[0028] (Example 1) The MachiZero system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that grasps the congestion status of facilities in real time and provides users with the most suitable facilities. This allows users to avoid congestion, reduce waiting times, and realize a comfortable outing.

[0029] The MachiZero system according to the embodiment includes a congestion status acquisition unit, a facility search unit, and a listing unit. The congestion status acquisition unit acquires the congestion status of a facility in real time. For example, it analyzes data obtained from sensors and cameras within the facility to calculate the current congestion level. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze the number of people in the facility, the length of their stay, and the frequency of entry and exit. For example, a sensor detects people's movements within the facility and calculates the congestion level based on that data. The facility search unit searches for available facilities near the user's current location based on the congestion status acquired by the congestion status acquisition unit. For example, it acquires the user's current location from GPS data and searches for available facilities based on the congestion status of surrounding facilities. The facility search unit can also perform a search taking into account the type of facility desired by the user. For example, if the user desires a shopping mall, it searches for available shopping malls in the vicinity. The listing unit lists the facilities found by the facility search unit. For example, it displays the search results in a list format to make it easier for the user to select a facility. The listing unit can also include information such as the facility's congestion status, distance, and rating in the list. For example, the list displays the congestion level, distance, and user ratings of each facility. This allows the MachiZero system according to the embodiment to grasp the congestion status of facilities in real time and provide users with the most suitable facilities. For example, this allows users to avoid congestion and use facilities comfortably. It also makes it easier for users to select facilities based on the list.

[0030] The congestion status acquisition unit can analyze audio data within the facility and estimate the degree of congestion from the noise level. The congestion status acquisition unit, for example, analyzes audio data collected from microphones installed within the facility and measures the noise level. For example, it analyzes the audio data in real time and estimates that the degree of congestion is high if the noise level is high. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze the frequency and volume of the audio data. For example, if the volume of a specific frequency band is high, it estimates that the area is congested. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze the fluctuation pattern of the audio data. For example, if the audio data fluctuates significantly, it estimates that the area is congested. In this way, the degree of congestion can be accurately estimated by analyzing the audio data.

[0031] The congestion status acquisition unit can analyze data from temperature and humidity sensors and estimate the congestion level from environmental changes. The congestion status acquisition unit, for example, analyzes data collected from temperature and humidity sensors installed within the facility to monitor environmental changes. For example, if the temperature or humidity rises rapidly, it estimates that the congestion level is high. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze temperature and humidity fluctuation patterns. For example, if the temperature or humidity fluctuates drastically, it estimates that the area is congested. The congestion status acquisition unit can also predict the congestion level based on temperature and humidity data. For example, it can build a congestion level prediction model based on past data and predict the congestion level based on current data. This allows the congestion level to be accurately estimated by analyzing temperature and humidity data.

[0032] The congestion status acquisition unit can analyze traffic condition data outside the facility and associate it with the congestion level. The congestion status acquisition unit, for example, collects traffic condition data around the facility and analyzes traffic volume and congestion status. For example, if traffic volume is high, it estimates that the facility is highly congested. The congestion status acquisition unit can also monitor traffic conditions using traffic sensors and GPS data. For example, a traffic sensor detects the passage of a vehicle and calculates traffic volume based on that data. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze fluctuation patterns in the traffic condition data. For example, if traffic volume fluctuates significantly, it estimates that the area is congested. In this way, the congestion level of the facility can be accurately associated by analyzing the traffic condition data.

[0033] The congestion status acquisition unit can analyze the number of Wi-Fi connections and estimate the congestion level from the number of connected devices. The congestion status acquisition unit, for example, analyzes the number of connected devices collected from Wi-Fi access points within a facility and estimates the congestion level. For example, if the number of connected devices is large, it is estimated that the congestion level is high. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze fluctuation patterns in the number of Wi-Fi connections. For example, if there is a large fluctuation in the number of connected devices, it is estimated that the area is congested. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze the type and connection time of connected devices. For example, if there is a large number of smartphone and tablet connections, it is estimated that the area is congested. In this way, the congestion level can be accurately estimated by analyzing the number of Wi-Fi connections.

[0034] The facility search unit can analyze the user's visit history and prioritize listing favorite facilities. The facility search unit, for example, analyzes the user's past visit history and identifies favorite facilities. For example, prioritize listing facilities that the user has frequently visited in the past or highly rated facilities. The facility search unit can also analyze the type and characteristics of facilities based on the user's visit history. For example, the user can identify favorite facilities based on the type and characteristics of facilities that the user has visited in the past. The facility search unit can also analyze facility ratings based on the user's visit history. For example, prioritize listing facilities that the user has highly rated. In this way, favorite facilities can be prioritized by analyzing the user's past visit history.

[0035] The facility search unit can analyze facility reviews and ratings and prioritize listing highly rated facilities. The facility search unit, for example, collects and analyzes facility review and rating data. For example, it prioritizes listing highly rated facilities. The facility search unit can also analyze the content of reviews and ratings. For example, it identifies highly rated facilities based on the content of reviews and rating scores. The facility search unit can also analyze fluctuation patterns in reviews and ratings. For example, it prioritizes listing facilities with little fluctuation in rating scores. In this way, by analyzing reviews and ratings, it is possible to prioritize listing highly rated facilities.

[0036] The facility search unit can analyze facility benefits and discount information and list the most cost-effective facilities for the user. The facility search unit, for example, collects and analyzes benefit and discount information provided by facilities. For example, it prioritizes listing facilities with high discount rates. The facility search unit can also analyze the content of benefit and discount information. For example, it identifies the most cost-effective facility based on the content of benefit and discount rate. The facility search unit can also analyze fluctuation patterns in benefit and discount information. For example, it prioritizes listing facilities with least fluctuation in benefit and discount information. In this way, by analyzing benefit and discount information, it is possible to list the most cost-effective facilities for the user.

[0037] The facility search unit can analyze facility business hours and special event information, and list facilities that can be visited at the optimal time for the user. The facility search unit, for example, collects and analyzes facility business hours and special event information. For example, it prioritizes listing facilities with long business hours or facilities that hold special events. The facility search unit can also analyze the content of business hours and special event information. For example, it identifies facilities that can be visited at the optimal time based on the length of business hours and the content of the event. The facility search unit can also analyze fluctuation patterns in business hours and special event information. For example, it prioritizes listing facilities with little fluctuation in business hours. In this way, by analyzing business hours and special event information, it is possible to list facilities that can be visited at the optimal time for the user.

[0038] The system can work in conjunction with a reservation system to predict reservation cancellation rates and change frequency. For example, the system collects data from the reservation system and analyzes past reservation cancellation rates and change frequency. For example, if there are many cancellations during a particular time period or day of the week, the system can predict that trend. The system can also analyze fluctuation patterns in reservation data. For example, if there are large fluctuations in cancellation rates or change frequency, the system can identify those time periods or days of the week. The system can also predict cancellation rates and change frequency using a predictive algorithm. For example, a predictive model can be built based on past data and predictions can be made based on current data. This makes reservation management more efficient by predicting reservation cancellation rates and change frequency.

[0039] The system can work in conjunction with a reservation system to suggest the optimal reservation time slot. For example, the system collects data from the reservation system and analyzes past reservation status. For example, it identifies a tendency for reservations to be concentrated during certain time periods or days of the week, and suggests the optimal reservation time slot. The system can also analyze fluctuation patterns in reservation data. For example, it can identify time periods or days of the week with fewer reservations, and suggest those time slots. The system can also suggest reservation time slots taking into account the user's desired time and the availability of the facility. For example, it can suggest the optimal reservation time slot based on the user's desired time. This improves user convenience by suggesting the optimal reservation time slot.

[0040] The system can link with a reservation system to provide the function of managing reservations for multiple facilities in one place. For example, the system can link with a reservation system to build a system that manages reservations for multiple facilities in one place. For example, reservations for restaurants, hospitals, sports facilities, etc. can be managed on a single platform. The system can also integrate reservation data and manage it all together on a management screen. For example, data from multiple reservation systems can be integrated and managed centrally on a management screen. The system can also change or cancel reservations in one place. For example, reservations for multiple facilities can be changed or canceled in one place. This makes reservation management more efficient by managing reservations for multiple facilities in one place.

[0041] The system can work in conjunction with a reservation system and automatically adjust the optimal reservation time in conjunction with the user's schedule. For example, the system can work in conjunction with a reservation system to build a system that analyzes the user's schedule and automatically adjusts the optimal reservation time. For example, the system can adjust the reservation time in conjunction with a calendar app. The system can also automatically adjust the reservation time based on schedule data. For example, the system optimizes the reservation time based on the user's schedule. The system can also automatically readjust the reservation time in response to changes in the schedule. For example, if the schedule changes, the reservation time is automatically readjusted. This makes it possible to automatically adjust the optimal reservation time based on the user's schedule.

[0042] The system can analyze the user's location information and calculate the optimal notification timing. For example, the system can be constructed to analyze the user's location information in real time and calculate the optimal notification timing. For example, a notification is sent when the user approaches a facility. The system can also analyze the fluctuation pattern of the location information. For example, the notification timing is calculated based on the user's movement speed and direction. The system can also analyze the user's behavioral patterns and identify the optimal notification timing. For example, if the user is in a specific location at a specific time period, the notification is sent during that time period. This makes it possible to calculate the optimal notification timing based on the user's location information.

[0043] The system can analyze a user's device usage patterns and select the most effective notification method. For example, the system can analyze a user's device usage patterns and build a system that selects the most effective notification method. For example, the system can analyze the frequency of smartphone use and notification reception status. The system can also analyze fluctuations in device usage patterns. For example, if device usage is high during a specific time period, notifications can be sent during that time period. The system can also select the notification method based on the user's preferences. For example, the system can select the optimal method from push notifications, email notifications, SMS notifications, etc. This allows the system to select the most effective notification method based on the user's device usage patterns.

[0044] The system can work in conjunction with a user's calendar app to provide notifications based on a schedule. For example, the system can work in conjunction with a user's calendar app to build a system that provides notifications based on a schedule. For example, a notification can be sent just before an appointment. The system can also adjust the timing of notifications based on data from the calendar app. For example, a notification can be sent to coincide with the start time of an appointment. The system can also analyze data from the calendar app to identify the optimal timing of notifications. For example, the notification timing can be adjusted in response to changes in the appointment. In this way, the timing of notifications can be optimized by providing notifications based on the user's schedule.

[0045] The system can link with a user's social media account to notify the user of related event and facility information. For example, the system can link with a user's social media account to build a system that notifies the user of related event and facility information. For example, the system can notify the user of information about events that the user is interested in. The system can also analyze social media data to identify the user's interests. For example, the system can identify interests based on the accounts the user follows and the content of posts. The system can also customize the content of notifications based on social media data. For example, the system can notify the user of event information tailored to the user's interests. In this way, by linking with a user's social media account, the system can effectively notify the user of related event and facility information.

[0046] The system can analyze the text data of feedback and classify positive and negative opinions. For example, the system analyzes the text data of feedback collected from users and builds a system for classifying positive and negative opinions. For example, the system analyzes the text using natural language processing technology. The system can also analyze the content of the text data. For example, it can classify opinions based on positive or negative expressions. The system can also analyze the fluctuation patterns of the text data. For example, if there are many positive opinions, it can analyze those opinions preferentially. In this way, it is possible to classify positive and negative opinions by analyzing the text data of feedback.

[0047] The system can analyze the voice data of the feedback and identify the intensity and type of emotion. For example, the system is constructed to analyze the voice data of the feedback collected from the user and identify the intensity and type of emotion. For example, the tone and pitch of the voice are analyzed using voice analysis technology. The system can also analyze the content of the voice data. For example, the intensity of the emotion is identified based on the tone and volume of the voice. The system can also analyze the fluctuation pattern of the voice data. For example, if the intensity of the emotion is high, that opinion is analyzed preferentially. In this way, the intensity and type of emotion can be identified by analyzing the voice data of the feedback.

[0048] The system can collect feedback in real time and reflect the analysis results immediately. For example, the system can be constructed to collect feedback from users in real time and reflect the analysis results immediately. For example, analysis can begin as soon as feedback is sent. The system can also analyze fluctuation patterns in the feedback data. For example, if the content of the feedback fluctuates, the fluctuations can be reflected immediately. The system can also display the analysis results of the feedback in real time. For example, the analysis results can be displayed on a dashboard. This allows feedback to be collected in real time and the analysis results to be reflected immediately.

[0049] The system can provide a function to share feedback with other users and gain sympathy and approval. For example, the system builds a system that provides a function to share feedback collected from users with other users and gain sympathy and approval. For example, it provides a function to "like" or comment on feedback. The system can also analyze the content of the feedback and identify feedback that is likely to gain sympathy and approval. For example, it can preferentially share positive feedback. The system can also set the scope of sharing of feedback. For example, it can share feedback only within a specific group. In this way, by sharing feedback with other users, sympathy and approval can be gained.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0051] The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze lighting data within the facility and estimate the congestion level from changes in illuminance. For example, if the lights within the facility flicker frequently, it can estimate that the area is crowded. It can also estimate that the congestion level is high if the illuminance changes suddenly. Furthermore, it is possible to estimate the congestion level of a specific area by analyzing changes in the color temperature of the lighting. This allows for accurate estimation of the congestion level by analyzing the lighting data.

[0052] The facility search unit can analyze the user's health data and suggest the most suitable facility based on the user's health condition. For example, it can suggest a facility where the user can relax based on the user's heart rate and blood pressure data. It can also suggest sports facilities if the user needs to exercise based on the health data. It can also analyze fluctuation patterns in the health data and dynamically suggest facilities according to the user's health condition. This makes it possible to suggest the most suitable facility based on the user's health condition.

[0053] The congestion status acquisition unit analyzes CO2 concentration data within the facility and can estimate the level of congestion from changes in air quality. For example, if the CO2 concentration is high, it is estimated that the area is congested. It is also possible to predict the level of congestion in a specific area by analyzing the fluctuation pattern of CO2 concentration. Furthermore, by combining and analyzing other air quality data (for example, PM2.5 and VOCs), it is possible to estimate the level of congestion more accurately. This allows for accurate estimation of the level of congestion by analyzing air quality data.

[0054] The facility search unit can analyze the content of a user's social media posts and suggest the most suitable facility based on their interests. For example, if a user has recently posted a lot about "cafes," it will prioritize suggesting cafes. It can also identify the user's interests based on the content of their social media posts and suggest facilities based on those. It can also analyze social media data in real time and dynamically suggest facilities based on the user's latest interests. This makes it possible to suggest the most suitable facility based on the user's interests.

[0055] The facility search unit can analyze the user's past search history and suggest optimal facilities based on the search patterns. For example, it can prioritize suggesting facilities that have been frequently searched for in the past. It can also identify the user's preferences and tendencies based on the search history and suggest facilities based on those. It can also analyze patterns of change in the search history and dynamically suggest facilities based on the user's latest interests. This makes it possible to suggest optimal facilities based on the user's search history.

[0056] The congestion status acquisition unit can analyze temperature data within the facility and estimate the congestion level from temperature changes. For example, if the temperature rises suddenly, it can estimate that the area is congested. It is also possible to predict the congestion level of a specific area by analyzing the temperature fluctuation pattern. Furthermore, by combining and analyzing other environmental data (e.g., humidity and air pressure), it is possible to estimate the congestion level more accurately. This allows for accurate estimation of the congestion level by analyzing the temperature data.

[0057] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0058] Step 1: The congestion status acquisition unit acquires the congestion status of the facility in real time. For example, it analyzes data obtained from sensors and cameras within the facility and calculates the current congestion level. The congestion status acquisition unit can also analyze the number of people in the facility, the length of their stay, and the frequency of entry and exit. For example, a sensor detects the movement of people within the facility and calculates the congestion level based on that data. Step 2: The facility search unit searches for nearby, unoccupied facilities based on the congestion status acquired by the congestion status acquisition unit from the user's current location. For example, the user's current location is acquired from GPS data, and unoccupied facilities are searched for based on the congestion status of surrounding facilities. The facility search unit can also perform a search taking into account the type of facility desired by the user. For example, if the user desires a shopping mall, unoccupied shopping malls in the vicinity are searched for. Step 3: The listing unit lists the facilities found by the facility search unit. For example, the search results may be displayed in list format to make it easier for the user to select a facility. The listing unit may also include information such as the facility's congestion status, distance, and ratings in the list. For example, the list may display the congestion level, distance, and user ratings for each facility.

[0059] (Example 2) The MachiZero system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that grasps the congestion status of facilities in real time and provides users with the most suitable facilities. This allows users to avoid congestion, reduce waiting times, and realize a comfortable outing.

[0060] The MachiZero system according to the embodiment includes a congestion status acquisition unit, a facility search unit, and a listing unit. The congestion status acquisition unit acquires the congestion status of a facility in real time. For example, it analyzes data obtained from sensors and cameras within the facility to calculate the current congestion level.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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).

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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."

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined.
