[0038] The learning plan creation unit can dynamically adjust the learning plan according to the learner's learning pace and level of comprehension. For example, the learning plan creation unit analyzes the learner's learning pace, and the generation AI dynamically adjusts the learning plan. For example, if the learner is progressing quickly, the generation AI suggests moving on to the next unit. The learning plan creation unit also dynamically adjusts the learning plan based on the learner's level of comprehension. For example, if the learner's level of comprehension is low, the generation AI suggests review. The learning plan creation unit also monitors the learner's learning pace and level of comprehension in real time, and the generation AI dynamically adjusts the learning plan. For example, if the learner is falling behind, the schedule is adjusted. In this way, the learning effect can be improved by dynamically adjusting the learning plan according to the learner's learning pace and level of comprehension.
[0039] The learning plan creation unit can create a learning plan that integrates a learner's short-term and long-term goals and provide an overall learning strategy. For example, the learning plan creation unit collects a learner's short-term and long-term goals, and the generation AI creates a learning plan that integrates them. For example, it provides a plan for understanding a specific unit in one month and completing the entire curriculum in one year. The learning plan creation unit also provides an overall learning strategy based on the learner's short-term and long-term goals.

For example, if the learner is feeling stressed, the learning amount can be reduced. The emotional plan adjustment unit can also monitor the learner's emotional state in real time, and the generation AI can dynamically adjust the learning plan. For example, if the learner is highly motivated, the learning amount can be increased. Furthermore, the emotional plan adjustment unit can use the emotion estimation function to adjust the learning plan according to the learner's emotional state. For example, if the learner is tired, the learning plan can be adjusted to take more breaks. In this way, the learning effect can be improved by adjusting the learning plan according to the learner's emotional state.
[0097] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0098] Step 1: The information collection unit collects information about the learner. For example, information such as learning style, interests, and learning goals is collected in the form of prompts or questionnaires entered by the learner. The information collection unit can also collect the learner's past learning history and performance data. Furthermore, the information collection unit can also collect the learner's physiological data (for example, heart rate and stress level). Step 2: The tutor generation unit generates a tutor based on the learner's information collected by the information collection unit. For example, the generation AI suggests learning materials and teaching methods that match the learner's learning style and interests. The tutor generation unit can also generate learning materials that incorporate relevant real-world examples and applications based on the learner's interests. Step 3: The learning plan creation unit creates a learning plan based on the tutor generated by the tutor generation unit. For example, the generation AI creates a specific learning plan based on the learner's learning goals. The learning plan creation unit can also dynamically adjust the learning plan according to the learner's learning pace and level of understanding. Step 4: The progress management unit manages the learning progress based on the learning plan created by the learning plan creation unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the learner's progress data, identifies learning bottlenecks, and proposes improvement measures. The progress management unit can also compare the learner's self-assessment with the generation AI's assessment to improve self-awareness. Step 5: The motivation maintenance unit maintains the learner's motivation based on the progress managed by the progress management unit. For example, the generation AI provides praise and encouraging messages according to the learner's emotional state. The motivation maintenance unit can also periodically provide content and activities that will attract the learner's interest.

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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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."
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
