Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The personal travel plan generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates and proposes optimal travel plans simply by the user inputting "when and where they want to go." As a result, the personal travel plan generation system automatically creates travel plans based on the user's wishes and also takes into account places that can be visited during business hours, eliminating the need for detailed advance research.
[0029] A personal travel plan generation system according to an embodiment includes a travel plan generation unit, a business hours consideration unit, and an additional request reflection unit. The travel plan generation unit generates an optimal travel plan based on a user's input of "when and where they want to go." For example, if a user inputs "I want to go to Tokyo next Saturday," the generation AI collects information on tourist spots and events in Tokyo based on the schedule and proposes an optimal route. The generation AI receives inputs from the user, including prompts containing instructions on what the user wants the generation AI to do. The generation AI generates a travel plan based on the prompts. The business hours consideration unit considers places that can be visited within business hours based on the travel plan generated by the travel plan generation unit. For example, if a user inputs "I want to eat a famous ramen," the generation AI checks the business hours of the ramen restaurant and adjusts the plan so that the visit is within business hours. This eliminates the need to worry about the restaurant actually being closed. The additional request reflection unit reflects the user's additional requests based on the places considered by the business hours consideration unit. For example, if a user inputs "I want to stop by Tokyo Tower," the generation AI considers the request and proposes an optimal route that includes Tokyo Tower. The plan can also be adjusted to suit the user's preferences. This allows the personal travel plan generation system to allow the user to easily create the most suitable travel plan.
[0030] The travel plan generation unit can learn the user's past travel history and preferences and generate individually customized travel plans. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's past travel history and generates a travel plan that suits the user's preferences based on data such as places visited, length of stay, and ratings. For example, if a tourist spot visited in the past has a high rating, similar tourist spots can be included in the new plan. This makes it possible to provide a customized travel plan based on the user's past travel history and preferences.
[0031] The travel plan generation unit can analyze a user's social media posts and photos and propose travel plans that reflect the user's interests and concerns. For example, the generation AI in the travel plan generation unit analyzes a user's social media posts and extracts frequently used keywords and hashtags. For example, if a user frequently uses tags such as "#cafehopping" and "#artgallery," the unit will propose travel plans that include cafes and art galleries. This makes it possible to provide travel plans that reflect the user's interests and concerns based on the user's social media posts and photos.
[0032] The business hours consideration unit checks store hours and congestion status in real time and can suggest the optimal time to visit. For example, the generation AI checks store hours in real time and includes in the plan only those locations that are open during the time the user visits. For example, it automatically excludes stores that are closed. This allows the unit to check store hours and congestion status in real time and suggest the optimal time to visit.
[0033] The business hours consideration unit can propose an efficient route by taking into account the user's means of transportation and traffic conditions. For example, the generation AI considers the user's means of transportation (walking, car, public transportation, etc.) and proposes the optimal route. For example, if traveling by foot, it proposes a short route. This makes it possible to propose an efficient route by taking into account the user's means of transportation and traffic conditions.
[0034] The business hours consideration unit automatically collects business hours information from different cities and countries and can propose global travel plans. For example, the generation AI automatically collects business hours information from different cities and countries and includes in the plan only places that are open during the time the user visits. For example, differences in business hours between countries are taken into account. This makes it possible to propose global travel plans based on business hours information from different cities and countries.
[0035] The business hours consideration unit can propose a reasonable plan by taking into account the user's health condition and physical condition. For example, the generation AI in the business hours consideration unit proposes a reasonable travel plan by taking into account the user's health condition and physical condition. For example, for a user who is not confident in their physical strength, a plan with short travel distances and plenty of rest time is proposed. This makes it possible to propose a reasonable plan by taking into account the user's health condition and physical condition.
[0036] The additional request reflection unit can analyze the user's additional requests in detail and generate a customized plan that meets the requests. For example, the additional request reflection unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's additional requests in detail and generate a customized plan that meets the requests. For example, in response to a request such as "I want to eat the local specialty XX," a plan that includes a restaurant that serves that specialty is proposed. This makes it possible to provide a customized plan that meets the user's additional requests.
[0037] The additional request reflection unit learns from the user's past feedback and can propose more accurate plans. For example, the generation AI learns from the user's past feedback and uses it to generate the next travel plan. For example, places that have been highly rated in the past can be included in the new plan. This makes it possible to provide more accurate plans based on the user's past feedback.
[0038] The additional request reflection unit can propose the optimal plan by taking into consideration the additional requests and feedback of other users. For example, the generation AI analyzes the additional requests and feedback of other users and proposes a plan that reflects particularly highly rated requests. For example, tourist spots that many users have given high ratings can be included in the new plan. This makes it possible to provide the optimal plan by taking into consideration the additional requests and feedback of other users.
[0039] The additional request reflection unit can automatically reflect additional requests according to different seasons and events and propose them to the user. For example, the generation AI collects seasonal specialty products and event information, and the additional request reflection unit automatically reflects additional requests based on that information. For example, in spring, a plan including famous cherry blossom viewing spots is proposed. This makes it possible to automatically reflect and propose additional requests according to different seasons and events.
[0040] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0041] The personal travel plan generation system may further include a health management unit that monitors the user's health condition. The health management unit collects data such as the user's heart rate, number of steps, and sleep time, and monitors the user's health condition in real time during the trip. For example, if the user feels tired, it may suggest taking a break. The health management unit may also automatically adjust a reasonable travel plan according to the user's health condition. This allows the user to enjoy their trip while maintaining their health.
[0042] The personal travel plan generation system can also include a diet management unit that takes into account the user's dietary restrictions and allergy information. The diet management unit suggests appropriate restaurants and meal plans based on the user's dietary restrictions and allergy information. For example, if the user requests gluten-free meals, the unit suggests plans that include restaurants that offer gluten-free menus. The diet management unit can also customize meal plans to suit the user's preferences. This allows the user to enjoy their meals with peace of mind.
[0043] The personal travel plan generation system may further include an interest reflection unit that reflects the user's hobbies and interests. The interest reflection unit suggests activities and events related to the travel plan based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if the user is a music lover, the interest reflection unit may suggest a plan that includes local live concerts and music festivals. The interest reflection unit may also provide special experiences tailored to the user's interests. This allows the user to enjoy a trip that suits their hobbies and interests.
[0044] The personal travel plan generation system may further include a pet companion unit that takes into account the user's pet. When a user travels with a pet, the pet companion unit suggests pet-friendly accommodations, restaurants, parks, etc. For example, when a user travels with a dog, the pet companion unit suggests a plan that includes a dog run where the dog can play and a pet-friendly cafe. The pet companion unit may also provide activities that take into consideration the health and safety of the pet. This allows the user to enjoy traveling with their pet.
[0045] The personal travel plan generation system may further include a budget management unit that takes the user's budget into consideration. The budget management unit proposes the optimal travel plan according to the user's budget. For example, if the user is traveling on a limited budget, the budget management unit may propose a plan that includes cost-effective accommodations and restaurants. The budget management unit may also provide activities that can be enjoyed to the maximum extent possible within the user's budget. This allows the user to enjoy their trip without worrying about the budget.
[0046] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0047] Step 1: The travel plan generation unit generates the optimal travel plan simply by the user inputting "when and where they want to go." For example, if the user inputs "I want to go to Tokyo next Saturday," the generation AI will collect information on tourist spots and events in Tokyo based on that date and suggest the optimal route. The input to the generation AI is a prompt containing instructions on what the user wants the generation AI to do, and the generation AI generates a travel plan based on that prompt. Step 2: The business hours consideration unit considers places that can be visited within business hours based on the travel plan generated by the travel plan generation unit. For example, if a user inputs "I want to eat a famous ramen," the generation AI checks the business hours of the ramen shop and adjusts the plan so that the visit can be made within business hours. This eliminates the need to worry about "actually, the shop is closed." Step 3: The additional request reflection unit reflects the user's additional requests based on the locations considered by the business hours consideration unit. For example, if the user inputs "I want to stop by Tokyo Tower," the generation AI will take that request into account and propose the optimal route that includes Tokyo Tower. It can also be adjusted to suit the user's preferences.
[0048] (Example 2) The personal travel plan generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates and proposes optimal travel plans simply by the user inputting "when and where they want to go." As a result, the personal travel plan generation system automatically creates travel plans based on the user's wishes and also takes into account places that can be visited during business hours, eliminating the need for detailed advance research.

This allows the user to enjoy their trip without worrying about the budget.
[0076] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0077] Step 1: The travel plan generation unit generates the optimal travel plan simply by the user inputting "when and where they want to go." For example, if the user inputs "I want to go to Tokyo next Saturday," the generation AI will collect information on tourist spots and events in Tokyo based on that date and suggest the optimal route. The input to the generation AI is a prompt containing instructions on what the user wants the generation AI to do, and the generation AI generates a travel plan based on that prompt. Step 2: The business hours consideration unit considers places that can be visited within business hours based on the travel plan generated by the travel plan generation unit. For example, if a user inputs "I want to eat a famous ramen," the generation AI checks the business hours of the ramen shop and adjusts the plan so that the visit can be made within business hours. This eliminates the need to worry about "actually, the shop is closed." Step 3: The additional request reflection unit reflects the user's additional requests based on the locations considered by the business hours consideration unit. For example, if the user inputs "I want to stop by Tokyo Tower," the generation AI will take that request into account and propose the optimal route that includes Tokyo Tower. It can also be adjusted to suit the user's preferences.

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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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).
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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."
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
