[0028] (Example 1) The meeting schedule adjustment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a generation AI automatically sets the optimal meeting date and time by inputting participant information and project information. This eliminates the need for secretaries to manually adjust schedules, and enables meetings to be set efficiently.

[0029] A conference schedule adjustment system according to an embodiment includes a participant information input unit, a matter information input unit, and a schedule adjustment unit. The participant information input unit inputs participant information. For example, the participant's name, title, contact information, and schedule can be input. The participant information input unit can also set the importance of the participant. The matter information input unit inputs matter information. For example, the purpose of the conference, the agenda, and related materials can be input. The matter information input unit can also set the importance of the matter. The schedule adjustment unit automatically sets the optimal conference date and time based on the information input by the participant information input unit and the matter information input unit. For example, the schedule adjustment unit selects the optimal conference date and time by taking into account the available time in everyone's schedule. The schedule adjustment unit can also prioritize the available time of participants with high importance. This allows the conference schedule adjustment system to automate conference schedule adjustment and efficiently schedule conferences.

[0030] The participant information input unit can analyze the participant's past meeting attendance history and automatically evaluate the importance based on the attendance rate and speaking frequency. The participant information input unit, for example, retrieves the participant's past meeting attendance history from a database and calculates the attendance rate. For example, the importance is evaluated based on the meeting attendance rate over the past year. The participant information input unit also analyzes the frequency of speaking during the meeting and evaluates participants who speak frequently as having a high importance. For example, it analyzes the meeting minutes and audio data and counts the number of times someone speaks. The participant information input unit also combines the attendance history and speaking frequency to comprehensively evaluate the importance of the participant. For example, participants with a high attendance rate and frequent speaking frequency are considered the most important. In this way, by automatically evaluating the importance of the participants, the optimal meeting date and time can be set.

[0031] The participant information input unit can automatically retrieve participants' fields of expertise and skill sets from a database and recommend participants who are best suited to the content of the meeting. The participant information input unit, for example, automatically retrieves participants' fields of expertise and skill sets from a database and recommends participants who are best suited to the content of the meeting. For example, it would recommend technical experts for technical meetings. The participant information input unit also analyzes participants' resumes and project histories to extract their fields of expertise and skill sets. For example, it evaluates participants based on their roles and achievements in past projects. The participant information input unit also preferentially recommends participants who have fields of expertise and skill sets related to the meeting agenda. For example, it would recommend marketing experts for a planning meeting for a new product. This improves the quality of meetings by recommending participants who are best suited to the content of the meeting.

[0032] The participant information input unit can automatically set the optimal conference location and time zone for the online conference based on the geographical location information of the participants. The participant information input unit, for example, acquires the geographical location information of the participants and automatically sets the optimal conference location. For example, it selects a central conference room that is easily accessible to all. In the case of an online conference, the participant information input unit also takes into account the time zones of the participants and sets a time period that is easy for all to participate. For example, it selects the optimal time when there are participants in different time zones. The participant information input unit also selects the optimal conference location based on the geographical location information, taking into account transportation means and travel time. For example, it selects a location with good access by public transportation. In this way, the optimal conference location and time zone can be set by taking into account the geographical location information of the participants.

[0033] The participant information input unit can analyze participants' social media activity and reflect their interests and concerns related to the conference theme. The participant information input unit, for example, analyzes participants' social media activity and extracts their interests and concerns related to the conference theme. For example, it analyzes posts on Twitter or LinkedIn. The participant information input unit also identifies participants' areas of interest based on social media data and reflects these in the conference agenda. For example, it prioritizes inviting participants who are highly interested in a particular topic. The participant information input unit also monitors participants' social media activity in real time and reflects their latest concerns in the conference theme. For example, it adjusts the agenda based on recent posts. This allows the conference theme to be optimized by reflecting participants' interests and concerns.

[0034] The project information input unit can analyze data from similar past meetings, extract elements of successful meetings, and propose the optimal date and time. The project information input unit, for example, analyzes data from similar past meetings and extracts elements of successful meetings. For example, it evaluates based on attendance rate and progress of agenda items. The project information input unit also proposes the optimal date and time for meetings based on the elements of successful meetings. For example, it refers to the date and time patterns of successful meetings in the past. The project information input unit also continuously collects data from similar meetings and updates the elements of success. For example, it updates the database every time a new success case is added. In this way, the success rate of meetings is improved by proposing the optimal date and time based on the elements of successful meetings in the past.

[0035] The case information input unit can implement an algorithm that automatically adjusts the length and frequency of meetings according to the importance of the case. The case information input unit implements, for example, an algorithm that automatically adjusts the length of meetings based on the importance of the case. For example, longer meeting times are set for cases with high importance. The case information input unit also automatically adjusts the frequency of meetings according to the importance of the case. For example, more frequent meetings are set for cases with high importance. The case information input unit also evaluates the importance of the case in real time and dynamically adjusts the length and frequency of meetings. For example, the meeting settings are changed according to the progress of the case. In this way, the efficiency of meetings is improved by adjusting the length and frequency of meetings according to the importance of the case.

[0036] The project information input unit automatically generates related materials and presentations based on the project information, thereby streamlining meeting preparations. The project information input unit, for example, builds a system that automatically generates related materials and presentations based on project information. For example, it automatically generates data and graphs related to the agenda. The project information input unit also streamlines meeting preparations based on the automatically generated materials and presentations. For example, it automatically provides all the necessary materials together. The project information input unit also analyzes project information in real time and automatically generates the latest materials and presentations. For example, it reflects the latest data just before the meeting. This allows the automatic generation of related materials and presentations to streamline meeting preparations.

[0037] The case information input unit can automatically select a conference format depending on the importance of the case. The case information input unit, for example, builds a system that automatically selects the optimal conference format based on the importance of the case. For example, an offline conference is set for a case with high importance. The case information input unit also selects either online, offline, or hybrid depending on the content of the case and the status of the participants. For example, an online conference is set when there are many participants in remote locations. The case information input unit also dynamically adjusts the conference format based on the progress of the case and participant feedback. For example, the format is changed to reflect the opinions of the participants. In this way, the efficiency of the meeting is improved by selecting the optimal conference format depending on the importance of the case.

[0038] The schedule adjustment unit can learn from past meeting data and automatically generate optimal schedule adjustment patterns. For example, the schedule adjustment unit constructs a system in which a generation AI learns from past meeting data and automatically generates optimal schedule adjustment patterns. For example, it evaluates based on attendance rate and progress of agenda items. The schedule adjustment unit also proposes optimal schedule adjustment patterns based on past meeting data. For example, it refers to the date and time patterns of successful meetings in the past. The schedule adjustment unit also updates the optimal schedule adjustment patterns by having the generation AI continuously learn from past data. For example, it updates the database every time a new success story is added. In this way, optimal schedule adjustment patterns can be generated by learning from past meeting data.

[0039] The schedule adjustment unit updates the individual schedules of participants in real time, making it possible to select the optimal date and time based on the latest information. For example, the schedule adjustment unit builds a system in which the generation AI updates the individual schedules of participants in real time and selects the optimal date and time based on the latest information. For example, it works in conjunction with a calendar app. The schedule adjustment unit also reflects changes in the participants' schedules in real time and dynamically adjusts the optimal meeting date and time. For example, it immediately readjusts the schedule if a change occurs. The schedule adjustment unit also has the generation AI continuously monitor the participants' schedules and select the optimal date and time. For example, it suggests the optimal date and time based on available time in the schedule. In this way, by updating the participants' schedules in real time, the optimal date and time can always be selected based on the latest information.

[0040] The schedule adjustment unit can integrate different meeting schedules and recommend the optimal schedule to avoid overlaps. For example, the schedule adjustment unit builds a system in which the generation AI integrates different meeting schedules and proposes the optimal schedule to avoid overlaps. For example, it centrally manages multiple meeting schedules. The schedule adjustment unit also analyzes different meeting schedules in real time and selects the optimal date and time to avoid overlaps. For example, it automatically reschedules overlapping meetings. The schedule adjustment unit also continuously monitors different meeting schedules with the generation AI and proposes the optimal schedule to avoid overlaps. For example, it immediately reschedules schedules if changes occur. This makes it possible to propose the optimal schedule to avoid overlaps by integrating different meeting schedules.

[0041] The schedule adjustment unit can select the optimal date and time by taking into account the health data of participants. For example, the schedule adjustment unit builds a system in which the generation AI takes into account the health data of participants (e.g., sleep patterns and activity levels) to select the optimal date and time. For example, it works in conjunction with a wearable device. The schedule adjustment unit also identifies the time period in which participants can perform best based on the health data and schedules meetings for that time period. For example, it selects the optimal date and time based on sleep data. The schedule adjustment unit also continuously monitors the health data of participants using the generation AI and dynamically adjusts the optimal meeting date and time. For example, it readjusts the date and time if their health condition changes. This makes it possible to select the optimal date and time by taking into account the health data of participants.

[0042] The schedule adjustment unit can analyze the participants' past attendance rates for the proposed date and time, and prioritize selecting the date and time with the highest attendance rate. For example, the schedule adjustment unit retrieves the participants' past attendance rates for the date and time proposed by the generation AI from a database, and selects the date and time with the highest attendance rate. For example, it evaluates based on attendance rates over the past year. The schedule adjustment unit also proposes the optimal meeting date and time based on attendance rate data. For example, it prioritizes selecting dates and times with high attendance rates. The schedule adjustment unit also has the generation AI continuously monitor attendance rate data, and dynamically adjust the optimal meeting date and time. For example, it readjusts the date and time if attendance rates drop. In this way, the date and time with the highest attendance rate can be selected by analyzing the participants' past attendance rates.

[0043] The schedule adjustment unit can collect participant feedback on the proposed date and time in real time and readjust the optimal date and time. The schedule adjustment unit, for example, builds a system that collects participant feedback on the date and time proposed by the generation AI in real time and readjusts the optimal date and time. For example, it uses online surveys and comment functions. The schedule adjustment unit also analyzes participant feedback in real time and dynamically adjusts the optimal meeting date and time. For example, it readjusts the date and time based on the feedback. The schedule adjustment unit also has the generation AI continuously monitor participant feedback and propose the optimal meeting date and time. For example, it prioritizes selecting dates and times that receive the most feedback. In this way, the optimal date and time can be readjusted by collecting participant feedback in real time.

[0044] The schedule adjustment unit automatically updates the participants' schedules for the proposed date and time, thereby avoiding overlaps with other appointments. The schedule adjustment unit, for example, builds a system that automatically updates the participants' schedules for the proposed date and time, thereby avoiding overlaps with other appointments. For example, it works in conjunction with a calendar app. The schedule adjustment unit also reflects changes in the participants' schedules in real time and selects the optimal date and time to avoid overlaps. For example, it immediately readjusts the schedule if a change occurs. The schedule adjustment unit also continuously monitors the participants' schedules for the proposed date and time, and proposes the optimal date and time to avoid overlaps. For example, it immediately readjusts the schedule if a change occurs. In this way, by automatically updating the participants' schedules, it is possible to avoid overlaps with other appointments.

[0045] The schedule adjustment unit can select the optimal date and time based on the participants' health data for the proposed date and time. The schedule adjustment unit, for example, builds a system that considers the participants' health data (e.g., sleep patterns and activity levels) for the proposed date and time to select the optimal date and time. For example, it works in conjunction with a wearable device. The schedule adjustment unit also identifies a time period in which participants can perform best based on the health data and schedules the meeting for that time period. For example, it selects the optimal date and time based on sleep data. The schedule adjustment unit also continuously monitors the participants' health data for the proposed date and time and dynamically adjusts the optimal meeting date and time. For example, it readjusts the date and time if their health condition changes. In this way, the optimal date and time can be selected by considering the participants' health data.

[0046] The reminder notification unit can analyze participants' past reminder response data and automatically set the optimal notification timing. For example, the generation AI retrieves participants' past reminder response data from a database and automatically sets the optimal notification timing. For example, it evaluates based on past reminder response times. The reminder notification unit also suggests the optimal notification timing based on the reminder response data. For example, it prioritizes selecting time periods with good responses. The reminder notification unit also continuously monitors reminder response data and dynamically adjusts the optimal notification timing. For example, it readjusts the notification timing if the response is poor. In this way, the optimal notification timing can be automatically set by analyzing participants' past reminder response data.

[0047] The reminder notification unit can implement an algorithm that customizes the frequency and content of notifications according to the importance of the meeting. For example, the generation AI implements an algorithm that customizes the frequency and content of notifications based on the importance of the meeting. For example, notifications are sent more frequently for meetings with high importance. The reminder notification unit also customizes the frequency and content of notifications according to the content of the meeting and the status of the participants. For example, detailed notifications are sent if there is an important agenda item. The generation AI also evaluates the importance of the meeting in real time and dynamically adjusts the frequency and content of notifications. For example, the notification content is readjusted if the importance changes. This makes it possible to customize the frequency and content of notifications according to the importance of the meeting, allowing appropriate notifications to be sent to participants.

[0048] The reminder notification unit can send notifications in the optimal format for the participant's device. For example, the generation AI acquires the participant's device information and builds a system to send notifications in the optimal format. For example, it sends push notifications to smartphones and email notifications to PCs. The reminder notification unit also customizes the content and format of notifications depending on the type of device. For example, it sends a short message to a smartwatch and a detailed notification to a PC. The generation AI also monitors the participant's device usage in real time and sends notifications in the optimal format. For example, it adjusts the notification method depending on how often the device is used. This improves the notification reception rate by sending notifications in the optimal format for the participant's device.

[0049] The reminder notification unit can automatically attach relevant materials and links to reminder notifications according to the content of the meeting. For example, the reminder notification unit constructs a system in which a generation AI analyzes the content of the meeting and automatically attaches relevant materials and links to reminder notifications. For example, materials related to the agenda are automatically attached. The reminder notification unit also customizes the materials and links necessary for reminder notifications according to the content of the meeting. For example, presentation materials and reference links are attached. The reminder notification unit also analyzes the content of the meeting in real time using a generation AI and attaches the latest materials and links to reminder notifications. For example, the latest data is reflected just before the meeting. This allows participants to more efficiently prepare by automatically attaching relevant materials and links according to the content of the meeting.

[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 participant information input unit can suggest optimal meeting dates and times based on participants' health data. For example, it can analyze participants' sleep patterns and activity levels to identify the time periods when they perform best. The participant information input unit can also monitor participants' health conditions in real time based on data obtained from wearable devices and dynamically adjust the optimal meeting date and time. For example, if a participant's health condition worsens, the meeting date and time can be readjusted. This allows the optimal meeting date and time to be set by taking the participants' health conditions into consideration.

[0052] The participant information input unit can analyze the content of participants' comments in past meetings and automatically evaluate their areas of expertise and skill sets. For example, it can analyze meeting minutes and audio data to identify participants who frequently comment on specific areas of expertise. The participant information input unit can also evaluate participants' skill sets based on the content of their comments and recommend participants best suited to the content of the meeting. For example, it can recommend technical experts for technical topics. This improves the quality of meetings by taking into account participants' areas of expertise and skill sets.

[0053] The participant information input unit can reflect participants' interests and concerns related to the conference theme based on their social media activity. For example, it can analyze participants' Twitter and LinkedIn posts to extract their interests and concerns related to the conference theme. The participant information input unit can also identify participants' areas of interest based on social media data and reflect these in the conference agenda. For example, it can prioritize inviting participants who are highly interested in a particular topic. This allows the conference theme to be optimized by reflecting participants' interests and concerns.

[0054] The participant information input unit can automatically set the optimal meeting location and time zone for an online meeting based on the participants' geographical location information. For example, it can obtain the participants' geographical location information and select a central meeting room that is easily accessible to all. In the case of an online meeting, it can also take into account the participants' time zones and set a time period that is easy for everyone to participate in. For example, it can select the optimal time when there are participants in different time zones. This makes it possible to set the optimal meeting location and time zone by taking into account the participants' geographical location information.

[0055] The participant information input unit can optimize the progress of a meeting based on the content of comments made by participants in past meetings.

[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.

[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. 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.

[0169] 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.
