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

[0028] (Example 1) The Eyewear system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides quick answers (A) to questions (Q) about people's problems by adding a generative AI function to the current Eyewear set consisting of earphones and glasses. As a result, when a user inputs a question by voice, the Eyewear system allows the generative AI to analyze the question and generate an appropriate answer.

[0029] An eyewear system according to an embodiment includes earphones, a microphone, a generation AI, and an audio output unit. The earphones are worn in the user's ears and output audio. For example, the earphones can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The earphones have a noise-canceling function to reduce external noise. The earphones have a built-in battery that can withstand long-term use. For example, the earphones can be used continuously for more than eight hours on a full charge. The microphone captures the user's voice. For example, the microphone uses a directional microphone to clearly capture the user's voice. The microphone can also reduce background noise using noise reduction technology. The microphone also has a function to automatically adjust the sensitivity of the voice input. For example, the microphone adjusts the sensitivity according to the volume of the user's voice to achieve optimal voice input. The generation AI analyzes the voice input captured by the microphone and generates an appropriate answer. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate an answer to a user's question. The generation AI can also use a multimodal generation AI to generate an answer that combines voice input and image data. The generation AI also uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's question and generate an optimal answer. For example, the generation AI understands the intent of the user's question and generates an answer based on that. The audio output unit outputs the answer generated by the generation AI as audio. For example, the audio output unit uses a speaker to let the user hear the generated answer. The audio output unit can also provide the generated answer to the user through earphones. The audio output unit also uses speech synthesis technology to output the answer in a natural voice. For example, the audio output unit can adjust the tone and speed of the voice according to the user's preferences. As a result, the Eyewear system according to the embodiment allows the generation AI to generate an appropriate answer based on the user's voice input and output it as audio. For example, when a user asks, "What's the weather like today?", the generation AI replies, "It's sunny today" based on weather forecast data. When a user asks, "Tell me about nearby restaurants," the generation AI analyzes location information and provides audio guidance to the nearest restaurant.

[0030] The generation AI can analyze a user's past question history and automatically follow up on unresolved issues. For example, the generation AI can analyze a user's past question history and list unresolved questions. For example, it can re-suggest questions that the user previously asked but for which the answer was insufficient. The generation AI can also provide new related information based on the questions the user has previously asked. For example, it can provide the latest news on topics the user has previously asked about. The generation AI can also analyze a user's question history and automatically generate follow-up questions for unresolved issues. For example, it can request additional information on questions the user has previously asked. This allows the generation AI to automatically follow up on the user's unresolved issues.

[0031] The generation AI can analyze the user's environmental sounds and generate appropriate answers. For example, the generation AI can analyze the environmental sounds around the user using a microphone and provide concise answers if there is a lot of noise. For example, it can generate short answers in noisy places. The generation AI can also generate answers with detailed explanations if the user is in a quiet environment. For example, it can provide detailed information if the user is in a library. The generation AI can also analyze environmental sounds and suggest music or audio that will help the user relax. For example, if the user is in a quiet place, it can recommend relaxing music. This makes it possible to generate appropriate answers according to the user's environmental sounds.

[0032] Generative AI can track a user's gaze and provide information about the object in front of their eyes. For example, generative AI tracks a user's gaze with a camera and recognizes the object in front of their eyes. For example, if the user is looking at a book, it will provide information about that book. Generative AI can also analyze the user's gaze data and display related information about the object in front of their eyes. For example, if the user is looking at a restaurant menu, it will provide details about the menu. Generative AI can also make suggestions about objects that the user is interested in based on the gaze tracking data. For example, if the user is looking at a product, it will provide reviews and price information for that product. This makes it possible to provide information about the object in front of the user's eyes.

[0033] The generation AI can recognize a user's gestures and generate answers that correspond to the gestures. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's hand movements using a camera and generates answers that correspond to the specific gesture. For example, when a user raises their hand, the generation AI accepts a question. Furthermore, when a user performs a specific gesture, the generation AI provides information corresponding to that gesture. For example, when a user points their finger, it provides information about objects in that direction. Furthermore, the generation AI learns the user's gestures and generates individually customized answers. For example, when a user performs a specific gesture, the generation AI makes suggestions based on the user's preferences. This makes it possible to generate appropriate answers that correspond to the user's gestures.

[0034] Generative AI enhances the noise canceling function of voice input, enabling accurate voice recognition even in noisy environments. For example, generative AI uses noise canceling technology to achieve accurate voice recognition even in noisy environments. For example, it removes background noise when inputting voice in the city. Generative AI also automatically adjusts the noise canceling function when a user inputs voice in a noisy environment. For example, it removes surrounding conversation sounds when inputting voice in a cafe. Generative AI also learns noise canceling technology and provides the optimal noise canceling setting according to the environment. For example, it removes the sound of trains running when inputting voice on a train. This enables accurate voice recognition even in noisy environments.

[0035] When outputting audio, the generation AI can automatically adjust the volume and tone according to the user's hearing characteristics. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's hearing characteristics and automatically adjusts the volume and tone of the audio output. For example, if the user has difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds, the generation AI emphasizes low-pitched sounds. The generation AI also customizes the audio output settings based on the user's hearing characteristics. For example, if the user sets the volume low, the generation AI automatically adjusts the volume. The generation AI also learns the user's hearing characteristics and provides individually customized audio output. For example, if the user has difficulty hearing a specific frequency band, the generation AI emphasizes that band. This makes it possible to automatically adjust the volume and tone according to the user's hearing characteristics.

[0036] In addition to voice input and output, the generation AI provides tactile feedback, allowing the user to feel the answer through touch. For example, the generation AI provides tactile feedback in addition to voice input and output. For example, when the user inputs a question, tactile feedback is used to confirm the question. The generation AI also provides tactile feedback when the user makes a voice input to confirm the input. For example, a vibration is used to notify the user that the voice input was successful. The generation AI also provides tactile feedback when outputting voice, allowing the user to feel the answer through touch. For example, important information is emphasized through tactile feedback. This allows the user to feel the answer through touch.

[0037] The generation AI can improve the accuracy of speech recognition by analyzing the user's mouth movements when inputting speech. For example, the generation AI can analyze the user's mouth movements using a camera to improve the accuracy of speech recognition. For example, it can analyze the shape of the user's mouth when pronouncing words. The generation AI can also analyze the user's mouth movements when inputting speech to improve the accuracy of speech recognition. For example, it can analyze the mouth movements when the user pronounces specific words. The generation AI can also learn the user's mouth movements to provide individually customized speech recognition. For example, it can analyze the mouth movements when the user pronounces specific words. This can improve the accuracy of speech recognition.

[0038] The generating AI can analyze the user's health data and make suggestions based on the health condition.

[0104] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0105] Step 1: The earphones are placed in the user's ears and output sound. For example, the earphones can be connected to a smartphone using Bluetooth. The earphones also have a noise-canceling function that can reduce external noise. The earphones also have a built-in battery that can withstand long-term use. For example, the earphones can be used continuously for more than 8 hours on a full charge. Step 2: The microphone captures the user's voice. For example, the microphone uses a directional microphone to clearly capture the user's voice. The microphone can also use noise reduction technology to reduce background noise. The microphone also has a function to automatically adjust the sensitivity of the voice input. For example, the microphone adjusts the sensitivity according to the volume of the user's voice to achieve optimal voice input. Step 3: The generation AI analyzes the voice input captured by the microphone and generates an appropriate answer. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate an answer to the user's question. The generation AI can also use a multimodal generation AI to generate an answer that combines the voice input and image data. The generation AI also uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's question and generate an optimal answer. For example, the generation AI understands the intent of the user's question and generates an answer based on that. Step 4: The audio output unit outputs the answer generated by the generation AI by voice. For example, the audio output unit uses a speaker to let the user hear the generated answer. The audio output unit can also provide the generated answer to the user through earphones. The audio output unit also uses voice synthesis technology to output the answer in a natural voice. For example, the audio output unit can adjust the tone and speed of the voice according to the user's preferences.

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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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).

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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."

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.
