[0059] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0060] The reverse photo camera & photo editor may further include a music synchronization unit. The music synchronization unit can apply reverse photo effects to photos and videos in sync with music selected by the user. For example, the color tone of the photo can be changed in sync with the tempo of the music. Also, the video frames can be switched in sync with the rhythm of the music. Furthermore, the strength of the reverse photo effect can be adjusted based on the emotional tone of the music. This allows for a reverse photo effect that is synchronized with the music.

[0061] The reverse photo camera & photo editor can further include a weather information acquisition unit. The weather information acquisition unit can acquire current weather information and perform reverse photo processing based on that information. For example, on rainy days, a raindrop effect can be added to photos. On cloudy days, the color tone of photos can be darkened. Furthermore, on sunny days, strong light reflections can be added to photos. This makes it possible to provide reverse photo effects based on weather information.

[0062] The reverse photo camera & photo editor can further include a location information acquisition unit. The location information acquisition unit can acquire the user's current location and perform reverse photo processing based on that information. For example, in urban areas, it can add the shadows of buildings to photos. In nature, it can also add tree and grass effects to photos. Furthermore, it can add sand and wave effects to photos at the beach. This makes it possible to provide reverse photo effects based on location information.

[0063] The reverse photo camera & photo editor can further include a time information acquisition unit.

For example, it can add dark tones to photos at night, add an orange filter to photos in the evening, or add a soft light effect to photos in the morning. This makes it possible to provide reverse photo effects based on time information.

[0064] The reverse photo camera & photo editor can further include a user hobby information acquisition unit. The hobby information acquisition unit can perform reverse photo processing based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, for a user who likes music, music-related effects can be added. Also, for a user who likes sports, sports-related effects can be added. Furthermore, for a user who likes art, art-style filters can be added. This makes it possible to provide reverse photo effects based on the user's hobbies and interests.

[0065] The Reverse Photo Camera & Photo Editor can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the intensity of the reverse photo effect based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the intensity of the reverse photo effect can be reduced. If the user is feeling relaxed, the intensity of the reverse photo effect can be increased. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the intensity of the reverse photo effect can be adjusted to a medium level. This makes it possible to provide a reverse photo effect based on the user's emotions.

[0066] The Reverse Photo Camera & Photo Editor can also estimate the user's emotions and suggest types of reverse photo effects based on those emotions. For example, if the user is sad, it can suggest reverse photo effects with bright colors. If the user is happy, it can suggest reverse photo effects with calm colors. Furthermore, if the user is angry, it can suggest reverse photo effects with calm colors. This makes it possible to suggest reverse photo effects based on the user's emotions.

[0067] The Reverse Photo Camera & Photo Editor can also estimate the user's emotions and select a reverse photo filter based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a soft-toned filter can be selected. If the user is excited, a vibrant-toned filter can be selected. Furthermore, if the user is tired, a calm-toned filter can be selected. This makes it possible to select a reverse photo filter based on the user's emotions.

[0068] The Reverse Photo Camera & Photo Editor can also estimate the user's emotions and select a reverse photo effect based on that emotion. For example, if the user is happy, a bright effect can be selected. If the user is sad, a dark effect can be selected. Furthermore, if the user is angry, a calm effect can be selected. This makes it possible to select a reverse photo effect based on the user's emotions.

[0069] The Reverse Photo Camera & Photo Editor can also estimate the user's emotions and suggest reverse photo templates based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a template with a relaxed atmosphere can be suggested. If the user is excited, a template with an energetic atmosphere can be suggested. Furthermore, if the user is tired, a template with a calm atmosphere can be suggested. This makes it possible to suggest reverse photo templates based on the user's emotions.

[0070] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0071] Step 1: The photo acquisition unit acquires a photo from a user. For example, the photo can be acquired directly from a camera device. Alternatively, the photo can be acquired by the user uploading a file. Step 2: The generation AI processing unit analyzes the photo acquired by the photo acquisition unit. For example, it can analyze the content of the photo using image recognition technology and extract features of the photo using an AI algorithm. Step 3: The reverse image processing unit processes the photo analyzed by the generation AI processing unit to intentionally make it look worse. For example, it can make the photo look worse by changing the color tone of the photo, reducing the resolution, or adding noise.

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 a data format such as voice data and text data. 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 model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, 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 is 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 entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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).

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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."

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: A CPU is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A dedicated electrical circuit, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), is a processor with a circuit configuration specifically designed to execute a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.
