[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (for example, a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see FIG. 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] Output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to a user by outputting the data in a form of expression that the user can perceive (e.g., audio and / or text).

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides learners with an interactive and practical learning experience using AR technology via smartphones, allowing learners to understand the learning content more concretely and intuitively.
[0029] A learning support system according to an embodiment includes a multiplication learning unit using AR technology, a display unit displaying the multiplication learning content, a chemical reaction experiment unit using AR technology, a display unit displaying the chemical reaction experiment content, a vocational training unit using AR technology, and a display unit displaying the vocational training content. For example, when a smartphone is held over the multiplication learning unit, four digital marbles appear as a 2 x 2 calculation result, and nine digital marbles appear as a 3 x 3 calculation result. For example, when a smartphone is held over the multiplication learning unit, 16 digital marbles appear as a 4 x 4 calculation result. For example, when a smartphone is held over the chemical reaction experiment unit, test tubes and beakers appear in front of the user, and a neutralization reaction experiment begins. As the reaction progresses, the color of the liquid changes and the gas produced is displayed in real time. For example, when a combustion reaction experiment is conducted, the chemical reaction experiment unit can display the color of the flame and the smoke produced in real time as the reaction progresses. For example, when a student holds up a smartphone, the vocational training department can display the internal structure of a distribution board and clearly indicate which breaker to operate. The vocational training department can also display, for example, plumbing work procedures and clearly indicate which pipes to connect. This allows the learning support system to help students understand the learning content more concretely and intuitively.
[0030] When you hold your smartphone over the multiplication learning section, four digital marbles will appear as the result of calculating 2 x 2, and nine digital marbles will appear as the result of calculating 3 x 3. For example, when you hold your smartphone over the multiplication learning section, four digital marbles will appear as the result of calculating 2 x 2. For example, when you hold your smartphone over the multiplication learning section, nine digital marbles will appear as the result of calculating 3 x 3. For example, when you hold your smartphone over the multiplication learning section, 16 digital marbles will appear as the result of calculating 4 x 4. This allows you to visually understand the multiplication of large numbers.
[0031] In the chemical reaction experiment section, when you hold your smartphone over the device, test tubes and beakers appear in your hand, and a neutralization reaction experiment begins. As the reaction progresses, the color of the liquid changes and the gas produced is displayed in real time. In the chemical reaction experiment section, for example, when you hold your smartphone over the device, test tubes and beakers appear in your hand, and a neutralization reaction experiment begins. As the reaction progresses, the color of the liquid changes and the gas produced is displayed in real time. In addition, in the chemical reaction experiment section, for example, a combustion reaction experiment can be performed, and the color of the flame and the smoke produced can be displayed in real time as the reaction progresses. In addition, in the chemical reaction experiment section, for example, an oxidation-reduction reaction experiment can be performed, and the color of the metal changes and the gas produced can be displayed in real time as the reaction progresses. This allows children to visually learn about the progress of chemical reactions.
[0032] When the vocational training department holds up a smartphone, the internal structure of the distribution board is displayed and it is clear which breaker should be operated. When the vocational training department holds up a smartphone, for example, the internal structure of the distribution board is displayed and it is clear which breaker should be operated. The vocational training department can also display, for example, plumbing work procedures and clearly show which pipes should be connected. The vocational training department can also display, for example, electrical work procedures and clearly show which cables should be connected. This allows the work procedures to be learned safely.
[0033] The learning support system includes a progress tracking unit that tracks a learner's progress in real time and automatically generates an individually optimized learning plan. The progress tracking unit, for example, builds a system that tracks a learner's progress in real time as they study on their smartphone. For example, it records study time and correct answer rate and automatically generates an individual learning plan based on that. The progress tracking unit also, for example, analyzes a learner's progress data and develops an algorithm that identifies areas of weakness and strength. For example, if the correct answer rate for a particular problem is low, it proposes a plan to focus on that area. The progress tracking unit also builds a system that tracks progress in real time and dynamically adjusts the learning plan to match the learner's pace. For example, if the learner is tired, it presents more easy questions. This makes it possible to provide an optimal learning plan based on the learner's progress.
[0034] The learning support system includes a history analysis unit that analyzes a learner's past learning history, identifies weak areas, and provides focused support. The history analysis unit, for example, develops a system that stores a learner's past learning history in a database and analyzes that data to identify weak areas. For example, it extracts weak areas based on past test results and study time. Furthermore, the history analysis unit, for example, adds a function that automatically provides learning content specialized for a weak area after identifying the weak area. For example, it recommends videos or problem sets related to a specific area. Furthermore, the history analysis unit, for example, builds a system that generates an individual learning plan to overcome weak areas based on the learning history. For example, it presents many questions related to weak areas to improve comprehension. This makes it possible to identify a learner's weak areas and provide focused support.
[0035] The learning support system includes a voice assistant unit, which works in conjunction with the learning support service and can respond to instructions and questions using the voice assistant. The voice assistant unit, for example, integrates a voice assistant function into the learning support service to build a system that responds to voice instructions and questions. For example, when a learner asks a question by voice, the voice assistant responds. The voice assistant unit also adds, for example, a function that uses the voice assistant to notify the learner of their progress and learning plan by voice. For example, it notifies the learner by voice when the learning time is up. The voice assistant unit also develops, for example, a system that allows the learner to operate learning content by giving voice instructions. For example, when a voice instruction to proceed to the next question is given, the next question is displayed. This makes it possible to respond to voice instructions and questions.
[0036] The learning support system includes a chat unit, which can introduce a chat function that allows learners to communicate with each other in real time, thereby promoting collaborative learning. The chat unit, for example, adds a chat function to a learning support service and builds a system that allows learners to communicate with each other in real time. For example, learners can ask questions and exchange opinions while learning. The chat unit also uses the chat function to promote group learning in which learners work together to solve problems. For example, a group chat can be created for a specific issue and the learners can work together to solve the problem. The chat unit also adds stamps and emoticons to the chat function to support communication between learners. For example, stamps can be used when reporting learning progress. This can promote collaborative learning between learners.
[0037] The learning support system includes an animation display unit, which uses AR technology to display dynamic animations during multiplication learning, allowing a learner to visually understand the calculation process. The animation display unit is configured to build a system that displays dynamic animations using AR technology during multiplication learning, for example. For example, the 2 x 3 calculation process is displayed in animation to allow a learner to visually understand. The animation display unit also adds a function that displays the multiplication calculation process in animation when a learner holds a smartphone over the system. For example, the 2 x 3 calculation process is displayed step by step. The animation display unit is also configured to develop a system that uses dynamic animations to allow a learner to visually understand the multiplication calculation process. For example, the calculation process is expressed using colors and shapes to allow a learner to intuitively understand. This allows a learner to visually understand the multiplication calculation process.
[0038] The learning support system includes a problem creation unit that allows learners to create their own problems and check the answers to those problems using AR. The problem creation unit, for example, builds a system that allows learners to create their own multiplication problems and check the answers to those problems using AR. For example, a learner creates a 2 x 3 problem and holds up a smartphone to display the answer. The problem creation unit also adds, for example, a function to display the answers to problems created by learners using AR. For example, answers to problems created by learners are displayed as animations. The problem creation unit also develops, for example, a system that allows learners to create their own problems and check the answers to those problems using AR. For example, answers to problems created by learners are displayed in colors and shapes. This allows learners to check the answers to problems they created using AR.
[0039] The learning support system includes a mathematics application unit, which applies AR technology to mathematics fields other than multiplication to provide visually easy-to-understand learning content. The mathematics application unit applies AR technology to mathematics fields other than multiplication, for example, to build a system that provides visually easy-to-understand learning content. For example, in learning fractions, the concept of fractions is visually displayed using AR. The mathematics application unit also adds a function that uses AR technology to provide visually easy-to-understand learning content in mathematics fields such as fractions and shapes. For example, the area and perimeter of a shape are displayed using AR. The mathematics application unit also applies AR technology to mathematics fields other than multiplication to develop a system that provides visually easy-to-understand learning content. For example, the fraction calculation process is displayed using AR. This allows AR technology to be applied to mathematics fields other than multiplication to provide visually easy-to-understand learning content.
[0040] The learning support system includes a shared evaluation unit, which allows a learner to share calculation results created using AR with other learners and mutually evaluate them. The shared evaluation unit, for example, builds a system in which a learner shares calculation results created using AR with other learners and allows them to mutually evaluate each other. For example, calculation results created by a learner are shared online and evaluated by other learners. The shared evaluation unit also adds a function in which calculation results created using AR are shared with other learners and mutually evaluated. For example, other learners comment on and evaluate calculation results created by a learner. The shared evaluation unit also develops a system in which a learner shares calculation results created using AR with other learners and allows them to mutually evaluate each other. For example, calculation results created by a learner are shared on social media and evaluated. This allows calculation results created by a learner to be shared with other learners and mutually evaluated.
[0041] The learning support system includes a molecular display unit, which can visually display the reaction process at the molecular level using AR technology in chemical reaction experiments. The molecular display unit is constructed to visually display the reaction process at the molecular level in chemical reaction experiments, for example. For example, the reaction of an acid and a base is displayed at the molecular level, allowing the progress of the reaction to be visually understood. The molecular display unit also adds a function that displays the chemical reaction process at the molecular level when a learner holds their smartphone over the device. For example, the process of the reaction of an acid and a base is displayed in an animation. The molecular display unit is also developed to deepen understanding of chemical reactions by visually displaying the reaction process at the molecular level. For example, the molecular structures of reactants and products are displayed using AR. This makes it possible to visually display the reaction process of a chemical reaction at the molecular level.
[0042] The learning support system includes an experimental condition setting unit, which allows learners to set their own experimental conditions and check the reaction results based on those conditions using AR. The experimental condition setting unit, for example, builds a system that allows learners to set their own experimental conditions and check the reaction results based on those conditions using AR. For example, it sets the temperature and concentration and displays the reaction results under those conditions. The experimental condition setting unit also adds a function that, after setting the experimental conditions, displays the reaction results based on those conditions using AR. For example, it displays an animation of the reaction process at the set temperature and concentration. The experimental condition setting unit also develops a system that allows learners to set their own experimental conditions and check the reaction results based on those conditions using AR. For example, it visually displays the changes in reactants and products under the set conditions. This allows learners to check the reaction results based on the experimental conditions they set using AR.
[0043] The learning support system includes a science application unit, which applies AR technology to scientific fields other than chemical reactions to provide visually easy-to-understand learning content. The science application unit applies AR technology to scientific fields other than chemical reactions, for example, to build a system that provides visually easy-to-understand learning content. For example, in the study of physical phenomena, force vectors are displayed using AR. The science application unit also adds a function to provide visually easy-to-understand learning content using AR technology in scientific fields such as physical phenomena and biological processes. For example, the process of cell division is displayed using AR. The science application unit also applies AR technology to scientific fields other than chemical reactions to develop a system that provides visually easy-to-understand learning content.

For example, trainees share work results created on social media and receive evaluations. This allows trainees to share work results created by trainees with other trainees and mutually evaluate them.
[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0050] The learning support system further includes a voice recognition unit that can analyze the learner's speech and respond to voice instructions and questions. For example, when a learner asks a multiplication problem by voice, the voice recognition unit analyzes the problem and displays the appropriate answer. Furthermore, when a learner asks a question by voice about the procedure for a chemical reaction experiment, the voice recognition unit can explain the procedure by voice. Furthermore, when a learner asks a question by voice about an operation procedure in vocational training, for example, the voice recognition unit can guide the procedure by voice. This allows the learner to respond to voice instructions and questions, making the learning experience more interactive.
[0051] The learning support system further includes a feedback unit, which can provide instant feedback to the learner's answers. For example, if the learner answers a multiplication problem correctly, the feedback unit displays "That's correct!", and if the learner answers incorrectly, it displays "Please think about it again." In addition, for example, in a chemical reaction experiment, the feedback unit can display "That's the correct procedure" if the experiment was performed using the correct procedure, and display "Please review the procedure" if the procedure was incorrect. In addition, for example, in vocational training, the feedback unit can display "That's the correct procedure" if the operation was performed correctly, and display "Please review the operation" if the operation was incorrect. This allows the learner to receive instant feedback, improving learning effectiveness.
[0052] The learning support system further includes a virtual assistant unit that can monitor the learner's progress and provide advice and support at the appropriate time. For example, in vocational training, if a learner is taking a long time to perform a particular operation, the virtual assistant unit can provide advice such as, "This is how you should do it." Also, if a learner makes a mistake in a particular procedure, the virtual assistant unit can provide support such as, "That procedure is incorrect. Here's the correct procedure." Furthermore, the virtual assistant unit can suggest the next content the learner should study based on their progress, for example. This allows learners to receive advice and support in real time, improving their learning effectiveness.
[0053] The learning support system further includes a gamification section, which can provide interactive learning content incorporating game elements to allow learners to enjoy learning. For example, solving multiplication problems earns points, which can be used to purchase virtual items. The gamification section can also allow learners to earn badges by successfully completing chemical reaction experiments, which can then be collected. The gamification section can also allow learners to level up and advance to the next stage by performing correct operations in vocational training, for example. This allows learners to progress through learning in a game-like manner, increasing their motivation to learn.
[0054] The learning support system further includes a virtual tour unit, which can provide a function that allows learners to virtually visit various places. For example, in a history class, when a learner holds up their smartphone, an ancient Roman cityscape is displayed, allowing them to virtually visit the place. In a science class, for example, when a learner holds up their smartphone, the virtual tour unit displays outer space, allowing them to virtually explore the universe. In a geography class, for example, when a learner holds up their smartphone, the virtual tour unit displays famous places around the world, allowing them to virtually visit the place. This allows learners to virtually visit various places, enriching their learning experience.
[0055] The learning support system further includes a customization unit, which can provide a function that allows a learner to customize their own learning environment. For example, the learner can select their favorite background image or theme color. The customization unit also adds a function that allows a learner to customize their own learning plan, for example. For example, the learner can progress through the learning content at their own pace. The customization unit also develops a system that allows a learner to set their own learning goals and customize their learning plan based on those goals. For example, the learning content and progress status can be adjusted according to the goals set by the learner. This allows the learner to customize their own learning environment and progress more effectively.

[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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).
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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."
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
