[0028] (Example 1) The conversation buddy system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generation AI to create a chat robot that serves as a conversation buddy that matches the personality and character of the conversation partner, thereby relieving the other person's sense of loneliness. In the conversation buddy system, a user starts a conversation with a chat robot and inputs basic information (age, gender, hobbies, etc.). Next, the generation AI analyzes the user's input information and generates conversation content that matches the personality and character. For example, for a user whose hobby is watching movies, the system provides the latest movie information and conversations about recommended movies. Also, for an introverted user, the system provides a calm conversation that allows the user to relax. Furthermore, the conversation buddy system records the user's conversation history and adjusts the next conversation content based on the past conversation content. This makes the conversation with the user more natural and familiar. For example, a topic that the user showed interest in in the previous conversation can be brought up again in the next conversation. This mechanism allows the user to feel as if they always have a conversation partner without feeling lonely. For example, it is expected to be a source of emotional support for elderly people living alone and people who are socially isolated. As a result, the conversation buddy system can relieve the user's sense of loneliness and provide emotional support.

Specific content and analysis methods of social media activity include, for example, the posting content, the number of likes, the number of followers, etc. As a result, the recording unit can improve the accuracy of the recorded content by recording based on the user's social media activity. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the recording unit inputs the user's social media activity into the generation AI, and the generation AI generates the recorded content.

[0110] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0111] The conversation buddy system may further include a feedback unit. The feedback unit collects feedback provided by the user after a conversation with the conversation buddy system and transmits it to the analysis unit. For example, a questionnaire is provided in which the user evaluates his / her satisfaction with the conversation content, and the analysis unit receives the results and reflects them in the generation of the next conversation content. The feedback unit may also evaluate the degree of interest the user showed in a particular conversation topic and transmit the information to the recording unit. This allows the conversation buddy system to more precisely adjust the conversation content based on the user's feedback and improve the user's satisfaction.

[0112] The reception unit can monitor the user's input speed and frequency of input errors when inputting the user's basic information, and provide input assistance. For example, if the user is taking a long time to input information, the reception unit can provide an auto-completion function to enable the user to input information quickly. Also, if the user frequently makes input errors, the reception unit can display an error message and guide the user to a correct input method. Furthermore, if the user is having difficulty inputting information, the reception unit can suggest an input method using voice input or image recognition. This allows the reception unit to improve the user's input experience and support the user in inputting basic information accurately.

[0113] When analyzing the user's basic information, the analysis unit can refer to the user's past behavioral history and purchase history. For example, the analysis unit can identify the user's interests and concerns based on information about products and services the user has purchased in the past. The analysis unit can also identify the user's personality and preferences in more detail based on information about events and activities the user has participated in in the past. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's past online activities and search history to identify the user's current interests. This allows the analysis unit to more accurately identify the user's individuality and character based on multifaceted information about the user.

[0114] The generation unit can take into consideration the user's current health condition and mood when generating conversation content that matches the user's personality and character. For example, if the user is in good health, active and energetic conversation content can be generated. Also, if the user is tired, calm conversation content that helps the user relax can be generated. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation unit can generate conversation content about advice that helps relieve stress and relaxation methods. In this way, the generation unit can provide conversation content that matches the user's health condition and mood, and provide support that matches the user's mental and physical condition.

[0115] When the conversation unit converses with the user based on the generated conversation content, the conversation unit can analyze the user's speaking speed and tone of voice and adjust the progress of the conversation. For example, if the user speaks slowly, the conversation unit can proceed with the conversation at a slow pace. Also, if the user is excited, the conversation unit can proceed with the conversation in a lively tone. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the conversation unit can proceed with the conversation in a calm and subdued tone. In this way, the conversation unit can proceed with the conversation in accordance with the user's speaking style, providing a more natural and comfortable conversation experience.

[0116] When recording the conversation history, the recording unit can estimate the user's emotions and classify the recorded content based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user feels joy during a conversation, the conversation content can be classified as a "positive conversation." Also, if the user feels anxiety during a conversation, the conversation content can be classified as a "negative conversation." Furthermore, if the user shows interest during a conversation, the conversation content can be classified as an "interesting conversation." In this way, the recording unit can classify the conversation history based on the user's emotions and use the classification to generate the next conversation content.

[0117] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the design of the input interface based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user is nervous, a simple and intuitive design can be provided to reduce the burden of input. Also, if the user is relaxed, customizable detailed input options can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a design that prioritizes voice input or touch operation to enable quick input can be provided. In this way, the reception unit can provide an input interface according to the user's emotion and improve the user's input experience.

[0118] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, a simple and highly visible display method can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a display method including detailed information can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a display method that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, the analysis unit can make it easier to understand the analysis results by providing a display method according to the user's emotions.

[0119] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the generation method of the conversation content based on the estimated emotion. For example, when the user is relaxed, calm and relaxing conversation content can be generated. When the user is excited, lively conversation content can be generated. Furthermore, when the user is sad, comforting conversation content can be generated. In this way, the generation unit can realize a more natural conversation by generating conversation content according to the user's emotion.

[0120] The conversation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the conversation proceeds based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the conversation can proceed in a calm and relaxing manner. If the user is relaxed, the conversation can proceed by providing an interesting topic. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the conversation can proceed by focusing on the main points. In this way, the conversation unit can realize a more natural conversation by providing a way to proceed with the conversation according to the user's emotions.

[0121] The process flow of the second embodiment will be briefly described below.

[0122] Step 1: The reception unit inputs basic information of a user. The basic information of a user includes, for example, age, sex, hobbies, etc. The reception unit receives information such as age, sex, hobbies, etc. input by the user. Step 2: The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the information entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit identifies the user's personality and character based on information such as the user's age, gender, and hobbies. Step 3: The generation unit uses the generation AI to generate conversation content based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, if the user's hobby is watching movies, the generation unit generates conversation content about the latest movie information and recommended movies. In addition, if the user's personality is introverted, the generation unit can also generate calm conversation content that will help the user relax. Step 4: The conversation unit converses with the user based on the conversation content generated by the generation unit. The conversation unit converses naturally with the user based on the generated conversation content. Step 5: The recording unit records the conversation content carried out by the conversation unit. The recording unit records the conversation history with the user and adjusts the next conversation content.

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 and / or a LAN.

[0162] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. 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 microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0163] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs the voice according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0164] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, an aperture, and a shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (e.g., an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the width of the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0165] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is performed in a secure state.

[0166] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and legs. The posture and behavior of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and legs. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0167] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, 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.

[0168] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0169] 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.

[0170] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads out the specific program 60 from the storage 50, and executes the specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0173] 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. 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, conversation unit, and recording unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414, and inputs basic information of the user. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the input information using a generation AI. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and generates conversation content based on the analyzed information. The conversation unit is realized, for example, by the speaker 240 of the robot 414, and converses with the user based on the generated conversation content. The recording unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and records the conversation content. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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).

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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."

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.
