The communication evaluation unit evaluates communication skills, for example, through questions about how the candidate has communicated with team members in the past. For example, it may analyze how the candidate summarized opinions within a team and led a project to success. This makes it possible to select candidates who fit the corporate culture based on their communication skills.

[0074] The recruitment activity support system can further include an interview adjustment unit that estimates the candidate's emotions and adjusts the progress of the interview based on the estimated emotions. For example, the interview adjustment unit adds questions to relax the candidate if the candidate is nervous, and asks more in-depth questions if the candidate is relaxed. This allows the progress of the interview to be adjusted based on the candidate's emotions, resulting in a more accurate evaluation.

[0075] The recruitment activity support system may further include a feedback providing unit that estimates the candidate's emotions and provides feedback based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the candidate answers with confidence, the feedback providing unit provides feedback that reinforces the candidate's confidence, and if the candidate feels anxious, the feedback providing unit provides feedback that reduces the candidate's anxiety. This allows the candidate to receive appropriate feedback based on their emotions and improve their performance.

[0076] The recruitment activity support system can further include a question adjustment unit that estimates the candidate's emotions and dynamically changes the questions based on the estimated emotions. For example, the question adjustment unit adds questions to relax the candidate if the candidate is nervous, and asks more in-depth questions if the candidate is relaxed. This allows the questions to be dynamically changed based on the candidate's emotions, resulting in a more accurate evaluation.

[0077] The recruitment activity support system can further include an interview progress unit that estimates the candidate's emotions and adjusts the progress of the interview based on the estimated emotions. For example, the interview progress unit adds questions to relax the candidate if the candidate is nervous, and asks more in-depth questions if the candidate is relaxed. This allows the progress of the interview to be adjusted based on the candidate's emotions, resulting in a more accurate evaluation.

[0078] The recruitment activity support system may further include a feedback providing unit that estimates the candidate's emotions and provides feedback based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the candidate answers with confidence, the feedback providing unit provides feedback that reinforces the candidate's confidence, and if the candidate feels anxious, the feedback providing unit provides feedback that reduces the candidate's anxiety. This allows the candidate to receive appropriate feedback based on their emotions and improve their performance.

[0079] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0080] Step 1: The question generator generates questions that reflect the company culture. For example, the generator generates questions based on prompts that include instructions about the company culture and values. Specifically, it generates questions such as, "What do you value most when working in a team?" and "How do you deal with difficult situations?" Step 2: The response collection unit collects responses from candidates and employees to the generated questions. For example, the unit presents questions to candidates and employees and collects responses using an online form or questionnaire system. Step 3: The response analysis unit analyzes the collected responses of candidates and employees and calculates the degree of matching. For example, the generation AI compares the response trends of employees with the responses of candidates to calculate the degree of matching. Specifically, if the response trend of employees is something like "I value being cooperative," it analyzes whether the responses of candidates also show a similar tendency.

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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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).

[0134] 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 "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[0135] 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."

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.
