[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.

[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 corporate direct sales support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system for streamlining "confirmation and inquiries about existing contract contents" and "response to additions and changes to existing contracts" from customers. This system is a mechanism for accepting questions from customers, analyzing the questions, acquiring contract information, accessing the inquiry system of each contract service to acquire the acquired contract information, and providing the acquired information to the customer. For example, a question such as "Please tell me the P# of SmartVPN of ●● Co., Ltd." is accepted from a customer. This question is analyzed using AI. Next, contract information is acquired based on the analyzed question. AI analyzes the content of the question and identifies appropriate contract information. For example, it accesses the inquiry system of the contract service to acquire the corresponding contract information. The acquired contract information is acquired by accessing the inquiry system of each contract service. For example, the corresponding inquiry system is accessed to acquire the contract information of SmartVPN. Finally, the acquired information is provided to the customer. AI analyzes the acquired information and converts it into an appropriate format for providing to the customer. For example, the contract information is provided in text format. This mechanism improves sales efficiency and enables quick and accurate customer service. For example, since a response to a customer's question can be obtained immediately, customer satisfaction is improved. Also, sales staff can efficiently handle customers in their daily work. Furthermore, by providing an authentication unit for security and authentication, the safety of acquired information is ensured. For example, only information authenticated by the authentication unit is provided to the customer, reducing the risk of information leakage. Also, by estimating the customer's emotions and adjusting the method of accepting questions and priorities based on the estimated emotions, more appropriate customer service is possible. For example, if a customer is dissatisfied, customer satisfaction can be improved by prioritizing the handling of that question. Thus, the present invention is a system for streamlining customer service in corporate direct sales and improving sales efficiency. As a result, the corporate direct sales support system can efficiently accept and analyze questions from customers, acquire contract information, and provide it.

[0029] The corporate direct sales support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, an access unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives questions from customers. Questions from customers include, for example, text format, voice format, image format, and the like, but are not limited to these examples. The reception unit, for example, analyzes questions in text format using natural language processing technology. The reception unit can also convert voice format questions into text format using voice recognition technology and analyze them. Furthermore, the reception unit can also analyze questions in image format using image recognition technology. The analysis unit analyzes the questions received by the reception unit and acquires contract information. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the content of the question using natural language processing technology and identifies appropriate contract information. The analysis unit can also analyze past question history and contract information using data mining technology and identify appropriate contract information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the content of the question using a machine learning algorithm and identify appropriate contract information. The access unit accesses the inquiry system of each contract service to acquire information from the contract information acquired by the analysis unit. The access unit, for example, accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using an API. The access unit can also directly access the database to acquire the contract information. Furthermore, the access unit can also acquire the contract information through a web interface. The provision unit provides the information acquired by the access unit to the customer. The provision unit provides the information through a web interface, for example. Furthermore, the provision unit can also provide the information by email. Furthermore, the provision unit can also provide the information through a chatbot. This allows the corporate direct sales support system according to the embodiment to efficiently accept and analyze questions from customers, acquire and provide contract information. For example, the reception unit accepts questions from customers, and the analysis unit analyzes the content of the questions and identifies appropriate contract information. The access unit accesses a contract service inquiry system to acquire contract information, and the provision unit provides the acquired information to the customer. This allows quick and accurate responses to questions from customers.Furthermore, some or all of the above-mentioned processing in each element of the reception unit, analysis unit, access unit, and provision unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit inputs a question from a customer into the AI, which analyzes the content of the question. The analysis unit identifies contract information based on the results of the analysis by the AI. The access unit accesses the inquiry system for the contract service based on the contract information identified by the AI. The provision unit provides the customer with information based on the information acquired by the AI. In this way, the use of AI makes it possible to provide more efficient and accurate customer service.

[0030] The reception unit receives questions from customers. Questions from customers include, but are not limited to, for example, text format, voice format, image format, and the like. The reception unit, for example, analyzes questions in text format using natural language processing technology. Specifically, the natural language processing technology is used to perform grammatical analysis and semantic analysis of the text to accurately grasp the intent of the question. For example, if a customer asks, "Please tell me how to change the contents of the contract," the natural language processing technology is used to extract keywords such as "contract contents" and "change method," and the intent of the question is analyzed. The reception unit can also convert questions in voice format into text format using voice recognition technology and analyze the questions. Voice recognition technology analyzes voice data, recognizes phonemes and words, and converts them into text. For example, if a customer asks by voice, "Please tell me about contract renewal," the voice data is converted into text using voice recognition technology, and the intent of the question is analyzed using natural language processing technology. The reception unit can also analyze questions in image format using image recognition technology. Image recognition technology analyzes image data and recognizes text and objects in the image. For example, if a customer sends an image of a contract and asks, "Please confirm the contents of this contract," image recognition technology is used to extract the text in the contract, and natural language processing technology is used to analyze the intent of the question. This allows the reception department to efficiently receive and analyze various types of questions from customers. Furthermore, the reception department can also use AI to determine the priority of questions and prioritize questions with high urgency. For example, AI analyzes the content of the question, immediately responds to questions with high urgency, and responds later to questions with low urgency. This allows the reception department to quickly and efficiently respond to questions from customers.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the question received by the reception unit and acquires the contract information. The analysis unit, for example, uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the question and identifies appropriate contract information. Specifically, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the intent of the question and search for related contract information from a database. For example, if a customer asks "Please tell me how to cancel the contract," natural language processing technology is used to extract keywords such as "contract" and "cancellation method" and identifies related contract information. The analysis unit can also use data mining technology to analyze past question history and contract information and identify appropriate contract information. Data mining technology is a technology for extracting useful information from a large amount of data, and by analyzing past question history and contract information, it identifies the optimal answer to the customer's question. For example, if a similar question has been asked in the past, the answer to that question is used as a reference to identify appropriate contract information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also use a machine learning algorithm to analyze the content of the question and identify appropriate contract information. Machine learning algorithms are a technology for learning past data and making predictions and classifications for new data, and analyze the content of the customer's question to identify the optimal contract information. For example, if a customer asks "Please tell me about contract renewal," the machine learning algorithm is used to analyze the content of the question and identify the relevant contract information. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the questions received by the reception unit and obtain the appropriate contract information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also use AI to analyze trends in the content of questions and predict future question trends. For example, if AI analyzes past question data and discovers a tendency for many questions to be concentrated at a certain period, it can prepare an appropriate response for that period. This allows the analysis unit to not only quickly and accurately respond to questions from customers, but also predict future question trends and respond efficiently.

[0032] The access unit accesses the inquiry system of each contract service to acquire the contract information acquired by the analysis unit. The access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using, for example, an API. An API (Application Programming Interface) is an interface for exchanging data and functions between different software systems, and the access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using the API to acquire the necessary contract information. For example, when a customer asks, "Please tell me the contract renewal status," the access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using the API to acquire the contract renewal status of the customer. The access unit can also directly access a database to acquire the contract information. A database is a system for storing contract information, and the access unit directly accesses the database to acquire the necessary contract information. For example, when a customer asks, "Please tell me the details of the contract," the access unit accesses the database to acquire the contract details of the customer. Furthermore, the access unit can also acquire the contract information through a web interface. A web interface is an interface for exchanging information through a web browser, and the access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using the web interface to acquire the necessary contract information. For example, when a customer asks, "Please tell me my contract history," the access department accesses the contract service inquiry system through a web interface and acquires the customer's contract history information. This allows the access department to quickly and accurately acquire the contract information acquired by the analysis department and provide it to the provision department. Furthermore, the access department can also use AI to optimize access efficiency. For example, AI analyzes access frequency and access time and identifies the optimal access timing, thereby improving access efficiency. This allows the access department to quickly and efficiently acquire contract information and improve the performance of the entire system.

[0033] The providing unit provides the information acquired by the access unit to the customer. The providing unit provides the information through, for example, a web interface. The web interface is an interface that allows the customer to access information through a web browser, and the providing unit uses the web interface to provide the contract information to the customer. For example, when a customer requests "I want to check the details of the contract," the providing unit displays the contract details information through the web interface. The providing unit can also provide information by email. Email is a means for quickly transmitting information to a customer, and the providing unit uses email to provide the contract information to the customer. For example, when a customer requests "Please tell me the contract renewal status," the providing unit transmits the contract renewal status by email. Furthermore, the providing unit can also provide information through a chatbot. A chatbot is a system for exchanging information with a customer in an interactive format, and the providing unit uses the chatbot to provide the contract information to the customer. For example, when a customer asks the chatbot, "Please tell me the history of the contract," the providing unit provides the contract history information through the chatbot. This allows the providing unit to provide information to the customer through a variety of means, thereby improving customer convenience. Furthermore, the providing unit can also use AI to improve the accuracy and efficiency of information provision. For example, AI can analyze a customer's past question history and behavioral patterns to identify the optimal way to provide information, thereby providing more appropriate information to the customer. This allows the information department to provide information to customers quickly and accurately, improving customer satisfaction.

[0034] The access unit further includes an authentication unit for security or authentication of the acquired information, and the providing unit can provide the information authenticated by the authentication unit to the customer. The authentication unit, for example, uses encryption technology to ensure the security of the acquired information. For example, the authentication unit encrypts the acquired information to prevent leakage of the information. The authentication unit can also perform access control to allow only authenticated users to access the information. For example, the authentication unit performs access control based on the authentication information of the user to allow only authenticated users to access the information. The authentication unit can also ensure the security of the information using an authentication protocol. For example, the authentication unit ensures the security of the information using an authentication protocol such as password authentication, two-factor authentication, or biometric authentication. This ensures the safety of the acquired information. The providing unit provides the information authenticated by the authentication unit to the customer. The providing unit, for example, provides the information authenticated by the authentication unit through a web interface. The providing unit can also provide the information authenticated by the authentication unit by email. The providing unit can also provide the information authenticated by the authentication unit through a chatbot. This allows the providing unit to provide only the information authenticated by the authentication unit to the customer. This ensures the security of the acquired information. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the authentication unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the authentication unit inputs the acquired information into AI, which performs processing to ensure the security of the information. The provision unit provides the information to the customer based on the information authenticated by AI. This makes it possible to provide information more efficiently and safely by using AI.

[0035] The reception unit can analyze the customer's past question history and select an appropriate reception method. The reception unit, for example, analyzes the customer's past question history using data mining technology. For example, the reception unit analyzes the past question content, frequency of questions, type of questions, and the like, and selects an appropriate reception method. The reception unit can also analyze the customer's past question history using statistical analysis technology. For example, the reception unit suggests an optimal reception method for a specific time period from the past question history. Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze the customer's past question history using a machine learning algorithm. For example, the reception unit preferentially provides a reception channel (telephone, email, chat, etc.) that the customer prefers to use from the past question history. This allows the reception unit to provide an optimal reception method based on the customer's past question history. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests a question format that the customer has frequently used in the past. Also, the reception unit preferentially provides a reception channel that the customer has preferred in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit suggests an optimal reception method for a specific time period from the customer's past question history. This allows the reception unit to provide an optimal reception method based on the customer's past question history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the customer's past question history into AI, which selects the optimal reception method. By using AI, it becomes possible to select a more efficient and accurate reception method.

[0036] The reception unit can filter based on the customer's current contract status and field of interest when receiving a question. The reception unit, for example, acquires the customer's current contract status from a database and filters when receiving a question. For example, the reception unit accepts only related questions based on the expiration date of the customer's contract, the type of contract, the conditions of the contract, and the like. The reception unit can also analyze the customer's field of interest from past behavior history and filter when receiving a question. For example, the reception unit preferentially accepts questions with high relevance based on topics of interest of the customer and past behavior history. Furthermore, the reception unit can filter specific questions based on the contents of the customer's contract and assign them to an appropriate person in charge. For example, the reception unit filters specific questions based on the contents of the customer's contract and assigns them to an appropriate person in charge. This allows the reception unit to preferentially accept questions related to the customer's current contract status and field of interest. For example, the reception unit accepts only related questions based on the customer's current contract status. Also, the reception unit preferentially accepts questions with high relevance based on the customer's field of interest. Furthermore, the reception unit filters specific questions based on the contents of the customer's contract and assigns them to an appropriate person in charge. This makes it possible to preferentially accept questions related to the customer's contract status and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the customer's contract status and areas of interest into AI, which then performs filtering. This makes it possible to perform filtering more efficiently and accurately by using AI.

[0037] The reception unit can preferentially receive questions with high relevance in consideration of the geographical location information of the customer when receiving a question. The reception unit, for example, acquires the geographical location information of the customer from GPS data, and preferentially receives questions with high relevance when receiving a question. For example, when the customer is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially receives questions related to the area. The reception unit can also preferentially process the most relevant question based on the customer's current location. Furthermore, the reception unit can also preferentially receive questions regarding problems specific to the area based on the geographical location information of the customer. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives questions regarding problems specific to the area based on the geographical location information of the customer. This allows the reception unit to preferentially receive questions with high relevance based on the geographical location information of the customer. For example, when the customer is in a specific area, the reception unit preferentially receives questions related to the area. The reception unit also preferentially processes the most relevant question based on the customer's current location. The reception unit also preferentially receives questions regarding problems specific to the area based on the geographical location information of the customer. This allows questions with high relevance to be preferentially accepted based on the geographical location information of the customer. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the acceptance unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acceptance unit inputs the geographical location information of the customer into AI, and the AI ​​preferentially accepts questions with high relevance. This allows questions to be accepted more efficiently and accurately by using AI.

[0038] The reception unit can analyze the social media activity of the customer when receiving a question, and receive a related question. The reception unit, for example, analyzes the social media activity of the customer using a data mining technique. For example, the reception unit analyzes the content of the customer's posts, the number of likes, the number of followers, and the like, and receives a related question. The reception unit can also preferentially receive questions related to recent interests from the social media activity of the customer. For example, the reception unit receives related questions based on issues the customer mentioned on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the social media activity of the customer and preferentially process the most relevant question. For example, the reception unit analyzes the social media activity of the customer and preferentially process the most relevant question. This allows the reception unit to receive a related question based on the social media activity of the customer. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives questions related to recent interests from the social media activity of the customer. The reception unit also receives related questions based on issues the customer mentioned on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the social media activity of the customer and preferentially process the most relevant question. This allows the reception unit to receive a related question based on the social media activity of the customer. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit inputs the customer's social media activity into AI, which then receives related questions. By using AI, this allows for more efficient and accurate question reception.

[0039] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the question during the analysis. The analysis unit, for example, evaluates the importance of the question, and performs a detailed analysis on a question with a high importance. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the importance based on the urgency of the question, the impact of the question, the frequency of the question, and the like. The analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis on a question with a low importance. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the depth of the analysis according to the importance of the question. As a result, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the question. For example, a detailed analysis is performed on a question with a high importance. Also, a concise analysis is performed on a question with a low importance. Furthermore, the depth of the analysis is adjusted according to the importance of the question. As a result, an appropriate analysis can be performed according to the importance of the question. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI.

Next, contract information is acquired based on the analyzed question. AI analyzes the content of the question and identifies appropriate contract information. For example, it accesses the inquiry system of the contract service to acquire the corresponding contract information. The acquired contract information is acquired by accessing the inquiry system of each contract service. For example, the corresponding inquiry system is accessed to acquire the contract information of SmartVPN. Finally, the acquired information is provided to the customer. AI analyzes the acquired information and converts it into an appropriate format for providing to the customer. For example, the contract information is provided in text format. This mechanism improves sales efficiency and enables quick and accurate customer service. For example, since a response to a customer's question can be obtained immediately, customer satisfaction is improved. Also, sales staff can efficiently handle customers in their daily work. Furthermore, by providing an authentication unit for security and authentication, the safety of acquired information is ensured. For example, only information authenticated by the authentication unit is provided to the customer, reducing the risk of information leakage. Also, by estimating the customer's emotions and adjusting the method of accepting questions and priorities based on the estimated emotions, more appropriate customer service is possible. For example, if a customer is dissatisfied, customer satisfaction can be improved by prioritizing the handling of that question. Thus, the present invention is a system for streamlining customer service in corporate direct sales and improving sales efficiency. As a result, the corporate direct sales support system can efficiently accept and analyze questions from customers, acquire contract information, and provide it.

[0063] The corporate direct sales support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, an access unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives questions from customers. Questions from customers include, for example, text format, voice format, image format, and the like, but are not limited to these examples. The reception unit, for example, analyzes questions in text format using natural language processing technology. The reception unit can also convert voice format questions into text format using voice recognition technology and analyze them. Furthermore, the reception unit can also analyze questions in image format using image recognition technology. The analysis unit analyzes the questions received by the reception unit and acquires contract information.

The access unit, for example, accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using an API. The access unit can also directly access the database to acquire the contract information. Furthermore, the access unit can also acquire the contract information through a web interface. The provision unit provides the information acquired by the access unit to the customer. The provision unit provides the information through a web interface, for example. Furthermore, the provision unit can also provide the information by email. Furthermore, the provision unit can also provide the information through a chatbot. This allows the corporate direct sales support system according to the embodiment to efficiently accept and analyze questions from customers, acquire and provide contract information. For example, the reception unit accepts questions from customers, and the analysis unit analyzes the content of the questions and identifies appropriate contract information. The access unit accesses a contract service inquiry system to acquire contract information, and the provision unit provides the acquired information to the customer. This allows quick and accurate responses to questions from customers.Furthermore, some or all of the above-mentioned processing in each element of the reception unit, analysis unit, access unit, and provision unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit inputs a question from a customer into the AI, which analyzes the content of the question. The analysis unit identifies contract information based on the results of the analysis by the AI. The access unit accesses the inquiry system for the contract service based on the contract information identified by the AI. The provision unit provides the customer with information based on the information acquired by the AI. In this way, the use of AI makes it possible to provide more efficient and accurate customer service.

[0064] The reception unit receives questions from customers. Questions from customers include, but are not limited to, for example, text format, voice format, image format, and the like. The reception unit, for example, analyzes questions in text format using natural language processing technology. Specifically, the natural language processing technology is used to perform grammatical analysis and semantic analysis of the text to accurately grasp the intent of the question. For example, if a customer asks, "Please tell me how to change the contents of the contract," the natural language processing technology is used to extract keywords such as "contract contents" and "change method," and the intent of the question is analyzed. The reception unit can also convert questions in voice format into text format using voice recognition technology and analyze the questions. Voice recognition technology analyzes voice data, recognizes phonemes and words, and converts them into text. For example, if a customer asks by voice, "Please tell me about contract renewal," the voice data is converted into text using voice recognition technology, and the intent of the question is analyzed using natural language processing technology. The reception unit can also analyze questions in image format using image recognition technology. Image recognition technology analyzes image data and recognizes text and objects in the image. For example, if a customer sends an image of a contract and asks, "Please confirm the contents of this contract," image recognition technology is used to extract the text in the contract, and natural language processing technology is used to analyze the intent of the question. This allows the reception department to efficiently receive and analyze various types of questions from customers. Furthermore, the reception department can also use AI to determine the priority of questions and prioritize questions with high urgency. For example, AI analyzes the content of the question, immediately responds to questions with high urgency, and responds later to questions with low urgency. This allows the reception department to quickly and efficiently respond to questions from customers.

[0065] The analysis unit analyzes the question received by the reception unit and acquires the contract information. The analysis unit, for example, uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the question and identifies appropriate contract information. Specifically, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the intent of the question and search for related contract information from a database. For example, if a customer asks "Please tell me how to cancel the contract," natural language processing technology is used to extract keywords such as "contract" and "cancellation method" and identifies related contract information. The analysis unit can also use data mining technology to analyze past question history and contract information and identify appropriate contract information. Data mining technology is a technology for extracting useful information from a large amount of data, and by analyzing past question history and contract information, it identifies the optimal answer to the customer's question. For example, if a similar question has been asked in the past, the answer to that question is used as a reference to identify appropriate contract information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also use a machine learning algorithm to analyze the content of the question and identify appropriate contract information. Machine learning algorithms are a technology for learning past data and making predictions and classifications for new data, and analyze the content of the customer's question to identify the optimal contract information. For example, if a customer asks "Please tell me about contract renewal," the machine learning algorithm is used to analyze the content of the question and identify the relevant contract information. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the questions received by the reception unit and obtain the appropriate contract information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also use AI to analyze trends in the content of questions and predict future question trends. For example, if AI analyzes past question data and discovers a tendency for many questions to be concentrated at a certain period, it can prepare an appropriate response for that period. This allows the analysis unit to not only quickly and accurately respond to questions from customers, but also predict future question trends and respond efficiently.

[0066] The access unit accesses the inquiry system of each contract service to acquire the contract information acquired by the analysis unit. The access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using, for example, an API. An API (Application Programming Interface) is an interface for exchanging data and functions between different software systems, and the access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using the API to acquire the necessary contract information. For example, when a customer asks, "Please tell me the contract renewal status," the access unit accesses the inquiry system of the contract service using the API to acquire the contract renewal status of the customer. The access unit can also directly access a database to acquire the contract information. A database is a system for storing contract information, and the access unit directly accesses the database to acquire the necessary contract information.

This makes it possible to provide information more efficiently and accurately using AI.

[0090] The provision unit can estimate the customer's emotions and adjust the length of the provision based on the estimated emotions. For example, the provision unit captures the customer's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the provision unit calculates an emotion score based on the change in facial expression. The provision unit can also record the customer's voice and estimate the emotion using voice analysis technology.

For example, the provision unit estimates the customer's emotion using text analysis technology. This allows the provision unit to estimate the customer's emotions and adjust the length of the provision based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the customer is dissatisfied, the provision unit provides a short and to the point provision. Also, if the customer is relaxed, the provision unit provides detailed provision. Furthermore, if the customer is in a hurry, the provision unit provides the provision quickly. This enables the length of the provision to be appropriate according to the customer's emotions. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI.

[0094] The authentication unit can adjust the level of detail of authentication based on the importance of the contract information at the time of authentication. The authentication unit, for example, evaluates the importance of the contract information, and performs detailed authentication for contract information with high importance.

In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.

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 (e.g., still image data or video data) is input. The data generation model 58 infers the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats of voice data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, a text generation AI, an image generation AI, and a multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI. The AI ​​other than the generation AI is, for example, a linear regression, a logistic regression, a decision tree, a random forest, a support vector machine (SVM), a k-means clustering, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), or a naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to such examples. The AI ​​may be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each part described above are performed by an AI, the processes are performed in part or in whole by the AI, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processes, and the rule-based processes may be replaced with processes performed by the AI ​​including the generation AI.

[0158] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.

[0160] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. 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 (e.g., still image data or video data) is input.

[0161] 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.

[0162] For example, the reception unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414. For example, a question in the form of voice is received using the microphone 238. The analysis unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The access unit accesses the inquiry system for the contract service via, for example, the communication I / F 26 of the data processing device 12. The provision unit provides information using, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414 or the control target 443. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] These emotions are distributed in the three 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.

[0166] 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).

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.
