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

[0028] (Example 1) The telephone service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for preventing damage caused by special frauds such as bank transfer fraud. This system has the function of analyzing the contents of a call, determining the possibility of fraud, and intervening in the conversation as a third party. This allows the telephone service to determine the possibility of fraud in real time and intervene as a third party to prevent damage caused by fraud.

[0029] A telephone service according to an embodiment includes a conversation analysis unit, a fraud detection unit, and an intervention unit. The conversation analysis unit analyzes the content of a call. For example, the conversation analysis unit converts the content of the call into text data using speech recognition technology. The conversation analysis unit can also analyze the content of the call using natural language processing technology. The conversation analysis unit can also detect specific keywords or phrases in the content of the call. The fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the content of the call analyzed by the conversation analysis unit. For example, the fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of appearance of specific keywords or phrases. The fraud detection unit can also compare the results with a database of past fraud cases in real time. The fraud detection unit can also monitor changes in a user's emotions and consider any abnormal changes in emotions as factors that increase the possibility of fraud. The intervention unit intervenes in the conversation as a third party when the fraud detection unit detects the possibility of fraud. For example, the intervention unit questions the other party about suspicious points. The intervention unit can also point out inconsistencies to the user. The intervention unit can also provide appropriate advice to the user. As a result, the telephone service according to the embodiment can determine the possibility of fraud in real time and prevent fraud damage by intervening as a third party. For example, before the user believes the story of the fraudster, the AI ​​can intervene and point out suspicious points, allowing the user to become aware of the fraud. In addition, by recording and analyzing the contents of the call, it is possible to learn fraud techniques and improve the accuracy of future fraud detection.

[0030] The fraud detection unit can determine the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a call, the fraud detection unit detects specific voice tones and speaking patterns that increase the possibility of fraud. For example, it detects a hurried tone or a strong commanding tone and determines the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases. For example, if keywords such as "emergency," "money," and "password" appear frequently, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. This makes it possible to increase the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords.

[0031] The fraud detection unit can determine the possibility of fraud by comparing it with a database of past fraud cases in real time. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a call, the fraud detection unit compares it with a database of past fraud cases in real time. For example, it compares it with the latest fraud cases to determine whether fraud techniques have evolved. The fraud detection unit also analyzes the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases based on the database of past fraud cases to determine the possibility of fraud. For example, if the content of the current call contains keywords or phrases that were frequently used in past fraud cases, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. This makes it possible to increase the possibility of fraud by comparing it with a database of past fraud cases in real time.

[0032] The conversation analysis unit can also analyze background and environmental sounds during a call to determine the possibility of fraud. For example, in addition to analyzing the content of the call, the conversation analysis unit can also analyze background and environmental sounds during a call. For example, it can detect specific background sounds (e.g., office noise and traffic sounds) that are often used by fraudsters. The conversation analysis unit can also determine the possibility of fraud based on the background and environmental sounds. For example, if specific background sounds are heard frequently, it can determine that there is a high possibility of fraud. In this way, the possibility of fraud can be increased by analyzing background and environmental sounds.

[0033] The conversation analysis unit can compare the analysis results of the call content with the user's past call history to detect whether there is an abnormal pattern. For example, the conversation analysis unit compares the analysis results of the call content with the user's past call history to detect whether there is an abnormal pattern. For example, it issues a warning if there is a sudden request for money that has not been used in the past. The conversation analysis unit also analyzes the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases based on the past call history to detect abnormal patterns. For example, if the current call content contains keywords or phrases that were not frequently used in the past call history, it determines that there is an abnormal pattern. This makes it possible to detect abnormal patterns by comparing with the past call history.

[0034] The intervention unit not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence, thereby gaining the user's trust. For example, when the generative AI intervenes, the intervention unit not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence. For example, if what the scammer said differs from the actual facts, the intervention unit will present that evidence. The intervention unit also points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story to the user and presents concrete evidence, such as presenting past call records or related documents. In this way, the user's trust can be gained by presenting concrete evidence.

[0035] The intervention unit can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, the intervention unit can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, if the user has been scammed in the past, the intervention unit can provide advice based on that experience. The intervention unit can also provide the most effective questions and advice based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, the intervention unit can provide appropriate advice based on the user's past selection history and survey results. This allows the most effective questions and advice to be provided by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0036] The intervention unit can add a function to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request support. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, the intervention unit adds a function to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request support. For example, if the user receives a call that may be fraudulent, the intervention unit notifies the family. The intervention unit also automatically sends a notification requesting support to the user's family and friends. For example, it sends an email notification or an SMS notification. This makes it possible to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request support, thereby supporting the user.

[0037] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0038] In addition to analyzing the content of the call, the conversation analysis unit can also analyze background and environmental sounds during the call. For example, it can detect specific background sounds (such as office noise and traffic sounds) that are often used by fraudsters. The conversation analysis unit also determines the likelihood of fraud based on the background and environmental sounds. For example, if specific background sounds are heard frequently, it can determine that there is a high possibility of fraud. This allows the possibility of fraud to be increased by analyzing background and environmental sounds.

[0039] The intervention unit can add a function to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request their support. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, a function can be added to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request their support. For example, if the user receives a potentially fraudulent call, the family can be notified. The intervention unit also automatically sends a notification requesting support to the user's family and friends. For example, it sends an email notification or an SMS notification. This allows the user to be supported by automatically notifying the user's family and friends and requesting their support.

[0040] The conversation analysis unit can compare the analysis results of the call content with the user's past call history to detect whether there are any abnormal patterns. For example, the analysis results of the call content can be compared with the user's past call history to detect whether there are any abnormal patterns. For example, a warning can be issued if there is a sudden request for money that has not been used in the past. The conversation analysis unit can also analyze the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords or phrases based on the past call history to detect abnormal patterns. For example, if the content of the current call contains keywords or phrases that were not frequently used in the past call history, it can determine that there is an abnormal pattern. This makes it possible to detect abnormal patterns by comparing with the past call history.

[0041] The intervention unit not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence, thereby gaining the user's trust. For example, when the generative AI intervenes, it not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence. For example, if what the scammer said differs from the actual facts, it will present that evidence. The intervention unit also points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story to the user and presents concrete evidence, such as presenting past call records and related documents. In this way, it is possible to gain the user's trust by presenting concrete evidence.

[0042] The intervention unit can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, it can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, if the user has been scammed in the past, it can provide advice based on that experience. The intervention unit also provides the most effective questions and advice based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, it can provide appropriate advice based on the user's past selection history and survey results. This allows the most effective questions and advice to be provided by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0043] The fraud detection unit can determine the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a call, it detects specific voice tones and speaking patterns that increase the possibility of fraud. For example, it detects a hurried tone or a strong commanding tone and determines the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases. For example, if keywords such as "urgent," "money," and "password" appear frequently, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. This makes it possible to increase the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords.

[0044] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0045] Step 1: The conversation analysis unit analyzes the content of the call. For example, the conversation analysis unit converts the content of the call into text data using voice recognition technology. The conversation analysis unit can also analyze the content of the call using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the conversation analysis unit can detect specific keywords or phrases in the content of the call. Step 2: The fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the call content analyzed by the conversation analysis unit. For example, the fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords or phrases. The fraud detection unit can also compare the results with a database of past fraud cases in real time. Furthermore, the fraud detection unit can monitor changes in the user's emotions and consider any abnormal changes in emotions as factors that increase the possibility of fraud. Step 3: The intervention unit intervenes in the conversation as a third party when the fraud detection unit detects the possibility of fraud. For example, the intervention unit questions the other party about anything suspicious. The intervention unit can also point out any inconsistencies to the user. Furthermore, the intervention unit can provide the user with appropriate advice.

[0046] (Example 2) The telephone service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for preventing damage caused by special frauds such as bank transfer fraud. This system has the function of analyzing the contents of a call, determining the possibility of fraud, and intervening in the conversation as a third party. This allows the telephone service to determine the possibility of fraud in real time and intervene as a third party to prevent damage caused by fraud.

[0047] A telephone service according to an embodiment includes a conversation analysis unit, a fraud detection unit, and an intervention unit. The conversation analysis unit analyzes the content of a call. For example, the conversation analysis unit converts the content of the call into text data using speech recognition technology. The conversation analysis unit can also analyze the content of the call using natural language processing technology. The conversation analysis unit can also detect specific keywords or phrases in the content of the call. The fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the content of the call analyzed by the conversation analysis unit. For example, the fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of appearance of specific keywords or phrases. The fraud detection unit can also compare the results with a database of past fraud cases in real time. The fraud detection unit can also monitor changes in a user's emotions and consider any abnormal changes in emotions as factors that increase the possibility of fraud.

For example, the intervention unit questions the other party about suspicious points. The intervention unit can also point out inconsistencies to the user. The intervention unit can also provide appropriate advice to the user.

In addition, by recording and analyzing the contents of the call, it is possible to learn fraud techniques and improve the accuracy of future fraud detection.

[0048] The fraud detection unit can determine the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a call, the fraud detection unit detects specific voice tones and speaking patterns that increase the possibility of fraud. For example, it detects a hurried tone or a strong commanding tone and determines the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases. For example, if keywords such as "emergency," "money," and "password" appear frequently, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. This makes it possible to increase the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords.

[0049] The fraud detection unit can determine the possibility of fraud by comparing it with a database of past fraud cases in real time. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a call, the fraud detection unit compares it with a database of past fraud cases in real time. For example, it compares it with the latest fraud cases to determine whether fraud techniques have evolved. The fraud detection unit also analyzes the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases based on the database of past fraud cases to determine the possibility of fraud. For example, if the content of the current call contains keywords or phrases that were frequently used in past fraud cases, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. This makes it possible to increase the possibility of fraud by comparing it with a database of past fraud cases in real time.

[0050] The fraud detection unit monitors changes in the user's emotions, and can consider any abnormal changes in emotions as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit, for example, uses an emotion estimation function to monitor changes in the user's emotions during a call. For example, a sudden change in emotion, such as anxiety or fear, can be considered as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on changes in the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly begins to feel anxious, it can determine that there is a high possibility of fraud. In this way, the possibility of fraud can be increased by monitoring changes in the user's emotions.

[0051] The conversation analysis unit can also analyze background and environmental sounds during a call to determine the possibility of fraud. For example, in addition to analyzing the content of the call, the conversation analysis unit can also analyze background and environmental sounds during a call. For example, it can detect specific background sounds (e.g., office noise and traffic sounds) that are often used by fraudsters. The conversation analysis unit can also determine the possibility of fraud based on the background and environmental sounds. For example, if specific background sounds are heard frequently, it can determine that there is a high possibility of fraud. In this way, the possibility of fraud can be increased by analyzing background and environmental sounds.

[0052] The conversation analysis unit can compare the analysis results of the call content with the user's past call history to detect whether there is an abnormal pattern. For example, the conversation analysis unit compares the analysis results of the call content with the user's past call history to detect whether there is an abnormal pattern. For example, it issues a warning if there is a sudden request for money that has not been used in the past. The conversation analysis unit also analyzes the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases based on the past call history to detect abnormal patterns. For example, if the current call content contains keywords or phrases that were not frequently used in the past call history, it determines that there is an abnormal pattern. This makes it possible to detect abnormal patterns by comparing with the past call history.

[0053] The fraud detection unit can estimate the emotions of the other party on the call and consider the case where the fraudster is calm while the user is feeling anxious as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit can also estimate the emotions of the other party on the call, for example, using an emotion estimation function. For example, the case where the fraudster is calm while the user is feeling anxious can be considered as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the emotions of the other party on the call. For example, if the fraudster is calm while the user suddenly begins to feel anxious, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. In this way, the possibility of fraud can be increased by estimating the emotions of the other party on the call.

[0054] The intervention unit not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence, thereby gaining the user's trust. For example, when the generative AI intervenes, the intervention unit not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence. For example, if what the scammer said differs from the actual facts, the intervention unit will present that evidence. The intervention unit also points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story to the user and presents concrete evidence, such as presenting past call records or related documents. In this way, the user's trust can be gained by presenting concrete evidence.

[0055] The intervention unit can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, the intervention unit can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, if the user has been scammed in the past, the intervention unit can provide advice based on that experience. The intervention unit can also provide the most effective questions and advice based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, the intervention unit can provide appropriate advice based on the user's past selection history and survey results. This allows the most effective questions and advice to be provided by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0056] The intervention unit can use the emotion estimation function to intervene in a relaxed tone when the user is feeling anxious. For example, the intervention unit uses the emotion estimation function to have the generation AI intervene in a relaxed tone when the user is feeling anxious. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the generation AI provides advice in a calm voice. The intervention unit also intervenes in a relaxed tone based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly begins to feel anxious, the generation AI provides advice in a calm voice. In this way, by intervening in a relaxed tone when the user is feeling anxious, the user can be reassured.

[0057] The intervention unit can add a function to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request support. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, the intervention unit adds a function to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request support. For example, if the user receives a call that may be fraudulent, the intervention unit notifies the family. The intervention unit also automatically sends a notification requesting support to the user's family and friends. For example, it sends an email notification or an SMS notification. This makes it possible to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request support, thereby supporting the user.

[0058] The intervention unit estimates the emotions of the other party on the line and points out if the fraudster appears impatient, thereby making the user wary. The intervention unit, for example, uses an emotion estimation function to estimate the emotions of the other party on the line and points out if the fraudster appears impatient. For example, the intervention unit informs the user that the fraudster appears impatient, making the user wary. The intervention unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the emotions of the other party on the line. For example, if the fraudster appears impatient, the intervention unit determines that there is a high possibility of fraud and points out this to the user. In this way, the intervention unit can make the user wary by pointing out if the fraudster appears impatient.

[0059] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0060] In addition to analyzing the content of the call, the conversation analysis unit can also analyze background and environmental sounds during the call. For example, it can detect specific background sounds (such as office noise and traffic sounds) that are often used by fraudsters. The conversation analysis unit also determines the likelihood of fraud based on the background and environmental sounds. For example, if specific background sounds are heard frequently, it can determine that there is a high possibility of fraud. This allows the possibility of fraud to be increased by analyzing background and environmental sounds.

[0061] The fraud detection unit can monitor changes in the user's emotions and consider any abnormal changes in emotions as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. For example, an emotion estimation function can be used to monitor changes in the user's emotions during a call. For example, a sudden change in emotion, such as anxiety or fear, can be considered as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit can also determine the possibility of fraud based on changes in the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly begins to feel anxious, it can determine that there is a high possibility of fraud. In this way, the possibility of fraud can be increased by monitoring changes in the user's emotions.

[0062] The intervention unit can add a function to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request their support. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, a function can be added to automatically notify the user's family and friends and request their support. For example, if the user receives a potentially fraudulent call, the family can be notified. The intervention unit also automatically sends a notification requesting support to the user's family and friends. For example, it sends an email notification or an SMS notification. This allows the user to be supported by automatically notifying the user's family and friends and requesting their support.

[0063] The intervention unit can use the emotion estimation function to intervene in a relaxed tone when the user is feeling anxious. For example, using the emotion estimation function, the generation AI intervenes in a relaxed tone when the user is feeling anxious. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the generation AI provides advice in a calm voice. The intervention unit also intervenes in a relaxed tone based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user suddenly begins to feel anxious, the generation AI provides advice in a calm voice. In this way, by intervening in a relaxed tone when the user is feeling anxious, the user can be reassured.

[0064] The intervention unit estimates the emotions of the other party on the line and, if the fraudster appears impatient, points out this, thereby making the user wary. For example, the emotion estimation function is used to estimate the emotions of the other party on the line and, if the fraudster appears impatient, points out this. For example, the intervention unit informs the user that the fraudster appears impatient, thereby making the user wary. The intervention unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the emotions of the other party on the line. For example, if the fraudster appears impatient, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud and points out this to the user. In this way, the intervention unit can make the user wary by pointing out that the fraudster appears impatient.

[0065] The conversation analysis unit can compare the analysis results of the call content with the user's past call history to detect whether there are any abnormal patterns. For example, the analysis results of the call content can be compared with the user's past call history to detect whether there are any abnormal patterns. For example, a warning can be issued if there is a sudden request for money that has not been used in the past. The conversation analysis unit can also analyze the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords or phrases based on the past call history to detect abnormal patterns. For example, if the content of the current call contains keywords or phrases that were not frequently used in the past call history, it can determine that there is an abnormal pattern. This makes it possible to detect abnormal patterns by comparing with the past call history.

[0066] The fraud detection unit can estimate the emotions of the other party on the call and consider the case where the fraudster is calm while the user is feeling anxious as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. For example, the emotion estimation function can be used to estimate the emotions of the other party on the call. For example, the case where the fraudster is calm while the user is feeling anxious can be considered as a factor that increases the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the emotions of the other party on the call. For example, if the fraudster is calm while the user suddenly begins to feel anxious, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. In this way, the possibility of fraud can be increased by estimating the emotions of the other party on the call.

[0067] The intervention unit not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence, thereby gaining the user's trust. For example, when the generative AI intervenes, it not only points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story but also presents concrete evidence. For example, if what the scammer said differs from the actual facts, it will present that evidence. The intervention unit also points out inconsistencies in the scammer's story to the user and presents concrete evidence, such as presenting past call records and related documents. In this way, it is possible to gain the user's trust by presenting concrete evidence.

[0068] The intervention unit can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, when the generation AI intervenes, it can provide the most effective questions and advice by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, if the user has been scammed in the past, it can provide advice based on that experience. The intervention unit also provides the most effective questions and advice based on the user's behavioral patterns and preferences. For example, it can provide appropriate advice based on the user's past selection history and survey results. This allows the most effective questions and advice to be provided by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns and preferences.

[0069] The fraud detection unit can determine the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords. For example, when the generation AI analyzes the content of a call, it detects specific voice tones and speaking patterns that increase the possibility of fraud. For example, it detects a hurried tone or a strong commanding tone and determines the possibility of fraud. The fraud detection unit also determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords and phrases. For example, if keywords such as "urgent," "money," and "password" appear frequently, it determines that there is a high possibility of fraud. This makes it possible to increase the possibility of fraud by detecting specific phrases and keywords.

[0070] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0071] Step 1: The conversation analysis unit analyzes the content of the call. For example, the conversation analysis unit converts the content of the call into text data using voice recognition technology. The conversation analysis unit can also analyze the content of the call using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, the conversation analysis unit can detect specific keywords or phrases in the content of the call. Step 2: The fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the call content analyzed by the conversation analysis unit. For example, the fraud detection unit determines the possibility of fraud based on the frequency of occurrence of specific keywords or phrases. The fraud detection unit can also compare the results with a database of past fraud cases in real time. Furthermore, the fraud detection unit can monitor changes in the user's emotions and consider any abnormal changes in emotions as factors that increase the possibility of fraud. Step 3: The intervention unit intervenes in the conversation as a third party when the fraud detection unit detects the possibility of fraud. For example, the intervention unit questions the other party about anything suspicious. The intervention unit can also point out any inconsistencies to the user. Furthermore, the intervention unit can provide the user with appropriate advice.

[0072] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

[0118] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice 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 voice data.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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).

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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."

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.
