[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 visa application support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports a user from collecting documents related to a visa application to correcting documents to be submitted. When a user inputs basic information such as a name and address, the system guides the user on which department to take to the local government office in the user's area to obtain the necessary documents. Furthermore, when the user uploads the documents he or she has collected to the system, the system corrects the documents and points out the necessary corrections. For example, when a user inputs information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo," the system provides specific guidance such as "Go to the family registry department of the Shinjuku Ward Office and bring your ID to obtain a resident's certificate." Furthermore, when the user uploads the documents he or she has collected to the system, the system gives specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature." This mechanism allows the user to apply for a visa at a lower cost than the agency fee, and allows the user to easily apply without spending time on collecting documents required for the procedure and writing the documents by himself or herself. For example, the user only needs to collect the documents required for a visa application and upload them to the system, and the system automatically corrects the documents and points out the necessary corrections, allowing the user to prepare accurate documents in a short time. This allows the visa application support system to assist users in everything from collecting documents related to visa applications to correcting submitted documents.

[0029] The visa application support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a guidance unit, an upload unit, and an analysis unit. The reception unit receives basic information of a user. The basic information of a user includes, for example, a name, an address, and a contact address, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit receives information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo" input by the user. The guidance unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and provides guidance to the government office. The guidance unit provides guidance, for example, on which department of the government office in the area where the user lives and what to take to obtain the necessary documents. For example, the guidance unit provides specific guidance such as "Go to the family registry department of Shinjuku Ward Office and bring your ID to obtain a resident's certificate." The upload unit uploads documents collected by the user. For example, the upload unit accepts documents collected by the user to be uploaded to the system. The analysis unit analyzes the documents uploaded by the upload unit and points out corrections. For example, the analysis unit provides specific guidance such as "This document requires a signature" for the uploaded documents. As a result, the visa application support system according to the embodiment can accept basic information from the user, guide the government office, upload documents, analyze, and point out corrections. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the uploaded documents to a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the documents and point out corrections.

[0030] The reception unit receives basic information of a user. The basic information of a user includes, for example, a name, an address, and contact information, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit receives information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo" input by the user. Specifically, the reception unit stores the information input by the user in a database and makes it available for subsequent processing. The information input by the user is collected through a web form or a mobile application, and also has a validation function for checking the accuracy of the input contents. For example, the address input field has an auto-complete function for a zip code, and when a user inputs a zip code, the corresponding address is automatically displayed. In addition, the contact input field performs a format check for a phone number and a domain check for an email address to prevent input errors. Furthermore, the reception unit encrypts and stores the information input by the user, ensuring thorough privacy protection. This makes it possible to minimize the risk of the user's personal information being leaked to a third party. The reception unit also has a function for checking the information input by the user in real time and prompting the user to correct it if necessary. For example, if the name input field contains special characters or if inaccurate information is entered in the address input field, an error message is displayed to prompt the user to correct it. In this way, the reception unit assists the user in inputting accurate and complete information, and ensures that subsequent processing proceeds smoothly.

[0031] The guidance unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and provides guidance on the government office. For example, the guidance unit provides guidance on which department of the government office in the area where the user lives and what to bring to obtain the necessary documents. Specifically, the guidance unit searches the database for information on the relevant government office based on the user's address information, and generates a list of necessary procedures and documents to bring. For example, if the user lives in Shinjuku Ward, the guidance unit provides information on the family registry department of the Shinjuku Ward Office and provides specific guidance such as that a resident's certificate can be obtained by bringing an ID card. The guidance unit also provides information on the business hours, contact information, map information, etc. of the government office, and supports the user to complete the procedures smoothly. Furthermore, the guidance unit can provide guidance customized according to the user's situation. For example, if the user is a foreign national, the necessary documents and procedures are different, so the guidance unit adjusts the guidance content taking that into consideration. In addition, if the user can complete the procedures online, the guidance unit also provides guidance on how to do so. For example, for documents that can be applied for online, the link to the application form and the steps of the necessary procedures are explained in detail. This enables the guidance section to assist the user in efficiently completing procedures at government offices, and to smoothly advance the visa application process.

[0032] The upload unit uploads documents collected by the user. For example, the upload unit accepts documents collected by the user to be uploaded to the system. Specifically, the upload unit accepts documents scanned by the user and image files taken with a smartphone, and stores these files in the system. The upload unit checks the file format and size to ensure that the documents are uploaded in an appropriate format. For example, the upload unit accepts files in PDF format and JPEG format, and encourages compression if the file size is too large. In addition, the upload unit provides a preview function for documents uploaded by the user, allowing the user to check the uploaded contents. This allows the user to check that the uploaded documents are accurate and re-upload them as necessary. In addition, the upload unit uses OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract text data from the uploaded documents, making the processing in the analysis unit more efficient. For example, important information such as names, addresses, and dates are automatically extracted from the uploaded documents and stored in a database. This allows the upload unit to efficiently import documents collected by the user into the system, and smoothly proceed with subsequent analysis processing.

[0033] The analysis unit analyzes the documents uploaded by the upload unit and points out corrections. For example, the analysis unit gives specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature" to the uploaded document. Specifically, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the contents of the uploaded document and identify necessary corrections and missing information. For example, AI analyzes the layout and text content of the document and displays a warning if the signature field is blank or if the required stamp is not affixed. Furthermore, the analysis unit checks whether the contents of the document meet the requirements for the visa application and points out missing or incorrect information. For example, a warning is displayed if the information written on the application form does not match the information on the passport or if the required attached documents are missing. The analysis unit guides the user to specific correction methods and additional procedures to assist in correcting the document. For example, it provides specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature. Please add a signature and re-upload." This allows the analysis unit to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the documents submitted by the user and to smoothly proceed with the visa application process. Furthermore, the analysis unit improves the accuracy of the analysis by having the AI ​​learn based on past data and similar application documents. This enables the analysis unit to always provide highly accurate analysis based on the latest information, and effectively support the user's visa application.

[0034] The upload unit can provide an interface that allows a user to upload documents. The interface includes, for example, usability, design elements, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The upload unit can provide, for example, an intuitive interface that allows a user to easily upload documents. For example, the upload unit can provide an interface with a drag-and-drop function. The upload unit can also display a file selection dialog so that a user can select and upload a file. Furthermore, the upload unit can also support uploading from a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. For example, the upload unit can take a picture of a document using a camera of a mobile device and upload the image. This allows a user to easily upload a document. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the upload unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the upload unit can input a user's operation history into AI and have AI design an optimal interface.

[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the contents of the document using AI and automatically indicate when necessary information is missing. AI includes, but is not limited to, technologies such as machine learning and deep learning. The analysis unit can analyze the contents of the document using, for example, a machine learning algorithm. For example, the analysis unit uses a machine learning model that takes text data of the document as input and outputs whether necessary information is missing. The analysis unit can also analyze the contents of the document using deep learning technology. For example, the analysis unit uses a deep learning model that takes image data of the document as input and outputs whether necessary information is missing. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the contents of the document using natural language processing technology. For example, the analysis unit analyzes text data of the document and automatically indicates when necessary information is missing. This makes it possible to automatically indicate when necessary information is missing. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the contents of the document to the generation AI and have the generation AI execute an analysis of whether necessary information is missing.

[0036] The analysis unit can automatically start the analysis immediately after uploading the document and provide feedback quickly. "Quickly" includes, but is not limited to, a time range such as within a few seconds or within a few minutes. The analysis unit can automatically start the analysis immediately after uploading the document, for example. For example, the analysis unit starts the analysis process as soon as the document is uploaded and provides feedback within a few seconds. The analysis unit can also provide feedback quickly based on the contents of the document. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the contents of the document and points out necessary corrections within a few seconds. Furthermore, the analysis unit can provide feedback in real time. For example, the analysis unit points out corrections in real time while analyzing the contents of the document. This makes it possible to provide feedback quickly immediately after uploading the document. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the contents of the document to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform quick feedback.

[0037] The guidance unit can provide detailed guidance on what to take to which department of the local government office in the user's area to obtain the necessary documents. Details include, for example, the depth of the information to be provided and the means to provide it, but are not limited to such examples. The guidance unit provides, for example, guidance on what to take to which department of the local government office in the user's area to obtain the necessary documents. For example, the guidance unit provides specific guidance such as "Go to the family registry department of Shinjuku Ward Office and bring your ID to obtain a resident's certificate." The guidance unit can also provide information such as the business hours and congestion status of the government office.

[0060] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0061] Step 1: The reception unit receives basic information of a user. The basic information of a user includes a name, an address, a contact address, etc. For example, the reception unit receives information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo" input by the user. Step 2: The information section analyzes the information received by the reception section and provides guidance to the government office. For example, it provides guidance on what to take to which department in the government office in the area where the user lives in order to obtain the necessary documents. Specifically, it provides guidance such as "Go to the family registry section of Shinjuku Ward Office and bring your ID to obtain a resident registration card." Step 3: The upload unit uploads documents collected by the user, for example, accepting documents collected by the user to be uploaded to the system. Step 4: The analysis unit analyzes the document uploaded by the upload unit and points out corrections. For example, the analysis unit gives specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature" to the uploaded document. The analysis unit may use AI to perform the process, and a generation AI may be used to analyze the document and point out corrections.

[0062] (Example 2) The visa application support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports a user from collecting documents related to a visa application to correcting documents to be submitted. When a user inputs basic information such as a name and address, the system guides the user on which department to take to the local government office in the user's area to obtain the necessary documents. Furthermore, when the user uploads the documents he or she has collected to the system, the system corrects the documents and points out the necessary corrections. For example, when a user inputs information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo," the system provides specific guidance such as "Go to the family registry department of the Shinjuku Ward Office and bring your ID to obtain a resident's certificate." Furthermore, when the user uploads the documents he or she has collected to the system, the system gives specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature." This mechanism allows the user to apply for a visa at a lower cost than the agency fee, and allows the user to easily apply without spending time on collecting documents required for the procedure and writing the documents by himself or herself. For example, the user only needs to collect the documents required for a visa application and upload them to the system, and the system automatically corrects the documents and points out the necessary corrections, allowing the user to prepare accurate documents in a short time. This allows the visa application support system to assist users in everything from collecting documents related to visa applications to correcting submitted documents.

[0063] The visa application support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a guidance unit, an upload unit, and an analysis unit. The reception unit receives basic information of a user. The basic information of a user includes, for example, a name, an address, and a contact address, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit receives information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo" input by the user. The guidance unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and provides guidance to the government office. The guidance unit provides guidance, for example, on which department of the government office in the area where the user lives and what to take to obtain the necessary documents. For example, the guidance unit provides specific guidance such as "Go to the family registry department of Shinjuku Ward Office and bring your ID to obtain a resident's certificate." The upload unit uploads documents collected by the user. For example, the upload unit accepts documents collected by the user to be uploaded to the system. The analysis unit analyzes the documents uploaded by the upload unit and points out corrections. For example, the analysis unit provides specific guidance such as "This document requires a signature" for the uploaded documents. As a result, the visa application support system according to the embodiment can accept basic information from the user, guide the government office, upload documents, analyze, and point out corrections. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the uploaded documents to a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the documents and point out corrections.

[0064] The reception unit receives basic information of a user. The basic information of a user includes, for example, a name, an address, and contact information, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit receives information such as "Taro Yamada, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo" input by the user. Specifically, the reception unit stores the information input by the user in a database and makes it available for subsequent processing. The information input by the user is collected through a web form or a mobile application, and also has a validation function for checking the accuracy of the input contents. For example, the address input field has an auto-complete function for a zip code, and when a user inputs a zip code, the corresponding address is automatically displayed. In addition, the contact input field performs a format check for a phone number and a domain check for an email address to prevent input errors. Furthermore, the reception unit encrypts and stores the information input by the user, ensuring thorough privacy protection. This makes it possible to minimize the risk of the user's personal information being leaked to a third party. The reception unit also has a function for checking the information input by the user in real time and prompting the user to correct it if necessary. For example, if the name input field contains special characters or if inaccurate information is entered in the address input field, an error message is displayed to prompt the user to correct it. In this way, the reception unit assists the user in inputting accurate and complete information, and ensures that subsequent processing proceeds smoothly.

[0065] The guidance unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and provides guidance on the government office. For example, the guidance unit provides guidance on which department of the government office in the area where the user lives and what to bring to obtain the necessary documents. Specifically, the guidance unit searches the database for information on the relevant government office based on the user's address information, and generates a list of necessary procedures and documents to bring. For example, if the user lives in Shinjuku Ward, the guidance unit provides information on the family registry department of the Shinjuku Ward Office and provides specific guidance such as that a resident's certificate can be obtained by bringing an ID card. The guidance unit also provides information on the business hours, contact information, map information, etc. of the government office, and supports the user to complete the procedures smoothly. Furthermore, the guidance unit can provide guidance customized according to the user's situation. For example, if the user is a foreign national, the necessary documents and procedures are different, so the guidance unit adjusts the guidance content taking that into consideration. In addition, if the user can complete the procedures online, the guidance unit also provides guidance on how to do so. For example, for documents that can be applied for online, the link to the application form and the steps of the necessary procedures are explained in detail. This enables the guidance section to assist the user in efficiently completing procedures at government offices, and to smoothly advance the visa application process.

[0066] The upload unit uploads documents collected by the user. For example, the upload unit accepts documents collected by the user to be uploaded to the system.

For example, the upload unit accepts files in PDF format and JPEG format, and encourages compression if the file size is too large. In addition, the upload unit provides a preview function for documents uploaded by the user, allowing the user to check the uploaded contents. This allows the user to check that the uploaded documents are accurate and re-upload them as necessary. In addition, the upload unit uses OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract text data from the uploaded documents, making the processing in the analysis unit more efficient. For example, important information such as names, addresses, and dates are automatically extracted from the uploaded documents and stored in a database. This allows the upload unit to efficiently import documents collected by the user into the system, and smoothly proceed with subsequent analysis processing.

[0067] The analysis unit analyzes the documents uploaded by the upload unit and points out corrections. For example, the analysis unit gives specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature" to the uploaded document. Specifically, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the contents of the uploaded document and identify necessary corrections and missing information. For example, AI analyzes the layout and text content of the document and displays a warning if the signature field is blank or if the required stamp is not affixed. Furthermore, the analysis unit checks whether the contents of the document meet the requirements for the visa application and points out missing or incorrect information. For example, a warning is displayed if the information written on the application form does not match the information on the passport or if the required attached documents are missing. The analysis unit guides the user to specific correction methods and additional procedures to assist in correcting the document. For example, it provides specific instructions such as "This document requires a signature. Please add a signature and re-upload." This allows the analysis unit to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the documents submitted by the user and to smoothly proceed with the visa application process. Furthermore, the analysis unit improves the accuracy of the analysis by having the AI ​​learn based on past data and similar application documents.

[0160] 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.

[0161] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, guidance unit, upload unit, and analysis unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives basic information of the user. The guidance unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and provides guidance to government offices in the area where the user lives. The upload unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and uploads documents collected by the user to the system. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the uploaded documents and points out corrections. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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).

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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."

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.
