[0119] Example 1
[0120] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0121] Previous character profile generation systems faced challenges in accurately reflecting the user's desired character characteristics and goals. Furthermore, they lacked an interface for utilizing the generated character profile across a variety of devices, limiting user interaction. Furthermore, real-time interaction and collaboration between the user and the generating AI in the virtual space often did not proceed smoothly, which compromised the user experience.
[0122] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0123] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and goals of a character to be generated, storage means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for sending the character profile generated by the expert to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for generating a character profile using a generative AI model, and means for activating the generative AI model based on a prompt sentence input by the user. This makes it possible to generate a character profile with characteristics and goals specified in detail by the user and to effectively implement the profile in a variety of devices and virtual spaces.
[0124] A "user" is an entity that uses the system to input a character's characteristics and goals and then uses the generative AI model based on them.
[0125] "Character characteristics and purpose" refers to the specific appearance, personality, and use of the character that a user creates through a generative AI model.
[0126] "Means of input" refers to the interface or operating means by which a user inputs the character's characteristics and goals into the system.
[0127] "Storage means" refers to a storage device for storing information entered by a user and generated character profiles.
[0128] "Assignment means" refers to the mechanism that automatically assigns design tasks to experts based on the character information entered by the user.
[0129] "Expert" refers to a professional with specific skills and knowledge to create character designs and profiles.
[0130] "Means of transmission" refers to the means of communication used to deliver the character profile generated by the expert to the user.
[0131] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates a character profile based on user input information.
[0132] A "prompt" is an instruction that the user inputs to the generating AI, clearly stating the character's characteristics and objectives.
[0133] "Mobile device" refers to a portable electronic device such as a smartwatch or smart glasses.
[0134] "Virtual space" refers to a digital environment in which users and generative AI can interact and collaborate.
[0135] "Data stream" refers to the real-time flow of data and transmission of information within a virtual space.
[0136] This invention is a system in which users specify the characteristics and goals of a character using a generative AI model, and a character profile is generated and provided by experts. This system also has the function of implementing the generated character profile on a mobile device or in a virtual space, enabling interaction with the user.
[0137] First, users access a dedicated web portal and input their desired character's characteristics and purpose, such as a prompt such as "a brave knight with a polite personality and a deep male voice." To do so, users use their browser to enter their details into a form provided after logging in.
[0138] The server then receives the user-entered information and stores it in a database, using the Django framework to process the form data and storing it in AWS RDS. This information is then assigned to an expert before being processed using a generative AI model.
[0139] Expert designers and storytellers receive task notifications on their devices. Designers use Adobe Creative Cloud, and storytellers use Google Docs to create character profiles. Once created, they upload them to the server, which stores the uploaded files in AWS S3 and notifies the user.
[0140] Once notified, users can review the character profile and provide feedback if necessary. If a redesign is required, the server will resubmit the feedback to the experts, facilitating the revision process. This process is streamlined using Slack API integration.
[0141] The final character profile is installed on the user's mobile device. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the downloaded character profile to the device via an API. A dedicated app on the device then launches, loads the character profile, and operates.
[0142] The system also provides the ability for users and the generated AI to interact and collaborate in a virtual space. The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users can access the virtual space using their own PC or VR device and interact with the generated AI characters there. Specifically, a PC equipped with an NVIDIA GPU renders the virtual space created in Unity in real time and displays it on Oculus Rift.
[0143] Thus, the present invention aims to provide a system for characterizing generative AI and actually utilizing it, and to provide an environment in which users can interact with generative AI in a friendly manner in a variety of ways.
[0144] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0148] What happens: The user fires up a browser, enters a URL, logs into a dedicated web portal, and then fills in a form with their specific preferences.
[0149] Output: The entered information is generated as form data.
[0150] Step 2:
[0151] Receiving and storing information on the server
[0152] Input: The form data entered by the user in step 1.
[0153] Processing: The server receives the form data using the Django framework and stores it in AWS RDS. It validates the data format before saving it to the database.

[0155] Step 3:
[0156] Automatic task assignment
[0157] Input: User input information stored in the database.
[0158] Processing: The server automatically assigns tasks to designers and storytellers using a task management system (e.g., Slack API integration) based on the stored data. Notifications are sent to the responsible parties during this process.
[0159] Output: Designers and Storytellers receive task notifications.
[0160] Step 4:
[0161] Character design generation by designers and storytellers
[0162] Input: Designers and Storytellers who receive task notifications.
[0163] Process: The designer creates character designs using Adobe Creative Cloud. The storyteller creates character storylines using Google Docs. Both parties upload the completed files to the server.
[0164] Output: The completed character profile is uploaded to the server.
[0165] Step 5:
[0166] Profile verification and transmission by the server
[0167] Input: Uploaded character profile.
[0168] Processing: The server saves the uploaded file to AWS S3, sends a notification email to the user, and verifies the integrity of the saved file.
[0169] Output: A notification email to the user and a saved character profile.
[0170] Step 6:
[0171] User feedback and fixes
[0172] Input: The character profile sent to the user.
[0173] Action: The user clicks the link in the email to access the confirmation page and enters their feedback, which the server then sends back to the experts to facilitate the correction.
[0174] Output: Designers and storytellers who received the revision request, along with the revised character profile.
[0175] Step 7:
[0176] Installing the final character profile on your device
[0177] Input: Final character profile.
[0178] Processing: Users download and install their character profiles using a dedicated mobile device app. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the profiles to the devices and track and manage the installation progress.
[0179] Output: Character profile installed on the handheld device.
[0180] Step 8:
[0181] Virtual space dialogue and collaboration
[0182] Input: Final character profile and user's PC / VR device.
[0183] Processing: The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users log in to the virtual space using a PC or VR device and interact with the characters.
[0184] Output: Real-time interaction and collaboration in virtual space.
[0185] Step 9:
[0186] Data stream management and storage
[0187] Input: Real-time interaction data in virtual space.
[0188] Processing: The server manages and, if necessary, stores the data streams generated within the virtual world. This processing includes checking the integrity of the data in real time and storing it for later analysis.
[0189] Output: The saved data stream.
[0190] In this way, each processing step is configured to perform data processing and calculations based on specific input data, and then pass the output to the next step.
[0191] (Application example 1)
[0192] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0193] Conventional home security systems have limited user interaction, lacking a sense of security and ease of operation. Furthermore, many systems have mechanical intrusion detection and notification mechanisms, making them unfriendly to users. This has led to problems that make it difficult for users to actively use security systems.
[0194] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0195] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and purpose of a character to be generated, database means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for the expert to send the generated character profile to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for incorporating the character profile into the security system, and means for the generating AI to detect unauthorized intrusion and notify the user. This allows users to enjoy an interactive security experience using characters that meet their individual needs.
[0196] A "user" is an individual or corporation that uses the system to input the characteristics and goals of a character and enjoys services using the generation AI.
[0197] "Character characteristics" refers to the specific characteristics, appearance, personality, voice quality, and other attribute information of the character desired by the user.
[0198] "Purpose" refers to the specific use or purpose for which the user will use the character, such as home security or conversation.
[0199] "Database means" means a system for temporarily or permanently storing and saving information entered by users.
[0200] An "expert" is someone who specializes in character design and profile creation.
[0201] A "character profile" is a profile that contains detailed attribute information of a character created by an expert.
[0202] A "security system" is a system of technical devices and software that ensures safety within a home or business.
[0203] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence technology that generates a character profile based on input data and allows that character to interact with the user.
[0204] "Means of notification" refers to a method or system for notifying users when an abnormality such as unauthorized intrusion is detected.
[0205] The present invention is a system that incorporates characterization using generative AI into a home security system, providing an environment where users can interact with the system more interactively. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0523] The server assigns tasks based on the information entered by the user to the dedicated devices of the designers and storytellers. The experts use dedicated software to generate character profiles and send the results back to the server. The server then checks the generated profiles and sends them to the users. If necessary, it receives feedback from users and promotes redesign.
[0524] 3. Emotion Analysis and Adaptive Dialogue
[0525] When a user wears smart glasses and interacts with customers in a physical store, the emotion analysis library analyzes the customer's emotions in real time. Based on the analysis results, the server uses generative AI to generate adaptive dialogue and displays it on the smart glasses. For example, if the customer is smiling, a message such as "Hello, what a wonderful day today!" will be displayed.
[0526] Example prompt
[0527] Below is an example of a prompt you can use to generate a character profile:
[0528] Generate your character profile:
[0529] Username: User A
[0530] Age: 30
[0531] Intended use: Product description
[0532] Desired appearance: Friendly appearance
[0533] Desired personality: Friendly and easy-going
[0534] Profile Contents:
[0535] {
[0536] "friendly_greeting": "Hello, what a great day today!",
[0537] "comforting_message": "You seem a little tired. Please take your time choosing.",
[0538] "neutral_greeting": "Welcome! What product are you looking for?"
[0539] }
[0540] This enables the system to provide personalized dialogue according to the user's or customer's emotions, improving customer satisfaction.
[0541] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0542] Step 1:

[0696] Example 1
[0697] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0698] Previous character profile generation systems faced challenges in accurately reflecting the user's desired character characteristics and goals. Furthermore, they lacked an interface for utilizing the generated character profile across a variety of devices, limiting user interaction. Furthermore, real-time interaction and collaboration between the user and the generating AI in the virtual space often did not proceed smoothly, which compromised the user experience.
[0699] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0700] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and goals of a character to be generated, storage means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for sending the character profile generated by the expert to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for generating a character profile using a generative AI model, and means for activating the generative AI model based on a prompt sentence input by the user. This makes it possible to generate a character profile with characteristics and goals specified in detail by the user and to effectively implement the profile in a variety of devices and virtual spaces.
[0701] A "user" is an entity that uses the system to input a character's characteristics and goals and then uses the generative AI model based on them.
[0702] "Character characteristics and purpose" refers to the specific appearance, personality, and use of the character that a user creates through a generative AI model.
[0703] "Means of input" refers to the interface or operating means by which a user inputs the character's characteristics and goals into the system.
[0704] "Storage means" refers to a storage device for storing information entered by a user and generated character profiles.
[0705] "Assignment means" refers to the mechanism that automatically assigns design tasks to experts based on the character information entered by the user.
[0706] "Expert" refers to a professional with specific skills and knowledge to create character designs and profiles.
[0707] "Means of transmission" refers to the means of communication used to deliver the character profile generated by the expert to the user.
[0708] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates a character profile based on user input information.
[0709] A "prompt" is an instruction that the user inputs to the generating AI, clearly stating the character's characteristics and objectives.
[0710] "Mobile device" refers to a portable electronic device such as a smartwatch or smart glasses.
[0711] "Virtual space" refers to a digital environment in which users and generative AI can interact and collaborate.
[0712] "Data stream" refers to the real-time flow of data and transmission of information within a virtual space.
[0713] This invention is a system in which users specify the characteristics and goals of a character using a generative AI model, and a character profile is generated and provided by experts. This system also has the function of implementing the generated character profile on a mobile device or in a virtual space, enabling interaction with the user.
[0714] First, users access a dedicated web portal and input their desired character's characteristics and purpose, such as a prompt such as "a brave knight with a polite personality and a deep male voice." To do so, users use their browser to enter their details into a form provided after logging in.
[0715] The server then receives the user-entered information and stores it in a database, using the Django framework to process the form data and storing it in AWS RDS. This information is then assigned to an expert before being processed using a generative AI model.
[0716] Expert designers and storytellers receive task notifications on their devices. Designers use Adobe Creative Cloud, and storytellers use Google Docs to create character profiles. Once created, they upload them to the server, which stores the uploaded files in AWS S3 and notifies the user.
[0717] Once notified, users can review the character profile and provide feedback if necessary. If a redesign is required, the server will resubmit the feedback to the experts, facilitating the revision process. This process is streamlined using Slack API integration.
[0718] The final character profile is installed on the user's mobile device. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the downloaded character profile to the device via an API. A dedicated app on the device then launches, loads the character profile, and operates.
[0719] The system also provides the ability for users and the generated AI to interact and collaborate in a virtual space. The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users can access the virtual space using their own PC or VR device and interact with the generated AI characters there. Specifically, a PC equipped with an NVIDIA GPU renders the virtual space created in Unity in real time and displays it on Oculus Rift.
[0720] Thus, the present invention aims to provide a system for characterizing generative AI and actually utilizing it, and to provide an environment in which users can interact with generative AI in a friendly manner in a variety of ways.

[0727] Step 2:
[0728] Receiving and storing information on the server
[0729] Input: The form data entered by the user in step 1.
[0730] Processing: The server receives the form data using the Django framework and stores it in AWS RDS. It validates the data format before saving it to the database.

[0732] Step 3:
[0733] Automatic task assignment
[0734] Input: User input information stored in the database.

[0736] Output: Designers and Storytellers receive task notifications.
[0737] Step 4:
[0738] Character design generation by designers and storytellers
[0739] Input: Designers and Storytellers who receive task notifications.
[0740] Process: The designer creates character designs using Adobe Creative Cloud. The storyteller creates character storylines using Google Docs. Both parties upload the completed files to the server.
[0741] Output: The completed character profile is uploaded to the server.
[0742] Step 5:
[0743] Profile verification and transmission by the server
[0744] Input: Uploaded character profile.
[0745] Processing: The server saves the uploaded file to AWS S3, sends a notification email to the user, and verifies the integrity of the saved file.
[0746] Output: A notification email to the user and a saved character profile.
[0747] Step 6:
[0748] User feedback and fixes
[0749] Input: The character profile sent to the user.
[0750] Action: The user clicks the link in the email to access the confirmation page and enters their feedback, which the server then sends back to the experts to facilitate the correction.

[0752] Step 7:
[0753] Installing the final character profile on your device
[0754] Input: Final character profile.
[0755] Processing: Users download and install their character profiles using a dedicated mobile device app. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the profiles to the devices and track and manage the installation progress.
[0756] Output: Character profile installed on the handheld device.
[0757] Step 8:
[0758] Virtual space dialogue and collaboration
[0759] Input: Final character profile and user's PC / VR device.
[0760] Processing: The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users log in to the virtual space using a PC or VR device and interact with the characters.
[0761] Output: Real-time interaction and collaboration in virtual space.
[0762] Step 9:
[0763] Data stream management and storage
[0764] Input: Real-time interaction data in virtual space.
[0765] Processing: The server manages and, if necessary, stores the data streams generated within the virtual world. This processing includes checking the integrity of the data in real time and storing it for later analysis.
[0766] Output: The saved data stream.
[0767] In this way, each processing step is configured to perform data processing and calculations based on specific input data, and then pass the output to the next step.
[0768] (Application example 1)
[0769] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0770] Conventional home security systems have limited user interaction, lacking a sense of security and ease of operation. Furthermore, many systems have mechanical intrusion detection and notification mechanisms, making them unfriendly to users. This has led to problems that make it difficult for users to actively use security systems.
[0771] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[0772] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and purpose of a character to be generated, database means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for the expert to send the generated character profile to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for incorporating the character profile into the security system, and means for the generating AI to detect unauthorized intrusion and notify the user. This allows users to enjoy an interactive security experience using characters that meet their individual needs.
[0773] A "user" is an individual or corporation that uses the system to input the characteristics and goals of a character and enjoys services using the generation AI.
[0774] "Character characteristics" refers to the specific characteristics, appearance, personality, voice quality, and other attribute information of the character desired by the user.
[0775] "Purpose" refers to the specific use or purpose for which the user will use the character, such as home security or conversation.
[0776] "Database means" means a system for temporarily or permanently storing and saving information entered by users.
[0777] An "expert" is someone who specializes in character design and profile creation.
[0778] A "character profile" is a profile that contains detailed attribute information of a character created by an expert.
[0779] A "security system" is a system of technical devices and software that ensures safety within a home or business.
[0780] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence technology that generates a character profile based on input data and allows that character to interact with the user.
[0781] "Means of notification" refers to a method or system for notifying users when an abnormality such as unauthorized intrusion is detected.
[0782] The present invention is a system that incorporates characterization using generative AI into a home security system, providing an environment where users can interact with the system more interactively. Specific embodiments of the system are described below.

[0949] Currently, character profile creation and user interaction using generative AI lack adaptive responses that take the user's emotions into account, making it difficult to provide an individually customized experience. Another issue is the complex process of applying generated characters to wearable devices or the metaverse, which requires a lot of effort from the user. Furthermore, systems that can collaborate with real robots to provide adaptive interaction are still underdeveloped.
[0950] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[0951] In this invention, the server includes means for analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions to acquire emotional data, means for adaptively adjusting the reaction of the generation AI based on the emotional data, and means for the generation AI to engage in dialogue based on the user's emotions, thereby enabling personalized dialogue and adaptive reactions from the generation AI in accordance with the user's individual emotions.
[0952] "User" means an individual or legal entity that uses the system to create and interact with a character profile.
[0953] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence model that generates specific character profiles and engages in dialogue based on user requests.
[0954] A "character profile" is data that describes in detail a character's appearance, personality, voice quality, and other characteristics.

[1174] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1175] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. 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.

[1273] Example 1
[1274] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1275] Previous character profile generation systems faced challenges in accurately reflecting the user's desired character characteristics and goals. Furthermore, they lacked an interface for utilizing the generated character profile across a variety of devices, limiting user interaction. Furthermore, real-time interaction and collaboration between the user and the generating AI in the virtual space often did not proceed smoothly, which compromised the user experience.
[1276] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1277] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and goals of a character to be generated, storage means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for sending the character profile generated by the expert to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for generating a character profile using a generative AI model, and means for activating the generative AI model based on a prompt sentence input by the user. This makes it possible to generate a character profile with characteristics and goals specified in detail by the user and to effectively implement the profile in a variety of devices and virtual spaces.
[1278] A "user" is an entity that uses the system to input a character's characteristics and goals and then uses the generative AI model based on them.
[1279] "Character characteristics and purpose" refers to the specific appearance, personality, and use of the character that a user creates through a generative AI model.
[1280] "Means of input" refers to the interface or operating means by which a user inputs the character's characteristics and goals into the system.
[1281] "Storage means" refers to a storage device for storing information entered by a user and generated character profiles.
[1282] "Assignment means" refers to the mechanism that automatically assigns design tasks to experts based on the character information entered by the user.
[1283] "Expert" refers to a professional with specific skills and knowledge to create character designs and profiles.
[1284] "Means of transmission" refers to the means of communication used to deliver the character profile generated by the expert to the user.
[1285] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates a character profile based on user input information.
[1286] A "prompt" is an instruction that the user inputs to the generating AI, clearly stating the character's characteristics and objectives.
[1287] "Mobile device" refers to a portable electronic device such as a smartwatch or smart glasses.
[1288] "Virtual space" refers to a digital environment in which users and generative AI can interact and collaborate.
[1289] "Data stream" refers to the real-time flow of data and transmission of information within a virtual space.
[1290] This invention is a system in which users specify the characteristics and goals of a character using a generative AI model, and a character profile is generated and provided by experts. This system also has the function of implementing the generated character profile on a mobile device or in a virtual space, enabling interaction with the user.
[1291] First, users access a dedicated web portal and input their desired character's characteristics and purpose, such as a prompt such as "a brave knight with a polite personality and a deep male voice." To do so, users use their browser to enter their details into a form provided after logging in.
[1292] The server then receives the user-entered information and stores it in a database, using the Django framework to process the form data and storing it in AWS RDS. This information is then assigned to an expert before being processed using a generative AI model.
[1293] Expert designers and storytellers receive task notifications on their devices. Designers use Adobe Creative Cloud, and storytellers use Google Docs to create character profiles. Once created, they upload them to the server, which stores the uploaded files in AWS S3 and notifies the user.
[1294] Once notified, users can review the character profile and provide feedback if necessary. If a redesign is required, the server will resubmit the feedback to the experts, facilitating the revision process. This process is streamlined using Slack API integration.
[1295] The final character profile is installed on the user's mobile device. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the downloaded character profile to the device via an API. A dedicated app on the device then launches, loads the character profile, and operates.
[1296] The system also provides the ability for users and the generated AI to interact and collaborate in a virtual space. The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users can access the virtual space using their own PC or VR device and interact with the generated AI characters there. Specifically, a PC equipped with an NVIDIA GPU renders the virtual space created in Unity in real time and displays it on Oculus Rift.
[1297] Thus, the present invention aims to provide a system for characterizing generative AI and actually utilizing it, and to provide an environment in which users can interact with generative AI in a friendly manner in a variety of ways.

[1309] Step 3:
[1310] Automatic task assignment
[1311] Input: User input information stored in the database.

[1313] Output: Designers and Storytellers receive task notifications.
[1314] Step 4:
[1315] Character design generation by designers and storytellers
[1316] Input: Designers and Storytellers who receive task notifications.
[1317] Process: The designer creates character designs using Adobe Creative Cloud. The storyteller creates character storylines using Google Docs. Both parties upload the completed files to the server.
[1318] Output: The completed character profile is uploaded to the server.
[1319] Step 5:
[1320] Profile verification and transmission by the server
[1321] Input: Uploaded character profile.
[1322] Processing: The server saves the uploaded file to AWS S3, sends a notification email to the user, and verifies the integrity of the saved file.
[1323] Output: A notification email to the user and a saved character profile.
[1324] Step 6:
[1325] User feedback and fixes
[1326] Input: The character profile sent to the user.
[1327] Action: The user clicks the link in the email to access the confirmation page and enters their feedback, which the server then sends back to the experts to facilitate the correction.

[1329] Step 7:
[1330] Installing the final character profile on your device
[1331] Input: Final character profile.
[1332] Processing: Users download and install their character profiles using a dedicated mobile device app. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the profiles to the devices and track and manage the installation progress.
[1333] Output: Character profile installed on the handheld device.
[1334] Step 8:
[1335] Virtual space dialogue and collaboration
[1336] Input: Final character profile and user's PC / VR device.
[1337] Processing: The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users log in to the virtual space using a PC or VR device and interact with the characters.
[1338] Output: Real-time interaction and collaboration in virtual space.
[1339] Step 9:
[1340] Data stream management and storage
[1341] Input: Real-time interaction data in virtual space.
[1342] Processing: The server manages and, if necessary, stores the data streams generated within the virtual world. This processing includes checking the integrity of the data in real time and storing it for later analysis.
[1343] Output: The saved data stream.
[1344] In this way, each processing step is configured to perform data processing and calculations based on specific input data, and then pass the output to the next step.
[1345] (Application example 1)
[1346] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1347] Conventional home security systems have limited user interaction, lacking a sense of security and ease of operation. Furthermore, many systems have mechanical intrusion detection and notification mechanisms, making them unfriendly to users. This has led to problems that make it difficult for users to actively use security systems.
[1348] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.
[1349] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and purpose of a character to be generated, database means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for the expert to send the generated character profile to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for incorporating the character profile into the security system, and means for the generating AI to detect unauthorized intrusion and notify the user. This allows users to enjoy an interactive security experience using characters that meet their individual needs.
[1350] A "user" is an individual or corporation that uses the system to input the characteristics and goals of a character and enjoys services using the generation AI.
[1351] "Character characteristics" refers to the specific characteristics, appearance, personality, voice quality, and other attribute information of the character desired by the user.
[1352] "Purpose" refers to the specific use or purpose for which the user will use the character, such as home security or conversation.
[1353] "Database means" means a system for temporarily or permanently storing and saving information entered by users.
[1354] An "expert" is someone who specializes in character design and profile creation.
[1355] A "character profile" is a profile that contains detailed attribute information of a character created by an expert.
[1356] A "security system" is a system of technical devices and software that ensures safety within a home or business.
[1357] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence technology that generates a character profile based on input data and allows that character to interact with the user.
[1358] "Means of notification" refers to a method or system for notifying users when an abnormality such as unauthorized intrusion is detected.

[1378] The final character profile approved by the user is installed on a home security system (e.g., a smart camera or security robot).
[1379] The server manages the profile distribution and installation process.
[1380] Detailed processing instructions
[1381] User input
[1382] Access the web portal.
[1383] Enter the characteristics and purpose in the form.
[1384] Processing on the server
[1385] Save the received data in the database.
[1386] Assign tasks to experts.
[1387] The generated character profile is sent to the user.
[1388] Gather user feedback and drive redesign where necessary.
[1389] Device interactions and notifications
[1390] The installed character works with the home security system.
[1391] If the AI detects an intrusion, it will notify the user through a character profile.
[1392] This makes the security system more familiar to users, providing high operability and a sense of security. Characters using generated AI notify users in real time when an unauthorized intrusion is detected, enabling them to take appropriate measures immediately.
[1393] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1394] Step 1:
[1395] User-entered character profile
[1396] Users access a dedicated web portal. They input their character's characteristics and goals. For example, they can input "friendly" or "reliable" as characteristics, and "home security" as a goal. They also input specific requests (e.g., robotic pet appearance, gentle voice). The input information is sent to the server via a web form.
[1397] Input: User's character traits, goals, and specific requests
[1398] Output: Send data to the server
[1399] Step 2:
[1400] Server stores data and assigns tasks

[1407] Input: User input information, expert design techniques
[1408] Output: Generated character profile
[1409] Step 4:
[1410] Server submits profile and collects feedback
[1411] The server sends the generated character profile to the user, who reviews the profile and provides feedback. The server receives this feedback and prompts redesign if necessary.
[1412] Input: Generated character profile, user feedback
[1413] Output: Send profile to user, collect feedback
[1414] Step 5:
[1415] Installation on security systems
[1416] The final character profile approved by the user is installed on the security system (smart camera or security robot). The server manages the profile distribution and installation process.
[1417] Input: Final character profile
[1418] Output: Installed on security system
[1419] Step 6:
[1420] Real-time monitoring and notification with generative AI
[1421] Devices (e.g., security cameras and robots) monitor the home using the installed characters, and if an intrusion is detected, the generated AI notifies the user in real time through the character profile.
[1422] Input: Character profile, real-time monitoring data
[1423] Output: User notification, anomaly report
[1424] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1425] This invention relates to a system in which users input their characteristics and goals into a generating AI, and experts use that information to generate and provide a character profile. Furthermore, it incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, allowing the generating AI to respond adaptively according to the user's emotions, thereby achieving more personalized dialogue. This emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time and adaptively changes the generating AI's responses and dialogue content.

[1526] Currently, character profile creation and user interaction using generative AI lack adaptive responses that take the user's emotions into account, making it difficult to provide an individually customized experience. Another issue is the complex process of applying generated characters to wearable devices or the metaverse, which requires a lot of effort from the user. Furthermore, systems that can collaborate with real robots to provide adaptive interaction are still underdeveloped.
[1527] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1528] In this invention, the server includes means for analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions to acquire emotional data, means for adaptively adjusting the reaction of the generation AI based on the emotional data, and means for the generation AI to engage in dialogue based on the user's emotions, thereby enabling personalized dialogue and adaptive reactions from the generation AI in accordance with the user's individual emotions.
[1529] "User" means an individual or legal entity that uses the system to create and interact with a character profile.
[1530] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence model that generates specific character profiles and engages in dialogue based on user requests.
[1531] A "character profile" is data that describes in detail a character's appearance, personality, voice quality, and other characteristics.

[1851] Example 1
[1852] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1853] Previous character profile generation systems faced challenges in accurately reflecting the user's desired character characteristics and goals. Furthermore, they lacked an interface for utilizing the generated character profile across a variety of devices, limiting user interaction. Furthermore, real-time interaction and collaboration between the user and the generating AI in the virtual space often did not proceed smoothly, which compromised the user experience.
[1854] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1855] In this invention, the server includes means for a user to input the characteristics and goals of a character to be generated, storage means for storing the user's input information, means for assigning the character design to an expert, means for sending the character profile generated by the expert to the user, means for accepting user feedback and promoting redesign, means for generating a character profile using a generative AI model, and means for activating the generative AI model based on a prompt sentence input by the user. This makes it possible to generate a character profile with characteristics and goals specified in detail by the user and to effectively implement the profile in a variety of devices and virtual spaces.
[1856] A "user" is an entity that uses the system to input a character's characteristics and goals and then uses the generative AI model based on them.
[1857] "Character characteristics and purpose" refers to the specific appearance, personality, and use of the character that a user creates through a generative AI model.
[1858] "Means of input" refers to the interface or operating means by which a user inputs the character's characteristics and goals into the system.
[1859] "Storage means" refers to a storage device for storing information entered by a user and generated character profiles.
[1860] "Assignment means" refers to the mechanism that automatically assigns design tasks to experts based on the character information entered by the user.
[1861] "Expert" refers to a professional with specific skills and knowledge to create character designs and profiles.
[1862] "Means of transmission" refers to the means of communication used to deliver the character profile generated by the expert to the user.
[1863] "Generative AI model" refers to an artificial intelligence model that generates a character profile based on user input information.
[1864] A "prompt" is an instruction that the user inputs to the generating AI, clearly stating the character's characteristics and objectives.
[1865] "Mobile device" refers to a portable electronic device such as a smartwatch or smart glasses.
[1866] "Virtual space" refers to a digital environment in which users and generative AI can interact and collaborate.
[1867] "Data stream" refers to the real-time flow of data and transmission of information within a virtual space.
[1868] This invention is a system in which users specify the characteristics and goals of a character using a generative AI model, and a character profile is generated and provided by experts. This system also has the function of implementing the generated character profile on a mobile device or in a virtual space, enabling interaction with the user.
[1869] First, users access a dedicated web portal and input their desired character's characteristics and purpose, such as a prompt such as "a brave knight with a polite personality and a deep male voice." To do so, users use their browser to enter their details into a form provided after logging in.
[1870] The server then receives the user-entered information and stores it in a database, using the Django framework to process the form data and storing it in AWS RDS. This information is then assigned to an expert before being processed using a generative AI model.
[1871] Expert designers and storytellers receive task notifications on their devices. Designers use Adobe Creative Cloud, and storytellers use Google Docs to create character profiles. Once created, they upload them to the server, which stores the uploaded files in AWS S3 and notifies the user.
[1872] Once notified, users can review the character profile and provide feedback if necessary. If a redesign is required, the server will resubmit the feedback to the experts, facilitating the revision process. This process is streamlined using Slack API integration.
[1873] The final character profile is installed on the user's mobile device. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the downloaded character profile to the device via an API. A dedicated app on the device then launches, loads the character profile, and operates.
[1874] The system also provides the ability for users and the generated AI to interact and collaborate in a virtual space. The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users can access the virtual space using their own PC or VR device and interact with the generated AI characters there. Specifically, a PC equipped with an NVIDIA GPU renders the virtual space created in Unity in real time and displays it on Oculus Rift.
[1875] Thus, the present invention aims to provide a system for characterizing generative AI and actually utilizing it, and to provide an environment in which users can interact with generative AI in a friendly manner in a variety of ways.

[1882] Step 2:
[1883] Receiving and storing information on the server
[1884] Input: The form data entered by the user in step 1.
[1885] Processing: The server receives the form data using the Django framework and stores it in AWS RDS. It validates the data format before saving it to the database.

[1891] Output: Designers and Storytellers receive task notifications.
[1892] Step 4:
[1893] Character design generation by designers and storytellers
[1894] Input: Designers and Storytellers who receive task notifications.
[1895] Process: The designer creates character designs using Adobe Creative Cloud. The storyteller creates character storylines using Google Docs. Both parties upload the completed files to the server.
[1896] Output: The completed character profile is uploaded to the server.
[1897] Step 5:
[1898] Profile verification and transmission by the server
[1899] Input: Uploaded character profile.
[1900] Processing: The server saves the uploaded file to AWS S3, sends a notification email to the user, and verifies the integrity of the saved file.
[1901] Output: A notification email to the user and a saved character profile.
[1902] Step 6:
[1903] User feedback and fixes
[1904] Input: The character profile sent to the user.
[1905] Action: The user clicks the link in the email to access the confirmation page and enters their feedback, which the server then sends back to the experts to facilitate the correction.

[1907] Step 7:
[1908] Installing the final character profile on your device
[1909] Input: Final character profile.
[1910] Processing: Users download and install their character profiles using a dedicated mobile device app. The server uses AWS Lambda to send the profiles to the devices and track and manage the installation progress.
[1911] Output: Character profile installed on the handheld device.
[1912] Step 8:
[1913] Virtual space dialogue and collaboration
[1914] Input: Final character profile and user's PC / VR device.
[1915] Processing: The server uses Unity and a virtual space platform to provide an environment where users and the generated AI can interact in real time. Users log in to the virtual space using a PC or VR device and interact with the characters.
[1916] Output: Real-time interaction and collaboration in virtual space.
[1917] Step 9:
[1918] Data stream management and storage
[1919] Input: Real-time interaction data in virtual space.
[1920] Processing: The server manages and, if necessary, stores the data streams generated within the virtual world. This processing includes checking the integrity of the data in real time and storing it for later analysis.
[1921] Output: The saved data stream.
[1922] In this way, each processing step is configured to perform data processing and calculations based on specific input data, and then pass the output to the next step.

[1924] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1925] Conventional home security systems have limited user interaction, lacking a sense of security and ease of operation. Furthermore, many systems have mechanical intrusion detection and notification mechanisms, making them unfriendly to users. This has led to problems that make it difficult for users to actively use security systems.
[1926] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[1964] Assign tasks to experts.
[1965] The generated character profile is sent to the user.
[1966] Gather user feedback and drive redesign where necessary.
[1967] Device interactions and notifications
[1968] The installed character works with the home security system.
[1969] If the AI detects an intrusion, it will notify the user through a character profile.
[1970] This makes the security system more familiar to users, providing high operability and a sense of security. Characters using generated AI notify users in real time when an unauthorized intrusion is detected, enabling them to take appropriate measures immediately.
[1971] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1972] Step 1:
[1973] User-entered character profile
[1974] Users access a dedicated web portal. They input their character's characteristics and goals. For example, they can input "friendly" or "reliable" as characteristics, and "home security" as a goal. They also input specific requests (e.g., robotic pet appearance, gentle voice). The input information is sent to the server via a web form.
[1975] Input: User's character traits, goals, and specific requests
[1976] Output: Send data to the server
[1977] Step 2:
[1978] Server stores data and assigns tasks
[1979] The server receives the input information sent by the user and stores it in a database. Then, based on that information, it assigns character profile design tasks to experts. Experts are notified via a dedicated task management system.
[1980] Input: User input information
[1981] Output: Save to database, assign tasks to experts
[1982] Step 3:
[1983] Expert character profile generation
[1984] The expert uses specialized software to generate a character profile based on the assigned task, including details such as appearance, voice quality, and personality, and then sends the profile to a server.
[1985] Input: User input information, expert design techniques
[1986] Output: Generated character profile
[1987] Step 4:
[1988] Server submits profile and collects feedback
[1989] The server sends the generated character profile to the user, who reviews the profile and provides feedback. The server receives this feedback and prompts redesign if necessary.
[1990] Input: Generated character profile, user feedback
[1991] Output: Send profile to user, collect feedback
[1992] Step 5:
[1993] Installation on security systems
[1994] The final character profile approved by the user is installed on the security system (smart camera or security robot). The server manages the profile distribution and installation process.
[1995] Input: Final character profile
[1996] Output: Installed on security system
[1997] Step 6:
[1998] Real-time monitoring and notification with generative AI
[1999] Devices (e.g., security cameras and robots) monitor the home using the installed characters, and if an intrusion is detected, the generated AI notifies the user in real time through the character profile.
[2000] Input: Character profile, real-time monitoring data
[2001] Output: User notification, anomaly report
[2002] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[2003] This invention relates to a system in which users input their characteristics and goals into a generating AI, and experts use that information to generate and provide a character profile. Furthermore, it incorporates an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions, allowing the generating AI to respond adaptively according to the user's emotions, thereby achieving more personalized dialogue. This emotion engine analyzes the user's emotions in real time and adaptively changes the generating AI's responses and dialogue content.

[2104] Currently, character profile creation and user interaction using generative AI lack adaptive responses that take the user's emotions into account, making it difficult to provide an individually customized experience. Another issue is the complex process of applying generated characters to wearable devices or the metaverse, which requires a lot of effort from the user. Furthermore, systems that can collaborate with real robots to provide adaptive interaction are still underdeveloped.
[2105] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[2106] In this invention, the server includes means for analyzing the user's voice and facial expressions to acquire emotional data, means for adaptively adjusting the reaction of the generation AI based on the emotional data, and means for the generation AI to engage in dialogue based on the user's emotions, thereby enabling personalized dialogue and adaptive reactions from the generation AI in accordance with the user's individual emotions.
[2107] "User" means an individual or legal entity that uses the system to create and interact with a character profile.
[2108] "Generative AI" is an artificial intelligence model that generates specific character profiles and engages in dialogue based on user requests.
[2109] A "character profile" is data that describes in detail a character's appearance, personality, voice quality, and other characteristics.

[2272] This enables the system to provide personalized dialogue according to the user's or customer's emotions, improving customer satisfaction.
[2273] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[2274] Step 1:
[2275] Users access a dedicated web portal and input their character's traits and goals.
[2276] What it does: A user fills out a form on a web portal, stating their preference, such as "I want a character with a friendly appearance and personality."
[2277] Input: User's desired character traits and goals
[2278] Output: JSON data containing the input information
[2279] Step 2:
[2280] The server stores the user's input information in a database.
[2281] Specific operation: The server stores the received JSON data in the database.
[2282] Input: JSON data containing user input information
[2283] Output: User information stored in the database
[2284] Step 3:
[2285] The server assigns tasks to designers and storytellers.
[2286] Specific operation: The server retrieves user information from the database and sends a task notification to the dedicated terminal.
[2287] Input: User information stored in a database
[2288] Output: Task notifications sent to the designer and storyteller's dedicated devices
[2289] Step 4:
[2290] Designers and storytellers use specialized software to generate character profiles.
[2291] What it does: Designers and storytellers use specialized software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite) to create character designs and scenarios.
[2292] Input: Task notification and user preferences
[2293] Output: Generated character profile
[2294] Step 5:
[2295] The server sends the generated character profile to the user.
[2296] Specific operation: The server reviews the generated character profile and asks for feedback via the user's email or web portal.
[2297] Input: Generated character profile
[2298] Output: Notification to user asking for feedback
[2299] Step 6:
[2300] Users provide feedback and request redesigns if necessary.
[2301] Specific operations: The user reviews the received profile and submits any corrections or additions they would like to make through the web portal.
[2302] Input: User feedback
[2303] Output: Feedback information is saved on the server
[2304] Step 7:
[2305] The server sends the feedback information back to the designer and storyteller to facilitate redesign.
[2306] What it does: The server analyzes the feedback information and reassigns the necessary correction tasks to the designers and storytellers.
[2307] Input: Saved feedback information
[2308] Output: Reassigned task notification
[2309] Step 8:
[2310] The designer and storyteller redesign the character and submit the revised character profile to the server.
[2311] What happens: The designer and storyteller will reflect the changes and regenerate the character profile.
[2312] Input: Reassignment task notification and feedback information
[2313] Output: Modified character profile
[2314] Step 9:
[2315] The server uses emotion analysis means to analyze the emotions of the customer.
[2316] Specific operation: Facial expression images acquired by smart glasses are analyzed using an emotion analysis library (e.g., DeepFace).
[2317] Input: Customer facial expression image
[2318] Output: Parsed emotion data
[2319] Step 10:
[2320] Based on the analysis results, the server uses generative AI to generate adaptive dialogue.
[2321] Specific operation: The server uses generative AI (e.g., GPT-3) to create an appropriate message based on the emotion data.
[2322] Input: Parsed emotion data
[2323] Output: Adaptive dialogue message
[2324] Step 11:
[2325] The server sends adaptive interaction messages to the wearable device for display.
[2326] Specific operation: The server sends the generated interaction message to the smart glasses and displays the message on the display.
[2327] Input: Adaptive dialogue message
[2328] Output: Message displayed on smart glasses
[2329] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[2330] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. 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.
[2331] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[2332] 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.
[2333] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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 actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect 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.
[2334] 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.
[2335] 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).
[2336] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[2337] 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."
[2338] 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.
[2339] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[2340] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[2341] 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.
[2342] 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.
[2343] 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.
[2344] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor 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. Another example of a processor is 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.
[2345] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing 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 processing may be a single processor.
[2346] 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.
[2347] 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.

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.
