[0028] (Example 1) An AI service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes customer feedback and complaints and automatically distinguishes between constructive and malicious comments. The system uses language analysis technology to evaluate the tone, wording, and content of customer messages to detect malicious or false claims. Furthermore, the system quickly forwards legitimate feedback to a response team, automatically generates appropriate responses for fraudulent feedback, and, in some cases, suggests options for further action. This enables the AI ​​service to efficiently process customer feedback and complaints and improve a company's response capabilities.

[0029] An AI service according to an embodiment includes a message evaluation unit, a complaint detection unit, a feedback transfer unit, an automatic response generation unit, and a countermeasure proposal unit. The message evaluation unit evaluates customer messages. For example, the message evaluation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the tone, wording, and content of customer messages and check for offensive language or inappropriate expressions. The complaint detection unit detects malicious complaints or false statements from the messages evaluated by the message evaluation unit. For example, the complaint detection unit compares the messages with past data and determines that if the same customer repeatedly makes similar complaints, the complaint is likely to be false. The feedback transfer unit transfers legitimate feedback detected by the complaint detection unit to a support team. For example, the feedback transfer unit transfers constructive feedback such as, "This product is difficult to use, so please improve the manual." The automatic response generation unit generates an automatic response to fraudulent complaints detected by the complaint detection unit. For example, the automatic response generation unit generates a response such as, "This complaint has been received in the past with similar content and has already been handled." The countermeasure suggestion unit proposes further countermeasures for fraudulent claims detected by the claim detection unit. For example, if a customer repeatedly submits false claims, the countermeasure suggestion unit proposes adding the customer to a blacklist. This enables the AI ​​service according to the embodiment to efficiently process customer feedback and complaints and improve a company's responsiveness. For example, the AI ​​service can improve customer satisfaction by quickly responding to legitimate feedback, and prevent the company from wasting resources by taking appropriate countermeasures for fraudulent claims.

[0030] The message evaluation unit analyzes the cultural elements or region-specific expressions behind the message, enabling highly accurate evaluation. The message evaluation unit, for example, analyzes the cultural elements behind the message. For example, it understands expressions and phrases that are unique to a particular region or culture, and evaluates the message based on those expressions. This improves the accuracy of message evaluation by taking cultural elements and region-specific expressions into consideration.

[0031] The complaint detection unit can detect false claims with a high degree of accuracy by comparing it with complaint data and performing pattern recognition. The complaint detection unit, for example, uses generative AI to compare it with past complaint data and perform pattern recognition. For example, if the same customer repeatedly makes the same complaint, the likelihood that the complaint is false increases. This allows it to compare it with past complaint data and detect false claims with a high degree of accuracy.

[0032] The complaint detection unit analyzes not only the content of the complaint but also the time period and frequency of the complaints, making it possible to detect abnormal patterns. The complaint detection unit, for example, analyzes not only the content of the complaint but also the time period and frequency of the complaints. For example, it determines whether complaints that are submitted in large numbers during a specific time period are abnormal. In this way, by analyzing not only the content of the complaint but also the time period and frequency of the complaints, it is possible to detect abnormal patterns.

[0033] The feedback forwarding unit can use the generation AI to analyze the content of the feedback in detail, extract specific improvements, and forward them to the response team. The feedback forwarding unit can use the generation AI to analyze the content of the feedback in detail, extract specific improvements from customer feedback, and forward them to the response team.

[0034] The feedback forwarding unit can evaluate the importance of feedback and prioritize the feedback before forwarding. The feedback forwarding unit, for example, evaluates the importance of feedback and prioritizes the feedback before forwarding. For example, the feedback forwarding unit analyzes customer feedback and prioritizes the feedback with high importance before forwarding it to the support team. This allows the importance of feedback to be evaluated and prioritized before forwarding.

[0035] The automatic response generation unit can learn from past response data and generate appropriate and effective automatic responses. The automatic response generation unit can learn from past response data and generate more appropriate and effective automatic responses, for example, using a generation AI. For example, it can generate new responses based on successful response patterns in the past. This allows it to learn from past response data and generate more appropriate and effective automatic responses.

[0036] The automatic response generation unit can customize the tone and wording of the response according to the content of the complaint, and respond appropriately. The automatic response generation unit customizes the tone and wording of the response according to the content of the complaint. For example, it generates a calm and polite response for an aggressive complaint. This allows the tone and wording of the response to be customized according to the content of the complaint, making it possible to respond more appropriately.

[0037] The countermeasure proposal unit can use the generation AI to learn from past countermeasure data and propose optimal countermeasures. The countermeasure proposal unit can, for example, use the generation AI to learn from past countermeasure data and propose optimal countermeasures. For example, it can propose new countermeasures based on countermeasures that have been successful in the past. This makes it possible to learn from past countermeasure data and propose optimal countermeasures.

[0038] The countermeasure proposal unit can set the priority of countermeasures according to the content and frequency of complaints and propose effective countermeasures. The countermeasure proposal unit sets the priority of countermeasures according to, for example, the content and frequency of complaints. For example, countermeasures are proposed preferentially for serious complaints or complaints that occur frequently. This makes it possible to set the priority of countermeasures according to the content and frequency of complaints and propose effective countermeasures.

[0039] The Countermeasure Proposal Department can incorporate best practices from other companies and industries to propose effective countermeasures. The Countermeasure Proposal Department, for example, incorporates best practices from other companies and industries when proposing countermeasures. For example, it can propose effective countermeasures based on success stories from other companies in the same industry. This allows it to incorporate best practices from other companies and industries to propose effective countermeasures.

[0040] The countermeasure proposal unit can predict future risks and propose preventive measures using data analysis and a prediction model. The countermeasure proposal unit, for example, uses data analysis and a prediction model to propose countermeasures. For example, it predicts future risks based on past data and proposes preventive measures. In this way, it is possible to predict future risks and propose preventive measures using data analysis and a prediction model.

[0041] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0042] AI services can not only analyze customer feedback and complaints, but also analyze customers' purchasing history and behavioral patterns to predict potential problems. For example, if a customer who frequently purchases a particular product suddenly stops purchasing, the reason can be analyzed and appropriate measures can be proposed. It is also possible to predict future complaints based on the content of feedback and complaints submitted by customers in the past and take measures in advance. Furthermore, by analyzing customer behavioral patterns, it is possible to understand the circumstances in which customers tend to file complaints and propose preventative measures.

[0043] When analyzing customer feedback and complaints, AI services can analyze the cultural elements and regional expressions behind the messages to provide highly accurate evaluations. For example, they can understand expressions and phrases unique to specific regions and cultures and evaluate messages accordingly. They can also analyze feedback from customers of different cultural backgrounds, taking cultural differences into account. Furthermore, they can identify regional issues and needs and propose appropriate responses.

[0044] AI services can not only analyze customer feedback and complaints, but also analyze customers' purchasing history and behavioral patterns to predict potential problems. For example, if a customer who frequently purchases a particular product suddenly stops purchasing, the reason can be analyzed and appropriate measures can be proposed. It is also possible to predict future complaints based on the content of feedback and complaints submitted by customers in the past and take measures in advance. Furthermore, by analyzing customer behavioral patterns, it is possible to understand the circumstances in which customers tend to file complaints and propose preventative measures.

[0045] AI services can not only analyze customer feedback and complaints, but also analyze customers' purchasing history and behavioral patterns to predict potential problems. For example, if a customer who frequently purchases a particular product suddenly stops purchasing, the reason can be analyzed and appropriate measures can be proposed. It is also possible to predict future complaints based on the content of feedback and complaints submitted by customers in the past and take measures in advance. Furthermore, by analyzing customer behavioral patterns, it is possible to understand the circumstances in which customers tend to file complaints and propose preventative measures.

[0046] AI services can not only analyze customer feedback and complaints, but also analyze customers' purchasing history and behavioral patterns to predict potential problems. For example, if a customer who frequently purchases a particular product suddenly stops purchasing, the reason can be analyzed and appropriate measures can be proposed. It is also possible to predict future complaints based on the content of feedback and complaints submitted by customers in the past and take measures in advance. Furthermore, by analyzing customer behavioral patterns, it is possible to understand the circumstances in which customers tend to file complaints and propose preventative measures.

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

[0048] Step 1: The message evaluation unit evaluates the customer's message. For example, using generative AI, it analyzes the tone, wording, and content of the customer's message to check for any offensive or inappropriate language. Step 2: The complaint detection unit detects malicious complaints and false declarations from the messages evaluated by the message evaluation unit. For example, by comparing the results with past data, if the same customer repeatedly makes the same complaint, it determines that the complaint is likely to be false. Step 3: The feedback forwarding unit forwards the legitimate feedback detected by the complaint detection unit to the support team. For example, constructive feedback such as "It's difficult to understand how to use this product, so please improve the manual" is forwarded to the support team. Step 4: The automatic response generator generates an automatic response to the fraudulent complaint detected by the complaint detector. For example, it generates a response such as, "This complaint has been received in the past with similar content and has already been handled." Step 5: The countermeasure suggestion unit suggests further countermeasures for fraudulent claims detected by the claim detection unit. For example, if a customer repeatedly submits false claims, it suggests adding the customer to a blacklist.

[0049] (Example 2) An AI service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes customer feedback and complaints and automatically distinguishes between constructive and malicious comments. The system uses language analysis technology to evaluate the tone, wording, and content of customer messages to detect malicious or false claims. Furthermore, the system quickly forwards legitimate feedback to a response team, automatically generates appropriate responses for fraudulent feedback, and, in some cases, suggests options for further action. This enables the AI ​​service to efficiently process customer feedback and complaints and improve a company's response capabilities.

Also, if a customer is dissatisfied, it can make specific suggestions to resolve their dissatisfaction. Furthermore, if a customer provides positive feedback, it can use that feedback to identify areas for further improvement and increase customer satisfaction.

[0071] When analyzing customer feedback and complaints, AI services can analyze the cultural elements and regional expressions behind the messages to provide highly accurate evaluations. For example, they can understand expressions and phrases unique to specific regions and cultures and evaluate messages accordingly. They can also analyze feedback from customers of different cultural backgrounds, taking cultural differences into account. Furthermore, they can identify regional issues and needs and propose appropriate responses.

[0072] When analyzing customer feedback and complaints, the AI ​​service can use its emotion estimation function to estimate customer emotions in real time and respond appropriately based on those emotions. For example, if a customer is very angry, it can generate a response that includes a quick response and an apology. Also, if a customer is dissatisfied, it can make specific suggestions to resolve their dissatisfaction. Furthermore, if a customer provides positive feedback, it can use that feedback to identify areas for further improvement and increase customer satisfaction.

[0073] AI services can not only analyze customer feedback and complaints, but also analyze customers' purchasing history and behavioral patterns to predict potential problems. For example, if a customer who frequently purchases a particular product suddenly stops purchasing, the reason can be analyzed and appropriate measures can be proposed. It is also possible to predict future complaints based on the content of feedback and complaints submitted by customers in the past and take measures in advance. Furthermore, by analyzing customer behavioral patterns, it is possible to understand the circumstances in which customers tend to file complaints and propose preventative measures.

[0079] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0080] Step 1: The message evaluation unit evaluates the customer's message. For example, using generative AI, it analyzes the tone, wording, and content of the customer's message to check for any offensive or inappropriate language. Step 2: The complaint detection unit detects malicious complaints and false declarations from the messages evaluated by the message evaluation unit. For example, by comparing the results with past data, if the same customer repeatedly makes the same complaint, it determines that the complaint is likely to be false. Step 3: The feedback forwarding unit forwards the legitimate feedback detected by the complaint detection unit to the support team. For example, constructive feedback such as "It's difficult to understand how to use this product, so please improve the manual" is forwarded to the support team. Step 4: The automatic response generator generates an automatic response to the fraudulent complaint detected by the complaint detector. For example, it generates a response such as, "This complaint has been received in the past with similar content and has already been handled." Step 5: The countermeasure suggestion unit suggests further countermeasures for fraudulent claims detected by the claim detection unit. For example, if a customer repeatedly submits false claims, it suggests adding the customer to a blacklist.

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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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).

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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."

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.
