[0028] (Example 1) The search system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides a new search method that replaces the conventional map search by address or name by incorporating a chat function of generated AI on a dynamic digital twin map. This allows the search system to provide users with the value of new discoveries and encounters.
[0029] A search system according to an embodiment includes a generation AI, a search condition analysis unit, a suggestion unit, and a dynamic digital twin map. The generation AI analyzes search conditions entered by a user in natural language. For example, if a user enters, "Tell me about a popular restaurant within five minutes of my current location that a family of four can enjoy for half a day," the generation AI analyzes the search conditions and makes appropriate suggestions. The search condition analysis unit suggests optimal places and services based on the search conditions analyzed by the generation AI. For example, the search condition analysis unit suggests nearby popular restaurants and services based on the user's input. The suggestion unit displays the places and services suggested by the search condition analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit displays information such as the location of the suggested restaurant, surrounding traffic conditions, and congestion level. The dynamic digital twin map displays the places and services suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the dynamic digital twin map reflects real-world information in real time, allowing the user to intuitively grasp information about their current location and destination. This allows the search system according to an embodiment to provide users with the value of new discoveries and encounters. For example, by suggesting new shops, events, tourist spots, etc. that users were not aware of, it can provide new enjoyment to everyday life.
[0030] The search condition analysis unit learns the user's past search history and behavioral patterns to make more personalized suggestions. For example, the search condition analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past search history and learn frequently searched places and preferences. For example, it prioritizes suggestions of cafes that the user has searched for many times in the past. The search condition analysis unit also learns the user's behavioral patterns to suggest places to visit at specific times of the day. For example, it learns that the user visits a park every weekend and suggests parks for weekends. The search condition analysis unit also combines the user's past search history and behavioral patterns to make suggestions tailored to specific events or seasons. For example, it learns that the user has visited the beach in the summer and suggests beaches in the summer. In this way, by learning the user's past search history and behavioral patterns, it is possible to make more personalized suggestions.
[0031] The search condition analysis unit can take into account the user's hobbies and interests and suggest related events and activities. For example, the search condition analysis unit uses a generation AI to learn the user's hobbies and suggest related events. For example, it learns that the user likes music and suggests nearby concerts and live events. The search condition analysis unit also takes into account the user's interests and suggests related activities. For example, it learns that the user likes the outdoors and suggests nearby hiking trails and campsites. The search condition analysis unit also suggests seasonal events and activities based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, it learns that the user enjoys skiing in the winter and suggests ski resorts in the winter. In this way, it is possible to suggest related events and activities by taking the user's hobbies and interests into account.
[0032] The search condition analysis unit can analyze the content of a user's social media posts and suggest places based on their interests. For example, the search condition analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the content of a user's social media posts and suggest places based on their interests. For example, if a user frequently posts photos of cafes, popular nearby cafes will be suggested. The search condition analysis unit also analyzes the content of a user's social media posts and learns that the user is interested in specific events or activities. For example, if a user posts many sporting events, nearby sporting events will be suggested. The search condition analysis unit also analyzes the content of a user's social media posts and suggests places based on seasonal interests. For example, if a user posts many photos of beaches in the summer, beaches will be suggested in the summer. In this way, by analyzing the content of a user's social media posts, it is possible to suggest places based on their interests.
[0033] Dynamic Digital Twin maps reflect environmental data in real time and can suggest optimal routes or locations based on weather or traffic conditions. For example, Dynamic Digital Twin maps reflect weather data in real time and suggest indoor activities on rainy days. For example, they might suggest nearby museums or shopping malls on rainy days. Dynamic Digital Twin maps also reflect traffic conditions in real time and suggest optimal routes to avoid traffic jams. For example, they might suggest detour routes based on traffic congestion information. Dynamic Digital Twin maps also reflect environmental data in real time and suggest less crowded locations. For example, they might suggest quiet parks or cafes to avoid crowded tourist spots. In this way, optimal routes and locations can be suggested by reflecting environmental data in real time.
[0034] A dynamic digital twin map can learn a user's past movement history and suggest more efficient routes. For example, a dynamic digital twin map can learn a user's past movement history and suggest the optimal route to frequently visited places. For example, it can learn the route a user takes to commute daily and suggest the optimal commute route. A dynamic digital twin map can also suggest the optimal route to places visited at a specific time of day based on the user's past movement history. For example, it can suggest the optimal route to places the user visits on the weekend. A dynamic digital twin map can also learn a user's past movement history and suggest the optimal route tailored to a specific event or season. For example, it can learn that the user visits the beach in the summer and suggest the optimal route to the beach in the summer. In this way, by learning a user's past movement history, it can suggest more efficient routes.
[0035] Dynamic Digital Twin maps can seamlessly link different devices, allowing users to access the same information from any device. Dynamic Digital Twin maps, for example, can seamlessly link smartphones and car navigation systems, allowing users to access the same information from any device. For example, a location searched on a smartphone can be automatically transferred to the car navigation system. Dynamic Digital Twin maps also strengthen the link between different devices, allowing users to access the same information from tablets and PCs. For example, a route planned on a PC can be transferred to a smartphone or car navigation system. Dynamic Digital Twin maps also enable real-time linkage between devices, allowing users to access the latest information from any device. For example, information updated on a smartphone is instantly updated in the car navigation system. This seamless linkage between different devices allows users to access the same information from any device.
[0036] Dynamic Digital Twin maps can work with a user's social network to display the current locations of friends and family as well as recommended places. Dynamic Digital Twin maps, for example, can work with a user's social network to display the current locations of friends and family. For example, it can display the current locations of friends on a map. Dynamic Digital Twin maps can also obtain recommended places from the user's social network and display them on the map. For example, it can suggest recommended places based on places that friends have visited and reviews. Dynamic Digital Twin maps can also work with social networks to suggest places to visit with friends and family. For example, it can suggest places to visit together if a friend is nearby. In this way, by working with a user's social network, it can display the current locations of friends and family as well as recommended places.
[0037] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0038] The search system can also obtain the user's health data and make suggestions based on their health condition. For example, it can obtain heart rate and step count data from the user's smartwatch and suggest nearby gyms and walking courses to users who are not getting enough exercise. It can also analyze the user's sleep data and suggest places where users can relax if they are sleep-deprived. It can also obtain the user's dietary data and suggest healthy restaurants if their nutritional balance is unbalanced. This allows for more personalized service by making suggestions based on the user's health condition.
[0039] The search system can also learn the user's travel history and make new suggestions based on places visited in the past. For example, it can learn which cities or countries the user has visited in the past and suggest new tourist spots in the same area. It can also learn which events or activities the user has participated in in the past and suggest similar events. It can also suggest recommended travel destinations for each season based on the user's travel history. This makes it possible to provide a more fulfilling travel experience by making new suggestions based on the user's travel history.
[0040] The search system can also analyze a user's purchasing history and suggest related products and services. For example, it can learn about products the user has purchased in the past and suggest related products. It can also prioritize suggestions for products from specific brands or categories based on the user's purchasing history. It can also analyze a user's purchasing history and suggest recommended products for each season. This makes it possible to provide a more personalized shopping experience by making suggestions based on the user's purchasing history.
[0041] The search system can also collect user feedback to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, users can rate suggested places and services, and the system can use that rating to improve future suggestions. It can also analyze user feedback to learn how much a particular suggestion increased user satisfaction. Furthermore, it can develop new suggestion algorithms based on user feedback to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. This allows the system to make suggestions that are more satisfying by utilizing user feedback.
[0042] The search system can also obtain the user's location information in real time and make suggestions based on the user's current location. For example, it can suggest nearby restaurants and tourist attractions based on the user's current location. It can also suggest events and activities being held in a specific area based on the user's location information. It can also obtain the user's location information in real time and suggest optimal routes and rest spots for users who are on the move. This makes it possible to provide a more convenient service by making suggestions based on the user's location information.
[0043] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0044] Step 1: The search condition analysis unit analyzes the search conditions entered by the user in natural language. For example, if a user enters, "Tell me about a popular restaurant within five minutes of my current location where a family of four can spend half a day," the search condition analysis unit analyzes the content and makes appropriate suggestions. Step 2: The suggestion unit suggests optimal places and services based on the search conditions analyzed by the search condition analysis unit. For example, the search condition analysis unit suggests nearby popular shops and services based on the user's input. Step 3: The Dynamic Digital Twin map displays the places and services suggested by the suggestion module. For example, it displays information such as the location of the suggested store, the surrounding traffic conditions, and the level of congestion. The Dynamic Digital Twin map reflects real-world information in real time, allowing users to intuitively grasp information about their current location and destination.
[0045] (Example 2) The search system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides a new search method that replaces the conventional map search by address or name by incorporating a chat function of generated AI on a dynamic digital twin map. This allows the search system to provide users with the value of new discoveries and encounters.
[0046] A search system according to an embodiment includes a generation AI, a search condition analysis unit, a suggestion unit, and a dynamic digital twin map. The generation AI analyzes search conditions entered by a user in natural language. For example, if a user enters, "Tell me about a popular restaurant within five minutes of my current location that a family of four can enjoy for half a day," the generation AI analyzes the search conditions and makes appropriate suggestions. The search condition analysis unit suggests optimal places and services based on the search conditions analyzed by the generation AI. For example, the search condition analysis unit suggests nearby popular restaurants and services based on the user's input. The suggestion unit displays the places and services suggested by the search condition analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit displays information such as the location of the suggested restaurant, surrounding traffic conditions, and congestion level. The dynamic digital twin map displays the places and services suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the dynamic digital twin map reflects real-world information in real time, allowing the user to intuitively grasp information about their current location and destination. This allows the search system according to an embodiment to provide users with the value of new discoveries and encounters. For example, by suggesting new shops, events, tourist spots, etc. that users were not aware of, it can provide new enjoyment to everyday life.
[0047] The search condition analysis unit can estimate a user's emotions and provide optimal search results based on those emotions. For example, the search condition analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze emotions from user input and suggest relaxing places for stressed users. For example, if a user inputs "I'm tired," the search condition analysis unit suggests nearby spas and cafes. Furthermore, if a user inputs an indication that they are in a fun mood, the search condition analysis unit suggests activities and events based on that emotion. For example, if a user inputs "Tell me some fun places," the search condition analysis unit suggests nearby amusement parks and events. Furthermore, if a user inputs an indication that they are sad, the search condition analysis unit suggests comforting places based on that emotion. For example, if a user inputs "I'm feeling depressed," the search condition analysis unit suggests quiet parks and art museums. This improves user convenience by providing optimal search results based on the user's emotions.
[0048] The search condition analysis unit learns the user's past search history and behavioral patterns to make more personalized suggestions. For example, the search condition analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past search history and learn frequently searched places and preferences. For example, it prioritizes suggestions of cafes that the user has searched for many times in the past. The search condition analysis unit also learns the user's behavioral patterns to suggest places to visit at specific times of the day.

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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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.
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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.
[0124] 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).
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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."
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
