Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A schedule creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically creates schedules for tasks that do not have schedules set, reducing communication costs. This allows the schedule creation system to improve the efficiency of task management and significantly reduce communication costs between the parties involved.

[0029] A schedule creation system according to an embodiment includes a task analysis unit, a resource analysis unit, a schedule generation unit, and a notification unit. The task analysis unit analyzes the content and priority of a task. For example, the generation AI analyzes the content and priority of a task input by a user. For example, when a task such as "Create materials for next week's meeting" is input, the generation AI analyzes the importance and deadline of the task and compares its priority with other tasks. The resource analysis unit analyzes resource usage. For example, the generation AI refers to the user's calendar and past work history to determine which resources are available at what time periods. The generation AI analyzes the usage of the user's resources (time, skills, tools, etc.). The schedule generation unit generates an optimal schedule based on the information analyzed by the task analysis unit and the resource analysis unit. For example, the generation AI generates an optimal schedule based on the analyzed task content, priority, and resource usage. The generation AI proposes a specific schedule, such as "Create materials for the meeting next Monday morning and review them on Tuesday afternoon." The notification unit notifies the user of the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit. For example, the generation AI notifies the user of the generated schedule and shares it with relevant parties. For example, the generation AI sends a notification to the user such as "I plan to create meeting materials next Monday morning," and also sends a similar notification to relevant parties. In this way, the schedule creation system according to the embodiment can automatically create schedules for tasks that do not have a schedule set, thereby reducing communication costs.

[0030] When analyzing the content of a task, the task analysis unit refers to the success and failure rates of past similar tasks and dynamically adjusts the priority. For example, the generation AI analyzes data on past similar tasks and sets priorities based on the success and failure rates. For example, it schedules tasks with a high success rate first. For example, the generation AI refers to data on past projects or similar tasks and calculates the success and failure rates. This makes it possible to dynamically adjust task priorities based on past data.

[0031] When analyzing the contents of tasks, the task analysis unit automatically detects task dependencies and sets priorities based on those dependencies. For example, the task analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze task dependencies and prioritize scheduling of tasks with strong dependencies. For example, it prioritizes tasks that cannot proceed until prerequisite tasks are completed. For example, the generation AI analyzes the order and dependency between tasks to detect dependencies. This allows priorities to be set based on task dependencies.

[0032] When analyzing resource usage, the resource analysis unit refers to past performance data and selects the optimal resource. For example, the generation AI analyzes the past performance data of resources and selects the optimal resource. For example, it prioritizes resources with a high past success rate. For example, the generation AI analyzes the work speed and quality evaluation of resources and calculates performance data. This makes it possible to select the optimal resource based on past performance data.

[0033] When generating a schedule, the schedule generation unit refers to the success and failure rates of past schedules and dynamically adjusts the optimal schedule. For example, the generation AI analyzes past schedule data and generates an optimal schedule based on the success and failure rates. For example, important tasks are assigned to time periods with a high success rate. For example, the generation AI analyzes the completion rate and achievement level of past schedules and calculates the success and failure rates. This makes it possible to dynamically adjust the optimal schedule based on past data.

[0034] When generating a schedule, the schedule generation unit automatically detects task dependencies and sets the schedule based on those dependencies. For example, the schedule generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze task dependencies and prioritize scheduling of tasks with strong dependencies. For example, it prioritizes tasks that cannot proceed until prerequisite tasks are completed. For example, the generation AI analyzes the order and dependency between tasks to detect dependencies. This allows it to set a schedule based on task dependencies.

[0035] When notifying and sharing schedules, the notification unit customizes the content of the notification based on the user's past reaction data. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's past reaction data and customizes the content of the notification. For example, the notification is sent in a format preferred by the user. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's click rate and feedback and calculates reaction data. This makes it possible to customize the content of the notification based on the user's past reaction data.

[0036] When notifying a schedule, the notification unit automatically sets the priority of notifications and prioritizes sending important notifications. For example, the generation AI automatically sets the priority of notifications and prioritizes sending important notifications. For example, it sends notifications of important tasks with the highest priority. For example, the generation AI analyzes the urgency and importance of notifications and sets the priority of notifications. This allows the priority of notifications to be automatically set and important notifications to be sent with priority.

[0037] When adjusting the schedule, the schedule generation unit automatically detects task dependencies and reconfigures the schedule based on those dependencies. For example, the schedule generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze task dependencies and prioritize scheduling of tasks with strong dependencies. For example, it prioritizes tasks that cannot proceed until prerequisite tasks are completed. For example, the generation AI analyzes the order and dependency between tasks to detect dependencies. This allows the schedule to be reconfigured based on task dependencies.

[0038] When adjusting and updating the schedule, the schedule generation unit incorporates schedule management methods from different industries and fields to diversify the schedule adjustment methods. For example, the schedule generation unit incorporates schedule management methods from different industries to diversify the schedule adjustment methods. For example, it incorporates manufacturing industry methods to adjust the schedule. The generation AI references schedule management methods such as agile and waterfall to select the optimal adjustment method. In this way, by incorporating schedule management methods from different industries and fields, it is possible to diversify the schedule adjustment methods.

[0039] When adjusting and updating the schedule, the schedule generation unit incorporates schedule management methods from different industries and fields to diversify the schedule adjustment methods. For example, the schedule generation unit incorporates schedule management methods from different industries to diversify the schedule adjustment methods. For example, it incorporates manufacturing industry methods to adjust the schedule. The generation AI references schedule management methods such as agile and waterfall to select the optimal adjustment method. In this way, by incorporating schedule management methods from different industries and fields, it is possible to diversify the schedule adjustment methods.

[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 schedule creation system can also include a progress monitoring unit that monitors the progress of tasks in real time. The progress monitoring unit, for example, monitors the progress of a task in real time as the user works on it, and checks whether the task is progressing as planned. If the progress is behind schedule, the notification unit can send a reminder to the user, and the schedule generation unit can readjust the schedule as necessary. This allows the user to always be aware of the progress of the task and prevent delays.

[0042] The schedule creation system may further include a health management unit that collects the user's health data and adjusts the schedule based on the user's health condition. The health management unit may, for example, analyze the user's sleep data and exercise data and assign important tasks to times when the user's health condition is good. For example, an important meeting may be scheduled for the day after the user has had a sufficient amount of sleep. This allows the system to generate an optimal schedule based on the user's health condition.

[0043] The schedule creation system may further include a hobby analysis unit that adjusts the schedule taking into account the user's hobbies and interests. The hobby analysis unit, for example, analyzes the amount of time the user spends on hobbies and adjusts the schedule to ensure time for hobbies. For example, the hobby analysis unit may concentrate tasks on weekdays to ensure the user has time to enjoy sports on the weekends. This can improve the user's quality of life.

[0044] The schedule creation system may further include a social analysis unit that adjusts the schedule taking into account the user's social activities. The social analysis unit, for example, analyzes the frequency and importance of the user's social activities and prioritizes incorporating social activities into the schedule. For example, the social analysis unit may reflect community events that the user regularly participates in in the schedule. This supports the user's social activities and provides a balanced schedule.

[0045] The schedule creation system may further include a learning analysis unit that adjusts the schedule taking into account the user's learning activities. The learning analysis unit, for example, analyzes the amount of time the user spends studying and their learning progress, and adjusts the schedule to ensure time for studying. For example, the learning analysis unit adjusts other tasks to ensure the user has time to study for a qualification exam. This supports the user's learning activities and provides an efficient schedule.

[0046] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0047] Step 1: The task analysis unit analyzes the content and priority of the task. For example, if the task input by the user is "Create materials for next week's meeting," the generation AI analyzes the importance and deadline of that task and compares its priority with other tasks. Step 2: The resource analysis unit analyzes resource usage. For example, the generation AI refers to the user's calendar and past work history to determine which resources are available at what time. The generation AI analyzes the user's resource usage (time, skills, tools, etc.). Step 3: The schedule generation unit generates an optimal schedule based on the information analyzed by the task analysis unit and resource analysis unit. For example, the generation AI generates an optimal schedule based on the analyzed task content, priority, and resource usage status, and proposes a specific schedule such as "Prepare meeting materials next Monday morning and review them on Tuesday afternoon." Step 4: The notification unit notifies the user of the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit. For example, the generation AI notifies the user of the generated schedule and shares it with relevant parties. It sends a notification to the user such as "We plan to create meeting materials next Monday morning," and also sends a similar notification to relevant parties.

[0048] (Example 2) A schedule creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically creates schedules for tasks that do not have schedules set, reducing communication costs. This allows the schedule creation system to improve the efficiency of task management and significantly reduce communication costs between the parties involved.

[0049] A schedule creation system according to an embodiment includes a task analysis unit, a resource analysis unit, a schedule generation unit, and a notification unit. The task analysis unit analyzes the content and priority of a task. For example, the generation AI analyzes the content and priority of a task input by a user. For example, when a task such as "Create materials for next week's meeting" is input, the generation AI analyzes the importance and deadline of the task and compares its priority with other tasks. The resource analysis unit analyzes resource usage. For example, the generation AI refers to the user's calendar and past work history to determine which resources are available at what time periods. The generation AI analyzes the usage of the user's resources (time, skills, tools, etc.). The schedule generation unit generates an optimal schedule based on the information analyzed by the task analysis unit and the resource analysis unit. For example, the generation AI generates an optimal schedule based on the analyzed task content, priority, and resource usage. The generation AI proposes a specific schedule, such as "Create materials for the meeting next Monday morning and review them on Tuesday afternoon." The notification unit notifies the user of the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit. For example, the generation AI notifies the user of the generated schedule and shares it with relevant parties. For example, the generation AI sends a notification to the user such as "I plan to create meeting materials next Monday morning," and also sends a similar notification to relevant parties. In this way, the schedule creation system according to the embodiment can automatically create schedules for tasks that do not have a schedule set, thereby reducing communication costs.

[0050] The task analysis unit collects user emotional data when analyzing the content of a task and quantifies the emotional importance. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a task, the task analysis unit collects user emotional data and quantifies the emotional importance. For example, it lowers the priority of a task that causes stress to the user. The generation AI collects emotional data using, for example, facial expression recognition or voice analysis of the user and calculates an emotional score. This makes it possible to adjust the priority of a task based on the user's emotions.

[0051] When analyzing the content of a task, the task analysis unit refers to the success and failure rates of past similar tasks and dynamically adjusts the priority. For example, the generation AI analyzes data on past similar tasks and sets priorities based on the success and failure rates. For example, it schedules tasks with a high success rate first. For example, the generation AI refers to data on past projects or similar tasks and calculates the success and failure rates. This makes it possible to dynamically adjust task priorities based on past data.

[0052] When analyzing the contents of tasks, the task analysis unit automatically detects task dependencies and sets priorities based on those dependencies. For example, the task analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze task dependencies and prioritize scheduling of tasks with strong dependencies. For example, it prioritizes tasks that cannot proceed until prerequisite tasks are completed. For example, the generation AI analyzes the order and dependency between tasks to detect dependencies. This allows priorities to be set based on task dependencies.

[0053] When analyzing resource usage, the resource analysis unit takes into account the emotional load of the resource and prioritizes allocating resources with less load. For example, the resource analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the emotional load of resources and prioritizes allocating resources with less load. For example, it selects time periods with less stress. For example, the generation AI analyzes the stress level and fatigue level of resources and calculates the emotional load. This allows resources with less emotional load to be prioritized for allocation.

[0054] When analyzing resource usage, the resource analysis unit refers to past performance data and selects the optimal resource. For example, the generation AI analyzes the past performance data of resources and selects the optimal resource. For example, it prioritizes resources with a high past success rate. For example, the generation AI analyzes the work speed and quality evaluation of resources and calculates performance data. This makes it possible to select the optimal resource based on past performance data.

[0055] When generating a schedule, the schedule generation unit references the user's emotional data and generates an emotionally positive schedule. For example, the schedule generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's emotional data and generate a schedule with a strong positive emotional impact. For example, important tasks are assigned to times when the user is relaxed. The generation AI generates a schedule based on the user's emotional score, for example. This makes it possible to generate a positive schedule based on the user's emotions.

[0056] When generating a schedule, the schedule generation unit refers to the success and failure rates of past schedules and dynamically adjusts the optimal schedule. For example, the generation AI analyzes past schedule data and generates an optimal schedule based on the success and failure rates. For example, important tasks are assigned to time periods with a high success rate.

This allows it to set a schedule based on task dependencies.

[0058] When notifying the user of the schedule, the notification unit refers to the user's emotional data and notifies the user at a timing that is emotionally positive. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's emotional data and notifies the user of the schedule at a timing when positive emotions are strongest. For example, the notification unit sends notifications when the user is relaxed. For example, the generation AI sets the timing of notifications based on the user's emotional score. This allows the schedule to be notified at a positive timing based on the user's emotions.

[0059] When notifying and sharing schedules, the notification unit customizes the content of the notification based on the user's past reaction data.

[0070] The schedule creation system may further include a hobby analysis unit that adjusts the schedule taking into account the user's hobbies and interests. The hobby analysis unit, for example, analyzes the amount of time the user spends on hobbies and adjusts the schedule to ensure time for hobbies. For example, the hobby analysis unit may concentrate tasks on weekdays to ensure the user has time to enjoy sports on the weekends. This can improve the user's quality of life.

[0071] The schedule creation system may further include a social analysis unit that adjusts the schedule taking into account the user's social activities. The social analysis unit, for example, analyzes the frequency and importance of the user's social activities and prioritizes incorporating social activities into the schedule. For example, the social analysis unit may reflect community events that the user regularly participates in in the schedule. This supports the user's social activities and provides a balanced schedule.

[0072] The schedule creation system may further include a learning analysis unit that adjusts the schedule taking into account the user's learning activities. The learning analysis unit, for example, analyzes the amount of time the user spends studying and their learning progress, and adjusts the schedule to ensure time for studying. For example, the learning analysis unit adjusts other tasks to ensure the user has time to study for a qualification exam. This supports the user's learning activities and provides an efficient schedule.

[0073] The schedule creation system may further include an emotion priority adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotion and dynamically adjusts task priorities based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the emotion priority adjustment unit estimates the emotion and lowers task priorities to reduce stress. For example, when the user is tired, tasks with lower importance are assigned preferentially. This allows dynamic adjustment of task priorities based on the user's emotion.

[0074] The schedule creation system may further include an emotion notification customization unit that estimates the user's emotion and customizes the content of notifications based on the estimated emotion. For example, when the user is relaxed, the emotion notification customization unit estimates the user's emotion and changes the notification content to be more easily received when the user is relaxed. For example, when the user is relaxed, the notification is sent in a softer tone. This allows the content of notifications to be customized based on the user's emotion.

[0075] The schedule creation system may further include an emotion schedule adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotion and adjusts the schedule based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user has a positive emotion, the emotion schedule adjustment unit estimates the emotion and adjusts the schedule to maintain the positive emotion. For example, important tasks are assigned to times when the user is relaxed. This makes it possible to adjust the schedule based on the user's emotion.

[0076] The schedule creation system may further include an emotion resource allocation unit that estimates the user's emotion and allocates resources based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the emotion resource allocation unit estimates the emotion and adjusts resource allocation to reduce the stress. For example, when the user is tired, resources with a lower load are preferentially allocated. This allows resource allocation based on the user's emotion.

[0077] The schedule creation system may further include an emotion progress monitoring unit that estimates the user's emotion and monitors the task progress based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user has a positive emotion, the emotion progress monitoring unit estimates the emotion and monitors the task progress to maintain the positive emotion. For example, if the progress is delayed during a time when the user is relaxing, the emotion progress monitoring unit sends a reminder. This makes it possible to monitor the task progress based on the user's emotion.

[0078] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0079] Step 1: The task analysis unit analyzes the content and priority of the task. For example, if the task input by the user is "Create materials for next week's meeting," the generation AI analyzes the importance and deadline of that task and compares its priority with other tasks. Step 2: The resource analysis unit analyzes resource usage. For example, the generation AI refers to the user's calendar and past work history to determine which resources are available at what time. The generation AI analyzes the user's resource usage (time, skills, tools, etc.). Step 3: The schedule generation unit generates an optimal schedule based on the information analyzed by the task analysis unit and resource analysis unit. For example, the generation AI generates an optimal schedule based on the analyzed task content, priority, and resource usage status, and proposes a specific schedule such as "Prepare meeting materials next Monday morning and review them on Tuesday afternoon." Step 4: The notification unit notifies the user of the schedule generated by the schedule generation unit. For example, the generation AI notifies the user of the generated schedule and shares it with relevant parties. It sends a notification to the user such as "We plan to create meeting materials next Monday morning," and also sends a similar notification to relevant parties.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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).

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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."

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.
