In addition, in this specification, the same idea as "A and / or B" is also applied when three or more things are expressed by connecting them with "and / or."
[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (e.g., a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see FIG. 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] Output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to a user by outputting the data in a form of expression that the user can perceive (e.g., voice and / or text). Display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from processor 46. Speaker 40B outputs voice according to instructions from processor 46. Camera 42 is a compact digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor or a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) image sensor.
[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for transmitting and receiving various types of information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.
[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The intention expression support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports the intention expression and learning of children with special needs and elderly people. In this system, a user inputs the content of the intention he / she wants to express, and a generation AI analyzes the input and suggests appropriate expressions and actions. The proposed expressions and actions are presented to the user, and the user expresses his / her intention by selecting them. For example, if a child wants to convey that he / she is "hungry," he / she inputs the content, and the generation AI suggests the expression "I want to eat" or the action "prepare a meal." This mechanism allows children with special needs and elderly people to communicate their intentions more clearly. It can also be used in learning situations, and the generation AI suggests a learning plan so that children can learn at their own pace. In this way, the intention expression support system can support the intention expression and learning of children with special needs and elderly people.
[0029] The intention expression support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, and a presentation unit. The reception unit inputs an intention of a user. The intention of the user includes, for example, text input, voice input, gesture, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit includes, for example, a keyboard or a touch screen for receiving text input. Also, a microphone or voice recognition technology for receiving voice input can be used. Furthermore, a camera or gesture recognition technology for receiving gesture input can be used. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the content input by the reception unit and generate an appropriate expression or action. The generation AI uses, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the content of the user's input and generate an appropriate expression or action. The generation AI can also use a multimodal generation AI to analyze the content of the user's input and generate an appropriate expression or action. For example, when the user inputs "I'm hungry," the generation AI generates an expression of "I want to eat" or an action of "preparing a meal." The presentation unit presents the expression or action generated by the generation unit to the user and allows the user to select it. The presentation unit presents the generated expression and behavior to the user using, for example, a display or a speaker. The presentation unit can also present a plurality of options to make it easier for the user to select. For example, the presentation unit displays the expression "want to eat" and the behavior "prepare a meal" on the display, and the user can select one using a touch screen. In this way, the intention expression support system according to the embodiment can efficiently analyze the intention of the user, generate appropriate expressions and behaviors, and present them.
[0030] The reception unit inputs the user's expression of intention. The user's expression of intention includes, but is not limited to, for example, text input, voice input, gesture, and the like. The reception unit includes, for example, a keyboard and a touch screen for receiving text input. This allows the user to easily input text. Touch screens allow intuitive operation and are widely used, particularly in devices such as smartphones and tablets. In addition, a microphone and voice recognition technology can be used for receiving voice input. Voice recognition technology is a technology that converts the words spoken by a user into text, and is particularly useful for situations in which the hands cannot be used or for visually impaired people. Furthermore, a camera and gesture recognition technology can be used for receiving gesture input. Gesture recognition technology is a technology that detects the movement of the user's hands or body and interprets it as a specific command, and for example, "yes" or "no" can be expressed by waving one's hand. This allows the reception unit to provide a variety of input methods and efficiently receive the user's expression of intention. Furthermore, the reception unit can use these input methods in combination, which can improve the user's convenience. For example, a user can use text input and voice input in combination to more accurately express his or her intention.
[0031] The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the content input by the reception unit and generate appropriate expressions and actions. The generation AI uses, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze the user's input content and generate appropriate expressions and actions. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the text and voice input by the user and generates an optimal response based on the content. For example, if the user inputs "I'm hungry," the generation AI understands the intention and generates the expression "I want to eat" and the action "prepare a meal." The generation AI can also analyze the user's input content and generate appropriate expressions and actions using a multimodal generation AI. Multimodal generation AI is a technology that analyzes multiple input modes, such as not only text but also voice, images, and gestures, and integrates them to generate an optimal response. For example, if a user indicates "I want to eat" with a gesture, the generation AI can analyze the gesture and generate the action "prepare a meal." In addition, the generation AI can also generate a more personalized response by taking into account the user's past input history and context. This enables the generation unit to efficiently analyze the various input contents of the user and generate appropriate expressions and actions.
[0032] The presentation unit presents the expressions and actions generated by the generation unit to the user and allows the user to select. The presentation unit presents the generated expressions and actions to the user using, for example, a display or a speaker. The display is a device for visually presenting information, and allows the user to intuitively understand the generated expressions and actions. For example, the expression "I want to eat" and the action "prepare a meal" are displayed on the display, and the user can select using a touch screen. The speaker is a device for presenting information by voice, and is particularly useful for visually impaired people and those who cannot use their hands. The speaker can be used to convey the generated expressions and actions to the user by voice. Furthermore, the presentation unit can present multiple options to make it easier for the user to select. For example, when the user inputs "I want to eat," the presentation unit presents multiple options such as "go to a restaurant," "order delivery," and "cook at home," allowing the user to select the most suitable option. In this way, the presentation unit can effectively present the expressions and actions generated by the generation unit to the user and assist the user in making an appropriate selection. Furthermore, the presentation unit can record the user's selection history and optimize the presentation content for the next time and thereafter. This allows the presentation unit to improve user convenience and increase the efficiency of the entire system.
[0033] The intention expression support system has a customization function according to the attributes of the user. The customization function customizes the system according to the attributes of the user. The user attributes include, but are not limited to, for example, age, sex, and interests. The customization function adjusts the content and interface to be displayed according to the age of the user. For example, a visually easy-to-understand interface is provided for children, and the font size is increased for the elderly. The customization function can also preferentially display related information and options based on the user's interests. For example, if a user has a specific hobby or interest, information related to the hobby or interest is preferentially displayed. This allows the intention expression support system to customize the system according to the characteristics of the user.
[0034] The intention expression support system has a function in which the generation AI proposes a study plan. The study plan proposal function uses the generation AI to propose a study plan for the user. For example, when the user inputs the content he or she wants to learn, the generation AI analyzes the content and proposes an appropriate study plan. The study plan includes, but is not limited to, a study schedule, a selection of study materials, and a study method proposal. For example, if the user inputs "I want to learn mathematics," the generation AI proposes a study schedule and study materials according to the user's level. The generation AI can also adjust the study plan according to the user's learning progress. For example, if the user is struggling with a particular task, the generation AI proposes additional study materials and practice problems related to that task. This allows the intention expression support system to have the generation AI propose a study plan in the learning environment.
[0035] The intention expression support system has a function in which the generation AI receives feedback from the user, learns, and improves the proposed content. The feedback learning function uses the generation AI to receive feedback from the user, learns, and improves the proposed content. For example, when the user provides feedback on the proposed content, the generation AI analyzes the feedback and reflects it in the next proposed content. The feedback includes, but is not limited to, the user's evaluation, comments, and behavior history. For example, if the user evaluates the proposal as "useful," the generation AI learns based on the evaluation so as to make similar proposals in the future. Also, if the user evaluates the proposal as "not useful," the generation AI improves the proposed content based on the evaluation. In this way, the intention expression support system allows the generation AI to receive feedback from the user, learn, and improve the proposed content.
[0036] The reception unit can analyze the user's past intention expression history and select an appropriate input method. The reception unit, for example, stores the user's past intention expression history in a database and analyzes the data. The past intention expression history includes, for example, past input data, behavior history, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, preferentially suggests an input method that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also suggest an input method suitable for a specific time period from the user's past history. For example, if the user tends to use a specific input method in a specific time period, the reception unit suggests an input method suitable for that time period. The reception unit can also customize the input method based on the user's past history. For example, if the user prefers a specific input method, the reception unit preferentially suggests that input method. This allows the reception unit to select the optimal input method based on the user's past intention expression history. 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.
[0037] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the user's current situation and field of interest when inputting the intention. The reception unit, for example, acquires the user's current situation from a sensor or a database and analyzes the data. The current situation includes, for example, the user's location information, activity status, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit provides, for example, input options according to the user's current situation. The reception unit can also preferentially display related input options based on the user's field of interest. The field of interest includes, for example, past search history, browsing history, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, if the user has a specific field of interest, the reception unit preferentially displays input options related to the field of interest. The reception unit can also customize input options taking into account the user's current situation. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the reception unit provides input options related to the location. This allows the reception unit to perform filtering based on the user's current situation and field of interest. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0038] The reception unit can preferentially acquire a highly relevant expression of intention in consideration of the geographical location information of the user when inputting an expression of intention. For example, the reception unit acquires the geographical location information of the user from GPS data or an IP address, and analyzes the data. The geographical location information includes, for example, the user's current location, past visited places, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, when the user is in a specific location, the reception unit preferentially acquires an expression of intention related to the location. In addition, the reception unit can also suggest a related expression of intention based on the user's current location. For example, when the user is in a specific area, information and options related to the area are preferentially displayed. In addition, the reception unit can also acquire an optimal expression of intention in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially acquires an expression of intention related to the location. As a result, the reception unit can preferentially acquire an expression of intention in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. 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.
[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's online activity at the time of inputting the intention, and acquire the related intention. The reception unit, for example, acquires the user's social media activity and browsing history from a database, and analyzes the data. The online activity includes, for example, social media posts, the number of followers, browsing history, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, proposes the related intention from the user's social media activity. The reception unit can also analyze the user's online activity and acquire the optimal intention. For example, if the user is interested in a specific topic, the intention related to the topic is preferentially acquired. The reception unit can also preferentially acquire the related intention based on the user's social media activity. For example, if the user frequently uses a specific hashtag, the intention related to the hashtag is preferentially acquired. This allows the reception unit to acquire the related intention based on the user's online activity. 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.
[0040] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generation based on the importance of the intention at the time of generation. The generation unit, for example, acquires the importance of the intention of the user from a database and analyzes the data. The importance includes, for example, the content of the intention, the urgency, the user's evaluation, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed expression in the case of an important intention. In addition, in the case of a general intention, it can also generate a concise expression. In addition, in the case of an urgent intention, it can also generate an expression that can be quickly understood. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed explanation and a specific action for an intention marked by the user as "urgent". In addition, it can also generate a concise explanation and an action for an intention marked by the user as "general". In this way, the generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generation based on the importance of the intention. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0041] The generating unit can apply different generating algorithms depending on the category of the intention expression at the time of generation. For example, the generating unit acquires the category of the intention expression of the user from a database and analyzes the data. The categories include, for example, emotion expression, action suggestion, learning plan, etc., but are not limited to such examples. For example, in the case of emotion expression, the generating unit applies a generating algorithm specialized for emotion. In addition, in the case of action suggestion, a generating algorithm specialized for action can also be applied. In addition, in the case of learning plan, a generating algorithm specialized for learning can also be applied. For example, the generating unit generates an emotional expression using an emotion estimation algorithm for the emotion expression. In addition, in the case of action suggestion, a specific action can also be generated using an action estimation algorithm. In addition, in the learning plan, an effective learning plan can also be generated using a learning estimation algorithm. Thereby, the generating unit can apply different generating algorithms depending on the category of the intention expression. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generating unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0042] The generation unit can determine the priority of generation based on the submission time of the intention at the time of generation. The generation unit, for example, obtains the submission time of the intention of the user from a database and analyzes the data. The submission time includes, for example, a timestamp, calendar information, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation unit generates the intention of an urgent intention with the highest priority. In addition, in the case of a regular intention, it can be generated with normal priority. In addition, in the case of a future intention, it can be generated later. For example, the generation unit generates the intention of an intention marked by the user as "urgent" with the highest priority. In addition, in the case of an intention marked by the user as "regular", it can be generated with normal priority. In addition, in the case of an intention marked by the user as "future", it can be generated later. In this way, the generation unit can determine the priority of generation based on the submission time of the intention. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0043] The generation unit can adjust the order of generation based on the relevance of the intention expression at the time of generation. For example, the generation unit obtains the relevance of the intention expression of the user from a database and analyzes the data. The relevance includes, for example, the degree of agreement of the contents, related keywords, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation unit generates an intention expression of high relevance preferentially. In addition, it can also generate an intention expression of medium relevance next. In addition, it can also generate an intention expression of low relevance last. For example, the generation unit generates an intention expression marked by the user as "high relevance" preferentially. In addition, it can also generate an intention expression marked by the user as "medium relevance" next. In addition, it can also generate an intention expression marked by the user as "low relevance" last. In this way, the generation unit can adjust the order of generation based on the relevance of the intention expression. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0044] The presentation unit can select the optimal display method by referring to the user's past selection history at the time of presentation. The presentation unit, for example, acquires the user's past selection history from a database and analyzes the data. The selection history includes, for example, past selection data, click history, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The presentation unit, for example, preferentially provides the display method selected by the user in the past. The presentation unit can also suggest the optimal display method from the user's past selection history. The presentation unit can also customize the display method based on the user's past selection history. For example, if the user prefers a specific display method, the display method is preferentially provided. This allows the presentation unit to select the optimal display method based on the user's past selection history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0045] The presentation unit can customize the means of presentation based on the user's current situation at the time of presentation. The presentation unit, for example, acquires the user's current situation from a sensor or a database and analyzes the data. The current situation includes, for example, the user's location information, activity status, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The presentation unit, for example, provides a display method according to the user's current situation. The presentation unit can also propose an optimal display means in consideration of the user's current situation. The presentation unit can also customize the display means based on the user's current situation. For example, when the user is in a specific location, a display means related to the location is provided. This allows the presentation unit to customize the means of presentation based on the user's current situation. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0046] The presentation unit can select the optimal presentation method in consideration of the geographical location information of the user at the time of presentation. The presentation unit, for example, acquires the geographical location information of the user from GPS data or an IP address, and analyzes the data. The geographical location information includes, for example, the user's current location, past visited places, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, when the user is in a specific location, the presentation unit preferentially presents information related to the location. The presentation unit can also suggest the optimal presentation method based on the user's current location. The presentation unit can also select the optimal presentation method in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. For example, when the user is in a specific area, information and options related to the area are preferentially displayed. This allows the presentation unit to select the optimal presentation method in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the presentation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0047] The presentation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest a means of presentation at the time of presentation. The presentation unit, for example, acquires the user's social media activity from a database and analyzes the data. The social media activity includes, for example, the content of posts, the number of followers, browsing history, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The presentation unit, for example, preferentially presents related information from the user's social media activity.

[0054] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0055] The intention expression support system can further include an entertainment unit that provides entertainment content customized based on the user's hobbies and preferences. The entertainment unit analyzes the user's past viewing history and evaluation data, and suggests movies, music, games, etc. that the user may be interested in. For example, if the user likes movies of a particular genre, it can suggest new movies related to that genre. Also, if the user likes music by a particular artist, it can suggest new songs by that artist and songs by related artists. In this way, the intention expression support system can provide entertainment content according to the user's hobbies and preferences.
[0056] The intention expression support system can further include a learning style adaptation unit that suggests a learning method according to the user's learning style. The learning style adaptation unit analyzes the user's past learning history and feedback, and suggests the most effective learning method for the user. For example, if the user prefers visual learning, it can suggest learning materials that make extensive use of visual aids. Also, if the user prefers auditory learning, it can suggest audio learning materials or podcasts. Furthermore, if the user prefers practical learning, it can suggest experiments or project-based learning. In this way, the intention expression support system can provide the optimal learning method according to the user's learning style.
[0057] The intention expression support system may further include a social relationship analysis unit that adjusts the content of the suggestions taking into account the user's social relationships. The social relationship analysis unit analyzes the user's social media activities and contact data to suggest events and activities that the user may be interested in. For example, if the user frequently interacts with a specific friend, it may suggest events that the friend will participate in. Also, if the user belongs to a specific group, it may suggest activities and events related to the group. This allows the intention expression support system to make appropriate suggestions according to the user's social relationships.
[0058] The intention expression support system can further include a prediction unit that predicts future intentions based on the user's past intention history. The prediction unit analyzes the user's past input data and behavior history, and predicts what intention the user will express next. For example, if the user inputs "I'm hungry" at the same time every day, the system can automatically suggest a meal at that time. Also, if the user inputs "I'm nervous" before a specific event, the system can suggest relaxation before the event. This allows the intention expression support system to predict future intentions based on the user's past history and make appropriate suggestions.
[0059] The intention expression support system may further include an environment adaptation unit that adjusts the content of the proposal based on the user's current situation and environment. The environment adaptation unit analyzes the user's location information and surrounding environmental data, and makes proposals according to the user's current location and situation. For example, when the user is out, it can make suggestions of nearby restaurants and cafes. Also, when the user is at home, it can make suggestions of activities and relaxation methods that can be done at home. Furthermore, when the user is in an office, it can make suggestions to improve work efficiency. In this way, the intention expression support system can make appropriate suggestions according to the user's current situation and environment.
[0060] The intention expression support system can further include a region information providing unit that provides region-specific information based on the user's geographical location information. The region information providing unit analyzes the user's current location and past visited places, and provides information related to the region. For example, if the user is in a tourist spot, it can provide tourist spot and event information for that region. Also, if the user moves to a new region, it can provide lifestyle and community information for that region. Furthermore, if the user frequently visits a particular region, it can provide recommended restaurant and shop information for that region. In this way, the intention expression support system can provide region-specific information based on the user's geographical location information.
[0061] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0062] Step 1: The reception unit inputs a user's expression of intent. The user's expression of intent includes, for example, text input, voice input, gestures, etc. The reception unit can use a keyboard or touch screen for receiving text input, a microphone or voice recognition technology for receiving voice input, or a camera or gesture recognition technology for receiving gesture input. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the content entered by the reception unit and generate appropriate expressions and actions. The generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI to analyze the user's input and generate appropriate expressions and actions. For example, if the user enters "I'm hungry," it generates the expression "I want to eat" and the action "Prepare a meal." Step 3: The presentation unit presents the expressions and actions generated by the generation unit to the user and allows the user to select one. The presentation unit presents the generated expressions and actions to the user using a display and a speaker. The presentation unit can also present multiple options to make it easier for the user to select. For example, the expression "I want to eat" and the action "Prepare a meal" can be displayed on the display, and the user can select one using the touch screen.
[0063] (Example 2) The intention expression support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports the intention expression and learning of children with special needs and elderly people. In this system, a user inputs the content of the intention he / she wants to express, and a generation AI analyzes the input and suggests appropriate expressions and actions. The proposed expressions and actions are presented to the user, and the user expresses his / her intention by selecting them. For example, if a child wants to convey that he / she is "hungry," he / she inputs the content, and the generation AI suggests the expression "I want to eat" or the action "prepare a meal." This mechanism allows children with special needs and elderly people to communicate their intentions more clearly. It can also be used in learning situations, and the generation AI suggests a learning plan so that children can learn at their own pace. In this way, the intention expression support system can support the intention expression and learning of children with special needs and elderly people.
[0064] The intention expression support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, and a presentation unit. The reception unit inputs an intention of a user. The intention of the user includes, for example, text input, voice input, gesture, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit includes, for example, a keyboard or a touch screen for receiving text input. Also, a microphone or voice recognition technology for receiving voice input can be used. Furthermore, a camera or gesture recognition technology for receiving gesture input can be used. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the content input by the reception unit and generate an appropriate expression or action. The generation AI uses, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the content of the user's input and generate an appropriate expression or action. The generation AI can also use a multimodal generation AI to analyze the content of the user's input and generate an appropriate expression or action. For example, when the user inputs "I'm hungry," the generation AI generates an expression of "I want to eat" or an action of "preparing a meal." The presentation unit presents the expression or action generated by the generation unit to the user and allows the user to select it. The presentation unit presents the generated expression and behavior to the user using, for example, a display or a speaker. The presentation unit can also present a plurality of options to make it easier for the user to select. For example, the presentation unit displays the expression "want to eat" and the behavior "prepare a meal" on the display, and the user can select one using a touch screen. In this way, the intention expression support system according to the embodiment can efficiently analyze the intention of the user, generate appropriate expressions and behaviors, and present them.
[0065] The reception unit inputs the user's expression of intention. The user's expression of intention includes, but is not limited to, for example, text input, voice input, gesture, and the like. The reception unit includes, for example, a keyboard and a touch screen for receiving text input. This allows the user to easily input text. Touch screens allow intuitive operation and are widely used, particularly in devices such as smartphones and tablets. In addition, a microphone and voice recognition technology can be used for receiving voice input. Voice recognition technology is a technology that converts the words spoken by a user into text, and is particularly useful for situations in which the hands cannot be used or for visually impaired people. Furthermore, a camera and gesture recognition technology can be used for receiving gesture input. Gesture recognition technology is a technology that detects the movement of the user's hands or body and interprets it as a specific command, and for example, "yes" or "no" can be expressed by waving one's hand. This allows the reception unit to provide a variety of input methods and efficiently receive the user's expression of intention. Furthermore, the reception unit can use these input methods in combination, which can improve the user's convenience. For example, a user can use text input and voice input in combination to more accurately express his or her intention.
[0066] The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the content input by the reception unit and generate appropriate expressions and actions. The generation AI uses, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze the user's input content and generate appropriate expressions and actions. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the text and voice input by the user and generates an optimal response based on the content. For example, if the user inputs "I'm hungry," the generation AI understands the intention and generates the expression "I want to eat" and the action "prepare a meal." The generation AI can also analyze the user's input content and generate appropriate expressions and actions using a multimodal generation AI. Multimodal generation AI is a technology that analyzes multiple input modes, such as not only text but also voice, images, and gestures, and integrates them to generate an optimal response. For example, if a user indicates "I want to eat" with a gesture, the generation AI can analyze the gesture and generate the action "prepare a meal." In addition, the generation AI can also generate a more personalized response by taking into account the user's past input history and context. This enables the generation unit to efficiently analyze the various input contents of the user and generate appropriate expressions and actions.
[0067] The presentation unit presents the expressions and actions generated by the generation unit to the user and allows the user to select. The presentation unit presents the generated expressions and actions to the user using, for example, a display or a speaker. The display is a device for visually presenting information, and allows the user to intuitively understand the generated expressions and actions. For example, the expression "I want to eat" and the action "prepare a meal" are displayed on the display, and the user can select using a touch screen. The speaker is a device for presenting information by voice, and is particularly useful for visually impaired people and those who cannot use their hands. The speaker can be used to convey the generated expressions and actions to the user by voice. Furthermore, the presentation unit can present multiple options to make it easier for the user to select. For example, when the user inputs "I want to eat," the presentation unit presents multiple options such as "go to a restaurant," "order delivery," and "cook at home," allowing the user to select the most suitable option. In this way, the presentation unit can effectively present the expressions and actions generated by the generation unit to the user and assist the user in making an appropriate selection. Furthermore, the presentation unit can record the user's selection history and optimize the presentation content for the next time and thereafter. This allows the presentation unit to improve user convenience and increase the efficiency of the entire system.
[0068] The intention expression support system has a customization function according to the attributes of the user. The customization function customizes the system according to the attributes of the user. The user attributes include, but are not limited to, for example, age, sex, and interests. The customization function adjusts the content and interface to be displayed according to the age of the user. For example, a visually easy-to-understand interface is provided for children, and the font size is increased for the elderly. The customization function can also preferentially display related information and options based on the user's interests. For example, if a user has a specific hobby or interest, information related to the hobby or interest is preferentially displayed. This allows the intention expression support system to customize the system according to the characteristics of the user.
[0069] The intention expression support system has a function in which the generation AI proposes a study plan. The study plan proposal function uses the generation AI to propose a study plan for the user. For example, when the user inputs the content he or she wants to learn, the generation AI analyzes the content and proposes an appropriate study plan. The study plan includes, but is not limited to, a study schedule, a selection of study materials, and a study method proposal. For example, if the user inputs "I want to learn mathematics," the generation AI proposes a study schedule and study materials according to the user's level. The generation AI can also adjust the study plan according to the user's learning progress. For example, if the user is struggling with a particular task, the generation AI proposes additional study materials and practice problems related to that task. This allows the intention expression support system to have the generation AI propose a study plan in the learning environment.
[0070] The intention expression support system has a function in which the generation AI receives feedback from the user, learns, and improves the proposed content. The feedback learning function uses the generation AI to receive feedback from the user, learns, and improves the proposed content. For example, when the user provides feedback on the proposed content, the generation AI analyzes the feedback and reflects it in the next proposed content. The feedback includes, but is not limited to, the user's evaluation, comments, and behavior history. For example, if the user evaluates the proposal as "useful," the generation AI learns based on the evaluation so as to make similar proposals in the future. Also, if the user evaluates the proposal as "not useful," the generation AI improves the proposed content based on the evaluation. In this way, the intention expression support system allows the generation AI to receive feedback from the user, learn, and improve the proposed content.
[0071] The reception unit can analyze the user's emotion and adjust the input timing of the intention expression based on the analyzed emotion of the user. For example, the reception unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the reception unit calculates an emotion score based on the change in the facial expression. The reception unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using a voice analysis technique. For example, the reception unit analyzes the tone and speed of the voice and calculates an emotion score. The reception unit can also collect the user's biometric data (heart rate and electrodermal activity) with a sensor and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the reception unit calculates an emotion score based on the fluctuation of the heart rate. This makes it possible to adjust the input timing of the intention expression according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. For example, if the user is nervous, the reception unit waits for input until the user relaxes. Also, if the user is excited, it can prompt the user to input immediately. In addition, if the user is tired, the system can prompt the user to input after taking a break. This makes it possible to adjust the timing of inputting the user's intention depending on the user's emotions.
[0072] The reception unit can analyze the user's past intention expression history and select an appropriate input method. The reception unit, for example, stores the user's past intention expression history in a database and analyzes the data. The past intention expression history includes, for example, past input data, behavior history, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, preferentially suggests an input method that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also suggest an input method suitable for a specific time period from the user's past history. For example, if the user tends to use a specific input method in a specific time period, the reception unit suggests an input method suitable for that time period. The reception unit can also customize the input method based on the user's past history. For example, if the user prefers a specific input method, the reception unit preferentially suggests that input method. This allows the reception unit to select the optimal input method based on the user's past intention expression history. 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.
[0073] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the user's current situation and field of interest when inputting the intention. The reception unit, for example, acquires the user's current situation from a sensor or a database and analyzes the data. The current situation includes, for example, the user's location information, activity status, etc., but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit provides, for example, input options according to the user's current situation. The reception unit can also preferentially display related input options based on the user's field of interest. The field of interest includes, for example, past search history, browsing history, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, if the user has a specific field of interest, the reception unit preferentially displays input options related to the field of interest. The reception unit can also customize input options taking into account the user's current situation. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the reception unit provides input options related to the location. This allows the reception unit to perform filtering based on the user's current situation and field of interest. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0074] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and determine the priority of the intention to be input based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, the reception unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the reception unit calculates an emotion score based on the change in the facial expression. The reception unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using a voice analysis technique. For example, the reception unit analyzes the tone and speed of the voice and calculates the emotion score. The reception unit can also collect the user's biometric data (heart rate and electrodermal activity) with a sensor and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the reception unit calculates the emotion score based on the fluctuation of the heart rate. This makes it possible to determine the priority of the intention to be input according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the reception unit prioritizes important intentions when the user is nervous. Also, if the user is relaxed, a detailed expression of intention can be prioritized, whereas if the user is in a hurry, a quick expression of intention can be prioritized.In this way, the priority of the expressions of intention to be input can be determined according to the user's emotions.
[0075] The reception unit can preferentially acquire a highly relevant expression of intention in consideration of the geographical location information of the user when inputting an expression of intention. For example, the reception unit acquires the geographical location information of the user from GPS data or an IP address, and analyzes the data. The geographical location information includes, for example, the user's current location, past visited places, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, when the user is in a specific location, the reception unit preferentially acquires an expression of intention related to the location. In addition, the reception unit can also suggest a related expression of intention based on the user's current location. For example, when the user is in a specific area, information and options related to the area are preferentially displayed. In addition, the reception unit can also acquire an optimal expression of intention in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially acquires an expression of intention related to the location. As a result, the reception unit can preferentially acquire an expression of intention in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. 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.
[0076] The reception unit can analyze the user's online activity at the time of inputting the intention, and acquire the related intention. The reception unit, for example, acquires the user's social media activity and browsing history from a database, and analyzes the data. The online activity includes, for example, social media posts, the number of followers, browsing history, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, proposes the related intention from the user's social media activity. The reception unit can also analyze the user's online activity and acquire the optimal intention. For example, if the user is interested in a specific topic, the intention related to the topic is preferentially acquired. The reception unit can also preferentially acquire the related intention based on the user's social media activity. For example, if the user frequently uses a specific hashtag, the intention related to the hashtag is preferentially acquired. This allows the reception unit to acquire the related intention based on the user's online activity. 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.
[0077] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the expression and behavior expression method to be generated based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, the generation unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the generation unit calculates an emotion score based on the change in the facial expression. The generation unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using a voice analysis technique. For example, the generation unit analyzes the tone and speed of the voice and calculates the emotion score. The generation unit can also collect the user's biometric data (heart rate and electrodermal activity) with a sensor and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the generation unit calculates the emotion score based on the fluctuation of the heart rate. This makes it possible to adjust the expression and behavior expression method to be generated according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation unit generates a calm expression when the user is relaxed. In addition, if the user is excited, an active expression can be generated. In addition, if the user is nervous, a calm expression can be generated. In this way, the expression to be generated and the method of expressing the behavior can be adjusted according to the user's emotions.
[0078] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generation based on the importance of the intention at the time of generation. The generation unit, for example, acquires the importance of the intention of the user from a database and analyzes the data. The importance includes, for example, the content of the intention, the urgency, the user's evaluation, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed expression in the case of an important intention. In addition, in the case of a general intention, it can also generate a concise expression. In addition, in the case of an urgent intention, it can also generate an expression that can be quickly understood. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed explanation and a specific action for an intention marked by the user as "urgent". In addition, it can also generate a concise explanation and an action for an intention marked by the user as "general". In this way, the generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generation based on the importance of the intention. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0079] The generating unit can apply different generating algorithms depending on the category of the intention expression at the time of generation. For example, the generating unit acquires the category of the intention expression of the user from a database and analyzes the data. The categories include, for example, emotion expression, action suggestion, learning plan, etc., but are not limited to such examples. For example, in the case of emotion expression, the generating unit applies a generating algorithm specialized for emotion. In addition, in the case of action suggestion, a generating algorithm specialized for action can also be applied. In addition, in the case of learning plan, a generating algorithm specialized for learning can also be applied. For example, the generating unit generates an emotional expression using an emotion estimation algorithm for the emotion expression. In addition, in the case of action suggestion, a specific action can also be generated using an action estimation algorithm. In addition, in the learning plan, an effective learning plan can also be generated using a learning estimation algorithm. Thereby, the generating unit can apply different generating algorithms depending on the category of the intention expression. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generating unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0080] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the length of the expression or action to be generated based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, the generation unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the generation unit calculates an emotion score based on the change in facial expression. The generation unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using a voice analysis technique. For example, the generation unit analyzes the tone and speed of the voice and calculates an emotion score. The generation unit can also collect the user's biometric data (heart rate and electrodermal activity) with a sensor and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the generation unit calculates an emotion score based on the fluctuation of the heart rate. This makes it possible to adjust the length of the expression or action to be generated according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation unit generates a short expression when the user is in a hurry. Also, it can generate a detailed expression when the user is relaxed. In addition, if the user is excited, a visually stimulating expression can be generated. This allows the length of the expression or action to be adjusted according to the user's emotions.
[0081] The generation unit can determine the priority of generation based on the submission time of the intention at the time of generation.

The generation unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the input content using a generation AI to generate appropriate expressions and actions. The presentation unit presents the generated expressions and actions to the user using a display or a speaker of the robot 414. The customization function is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and adjusts the system according to the user's attributes. The study plan proposal function is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and proposes a study plan for the user using a generation AI. The feedback learning function is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and improves the proposal content by receiving feedback from the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] These emotions are distributed in the three 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.
[0170] 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 on emotion map 400 you go, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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."
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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 in which a processor is used 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
