The biometric information acquisition unit acquires biometric information such as the user's heart rate and galvanic skin response in real time to measure the user's stress level and concentration. For example, if the heart rate increases, it is determined that the user is excited, and the pace of the discussion is adjusted accordingly. Also, if the galvanic skin response decreases, it is determined that the user is relaxed, and deeper discussion is promoted. This makes it possible to optimize the progress of the discussion based on the user's biometric information.

[0077] The brainstorming system can further include a summarization unit that automatically summarizes what users say. The summarization unit analyzes what users say in real time, extracts important points, and summarizes them. For example, it can summarize long comments in short sentences, making the flow of discussion smoother. In addition, the summarization can be shared with other users, making it easier for everyone to understand the content of the discussion. This can improve the efficiency of discussions.

[0078] The brainstorming system can further include an emotion estimation unit that estimates the user's emotion and adjusts the progress of the discussion based on the estimated emotion. The emotion estimation unit analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to estimate the user's emotion in real time. For example, if the user is feeling dissatisfied, it makes a suggestion to change the direction of the discussion. Also, if the user is excited, it makes use of that emotion to deepen the discussion. In this way, it is possible to optimize the progress of the discussion based on the user's emotion.

[0079] The brainstorming system can further include an external resource providing unit that analyzes the content of user comments and automatically provides relevant external resources. The external resource providing unit analyzes the content of user comments and automatically searches for and provides external resources such as related papers, articles, and databases. For example, if a technical discussion is taking place, the latest related research papers may be presented. Also, if a marketing discussion is taking place, relevant market data may be provided. This can improve the quality of the discussion.

[0080] The brainstorming system may further include a feedback customization unit that estimates the user's emotions and customizes feedback based on the estimated emotions. The feedback customization unit analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to estimate the user's emotions in real time. For example, if the user is expressing a positive emotion, the feedback customization unit provides feedback that reinforces the emotion. Also, if the user is expressing a negative emotion, the feedback customization unit provides feedback that alleviates the emotion. This makes it possible to optimize feedback based on the user's emotions.

[0081] The brainstorming system can further include a recording unit that analyzes the content of user comments and automatically records the progress of the discussion. The recording unit analyzes the content of user comments in real time and automatically records the progress of the discussion. For example, it can automatically record important points and decisions of the discussion so that they can be referenced later. In addition, the recorded content can be shared with other users, making it easier for everyone to understand the content of the discussion. This can improve the efficiency of the discussion.

[0082] The brainstorming system can further include a theme suggestion unit that estimates the user's emotions and suggests topics for discussion based on the estimated emotions. The theme suggestion unit analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to estimate the user's emotions in real time. For example, if the user is excited, the system suggests a theme that matches the user's emotions. Also, if the user is relaxed, the system suggests a theme that can be discussed in a relaxed state. This makes it possible to optimize the topics for discussion based on the user's emotions.

[0083] The brainstorming system can further include an evaluation unit that analyzes the content of user comments and automatically evaluates the progress of the discussion. The evaluation unit analyzes the content of user comments in real time and automatically evaluates the progress of the discussion. For example, it evaluates whether the discussion is progressing smoothly and suggests improvements as needed. It also evaluates whether the content of the discussion is substantial and provides new perspectives as needed. This can improve the quality of the discussion.

[0084] The brainstorming system can further include a progress adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the progress of the discussion based on the estimated emotions. The progress adjustment unit analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice to estimate the user's emotions in real time. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the progress adjustment unit suggests slowing down the pace of the discussion. Also, if the user is excited, the progress adjustment unit makes use of the user's emotions to deepen the discussion. In this way, the progress of the discussion can be optimized based on the user's emotions.

[0085] The brainstorming system can further include a visualization unit that analyzes user comments and automatically visualizes the progress of the discussion. The visualization unit analyzes user comments in real time and automatically visualizes the progress of the discussion. For example, it can display the flow of the discussion in a flowchart, making it easier for everyone to grasp the progress of the discussion. It can also highlight important points and decisions, making it easier for people to intuitively understand the content of the discussion. This can improve the efficiency of the discussion.

[0086] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0087] Step 1: The AI ​​agents provide feedback and ideas for the proposals posted by users. For example, AI agents with technical perspectives, AI agents with marketing perspectives, and AI agents with creative perspectives may collaborate to brainstorm. Step 2: The AI ​​moderator manages the progress of the dialogue among the AI ​​agents, for example, by making sure the discussion doesn't go off track and by keeping the focus on important points. They also use facilitation techniques to support all AI agents in effectively exchanging their opinions. Step 3: The relevant information provider provides relevant information from past discussions, for example, referencing ideas and discussions from previous brainstorming sessions to provide new perspectives. Step 4: Miro-linked AI converts ideas generated during brainstorming into text and diagrams in real time and organizes them. For example, it automatically extracts keywords and phrases that arise during discussions and organizes them visually. It also uses diagrams to show the relationships between ideas, aiding visual understanding.

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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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).

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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."

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.
