For example, the system can select optimal stress management measures based on the user's emotion data. This makes it possible to suggest stress management measures after qualification is obtained.
[0076] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0077] The qualification acquisition support system not only analyzes the user's work content and skill set, but can also suggest qualifications taking into account the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if the user programs as a hobby, it can suggest programming-related qualifications. It can also increase the user's motivation to learn by suggesting qualifications related to the user's field of interest. Furthermore, it can also suggest career paths after obtaining qualifications based on the user's hobbies and interests.
[0078] The certification support system can analyze a user's past learning history and test results and suggest optimal learning methods based on that information. For example, it can recommend online learning to a user who has previously achieved high grades in online courses. It can also identify a user's preferred learning style from past test results and create a study plan based on that. It can also suggest effective learning tools and resources based on the user's learning history.
[0079] The qualification acquisition support system can estimate the user's emotions and provide feedback to maintain motivation according to the user's learning progress. For example, if the user has negative feelings about learning, it can send an encouraging message. If the user has positive feelings about learning, it can provide feedback encouraging further challenges. This makes it possible to maintain motivation for learning based on the user's emotions.
[0080] The qualification acquisition support system can make suggestions to optimize the user's learning environment. For example, if the user is studying at home, it can suggest environmental settings to improve concentration. Also, if the user is studying at a cafe, it can suggest appropriate learning tools and resources. Furthermore, by suggesting a learning environment that matches the user's learning style, it can improve learning efficiency.
[0081] The qualification acquisition support system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest appropriate break times based on the progress of their studies.

This makes it possible to suggest appropriate break times based on the user's emotions and improve learning efficiency.
[0082] The qualification acquisition support system can provide a dashboard to visualize the user's learning progress. For example, it can display the learning progress and achievement level in graphs and charts. It can also allow the user to check in real time how far they have progressed toward their goals. Furthermore, it can suggest the next tasks and goals to tackle according to the learning progress.
[0083] The qualification acquisition support system can estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate rewards according to the user's progress in learning. For example, if the user has positive emotions about learning, badges or points can be awarded as rewards. On the other hand, if the user has negative emotions about learning, encouraging messages or special rewards can be provided. This allows the system to provide appropriate rewards based on the user's emotions and maintain motivation to learn.
[0084] The qualification acquisition support system can customize the learning content according to the user's learning progress. For example, if the user has achieved high grades in a particular field, the learning content in that field can be made more advanced. Also, for areas in which the user is weak, the learning content can be adjusted so that the user can learn from the basics. Furthermore, the learning plan can be flexibly changed according to the user's learning style and progress.
[0085] The qualification acquisition support system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest appropriate learning resources according to the user's learning progress. For example, if the user has positive emotions about learning, it will suggest more difficult learning resources. On the other hand, if the user has negative emotions about learning, it will suggest basic learning resources. This makes it possible to suggest appropriate learning resources based on the user's emotions and improve learning efficiency.
[0086] The qualification acquisition support system can suggest learning priorities according to the user's learning progress. For example, if the user is falling behind in a particular field, it will suggest that they prioritize studying that field. It will also suggest further in-depth study in areas in which the user excels. Furthermore, it can flexibly change learning priorities according to the user's learning goals.
[0087] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0088] Step 1: The recommended qualification suggestion unit analyzes the user's job content and skill set and suggests the most suitable qualifications. For example, if the user works in the IT industry, it will suggest qualifications such as the "Information Processing Engineer Examination" or "Project Manager Examination." The recommended qualification suggestion unit also inputs prompts containing information about the user's job content and skill set into the generation AI, which then suggests the most suitable qualifications based on the prompts. Step 2: The practice question creation unit creates practice questions based on the qualifications proposed by the recommended qualification proposal unit. For example, it generates questions related to algorithms and databases as practice questions for the "Information Processing Engineer Examination." The practice question creation unit also inputs prompts containing information about the qualification content and exam scope into the generation AI, which then creates practice questions based on the prompts. Step 3: The weak area identification unit analyzes the answers to the practice questions created by the practice question creation unit and identifies the user's weak areas. For example, if the user makes many mistakes on questions about algorithms, it will identify that area as a weak area. The weak area identification unit also inputs prompts containing information about the user's answers to the generation AI, and the generation AI identifies the weak areas based on the prompts. Step 4: The iterative learning unit repeatedly presents questions related to the weak areas identified by the weak area identification unit. For example, if the user has difficulty with problems related to algorithms, it repeatedly presents questions related to algorithms. The iterative learning unit also inputs prompts containing information about the identified weak areas to the generation AI, and the generation AI creates questions for iterative learning based on the prompts.

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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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).
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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."
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
