[0028] (Example 1) The SaaS selection support tool according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports companies in improving business efficiency by combining and using SaaS that are optimal for their business operations. As a result, the SaaS selection support tool can propose optimal SaaS based on the business operations and needs of the company, and optimize the combination.
[0029] The SaaS selection support tool according to the embodiment includes a business content analysis unit, a SaaS proposal unit, and a combination optimization unit. The business content analysis unit analyzes a company's business content and needs. For example, the generation AI collects information on business flows, business processes, and currently used tools and systems provided by the company and performs analysis based on that information. The generation AI performs analysis based on prompts containing detailed information on the company's business content and needs. The SaaS proposal unit proposes optimal SaaS based on the business content and needs analyzed by the business content analysis unit. For example, the generation AI lists SaaS necessary for the company's business, such as project management tools, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and accounting software, and explains the features and benefits of each. The generation AI selects the SaaS that best meets the company's needs and clearly explains the reasons for its selection. The combination optimization unit optimizes the combination of SaaS proposed by the SaaS proposal unit. For example, the generation AI proposes optimal combinations to ensure smooth collaboration and data integration between different SaaS. The generation AI analyzes the APIs and data formats of each SaaS and optimizes the integration method and data flow. As a result, the SaaS selection support tool according to the embodiment can support business efficiency by proposing the optimal SaaS based on the business content and needs of the company and optimizing the combination of these SaaS.
[0030] The business content analysis unit collects information on the business flows and business processes provided by a company, as well as the tools and systems currently in use, and can perform analysis based on that information. For example, in the business content analysis unit, the generation AI analyzes a company's business flows and evaluates the time and resource usage of each process. For example, if a particular task is taking an excessive amount of time, the generation AI identifies the cause and makes specific improvement proposals for efficiency. The generation AI also analyzes a company's business processes and automatically detects duplicate tasks and unnecessary steps. For example, if the same data needs to be entered multiple times, the generation AI makes proposals to automate that procedure. The generation AI also analyzes a company's business data and identifies bottlenecks. For example, if the approval process in a particular department is delayed, the generation AI makes proposals to simplify that process. This allows for a more accurate understanding of business content by performing analysis based on information on a company's business flows, business processes, and the tools and systems currently in use.
[0031] The SaaS proposal department can list the SaaS required for a company's business and explain the features and benefits of each. For example, the SaaS proposal department's generation AI analyzes a company's past business data and predicts seasonal fluctuations in workload. For example, if business is concentrated in a particular season, the generation AI can propose the resources needed for that period in advance. The generation AI can also analyze market trend data and identify trends that may affect the company's business. For example, when a new technology or product appears on the market, the generation AI can predict its impact and propose countermeasures. The generation AI can also integrate a company's business data with market data to dynamically predict future needs. For example, it can identify products and services that are likely to see a sudden increase in demand in advance and propose countermeasures. This makes it easier for companies to select the optimal SaaS by listing the SaaS required for a company's business and explaining the features and benefits of each.
[0032] The combinatorial optimization unit can propose optimal combinations to ensure smooth collaboration and data integration between different SaaS. For example, the combinatorial optimization unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotional data of a company's employees, identify parts of the business process where stress increases, and propose improvement measures. For example, the emotion estimation function can be used to collect employee emotional data in real time and identify parts of the business process where stress increases. For example, if a specific task or meeting causes stress, the unit can propose improvement measures. The combinatorial optimization unit can also analyze employee emotional data to identify the time of day or day of the week when stress increases. For example, if stress increases before the weekend or at the end of the month, the unit can propose ways to reduce workloads during those times. The combinatorial optimization unit can also propose specific improvement measures to reduce employee stress based on the emotion estimation data. For example, the unit can propose a relaxing environment or a training program to reduce stress. This allows the unit to propose optimal combinations to ensure smooth collaboration and data integration between different SaaS, thereby improving business efficiency.
[0033] The business content analysis unit analyzes a company's business flow, evaluates the time and resource usage of each process, identifies inefficient areas, and makes improvement proposals. For example, in the business content analysis unit, the generation AI analyzes a company's business flow and evaluates the time and resource usage of each process. For example, if a particular task is taking an excessive amount of time, it identifies the cause and makes specific improvement proposals for improving efficiency. The generation AI also analyzes a company's business processes and automatically detects duplicate tasks and unnecessary steps. For example, if the same data needs to be entered multiple times, it makes a proposal to automate that procedure. The generation AI also analyzes a company's business data and identifies bottlenecks. For example, if the approval process in a particular department is delayed, it makes a proposal to simplify the process. In this way, the company's business flow is analyzed, inefficient areas are identified, and improvement proposals are made, thereby improving business efficiency.
[0034] When analyzing a company's business operations, the business content analysis unit takes into account seasonal fluctuations in business operations and market trends, allowing it to dynamically predict needs. For example, in the business content analysis unit, the generation AI analyzes a company's past business data and predicts seasonal fluctuations in workload. For example, if business is concentrated in a particular season, the generation AI will propose in advance the resources needed for that period. The generation AI also analyzes market trend data and identifies trends that may affect the company's business operations. For example, when a new technology or product appears on the market, the generation AI predicts its impact and proposes countermeasures. The generation AI also integrates the company's business data with market data to dynamically predict future needs. For example, it identifies products or services that are likely to see a sudden increase in demand and proposes countermeasures. This allows the generation AI to take seasonal fluctuations and market trends into account when analyzing a company's business operations, dynamically predicting needs and enabling more appropriate proposals.
[0035] The business content analysis unit can analyze feedback and reviews from a company's customers and make business improvement proposals from the customer's perspective. In the business content analysis unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes feedback and reviews from a company's customers and makes business improvement proposals from the customer's perspective. For example, it identifies areas where customers are dissatisfied and proposes improvement measures. It also identifies areas for improvement in the company's products and services based on customer feedback data. For example, it makes proposals to add functions and services that customers want. The generation AI also analyzes customer reviews and proposes specific improvement measures to improve customer satisfaction. For example, it makes proposals to strengthen areas that customers rate highly and improve areas that they rate poorly. In this way, customer satisfaction is improved by analyzing customer feedback and reviews and making business improvement proposals from the customer's perspective.
[0036] The business content analysis unit analyzes a company's supply chain information and can improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain. In the business content analysis unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes a company's supply chain information and makes proposals to improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain. For example, it proposes optimization of inventory management and logistics. It also identifies inefficiencies that occur at each stage of the supply chain and proposes improvements. For example, it proposes specific measures to prevent delivery delays and excess inventory. The generation AI also proposes cost reduction measures for the entire supply chain based on the supply chain information. For example, it makes proposals to reduce transportation costs and improve inventory turnover. In this way, by analyzing supply chain information and improving the efficiency of the entire supply chain, business efficiency and cost reduction are achieved.
[0037] The SaaS proposal unit can select the optimal tool by taking into consideration the complexity and scale of a company's business processes. For example, the generation AI in the SaaS proposal unit analyzes the complexity of a company's business processes and proposes the optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, if complex project management is required, an advanced project management tool will be proposed. The SaaS proposal unit also selects the appropriate SaaS by taking into consideration the scale of the company's business. For example, it proposes highly scalable tools for large companies and cost-effective tools for small and medium-sized enterprises. The generation AI also analyzes the details of a company's business processes and selects the optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, it proposes tools specialized for specific business flows. In this way, the optimal tool is selected by taking into consideration the complexity and scale of a company's business processes, thereby improving business efficiency.
[0038] The SaaS proposal unit is able to select the optimal tool from a long-term perspective, taking into account the future scalability of a company's business processes. For example, the SaaS proposal unit uses a generation AI to analyze the future scalability of a company's business processes and propose the optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, if there is a possibility that business operations will expand in the future, it will propose a highly scalable tool. The SaaS proposal unit also selects the optimal SaaS from a long-term perspective, taking into account the company's growth plans. For example, it will propose a tool that allows new functions to be added in the future. The generation AI also predicts future changes in a company's business processes and selects the optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, if there is a possibility that business operations will change, it will propose a highly flexible tool. In this way, sustainable business efficiency can be achieved by selecting the optimal tool from a long-term perspective, taking into account the future scalability of a company's business processes.
[0039] The SaaS proposal unit can refer to the tools used by a company's competitors and propose tools to strengthen competitiveness. For example, the SaaS proposal unit uses a generation AI to analyze the tools used by a company's competitors and propose optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, it refers to tools that competitors have been successful with. It also proposes SaaS to strengthen the company's competitiveness based on the competitors' tool usage status. For example, it proposes new tools that competitors are not using. The generation AI also analyzes competitors' tool usage data and proposes optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, it makes proposals that take advantage of the advantages of tools used by competitors. In this way, it improves a company's competitiveness by referring to the tools used by competitors and proposing tools to strengthen competitiveness.
[0040] The SaaS proposal unit can consider the environmental impact of a company's business processes and propose eco-friendly tools. For example, the SaaS proposal unit uses a generation AI to analyze the environmental impact of a company's business processes and propose eco-friendly SaaS based on the results. For example, it selects tools that are highly energy-efficient. It also sets SaaS selection criteria that consider the environmental impact and proposes tools that are optimal for the company's business processes. For example, it selects tools with a low carbon footprint. It also analyzes environmental impact data of a company's business processes and proposes eco-friendly SaaS based on the results. For example, it selects tools that use recyclable materials. In this way, it considers the environmental impact of business processes and proposes eco-friendly tools, thereby reducing the company's environmental impact.
[0041] The combinatorial optimization unit automates data integration between each tool and can propose protocols for maintaining data consistency. For example, the generative AI in the combinatorial optimization unit analyzes the APIs of each SaaS and proposes protocols for automating data integration. For example, it optimizes data format conversion and the order of API calls. It also generates scripts and code for automating data integration between each tool and maintains data consistency. For example, it automates data synchronization and error handling. The generative AI also analyzes the data formats of each SaaS and proposes standard protocols for automating data integration. For example, it maintains data consistency by using a common data format. This automates data integration between each tool and proposes protocols for maintaining data consistency, improving data consistency and efficiency.
[0042] The combination optimization unit can monitor the frequency of use and performance of each tool in real time and dynamically adjust the optimal combination. For example, the generation AI in the combination optimization unit monitors the frequency of use and performance of each SaaS in real time and dynamically adjusts the optimal combination based on that data. For example, it prioritizes the combination of frequently used tools. It also analyzes the performance data of each tool and proposes the optimal combination. For example, it proposes replacing a tool with a deteriorating performance with another tool. The generation AI also monitors the usage status of each SaaS in real time and dynamically adjusts the optimal combination based on that data. For example, it removes tools that are used infrequently and adds necessary tools. In this way, the efficiency of the system is improved by monitoring the frequency of use and performance of each tool in real time and dynamically adjusting the optimal combination.
[0043] The combinatorial optimization unit can combine tools from different industries and fields to create new business processes. For example, the generative AI in the combinatorial optimization unit analyzes tools from different industries and fields and creates new business processes by combining them. For example, combining tools from the medical field with tools from the manufacturing field. Also, by combining tools from different industries, new business processes are proposed. For example, combining tools from the financial industry with tools from the retail industry. Also, the generative AI analyzes tools from different fields and creates new business processes by combining them. For example, combining tools from the education field with tools from the entertainment field. In this way, by combining tools from different industries and fields to create new business processes, business innovation and efficiency are achieved.
[0044] The combinatorial optimization unit can actively utilize open source tools to reduce costs. For example, the generative AI in the combinatorial optimization unit analyzes open source tools and makes proposals to reduce costs by combining them. For example, it may prioritize proposals for open source tools that can be used for free. Combining open source tools also reduces costs for companies. For example, it may propose replacing paid tools with open source tools. The generative AI also analyzes open source tools and combines them to reduce costs. For example, it may propose reducing license fees by using open source tools. This actively utilizes open source tools to reduce costs, thereby reducing the financial burden on companies.
[0045] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0046] The SaaS proposal department can select the optimal tool by taking into account the complexity and scale of a company's business processes. For example, the generation AI analyzes the complexity of a company's business processes and proposes the optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, if complex project management is required, it will propose an advanced project management tool. The generation AI also selects the appropriate SaaS by taking into account the scale of the company's business. For example, it will propose highly scalable tools for large companies and cost-effective tools for small and medium-sized enterprises. The generation AI also analyzes the details of a company's business processes and selects the optimal SaaS based on the results. For example, it will propose tools specialized for specific business flows.

[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.

[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.

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.
