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 alarm system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that stimulates intellectual curiosity by collecting attribute information of a user, selecting news that is likely to interest the user through a generation AI, and conveying a part of the news through a synthetic voice. This alarm system stimulates intellectual curiosity by collecting attribute information of a user, selecting news that is likely to interest the user through a generation AI, and conveying a part of the news through a synthetic voice. When a user is interested in the news, their mind becomes clear as they investigate the details, and they wake up. By using this alarm, the user is freed from the loud alarm sound every morning, and they can wake up actively of their own volition. For example, the attribute information of the user is collected. For example, information such as age, gender, occupation, and hobbies is collected. This information is input to the generation AI. Next, the generation AI analyzes the collected attribute information and selects news that may interest the user. For example, the latest sports news is selected for a user who likes sports, and the latest technology news is selected for a user who is interested in technology. The selected news is conveyed to the user through a synthetic voice. For example, a part of the news is delivered by synthetic voice, such as "Good morning. Today's news. We will tell you the latest technology news." In addition, it is investigated whether the user has looked into the details of the news delivered. For example, it is checked whether the user clicked on a link in the app to look up the details of the news. This information is fed back to the generation AI and used for the next news selection. With this mechanism, users are freed from the shrill alarm sound every morning and can actively wake up of their own volition. For example, as they look up the details of a news item that interests them, they naturally wake up. In addition, the generation AI selects news that interests the user, making waking up every morning fun. This allows the alarm system to provide interesting news based on the user's attribute information, promoting natural waking.

[0029] The alarm system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, a selection unit, a voice unit, and a survey unit. The collection unit collects attribute information of a user. The attribute information of a user includes, for example, age, sex, occupation, and hobbies, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit collects the attribute information of a user, for example, by using a questionnaire. The collection unit can also collect the attribute information of a user by using a sensor. For example, the collection unit can also collect the attribute information of a user by using online data. The selection unit uses a generation AI to analyze the attribute information collected by the collection unit and selects news that may interest the user. The generation AI selects news, for example, by using a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The selection unit can also use the generation AI to select news based on the attribute information of a user. For example, the generation AI selects the latest sports news for a user who likes sports. For a user who is interested in technology, it selects the latest technology news. The voice unit conveys the news selected by the selection unit to the user by synthetic voice. The synthetic voice is generated, for example, by using a voice synthesis engine. The voice unit can also deliver the news using synthetic voice. For example, the voice unit delivers a part of the news using synthetic voice, such as "Good morning. Today's news. I'll tell you the latest technology news." The survey unit investigates whether the user has confirmed the details of the news delivered by the voice unit. The survey is performed, for example, by counting the number of clicks. The survey unit can also check the details of the news using user feedback. For example, the survey unit checks whether the user clicked on a link in the app to check the details of the news. In this way, the alarm system according to the embodiment can provide interesting news based on the user's attribute information, and promote natural waking.

[0030] The collection unit collects attribute information of the user. The user's attribute information includes, but is not limited to, for example, age, sex, occupation, and hobbies. The collection unit collects the user's attribute information, for example, using a questionnaire. The questionnaire is provided in the form of an online form or a question in an app, and is designed so that the user can easily answer it. The collection unit can also collect the user's attribute information using a sensor. For example, data such as the user's activity level and sleep pattern can be collected through a wearable device such as a smart watch or a fitness tracker. This allows detailed information on the user's lifestyle and health condition to be obtained. Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect the user's attribute information using online data. For example, the user's interests and concerns can be understood by analyzing information shared by the user on social media and website browsing history. This allows the collection unit to build a comprehensive user profile from various data sources and collect more accurate attribute information. The collected data is stored in a secure database and encrypted for privacy protection. The collection unit can improve the accuracy and reliability of the entire system by periodically updating the data to reflect the latest attribute information of the user.

[0031] The selection unit uses the generation AI to analyze the attribute information collected by the collection unit and selects news that may interest the user. The generation AI selects news using, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). Specifically, the generation AI receives the user's attribute information as input and generates highly relevant news articles based on that information. For example, the generation AI selects the latest sports news for a user who likes sports, and the latest technology news for a user who is interested in technology. The generation AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the news article and extract parts that match the user's interests. The generation AI can also analyze news topics and keywords and select news that best suits the user's interests. Furthermore, the selection unit can use the generation AI to select news based on the user's attribute information. For example, the selection unit provides more personalized news by taking into account the user's past news browsing history and feedback. The selection unit can use the learning algorithm of the generation AI to respond to changes in the user's interests and always provide the latest information. This allows the selection unit to select the news that is most interesting to the user, maximizing the effectiveness of the alarm system.

[0032] The voice unit conveys the news selected by the selection unit to the user in a synthetic voice. The synthetic voice is generated, for example, by using a voice synthesis engine. The voice synthesis engine can receive text data as an input and generate a natural voice. Specifically, the voice unit inputs the text of the selected news article into the voice synthesis engine and plays the generated voice to the user. For example, a part of the news is conveyed in a synthetic voice, such as "Good morning. Today's news. We will tell you the latest technology news." The voice unit can also adjust the tone and speed of the voice based on the attribute information of the user. For example, the news is conveyed in a bright and lively tone to a young user, and in a slow and calm tone to an older user. In addition, the voice unit supports multiple languages ​​and can convey the news according to the language setting of the user. This allows the voice unit to provide the news in a form that is most easy for the user to hear. Furthermore, the voice unit can add music and sound effects according to the content of the news. For example, cheering music can be added to sports news and futuristic sound effects can be added to technology news to enhance the realism of the news. This allows the audio section to provide the user with engaging and informative news, promoting a natural wake-up experience.

[0033] The research unit investigates whether the user has confirmed the details of the news conveyed by the audio unit. The investigation is carried out, for example, by counting the number of clicks. Specifically, after the audio unit conveys the news, the number of times the user clicks on a link to confirm the details of the news in the app is counted. The research unit can also use user feedback to confirm the details of the news. For example, it checks whether the user clicks on a link in the app to check the details of the news. Furthermore, the research unit can collect user reactions and feedback to help improve the selection and provision method of news. For example, by analyzing how the user reacted to the news and which news attracted the most interest, it is possible to reflect this in future news selection. The research unit analyzes the user's behavioral data and builds a feedback loop to optimize the method and content of news provision. This allows the research unit to accurately grasp the user's interests and concerns and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the entire system. Furthermore, in order to protect the user's privacy, the research unit anonymizes the collected data and manages it in a secure environment. This allows the research unit to collect data necessary for improving the system while maintaining the user's trust.

[0034] The collection unit can collect attribute information of the user's age, sex, occupation, and hobby. The collection unit, for example, collects the user's age. Specific ranges and classification criteria of age include, for example, teens, twenties, thirties, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The collection unit also collects the user's gender. Specific classification criteria of gender include, for example, male, female, other, etc., but are not limited to such examples. Furthermore, the collection unit collects the user's occupation. Specific classification criteria of occupation include, for example, student, company employee, self-employed, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The collection unit collects the user's hobbies. Specific classification criteria of hobbies include, for example, sports, reading, traveling, etc., but are not limited to such examples. As a result, the collection unit can select news with higher accuracy by collecting detailed attribute information of the user. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input questionnaire data into AI, and the AI ​​can analyze the data to collect attribute information.

[0035] The selection unit can analyze the collected attribute information by the generation AI and select news that interests the user. The selection unit can analyze the collected attribute information using, for example, the generation AI. The generation AI can analyze the attribute information using, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM). The selection unit can also use the generation AI to select news that interests the user. For example, the generation AI can select the latest sports news for a user who likes sports. For a user who is interested in technology, the generation AI can select the latest technology news. The generation AI has learned a large amount of text data and has advanced natural language processing capabilities. The generation AI can use keyword extraction technology to pick up particularly important information from the user's attribute information and select news based on that. As a result, the selection unit can use the generation AI to improve the accuracy of selecting news that matches the user's interests. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the selection unit can be performed using, for example, an AI, or can be performed without using an AI. For example, the selection unit can input the collected attribute information into an AI, and the AI ​​can analyze the data to select news.

[0036] The voice unit can convey the selected news to the user in synthetic voice. For example, the voice unit conveys the selected news to the user in synthetic voice. The synthetic voice is generated, for example, by using a voice synthesis engine. The voice synthesis engine is a technology that converts text data into voice data and has advanced voice synthesis capabilities. The voice unit can also convey news using synthetic voice. For example, the voice unit conveys part of the news in synthetic voice, such as "Good morning. Today's news. We will tell you the latest technology news." In this way, the voice unit can effectively convey news to the user by using synthetic voice. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the voice unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the voice unit can input the selected news to AI, which generates voice data and conveys it to the user.

[0037] The research unit can confirm whether the user has checked the details of the news. For example, the research unit checks whether the user has checked the details of the news. A specific method of checking includes, for example, counting the number of clicks, but is not limited to such an example. The research unit can also check the details of the news using user feedback. For example, the research unit checks whether a link was clicked in the app to check the details of the news. This allows the research unit to grasp the user's interest in the news. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the research unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the research unit can input data on the number of clicks into AI, and the AI ​​can analyze the data to check the details of the news.

[0038] The research unit can confirm whether or not a link was clicked in the app to check the details of the news. The research unit, for example, confirms whether or not a link was clicked in the app to check the details of the news. Specific actions of clicking a link include, for example, the number of clicks and the click position, but are not limited to such examples. This allows the research unit to grasp the specific actions of the user regarding the news. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the research unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the research unit can input click data into AI, which analyzes the data to check the details of the news.

[0039] The collection unit can analyze the user's past attribute information and select the optimal collection method. The collection unit, for example, analyzes the user's past attribute information and selects the optimal collection method. The past attribute information includes, for example, past questionnaire results and past behavior history, but is not limited to such examples. The collection unit, for example, collects attribute information in the form of a simple question based on information provided by the user in the past. The collection unit can also analyze the user's past answer patterns and select the most efficient collection method. Furthermore, the collection unit can prioritize collection methods (questionnaires, voice input, etc.) that the user has used in the past. This enables the collection unit to select the optimal collection method based on the past attribute information, thereby enabling efficient information collection. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the past attribute information into AI, and the AI ​​can analyze the data and select the optimal collection method.

[0040] The collection unit can perform filtering based on the user's current living situation and field of interest when collecting attribute information.

For example, the research department checks whether the user clicked on a link in the app to check the details of the news.

[0063] (Example 2) The alarm system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that stimulates intellectual curiosity by collecting attribute information of a user, selecting news that is likely to interest the user through a generation AI, and conveying a part of the news through a synthetic voice. This alarm system stimulates intellectual curiosity by collecting attribute information of a user, selecting news that is likely to interest the user through a generation AI, and conveying a part of the news through a synthetic voice. When a user is interested in the news, their mind becomes clear as they investigate the details, and they wake up. By using this alarm, the user is freed from the loud alarm sound every morning, and they can wake up actively of their own volition. For example, the attribute information of the user is collected. For example, information such as age, gender, occupation, and hobbies is collected. This information is input to the generation AI. Next, the generation AI analyzes the collected attribute information and selects news that may interest the user. For example, the latest sports news is selected for a user who likes sports, and the latest technology news is selected for a user who is interested in technology. The selected news is conveyed to the user through a synthetic voice. For example, a part of the news is delivered by synthetic voice, such as "Good morning. Today's news. We will tell you the latest technology news." In addition, it is investigated whether the user has looked into the details of the news delivered. For example, it is checked whether the user clicked on a link in the app to look up the details of the news. This information is fed back to the generation AI and used for the next news selection. With this mechanism, users are freed from the shrill alarm sound every morning and can actively wake up of their own volition. For example, as they look up the details of a news item that interests them, they naturally wake up. In addition, the generation AI selects news that interests the user, making waking up every morning fun. This allows the alarm system to provide interesting news based on the user's attribute information, promoting natural waking.

[0064] The alarm system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, a selection unit, a voice unit, and a survey unit. The collection unit collects attribute information of a user.

The questionnaire is provided in the form of an online form or a question in an app, and is designed so that the user can easily answer it. The collection unit can also collect the user's attribute information using a sensor. For example, data such as the user's activity level and sleep pattern can be collected through a wearable device such as a smart watch or a fitness tracker. This allows detailed information on the user's lifestyle and health condition to be obtained. Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect the user's attribute information using online data. For example, the user's interests and concerns can be understood by analyzing information shared by the user on social media and website browsing history. This allows the collection unit to build a comprehensive user profile from various data sources and collect more accurate attribute information. The collected data is stored in a secure database and encrypted for privacy protection. The collection unit can improve the accuracy and reliability of the entire system by periodically updating the data to reflect the latest attribute information of the user.

[0066] The selection unit uses the generation AI to analyze the attribute information collected by the collection unit and selects news that may interest the user. The generation AI selects news using, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). Specifically, the generation AI receives the user's attribute information as input and generates highly relevant news articles based on that information. For example, the generation AI selects the latest sports news for a user who likes sports, and the latest technology news for a user who is interested in technology. The generation AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the news article and extract parts that match the user's interests. The generation AI can also analyze news topics and keywords and select news that best suits the user's interests. Furthermore, the selection unit can use the generation AI to select news based on the user's attribute information. For example, the selection unit provides more personalized news by taking into account the user's past news browsing history and feedback. The selection unit can use the learning algorithm of the generation AI to respond to changes in the user's interests and always provide the latest information. This allows the selection unit to select the news that is most interesting to the user, maximizing the effectiveness of the alarm system.

[0067] The voice unit conveys the news selected by the selection unit to the user in a synthetic voice. The synthetic voice is generated, for example, by using a voice synthesis engine.

For example, a part of the news is conveyed in a synthetic voice, such as "Good morning. Today's news. We will tell you the latest technology news." The voice unit can also adjust the tone and speed of the voice based on the attribute information of the user. For example, the news is conveyed in a bright and lively tone to a young user, and in a slow and calm tone to an older user. In addition, the voice unit supports multiple languages ​​and can convey the news according to the language setting of the user. This allows the voice unit to provide the news in a form that is most easy for the user to hear. Furthermore, the voice unit can add music and sound effects according to the content of the news. For example, cheering music can be added to sports news and futuristic sound effects can be added to technology news to enhance the realism of the news. This allows the audio section to provide the user with engaging and informative news, promoting a natural wake-up experience.

[0068] The research unit investigates whether the user has confirmed the details of the news conveyed by the audio unit. The investigation is carried out, for example, by counting the number of clicks. Specifically, after the audio unit conveys the news, the number of times the user clicks on a link to confirm the details of the news in the app is counted. The research unit can also use user feedback to confirm the details of the news. For example, it checks whether the user clicks on a link in the app to check the details of the news. Furthermore, the research unit can collect user reactions and feedback to help improve the selection and provision method of news. For example, by analyzing how the user reacted to the news and which news attracted the most interest, it is possible to reflect this in future news selection. The research unit analyzes the user's behavioral data and builds a feedback loop to optimize the method and content of news provision. This allows the research unit to accurately grasp the user's interests and concerns and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the entire system.

[0162] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0163] For example, the collection unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit can collect attribute information of the user using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The selection unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, for example, and analyzes the collected attribute information using a generation AI to select news that may interest the user. The voice unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, for example, and conveys the news to the user using a synthetic voice engine. The investigation unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, for example, and investigates whether the user has confirmed the details of the news. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0164] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.

[0165] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0166] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[0167] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0168] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.

[0169] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0170] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.

[0171] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.

[0172] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0173] In addition, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 upon request from the data processing device 12.

[0174] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

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

[0176] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0177] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0178] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0179] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments are described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, the smart glasses 214, the headset terminal 314, and the robot 414 are only examples, and they may be combined with each other, or may be other devices. In the above example, the first and second embodiments are described separately, but they may be combined.
