[0028] (Example 1) The manual creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to supplement the small details that are omitted from recipes, business procedures, and manuals intended for intermediate and advanced users, creating ultra-detailed manuals that are easy for beginners to understand. This allows the manual creation system to create ultra-detailed manuals that are easy for even beginners to understand.
[0029] A manual creation system according to an embodiment includes a text completion unit, an explanatory image generation unit, an explanatory video generation unit, and a procedure generation unit. The text completion unit analyzes the text of existing procedure manuals and manuals and completes omitted parts. For example, the text completion unit completes an ambiguous expression such as "add an appropriate amount of salt" in a cooking recipe to specifically "add one teaspoon of salt." The text completion unit also completes an instruction such as "attach parts" in a technical manual to specifically "attach part A to part B." The text completion unit also completes an instruction such as "solve problems" in an educational guide to specifically "solve problem 1." The explanatory image generation unit generates explanatory images corresponding to each step in the completed procedure. For example, the explanatory image generation unit generates an explanatory image that visually illustrates the step "chop an onion" in a cooking procedure manual. The explanatory image generation unit also generates an explanatory image that visually illustrates the step "attach parts" in a technical manual. The explanatory image generation unit generates explanatory images that visually show the procedure of "solving a problem" in the educational guide. The explanatory video generation unit generates explanatory videos corresponding to each procedure in the supplemented procedure manual. For example, the explanatory video generation unit generates an explanatory video that visually shows the procedure of "chopping an onion" in a cooking procedure manual. The explanatory video generation unit generates an explanatory video that visually shows the procedure of "attaching a part" in a technical manual. The explanatory video generation unit generates an explanatory video that visually shows the procedure of "solving a problem" in the educational guide. The procedure manual generation unit analyzes a video of an actual task and creates a procedure manual from the video. For example, the procedure manual generation unit analyzes a video of a cooking task and creates a procedure manual by converting each procedure into text. The procedure manual generation unit analyzes a video of a technical task and creates a procedure manual by converting each procedure into text. The procedure manual generation unit analyzes a video of an educational task and creates a procedure manual by converting each procedure into text. As a result, the manual creation system according to the embodiment can create highly detailed manuals that are easy to understand even for beginners. For example, when a beginner cook cooks while following a recipe, the specific instructions, explanatory images, and explanatory videos allow the cook to proceed smoothly with the work.Furthermore, when handing over work, having detailed procedures can reduce the burden of handing over. Furthermore, even in fields where there is a shortage of successors, having detailed procedures makes it easier to train successors.
[0030] The text completion unit can learn the user's past operation history and preferences and provide individually optimized completion content. For example, the text completion unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past operation history and learn specific operation patterns and preferences. For example, in a cooking recipe, the text completion unit provides optimal completion content based on the seasonings and quantities that the user has used in the past. In addition, in a technical manual, the text completion unit provides optimal completion content based on the operation procedures the user has performed in the past. In addition, in an educational guide, the text completion unit provides optimal completion content based on the trends in problems the user has solved in the past. This makes it possible to provide completion content that is optimized for the user.
[0031] The text completion unit can provide more reliable completion content by referring to related scientific data and statistical information. For example, when the generation AI completes a cooking recipe, the text completion unit can refer to nutritional data to provide health-conscious completion content. For example, the text completion unit can complete specific instructions based on appropriate amounts of salt and calories. In addition, the text completion unit can complete optimal operating procedures in technical manuals by referring to product performance data. In addition, in educational guides, the text completion unit can complete effective learning procedures by referring to statistical data on learning effects. This allows for the provision of highly reliable completion content.
[0032] The text completion unit provides completion content that corresponds to different languages and cultures, making it possible to accommodate international users. For example, the text completion unit uses a generation AI to provide completion content that corresponds to different languages. For example, it can complete instruction manuals in multiple languages, such as English, Japanese, and French, making it possible to accommodate international users. The text completion unit also provides completion content that corresponds to different cultures. For example, in cooking recipes, it provides completion content that corresponds to the food culture of each country. The text completion unit also provides completion content that corresponds to the culture of different industries. For example, in technical manuals, it provides completion content that corresponds to the technical standards of each country. This makes it possible to accommodate international users.
[0033] The text completion unit can also accommodate visually impaired or hearing impaired individuals using voice input or voice output. For example, the text completion unit allows visually impaired individuals to complete a procedure manual using voice input from a generation AI. For example, the unit explains the procedure through voice and generates the completed content based on the user's voice input. The text completion unit also uses voice output to allow hearing impaired individuals to complete a procedure manual. For example, the unit outputs the contents of the procedure manual through voice and adjusts it so that it is easy for the user to hear. The text completion unit also provides completed content tailored to the needs of visually impaired or hearing impaired individuals. For example, the unit adjusts the font size or color of the procedure manual to make it easier for visually impaired individuals to read. This makes it possible to accommodate visually impaired or hearing impaired individuals.
[0034] The explanatory image generation unit can use 3D models to provide more three-dimensional, easy-to-understand images. For example, the explanatory image generation unit uses a generation AI to generate three-dimensional explanatory images corresponding to each step in a cooking manual using 3D models. For example, in a cooking manual, the explanatory image generation unit uses a 3D model to show how to cut ingredients. In a technical manual, the explanatory image generation unit also uses a 3D model to show how to install parts. In an educational guide, the explanatory image generation unit also uses a 3D model to show how to solve problems. This makes it possible to provide three-dimensional, easy-to-understand explanatory images.
[0035] The explanatory image generation unit can provide images from the optimal viewpoint, taking into account the user's viewpoint or operation position. For example, the explanatory image generation unit generates explanatory images from the optimal viewpoint, taking into account the user's viewpoint using a generation AI. For example, in a cooking procedure manual, images are provided from a viewpoint that is easy for the user to see. The explanatory image generation unit also generates explanatory images from the optimal viewpoint, taking into account the user's operation position. For example, in a technical manual, images are provided from a viewpoint that is easy for the user to operate. The explanatory image generation unit also tracks the user's movements and generates explanatory images from the optimal viewpoint. For example, in an educational guide, images are provided from a viewpoint that is easy for the user to understand. This makes it possible to provide explanatory images from the optimal viewpoint, taking into account the user's viewpoint and operation position.
[0036] The explanatory video generation unit can automatically adjust the playback speed of the explanatory video according to the user's operation speed. For example, the explanatory video generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's operation speed and automatically adjust the playback speed of the explanatory video according to that speed. For example, in a cooking procedure manual, the playback speed of the video is adjusted to match the user's operation speed. Furthermore, in a technical manual, the explanatory video generation unit adjusts the playback speed of the video to match the user's operation speed. Furthermore, in an educational guide, the explanatory video generation unit adjusts the playback speed of the video to match the user's operation speed. This allows the playback speed of the explanatory video to be automatically adjusted according to the user's operation speed.
[0037] The explanatory video generation unit can update the video in real time according to the progress of the steps. For example, the explanatory video generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the progress of the steps and update the explanatory video in real time according to the situation. For example, in a cooking instruction manual, the video is updated according to the progress of the steps. Furthermore, in a technical manual, the explanatory video generation unit updates the video according to the progress of the steps. Furthermore, in an educational guide, the explanatory video is updated according to the progress of the steps. This allows the explanatory video to be updated in real time according to the progress of the steps.
[0038] The procedure manual generation unit can track the movements of workers in detail and generate optimal procedure manuals. For example, the procedure manual generation unit uses a generation AI to track the movements of workers in detail and generate optimal procedure manuals based on those movements. For example, in a cooking work video, the unit analyzes in detail how knives are used and how ingredients are cut, and reflects this in the procedure manual. In addition, in a technical work video, the procedure manual generation unit analyzes in detail how tools are used and how parts are installed, and reflects this in the procedure manual. In addition, in an educational work video, the procedure manual generation unit analyzes in detail how problems are solved and how explanations are given, and reflects this in the procedure manual. This makes it possible to track the movements of workers in detail and generate optimal procedure manuals.
[0039] The procedure manual generation unit can generate procedure manuals that are appropriate for the environment, taking into account background information about the work environment. For example, the procedure manual generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze background information about the work environment and generate procedure manuals based on that information. For example, for a video of work in a factory, the procedure manual generation unit generates procedure manuals that are appropriate for the work environment. Furthermore, for a video of work in an office environment, the procedure manual generation unit generates procedure manuals that are appropriate for the work environment. Furthermore, for a video of work outdoors, the procedure manual generation unit generates procedure manuals that are appropriate for the work environment. In this way, it is possible to generate procedure manuals that are appropriate for the environment, taking into account background information about the work environment.
[0040] The procedure manual generation unit can refer to work videos from different industries or fields and generate procedure manuals that incorporate knowledge from other fields. For example, the generation AI of the procedure manual generation unit refers to work videos from different industries and generates procedure manuals based on that knowledge. For example, the procedure manual generation unit refers to work videos from the manufacturing industry and generates procedure manuals that incorporate knowledge from other fields. Furthermore, the procedure manual generation unit refers to work videos from the medical field and generates procedure manuals that incorporate knowledge from other fields. Furthermore, the procedure manual generation unit refers to work videos from the education field and generates procedure manuals that incorporate knowledge from other fields. This makes it possible to generate procedure manuals that incorporate knowledge from other fields.
[0041] The procedure manual generation unit can update the contents of the procedure manual in real time and generate procedure manuals based on the latest information. For example, the procedure manual generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze work videos in real time and generate procedure manuals based on the latest information. For example, it generates procedure manuals that incorporate new technologies and methods. The procedure manual generation unit also updates the procedure manual in real time based on updated information in the database. For example, it generates procedure manuals that reflect new product information and technical data. The procedure manual generation unit also updates the procedure manual in real time based on sensor information. For example, it generates procedure manuals that reflect the situation on site. This makes it possible to generate procedure manuals based on the latest information in real time.
[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0043] The manual creation system can also be equipped with customization functions according to the user's learning style. For example, it can make extensive use of explanatory images and videos for visual learners, and enhance audio explanations for auditory learners. It can also provide interactive simulations for hands-on learners. This allows the system to provide manuals optimized for the user's learning style.
[0044] The text completion unit can learn the user's past operation history and preferences and provide individually optimized completion content. For example, in a cooking recipe, the unit provides optimal completion content based on the seasonings and quantities that the user has used in the past. In a technical manual, the unit provides optimal completion content based on the operation procedures the user has performed in the past. In an educational guide, the unit provides optimal completion content based on the trends in problems the user has solved in the past. This makes it possible to provide completion content that is optimized for the user.
[0045] The text completion unit provides completion content that corresponds to different languages and cultures, making it possible to accommodate international users. For example, the generation AI provides completion content that corresponds to different languages. For example, it can complete instruction manuals in multiple languages, such as English, Japanese, and French, to accommodate international users. It also provides completion content that corresponds to different cultures. For example, in cooking recipes, it provides completion content that corresponds to the food culture of each country. It also provides completion content that corresponds to the culture of different industries. For example, in technical manuals, it provides completion content that corresponds to the technical standards of each country. This makes it possible to accommodate international users.
[0046] The explanatory image generation unit can use 3D models to provide more three-dimensional, easy-to-understand images. For example, the generation AI uses 3D models to generate three-dimensional explanatory images corresponding to each step in a cooking manual. For example, in a cooking manual, a 3D model may be used to show how to cut ingredients. In a technical manual, a 3D model may be used to show how to install parts. In an educational guide, a 3D model may be used to show how to solve a problem. This allows the provision of three-dimensional, easy-to-understand explanatory images.
[0047] The explanatory video generation unit can automatically adjust the playback speed of the explanatory video according to the user's operation speed. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's operation speed and automatically adjusts the playback speed of the explanatory video according to that speed. For example, in a cooking procedure manual, the video playback speed is adjusted to match the user's operation speed. Also, in a technical manual, the video playback speed is adjusted to match the user's operation speed. Also, in an educational guide, the video playback speed is adjusted to match the user's operation speed. This allows the playback speed of the explanatory video to be automatically adjusted according to the user's operation speed.

The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.
[0108] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.
[0109] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0110] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0111] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 may also have a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.
[0112] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0113] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0114] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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).
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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."
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
