[0028] (Example 1) A search system according to an embodiment of the present invention automatically interprets a user's search query, generates a supplementary query using a generation AI, asynchronously queries a search engine, and summarizes and displays the results. This allows the search system to interpret the user's search query and provide higher quality search results.
[0029] A search system according to an embodiment includes a query receiving unit, a generation AI, a query decomposition unit, an asynchronous query unit, a summary generation unit, and a result page creation unit. The query receiving unit receives a user's search query. For example, the query receiving unit can receive a query in text format. The query receiving unit can also receive a query in voice format. The query receiving unit can also receive a query in image format. The generation AI interprets the query received by the query receiving unit. For example, the generation AI interprets the query using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The generation AI can also interpret the query using a multimodal generation AI. The generation AI can also interpret the query using natural language processing technology. The query decomposition unit decomposes the query interpreted by the generation AI and generates a supplemental query. For example, the query decomposition unit decomposes the query using keyword extraction technology. The query decomposition unit can also decompose the query using grammar analysis technology. The query decomposition unit can also decompose the query using topic modeling technology. The asynchronous query unit asynchronously queries the search engine with the multiple queries generated by the query decomposition unit. For example, the asynchronous query unit queries the search engine using an asynchronous communication protocol. The asynchronous query unit can also query the search engine using parallel processing technology. The asynchronous query unit can also query the search engine using real-time monitoring technology. The summary generation unit interprets the search results obtained by the asynchronous query unit and creates summaries. For example, the summary generation unit creates summaries using a summarization algorithm. The summary generation unit can also create summaries using information extraction technology. The summary generation unit can also create summaries using natural language generation technology. The result page creation unit creates a result page based on the summaries created by the summary generation unit. For example, the result page creation unit creates a result page using page layout technology. The result page creation unit can also create a result page using information display technology.The result page creation unit can also create a result page using user interface design technology. This allows the search system according to the embodiment to interpret a user's search query and provide higher quality search results. For example, the search system may interpret a user's search query, generate a supplemental query, asynchronously query a search engine, and summarize and display the results. This allows the user to obtain more diversified and higher quality information.
[0030] The generation AI can refer to a user's past search history or browsing history to provide a more personalized interpretation. For example, if a user types, "I want to know reviews of the latest smartphones," the generation AI will refer to the user's past search history and prioritize reviews of specific brands and models, taking into account the brands and models of smartphones the user has previously searched for. The generation AI can also refer to the user's past browsing history to provide a more appropriate interpretation based on the information the user has previously viewed. For example, the generation AI will interpret reviews of the latest smartphones based on reviews of smartphones the user has previously viewed. This allows the generation AI to provide more appropriate search results based on the user's past behavior.
[0031] The generation AI can prioritize region-specific information based on the user's current geographic location information. For example, if a user types "nearby cafe," the generation AI obtains the user's current geographic location information and prioritizes nearby cafes based on that location. For example, if the user is in Tokyo, it will provide information about cafes in Tokyo. The generation AI can also prioritize region-specific events and services based on the user's geographic location information. For example, if the user is in Osaka, it will provide information about events held in Osaka. This allows the generation AI to provide more appropriate search results based on the user's current location.
[0032] The query receiving unit can adopt an input method using gestures or eye tracking in addition to voice input. For example, when a user inputs a search query, the query receiving unit adopts gesture input in addition to voice input. For example, the user can input a specific command by waving his or her hand. The query receiving unit can also adopt an input method using eye tracking. For example, the user can input a search query by fixing his or her gaze at a specific position. This allows for the adoption of a variety of input methods, thereby improving user convenience.
[0033] Generative AI can understand a broader context based on the content of a user's social media posts. For example, if a user types in "recommended movies," generative AI can refer to the social media posts and interpret more personalized movies based on the user's previously posted movie preferences and ratings. Generative AI can also understand a user's interests based on the content of the user's social media posts. For example, it can interpret recommended music based on the user's previously posted music preferences. This allows the system to provide more relevant search results by referring to the user's social media posts.
[0034] The query decomposition unit can use either specialized or general terms, taking into account the user's level of expertise. For example, if a user inputs "latest AI technology," the generation AI will consider the user's level of expertise and generate a query using specialized terms and a query using general terms. For example, it will generate "latest deep learning technology" and "latest AI technology." The query decomposition unit can also use appropriate terms based on the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user is a beginner, it will generate a query using general terms, and if the user is an expert, it will generate a query using specialized terms. This makes it possible to provide appropriate search results according to the user's level of expertise.
[0035] The query decomposition unit can automatically extract related topics or subtopics and generate more detailed supplemental queries. For example, if a user enters "latest smartphone reviews," the generation AI automatically extracts related topics and subtopics and generates supplemental queries such as "2023 smartphone reviews" or "comparison of popular smartphones." The query decomposition unit can also extract related topics and subtopics using topic modeling technology. For example, the generation AI uses topic modeling technology to extract related keywords and phrases and generate supplemental queries based on them. This allows for the automatic extraction of related topics and subtopics, thereby providing more detailed search results.
[0036] The query decomposition unit can obtain information from an international perspective by generating supplemental queries in different languages. For example, if a user inputs "reviews of the latest smartphones," the generation AI generates supplemental queries in different languages, such as "reviews of smartphones in 2023 (English)" or "reviews of the latest smartphones (Chinese)." The query decomposition unit can also generate supplemental queries in different languages using machine translation technology. For example, the generation AI uses machine translation technology to translate a user's query into multiple languages and generates supplemental queries based on the translated queries. In this way, by generating supplemental queries in different languages, information from an international perspective can be provided.
[0037] The query decomposition unit can suggest related topics based on the user's interests. For example, if a user enters "latest smartphone reviews," the generation AI will take the user's interests into consideration and suggest related topics such as "smartphone camera performance" and "battery life." The query decomposition unit can also suggest related topics based on the user's past search history and social media posts. For example, the generation AI can suggest related topics based on the user's past searches and posts. This allows the system to provide more appropriate search results based on the user's interests.
[0038] The asynchronous query unit can monitor the response speed of the search engine in real time and send queries at the optimal timing. In the asynchronous query unit, for example, the generation AI monitors the response speed of the search engine in real time and sends queries when the response speed is fast. For example, queries are sent at times when the server load is low. The asynchronous query unit can also monitor the response speed of the search engine using real-time monitoring technology. For example, the generation AI uses real-time monitoring technology to evaluate the response speed of the search engine and send queries at the optimal timing. This allows queries to be sent at the optimal timing based on the response speed of the search engine.
[0039] The asynchronous query unit can sequentially analyze asynchronous query results and notify the user when important information is obtained. For example, if a user searches for "reviews of the latest smartphones," the asynchronous query unit will notify the user when an important review is found. The asynchronous query unit can also identify important information based on the query results and notify the user. For example, the generation AI will analyze the query results, evaluate important information, and notify the user. This enables a quick response by notifying the user when important information is obtained.
[0040] The asynchronous query unit can use multiple search engines simultaneously to obtain more diverse information. In the asynchronous query unit, for example, the generation AI uses multiple search engines simultaneously to make asynchronous queries. For example, search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo are used simultaneously to obtain information. The asynchronous query unit can also use multiple search engines simultaneously using parallel search technology. For example, the generation AI uses parallel search technology to send queries to multiple search engines simultaneously to obtain information. In this way, by using multiple search engines, more diverse information can be provided.
[0041] The asynchronous query unit can automatically categorize asynchronous query results and display them by category according to the user's needs. For example, the generation AI automatically categorizes asynchronous query results and displays them by category according to the user's needs. For example, if a user searches for "latest smartphone reviews," the results are categorized into reviews, comparisons, expert opinions, etc. The asynchronous query unit can also display information by category according to the user's needs based on the query results. For example, the generation AI analyzes the query results and displays information by category according to the user's needs. This makes it possible to provide information by category according to the user's needs.
[0042] When creating a summary of search results, the summary generation unit can refer to the user's past search history to provide a more personalized summary. For example, when the generation AI creates a summary of search results, the summary generation unit can refer to the user's past search history to provide a personalized summary based on the user's interests. For example, a summary can be created based on the brands and models of smartphones that the user has searched for in the past. The summary generation unit can also provide an appropriate summary based on the user's past search history. For example, the generation AI can provide a personalized summary based on the content that the user has searched for in the past. This makes it possible to provide a more appropriate summary based on the user's past search history.
[0043] The summary generation unit can automatically extract related images and videos when creating a summary, and provide a summary that is visually easy to understand. For example, when the generation AI creates a summary of search results, the summary generation unit automatically extracts related images and videos, and provides a summary that is visually easy to understand. For example, images and videos related to smartphone reviews can be included in the summary. The summary generation unit can also provide a summary that is visually easy to understand based on images and videos. For example, the generation AI analyzes images and videos, extracts visually easy-to-understand information, and creates a summary based on that information. This makes it possible to provide a summary that is visually easy to understand.
[0044] The summary generation unit can provide information from an international perspective by automatically translating the summaries of search results into different languages. For example, the generation AI automatically translates the summaries of search results into different languages to provide information from an international perspective. For example, translation into multiple languages such as English, French, and Chinese. The summary generation unit can also provide summaries in different languages using machine translation technology. For example, the generation AI uses machine translation technology to translate the summaries of search results into multiple languages and provides information based on that. In this way, by automatically translating into different languages, information from an international perspective can be provided.
[0045] When creating a summary, the summary generation unit can suggest related topics based on the user's interests. For example, when the generation AI creates a summary of search results, the summary generation unit takes the user's interests into consideration and suggests related topics such as "smartphone camera performance" and "battery life." The summary generation unit can also suggest related topics based on the user's past search history and social media posts. For example, the generation AI can suggest related topics based on the user's past searches and posts. This allows the system to provide a more appropriate summary based on the user's interests.
[0046] When creating a result page, the result page creation unit can refer to the user's past browsing history and provide a more personalized result page. For example, when the generation AI creates a result page, the result page creation unit can refer to the user's past browsing history and provide a personalized result page based on the user's interests and concerns. For example, the result page can be created based on the brand and model of smartphones that the user has previously viewed. The result page creation unit can also provide an appropriate result page based on the user's past browsing history. For example, the generation AI can provide a personalized result page based on the content that the user has previously viewed. This makes it possible to provide a more appropriate result page based on the user's past browsing history.
[0047] The result page creation unit can automatically extract related images and videos when creating a result page, and provide a result page that is visually easy to understand. For example, when the generation AI creates a result page, the result page creation unit can automatically extract related images and videos, and provide a result page that is visually easy to understand. For example, images and videos related to smartphone reviews can be included in the result page. The result page creation unit can also provide a result page that is visually easy to understand based on images and videos. For example, the generation AI analyzes images and videos, extracts visually easy to understand information, and creates a result page based on that information. This makes it possible to provide a result page that is visually easy to understand.
[0048] The result page creation unit can provide information from an international perspective by automatically translating the result page into different languages. For example, the generation AI automatically translates the result page into different languages to provide information from an international perspective. For example, translation into multiple languages such as English, French, and Chinese. The result page creation unit can also provide result pages in different languages using machine translation technology. For example, the generation AI uses machine translation technology to translate the result page into multiple languages and provides information based on that. In this way, by automatically translating into different languages, information from an international perspective can be provided.
[0049] When creating a result page, the result page creation unit can suggest related topics based on the user's interests. For example, when the generation AI creates a result page, the result page creation unit takes the user's interests into consideration and suggests related topics such as "smartphone camera performance" and "battery life." The result page creation unit can also suggest related topics based on the user's past search history and social media posts. For example, the generation AI can suggest related topics based on the user's past searches and posts. This makes it possible to provide a more appropriate result page based on the user's interests.
[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0051] The query receiving unit receives a user's search query. For example, the query receiving unit can receive a query in text format. The query receiving unit can also receive a query in voice format. The query receiving unit can also receive a query in image format.

[0058] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0059] Step 1: The query receiving unit receives a user's search query. For example, the query receiving unit can receive the query in text format, voice format, or image format. Step 2: The generation AI interprets the query received by the query receiving unit. For example, the generation AI interprets the query using text generation AI (e.g., LLM), multimodal generation AI, or natural language processing technology. Step 3: The query decomposition unit decomposes the query interpreted by the generation AI and generates a supplementary query. For example, the query decomposition unit decomposes the query using keyword extraction technology, grammar analysis technology, and topic modeling technology. Step 4: The asynchronous query unit asynchronously queries the search engine with the multiple queries generated by the query decomposition unit.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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."
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.

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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation 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, 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.
