For example, the publishing unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions of the user when they receive the paper medium in real time and provide positive feedback. For example, if the user is satisfied, the publishing unit can provide feedback such as "I'm glad I could be of help to you." This allows the publishing unit to provide feedback according to the user's emotions and improve satisfaction.

[0070] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0071] The system may further include a voice analysis unit that analyzes the user's voice input. When the user takes a screen capture, the voice analysis unit analyzes the specific problem described in the voice and sends it to the generation unit. For example, if the user describes in voice that "the app keeps crashing," the content of that analysis is analyzed and sent to the generation unit. This allows the generation unit to more accurately understand the problem and generate an appropriate screen transition flow. The voice analysis unit can also estimate emotions from the user's voice and, if the user is feeling stressed, can focus analysis on that part in particular. This reduces the user's stress and enables the problem to be resolved more quickly.

[0072] The system may further include an operation history analysis unit that analyzes the user's operation history. The operation history analysis unit analyzes the user's past operation history and sends it to the generation unit. For example, if the user has experienced the same problem in the past, the operation history is referenced and sent to the generation unit. This allows the generation unit to generate a more appropriate screen transition flow based on the past operation history. The operation history analysis unit can also infer the user's emotions from the user's operation history and focus analysis on areas that cause particular stress. This reduces the user's stress and enables problems to be solved quickly.

[0073] The system may further include a real-time analysis unit that analyzes a user's operation procedures in real time. The real-time analysis unit analyzes the operation procedures in real time as the user performs them and sends them to the generation unit. For example, while the user is operating an app, the operation procedures are analyzed in real time and sent to the generation unit. This allows the generation unit to generate a more appropriate screen transition flow based on the operation procedures analyzed in real time. The real-time analysis unit can also infer emotions from the user's operation procedures and focus analysis on areas that cause particular stress. This reduces the user's stress and enables problems to be solved quickly.

[0074] The system may further include a feedback unit that estimates the user's emotions and provides feedback according to the emotions. The feedback unit estimates the user's emotions and provides feedback according to the emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the feedback unit may provide feedback such as "It's okay, we'll solve it right away." This provides feedback according to the user's emotions and supports problem solving. The feedback unit may also analyze the user's emotions in real time and provide positive feedback. This provides feedback according to the user's emotions and improves satisfaction.

[0075] The system may further include an explanatory sentence generation unit that estimates the user's emotions and generates explanatory sentences in a tone that corresponds to the emotions. The explanatory sentence generation unit estimates the user's emotions and generates explanatory sentences in a tone that corresponds to the emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the explanatory sentences are generated in a gentle tone. This allows explanatory sentences to be generated in a tone that corresponds to the user's emotions and makes them easier to understand. The explanatory sentence generation unit may also analyze the user's emotions in real time and generate explanatory sentences in a tone that corresponds to the emotions. This allows explanatory sentences to be generated in a tone that corresponds to the user's emotions and makes them easier to understand.

[0076] The system may further include an operation procedure recording unit that records the user's operation procedures. The operation procedure recording unit records the operation procedures when the user performs them and sends them to the generation unit. For example, while the user is operating an app, the operation procedures are recorded and sent to the generation unit. This allows the generation unit to generate a more appropriate screen transition flow based on the recorded operation procedures. In addition, the operation procedure recording unit provides a function that allows the user to add handwritten notes when recording the user's operation procedures, allowing the user to supplement the details of the problem. This allows the user to supplement the details of the problem and solve the problem more accurately.

[0077] The system may further include an operation procedure analysis unit that analyzes the user's operation procedures. When the user performs an operation procedure, the operation procedure analysis unit analyzes the procedure and sends it to the generation unit. For example, when the user is operating an app, the operation procedure analysis unit analyzes the procedure and sends it to the generation unit. This allows the generation unit to generate a more appropriate screen transition flow based on the analyzed operation procedure. In addition, when analyzing the user's operation procedure, the operation procedure analysis unit can automatically refer to related FAQs and help articles and add more detailed explanations. This makes it possible to refer to related information and provide more detailed solutions.

[0078] The system can further include a solution presentation unit that presents multiple solutions when recording the user's operation procedures. The solution presentation unit presents multiple solutions when the user performs the operation procedures, allowing the user to select one. For example, when using LINE, multiple ways of adding friends can be presented. This allows the user to select from multiple solutions. Furthermore, when recording the user's operation procedures, the solution presentation unit can also refer to success stories of other users to suggest the optimal solution. This makes it possible to refer to success stories of other users to suggest the optimal solution.

[0079] The system may further include a visualization unit that makes extensive use of infographics and illustrations to make the user's operation procedures easier to understand visually when recording them. The visualization unit makes extensive use of infographics and illustrations to make the user's operation procedures easier to understand visually when performing them. For example, the operation procedures may be shown using illustrations. This makes it possible to provide operation procedures that are visually easy to understand. The visualization unit may also provide a space for adding handwritten notes when recording the user's operation procedures, allowing the user to enter individual supplemental information. This makes it possible for the user to enter individual supplemental information.

[0080] The system can further include a multilingual support unit that, when recording a user's operating procedures, provides explanations in multiple languages. The multilingual support unit provides explanations in multiple languages ​​when the user performs the operating procedures, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, the operating procedures can be provided in both Japanese and English. This makes it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. Furthermore, when recording a user's operating procedures, the multilingual support unit can make extensive use of infographics and illustrations to make them visually easy to understand. This makes it possible to provide operating procedures that are visually easy to understand.

[0081] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0082] Step 1: The screen capture acquisition unit acquires a screen capture. For example, a user takes a screenshot of a smartphone and sends it to the system. The screen capture acquisition unit can also record dynamic operation procedures using video capture. For example, a user records a video of the operation procedures and sends it to the system. Step 2: The generation unit generates a screen transition flow based on the screen captures acquired by the screen capture acquisition unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the transmitted screen captures and generates the screen transition flow required to solve the problem. The generation AI can also refer to the user's operation history and provide an individually customized flow. For example, if a user has experienced the same problem in the past, it will provide a flow based on that solution. Step 3: The publishing unit publishes the screen transition flow generated by the generating unit as a paper medium. For example, the publishing unit prints out the generated screen transition flow with images and provides it to the user. The publishing unit can also add a QR code to the paper medium to enable access to detailed digital explanations or video tutorials. For example, the publishing unit prints a QR code that enables access to a detailed video tutorial on how to use LINE.

Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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).

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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."

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.
