[0028] (Example 1) An educational support platform according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes generative AI to assist students from elementary school to high school in completing homework across a wide range of subjects. This system allows students to take and upload photos of text questions, and provides hints without immediately providing the answer, helping them arrive at the answer themselves. Once the answer is found, the AI ​​automatically presents advanced questions tailored to the student's level to further deepen their proficiency and solidify what they have learned. Furthermore, learning results are visualized and feedback is provided, allowing students to adjust their future study plans and behaviors based on that feedback. This allows the educational support platform to foster independent study habits, explore learning processes, and improve self-regulated learning.

[0029] An educational support platform according to an embodiment includes a photo analysis unit, a hint providing unit, an advanced problem setting unit, a learning result visualization unit, and a feedback unit. The photo analysis unit analyzes photos of text problems. For example, the photo analysis unit analyzes handwritten or printed problems photographed with a smartphone or tablet and converts them into text data. The photo analysis unit recognizes characters using OCR technology and analyzes the content of the problem. The hint providing unit provides step-by-step hints for problems analyzed by the photo analysis unit. For example, for a math problem, the hint providing unit first shows the steps for solving the problem and then shows the specific calculation method. The hint providing unit supports students in arriving at the answer by thinking for themselves. After the student arrives at the answer using the hint providing unit, the advanced problem setting unit presents advanced problems according to the student's level of proficiency. For example, the advanced problem setting unit presents applied or more difficult problems after solving basic problems. The advanced problem setting unit analyzes the student's answer history and learning situation to select the most appropriate questions. The learning result visualization unit visualizes the learning results of the questions posed by the advanced question setting unit. For example, the learning result visualization unit displays the correct answer rate, answer time, answer trends, etc. in graphs or charts. The feedback unit provides feedback based on the learning results visualized by the learning result visualization unit. For example, the feedback unit provides specific advice to the student and supports them in making study plans for the next time and beyond. In this way, the education support platform according to the embodiment can help students develop independent learning habits, explore their learning process, and improve self-regulated learning.

[0030] The photo analysis unit accurately analyzes handwritten characters or figures, enabling a more detailed understanding of the content of the problem. For example, when recognizing handwritten characters, the photo analysis unit analyzes differences in character shape and writing pressure and converts them into accurate text data. For example, the recognition accuracy is improved by taking into account differences in different writing instruments and writing styles. Furthermore, when recognizing figures, the photo analysis unit analyzes geometric figures and freehand figures to understand the content of the problem in detail. For example, the shape and arrangement of the figure are analyzed to extract information necessary for solving the problem. This allows for accurate analysis of handwritten characters and figures, enabling a more detailed understanding of the content of the problem.

[0031] The photo analysis unit can automatically adjust background or lighting conditions to improve the accuracy of text recognition. For example, the photo analysis unit automatically removes the background of an uploaded photo and extracts only the text portion. For example, background noise and unnecessary parts are removed to improve the accuracy of text recognition. The photo analysis unit also automatically adjusts lighting conditions to optimize brightness and contrast. For example, lighting distortion is corrected to improve the accuracy of text recognition. In this way, the background and lighting conditions can be automatically adjusted to improve the accuracy of text recognition.

[0032] The photo analysis unit accepts audio or video input, and the generation AI analyzes it to recognize questions. For example, when a student reads a question aloud, the photo analysis unit allows the generation AI to analyze the audio data and convert it into text data. For example, it uses voice recognition technology to accurately recognize the content of the question. The photo analysis unit also accepts video input, and the generation AI analyzes the text and figures in the video. For example, it recognizes the text in the video using OCR technology and analyzes the figures using image recognition technology. This allows questions to be recognized by analyzing audio and video input.

[0033] The photo analysis unit supports uploading from different devices and can realize collaboration between devices. The photo analysis unit supports uploading of photos from different devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs. For example, it provides applications and web interfaces compatible with each device. The photo analysis unit also uses cloud storage to realize collaboration between devices.

This makes it possible to support uploading from different devices and realize seamless collaboration between devices.

[0034] The hint providing unit can be customized according to the student's level of understanding and provide individually optimized support. The hint providing unit, for example, analyzes the student's past learning history and answer patterns and provides hints according to the student's level of understanding. For example, it provides basic hints to students with low levels of understanding and applied hints to students with high levels of understanding. The hint providing unit also customizes hints based on the real-time answering status. For example, it shows specific steps if the student is not making progress in answering, and provides supplementary information if the student is making progress in answering. This makes it possible to customize according to the student's level of understanding and provide individually optimized support.

[0035] The hint providing unit can provide the contents of the hint not only in text but also visually using video or interactive animation. For example, the hint providing unit provides the contents of the hint in video format to enable students to understand visually. For example, the steps of the solution are explained in video. The hint providing unit also provides hints using interactive animation. For example, the changes in shapes are shown in animation to enable students to visually understand how to solve the problem. Furthermore, the hint providing unit provides hints by combining text with video or animation. For example, explanations are given in text while supplemented with video or animation. In this way, the contents of the hint are provided visually, thereby deepening students' understanding.

[0036] The hint providing unit can incorporate feedback from other students and teachers and provide hints on a community basis. For example, the hint providing unit collects feedback from other students and teachers and provides hints based on that. For example, it refers to sample answers from students who have solved the same problem or advice from teachers. In addition, the hint providing unit shares message boards and sample answers in real time to provide hints on a community basis. For example, students can share sample answers with each other on the platform and give each other advice. This allows hints to be provided on a community basis by incorporating feedback from other students and teachers.

[0037] The advanced question setting unit can analyze a student's learning history and answer patterns and select the most appropriate advanced question. The advanced question setting unit, for example, analyzes a student's past learning history and selects advanced questions according to their level of understanding and proficiency. For example, it sets the most appropriate question based on the correct answer rate and answer time of questions previously solved. The advanced question setting unit also analyzes a student's answer patterns and identifies weak points and areas of strength. For example, if the correct answer rate in a particular area is low, it sets questions related to that area. In this way, it is possible to analyze a student's past learning history and answer patterns and select the most appropriate advanced question.

[0038] The advanced question setting unit can adjust the difficulty of advanced questions in real time and dynamically change it according to the student's level of understanding. The advanced question setting unit, for example, monitors the student's answering status in real time and dynamically adjusts the difficulty of advanced questions. For example, it increases the difficulty level when the student is progressing smoothly with the answers and decreases the difficulty level when the student is stuck on the answer. The advanced question setting unit also adjusts the order of questions to provide questions according to the student's level of understanding. For example, it starts with basic questions and gradually increases the difficulty level. In this way, the difficulty of advanced questions can be adjusted in real time and dynamically changed according to the student's level of understanding.

[0039] The advanced question setting unit can set advanced questions in a cross-curriculum format that integrates knowledge from different departments or fields. For example, the advanced question setting unit sets advanced questions that integrate knowledge from different departments. For example, it sets questions that combine knowledge of mathematics and physics. The advanced question setting unit also sets questions that relate to real life. For example, it sets questions that combine knowledge of science and social studies. Furthermore, the advanced question setting unit sets questions that integrate knowledge of history and geography. For example, it sets questions that combine historical events and geographical elements. This makes it possible to set advanced questions in a cross-curriculum format that integrates knowledge from different departments or fields.

[0040] The advanced question setting unit can set advanced questions in a group learning or competitive format to promote cooperation or competition between students. The advanced question setting unit, for example, sets advanced questions in a group learning format to promote cooperation between students. For example, it provides questions to be answered by teams. The advanced question setting unit can also set advanced questions in a competitive format to promote competition between students. For example, it provides questions in the form of a time trial or quiz. Furthermore, the advanced question setting unit can provide questions for team competition to promote cooperation and competition between students at the same time. This allows the setting of advanced questions to be set in a group learning or competitive format to promote cooperation and competition between students.

[0041] The learning result visualization unit can provide an interactive dashboard, allowing students to intuitively understand their own progress. The learning result visualization unit, for example, visualizes learning results in an interactive dashboard, allowing students to intuitively understand their own progress. For example, it displays learning results using graphs and charts. The learning result visualization unit also provides a filtering function, allowing students to check learning results by narrowing down to a specific period or item. For example, it displays learning results for a specific subject or period. Furthermore, the learning result visualization unit provides an analysis function, allowing students to analyze their learning results in detail. For example, it analyzes trends in the rate of correct answers and answer times. In this way, it is possible to provide an interactive dashboard, allowing students to intuitively understand their own progress.

[0042] The feedback unit can customize the feedback content according to the student's learning style and goals, and provide individually optimized advice. For example, the feedback unit customizes the content of the feedback according to the student's learning style and goals. For example, feedback using graphs and diagrams is provided to a student with a visual learning style. The feedback unit also provides advice based on the student's learning history and real-time progress. For example, if there is a lack of understanding in a particular area, the feedback unit suggests a study plan that focuses on that area. Furthermore, the feedback unit provides a customized study plan that matches the student's learning pace and learning style. This makes it possible to provide advice that is customized according to the student's learning style and goals, and is individually optimized.

[0043] The learning result visualization unit can share the visualization of learning results with parents and teachers, thereby strengthening support at home and at school. The learning result visualization unit can, for example, share learning results with parents and teachers, thereby strengthening support at home and at school. For example, learning results can be shared by email or a dedicated app. The learning result visualization unit also provides an online dashboard, allowing parents and teachers to check learning results in real time. For example, it can suggest learning plans and additional learning support. This allows the visualization of learning results to be shared with parents and teachers, thereby strengthening support at home and at school.

[0044] The feedback unit can incorporate game elements into the content of the feedback to enable students to learn while having fun. The feedback unit can, for example, incorporate game elements into the content of the feedback to enable students to learn while having fun. For example, a system can be introduced that allows students to earn points or badges according to their learning results. The feedback unit can also provide feedback in the form of a quiz to enable students to learn while having fun. For example, rewards can be provided according to the progress of learning. Furthermore, the feedback unit can visualize the level of learning achievement through the growth of a character. In this way, game elements can be incorporated into the content of the feedback to enable students to learn while having fun.

[0045] The learning plan adjustment unit can adjust the student's learning plan and learning behavior from the next time onwards based on the feedback. The learning plan adjustment unit, for example, adjusts the student's learning plan and learning behavior from the next time onwards based on the feedback. For example, if there is a lack of understanding in a particular area, the learning plan adjustment unit proposes a learning plan that focuses on that area. The learning plan adjustment unit also provides a customized learning plan that matches the student's learning pace and learning style. For example, it provides more assignments to a student who learns at a fast pace, and assignments that progress gradually to a student who learns at a slow pace. In this way, the student's learning plan and learning behavior from the next time onwards can be adjusted based on the feedback.

[0046] The learning plan adjustment unit can customize the learning plan to suit the learning pace and learning style of the student. The learning plan adjustment unit customizes the learning plan to suit, for example, the learning pace and learning style of the student. For example, it provides a learning plan that makes extensive use of diagrams and graphs to a student with a visual learning style, and a learning plan that makes extensive use of audio commentary to a student with an auditory learning style. The learning plan adjustment unit also adjusts the amount and difficulty of assignments according to the student's learning pace. For example, it provides more assignments to a student with a fast learning pace, and assignments that progress gradually to a student with a slow learning pace. In this way, the learning plan can be customized to suit the learning pace and learning style of the student.

[0047] The study plan adjustment unit can propose a study plan that focuses on a specific area when a student's understanding is lacking in that area. For example, when a student's understanding is lacking in a specific area, the study plan adjustment unit proposes a study plan that focuses on that area. For example, when a student's understanding of mathematics is lacking, a study plan that focuses on mathematics is provided. The study plan adjustment unit also analyzes the student's study history and answer patterns to identify weak points. For example, when a student's correct answer rate is low in a specific area, many assignments related to that area are provided. In this way, when a student's understanding is lacking in a specific area, a study plan that focuses on that area can be proposed.

[0048] The study plan adjustment unit can optimize the study plan based on the student's study history and answer patterns. The study plan adjustment unit, for example, analyzes the student's study history and answer patterns to optimize the study plan. For example, it provides a study plan according to the student's level of understanding and proficiency based on past test results and study time. The study plan adjustment unit also identifies the student's weak points and areas of strength, and adjusts the study plan based on that. For example, if the student's rate of correct answers in a particular area is low, it provides more tasks related to that area. This makes it possible to optimize the study plan based on the student's study history and answer patterns.

[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0050] The educational support platform can further include an audio feedback unit. The audio feedback unit provides audio feedback when a student enters an answer. For example, if the answer is correct, an encouraging message such as "Good job!" is provided, and if the answer is incorrect, audio advice such as "Please think about it again" is provided. The audio feedback unit can also provide additional audio advice on specific areas based on the student's answer history. This allows students to receive feedback not only visually but also aurally, thereby improving the effectiveness of their learning.

[0051] The educational support platform can further include a gamification section. The gamification section makes learning fun by incorporating game elements when students input answers. For example, students can earn points for each problem they solve and use those points to develop their characters. A system can also be introduced that allows students to earn badges or trophies when they achieve certain goals. Furthermore, a ranking function that allows students to compete with other students can be provided, increasing motivation for learning. This allows students to learn while having fun.

[0052] The educational support platform can further include a reminder section. The reminder section provides study reminders based on the study schedule set by the student. For example, it can send a notification such as "Start studying math now" at a specific time. The reminder section can also suggest the next task to be tackled based on the student's study progress. Furthermore, the reminder section can send notifications urging the student to take a break between studies. This allows the student to proceed with their studies in a planned manner.

[0053] The educational support platform can also be equipped with a virtual assistant section. When a student inputs a question, the virtual assistant section uses generative AI to provide an instant answer. For example, it can provide detailed explanations for questions about how to solve a math problem or a historical event. The virtual assistant section can also suggest what the student should learn next based on their learning history. Furthermore, the virtual assistant section can monitor the student's learning progress and provide additional support as needed. This allows students to get answers to their questions at any time, improving their learning efficiency.

[0054] The educational support platform can further include a multilingual support section for learning content. The multilingual support section automatically translates learning content according to the language selected by the student. For example, if a student selects English, all questions, hints, and feedback will be displayed in English. The multilingual support section can also provide a function for comparing learning progress across different languages. This allows students learning different languages ​​to progress on the same platform.

[0055] The educational support platform can further include a learning content customization unit. The customization unit customizes learning content according to the student's interests. For example, a student who is interested in science can be provided with many science-related questions and hints. A student who is interested in a particular topic can also be provided with learning content related to that topic. Furthermore, the customization unit can suggest what the student should learn next based on the student's learning history. This makes it possible to provide learning content that matches the student's interests and increase their motivation to learn.

[0056] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0057] Step 1: The photo analysis unit analyzes the photo of the text question. For example, it analyzes handwritten questions or printed questions photographed with a smartphone or tablet and converts them into text data. The photo analysis unit uses OCR technology to recognize the characters and analyze the content of the question. Step 2: The hint provider provides step-by-step hints for the problem analyzed by the photo analyzer. For example, for a math problem, the hint provider first shows the steps for solving the problem, and then shows the specific calculation method. The hint provider helps students think for themselves to arrive at the answer. Step 3: After the student arrives at the answer using the hint provider, the advanced problem generator presents advanced problems according to the student's level of proficiency. For example, after solving a basic problem, the generator presents applied or more difficult problems. The advanced problem generator analyzes the student's answer history and learning situation to select the most appropriate questions. Step 4: The learning result visualization unit visualizes the learning results of the questions posed by the advanced question setting unit. For example, it displays the correct answer rate, answer time, answer trends, etc. in graphs and charts. Step 5: The feedback unit provides feedback based on the learning results visualized by the learning result visualization unit. For example, it provides specific advice to the student and helps them create a learning plan for the next time.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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).

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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."

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

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.
