[0028] (Example 1) A message conversion system according to an embodiment of the present invention translates emails and short messages into colloquial language and plays the translated colloquial message through a speaker. The message conversion system accepts emails or short messages, converts the accepted message from written language to colloquial language, and plays the translated colloquial message aloud. When a user verbally responds to the message, the system converts the response into written language and automatically transmits it. For example, a user inputs a message received on a smartphone or computer into the system. This message is accepted by a message acceptance unit. The accepted message is then converted from written language to colloquial language. The colloquial language conversion unit analyzes the written message and converts it into a more natural colloquial language. For example, a written expression such as "Thank you for your help" is converted into a colloquial language such as "Hello." The translated colloquial message is then played aloud by a playback unit. The playback unit has a function for emphasizing specific keywords and a function for adjusting the tone and speed of the audio based on user settings. For example, important keywords can be emphasized during playback to ensure that the user does not miss important information. When a user verbally responds to a message played back as audio, the response is accepted by the response acceptance unit. The response acceptance unit converts the user's speech into text, which is then converted into written language by the literary style conversion unit. For example, a verbal response such as "Yes, I understand" is converted into written language such as "I understand." Finally, the converted response is automatically transmitted by the transmission unit. The transmission unit has a function to prompt the user for confirmation before transmission. For example, the user can review the content of the message and revise it as necessary. This system facilitates the exchange of emails and short messages, improving user convenience. For example, it enables quick and accurate communication in business situations. It also has the function of accepting multiple messages at once and the function of determining the importance of messages and processing them preferentially, enabling efficient message management. As a result, the message conversion system can translate emails and short messages into colloquial language, play them back aloud, and automatically transmit the verbal response converted into written language.

[0029] A message conversion system according to an embodiment includes a message receiving unit, a colloquial language conversion unit, a playback unit, a response receiving unit, a written language conversion unit, and a transmission unit. The message receiving unit receives an email message or a short message. Examples of the email message or short message include, but are not limited to, a text message or a message with an image. The message receiving unit inputs a message received by a user on a smartphone or a personal computer into the system. The message is received by the message receiving unit. The colloquial language conversion unit converts the received message from written language to colloquial language. The colloquial language conversion unit, for example, analyzes a written message and converts it to a more natural colloquial language. For example, the colloquial language conversion unit converts a written expression such as "Thank you for your help" to a more natural colloquial expression such as "Hello." The colloquial language conversion unit uses a generation AI to analyze the written message and convert it to a more natural colloquial language. The generation AI converts the written message to a colloquial language using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The playback unit plays back the colloquial message converted by the colloquial language conversion unit as audio. The playback unit has, for example, a function to highlight specific keywords and a function to adjust the tone and speed of the audio based on information set by the user.

[0030] The message reception unit receives email messages or short messages. Examples of email messages or short messages include, but are not limited to, text messages and messages with images. The message reception unit inputs messages received by users on their smartphones or personal computers into the system. These messages are then received by the message reception unit. The message reception unit analyzes the received messages and identifies their type and content. For example, in the case of text messages, the message content is analyzed and important keywords and phrases are extracted. In the case of messages with images, the image content is analyzed using image recognition technology and relevant text information is extracted. Furthermore, the message reception unit records metadata, such as the sender and date and time of the received message, for use in subsequent processing. The message reception unit uses AI to classify the content of the message and prepare for appropriate processing. For example, the message reception unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the intent of the message and select the appropriate conversion process. The message reception unit also has a function to filter specific messages based on user settings. For example, it can automatically filter out spam messages and unnecessary notifications, and process only important messages. This allows the message receiving unit to efficiently and accurately receive messages and provide information necessary for subsequent processing.

[0031] The colloquial language conversion unit converts the received message from formal language to colloquial language. For example, the colloquial language conversion unit analyzes a formal message and converts it to a natural colloquial language. For example, it converts a formal expression such as "Thank you for your help" to a colloquial expression such as "Hello." The colloquial language conversion unit uses a generation AI to analyze the formal message and convert it to a natural colloquial language. The generation AI converts the formal message to a colloquial language using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). Specifically, the generation AI receives a formal message as input and converts it to a colloquial language by applying grammar and vocabulary conversion rules. For example, it replaces honorifics and polite language contained in the formal message with appropriate colloquial expressions. The generation AI can also add appropriate conjunctions and phrases to understand the context and maintain a natural conversational flow. Furthermore, the generation AI can learn user preferences and past message history and perform personalized conversions. For example, it converts to a colloquial language that reflects the expressions and style preferred by a specific user. This allows the colloquial language conversion unit to convert a written message into a natural, easily understandable colloquial language, thereby providing a message that is easy for the user to use.

[0032] The playback unit plays back the colloquial message converted by the colloquial conversion unit. The playback unit has functions, for example, to highlight specific keywords and to adjust the tone and speed of the speech based on user settings. For example, by emphasizing important keywords during playback, the user can ensure that they do not miss important information. The playback unit uses a generation AI to play back the colloquial message. The generation AI uses a speech generation AI to play back the colloquial message. Specifically, the generation AI generates natural pronunciation and intonation when converting text to speech. For example, the speech generation AI understands the context of the text and adds appropriate emotion and emphasis to generate more natural, easy-to-listen speech. The playback unit also has a function to adjust the tone and speed of the speech according to the user's preferences. For example, if a user prefers fast playback, the playback speed can be adjusted to quickly convey the message. The playback unit also has a function to highlight specific keywords and phrases.

This allows the playback unit to provide users with an easy-to-understand and effective speech message.

[0033] The answer acceptance unit accepts the user's answer to the message played by the playback unit. For example, the answer acceptance unit converts the user's voice into text, and then the literary style conversion unit converts it into literary style. The answer acceptance unit converts the user's voice into text using voice recognition technology. Specifically, a voice recognition AI analyzes the user's speech in real time and converts it into text data. For example, if the user utters "Yes, I understand," the voice recognition AI acquires this as text data. Furthermore, the answer acceptance unit analyzes the content of the user's speech and prepares to convert it into an appropriate literary style. For example, it analyzes the intention and emotion of the speech content and selects an appropriate literary style expression. As a result, the answer acceptance unit can accurately convert the user's voice answer into text and use it for subsequent processing.

[0034] The literary style conversion unit converts the response received by the response receiving unit into a literary style. For example, the literary style conversion unit converts a verbal response such as "Yes, I understand" into a literary style such as "I understand." The literary style conversion unit converts the verbal response into a literary style using a generation AI. The generation AI converts the verbal response into a literary style using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). Specifically, the generation AI receives the verbal response as input and converts it into a literary style by applying grammar and vocabulary conversion rules. For example, it converts the colloquial expression "I understand" into the literary style "I understand." The generation AI also understands the context and generates more formal literary expressions by adding appropriate honorifics and polite language. Furthermore, the generation AI can learn user preferences and past message history and perform personalized conversions. For example, it converts into a literary style that reflects the expressions and style preferred by a specific user. As a result, the literary style conversion unit converts the verbal response into a natural and appropriate literary style, thereby providing a message that is easy for the user to use.

[0035] The sending unit automatically sends the response in formal language converted by the formal language conversion unit. The sending unit has, for example, a function to prompt the user for confirmation before sending. For example, the user can check the content of the message and correct it if necessary. The sending unit automatically sends the response in formal language using a generation AI. The generation AI automatically sends the response in formal language using a text generation AI (for example, LLM).

[0039] The message reception unit can have a function of accepting multiple messages in a batch. This enables efficient message management. The message reception unit can set the number and type of messages to be accepted simultaneously. For example, the message reception unit can set the number of messages to be accepted simultaneously and accept multiple messages in a batch. The message reception unit can also set the type of messages to be accepted simultaneously and accept messages of a specific type in a batch. This enables efficient message management by the message reception unit accepting multiple messages in a batch. Some or all of the above-described processing in the message reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the message reception unit can have the generation AI set the number and type of messages in order to accept multiple messages in a batch.

[0040] The system includes a determination unit that determines the importance of each of the plurality of messages, and the colloquial language conversion unit can convert the plurality of messages from a written style to a colloquial style in descending order of importance determined by the determination unit. The determination unit, for example, determines the importance of the plurality of messages. The importance is determined, for example, based on urgency or the importance of the content, but is not limited to such examples. The determination unit determines the importance of the messages based on urgency, for example. For example, the determination unit prioritizes determining messages with a high urgency as being of high importance. The determination unit can also determine the importance of the messages based on the importance of the content. For example, the determination unit prioritizes determining messages with a high importance as being of high importance. The colloquial language conversion unit converts the plurality of messages from a written style to a colloquial style in descending order of importance determined by the determination unit. For example, the colloquial language conversion unit prioritizes converting messages with a high importance from a written style to a colloquial style. As a result, the colloquial language conversion unit can quickly process important messages by preferentially converting messages with a high importance to a colloquial style. Some or all of the above-described processes in the determination unit and the colloquial language conversion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the determination unit may have the generation AI evaluate the urgency or importance of the content to determine the importance of the message.

Using a generative AI, it analyzes the formal message and converts it into a natural colloquial style. Step 3: The playback unit plays the colloquial message converted by the colloquial conversion unit. The playback unit has the function of emphasizing specific keywords and adjusting the tone and speed of the voice based on information set by the user. The generation AI is used to play the colloquial message. Step 4: The answer receiving unit receives the user's answer to the message played by the playback unit. The user's voice is converted into text, and the written language conversion unit converts it into written language. Step 5: The literary style conversion unit converts the answer received by the answer receiving unit into a literary style. For example, a verbal answer such as "Yes, I understand" is converted into a literary style such as "I'll acknowledge that." The verbal answer is converted into a literary style using a generation AI. Step 6: The sending unit automatically sends the response in formal language converted by the formal language conversion unit. It has a function that prompts the user to confirm the content before sending, allowing the user to check the content of the message and make corrections as necessary. The response in formal language is automatically sent using the generation AI.

[0080] (Example 2) A message conversion system according to an embodiment of the present invention translates emails and short messages into colloquial language and plays the translated colloquial message through a speaker. The message conversion system accepts emails or short messages, converts the accepted message from written language to colloquial language, and plays the translated colloquial message aloud. When a user verbally responds to the message, the system converts the response into written language and automatically transmits it. For example, a user inputs a message received on a smartphone or computer into the system. This message is accepted by a message acceptance unit. The accepted message is then converted from written language to colloquial language. The colloquial language conversion unit analyzes the written message and converts it into a more natural colloquial language. For example, a written expression such as "Thank you for your help" is converted into a colloquial language such as "Hello." The translated colloquial message is then played aloud by a playback unit.

[0150] Step 1: The message reception unit receives email messages or short messages. Email messages and short messages include text messages and messages with images. A user inputs a message received on a smartphone or computer into the system, and the message reception unit receives it. Step 2: The colloquial language conversion unit converts the accepted message from formal to colloquial language. For example, it converts a formal expression such as "Thank you for your help" into a colloquial expression such as "Hello." Using a generative AI, it analyzes the formal message and converts it into a natural colloquial style. Step 3: The playback unit plays the colloquial message converted by the colloquial conversion unit. The playback unit has the function of emphasizing specific keywords and adjusting the tone and speed of the voice based on information set by the user. The generation AI is used to play the colloquial message. Step 4: The answer receiving unit receives the user's answer to the message played by the playback unit. The user's voice is converted into text, and the written language conversion unit converts it into written language. Step 5: The literary style conversion unit converts the answer received by the answer receiving unit into a literary style. For example, a verbal answer such as "Yes, I understand" is converted into a literary style such as "I'll acknowledge that." The verbal answer is converted into a literary style using a generation AI. Step 6: The sending unit automatically sends the response in formal language converted by the formal language conversion unit. It has a function that prompts the user to confirm the content before sending, allowing the user to check the content of the message and make corrections as necessary. The response in formal language is automatically sent using the generation AI.

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. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. The AIs other than the generation AI are, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but are not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or in whole by AI, but are not limited to these examples.In addition, processing performed by AI including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI including the generation AI.

[0201] 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. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt including an instruction and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats, such as 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 identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing 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. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.

[0202] 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 also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, 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.

[0203] For example, the message receiving unit is realized by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the message can be received using the microphone 238 or the camera 42 of the robot 414. The colloquial language conversion unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and converts a written message into a colloquial message. The playback unit is realized by, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and plays the converted colloquial message aloud. The answer receiving unit is realized by, for example, the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and converts the user's voice into text. The written language conversion unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and converts a verbal answer into a written answer. The transmission unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and automatically transmits a written answer. The determination unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and determines the importance of the message. The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0204] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0205] FIG. 9 illustrates 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. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0206] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically 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.

[0207] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0208] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0209] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs 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 a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0210] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of 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, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.

[0211] 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.

[0212] 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 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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.

[0213] Alternatively, 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 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0214] 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.

[0215] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0216] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with 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.

[0217] As an example of a system configured with a single 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 system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an 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.

[0218] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0219] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects 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 replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
