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) The educational support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that scans test results, analyzes them using a generative AI, and suggests learning points. This allows the educational support system to identify students' weaknesses and suggest optimal learning points.
[0029] An education support system according to an embodiment includes a scanning unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The scanning unit scans test results. For example, the scanning unit scans test papers using a scanner and saves the images as image data. The scanning unit can also photograph test papers using a smartphone camera and upload the images to an app. The scanning unit can also read printed test results using OCR technology. For example, the scanning unit scans handwritten answer sheets using a high-resolution scanner and converts them into text information using OCR technology. When using a smartphone camera, the app automatically corrects the image and performs character recognition. OCR technology recognizes printed characters with high accuracy and converts them into digital text. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the test results scanned by the scanning unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the test results using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The generation AI can also analyze the content of the test results using a multimodal generation AI. If there are many mistakes in a particular question type, the generation AI suggests learning points related to that question type. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI to pick out particularly important information from test results and perform analysis based on that information. The multimodal generation AI can handle multiple modalities, including not only text but also images and audio. The generation AI uses keyword extraction technology to pick out particularly important information from test results and perform analysis based on that information. The suggestion unit suggests optimal study points for students based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit suggests additional practice questions for specific problem types and reference materials to deepen understanding. The suggestion unit can also use the generation AI to create individual study plans. The suggestion unit can also use the generation AI to monitor students' learning progress and provide regular feedback. For example, the suggestion unit suggests additional practice questions for specific problem types. The suggestion unit uses the generation AI to suggest additional practice questions for specific problem types and reference materials to deepen understanding. This allows the education support system according to the embodiment to identify students' weaknesses and suggest optimal study points.For example, the output unit can display suggested learning points to students and teachers via a web or mobile application, print the results using a printer if they prefer paper feedback, or send the results via email, providing quick feedback by sending the results directly to students and parents.
[0030] The scanning unit can take a photo of the test paper using a smartphone camera and upload the image to the app. For example, the scanning unit can take a photo of the test paper using a smartphone camera and upload the image to the app. For example, the generation AI recognizes the handwritten characters on the scanned test paper and automatically corrects typos and typing errors. For example, if a "5" is misrecognized as an "S" in a math test, the context is analyzed to correct it to the correct number. To improve the accuracy of handwriting recognition, the generation AI also learns from past data and automatically corrects typos and typing errors. For example, it learns frequently used character patterns and accurately corrects them. The generation AI also recognizes handwritten characters during scanning and provides a function to automatically correct typos and typing errors. For example, if a user misspells "their" as "there" in an English test, the context is analyzed to correct the mistake. This eliminates the need for scanning by simply taking a photo of the test paper using a smartphone camera and uploading it to the app.
[0031] If there are many mistakes on a particular question type, the analysis unit can suggest learning points related to that question type. For example, if there are many mistakes on a particular question type, the analysis unit can suggest learning points related to that question type. For example, the generation AI can automatically correct distortions in scanned test paper images. For example, it can accurately correct images taken at an angle, making them easier to read. The generation AI can also automatically remove shadows from scanned images, improving the accuracy of test result reading. For example, it can analyze shadows caused by light reflection and remove them from the image. The generation AI also provides a function to automatically correct image distortions and shadows to improve the quality of scanned images. For example, it can straighten crooked test papers to make them flat, allowing them to be read accurately. This effectively addresses students' weak points by suggesting learning points related to that question type if there are many mistakes on a particular question type.
[0032] The suggestion unit can suggest additional practice problems for a specific problem type or reference materials to deepen understanding. The suggestion unit suggests, for example, additional practice problems for a specific problem type or reference materials to deepen understanding. For example, the generation AI analyzes the student's facial expressions during scanning and uses an emotion estimation function to detect stress or anxiety. For example, it reads tension from the facial expression and provides advice to relax. The generation AI also analyzes the student's tone of voice during scanning and uses an emotion estimation function to detect stress or anxiety. For example, it reads tension from the tone of voice and provides advice to relax. The emotion estimation function also analyzes the student's emotions during scanning and provides advice to reduce stress or anxiety. For example, it suggests deep breathing or simple exercises to relax. In this way, the suggestion unit deepens the student's understanding by suggesting additional practice problems or reference materials for a specific problem type.
[0033] The analysis unit can analyze scanned test results and identify students' weaknesses and areas of strength. For example, the analysis unit analyzes scanned test results and identifies students' weaknesses and areas of strength. For example, by combining scanned data with voice input, the generation AI can input test results via voice. For example, a student can input their test score or incorrect questions via voice. The generation AI can also combine scanned data with voice input to support the input of test results via voice. For example, a student can read out their test score via voice, and the generation AI can input that data. The generation AI can also combine scanned data with voice input to enable the input of test results via voice. For example, a student can explain the questions they got wrong via voice, and the generation AI can input that data. This makes it possible to analyze scanned test results and identify students' weaknesses and areas of strength, enabling individual learning support.
[0034] The suggestion unit can use the generative AI to create an individual study plan for each student. The suggestion unit, for example, uses the generative AI to create an individual study plan for each student. For example, the generative AI automatically recognizes the layout of a test paper when scanning, and can handle tests of different formats. For example, it can accurately read multiple-choice and written tests. The generative AI also automatically recognizes the layout of a test paper when scanning, providing a function that can handle tests of different formats. For example, it can accurately read test papers created by different schools or teachers. The generative AI also automatically recognizes the layout of a test paper when scanning, and can handle tests of different formats. For example, it can accurately read test papers for different subjects or grades. This makes it possible to create an individual study plan using the generative AI, enabling optimal learning support for each student.
[0035] The scanning unit can automatically correct image distortion and shadows to improve the quality of scanned images. The scanning unit, for example, automatically corrects image distortion and shadows to improve the quality of scanned images. For example, the generation AI automatically corrects image distortion in scanned test paper. For example, it accurately corrects images taken at an angle to make them easier to read. The generation AI also automatically removes shadows from scanned images to improve the accuracy of reading test results. For example, it analyzes shadows caused by light reflection and removes them from the image. The generation AI also provides a function to automatically correct image distortion and shadows to improve the quality of scanned images. For example, it straightens out a curved test paper to make it flat and read it accurately. This automatically corrects image distortion and shadows to improve the quality of scanned images, thereby improving the accuracy of reading data.
[0036] The scanning unit can combine scanned data with voice input, enabling test results to be entered via voice. The scanning unit can, for example, combine scanned data with voice input, enabling test results to be entered via voice. For example, by combining scanned data with voice input, the generation AI can input test results via voice. For example, a student can input their test score or incorrect questions via voice. The generation AI can also combine scanned data with voice input to support the input of test results via voice. For example, a student can read out their test score via voice, and the generation AI can input that data. The generation AI can also combine scanned data with voice input, enabling test results to be entered via voice. For example, a student can explain the questions they got wrong via voice, and the generation AI can input that data. In this way, by combining scanned data with voice input, test results can also be entered via voice.
[0037] The scanning unit automatically recognizes the layout of the test paper and can accommodate tests of different formats. For example, the generation AI automatically recognizes the layout of the test paper when scanning, making it compatible with different test formats. For example, it can accurately read multiple-choice and written tests. The generation AI also automatically recognizes the layout of the test paper when scanning, providing a function that can accommodate different test formats. For example, it can accurately read test papers created by different schools or teachers. The generation AI also automatically recognizes the layout of the test paper when scanning, making it compatible with different test formats. For example, it can accurately read test papers for different subjects or grades. This allows the system to automatically recognize the layout of the test paper and accommodate different test formats, making it possible to accommodate a wide range of test formats.
[0038] The analysis unit can suggest learning points that match the student's learning style based on the analysis results. For example, the analysis unit suggests learning points that match the student's learning style based on the analysis results. For example, the generation AI suggests learning points that match the student's learning style based on the analysis results. For example, for visual students, it suggests learning materials that make extensive use of diagrams and graphs. The generation AI also analyzes the student's learning style and suggests learning points based on that. For example, it suggests audio materials or podcasts for auditory students. The generation AI also suggests learning points that match the student's learning style based on the analysis results. For example, it suggests experiments or hands-on activities for tactile students. In this way, effective learning is supported by suggesting learning points that match the student's learning style based on the analysis results.
[0039] The analysis unit can compare past test results, analyze progress and trends, and suggest study points. For example, the analysis unit compares past test results, analyzes progress and trends, and suggests study points. For example, the generation AI compares past test results with current test results, analyzes progress and trends, and suggests study points. For example, it evaluates whether questions that were difficult in the past have improved. The generation AI also analyzes past test results and suggests study points based on progress and trends. For example, it analyzes changes in understanding of specific question types. The generation AI also compares past test results with current test results, analyzes progress and trends, and suggests study points. For example, it evaluates changes in areas of strength and weakness. In this way, by comparing with past test results, analyzing progress and trends, and suggesting study points, the generation AI supports the student's growth.
[0040] The analysis unit can make suggestions for group learning or pair learning based on the analysis results, thereby promoting collaborative learning. The analysis unit, for example, makes suggestions for group learning or pair learning based on the analysis results, thereby promoting collaborative learning.

For example, matching students with the same weaknesses. The generation AI also makes suggestions for group learning or pair learning to promote collaborative learning based on the analysis results, thereby promoting collaborative learning. For example, matching students with different areas of expertise. The generation AI also makes suggestions for group learning or pair learning based on the analysis results, thereby promoting collaborative learning. For example, making suggestions for working together on a specific task. In this way, group learning or pair learning is suggested based on the analysis results, promoting collaborative learning, and supporting students learning from each other.
[0041] The suggestion unit can use the generation AI to consider the student's lifestyle and schedule and suggest the optimal study time slot. The suggestion unit, for example, uses the generation AI to consider the student's lifestyle and schedule and suggest the optimal study time slot. For example, the generation AI analyzes the student's lifestyle and schedule and suggests the optimal study time slot.

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.
[0141] 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.

[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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).
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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 robot 414 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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).
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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."
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.

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.
