[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) In the seat utilization optimization system according to an embodiment of the present invention, passengers input their planned disembarkation station through an app, and the generation AI notifies them of upcoming vacant seats in real time based on its predictions. Furthermore, seat-giving-up behavior is rewarded in the form of seat-giving-up points, which can be used for discounts on train fares and affiliated services. This allows the seat utilization optimization system to streamline seat utilization on trains and promote a culture of seat-giving-up-together behavior.

[0029] A seat utilization optimization system according to an embodiment includes a planned disembarkation station input unit, a seat prediction unit, and a point assignment unit. The planned disembarkation station input unit inputs the planned disembarkation station of a passenger. For example, a passenger inputs their planned disembarkation station through an app. The seat prediction unit predicts seat availability based on the information about the planned disembarkation station input by the planned disembarkation station input unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes past data and current passenger disembarkation plans to predict which seats will be available at the next station. The point assignment unit assigns points for giving up a seat. For example, when a passenger gives up their seat to another passenger, the action is recorded in the app and points are assigned for giving up a seat. This allows the seat utilization optimization system to streamline seat utilization on trains and promote a culture of sharing seats with others. For example, by inputting the planned disembarkation station, passengers can know in advance which seats will be available at the next station, and giving up their seat is rewarded with points, thereby encouraging cooperation among passengers. In addition, by collaborating with partner services, the scope of use of sharing points will expand, increasing the benefits for passengers.

[0030] The planned alighting station input unit can predict and suggest planned alighting stations based on the passenger's past boarding history. For example, the planned alighting station input unit analyzes the passenger's past boarding history, and the generation AI automatically predicts the next planned alighting station. For example, the next alighting station can be suggested based on stations where passengers have frequently alighted in the past. This reduces the effort required for input by predicting and suggesting planned alighting stations based on the passenger's past boarding history.

[0031] The planned alighting station input unit can automatically detect the planned alighting station using smartphone location information, simplifying input. For example, the planned alighting station input unit obtains the location information of the passenger's smartphone in real time, and the generation AI automatically detects the planned alighting station. For example, when a passenger approaches a specific station, the AI ​​suggests that station as the planned alighting station. This allows the planned alighting station to be automatically detected using smartphone location information, simplifying input.

[0032] The planned alighting station input unit can input the planned alighting station using voice recognition technology, enabling hands-free operation. The planned alighting station input unit can use voice recognition technology to build a system that allows passengers to input the planned alighting station by voice. For example, the planned alighting station can be input simply by the passenger saying, "I'll get off at the next station." This allows the planned alighting station to be input using voice recognition technology, enabling hands-free operation.

[0033] The planned alighting station input unit can add a chat function to promote communication with other passengers. The planned alighting station input unit adds a chat function to communicate with other passengers, for example, when inputting a planned alighting station. For example, passengers can share information about their planned alighting stations. This allows the addition of a chat function to promote communication with other passengers.

[0034] The seat prediction unit can predict seat availability by taking into account external data such as weather or event information. The seat prediction unit builds a system that predicts seat availability by taking into account, for example, weather data. For example, since passenger numbers tend to increase on rainy days, weather data is used when predicting seat availability. This allows for improved prediction accuracy by taking into account external data such as weather and event information when predicting seat availability.

[0035] The seat prediction unit can analyze the congestion status inside the vehicle in real time and predict the availability of seats. For example, the seat prediction unit constructs a system in which a generation AI analyzes the congestion status inside the vehicle in real time and predicts the availability of seats. For example, it analyzes camera footage inside the vehicle to evaluate the degree of congestion. This allows the congestion status inside the vehicle to be analyzed in real time and predicts the availability of seats, improving the accuracy of predictions.

[0036] The seat prediction unit can predict seat availability by taking into account the operation status of other means of transportation. The seat prediction unit, for example, builds a system that predicts seat availability by taking into account the operation status of other means of transportation. For example, the system proposes the optimal means of transportation based on bus and taxi operation information. This makes it possible to improve prediction accuracy by predicting seat availability by taking into account the operation status of other means of transportation.

[0037] The seat prediction unit can give priority to suggesting seats in consideration of the health condition of passengers. The seat prediction unit, for example, builds a system that predicts seat availability in consideration of the health condition of passengers. For example, it gives priority to suggesting seats to passengers who have difficulty walking. In this way, passenger comfort can be improved by giving priority to suggesting seats in consideration of the health condition of passengers.

[0038] The point allocating unit can award not only seat-giving points but also a special badge or title for the act of giving up one's seat. The point allocating unit, for example, builds a system that awards not only seat-giving points but also a special badge or title for the act of giving up one's seat. For example, a passenger who gives up their seat a certain number of times or more can be awarded the title of "seat-giving master." In this way, passengers can be motivated by being awarded not only seat-giving points but also a special badge or title for the act of giving up one's seat.

[0039] The point allocating unit can collect feedback from other passengers, evaluate the act of giving up one's seat, and reflect the evaluation in points. For example, the point allocating unit builds a system for collecting feedback from other passengers and reflecting the feedback in points in order to evaluate the act of giving up one's seat. For example, a passenger who has been given up a seat provides feedback, and the evaluation is reflected in points. In this way, feedback from other passengers is collected, the act of giving up one's seat is evaluated, and the evaluation is reflected in points, thereby making it possible to increase the fairness of evaluation.

[0040] The point allocating unit can provide not only points but also free tickets to affiliated fitness gyms or movie theaters for giving up one's seat. The point allocating unit builds a system that provides not only points but also free tickets to affiliated fitness gyms or movie theaters for giving up one's seat, for example. For example, free tickets are provided to passengers who have earned a certain number of points. In this way, by providing not only points but also free tickets to affiliated fitness gyms or movie theaters for giving up one's seat, it is possible to increase the motivation of passengers.

[0041] The point allocating unit can introduce a ranking system in which passengers compete with each other for points. The point allocating unit introduces a ranking system in which passengers compete with each other for points, for example, in order to encourage the act of giving up one's seat. For example, the act of giving up one's seat is evaluated, and a benefit is provided to passengers with high rankings. In this way, by introducing a ranking system in which passengers compete with each other for points, it is possible to encourage the act of giving up one's seat.

[0042] The generation AI can analyze passenger behavior patterns and make seat-sharing suggestions at the optimal timing. The generation AI can, for example, build a system that analyzes passenger behavior patterns and makes seat-sharing suggestions at the optimal timing. For example, the system can make a seat-sharing suggestion when a passenger approaches the station where they plan to disembark. In this way, by using the generation AI to analyze passenger behavior patterns and make seat-sharing suggestions at the optimal timing, it is possible to encourage seat-sharing.

[0043] The generation AI can analyze passengers' past history of giving up their seats and customize rewards. For example, the generation AI can build a system that analyzes passengers' past history of giving up their seats and customize rewards. For example, a special reward can be offered to passengers who have given up many seats in the past. In this way, passengers' motivation can be increased by using the generation AI to analyze passengers' past history of giving up their seats and customize rewards.

[0044] The platform allows passengers to share stories of seat-sharing among themselves. The platform, for example, builds a system for passengers to share stories of seat-sharing among themselves. For example, passengers can post stories of when they gave up their seats and share them with other passengers. This provides a platform for passengers to share stories of seat-sharing among themselves, thereby promoting a culture of seat-sharing.

[0045] Generative AI can link with passengers' social media accounts to share their seat-sharing behavior. For example, generative AI can link with passengers' social media accounts to build a system for sharing seat-sharing behavior. For example, the act of giving up one's seat can be automatically posted on social media. In this way, generative AI can link with passengers' social media accounts to share their seat-sharing behavior, thereby spreading the culture of seat-sharing.

[0046] The generation AI can suggest the most suitable services to passengers based on their usage history of affiliated services and encourage them to use points. For example, the generation AI can build a system that suggests the most suitable services to passengers based on their usage history of affiliated services. For example, it can suggest related services based on services that have been used in the past. In this way, the generation AI can suggest the most suitable services to passengers based on their usage history of affiliated services and encourage them to use points, thereby increasing passenger satisfaction.

[0047] Discount coupons for affiliated services can be customized to suit the lifestyles and preferences of passengers. A system can be constructed to customize discount coupons for affiliated services to suit the lifestyles and preferences of passengers. For example, a discount coupon for a fitness gym can be provided to a health-conscious passenger. In this way, passenger satisfaction can be increased by customizing discount coupons for affiliated services to suit the lifestyles and preferences of passengers.

[0048] The range of affiliated services can be expanded to include online shopping sites and digital content where passengers can use their points. The range of affiliated services can be expanded to include online shopping sites and digital content where passengers can use their points. For example, a system can be built that allows passengers to use their points on online shopping sites. This will expand the range of affiliated services to include online shopping sites and digital content where passengers can use their points, thereby increasing passenger satisfaction.

[0049] It is possible to monitor the usage of affiliated services in real time and provide discount coupons to passengers at the optimal timing. It is possible to build a system that monitors the usage of affiliated services in real time and, for example, provides discount coupons to passengers at the optimal timing. For example, a discount coupon is provided just before a passenger uses an affiliated service. In this way, it is possible to increase passenger satisfaction by monitoring the usage of affiliated services in real time and providing discount coupons to passengers at the optimal timing.

[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] The planned alighting station input unit can predict and suggest a planned alighting station based on the passenger's past riding history. For example, it can suggest the next alighting station based on the station where the passenger has frequently alighted in the past. This reduces the effort required for input by predicting and suggesting a planned alighting station based on the passenger's past riding history. It can also analyze data on the time periods and days of the week that passengers have used the service in the past and prioritize suggesting the most frequently used stations. Furthermore, it can record the stations that passengers have used to attend specific events or occasions and suggest those stations when a similar event is approaching.

[0052] The planned alighting station input unit can automatically detect the planned alighting station using the smartphone's location information, simplifying input. For example, when a passenger approaches a specific station, that station is suggested as the planned alighting station. This allows the planned alighting station to be automatically detected using the smartphone's location information, simplifying input. Also, if a passenger frequently uses a specific route, stations on that route can be suggested preferentially. Furthermore, it is possible to calculate the time it will take for the passenger to reach their destination in real time and suggest the optimal alighting station.

[0053] The planned alighting station input unit can input the planned alighting station using voice recognition technology, enabling hands-free operation. For example, the planned alighting station can be input simply by a passenger saying, "I'll get off at the next station." This allows the planned alighting station to be input using voice recognition technology, enabling hands-free operation. In addition, passengers can perform multiple operations at once by speaking specific phrases. Furthermore, voice recognition technology can also be used to simplify the operation when passengers change their planned alighting station.

[0054] The planned disembarking station input unit can add a chat function to promote communication with other passengers. For example, when a planned disembarking station is input, a chat function for communicating with other passengers can be added. This allows the addition of a chat function to promote communication with other passengers. Passengers can also share information about their planned disembarking stations. Furthermore, passengers can also share information about stations they will use to participate in specific events or activities.

[0055] The seat prediction unit can predict seat availability by taking into account external data such as weather or event information. For example, a system can be constructed that predicts seat availability by taking into account weather data. This allows for improved prediction accuracy by taking into account external data such as weather and event information when predicting seat availability. Furthermore, when a specific event is held, the number of passengers attending the event can be predicted and seat availability can be adjusted. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain weather and event information in real time and update the prediction.

[0056] The seat prediction unit can analyze the congestion status inside the vehicle in real time and predict seat availability. For example, a system can be constructed in which the generation AI analyzes the congestion status inside the vehicle in real time and predicts seat availability. This allows for real-time analysis of the congestion status inside the vehicle and prediction of seat availability, improving prediction accuracy. It can also analyze camera footage inside the vehicle to evaluate the degree of congestion. Furthermore, it is possible to analyze passenger movement patterns and identify time periods and sections where congestion is expected.

[0057] The seat prediction unit can predict seat availability by taking into account the operation status of other means of transport. For example, a system can be constructed that predicts seat availability by taking into account the operation status of other means of transport.

[0062] The point allocating unit can introduce a ranking system in which passengers compete with each other for points. For example, in order to encourage passengers to give up their seats, a ranking system in which passengers compete with each other for points is introduced. By introducing a ranking system in which passengers compete with each other for points, it is possible to encourage passengers to give up their seats. It is also possible to provide benefits to passengers who rank highly. Furthermore, it is also possible to update the ranking system in real time so that passengers can always check their ranking.

[0063] Generative AI can analyze passenger behavior patterns and make seat-sharing suggestions at the optimal time. For example, we will build a system that analyzes passenger behavior patterns and makes seat-sharing suggestions at the optimal time. This will allow generative AI to analyze passenger behavior patterns and make seat-sharing suggestions at the optimal time, thereby encouraging seat-sharing. It will also be possible to make suggestions to passengers about giving up their seats when they approach their planned disembarkation station. Furthermore, by recording passenger behavior patterns and analyzing them later, it will be possible to make better suggestions.

[0064] The generation AI can analyze passengers' past history of giving up their seats and customize rewards.

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.

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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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).

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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."

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.
