[0028] (Example 1) The telephone answering system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that answers telephone calls on behalf of the user, and the generation AI handles reservations, schedule confirmation, and converts the contents of the call into chat. This reduces the burden on the user and enables the system to process tasks efficiently.
[0029] A telephone answering system according to an embodiment includes a telephone answering unit, a reservation unit, a schedule confirmation unit, and a chat conversion unit. The telephone answering unit answers telephone calls on behalf of a user. For example, if a user is out or in a meeting and cannot answer the phone, the telephone answering unit automatically receives the call and asks the caller for their business. The generation AI uses speech recognition technology to understand what the caller is saying and generates an appropriate response. For example, the generation AI responds with a response such as, "Hello, this is an automated response system. How can I help you?" The reservation unit calls multiple restaurants to check availability and makes a reservation. For example, if a user requests a restaurant reservation, the reservation unit calls the specified restaurant, checks availability, and makes the reservation. The generation AI makes a call based on information such as the user's desired restaurant and date and time and makes the reservation. The schedule confirmation unit checks the user's schedule. For example, if a user is in a meeting and cannot answer the phone, the schedule confirmation unit checks the user's schedule, determines when the meeting ends, and responds at that time. The generation AI generates a response based on the user's schedule information. The chat conversion unit converts the call content into text and displays it in chat format. For example, if a user wants to check the contents of a telephone conversation later, the chat conversion unit converts the contents of the call into text and displays it in chat format. The generation AI converts the contents of the call into text based on an instruction to convert the contents of the call into text. This allows the telephone answering system according to the embodiment to reduce the burden on the user and process tasks efficiently. For example, the user can respond to important calls without missing them even while in a meeting. It also eliminates the need to call multiple stores. Furthermore, by checking the contents of the call in chat format, the user can review the contents later.
[0030] The telephone answering unit learns the user's past call history and generates the optimal response for each caller. For example, the telephone answering unit analyzes the user's past call history and learns the optimal response pattern for each caller. For example, polite language is used for certain callers and casual language for others. The telephone answering unit also understands the preferences and tendencies of the caller based on the past call history and generates the optimal response. For example, a response is generated based on the caller's frequently used phrases and topics. Furthermore, the telephone answering unit predicts the caller's emotions and reactions based on the past call history and generates the optimal response. For example, the content and tone of the response are adjusted based on how the caller has responded in the past. In this way, optimal responses are generated based on the past call history, improving the response to each caller.
[0031] The telephone answering unit translates the contents of a call in real time, making it possible to handle calls from parties that speak different languages. The telephone answering unit, for example, translates the contents of a call in real time and makes it possible to handle calls from parties that speak different languages. For example, real-time translation is performed between a user speaking Japanese and a party that speaks English, achieving smooth communication. The telephone answering unit also translates the contents of a call in real time and makes it possible to handle multiple languages. For example, it makes it possible to handle calls from parties that speak multiple languages, such as French and Spanish. Furthermore, the telephone answering unit translates the contents of a call in real time and makes it possible to handle technical terms and industry jargon. For example, it translates the contents of a call that include technical terms from specific fields, such as medicine or law. This makes it possible to handle calls from parties that speak different languages, making international communication smoother.
[0032] The telephone answering unit not only answers telephone calls but also automatically responds to emails and messaging apps. The telephone answering unit not only answers telephone calls but also automatically responds to emails and messaging apps.

For example, the telephone answering unit automatically generates and sends a reply to a message received by a user. Furthermore, the telephone answering unit supports multiple email accounts and messaging apps. For example, if a user uses multiple email accounts or messaging apps, an automatic response is provided for each account. This reduces the communication burden on the user by automatically responding to emails and messaging apps as well as phone calls.
[0033] The telephone answering unit makes suggestions and reminders taking into consideration the user's preferences and past behavioral patterns. The telephone answering unit makes suggestions and reminders taking into consideration the user's preferences and past behavioral patterns, for example. For example, it suggests making a reservation at a restaurant that the user frequently visits. The telephone answering unit also makes reminders based on the user's past behavioral patterns. For example, it reminds the user of tasks and events that they regularly perform. Furthermore, the telephone answering unit makes customized suggestions based on the user's preferences and behavioral patterns. For example, it suggests events and services that the user might be interested in. In this way, by making suggestions and reminders that take into consideration the user's preferences and behavioral patterns, convenience for the user is improved.
[0034] The reservation unit learns the user's past reservation history and suggests the most suitable restaurant based on their preferences and tendencies. For example, the reservation unit analyzes the user's past reservation history, learns their preferences and tendencies, and suggests the most suitable restaurant. For example, it prioritizes suggestions of restaurants that the user frequently visits. The reservation unit also understands the user's preferences and tendencies based on the past reservation history and makes customized suggestions. For example, it suggests restaurants that offer the user's favorite dishes and services. Furthermore, the reservation unit predicts the user's preferences and tendencies based on the past reservation history and suggests new restaurants. For example, it suggests new restaurants that the user might be interested in. In this way, user satisfaction is improved by suggesting the most suitable restaurant based on the user's past reservation history.
[0035] The reservation unit analyzes store congestion status and reviews in real time to select the optimal reservation destination. The reservation unit, for example, analyzes store congestion status in real time to select the optimal reservation destination. For example, reservations are made during less crowded times. The reservation unit also analyzes store reviews in real time to select stores with high ratings. For example, stores with high user ratings are selected preferentially. Furthermore, the reservation unit suggests the optimal reservation destination based on the congestion status and reviews. For example, it suggests stores where the user can spend time comfortably. In this way, the optimal reservation destination can be selected by analyzing store congestion status and reviews in real time.
[0036] The reservation unit not only makes reservations but also automatically handles cancellation and change procedures. For example, the reservation unit not only makes reservations but also automatically handles cancellation and change procedures. For example, if a user changes their plans, the reservation unit automatically cancels the reservation and makes a new reservation. Furthermore, because the reservation unit automatically handles cancellation and change procedures, it saves the user the trouble of having to do it manually. For example, the user simply issues a cancellation or change instruction, and the reservation unit automatically handles the procedure. Furthermore, because the reservation unit quickly handles cancellation and change procedures, the user can smoothly change their plans. For example, the reservation unit handles cancellation and change procedures in real time and notifies the user immediately. In this way, not only reservations but also cancellation and change procedures are handled automatically, saving the user the trouble of having to do it manually.
[0037] The reservation unit manages multiple reservations collectively and proposes an optimal schedule. The reservation unit, for example, manages multiple reservations collectively and proposes an optimal schedule. For example, if a user has multiple reservations, the reservation unit manages them collectively and proposes an optimal schedule. The reservation unit also adjusts multiple reservations to match the user's schedule. For example, it adjusts reservations to match the user's free time. Furthermore, because the reservation unit manages multiple reservations collectively, the user can efficiently manage their schedule. For example, the reservation unit automatically adjusts the schedule and notifies the user. In this way, by managing multiple reservations collectively and proposing an optimal schedule, the user's schedule management becomes more efficient.
[0038] The schedule confirmation unit updates the user's schedule in real time and responds immediately if any changes occur. The schedule confirmation unit, for example, updates the user's schedule in real time and responds immediately if any changes occur. For example, if the time of a meeting is changed, the schedule confirmation unit automatically adjusts the response. The schedule confirmation unit also monitors the user's schedule in real time and immediately notifies the user if any changes occur. For example, if the user changes their plans, the schedule confirmation unit immediately notifies the user. Furthermore, since the schedule confirmation unit updates the user's schedule in real time, the user can smoothly manage their schedule. For example, the schedule confirmation unit automatically updates the schedule and notifies the user. In this way, by updating the user's schedule in real time and responding immediately if any changes occur, schedule management becomes more efficient.
[0039] The schedule confirmation unit suggests optimal break times and reminders based on the user's schedule. The schedule confirmation unit suggests optimal break times based on the user's schedule, for example. For example, suggesting a break after a long meeting. The schedule confirmation unit also suggests reminders based on the user's schedule. For example, setting a reminder before an important task or event. Furthermore, the schedule confirmation unit makes customized suggestions based on the user's schedule. For example, suggesting optimal break times and reminders based on the user's work patterns and health data. In this way, by suggesting optimal break times and reminders based on the user's schedule, the user's efficiency is improved.
[0040] The schedule confirmation unit not only manages schedules, but also manages tasks and projects. The schedule confirmation unit, for example, not only manages schedules but also manages tasks. For example, it automatically organizes and prioritizes the user's tasks. The schedule confirmation unit also manages projects. For example, it manages the progress of the user's projects and suggests necessary tasks. Furthermore, the schedule confirmation unit integrates schedule management, task management, and project management. For example, it manages the progress of tasks and projects based on the user's schedule. This improves the user's work efficiency by managing not only schedules but also tasks and projects.
[0041] The schedule confirmation unit suggests the optimal means of transportation and route based on the user's schedule. The schedule confirmation unit suggests the optimal means of transportation based on the user's schedule, for example. For example, it suggests a train or taxi depending on the location of a meeting. The schedule confirmation unit also suggests the optimal route based on the user's schedule. For example, it suggests the shortest route based on traffic information. Furthermore, the schedule confirmation unit customizes and suggests means of transportation and routes based on the user's schedule. For example, it suggests the optimal means of transportation and route based on the user's preferences and past travel history. In this way, by suggesting the optimal means of transportation and route based on the user's schedule, travel efficiency is improved.
[0042] The chat conversion unit summarizes the contents of the call and extracts and displays only the important points. For example, the chat conversion unit summarizes the contents of the call and extracts and displays only the important points. For example, it displays a concise summary of the main points of the conversation. The chat conversion unit also summarizes the contents of the call in real time and extracts the important points. For example, it picks out and displays particularly important information from the conversation. Furthermore, the chat conversion unit efficiently summarizes the contents of the call using an algorithm for summarizing the contents of the call. For example, it automatically summarizes the contents of the call using natural language processing technology. In this way, the contents of the call can be summarized and only the important points can be extracted and displayed, allowing for efficient understanding of the information.
[0043] The chat conversion unit automatically classifies the content of the call and provides related information as a link. The chat conversion unit, for example, automatically classifies the content of the call and provides related information as a link. For example, websites and materials related to the content of the conversation are displayed as links. The chat conversion unit also classifies the content of the call in real time and provides related information. For example, information related to topics mentioned in the conversation is displayed as a link. Furthermore, the chat conversion unit efficiently classifies the content of the call using an algorithm for classifying the content of the call. For example, the chat conversion unit automatically classifies the content of the call using machine learning technology. This automatically classifies the content of the call and provides related information as a link, making it easier to search for and refer to information.
[0044] The chat conversion unit not only converts the contents of phone calls into chats, but also converts the contents of voice memos and video calls into text. The chat conversion unit, for example, not only converts the contents of phone calls into chats, but also converts the contents of voice memos into text. For example, it automatically converts voice memos recorded by a user into text. The chat conversion unit also converts the contents of video calls into text. For example, it converts the contents of conversations during video calls into text in real time. Furthermore, the chat conversion unit efficiently converts the contents of voice memos and video calls into text using an algorithm for converting the contents of voice memos and video calls into text. For example, it automatically converts the contents of voice memos and video calls into text using voice recognition technology or video analysis technology. This converts not only the contents of phone calls but also the contents of voice memos and video calls into text, making it convenient for checking later.
[0045] The chat conversion unit links the chat content with other applications and utilizes it for task management and project management. For example, the chat conversion unit links the chat content with a task management application and automatically generates tasks. For example, tasks mentioned in the conversation are automatically added to the task management application. The chat conversion unit also links with a project management application to manage the progress of a project. For example, the project progress mentioned in the conversation is automatically reflected in the project management application. Furthermore, the chat conversion unit efficiently synchronizes data using an API for linking with other applications. For example, the chat content is sent to other applications in real time and utilized for task management and project management. In this way, linking the chat content with other applications makes task management and project management more efficient.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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).
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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."
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.

[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
