Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses biometric recognition technology to create a database of students' learning concentration, interests, and physical activity levels, and reflects this information in improving their weak areas of study and their personal lives. This allows the learning support system to comprehensively support not only the improvement of students' academic ability, but also their physical strength and mental health.

[0029] A learning support system according to an embodiment includes a concentration measurement unit, a weak point identification unit, and a lifestyle habit improvement unit. The concentration measurement unit uses biometric recognition technology to measure a student's concentration during class. For example, it analyzes heart rate, facial expression, and eye movement to evaluate the student's level of concentration in class. The concentration measurement unit uses a heart rate sensor to measure heart rate in real time and evaluate the concentration level. The concentration measurement unit can also analyze a student's facial expression using facial expression recognition technology to evaluate the concentration level. The concentration measurement unit can also analyze eye movement using an eye tracking device to evaluate the concentration level. The weak point identification unit uses a generation AI to analyze students' learning data and identify each student's weak point. For example, the generation AI determines which subjects or items a student is weak at based on test results, homework grades, and comments made during class. The weak point identification unit analyzes past test results and identifies items with low grades. The generation AI can also analyze homework grades to identify items with low understanding. The generation AI can also analyze comments made during class and identify weak subjects or subjects. The lifestyle improvement unit uses the generation AI to create a database of students' exercise and dietary intake, supporting lifestyle improvement. For example, the lifestyle improvement unit measures exercise volume using a wearable device, and the generation AI suggests healthy lifestyle habits. The lifestyle improvement unit can also input food records, and the generation AI can suggest nutritionally balanced meal plans. The lifestyle improvement unit can also integrate exercise volume and dietary data, and the generation AI can suggest comprehensive lifestyle improvement plans. This allows the learning support system according to the embodiment to comprehensively improve students' learning environments, improve academic performance, maintain health, and provide psychological support. For example, the concentration measurement unit visualizes students' concentration levels during class in real time, allowing teachers to instantly adjust lesson content. The weak subject identification unit provides individually optimized learning plans to help students overcome their weak subjects. The lifestyle improvement unit suggests healthy lifestyle habits based on exercise volume and dietary data, improving students' physical strength and maintaining their health.

[0030] The concentration measurement unit can analyze heart rate, facial expressions, and eye movements to evaluate how focused students are in class. For example, the concentration measurement unit can monitor students' heart rate and eye movements in real time and build a system that visualizes their concentration level based on that data. For example, it can send an alert to teachers if their concentration level drops. The concentration measurement unit can also use facial expression recognition technology to evaluate students' concentration levels in real time during class, allowing teachers to instantly adjust the content of their lessons. For example, it can ask individual questions to students who are not concentrating well. The concentration measurement unit can also graph students' concentration levels in real time based on biometric recognition data, allowing teachers to refer to the data during class. For example, it can visually display changes in concentration levels. This allows for detailed evaluation of students' concentration levels and helps improve lesson content.

[0031] The weak item identification unit can determine which subjects or items a student is weak at based on test results, homework grades, and comments made during class. The weak item identification unit, for example, considers a student's past learning history and learning style to build a system to identify weak items. For example, it analyzes past test results and homework grades. The weak item identification unit also considers a student's learning style when analyzing learning data to identify weak items. For example, it reflects the differences between visual learners and auditory learners. The weak item identification unit also develops a system that accurately identifies a student's weak items based on past learning history. For example, it analyzes past grade data to identify weak subjects and items. This makes it possible to identify a student's weak items in detail and provide an individually optimized learning plan.

[0032] The Lifestyle Improvement Department uses wearable devices to measure exercise volume and input food records, allowing the AI ​​to suggest healthy lifestyle habits. For example, the Lifestyle Improvement Department will build a system in which the AI ​​analyzes students' exercise volume and dietary data and automatically generates the optimal exercise program for each student. For example, it will propose a plan to increase exercise volume for students who are not getting enough exercise. The Lifestyle Improvement Department will also analyze food intake and automatically generate the optimal meal plan for each student. For example, it will propose a balanced meal plan for students with an unbalanced nutritional intake. The Lifestyle Improvement Department will also develop a system in which the AI ​​integrates exercise volume and dietary data and automatically generates the optimal lifestyle improvement plan for each student. For example, it will provide a plan to improve both exercise and diet. This will allow for a detailed understanding of students' exercise volume and food intake and suggest healthy lifestyle habits.

[0033] The lifestyle habit improvement department can analyze heart rate, facial expression, and sweat rate to evaluate stress levels. The lifestyle habit improvement department, for example, uses biometric recognition technology to build a system that simultaneously measures not only students' concentration levels but also their fatigue and stress levels. For example, it analyzes heart rate and sweat rate to evaluate fatigue levels. The lifestyle habit improvement department also develops a system that comprehensively measures students' concentration, fatigue, and stress levels and manages their health. For example, it suggests taking a break if fatigue levels are high. The lifestyle habit improvement department also simultaneously measures students' concentration, fatigue, and stress levels based on biometric recognition data and manages their health comprehensively. For example, it suggests relaxation activities if stress levels are high. This makes it possible to evaluate students' stress levels in detail and strengthen school counseling as needed.

[0034] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0035] The learning support system can further include a speech recognition unit. The speech recognition unit can analyze the content of students' comments in real time and evaluate the student's level of understanding and interest based on the frequency and content of their comments. For example, it can suggest individual follow-ups for students who do not speak much during class. The speech recognition unit can also analyze the content of students' comments and evaluate their interest in a specific topic. For example, it can provide additional learning materials related to a student who speaks frequently on a specific topic. The speech recognition unit can also identify items with low levels of understanding based on the content of students' comments and provide individually optimized learning plans. This makes it possible to analyze the content of students' comments in detail and strengthen learning support.

[0036] The learning support system may further include a social interaction section. The social interaction section may promote communication between students and increase their motivation to learn. For example, it may provide opportunities for group discussions, creating a space for students to exchange opinions. The social interaction section may also provide a platform where students can post questions and opinions through an online forum. For example, it may promote discussions on specific topics. The social interaction section may also suggest projects to promote cooperation between students. For example, it may provide a project to solve a problem together. This may strengthen communication between students and increase their motivation to learn.

[0037] The learning support system can further include a virtual reality (VR) section. The VR section allows students to have learning experiences in a virtual space. For example, in a history class, students can visit historical places in a virtual space. The VR section also allows science classes to conduct experiments in a virtual space. For example, dangerous chemical experiments can be safely experienced. The VR section can also provide language learning simulations, such as conversations with native speakers in a virtual space. For example, students can practice practical conversations in a foreign language. This allows students to deepen their learning through real-life experiences.

[0038] The learning support system can further include a gamification section. The gamification section can increase students' motivation to learn by turning learning into a game. For example, it can provide a system where students can earn points by completing learning tasks and compete for rankings. The gamification section can also award badges and titles according to learning progress. For example, a special badge can be awarded to students who complete a specific task. The gamification section can also visualize learning progress, allowing students to get a sense of their own growth. For example, learning progress can be displayed in a graph. This can increase students' motivation to learn and make learning more enjoyable.

[0039] The learning support system can further include a feedback unit. The feedback unit can provide immediate feedback on students' learning achievements. For example, it can display test results in real time and provide explanations for questions that the student got wrong. The feedback unit can also provide individual advice according to the student's learning progress. For example, if a student's understanding of a particular topic is low, it can provide additional learning materials. The feedback unit can also visualize students' learning achievements and encourage self-assessment. For example, it can display learning progress in a graph so that students can see their own growth. This can increase students' motivation to learn and support effective learning.

[0040] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0041] Step 1: The concentration measurement unit uses biometric recognition technology to measure students' concentration levels during class. For example, a heart rate sensor can be used to measure heart rate in real time to assess concentration levels. It can also use facial expression recognition technology to analyze students' facial expressions to assess concentration levels. Furthermore, an eye-tracking device can be used to analyze eye movements to assess concentration levels. Step 2: The weak item identification unit uses the generation AI to analyze the students' learning data and identify each student's weak items. For example, the generation AI determines which subjects or items a student is weak at based on test results, homework grades, and comments made during class. The generation AI analyzes past test results to identify items with low grades. It can also analyze homework grades to identify items with low levels of understanding. It can also analyze comments made during class to identify weak subjects or items. Step 3: The Lifestyle Improvement Department uses the generation AI to create a database of students' exercise and dietary intake, and supports them in improving their lifestyle habits. For example, a wearable device can be used to measure exercise volume, and the generation AI can then suggest healthy lifestyle habits. Food records can also be entered, and the generation AI can then suggest nutritionally balanced meal plans. Furthermore, the generation AI can integrate exercise volume and dietary data to propose a comprehensive lifestyle improvement plan.

The gamification section can also visualize learning progress, allowing students to get a sense of their own growth. For example, learning progress can be displayed in a graph. This can increase students' motivation to learn and make learning more enjoyable.

[0056] The learning support system can further use an emotion estimation function to evaluate a student's interests. For example, the determination unit can analyze a student's facial expressions and eye movements to estimate their interest in a specific topic. For example, the determination unit can provide additional learning materials for topics that interest the student. The determination unit can also adjust the learning plan based on the student's interests. For example, the determination unit can provide assignments related to the topics that interest the student. The determination unit can also adjust the learning environment based on the student's interests. For example, the determination unit can promote discussions related to the topics that interest the student. This allows for a detailed evaluation of the student's interests and strengthens learning support.

[0057] The learning support system can further include a feedback unit. The feedback unit can provide immediate feedback on students' learning achievements. For example, it can display test results in real time and provide explanations for questions that the student got wrong. The feedback unit can also provide individual advice according to the student's learning progress. For example, if a student's understanding of a particular topic is low, it can provide additional learning materials. The feedback unit can also visualize students' learning achievements and encourage self-assessment. For example, it can display learning progress in a graph so that students can see their own growth. This can increase students' motivation to learn and support effective learning.

[0058] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0059] Step 1: The concentration measurement unit uses biometric recognition technology to measure students' concentration levels during class. For example, a heart rate sensor can be used to measure heart rate in real time to assess concentration levels. It can also use facial expression recognition technology to analyze students' facial expressions to assess concentration levels. Furthermore, an eye-tracking device can be used to analyze eye movements to assess concentration levels. Step 2: The weak item identification unit uses the generation AI to analyze the students' learning data and identify each student's weak items. For example, the generation AI determines which subjects or items a student is weak at based on test results, homework grades, and comments made during class. The generation AI analyzes past test results to identify items with low grades. It can also analyze homework grades to identify items with low levels of understanding. It can also analyze comments made during class to identify weak subjects or items. Step 3: The Lifestyle Improvement Department uses the generation AI to create a database of students' exercise and dietary intake, and supports them in improving their lifestyle habits. For example, a wearable device can be used to measure exercise volume, and the generation AI can then suggest healthy lifestyle habits. Food records can also be entered, and the generation AI can then suggest nutritionally balanced meal plans. Furthermore, the generation AI can integrate exercise volume and dietary data to propose a comprehensive lifestyle improvement plan.

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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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).

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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."

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.
