[0068] The solution generation unit can combine knowledge from different fields to create new solutions. For example, the generation AI combines knowledge from different fields to create new solutions. For example, it combines knowledge from the medical and IT fields to propose new medical technologies. This makes it possible to provide new solutions by combining knowledge from different fields.

[0069] The solution generation unit can improve and continuously optimize solutions based on user feedback. For example, the generation AI improves and continuously optimizes solutions based on user feedback. For example, it improves marketing strategies by reflecting user opinions. This makes it possible to provide continuously optimized solutions by improving solutions based on user feedback.

[0070] The solution generation unit can use the emotion estimation function to monitor the user's emotional reaction to the generated solution in real time and provide an optimal solution. The solution generation unit can, for example, use the emotion estimation function to monitor the user's emotional reaction to the generated solution in real time and provide an optimal solution. For example, solutions with a high user emotion score are preferentially proposed. In this way, by monitoring the user's emotional reaction in real time, an optimal solution can be provided.

[0071] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0072] The problem input unit can automatically search for related past success stories based on the user's input and present them to the user. For example, if the user inputs "I want to think of a new marketing strategy," the unit searches a database for past successful cases for similar problems and presents them to the user. This allows the user to find more effective solutions by referring to past success stories. The problem input unit can also learn from problems and solutions previously input by the user and automatically suggest solutions for similar problems. For example, if the user previously inputs "a method for promoting a new product," a new proposal can be made based on that solution. Furthermore, the problem input unit can analyze the user's input and provide related trends and the latest information. For example, when the user inputs "a new marketing strategy," the unit can present the latest marketing trends, allowing the user to consider solutions based on the latest information.

[0073] When collecting data from different cultures and environments, the perspective collection unit can provide customized information based on the user's interests. For example, if a user is interested in a particular region or culture, information related to that region or culture is preferentially collected and provided to the user. This allows the user to obtain information based on their own interests. The perspective collection unit can also predict and provide information that the user is likely to be interested in based on the user's past search history and behavioral history. For example, if a user previously searched for "marketing strategies in Asia," the latest information related to Asia can be provided. Furthermore, the perspective collection unit can collect opinions from experts and influencers in different fields and provide them to the user. For example, by collecting opinions from marketing experts and influencers and providing them to the user, solutions can be considered from a more multifaceted perspective.

[0074] The solution generation unit can simulate different scenarios based on user input and select the optimal solution. For example, if the user inputs a "new marketing strategy," the unit can simulate multiple marketing strategies and propose the most effective one. This allows the user to compare different scenarios and select the optimal solution. The solution generation unit can also improve and continuously optimize solutions based on user feedback. For example, if the user provides feedback on a proposed solution, the solution can be improved based on that feedback and reflected in the next proposal. Furthermore, the solution generation unit can combine knowledge from different fields to create new solutions. For example, it can combine knowledge from the medical and IT fields to propose new medical technologies. This makes it possible to provide new solutions by combining knowledge from different fields.

[0075] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and provide feedback based on the emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions toward a proposed solution, the solution can be emphasized and presented. This allows the user to prioritize solutions that the user feels positive about. The suggestion unit can also customize the way in which the solution is presented based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a presentation method that helps the user relax can be adopted. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can monitor the user's emotions in real time and provide support according to the emotions. For example, if the user is confused, additional explanations or support can be provided to make it easier for the user to understand the solution.

[0076] The problem input unit can provide related trends and the latest information based on the user's input. For example, when a user inputs "a new marketing strategy," the latest marketing trends can be presented, allowing the user to consider solutions based on the latest information. This allows the user to always have the latest information and find more effective solutions. The problem input unit can also predict and provide information that the user is likely to be interested in based on the user's past search history and behavioral history. For example, if a user previously searched for "marketing strategy in Asia," the latest information related to Asia can be provided. Furthermore, the problem input unit can analyze the user's input and automatically generate related questions. For example, in response to the input "I want to consider a new marketing strategy," questions such as "What is the target market?" can be generated to dig deeper into the details of the problem.

[0077] The viewpoint collection unit can use the emotion estimation function to evaluate the emotional value of the collected information and prioritize analysis of positive information. For example, by prioritizing analysis of marketing strategies with a high positive emotion score, it is possible to provide information that is useful to the user. In this way, by evaluating the emotional value, it is possible to prioritize analysis of positive information. The viewpoint collection unit can also analyze the user's emotional response to the collected information and prioritize provision of information that is likely to resonate with the user emotionally. For example, by prioritizing provision of information with a high number of positive emotional responses, it is possible to improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, the viewpoint collection unit can evaluate the emotional value of the collected information and filter out negative information. For example, by excluding information with a high negative emotion score, it is possible to provide information that is useful to the user.

[0078] The solution generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and generate a solution based on the emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions, a solution that satisfies the user can be generated based on the emotions. This makes it possible to provide a solution that satisfies the user by providing a solution based on the user's emotions, thereby improving user satisfaction. The solution generation unit can also monitor the user's emotions in real time and provide a solution that corresponds to the emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can propose a solution that will help the user relax. Furthermore, the solution generation unit can analyze the user's emotions and generate a solution that is likely to resonate with the user emotionally. For example, it is possible to improve user satisfaction by preferentially proposing solutions that the user can easily resonate with.

[0079] The suggestion unit can improve and continuously optimize solutions based on user feedback. For example, if a user provides feedback on a proposed solution, the solution can be improved based on that feedback and reflected in the next proposal. This makes it possible to provide continuously optimized solutions by improving solutions based on user feedback. The suggestion unit can also analyze user feedback and identify common issues or problems. For example, if similar feedback is received from multiple users, the suggestion unit can identify common issues based on that feedback and propose solutions. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can create new solutions based on user feedback. For example, by reflecting user opinions and proposing a new marketing strategy, it is possible to provide solutions that meet the user's needs.

[0080] The perspective collection unit can collect feedback from users in different regions and provide solutions that reflect the regional perspectives. For example, by collecting and analyzing feedback from users in Asia and Europe, it is possible to provide solutions that reflect the regional perspectives. In this way, by collecting feedback from different regions, it is possible to provide solutions that reflect the regional perspectives. The perspective collection unit can also collect and analyze information based on the cultures and environments of different regions. For example, by collecting and analyzing marketing strategies based on the cultures and environments of Asia, it is possible to provide solutions that reflect the regional perspectives. Furthermore, the perspective collection unit can collect opinions of experts and influencers in different regions and provide them to users. For example, by collecting opinions of marketing experts in Asia and Europe and providing them to users, it is possible to provide solutions that reflect the regional perspectives.

[0081] The solution generation unit can use the emotion estimation function to monitor the user's emotional response to the generated solution in real time and provide an optimal solution. For example, by preferentially proposing a solution with a high user emotion score, a solution that satisfies the user can be provided. In this way, by monitoring the user's emotional response in real time, an optimal solution can be provided. The solution generation unit can also analyze the user's emotional response and generate a solution that is likely to resonate with emotionally. For example, by preferentially proposing a solution that the user can easily resonate with, user satisfaction can be improved. Furthermore, the solution generation unit can analyze the user's emotion and generate a solution based on the emotion. For example, if the user shows positive emotion, a solution that satisfies the user can be provided by generating a solution based on that emotion.

[0082] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0083] Step 1: The task input unit inputs the task or problem presented by the user. For example, a user can input a task such as "I want to think of a new marketing strategy." The task input unit also analyzes the task entered by the user and understands its content. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's input and collects related information. Step 2: The perspective collection unit collects diverse perspectives from cultures, environments, industries, and fields of expertise around the world based on the issues and problems entered by the problem input unit. For example, it collects marketing strategies from different countries and regions, success stories from different industries, and knowledge from different fields of expertise. Step 3: The solution generation unit generates new solutions and ideas based on the multiple perspectives collected by the perspective collection unit. For example, it combines information from different cultures and environments to propose a new marketing strategy. Step 4: The proposal unit presents the solutions and ideas generated by the solution generation unit to the user. For example, the generation AI may make a proposal such as, "As a new marketing strategy, we propose that you implement a campaign using social media."

[0125] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0126] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0127] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0128] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 may have a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

[0129] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0130] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0131] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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).

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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."

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.
