[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 data acquisition unit can also analyze customers' social media activities to understand their interests. For example, the data acquisition unit collects and analyzes content posted by customers and posts they have "liked." The data acquisition unit can also collect information on accounts that customers follow and groups that they participate in. This allows for a more detailed understanding of customers' interests through their social media activities.

[0073] The analysis unit can combine customer purchasing history with weather data to analyze the impact of weather on purchasing behavior. For example, the analysis unit can analyze whether a particular product sells well on rainy days. The analysis unit can also analyze seasonal purchasing patterns and predict seasonal demand. This makes it possible to use weather data to analyze customer purchasing behavior with greater accuracy.

[0074] The analysis unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions expressed by customers on social media and can propose marketing strategies based on those emotions. For example, if a customer expresses positive emotions, it can propose a campaign to reinforce those emotions. Also, if a customer expresses negative emotions, it can propose countermeasures to alleviate those emotions. In this way, it is possible to propose marketing strategies based on customer emotions.

[0075] The data acquisition unit can acquire biometric data from the customer's wearable device and analyze their health condition and stress level. For example, the data acquisition unit can collect and analyze their heart rate and sleep patterns. The data acquisition unit can also collect the amount of exercise and calorie consumption. This allows the customer's health condition and stress level to be understood and data useful for health management to be provided.

[0076] The analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions of the customer when using the wearable device and provide feedback based on those emotions. For example, if the customer feels positive emotions while exercising, the analysis unit can provide feedback to reinforce those emotions. Also, if the customer feels stressed, the analysis unit can provide advice to reduce that stress. In this way, it is possible to provide feedback based on the customer's emotions.

[0077] The answer generation unit can automatically generate video content related to customer questions and provide answers that are visually easy to understand. For example, the answer generation unit generates explanatory videos or tutorial videos in response to customer questions. The answer generation unit can also automatically generate graphics and animations to be used in the videos. This makes it possible to provide answers that are visually easy to understand through video content.

[0078] The answer generation unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions of customers when they watch video content and adjust the content of the video based on those emotions. For example, if a customer feels positive emotions while watching a video, the answer generation unit can provide additional content to reinforce those emotions. Also, if a customer feels negative emotions while watching a video, the answer generation unit can provide content to alleviate those emotions. In this way, the content of the video can be adjusted based on the customer's emotions.

[0079] The strategy planning department can compare data from different regions and propose customized strategies that are tailored to the characteristics of each region. For example, the strategy planning department can compare data from urban and rural areas and propose the optimal marketing strategy for each region. The strategy planning department can also compare data from different countries and propose strategies that are tailored to the culture and consumption behavior of each country. This makes it possible to propose customized strategies that are tailored to the characteristics of each region.

[0080] The strategy planning unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional reactions of customers and evaluate the effectiveness of a strategy based on those reactions. For example, if a customer expresses positive emotions toward a new strategy, the strategy planning unit can make a proposal to strengthen the strategy. Also, if a customer expresses negative emotions, the strategy planning unit can make a proposal to review the strategy. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of a strategy based on the emotional reactions of customers.

[0081] The Strategy Planning Department can combine data from different industries to propose new business models from a cross-industry perspective. For example, the Strategy Planning Department can combine data from the manufacturing and service industries to propose new product services. The Strategy Planning Department can also combine data from the IT and healthcare industries to propose new digital healthcare solutions. This allows the department to combine data from different industries to propose new business models from a cross-industry perspective.

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

[0083] Step 1: The data acquisition unit acquires behavioral big data. For example, the data acquisition unit collects website browsing history, purchase history, and location information (such as GPS data). Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the behavioral big data acquired by the data acquisition unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the data using statistical analysis or machine learning algorithms and predicts trends in the data. Step 3: The answer generation unit generates an answer to the customer's question based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the answer generation unit may generate an answer using natural language generation technology and evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the answer. Step 4: The strategy planning department plans an optimal data strategy based on the answers generated by the answer generation department. For example, the strategy planning department proposes methods for collecting and utilizing data, as well as criteria for evaluating the strategy.

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, 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.
