As a result, the generation AI operation support system allows a user to intuitively operate the generation AI and visually and audibly confirm the output results of the generation AI.
[0029] A generation AI operation support system according to an embodiment includes a screen sharing unit, an audio input unit, and an audio output unit. The screen sharing unit shares a user's screen. For example, the screen sharing unit shares the user's desktop screen with other users in real time. The screen sharing unit can also select and share a specific application screen. The screen sharing unit also provides a function that allows other users to add comments and annotations during screen sharing. For example, participants can add comments in real time during a presentation. The audio input unit issues audio instructions to the generation AI. For example, the audio input unit allows a user to issue an audio instruction such as "display the next slide," and the generation AI operates according to the instruction. The audio input unit also automatically translates audio instructions in different languages, providing a multilingual function for the generation AI. For example, it translates instructions in English into Japanese and executes them. The audio output unit communicates the output results of the generation AI via audio. For example, the audio output unit reads out the text generated by the generation AI. The audio output unit also provides a function that outputs the content generated by the generation AI in combination with music and sound effects.

[0030] The screen sharing unit can analyze user operations in real time and suggest optimal operating procedures. For example, the generation AI in the screen sharing unit monitors user operations in real time and analyzes the flow of operations. For example, if a user is working with multiple windows open, the generation AI will suggest the optimal window switching procedure. The screen sharing unit also records the user's operation history and automatically generates an operating guide that can be played back later. For example, the generation AI records the user's operations in real time and automatically generates an operating guide based on that operation history. This makes it possible to optimize user operations and improve efficiency.
[0031] The screen sharing unit can record the user's operation history and automatically generate an operation guide that can be played back later.

For example, if a user says, "Show the next slide," an appropriate prompt is generated. The voice input unit also provides a function that analyzes the content of a user's utterance and allows the generation AI to suggest the optimal operating procedure. For example, if a user says, "What should I do?", the generation AI suggests the operating procedure. This allows the optimal prompt to be generated based on the content of the user's utterance, making operations more efficient.
[0035] The audio output unit can adjust the tone and speed of the audio to suit the user's hearing characteristics. For example, the audio output unit provides a function in which the generation AI analyzes the user's hearing characteristics and adjusts the tone and speed of the audio. For example, if the user has difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds, the audio tone is lowered. The audio output unit also provides a function to adjust the speed of the audio based on the user's hearing characteristics. For example, if the user has difficulty understanding fast speech, the audio speed is slowed down. This makes it possible to optimize the audio output to suit the user's hearing characteristics.
[0036] The voice input unit can add a function that automatically translates voice instructions in different languages, enabling the generation AI to support multiple languages. The voice input unit, for example, allows the generation AI to automatically translate voice instructions in different languages and provide the corresponding function. For example, it translates instructions in English into Japanese and executes them. The voice input unit also provides a function that analyzes the content of the user's speech and automatically generates the optimal prompt. For example, if the user says, "Display the next slide," it generates an appropriate prompt. This makes it possible to automatically translate voice instructions in different languages and achieve multilingual support.
[0037] The audio output unit can integrate a function to output the content generated by the generation AI in combination with music and sound effects. The audio output unit provides, for example, a function to output the content generated by the generation AI in combination with music and sound effects.

[0067] The generative AI operation assistance system can also analyze the user's emotions and make suggestions to simplify operations if the user is feeling stressed. For example, if the user has a confused expression, the system will make suggestions to simplify operations. It can also use its emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotions and provide interactive feedback to elicit positive emotions. For example, it can display compliments when the user smiles. This can reduce the user's stress and simplify operations.
[0068] The generative AI operation support system can further integrate a function that allows other users to add comments and annotations in real time. For example, it can provide a function that allows other users to add comments in real time while sharing a screen. For example, participants can add questions or opinions as comments during a presentation. It can also provide a function that allows other users to add annotations in real time. For example, they can write directly on the screen. This can provide a function that facilitates collaborative work.
[0069] The generative AI operation assistance system can further analyze the user's emotions and provide interactive feedback to elicit positive emotions. For example, it can display a compliment when the user smiles. It can also provide a function to monitor the user's emotions in real time and provide feedback according to the emotion. For example, it can display an encouraging message when the user is confused. This can elicit positive emotions from the user and improve the operation experience.
[0070] The generative AI operation assistance system can further include a prediction unit that predicts user operations and suggests the next operation. For example, if a user frequently performs a specific operation, that operation can be automatically suggested. The prediction unit can also predict and suggest the next operation that the user is likely to perform based on the user's past operation history. For example, it can predict the operation that the user will always perform after opening a specific application and suggest that operation. This can make user operations more efficient and improve work speed.
[0071] The generative AI operation support system can further analyze the content of user utterances and automatically generate the optimal prompt. For example, if a user says, "Show the next slide," an appropriate prompt is generated. It can also provide a function that analyzes the content of user utterances and allows the generative AI to suggest the optimal operating procedure. For example, if a user says, "What should I do?", the generative AI will suggest the operating procedure. This allows the system to generate the optimal prompt based on the content of user utterances, making operations more efficient.
[0072] The generative AI operation assistance system can further adjust the tone and speed of the voice to suit the user's hearing characteristics. For example, if the user has difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds, the voice tone can be lowered. The system can also adjust the voice speed based on the user's hearing characteristics. For example, if the user has difficulty understanding fast speech, the voice speed can be slowed down. This allows the voice output to be optimized to suit the user's hearing characteristics.
[0073] The generative AI operation assistance system can further analyze the user's emotions and output encouraging messages if the user has negative emotions. For example, if the user sounds tired, it can provide encouraging words. It can also provide a function to monitor the user's emotions in real time and provide feedback according to their emotions. For example, if the user seems confused, it can display an encouraging message. This can reduce the user's negative emotions and improve the operation experience.
[0074] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0075] Step 1: The screen sharing section shares the user's screen. For example, the user's desktop screen can be shared with other users in real time. It is also possible to select and share a specific application screen. Furthermore, it provides a function that allows other users to add comments and annotations while the screen is being shared. For example, participants can add comments in real time during a presentation. Step 2: The voice input unit issues voice instructions to the generation AI. For example, the user can issue a voice instruction such as "Display the next slide," and the generation AI will act in accordance with that instruction. The voice input unit also automatically translates voice instructions in different languages, providing the generation AI with the ability to support multiple languages. For example, it can translate instructions in English into Japanese and execute them. Step 3: The audio output unit communicates the output results of the generation AI by voice. For example, the text generated by the generation AI is read aloud. The audio output unit also provides a function to output the content generated by the generation AI in combination with music and sound effects. For example, background music can be added during a presentation.

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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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).
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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."
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.

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.
