The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[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 translation unit is realized by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the translation unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and translates information such as tourist spot information, restaurant information, and traffic information into the user's language. The information providing unit is realized by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides the translated information to the user. The audio guide unit is realized by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides information on tourist spots by voice. The AR guidance unit is realized by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and displays a guide to tourist spots on the screen of the user's smartphone. 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.
