[0028] (Example 1) The internal navigator AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that helps employees quickly obtain information. This system aggregates information such as internal company knowledge and application processes, and instantly guides employees on who to consult and what procedures they need to follow for specific issues or tasks. This allows the internal navigator AI system to help employees quickly obtain information, thereby improving work efficiency and convenience.
[0029] An internal navigator AI system according to an embodiment includes an information aggregation unit, an analysis unit, a guidance unit, and a flow integration unit. The information aggregation unit aggregates information within a company, for example, by centrally managing business data, employee feedback, project progress information, and the like. The analysis unit analyzes the aggregated information, for example, by using data mining, statistical analysis, and machine learning algorithms. The guidance unit guides the appropriate department or person in charge based on the analyzed information. For example, when an employee types "business trip application," the guidance unit provides contact information for the department and person in charge of the business trip application. The flow integration unit integrates and presents a procedural flow based on the analyzed information. For example, in the case of a business trip application, the flow integration unit presents steps such as filling out a business trip application form, obtaining approval from a supervisor, and submitting it to the accounting department as a single flow, clearly indicating the information and documents required at each step. This allows the internal navigator AI system to simplify internal information and processes and help employees quickly obtain information.
[0030] The analysis unit learns employees' past behavioral history and preferences, and can provide individually optimized information. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze employees' past behavioral history and learn preferences regarding specific tasks and projects. For example, an employee who has applied for many business trips in the past can be given priority in receiving information related to business trips. The analysis unit also provides individually optimized information based on the employee's preferences. For example, it can provide information related to specific projects or topics that the employee has shown interest in in the past. This makes it possible to provide optimal information based on the employee's past behavioral history and preferences.
[0031] The information aggregation unit can be equipped with an automatic update function that updates the aggregated information in real time and always provides the latest information. For example, the information aggregation unit uses a generation AI to collect information within a company in real time and always provides the latest information using the automatic update function. For example, when a new application process is added, that information is immediately reflected. The information aggregation unit also integrates the information into a database and collects data in real time to provide the latest information. This allows the latest information to always be provided.
[0032] The information aggregation unit can integrate and provide internal and external information, including external industry news and trend information. For example, the information aggregation unit uses a generation AI to collect external industry news and trend information, integrate it with internal information, and provide it. For example, it provides the latest technology trends and market trends along with internal project information. The information aggregation unit also uses RSS feeds and news APIs to collect external information in real time and integrate it with internal information. This allows internal and external information to be integrated and provided.
[0033] The guidance unit can provide more detailed information, including past response history and evaluations, in addition to the information about the department and person providing the guidance. For example, the guidance unit includes past response history in the information about the department and person providing the guidance using the generation AI. For example, it displays what kind of responses have been made in the past. The guidance unit also provides information including evaluations of the person in charge. For example, it displays evaluations such as customer satisfaction, response speed, and resolution rate. This makes it possible to provide detailed information, including past response history and evaluations.
[0034] When providing guidance, the guidance unit takes into account the schedules of the department and person in charge and can recommend the optimal timing for contact. For example, when the generation AI provides guidance, the guidance unit takes into account the schedules of the department and person in charge. For example, it can recommend a time when the person in charge is not in a meeting. The guidance unit also takes into account peak business hours and the person in charge's free time to recommend the optimal timing for contact. This makes it possible to recommend the optimal timing for contact.
[0035] The flow integration unit displays the required time and difficulty of each step in the procedure flow, making it easier for employees to plan procedures. For example, the flow integration unit displays the required time for each step in the procedure flow presented by the generation AI. For example, it displays the time it takes to fill out a business trip application form. The flow integration unit also displays the difficulty of each step. For example, it displays the complexity of the work and the skill level required. This makes it easier to plan procedures.
[0036] The flow integration unit can add recommended actions based on past procedural history to make procedures more efficient. For example, the flow integration unit uses a generative AI to analyze past procedural history and present recommended actions. For example, it refers to the steps of procedures that have been successful in the past. The flow integration unit also presents optimal procedures and recommended tools. For example, it suggests actions based on past success stories. This helps to make procedures more efficient.
[0037] The flow integration unit can provide reference information, including success stories and best practices from other employees. For example, the generation AI in the flow integration unit collects success stories from other employees and includes them in the procedure flow. For example, it presents specific examples of procedures that have been successful in the past. The flow integration unit also provides information including best practices. For example, it presents industry standards and optimal procedures. This allows success stories and best practices to be used as reference.
[0038] The flow integrator can provide the procedure flow via a mobile app or wearable device, allowing procedures to be carried out anytime, anywhere. For example, the flow integrator can provide the procedure flow presented by the generation AI via a mobile app, allowing employees to proceed with the procedure anytime, anywhere. For example, the procedure steps can be checked on a smartphone. The flow integrator can also provide the procedure flow via a wearable device. For example, the progress of the procedure can be checked on a smartwatch. This allows procedures to be carried out anytime, anywhere.
[0039] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0040] The internal navigator AI system also includes a voice recognition unit, which allows employees to input information by voice, making it easy to obtain information. For example, if an employee says, "Please tell me how to apply for a business trip," the voice recognition unit analyzes the content and provides appropriate information. The voice recognition unit can also proceed with procedures using voice commands. For example, it can recognize commands such as "proceed to the next step" and advance the procedural flow. This allows employees to obtain information and proceed with procedures without using their hands.
[0041] The analysis unit can monitor employees' health status and provide health-related information. For example, it can analyze an employee's step count and heart rate to understand their health condition. The analysis unit can also provide appropriate health information and advice based on the employee's health status. For example, for employees who are not getting enough exercise, it can explain the importance of exercise and provide simple exercise methods. It can also provide advice on relaxation methods and stress management for employees who are under a lot of stress. This can support the health of employees.
[0042] The information aggregation department can link with internal communication tools to promote information sharing among employees. For example, it can link with chat tools and email systems to automatically share important information. The information aggregation department can also link with project management tools to share project progress in real time. This allows for smooth information sharing among employees and improves work efficiency.
[0043] The information aggregation unit can provide information about entertainment and events within the company. For example, it can aggregate information about in-house movie screenings and sporting events and provide it to employees. The information aggregation unit can also provide entertainment information that is individually optimized based on the hobbies and interests of employees. For example, an employee who loves movies can be provided with the latest movie information and screening schedules. This helps employees to refresh themselves and promotes communication within the company.
[0044] The information department can guide employees to the most suitable departments and personnel based on their skills and experience. For example, an employee with a specific skill set can be guided to departments and projects where they can utilize those skills. The information department can also guide employees to the appropriate departments and personnel based on their career path. For example, an employee aiming to advance their career can be guided to departments and projects that offer growth opportunities. This allows employees to make the most of their skills and experience.
[0045] The Flow Integration Unit can add visual elements to the procedure flow to make it easier to understand visually. For example, each step can be displayed with an icon or diagram, making the procedure flow easier to understand visually. The Flow Integration Unit can also display the progress of the procedure in graphs and charts. This makes it easier for employees to grasp the progress of the procedure at a glance.
[0046] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0047] Step 1: The Information Aggregation Department aggregates information within the company, such as business data, employee feedback, and project progress information, and manages it in a unified manner. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the aggregated information, for example, using data mining, statistical analysis, or machine learning algorithms. Step 3: The information section guides the employee to the appropriate department or person in charge based on the analyzed information. For example, if an employee enters "business trip application," the information section provides the contact information of the department and person in charge of business trip applications. Step 4: The flow integration unit integrates and presents a procedural flow based on the analyzed information. For example, in the case of a business trip application, the steps of filling out the application form, getting approval from a superior, and submitting it to the accounting department are presented as a single flow, clearly indicating the information and documents required at each step.

The Flow Integration Unit can also display the progress of the procedure in graphs and charts. This makes it easier for employees to grasp the progress of the procedure at a glance.
[0073] The flow integration unit can use its emotion estimation function to provide emotional support according to the progress of a procedure. For example, if a procedure is progressing smoothly, it can provide encouraging messages and advice on the next step. If the procedure is stalled, it can provide solutions and support information. This allows support to be provided according to the employee's emotions, improving the efficiency of procedures.
[0074] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0075] Step 1: The Information Aggregation Department aggregates information within the company, such as business data, employee feedback, and project progress information, and manages it in a unified manner. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the aggregated information, for example, using data mining, statistical analysis, or machine learning algorithms. Step 3: The information section guides the employee to the appropriate department or person in charge based on the analyzed information. For example, if an employee enters "business trip application," the information section provides the contact information of the department and person in charge of business trip applications. Step 4: The flow integration unit integrates and presents a procedural flow based on the analyzed information. For example, in the case of a business trip application, the steps of filling out the application form, getting approval from a superior, and submitting it to the accounting department are presented as a single flow, clearly indicating the information and documents required at each step.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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).
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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."
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
