For example, for younger users, many questions related to risk tolerance are included. The needs gathering unit also provides customized question sets according to the user's occupation to gather their investment needs. For example, for freelance users, questions related to income fluctuations are included. This makes it possible to provide customized question sets for users of different age groups and occupations to gather their needs in more detail.

[0040] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0041] The needs gathering unit can also gather investment needs based on the user's health condition and lifestyle. For example, it can suggest healthcare-related stocks to a health-conscious user. It can also suggest stocks of eco-friendly companies or companies that focus on sustainability based on the user's lifestyle. This makes it possible to provide more personalized investment candidates based on the user's health condition and lifestyle.

[0042] The needs gathering unit can also gather investment needs based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, it can suggest stocks of sports-related companies to a user who likes sports. It can also suggest stocks of companies with the latest technology to a user who is interested in technology. This makes it possible to provide more personalized investment suggestions based on the user's hobbies and interests.

[0043] The needs gathering unit can also utilize the user's geographical location information to propose investment candidates specialized for the region. For example, it can propose stocks related to companies in the region where the user lives or industries expected to grow in that region. It can also provide investment candidates that take into account the region's economic situation and market trends based on the geographical location information. This makes it possible to provide investment candidates specialized for the region by utilizing the user's geographical location information.

[0044] The Historical Information Analysis Department analyzes not only past market data, but also weather data and natural disaster history to assess the risk of potential investments. For example, it assesses the risk of companies in areas where natural disasters occur frequently. It can also predict the performance of agricultural companies based on weather data. This allows it to analyze not only past market data, but also weather data and natural disaster history, providing a more comprehensive risk assessment.

[0045] The Future Forecast Information Analysis Department can collect the opinions of experts from different industries and make future forecasts from multiple perspectives. For example, it can combine the opinions of technology industry experts and economists. It can also provide more diversified future forecasts based on the opinions of experts from different industries. This allows it to collect the opinions of experts from different industries and make future forecasts from multiple perspectives.

[0046] The future forecast information analysis unit can customize and individually provide future forecast information according to the user's investment style. For example, the future forecast information analysis unit can suggest stocks that are expected to have stable growth to a risk-averse user. The future forecast information analysis unit can also suggest stocks that are expected to have high returns to a risk-seeking user. This allows future forecast information to be customized and individually provided according to the user's investment style.

[0047] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0048] Step 1: The needs gathering unit gathers the needs of individuals.

For example, by uploading logos or product images of companies in which the user is interested, the system will suggest investment candidates related to those companies. This allows a wider variety of input methods to be provided when gathering user needs using voice input and image analysis.

[0064] The needs gathering unit can provide customized question sets for users of different age groups and occupations to gather their needs in more detail. The needs gathering unit, for example, provides customized question sets according to the user's age group to gather their investment needs. For example, for younger users, many questions related to risk tolerance are included. The needs gathering unit also provides customized question sets according to the user's occupation to gather their investment needs. For example, for freelance users, questions related to income fluctuations are included. This makes it possible to provide customized question sets for users of different age groups and occupations to gather their needs in more detail.

[0065] The needs gathering unit can use the emotion estimation function to monitor the emotions of the user when entering input in real time and dynamically adjust the input content. For example, the needs gathering unit monitors the emotions of the user when entering input in real time, and if negative emotions are detected, dynamically adjusts the input content. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the needs gathering unit suggests investment candidates with low risk. On the other hand, if positive emotions are detected, the needs gathering unit suggests investment candidates with high risk but high return. In this way, the emotions of the user when entering input can be monitored in real time and the input content can be dynamically adjusted.

[0066] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0067] The needs gathering unit can also gather investment needs based on the user's health condition and lifestyle. For example, it can suggest healthcare-related stocks to a health-conscious user. It can also suggest stocks of eco-friendly companies or companies that focus on sustainability based on the user's lifestyle. This makes it possible to provide more personalized investment candidates based on the user's health condition and lifestyle.

[0068] The needs gathering unit can also gather investment needs based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, it can suggest stocks of sports-related companies to a user who likes sports. It can also suggest stocks of companies with the latest technology to a user who is interested in technology. This makes it possible to provide more personalized investment suggestions based on the user's hobbies and interests.

[0069] The needs gathering unit can also utilize the user's geographical location information to propose investment candidates specialized for the region. For example, it can propose stocks related to companies in the region where the user lives or industries expected to grow in that region. It can also provide investment candidates that take into account the region's economic situation and market trends based on the geographical location information. This makes it possible to provide investment candidates specialized for the region by utilizing the user's geographical location information.

[0070] The needs gathering unit can estimate the user's emotions and, based on the estimated emotions, suggest investment candidates that will give the user a sense of security. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, low-risk investment candidates can be suggested. On the other hand, if the user is excited, investment candidates that are high-risk but also offer high returns can be suggested. In this way, the user's emotions can be estimated and investment candidates that will give the user a sense of security can be provided.

[0071] The Historical Information Analysis Department analyzes not only past market data, but also weather data and natural disaster history to assess the risk of potential investments. For example, it assesses the risk of companies in areas where natural disasters occur frequently. It can also predict the performance of agricultural companies based on weather data. This allows it to analyze not only past market data, but also weather data and natural disaster history, providing a more comprehensive risk assessment.

[0072] The historical information analysis unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze investor emotions regarding past market data and identify emotional trends. For example, it analyzes how investors felt during past market crashes. It can also predict future market trends based on emotional trends. This makes it possible to analyze investor emotions regarding past market data and identify emotional trends.

[0073] The Future Forecast Information Analysis Department can collect the opinions of experts from different industries and make future forecasts from multiple perspectives. For example, it can combine the opinions of technology industry experts and economists. It can also provide more diversified future forecasts based on the opinions of experts from different industries. This allows it to collect the opinions of experts from different industries and make future forecasts from multiple perspectives.

[0074] The future forecast information analysis unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze market emotions regarding future forecast information and can provide emotionally positive forecasts with priority. For example, it prioritizes information with a large number of optimistic forecasts. The future forecast information analysis unit also prioritizes emotionally positive forecasts with priority. For example, it prioritizes highly profitable forecasts and low-risk forecasts. This makes it possible to analyze market emotions regarding future forecast information and provide emotionally positive forecasts with priority.

[0075] The future forecast information analysis unit can customize and individually provide future forecast information according to the user's investment style. For example, the future forecast information analysis unit can suggest stocks that are expected to have stable growth to a risk-averse user. The future forecast information analysis unit can also suggest stocks that are expected to have high returns to a risk-seeking user. This allows future forecast information to be customized and individually provided according to the user's investment style.

[0076] The future prediction information analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to monitor the user's emotional response to future prediction information in real time and dynamically adjust the prediction results. For example, the emotion estimation function is used to monitor the user's emotional response to future prediction information in real time. For example, information to which the user has a positive response is preferentially provided. The future prediction information analysis unit also dynamically adjusts the prediction results based on the user's emotional response. For example, if the user has a negative response, low-risk investment candidates are suggested. In this way, the user's emotional response to future prediction information can be monitored in real time and the prediction results can be dynamically adjusted.

[0077] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0078] Step 1: The needs gathering unit gathers the needs of individuals. For example, an individual can input a specific need such as "a company that has experienced fraud and whose stock price has plummeted, but whose stock price is expected to rise significantly in the future." Step 2: The Historical Information Analysis Department analyzes historical information based on the collected needs, such as past stock price trends, the history of fraudulent incidents, and the financial status of companies. Step 3: The future forecast information analysis unit analyzes future forecast information based on the information analyzed by the historical information analysis unit, for example, by analyzing investor reports and venture capital forecast data. Step 4: The information provider provides investment candidate stocks and risk information based on the information analyzed by the future forecast information analysis unit. For example, it provides specific information such as, "This company had a history of fraudulent activity, but has now improved, and its stock price is expected to rise in the future."

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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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).

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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."

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.
