The user information input unit can also use the emotion estimation function to analyze the emotion the user is feeling while inputting data and make suggestions to bring out positive emotions. For example, if the user is having fun, the emotion estimation function suggests an even more enjoyable activity. The user information input unit can also analyze the user's emotion and make suggestions to bring out positive emotions. For example, if the user is tired, the emotion estimation function suggests a travel destination where the user can refresh themselves. In this way, the user's emotion can be analyzed and suggestions to bring out positive emotions can be made.
[0093] The user information input unit can use voice input or image recognition to automatically convert what the user has said or photographed into text and use it as input information. For example, what the user has said is converted into text using voice recognition technology and used as input information. For example, if the user says, "I want to go to Tokyo," it is automatically converted into text. The user information input unit also analyzes images taken by the user using image recognition technology and uses it as input information. For example, if a photo of a tourist spot is taken, the location is automatically recognized. The user information input unit also uses voice input or image recognition to automatically convert what the user has said or photographed into text and use it as input information. For example, a travel plan can be generated based on what the user has said or photographed. This allows what the user has said or photographed to be automatically converted into text and used as input information.
[0094] The user information input unit allows information to be input and shared seamlessly between different devices. For example, it provides a function that allows information entered by a user on a smartphone to be seamlessly shared with a tablet or PC. For example, travel destination information entered on a smartphone can be checked on a PC. The user information input unit also provides a function that allows information to be input and shared seamlessly between different devices.

[0095] The user information input unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the facial expression and tone of voice when the user inputs information and optimize the input content. For example, the emotion estimation function can be used to analyze the facial expression when the user inputs information and optimize the input content. For example, if the user is smiling when inputting information, positive suggestions can be made. The user information input unit can also use the emotion estimation function to analyze the tone of voice when the user inputs information and optimize the input content. For example, if the user is excited, an active travel plan can be suggested. The user information input unit also provides a function to analyze the facial expression and tone of voice of the user and optimize the input content. For example, if the user is relaxed, a relaxing travel destination can be suggested. In this way, the user's facial expression and tone of voice can be analyzed and the input content can be optimized.
[0096] The travel plan generation unit can simultaneously generate multiple different travel plans based on information input by the user, allowing them to be compared and considered. For example, multiple different travel plans can be simultaneously generated based on information input by the user, allowing them to be compared and considered. For example, a Tokyo sightseeing plan and a Kyoto sightseeing plan can be presented simultaneously. The travel plan generation unit can also simultaneously generate multiple different travel plans, allowing the user to compare and consider them. For example, plans based on budget and plans based on period can be presented simultaneously. The travel plan generation unit can also simultaneously generate multiple travel plans based on information input by the user, allowing them to be compared and considered. For example, a plan that emphasizes tourist spots and a plan that emphasizes meals can be presented simultaneously. This allows multiple different travel plans to be simultaneously generated, comparing and considered.
[0097] The travel plan generation unit reflects the user's past reviews and ratings in the generated travel plan, thereby providing a more accurate plan. For example, the user's past reviews and ratings are reflected in the generated travel plan. For example, tourist spots and accommodations that have received high ratings in the past are preferentially suggested. The travel plan generation unit also improves the accuracy of the generated travel plan based on the user's past reviews and ratings. For example, spots that have received low ratings in the past are excluded. The travel plan generation unit also reflects the user's past reviews and ratings in the generated travel plan, thereby providing a more accurate plan. For example, restaurants that have been well-received in the past are suggested. This allows the user's past reviews and ratings to be reflected, thereby providing a more accurate plan.
[0098] The travel plan generation unit can use the emotion estimation function to prioritize incorporating into the plan activities that are predicted to be most enjoyable for the user. For example, the emotion estimation function is used to prioritize incorporating into the plan activities that are predicted to be most enjoyable for the user. For example, activities that excite the user are suggested. The travel plan generation unit also analyzes the user's emotions and incorporates into the plan activities that are most enjoyable for the user. For example, activities that allow the user to relax are suggested. The travel plan generation unit also uses the emotion estimation function to prioritize incorporating into the plan activities that the user can enjoy. For example, activities that make the user smile are suggested. In this way, activities that are predicted to be most enjoyable for the user can be prioritized in the plan.
[0099] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0100] Step 1: In the user information input section, the user inputs the places they want to go, the things they want to do, their budget, the duration, their purpose, and other preferences. For example, the user might input information such as "I want to go to Tokyo," "I want to eat delicious sushi," "My budget is 100,000 yen," "My duration is 3 days," "I want to go sightseeing with 3 friends," and "I want to go to a hot spring." Step 2: The travel plan generation unit generates a travel plan based on the user information input by the user information input unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's input information and generates an optimal travel plan. The generation AI can generate the travel plan using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 3: The travel plan presentation unit presents the travel plan generated by the travel plan generation unit to the user. For example, the plan may include specific schedules, tourist spots, recommended restaurants, and accommodations, such as "Day 1: Sightseeing at Tokyo Tower, having a sushi lunch in Ginza, visiting Sensoji Temple, and staying overnight at a hot spring," "Day 2: Spending the day at Disneyland," and "Day 3: Sightseeing at Odaiba and shopping." Step 4: The chat re-presentation unit allows the user to request a re-presentation of the travel plan presented by the travel plan presentation unit in chat format. For example, the user may communicate to the generation AI requests such as "I want to eat yakiniku instead of sushi lunch" or "I want to go to Ueno Zoo instead of Disneyland." The generation AI analyzes these requests, re-generates the optimal travel plan, and presents it to the user.

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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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 AIs 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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).
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
