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

[0028] (Example 1) The financial planner system according to the embodiment of the present invention acquires basic setting information from a user, generates a plan using a generation AI, and modifies the plan according to the user's situation and goals. This allows the financial planner system to provide an optimal financial plan tailored to the user's life.

[0029] A financial planner system according to an embodiment includes a setting information acquisition unit, a plan generation unit, and a plan correction unit. The setting information acquisition unit acquires basic setting information about a user. For example, the setting information acquisition unit collects information such as age, income, and family structure by inputting the information. The plan generation unit generates plans related to education, home purchase, and life events based on the setting information acquired by the setting information acquisition unit. For example, if a user inputs, "I want to plan my children's education expenses," the plan generation unit proposes an estimated education expense and a savings plan based on the information. The plan correction unit corrects the plan generated by the plan generation unit according to the user's current situation and goals. For example, if the user's income increases or their family structure changes, the plan correction unit reevaluates the plan and provides an optimal plan. This allows the financial planner system according to an embodiment to provide an optimal financial plan tailored to the user's life. For example, the user can plan their children's education expenses while preparing for home purchases and life events. Furthermore, even if the situation changes, the optimal plan can be maintained by making appropriate corrections.

[0030] The plan generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the user's past financial behavior data and provide a more accurate plan. For example, the plan generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the user's past bank transaction history and credit card usage history to understand spending patterns and savings tendencies. This allows for a more accurate plan based on the user's actual financial behavior. The plan generation unit also uses the generation AI to analyze the user's past investment history and risk tolerance to propose an optimal investment strategy. For example, it provides a plan that minimizes risk based on past investment successes and failures. The plan generation unit also uses the generation AI to analyze the user's past income fluctuations and spending tendencies to create future income forecasts and spending plans. This allows for a realistic plan tailored to the user's lifestyle. This allows for a more accurate plan to be provided by analyzing the user's past financial behavior data.

[0031] The plan generation unit can add questions that reflect the user's lifestyle and values ​​and generate a personalized plan. The plan generation unit, for example, adds questions about the user's hobbies, interests, and values ​​and customizes the plan based on them. For example, a user who likes to travel is suggested a savings plan that takes travel expenses into account. The plan generation unit also adds questions about the user's lifestyle (e.g., health-consciousness, eco-consciousness) and personalizes the plan based on them. For example, a health-conscious user is provided with a plan that takes health-related expenses into account. The plan generation unit also adds questions about the user's future goals and dreams and generates a plan based on them. For example, a user who wants to start a business is suggested methods for preparing startup funds. In this way, personalized plans can be generated by adding questions that reflect the user's lifestyle and values.

[0032] The setting information acquisition unit allows the user to provide setting information by voice input, thereby improving convenience. The setting information acquisition unit, for example, allows the user to input basic information (age, income, family composition, etc.) by voice. For example, the user inputs "I am 35 years old and my annual income is 5 million yen." The setting information acquisition unit also uses voice recognition technology to build a system that can provide setting information by the user answering questions by voice. For example, the user inputs "I would like to plan my children's education expenses." The setting information acquisition unit also uses voice input to develop an interface that allows the user to easily provide setting information. For example, the voice input content is converted into text in real time and a confirmation screen is displayed. This allows the user to provide setting information by voice input, thereby improving convenience.

[0033] The setting information acquisition unit can work in conjunction with other financial services to automatically acquire setting information. The setting information acquisition unit, for example, works in conjunction with the user's bank account or credit card account to automatically acquire transaction history and balance information. This allows for an accurate understanding of the user's financial situation. The setting information acquisition unit also works in conjunction with investment accounts to automatically acquire the user's investment portfolio and risk tolerance. This allows for the proposal of an optimal investment strategy. The setting information acquisition unit also works in conjunction with other financial services (for example, insurance accounts) to automatically acquire the user's insurance contract information. This allows for the provision of plans that take into account insurance premiums and coverage details. This allows for the automatic acquisition of setting information by working in conjunction with other financial services.

[0034] The plan generation unit can use the generation AI to predict fluctuations in education costs by region and propose an optimal savings plan. For example, the plan generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze past data on education costs by region and predict future cost fluctuations. For example, it proposes a savings plan that takes into account differences in education costs between urban and rural areas. The plan generation unit also predicts fluctuations in education costs by region and builds a system that proposes an optimal savings plan based on that prediction. For example, it advises users in regions where education costs are rising to start saving early. The plan generation unit also uses the generation AI to predict future education costs by region and provide users with an optimal savings plan. For example, it proposes a savings plan with reduced risk in regions where education costs are stable. This makes it possible to predict fluctuations in education costs by region and propose an optimal savings plan.

[0035] The plan generation unit can provide an educational plan that takes into account the academic performance and interests of the user's child. For example, the plan generation unit inputs the user's child's academic performance and interests and provides an educational plan based on the input. For example, for a child interested in science, a plan aimed at entering a science university is proposed. The plan generation unit also builds a system that generates an optimal educational plan taking into account the child's academic performance and interests. For example, for a child interested in a specific field, an educational plan specialized for that field is provided. The plan generation unit also proposes an educational plan that takes into account the user's child's future path and career based on the user's child's academic performance and interests. For example, for a child interested in music, a plan aimed at entering a music university is provided. In this way, an educational plan that takes into account the user's child's academic performance and interests can be provided.

For example, it suggests how to select a study abroad destination and how to use scholarships. This makes it possible to provide a plan that also takes into account the costs of studying abroad or at an international school.

[0037] The plan generation unit can automate the application procedures for educational loans or scholarships and propose them to users. The plan generation unit, for example, builds a system that automates the application procedures for educational loans and proposes them to users. For example, it automatically generates the necessary documents and completes the application procedures online. The plan generation unit also develops a system that automates the application procedures for scholarships and proposes them to users. For example, it automatically searches for scholarships that meet the user's conditions and supports the application procedures. The plan generation unit also builds a system that automates the application procedures for educational loans and scholarships and proposes the most suitable options to users. For example, it provides a comparison of multiple loans and scholarships and proposes the most suitable option. In this way, the application procedures for educational loans and scholarships can be automated and proposed to users.

[0038] The plan generation unit can use the generation AI to predict trends in the real estate market for each region and suggest the optimal time to purchase. For example, the plan generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze past data on the real estate market for each region and predict future market trends. For example, it analyzes rising and falling price trends and suggests the optimal time to purchase. The plan generation unit also predicts trends in the real estate market for each region and builds a system that suggests the optimal time to purchase based on that. For example, it suggests purchasing during periods when prices are stable or when demand is low. The plan generation unit also uses the generation AI to predict the future real estate market for each region and provide the user with the optimal time to purchase. For example, it proposes a plan that recommends purchasing before prices rise. This makes it possible to predict trends in the real estate market for each region and suggest the optimal time to purchase.

[0039] The plan generation unit can provide a home plan that takes into account the user's lifestyle and future plans. The plan generation unit, for example, takes into account the user's lifestyle (e.g., whether they have a pet or like the outdoors) and provides a home plan based on that. For example, it can propose a pet-friendly home or a home with plenty of outdoor facilities. The plan generation unit also takes into account the user's future plans (e.g., whether they plan to have a larger family or continue working remotely) and provides a home plan based on that. For example, it can propose a home with many rooms or a home that can accommodate a home office. The plan generation unit also builds a system that provides an optimal home plan based on the user's lifestyle and future plans.

In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0145] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0146] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0147] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0148] 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0149] 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 and / or a LAN.

[0150] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. 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 microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0151] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0152] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0153] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0154] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0155] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0156] 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 processing 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. 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. The robot 414 also 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 perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0159] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0160] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0161] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0162] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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).

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.
