information provided based on the time of collection of the information. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the time of collection of the information to AI and allow AI to determine the priority of the information provided.
[0045] The providing unit can adjust the order of provision based on the relevance of information at the time of provision. For example, the providing unit preferentially provides information that is most relevant to the user's current situation. For example, the providing unit preferentially provides information that is highly relevant based on the user's current location information and behavior history. The providing unit can also postpone the order of provision of information with low relevance. For example, the providing unit postpones the order of provision of information in which the user has low interest.

Specifically, the collection unit cooperates with a hospital reservation system and a bed management system to obtain the current number of available beds and waiting time in real time. In addition, the collection unit can collect the operation status and congestion status of transportation and provide it to residents. The operation status of transportation is obtained from GPS data and a traffic management system, and bus and train delay information, operation suspension information, congestion degree, etc. are grasped in real time. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect sales information of commercial facilities and regional event information and provide it to residents. Sales information of commercial facilities is obtained from the store's POS system and online advertisement, and detailed information such as the start time of the sale, discount rate, and target products is collected. Regional event information is obtained from the event calendar of the local government and SNS, and the date and time, location, and participation conditions of the event are collected. This allows the collection department to collect a wide range of local information from various sources and provide useful information to residents. Furthermore, the collection department can centrally manage these data and link with other systems and departments as necessary. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server so that the provision department and support department can access it. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses according to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively and improve the performance of the entire system.
[0066] The provision unit uses the generation AI to analyze the collected data and provide information useful to residents. For example, the provision unit can analyze the operation status and congestion status of transportation facilities and propose the optimal travel route. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes traffic data and calculates the most efficient travel route based on the current congestion status and delay information. For example, it analyzes the operation status of buses and trains in real time and proposes alternative routes and optimal transfer points to avoid congestion. In addition, the provision unit can enrich the lives of residents by providing sales information of commercial facilities and event information limited to the area. The generation AI provides information useful to residents using text generation AI (e.g., LLM) and multimodal generation AI. For example, based on sales information, it generates personalized sales information taking into account the purchasing history and preferences of residents and notifies them of the sales information. In addition, it analyzes event information limited to the area and recommends events based on the interests and concerns of residents. The generation AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the collected data and provide information in a format that is easy for residents to understand.

[0079] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the expression method of information provision based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, when the user is nervous, the providing unit provides a simple and highly visible expression method. For example, the providing unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. In addition, when the user is relaxed, the providing unit can also provide an expression method including detailed information. For example, the providing unit records the user's voice and estimates the emotion using a voice analysis technology. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the providing unit can also provide an expression method that covers the main points. For example, the providing unit collects the user's biometric data (heart rate and electrodermal activity) with a sensor and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by adjusting the expression method of information provision 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 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 providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0080] The providing unit can adjust the level of detail of the information provided based on the importance of the information when providing the information. For example, the providing unit provides information of high importance (e.g., availability of hospitals) in detail. For example, the providing unit provides the availability and reservation status of hospitals in detail so that residents can respond quickly. The providing unit can also provide information of low importance (e.g., sale information of commercial facilities) in a concise manner. For example, the providing unit provides the discount rate and sale period of commercial facilities in a concise manner so that residents can quickly obtain the necessary information. Furthermore, the providing unit can dynamically adjust the level of detail of the information according to the importance. For example, the providing unit provides information of high urgency in detail and provides information of low urgency in a concise manner. As a result, by adjusting the level of detail of the information provided based on the importance of the information, more appropriate information can be provided.

The providing unit can also lower the priority of the information collected old. For example, the providing unit lowers the priority of the information collected old, such as sales information of commercial facilities and event information limited to a region. Furthermore, the providing unit can dynamically adjust the order of information provided based on the collection time. For example, the providing unit provides information with a high degree of urgency with priority, and postpones the order of information with a low degree of urgency. As a result, the latest information can be provided with priority by determining the priority of the information provided based on the time of collection of the information. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the time of collection of the information to AI and allow AI to determine the priority of the information provided.
[0084] The providing unit can adjust the order of provision based on the relevance of information at the time of provision.

[0161] 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.

[0162] For example, the collection unit can collect local information using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The provision unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the collected data and provides information useful to residents.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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).
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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."
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] The above description and illustrations are detailed descriptions of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. 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.
