[0028] (Example 1) A questionnaire system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to streamline the questionnaire response process and uncover the true feelings and latent needs of respondents. This reduces the burden on respondents and enables the efficient collection of information that is useful to companies.
[0029] A questionnaire system according to an embodiment includes a question generation unit and a sentiment analysis unit. The question generation unit analyzes the content and sentiment of a respondent's answer and generates a subsequent question based on the analysis. For example, if a respondent answers, "I'm not satisfied with a recent service," the generation AI generates a follow-up question such as, "What specifically were you dissatisfied with?" The question generation unit generates appropriate questions based on prompts containing the respondent's answer and sentiment. For example, if a respondent answers, "This product is so-so," the generation AI reads the respondent's sentiment from the tone and speed of their voice and determines the level of satisfaction indicated by the rating "so-so." The sentiment analysis unit analyzes not only the content of the respondent's answer but also their sentiment using speech recognition technology. For example, the generation AI analyzes the respondent's tone and speed of their voice to determine their sentiment. The sentiment analysis unit generates individually customized questions based on the respondent's past answer history and profile information. For example, if a respondent has previously shown interest in a particular product, the generation AI may ask more questions related to that product. This allows respondents to be provided with questions tailored to their interests and concerns, improving the quality of their answers. As a result, the questionnaire system according to the embodiment reduces the burden on respondents and enables companies to efficiently collect information that is useful to them. For example, companies no longer need to think about questionnaire questions in advance, and the generation AI automatically generates questions, significantly reducing the cost and time required to create questionnaires. This allows companies to more efficiently understand customer needs.

[0053] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0054] Step 1: The question generator analyzes the respondent's response and emotions, and generates the next question based on those. For example, if a respondent answers, "I'm not satisfied with a recent service," the generation AI generates a follow-up question such as, "What specifically were you dissatisfied with?" The generation AI also generates appropriate questions based on prompts that include the respondent's response and emotions. For example, if a respondent answers, "This product is so-so," the generation AI reads the respondent's emotions from the tone and speed of their voice and determines the level of satisfaction that the rating "so-so" indicates. Step 2: In the sentiment analysis section, the generation AI not only analyzes the content of the respondent's answers, but also their emotions using voice recognition technology. For example, the generation AI analyzes the tone and speed of the respondent's voice to determine their emotions. The sentiment analysis section also allows the generation AI to generate individually customized questions based on the respondent's past answer history and profile information. For example, if a respondent has previously shown interest in a particular product, the generation AI will ask them more questions related to that product.
[0055] (Example 2) A questionnaire system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to streamline the questionnaire response process and uncover the true feelings and latent needs of respondents. This reduces the burden on respondents and enables the efficient collection of information that is useful to companies.
[0056] A questionnaire system according to an embodiment includes a question generation unit and a sentiment analysis unit. The question generation unit analyzes the content and sentiment of a respondent's answer and generates a subsequent question based on the analysis. For example, if a respondent answers, "I'm not satisfied with a recent service," the generation AI generates a follow-up question such as, "What specifically were you dissatisfied with?" The question generation unit generates appropriate questions based on prompts containing the respondent's answer and sentiment. For example, if a respondent answers, "This product is so-so," the generation AI reads the respondent's sentiment from the tone and speed of their voice and determines the level of satisfaction indicated by the rating "so-so." The sentiment analysis unit analyzes not only the content of the respondent's answer but also their sentiment using speech recognition technology. For example, the generation AI analyzes the respondent's tone and speed of their voice to determine their sentiment. The sentiment analysis unit generates individually customized questions based on the respondent's past answer history and profile information. For example, if a respondent has previously shown interest in a particular product, the generation AI may ask more questions related to that product. This allows respondents to be provided with questions tailored to their interests and concerns, improving the quality of their answers. As a result, the questionnaire system according to the embodiment reduces the burden on respondents and enables companies to efficiently collect information that is useful to them. For example, companies no longer need to think about questionnaire questions in advance, and the generation AI automatically generates questions, significantly reducing the cost and time required to create questionnaires. This allows companies to more efficiently understand customer needs.
[0057] The question generation unit can analyze the respondent's past behavioral history and purchase history and generate questions based on that. In the question generation unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the respondent's past purchase history and generates detailed questions about specific products. For example, it asks about satisfaction with and areas for improvement for products purchased in the past. In addition, the question generation unit generates related questions based on the respondent's behavioral history. For example, it can analyze website browsing history and ask questions about products and services in which the respondent is interested. In addition, the question generation unit generates questions about products that the respondent may purchase next based on the respondent's purchase history. For example, it can ask questions about new products related to products purchased in the past. This makes it possible to generate more personalized questions by generating questions based on the respondent's past behavioral history and purchase history.
[0058] The question generation unit can analyze the content of respondents' social media posts and generate questions based on their interests and concerns. In the question generation unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the content of respondents' social media posts and generates questions related to specific hobbies and concerns. For example, it poses questions about hobbies that are frequently posted about. In addition, the question generation unit identifies respondents' interests and concerns based on the content of their social media posts and generates questions based on them. For example, it can pose questions related to specific events or topics. In addition, the question generation unit analyzes the content of social media posts and generates questions that will attract the respondents' attention. For example, it can pose questions related to recent posts. In this way, by generating questions based on the content of social media posts, it is possible to ask questions that match the respondents' interests and concerns.
[0059] The question generation unit uses the emotion estimation function to generate questions according to the respondent's emotional state and prioritize questions that elicit positive emotions.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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).
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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."
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.

[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
