[0022] 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.

Next, the identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 will be described.

[0026] (Example 1) One embodiment of the present invention is characterized by using electromagnetic levitation as a means to realize a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, an electromagnetic coil is arranged in the levitation device, which levitates the target object. In addition, a control system is designed to control the current of the electromagnetic coil and stabilize the levitation device. For example, the control system detects the position and attitude of the levitation device using a sensor, and adjusts the current of the electromagnetic coil based on the detected position and attitude to maintain the stability of the levitation device. (Example 2) Another embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that electrical levitation is used as a means to develop a levitation technique to realize a physical levitation technique. Specifically, electrodes are arranged on the levitation device, which levitates the target object. A control system is designed to control the voltage of the electrodes and stabilize the levitation device. For example, the control system detects the surrounding environment and the weight of the target object, and adjusts the voltage of the electrodes based on the detected voltage to maintain the stability of the levitation device. (Example 3) A further embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that magnetic levitation is used as a means for developing a levitation method to realize a physical levitation method. Specifically, magnets are arranged in the levitation device, which levitates the target object. A control system is designed to control the magnetic force of the magnets and stabilize the levitation device. For example, the control system uses a magnetic force sensor to detect the position and magnetic force of the magnets, and adjusts the magnetic force based on the detected position and magnetic force to maintain the stability of the levitation device. The above are specific examples of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0027] The process flow of each embodiment will be described below.

[0028] (Example 1) Step 1: An electromagnetic coil is placed in the levitation device and is supplied with electrical current by a control system. Step 2: The control system uses sensors to detect the position and orientation of the floating device. Step 3: Based on the detected information, the control system adjusts the current in the electromagnetic coils to maintain the stability of the levitation device. (Example 2) Step 1: Electrodes are placed on the levitation device and a voltage is supplied by the control system. Step 2: The control system detects the surrounding environment and the weight of the target object. Step 3: Based on the detected information, the control system adjusts the voltage of the electrodes to maintain the stability of the levitation device. (Example 3) Step 1: Magnets are placed in the levitation device and the magnetic force is controlled by a control system. Step 2: The control system detects the magnet's position and magnetic strength using a magnetic sensor. Step 3: Based on the detected information, the control system adjusts the magnetic force to maintain the stability of the levitation device. The above is the process flow in each embodiment.

[0029] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the emotion of the user may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the emotion of the user.

[0030] (Example 1) One embodiment of the present invention is characterized by using electromagnetic levitation as a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, an electromagnetic coil is arranged in the levitation device, which causes the target object to levitate. In addition, a control system is designed to control the current of the electromagnetic coil and stabilize the levitation device. Furthermore, by combining an emotion engine, the user's emotions are recognized and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted. For example, if the user is happy, the levitation height is increased to improve stability. On the other hand, if the user is anxious or nervous, the levitation height is decreased to suppress vibration. (Example 2) Another embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that electrical levitation is used as a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, electrodes are arranged on the levitation device, which causes the target object to levitate. In addition, a control system is designed to control the voltage of the electrodes and stabilize the levitation device. Furthermore, by combining an emotion engine, the user's emotions are recognized and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted. For example, when the user is relaxed, the levitation height is increased to provide a relaxed floating sensation. On the other hand, when the user is excited, the levitation height is decreased to provide a more dynamic floating experience. (Example 3) A further embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that magnetic levitation is used as a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, magnets are arranged in the levitation device, which causes the target object to levitate. In addition, the magnetic force of the magnets is controlled by designing a control system to stabilize the levitation device. Furthermore, by combining an emotion engine, the user's emotions are recognized and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted. For example, if the user is surprised, the levitation height is changed suddenly to perform an effective performance. On the other hand, if the user is relaxed, the levitation height is changed slowly to provide a gentle levitation experience. The above are specific examples of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0031] The process flow of each embodiment will be described below.

[0032] (Example 1) Step 1: An electromagnetic coil is placed in the levitation device and is supplied with electrical current by a control system. Step 2: The control system uses sensors to detect the position and orientation of the floating device. Step 3: The emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as facial and voice recognition. Step 4: The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, and the operation and behavior of the levitation device is adjusted to match the user's emotions. For example, if the user is happy, the levitation height is increased to improve stability. On the other hand, if the user is anxious or nervous, the levitation height is decreased to suppress vibration. (Example 2) Step 1: Electrodes are placed on the levitation device and a voltage is supplied by the control system. Step 2: The control system detects the surrounding environment and the weight of the target object. Step 3: The emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as facial and voice recognition. Step 4: The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted according to the user's emotion. For example, if the user is relaxed, the levitation height is increased to provide a relaxed floating sensation. On the other hand, if the user is excited, the levitation height is decreased to provide a more dynamic floating experience. (Example 3) Step 1: Magnets are placed in the levitation device and the magnetic force is controlled by a control system. Step 2: The control system detects the magnet's position and magnetic strength using a magnetic sensor. Step 3: The emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as facial and voice recognition. Step 4: The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, and the operation and behavior of the levitation device is adjusted to match the user's emotion. For example, if the user is surprised, the levitation height is changed suddenly to create an effective effect. On the other hand, if the user is relaxed, the levitation height is changed slowly to provide a calm levitation experience. The above is the process flow in each embodiment.

[0033] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0034] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by making a neural network perform deep learning. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0064] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46.

[0072] (Example 1) One embodiment of the present invention is characterized by using electromagnetic levitation as a means to realize a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, an electromagnetic coil is arranged in the levitation device, which levitates the target object. In addition, a control system is designed to control the current of the electromagnetic coil and stabilize the levitation device. For example, the control system detects the position and attitude of the levitation device using a sensor, and adjusts the current of the electromagnetic coil based on the detected position and attitude to maintain the stability of the levitation device. (Example 2) Another embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that electrical levitation is used as a means to develop a levitation technique to realize a physical levitation technique. Specifically, electrodes are arranged on the levitation device, which levitates the target object. A control system is designed to control the voltage of the electrodes and stabilize the levitation device. For example, the control system detects the surrounding environment and the weight of the target object, and adjusts the voltage of the electrodes based on the detected voltage to maintain the stability of the levitation device. (Example 3) A further embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that magnetic levitation is used as a means for developing a levitation method to realize a physical levitation method. Specifically, magnets are arranged in the levitation device, which levitates the target object. A control system is designed to control the magnetic force of the magnets and stabilize the levitation device. For example, the control system uses a magnetic force sensor to detect the position and magnetic force of the magnets, and adjusts the magnetic force based on the detected position and magnetic force to maintain the stability of the levitation device. The above are specific examples of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0073] The process flow of each embodiment will be described below.

[0074] (Example 1) Step 1: An electromagnetic coil is placed in the levitation device and is supplied with electrical current by a control system. Step 2: The control system uses sensors to detect the position and orientation of the floating device. Step 3: Based on the detected information, the control system adjusts the current in the electromagnetic coils to maintain the stability of the levitation device.

[0075] In addition, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0076] (Example 1) One embodiment of the present invention is characterized by using electromagnetic levitation as a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, an electromagnetic coil is arranged in the levitation device, which causes the target object to levitate. In addition, a control system is designed to control the current of the electromagnetic coil and stabilize the levitation device. Furthermore, by combining an emotion engine, the user's emotions are recognized and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted. For example, if the user is happy, the levitation height is increased to improve stability. On the other hand, if the user is anxious or nervous, the levitation height is decreased to suppress vibration. (Example 2) Another embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that electrical levitation is used as a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, electrodes are arranged on the levitation device, which causes the target object to levitate. In addition, a control system is designed to control the voltage of the electrodes and stabilize the levitation device. Furthermore, by combining an emotion engine, the user's emotions are recognized and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted. For example, when the user is relaxed, the levitation height is increased to provide a relaxed floating sensation. On the other hand, when the user is excited, the levitation height is decreased to provide a more dynamic floating experience. (Example 3) A further embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that magnetic levitation is used as a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method. Specifically, magnets are arranged in the levitation device, which causes the target object to levitate. In addition, the magnetic force of the magnets is controlled by designing a control system to stabilize the levitation device. Furthermore, by combining an emotion engine, the user's emotions are recognized and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted. For example, if the user is surprised, the levitation height is changed suddenly to perform an effective performance. On the other hand, if the user is relaxed, the levitation height is changed slowly to provide a gentle levitation experience. The above are specific examples of the embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

[0077] The process flow of each embodiment will be described below.

[0078] (Example 1) Step 1: An electromagnetic coil is placed in the levitation device and is supplied with electrical current by a control system. Step 2: The control system uses sensors to detect the position and orientation of the floating device. Step 3: The emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as facial and voice recognition. Step 4: The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, and the operation and behavior of the levitation device is adjusted to match the user's emotions. For example, if the user is happy, the levitation height is increased to improve stability. On the other hand, if the user is anxious or nervous, the levitation height is decreased to suppress vibration. (Example 2) Step 1: Electrodes are placed on the levitation device and a voltage is supplied by the control system. Step 2: The control system detects the surrounding environment and the weight of the target object. Step 3: The emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as facial and voice recognition. Step 4: The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, and the operation and behavior of the levitation device are adjusted according to the user's emotion. For example, if the user is relaxed, the levitation height is increased to provide a relaxed floating sensation. On the other hand, if the user is excited, the levitation height is decreased to provide a more dynamic floating experience. (Example 3) Step 1: Magnets are placed in the levitation device and the magnetic force is controlled by a control system. Step 2: The control system detects the magnet's position and magnetic strength using a magnetic sensor. Step 3: The emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as facial and voice recognition. Step 4: The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, and the operation and behavior of the levitation device is adjusted to match the user's emotion. For example, if the user is surprised, the levitation height is changed suddenly to create an effective effect. On the other hand, if the user is relaxed, the levitation height is changed slowly to provide a calm levitation experience. The above is the process flow in each embodiment.

Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing while using the data generation model 58.

[0104] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific process was performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific process may be performed by the robot 414.

[0105] 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.

[0106] 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.

[0107] 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.

[0108] 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).

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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."

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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 the 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0122] The following is further disclosed regarding the above embodiment.

[0123] (Appendix 1) A system including a means for realizing a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method, and a means for stabilizing the levitation device by designing a control system. (Appendix 2) In the system described in Appendix 1, the levitation method uses either electromagnetic levitation, electric levitation, or magnetic levitation. (Appendix 3) In the system described in Appendix 1, the control system utilizes artificial intelligence for optimization and stabilization.

[0124] (Appendix 1) This system combines a means to realize a physical levitation method by developing a levitation method, a means to stabilize the levitation device by designing a control system, and an emotion engine. The emotion engine recognizes the user's emotions and adjusts the operation and behavior of the levitation device based on those emotions. (Appendix 2) In the system described in Appendix 1, the emotion engine detects the user's emotions using techniques such as face recognition and voice recognition. The detected emotion information is sent to the control system, which adjusts the operation and behavior of the levitation device according to the user's emotions. (Appendix 3) In the system described in Supplementary Note 1 or 2, the emotion engine adjusts the levitation height, stability, vibration strength, etc. of the levitation device according to the user's emotion. For example, if the user is happy, the levitation height is increased and stability is improved. On the other hand, if the user is anxious or nervous, the levitation height is decreased and vibration is suppressed. [Explanation of symbols]
