In addition, in this specification, the same idea as "A and / or B" is also applied when three or more things are expressed by connecting them with "and / or."

[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (e.g., a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.

[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The information gathering support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that learns the user's preferences, and provides a function of hiding or reducing articles that the user is not interested in, and a function of summarizing multiple related articles. When a user browses news articles, the AI ​​learns the user's preferences based on the user's browsing history and click history. For example, for a user who frequently browses sports articles, sports-related articles are preferentially displayed, and political articles that the user is not interested in are hidden or reduced. Next, the AI ​​automatically detects multiple related articles and summarizes them together. For example, if there are multiple news articles about the same incident, the AI ​​analyzes those articles, extracts important information, and generates one summary article. This saves the user the trouble of reading multiple articles and allows the user to obtain information efficiently. Furthermore, the AI ​​continues to learn based on the user's feedback and improves the accuracy of the articles displayed. For example, the AI ​​learns the genre of articles that the user has given feedback that they are "not interested in," and does not display articles of that genre from the next time. In this way, the AI ​​learns the user's preferences and provides a service that supports more efficient information gathering for the user by hiding or reducing the size of articles that the user is not interested in, and summarizing multiple related articles together. This allows the information gathering support system to efficiently display and summarize news articles based on the user's preferences.

[0029] The information collection support system according to the embodiment includes a learning unit, a display control unit, and a summarizing unit. The learning unit learns the user's preferences. The user's preferences include, for example, browsing history, click history, feedback, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The learning unit, for example, learns the news genres that the user frequently browses, and grasps the user's preferences. The learning unit can also identify the news genre of interest based on the user's click history. For example, the learning unit analyzes the genre of the news article that the user clicked on, and learns the preferences. Furthermore, the learning unit can also learn the preferences based on the user's feedback. For example, the learning unit learns the news genre that the user has given feedback on as "interesting," and from the next time, preferentially displays articles of that genre. The display control unit hides or reduces articles that seem to be of no interest based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Articles that seem to be of no interest include, for example, articles with a short viewing time, articles with a low click rate, articles that have been given feedback as "not interesting," and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The display control unit can, for example, completely hide articles that seem to be of no interest. The display control unit can also reduce the display size of articles that are likely to be of no interest. For example, the display control unit reduces the display size of articles to make them less noticeable. The summarization unit summarizes multiple related articles together based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. The summary includes, for example, the length of the sentences and the importance of the information to be summarized, but is not limited to such examples. The summarization unit, for example, automatically detects multiple news articles related to the same incident, extracts important information, and generates one summary article. The summarization unit can also summarize related news articles together. For example, the summarization unit summarizes multiple news articles based on related keywords and topics. This allows the information collection support system according to the embodiment to efficiently display and summarize news articles based on the user's preferences.

[0030] The learning unit learns the user's preferences. The user's preferences include, but are not limited to, browsing history, click history, and feedback. For example, the learning unit learns the news genres that the user frequently browses and grasps the user's preferences. Specifically, the learning unit analyzes the genres and contents of news articles that the user has browsed in the past, and identifies which genres the user is interested in. For example, the news articles are classified into categories such as politics, economics, sports, and entertainment, and the frequency of browsing of each category is calculated. The learning unit can also identify the news genre of interest based on the user's click history. For example, the learning unit analyzes the genres of news articles clicked by the user and learns the preferences. Metadata such as the title, subtitle, tag, and publication date and time of the clicked article can be used to analyze the click history. Furthermore, the learning unit can learn the preferences based on the user's feedback. For example, the learning unit learns the news genres that the user has feedbacked as "interesting" and preferentially displays articles of that genre from the next time. The feedback includes evaluations such as "like" and "not interested" made by the user on the article. This allows the learning unit to understand user preferences from multiple angles and collect basic data for providing optimal news articles to individual users. Furthermore, the learning unit can use a machine learning algorithm to track changes in user preferences in real time and dynamically update the learning model. For example, if a user begins to become interested in a new genre, the change can be quickly detected and the content of the articles displayed can be adjusted. This allows the learning unit to flexibly respond to user preferences and always provide the latest information.

[0031] The display control unit hides or reduces articles that are likely to be of no interest based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Articles that are likely to be of no interest include, but are not limited to, articles with short viewing times, articles with low click rates, and articles that are "not interesting" in feedback. The display control unit can, for example, completely hide articles that are likely to be of no interest. Specifically, the display control unit calculates the display priority of each article based on data provided by the learning unit, and hides articles with low priority. The display control unit can also reduce articles that are likely to be of no interest. For example, the display control unit reduces the display size of the article to make it less noticeable. For example, the reduced display can be performed by displaying a thumbnail image of the article in a small size, or by displaying only the title of the article. This makes it easier for the user to concentrate on articles that interest them, making it easier to select and discard information. Furthermore, the display control unit can dynamically update the display content by reflecting the user's browsing history and feedback in real time. For example, if a user gives feedback that they are "not interested" in a particular article, the display control unit immediately hides that article and similar articles. The display control unit can also optimize the display method according to the user's device and screen size. For example, on small devices such as smartphones and tablets, the number of articles displayed is reduced, and only important articles are displayed. This allows the display control unit to realize flexible display control according to the user's preferences and device, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0032] The summarizing unit summarizes a plurality of related articles based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Examples of summarization include, but are not limited to, the length of a sentence and the importance of the information to be summarized. For example, the summarizing unit automatically detects a plurality of news articles related to the same incident, extracts important information, and generates one summary article. Specifically, the summarizing unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of each article and extracts common keywords and phrases. This allows the summarizing unit to integrate important information from a plurality of articles and generate a concise and easy-to-understand summary. The summarizing unit can also summarize related news articles together. For example, the summarizing unit summarizes a plurality of news articles based on related keywords and topics. This allows the user to efficiently grasp a lot of information at once. Furthermore, the summarizing unit can adjust the style and level of detail of the summary according to the user's preferences. For example, if the user prefers detailed information, the summarizing unit generates a detailed summary, and conversely, if the user prefers concise information, the summarizing unit generates a short summary. This allows the summarizing unit to provide a flexible summary according to the user's needs. Furthermore, the summarizing unit can evaluate the quality of the generated summary before providing it to the user, and make corrections as necessary. For example, the summary unit checks the consistency of the summary and the accuracy of the information, and if there is a problem, generates the summary again. This allows the summarization unit to provide a high-quality summary and make information gathering for the user more efficient.

[0033] The information collection support system includes a feedback unit that receives user feedback. The feedback unit receives the user feedback. The feedback includes, for example, a questionnaire, a rating button, a comment, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. The feedback unit provides, for example, a button for the user to rate a news article as "interested" or "not interested". The feedback unit can also provide a function for the user to leave a comment on the news article. For example, the feedback unit provides an interface for the user to input a comment on the news article and share the opinion with other users. Furthermore, the feedback unit can collect data for improving the accuracy of the system based on the user feedback. For example, the feedback unit learns the news genre that the user has rated as "not interesting" and does not display articles of that genre from the next time. In this way, the feedback unit can improve the accuracy of the system based on the user feedback. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the feedback unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the feedback unit can input the user's feedback data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute an analysis of the feedback.

[0034] The information collection support system includes a data protection unit that protects the user's data. The data protection unit protects the user's data. Data protection includes, for example, encryption, access restriction, data deletion, and the like, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the data protection unit encrypts and stores the user's data. The data protection unit can also restrict access to the user's data. For example, the data protection unit allows only specific users to access the data. The data protection unit can also automatically delete the user's data after a certain period of time. For example, the data protection unit stores the user's data for a certain period of time and then automatically deletes it. This allows the data protection unit to safely protect the user's data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the data protection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the data protection unit can input the user's data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to encrypt the data and set access restrictions.

[0035] The learning unit can learn preferences based on the user's browsing history or click history. The learning unit learns preferences based on the user's browsing history, for example.

The learning unit can also identify the news genre of interest based on the user's click history. The click history includes, for example, the URL of the clicked link, the number of clicks, etc., but is not limited to such examples. For example, the learning unit analyzes the genre of the news article that the user clicked on, and learns the preferences. As a result, the learning unit can learn preferences based on the user's browsing history and click history, thereby enabling more accurate news display. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the learning unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the learning unit can input the user's browsing history and click history to the generation AI, and cause the generation AI to execute learning of preferences.

[0036] The display control unit can hide or reduce the display of articles that are determined to be of no interest based on the learned preferences. The display control unit, for example, hides articles that are determined to be of no interest based on the learned preferences. Articles that are determined to be of no interest include, for example, articles with a short viewing time, articles with a low click rate, articles that are determined to be "not interesting" in feedback, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The display control unit can, for example, completely hide articles that are determined to be of no interest. The display control unit can also reduce the display size of articles that are determined to be of no interest. For example, the display control unit reduces the display size of the articles to make them less noticeable. In this way, the display control unit hides or reduces the display of articles that are determined to be of no interest, so that the user does not miss important news. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the display control unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the display control unit can input articles that are determined to be of no interest based on the learned preferences to the generation AI, and cause the generation AI to execute the processing of hiding or reducing the display.

[0037] The summarizing unit can automatically detect multiple related articles, extract important information, and generate one summary article. The summarizing unit can, for example, automatically detect multiple related articles, extract important information, and generate one summary article. The related articles include, for example, keyword matches, topic similarities, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The summarizing unit can, for example, automatically detect multiple news articles related to the same incident, extract important information, and generate one summary article. The summarizing unit can also summarize related news articles together. For example, the summarizing unit summarizes multiple news articles based on related keywords or topics. This allows the summarizing unit to summarize multiple related articles together, allowing the user to efficiently collect information. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarizing unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the summarizing unit can input multiple related articles to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to extract important information and generate a summary article.

[0038] The learning unit can analyze the user's past news viewing patterns during learning and predict changes in preferences. The learning unit, for example, analyzes the user's past news viewing patterns during learning and predicts changes in preferences. News viewing patterns include, for example, viewing time, click history, viewing frequency, etc., but are not limited to such examples. The learning unit, for example, analyzes the genres of news viewed by the user in the past month and predicts changes in preferences. The learning unit can also predict the news genres that the user prefers in a specific season. Furthermore, the learning unit can predict the tendency of the user to be interested in specific events or occurrences. In this way, the learning unit can always provide news based on the latest preferences by predicting changes in the user's preferences.

[0056] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0057] Step 1: The learning unit learns the user's preferences. The user's preferences include, for example, browsing history, click history, and feedback. The learning unit identifies the news genre of interest to the user based on the news genres the user frequently browses and the click history. The learning unit also learns the user's preferences based on the user's feedback, and from the next time, displays articles of that genre with priority. Step 2: The display control unit hides or reduces the display of articles that are likely to be of no interest based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Articles that are likely to be of no interest include, for example, articles with short viewing times, articles with low click rates, articles that have been given feedback as "not interesting," etc. The display control unit completely hides articles that are likely to be of no interest, or reduces the display size of the articles to make them less noticeable. Step 3: The summarization unit compiles and summarizes multiple related articles based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. The summary includes the length of the text and the importance of the information being summarized. The summarization unit automatically detects multiple news articles related to the same incident, extracts important information, and generates a summary article. It also summarizes multiple news articles based on related keywords and topics.

[0058] (Example 2) The information gathering support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that learns the user's preferences, and provides a function of hiding or reducing articles that the user is not interested in, and a function of summarizing multiple related articles. When a user browses news articles, the AI ​​learns the user's preferences based on the user's browsing history and click history. For example, for a user who frequently browses sports articles, sports-related articles are preferentially displayed, and political articles that the user is not interested in are hidden or reduced. Next, the AI ​​automatically detects multiple related articles and summarizes them together. For example, if there are multiple news articles about the same incident, the AI ​​analyzes those articles, extracts important information, and generates one summary article. This saves the user the trouble of reading multiple articles and allows the user to obtain information efficiently. Furthermore, the AI ​​continues to learn based on the user's feedback and improves the accuracy of the articles displayed. For example, the AI ​​learns the genre of articles that the user has given feedback that they are "not interested in," and does not display articles of that genre from the next time. In this way, the AI ​​learns the user's preferences and provides a service that supports more efficient information gathering for the user by hiding or reducing the size of articles that the user is not interested in, and summarizing multiple related articles together. This allows the information gathering support system to efficiently display and summarize news articles based on the user's preferences.

[0059] The information collection support system according to the embodiment includes a learning unit, a display control unit, and a summarizing unit. The learning unit learns the user's preferences. The user's preferences include, for example, browsing history, click history, feedback, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The learning unit, for example, learns the news genres that the user frequently browses, and grasps the user's preferences. The learning unit can also identify the news genre of interest based on the user's click history. For example, the learning unit analyzes the genre of the news article that the user clicked on, and learns the preferences. Furthermore, the learning unit can also learn the preferences based on the user's feedback. For example, the learning unit learns the news genre that the user has given feedback on as "interesting," and from the next time, preferentially displays articles of that genre. The display control unit hides or reduces articles that seem to be of no interest based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Articles that seem to be of no interest include, for example, articles with a short viewing time, articles with a low click rate, articles that have been given feedback as "not interesting," and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The display control unit can, for example, completely hide articles that seem to be of no interest. The display control unit can also reduce the display size of articles that are likely to be of no interest. For example, the display control unit reduces the display size of articles to make them less noticeable. The summarization unit summarizes multiple related articles together based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. The summary includes, for example, the length of the sentences and the importance of the information to be summarized, but is not limited to such examples. The summarization unit, for example, automatically detects multiple news articles related to the same incident, extracts important information, and generates one summary article. The summarization unit can also summarize related news articles together. For example, the summarization unit summarizes multiple news articles based on related keywords and topics. This allows the information collection support system according to the embodiment to efficiently display and summarize news articles based on the user's preferences.

[0060] The learning unit learns the user's preferences. The user's preferences include, but are not limited to, browsing history, click history, and feedback. For example, the learning unit learns the news genres that the user frequently browses and grasps the user's preferences. Specifically, the learning unit analyzes the genres and contents of news articles that the user has browsed in the past, and identifies which genres the user is interested in. For example, the news articles are classified into categories such as politics, economics, sports, and entertainment, and the frequency of browsing of each category is calculated. The learning unit can also identify the news genre of interest based on the user's click history. For example, the learning unit analyzes the genres of news articles clicked by the user and learns the preferences. Metadata such as the title, subtitle, tag, and publication date and time of the clicked article can be used to analyze the click history. Furthermore, the learning unit can learn the preferences based on the user's feedback. For example, the learning unit learns the news genres that the user has feedbacked as "interesting" and preferentially displays articles of that genre from the next time. The feedback includes evaluations such as "like" and "not interested" made by the user on the article. This allows the learning unit to understand user preferences from multiple angles and collect basic data for providing optimal news articles to individual users. Furthermore, the learning unit can use a machine learning algorithm to track changes in user preferences in real time and dynamically update the learning model. For example, if a user begins to become interested in a new genre, the change can be quickly detected and the content of the articles displayed can be adjusted. This allows the learning unit to flexibly respond to user preferences and always provide the latest information.

[0061] The display control unit hides or reduces articles that are likely to be of no interest based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Articles that are likely to be of no interest include, but are not limited to, articles with short viewing times, articles with low click rates, and articles that are "not interesting" in feedback. The display control unit can, for example, completely hide articles that are likely to be of no interest. Specifically, the display control unit calculates the display priority of each article based on data provided by the learning unit, and hides articles with low priority. The display control unit can also reduce articles that are likely to be of no interest. For example, the display control unit reduces the display size of the article to make it less noticeable. For example, the reduced display can be performed by displaying a thumbnail image of the article in a small size, or by displaying only the title of the article. This makes it easier for the user to concentrate on articles that interest them, making it easier to select and discard information. Furthermore, the display control unit can dynamically update the display content by reflecting the user's browsing history and feedback in real time. For example, if a user gives feedback that they are "not interested" in a particular article, the display control unit immediately hides that article and similar articles. The display control unit can also optimize the display method according to the user's device and screen size. For example, on small devices such as smartphones and tablets, the number of articles displayed is reduced, and only important articles are displayed. This allows the display control unit to realize flexible display control according to the user's preferences and device, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0062] The summarizing unit summarizes a plurality of related articles based on the preferences learned by the learning unit. Examples of summarization include, but are not limited to, the length of a sentence and the importance of the information to be summarized. For example, the summarizing unit automatically detects a plurality of news articles related to the same incident, extracts important information, and generates one summary article. Specifically, the summarizing unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the contents of each article and extracts common keywords and phrases. This allows the summarizing unit to integrate important information from a plurality of articles and generate a concise and easy-to-understand summary. The summarizing unit can also summarize related news articles together. For example, the summarizing unit summarizes a plurality of news articles based on related keywords and topics. This allows the user to efficiently grasp a lot of information at once. Furthermore, the summarizing unit can adjust the style and level of detail of the summary according to the user's preferences. For example, if the user prefers detailed information, the summarizing unit generates a detailed summary, and conversely, if the user prefers concise information, the summarizing unit generates a short summary. This allows the summarizing unit to provide a flexible summary according to the user's needs. Furthermore, the summarizing unit can evaluate the quality of the generated summary before providing it to the user, and make corrections as necessary. For example, the summary unit checks the consistency of the summary and the accuracy of the information, and if there is a problem, generates the summary again. This allows the summarization unit to provide a high-quality summary and make information gathering for the user more efficient.

[0158] 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.

[0159] Each of the multiple elements including the learning unit, display control unit, summarizing unit, feedback unit, and data protection unit described above is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the learning unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and learns preferences based on the user's browsing history and click history. The display control unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and hides or reduces articles that the user is not interested in. The summarizing unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and summarizes multiple related articles together.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out on emotion map 400 you go, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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."

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] The above description and illustrations are detailed descriptions of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, function, action, and effect is an example of the configuration, function, action, and effect of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replaced with respect to the description and illustrations shown above, within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. In addition, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the description and illustrations shown above omit explanations of technical common sense that do not require particular explanation in enabling the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
