[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses generative AI to provide video and audio instructions on how to use a mobile phone and how to operate it. This allows for immediate responses to general questions that do not require direct response from store staff. This allows the system to allow customers to obtain information at their own pace, allowing store staff to focus on more specialized tasks. This enables efficient store operations even with a staff shortage. Furthermore, the introduction of generative AI is expected to provide flexible and efficient support while imitating natural human conversations. This will effectively evolve the operations of mobile phone shops while also meeting the psychological needs of customers.

[0029] The system according to the embodiment includes a generation AI, a video providing unit, an audio providing unit, and a question response unit. The generation AI provides instructions on how to use a model and operation instructions. For example, the generation AI instantly answers general questions, such as how to set up a new smartphone or how to install an app. The generation AI generates appropriate video and audio based on prompts containing instructions on what the user wants the generation AI to do. For example, in response to a prompt such as, "Please tell me how to set up my new smartphone," the generation AI provides specific instructions in the form of video and audio. The video providing unit provides video generated by the generation AI. For example, the video providing unit displays operation procedures on the smartphone screen. The video providing unit also allows the user to play, stop, rewind, and fast-forward the video. The audio providing unit provides audio generated by the generation AI. For example, the audio providing unit provides audio guidance on operation procedures from the smartphone speaker. The audio providing unit also allows the user to play, stop, rewind, and fast-forward the audio. The question response unit responds to general questions. For example, if a user asks a question such as "Can you tell me more about this function?", the generation AI will provide an appropriate answer to the question. This allows the system to use the generation AI to provide instructions on how to use the model and how to operate it, reducing the burden on store staff and enabling efficient store operations.

[0030] The generation AI can learn a user's past operation history and provide individually customized operating instructions. For example, the generation AI analyzes a user's past operation history to identify frequently used functions and operations. For example, a user who frequently uses a particular app can be provided with detailed operating instructions for that app. The generation AI can also identify operations that the user has difficulty with based on the user's operation history and provide customized instructions for those operations. For example, if a user has difficulty changing a particular setting, the generation AI can provide detailed instructions for changing that setting. Furthermore, the generation AI can suggest new features and apps that the user might be interested in based on the user's operation history. For example, if a user frequently uses photo editing apps, the generation AI can introduce new photo editing apps. This makes it possible to provide individually customized operating instructions based on the user's past operation history.

[0031] Generative AI can monitor user operations in real time and immediately suggest how to correct them if an error occurs. For example, generative AI can monitor user operations in real time and immediately suggest how to correct them if an error is detected. For example, if an incorrect setting change is made, the correct procedure is displayed. Furthermore, when a user makes an error, generative AI analyzes the cause of the error and provides advice on how to prevent it from happening again. For example, if a user accidentally deletes an app, the generative AI will prompt the user to recheck the app deletion procedure. Furthermore, when a user makes an error, generative AI will suggest measures to minimize the impact of the error. For example, if the settings are accidentally reset, the generative AI will guide the user on how to restore the settings from a backup. This makes it possible to detect errors in real time and immediately suggest how to correct them.

[0032] The generating AI can use AR technology to overlay and display operating instructions on a device. For example, the generating AI uses AR technology to overlay and display operating instructions on an actual device. For example, it overlays operating procedures on a smartphone screen. The generating AI also uses AR technology to display operating procedures and guides on the actual screen of the device operated by the user. For example, it displays operating procedures on a screen viewed through a camera. Furthermore, the generating AI uses AR technology to display operating procedures on the actual physical buttons and interface of the device operated by the user. For example, it displays operating procedures on top of buttons. In this way, it is possible to overlay and display operating instructions on an actual device using AR technology.

[0033] The generation AI can automatically generate operation instructions that correspond to different languages ​​and cultures, making it possible to accommodate global users. For example, the generation AI can automatically generate operation instructions that correspond to different languages ​​and provide them to global users. For example, operation instructions can be provided in multiple languages ​​such as English, French, and Chinese. The generation AI can also automatically generate operation instructions that correspond to different cultures and provide explanations that take into account the user's cultural background. For example, the generation AI can provide explanations that include operating procedures and precautions that take cultural differences into account.

This makes it possible to provide information at an optimal pace according to the user's learning speed.

[0035] The generation AI can evaluate the user's level of understanding in real time and add supplementary explanations as necessary. The generation AI, for example, evaluates the user's level of understanding in real time and adds supplementary explanations as necessary. For example, if the level of understanding is low, it provides a detailed explanation. The generation AI also adjusts the content of the supplementary explanations according to the user's level of understanding. For example, if the level of understanding is high, it provides a concise supplementary explanation. Furthermore, the generation AI changes the format of the supplementary explanations according to the user's level of understanding. For example, if the level of understanding is low, it provides a video tutorial. This makes it possible to provide necessary supplementary explanations in real time according to the user's level of understanding.

[0036] The generation AI can deliver information in stages according to the user's schedule. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's schedule and delivers information in stages at the optimal timing. For example, it provides information according to the user's free time. The generation AI also adjusts the frequency of information delivery according to the user's schedule. For example, it reduces the frequency of information delivery during busy periods and increases the frequency of delivery during periods when the user has less free time. Furthermore, the generation AI changes the format of information delivery according to the user's schedule. For example, it provides information in a format that can be understood in a short amount of time. This allows information to be delivered in stages according to the user's schedule.

[0037] The generation AI can select and provide an information format (text, audio, video) according to the user's preferences. The generation AI, for example, selects an information format according to the user's preferences and provides the information. For example, it selects the format the user prefers from text, audio, or video. The generation AI also adjusts the method of providing information according to the user's preferences. For example, it provides video to a user who prefers visual information, and audio to a user who prefers auditory information. Furthermore, the generation AI adjusts the frequency of information provision according to the user's preferences. For example, it provides information frequently to a user who prefers detailed information, and provides summary information to a user who prefers concise information. This makes it possible to provide information in an information format that suits the user's preferences.

[0038] The generation AI can manage store staff schedules and assign specialized tasks at the optimal time. For example, the generation AI can analyze store staff schedules and assign specialized tasks at the optimal time. For example, it can assign tasks based on staff's free time. The generation AI can also adjust the priority of tasks according to the store staff schedules. For example, it can assign tasks with a high degree of urgency first. Furthermore, the generation AI can change the method of task assignment according to the store staff schedules. For example, it can assign tasks based on the staff's skills and experience. This makes it possible to manage store staff schedules and assign specialized tasks at the optimal time.

[0039] Generative AI can evaluate the skill levels of store staff and suggest appropriate training programs. For example, generative AI can evaluate the skill levels of store staff and suggest individually customized training programs. For example, it can provide training to strengthen specific skills to staff who lack them. Generative AI can also adjust the content of the training program according to the skill level of the store staff. For example, it can provide basic training for beginners to advanced training for advanced staff. Furthermore, generative AI can change the format of the training program according to the skill level of the store staff. For example, it can provide online courses, workshops, on-the-job training, etc. This makes it possible to suggest appropriate training programs according to the skill level of the store staff.

[0040] Generative AI can automatically record the work of store staff and analyze their work efficiency. For example, generative AI can build a system that automatically records the work of store staff and analyzes their work efficiency. For example, it can record the progress of work and the time it is completed. Generative AI can also evaluate work efficiency based on the work records of store staff. For example, it can analyze work time and error rates. Furthermore, generative AI can make suggestions to improve work efficiency. For example, it can suggest improvements to work procedures or the introduction of tools. This makes it possible to automatically record the work of store staff and analyze their work efficiency.

[0041] Generative AI can share store staff's work with other staff members, improving the efficiency of the entire team. For example, generative AI can build a system that allows store staff members to share their work with other staff members, improving the efficiency of the entire team. For example, they can share the progress of work and work together to get the job done. Generative AI can also prevent duplication of work by sharing the work content of store staff with other staff members. For example, it can adjust so that multiple staff members do not perform the same work. Furthermore, by sharing store staff members' work with other staff members, generative AI can improve the skills of the entire team. For example, experienced staff members can teach new staff members their work. This allows store staff members to share their work with other staff members, improving the efficiency of the entire team.

[0042] Generative AI can analyze store visitor data and propose optimal staff allocation. For example, generative AI can analyze store visitor data and build a system that proposes optimal staff allocation. For example, it can allocate staff according to peak visitor times. Generative AI can also adjust staff allocation based on store visitor data. For example, if customers are concentrated during a specific time period, it can increase the number of staff during that time period. Furthermore, generative AI can propose allocation based on staff skills and experience based on store visitor data. For example, it can allocate experienced staff during peak hours. This makes it possible to analyze store visitor data and propose optimal staff allocation.

[0043] Generative AI can automate store inventory management and ensure efficient product replenishment. For example, generative AI analyzes store inventory data and builds a system for efficient product replenishment. For example, it automatically replenishes products that are running low on stock. Generative AI also adjusts the timing of product replenishment based on the store's inventory data. For example, it replenishes best-selling products at the appropriate time so that they do not run out of stock. Furthermore, generative AI adjusts the amount of product replenishment based on the store's inventory data. For example, it increases or decreases the amount replenished depending on demand. This allows for automated store inventory management and efficient product replenishment.

[0044] Generative AI can strengthen collaboration with other stores and promote resource sharing. For example, generative AI can build a system that strengthens collaboration with other stores and promotes resource sharing. For example, it can share inventory and staff. Generative AI can also work to efficiently use resources by collaborating with other stores. For example, it can replenish inventory from other stores to adjust inventory surpluses and shortages. Furthermore, generative AI can work to reduce costs by sharing resources with other stores. For example, it can reduce costs by using common resources. This can strengthen collaboration with other stores and promote resource sharing.

[0045] Generative AI can optimize a store's energy consumption and reduce costs. For example, generative AI can analyze a store's energy consumption data and build a system that proposes an optimal energy consumption plan. For example, by avoiding peak energy consumption times. Generative AI can also make suggestions to improve energy efficiency based on the store's energy consumption data. For example, it can suggest the introduction of highly energy-efficient equipment. Furthermore, generative AI can make suggestions to reduce energy waste based on the store's energy consumption data. For example, it can encourage the use of unnecessary lighting and equipment to be reduced. This makes it possible to optimize a store's energy consumption and reduce costs.

[0046] The generative AI can learn from a user's past interaction history and provide more personalized responses. For example, the generative AI analyzes a user's past interaction history and provides individually customized responses. For example, it provides related information based on questions asked in the past. The generative AI can also identify a user's preferences and interests based on the user's interaction history and provide responses accordingly. For example, a user who is interested in a particular topic can be provided with information related to that topic. Furthermore, the generative AI can identify areas where the user has had difficulty in the past based on the user's interaction history and provide enhanced support for those areas. For example, a user who has difficulty with a particular operation can be provided with detailed explanations of that operation. This allows for more personalized responses based on the user's past interaction history.

[0047] Generative AI can analyze a user's non-verbal communication (facial expressions, gestures) to achieve more natural dialogue. For example, generative AI can analyze a user's facial expressions to achieve a natural dialogue that corresponds to their emotional state. For example, when the user smiles, it returns a positive response. Generative AI can also analyze a user's gestures to smooth the flow of the dialogue. For example, when the user nods, it moves on to the next explanation. Furthermore, generative AI can analyze the user's posture and movements to adjust the content of the dialogue. For example, if the user is relaxed, it will speak in a casual tone. This allows the user's non-verbal communication to be analyzed and more natural dialogue to be achieved.

[0048] Generative AI can seamlessly take over conversations between different devices and provide consistent support. For example, generative AI can build a system that seamlessly takes over conversations between different devices and provides consistent support. For example, a conversation can be taken over from a smartphone to a tablet. Generative AI can also synchronize the conversation history between different devices, allowing users to receive consistent support regardless of which device they use. For example, a conversation started on a desktop computer can be continued on a smartphone. Furthermore, when taking over a conversation between different devices, generative AI retains the content and progress of the conversation. For example, it can smoothly proceed with the next conversation based on the content of the previous conversation. This makes it possible to seamlessly take over conversations between different devices and provide consistent support.

[0049] The generation AI can select a conversation style (formal or casual) according to the user's preferences. For example, the generation AI selects a conversation style according to the user's preferences and responds formally or casually. For example, formal language is used in business situations. The generation AI also adjusts the tone and language of the conversation according to the user's preferences. For example, it responds in a friendly tone to a user who prefers casual conversations. Furthermore, the generation AI adjusts the content of the conversation according to the user's preferences. For example, it provides detailed information to a user who prefers detailed explanations, and provides information that summarizes the main points to a user who prefers concise explanations. This allows the generation AI to respond in a conversation style that suits the user's preferences.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0051] Based on the user's operation history, the generative AI can automatically customize and place the user's frequently used functions and apps on the home screen. For example, it can place frequently used apps in a prominent position on the home screen. The generative AI can also hide unnecessary apps and functions based on the user's operation history.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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).

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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."

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.
