[0028] (Example 1) The accounting processing assistance generation AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that allows easy access to internal accounting information assets. This system uses SmartAI-Chat to provide information about internal accounting processing to those who need it at the right time. As a result, the accounting processing assistance generation AI system can improve employee productivity and significantly reduce man-hours.
[0029] The accounting process help generation AI system according to the embodiment includes an information acquisition unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The information acquisition unit accesses accounting information assets. For example, the information acquisition unit connects to an internal accounting database to acquire necessary information. The information acquisition unit can also acquire data from external accounting software via an API. The information acquisition unit can also access accounting data stored in cloud storage. For example, the information acquisition unit sends a query to an internal accounting database to acquire necessary data. When acquiring data from external accounting software via an API, the information acquisition unit authenticates using an API key and acquires the necessary data. When accessing accounting data stored in cloud storage, the information acquisition unit acquires the data using the cloud storage's API. The analysis unit analyzes the information acquired by the information acquisition unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes a user request using natural language processing technology to identify the necessary information. The analysis unit can also predict optimal information based on the user's past search history. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's emotional state using an emotion estimation function. For example, the analysis unit analyzes a user's request using natural language processing technology to identify the required information. When predicting optimal information based on the user's past search history, the analysis unit analyzes past search queries and identifies frequently searched information. When analyzing a user's emotional state using an emotion estimation function, the analysis unit analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice and calculates an emotion score. The provision unit provides the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the provision unit displays required information on a dashboard in response to a user's request. The provision unit can also send a reminder to notify the user of the required information. The provision unit can also provide information through a mobile device or a wearable device. For example, the provision unit displays required information on a dashboard in response to a user's request. When sending a reminder to notify the user of the required information, the provision unit analyzes the user's schedule and sends the reminder at an appropriate time. When providing information through a mobile device or a wearable device, the provision unit sends a notification to a smartphone or a smartwatch.As a result, the accounting processing assistance generation AI system according to the embodiment enables quick access to accounting information assets and the provision of information. For example, employees can quickly obtain accounting data, improving work efficiency. It also significantly reduces the time that accounting staff spends manually searching and organizing data. Furthermore, employees in other departments can easily obtain the accounting information they need, allowing work to proceed smoothly.
[0030] The analysis unit can predict the most appropriate information based on the user's past search history and provide it via the provision unit. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past search history and prioritize providing frequently accessed information. For example, expense reports and monthly financial statement data that have been searched for many times in the past can be instantly displayed. The analysis unit also predicts related information based on the user's search history and caches the necessary data in advance. For example, it prepares the data needed for month-end closing processing in advance. The analysis unit also uses the search history to learn patterns of information the user has accessed in the past and suggests the most appropriate information for the next search. For example, it can prioritize displaying accounting data related to a specific project. This makes it possible to provide the most appropriate information based on the user's past search history.
[0031] The analysis unit can respond to complex queries using natural language processing and provide detailed information. For example, the generation AI in the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze complex user queries and provide appropriate accounting information. For example, it responds to queries such as, "Please tell me how last year's sales and expenses compare." The analysis unit also uses natural language processing to understand the intent of the user's question and integrate and provide relevant information. For example, it responds to requests such as, "Please compare this month's expense report with last month's report." In addition, the generation AI in the analysis unit automatically extracts relevant data for complex queries and generates detailed reports. For example, it responds to requests such as, "Please summarize all expense data related to a specific project." This makes it possible to respond to complex queries using natural language processing.
[0032] The information acquisition unit can access accounting information assets using at least one interface of voice input or gesture input. The information acquisition unit, for example, uses voice input to enable a user to easily search for accounting information. For example, by simply issuing a voice command such as "Show me this month's expense report," the generation AI displays the relevant data. The information acquisition unit also uses gesture input to enable a user to intuitively access accounting information. For example, by performing a specific gesture, the generation AI displays related data. The information acquisition unit also integrates various interfaces to enable a user to access accounting information in the most user-friendly way. For example, by combining voice input and gesture input, more intuitive operation is achieved. This allows access to accounting information assets using various interfaces.
[0033] The information acquisition unit can also link with information assets from different departments, integrating accounting information with information from other departments and providing it in an integrated manner. For example, the information acquisition unit can integrate accounting information with information from other departments, building a system in which the generation AI can provide it in a unified manner. For example, accounting data can be integrated with sales data, allowing the relationship between sales and expenses to be understood at a glance. The information acquisition unit can also link information assets from different departments, allowing the generation AI to automatically extract and provide the necessary information. For example, it can integrate project management data with accounting data to perform a detailed analysis of expenses for each project. The information acquisition unit can also strengthen collaboration between departments by providing accounting information and information from other departments in an integrated manner. For example, it can integrate data from the marketing and accounting departments to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a campaign. This allows accounting information and information from other departments to be provided in an integrated manner.
[0034] The provision unit can analyze the user's schedule and automatically send reminders at the necessary times. For example, the generation AI in the provision unit analyzes the user's schedule and automatically sends reminders for important accounting tasks. For example, it sets reminders for month-end closing processing and quarterly settlement. The provision unit also links with the user's calendar so that the generation AI reminds them to provide accounting data when necessary. For example, it notifies them of the documents they need the day before an accounting audit. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to learn the user's schedule and send reminders at the optimal times. For example, it sends reminders that avoid times when the user is busy. This allows reminders to be sent based on the user's schedule.
[0035] The provision unit can analyze past data and predict the optimal timing to provide information. For example, the generation AI in the provision unit analyzes past data and predicts the timing when the user will need information most, and provides the information. For example, the generation AI may notify the user in advance of the data required for closing the month-end. The provision unit also has the generation AI learn the user's work patterns based on past data and provide information at the optimal timing. For example, the generation AI may automatically send the necessary documents the day before an accounting audit. The provision unit also has the generation AI analyze past data and predict the timing when the user can most efficiently use information. For example, the generation AI may notify the user of important accounting data during times when the user is relaxing. This allows information to be provided at the optimal timing based on past data.
[0036] The providing unit can provide information at the required timing through a mobile device or a wearable device. For example, the generating AI in the providing unit provides the necessary accounting information to the user through a mobile device. For example, the providing unit sends a notification of accounting data to a smartphone. The generating AI also uses a wearable device to provide the necessary information to the user. For example, the providing unit displays a reminder of accounting data on a smartwatch. The providing unit also links the mobile device and the wearable device, allowing the generating AI to provide information at the optimal timing. For example, the providing unit sends notifications to a smartphone and a smartwatch simultaneously. This allows information to be provided through a mobile device or a wearable device.
[0037] The provision unit can work in conjunction with other business applications to provide the necessary information in a centralized manner. For example, the generation AI in the provision unit works in conjunction with other business applications to provide the necessary accounting information in a centralized manner. For example, it works in conjunction with a project management tool to provide expense data for each project. The provision unit also works in conjunction with other business applications, allowing the generation AI to automatically extract and provide the necessary information. For example, it works in conjunction with a CRM system to provide expense data for each customer. The provision unit also integrates business applications, building a system in which the generation AI provides information in a centralized manner. For example, it works in conjunction with an ERP system to provide company-wide accounting data. This allows the generation AI to work in conjunction with other business applications to provide information in a centralized manner.
[0038] The analysis unit analyzes existing accounting databases and can automatically correct duplicate data and inconsistencies. For example, the generation AI analyzes existing accounting databases and automatically detects and corrects duplicate data. For example, if the same expense item is registered multiple times, the duplicate data is merged. The analysis unit also builds a system in which the generation AI automatically corrects inconsistencies within the database. For example, it unifies data entered in different formats. The analysis unit also allows the generation AI to periodically analyze the database and maintain data quality. For example, it automatically deletes and corrects old or inaccurate data. This makes it possible to automatically correct duplicate data and inconsistencies in existing accounting databases.
[0039] The analysis unit automatically generates metadata for existing information assets, improving the searchability of information. For example, the generation AI in the analysis unit analyzes an existing accounting database and automatically generates metadata for each data item. For example, the project name and person in charge name related to an expense report are added as metadata. The analysis unit also builds a system in which the generation AI automatically generates metadata and improves the searchability of information. For example, keywords and tags related to accounting data are automatically added. The analysis unit also continuously improves the searchability of information by having the generation AI periodically analyze the database and add new metadata. For example, when a new project is added, metadata is automatically added to the related accounting data. This allows metadata to be automatically generated for existing information assets, improving the searchability of information.
[0040] The information acquisition unit can link existing information assets with cloud storage to enable remote access. For example, the information acquisition unit can link an existing accounting database with cloud storage to enable users to access it remotely. For example, accounting data can be stored on the cloud and accessed from anywhere. The information acquisition unit can also use cloud storage to build a system that automatically acquires and provides the accounting information required by the generation AI. For example, it can synchronize data on the cloud in real time to provide the latest information. The information acquisition unit can also enable remote access, allowing users to access accounting information from anywhere. For example, it can allow users to check accounting data while on a business trip or working from home. This allows existing information assets to be linked with cloud storage to enable remote access.
[0041] The information acquisition unit can also link with other companies' information assets to provide benchmark data for the entire industry. For example, the information acquisition unit can link with other companies' accounting data to build a system in which the generation AI provides benchmark data for the entire industry. For example, the information acquisition unit can compare and analyze a company's expenses based on the expense data of competitors. The information acquisition unit also automatically collects and analyzes benchmark data for the entire industry using the generation AI and provides it to users. For example, it can display industry average sales and expense ratios. The information acquisition unit also links with other companies' information assets, allowing the generation AI to provide industry-wide trends and best practices. For example, it can make suggestions for improving a company's accounting operations based on success stories from competitors. This allows the information acquisition unit to link with other companies' information assets and provide benchmark data for the entire industry.
[0042] The analysis unit learns employees' work patterns and can propose optimal work flows. For example, the analysis unit constructs a system in which a generation AI learns employees' work patterns and proposes optimal work flows. For example, it proposes efficient procedures for entering and organizing accounting data. The analysis unit also analyzes work patterns and the generation AI automatically optimizes work flows. For example, it sets priorities for accounting work and proposes an efficient work order. The analysis unit also uses a generation AI to learn employees' work patterns, identify bottlenecks in work, and propose improvements. For example, it proposes automation tools to prevent delays in data entry. This makes it possible to learn employees' work patterns and propose optimal work flows.
[0043] The analysis unit can analyze employee tasks and automatically set priorities. For example, the analysis unit constructs a system in which a generation AI analyzes employee tasks and automatically sets priorities. For example, it suggests that important accounting tasks be given priority. The analysis unit also improves employee productivity by setting task priorities. For example, it can process highly urgent tasks first, ensuring efficient work progress. The analysis unit also enables a generation AI to analyze employee workloads and set optimal task priorities. For example, it suggests that important tasks be given priority during peak work hours. This makes it possible to analyze employee tasks and automatically set priorities.
[0044] The provision department can link with other business tools to perform integrated business management. For example, the provision department builds a system in which the generation AI links with other business tools to perform integrated business management. For example, it links with a project management tool to centrally manage task progress. The provision department also links with other business tools, allowing the generation AI to automatically extract and provide the information it needs. For example, it links with a CRM system to provide expense data for each customer. The provision department also integrates business tools to build a system in which the generation AI provides information centrally. For example, it links with an ERP system to provide company-wide accounting data. This allows it to link with other business tools to perform integrated business management.
[0045] The provision unit can visualize employee productivity data in real time, allowing managers to provide appropriate guidance. For example, the provision unit builds a system in which the generation AI visualizes employee productivity data in real time. For example, it displays each employee's work progress and task completion status in a graph. The provision unit also visualizes the productivity data in real time, allowing managers to provide appropriate guidance. For example, it issues an alert if a work delay occurs. The provision unit also uses the generation AI to analyze employee productivity data and provide managers with specific guidance points. For example, it identifies bottlenecks in specific tasks and makes improvement suggestions. This makes it possible to visualize employee productivity data in real time, allowing managers to provide appropriate guidance.
[0046] The analysis unit can work with RPA to further automate accounting tasks. For example, the analysis unit's generation AI works with RPA to build a system that automates accounting tasks. For example, it automates expense settlement and invoice processing. The analysis unit also uses RPA to have the generation AI automate the input and organization of accounting data. For example, it automatically inputs expense data and stores it in a database. The analysis unit also works with the generation AI and RPA to continuously automate accounting tasks. For example, when a new accounting task arises, it adds an automation process. This allows the analysis unit to work with RPA to further automate accounting tasks.
[0047] The analysis unit can verify data in real time to prevent input errors in accounting data. For example, the analysis unit builds a system in which the generation AI verifies input errors in accounting data in real time. For example, it checks whether the input data is in the correct format. The analysis unit also verifies data in real time to prevent input errors. For example, it issues an alert if an abnormal value or inconsistency is detected. The analysis unit also builds a system in which the generation AI automatically corrects input errors in accounting data. For example, it suggests correct data if incorrect data is entered. This makes it possible to verify data in real time to prevent input errors in accounting data.
[0048] The analysis department can automate tasks in other departments as well, improving company-wide efficiency. For example, the analysis department builds a system in which the generative AI automates tasks in other departments, improving company-wide efficiency. For example, it automates data entry in the sales department and report creation in the marketing department. The analysis department also automates tasks in other departments, reducing labor costs across the company. For example, it automates tasks in project management and human resources management. The analysis department also builds processes in which the generative AI can advance company-wide automation of tasks. For example, it analyzes the work flow of each department and identifies points for automation. This allows tasks in other departments to be automated as well, improving company-wide efficiency.
[0049] The provision department can monitor the progress of accounting work in real time and automatically issue an alert if a delay occurs. For example, the provision department builds a system in which the generation AI monitors the progress of accounting work in real time and automatically issues an alert if a delay occurs. For example, it monitors the progress of monthly closings and notifies the system when a delay occurs. The provision department also monitors the progress of accounting work in real time and issues an alert if a delay occurs. For example, it notifies the system when an important accounting task is not completed by the deadline. The provision department also builds a system in which the generation AI analyzes the progress of accounting work and issues a preventative alert before a delay occurs. For example, it identifies bottlenecks in the work and proposes countermeasures in advance. This makes it possible to monitor the progress of accounting work in real time and automatically issue an alert if a delay occurs.

[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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).
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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."
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
[0164] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
