[0028] (Example 1) The AI secretary system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system targeted at businessmen and their families. This system responds to verbal requests from businessmen for internal inquiries, meeting room arrangements, and clerical work by the deadline. For family members, it also has a function that automatically reminds them at the entrance of important matters and reminds them not to forget anything, acting as a family secretary. This allows the AI secretary system to streamline the daily lives of businessmen and their families, preventing them from forgetting important matters and forgetting things.
[0029] The AI secretary system according to the embodiment includes an inquiry response unit, a conference room coordination unit, an administrative work unit, a reminder unit, and a lost-item confirmation unit. When a businessman makes an internal inquiry in the inquiry response unit, the generation AI analyzes the content of the inquiry and provides an appropriate response. For example, in response to an inquiry such as "What is this month's sales data?", the generation AI searches the internal database and provides the latest sales data. The generation AI also obtains information from a project management system and responds to an inquiry such as "What is the progress of a new project?" When a businessman requests a conference room, the conference room coordination unit checks the availability of the conference room and makes the reservation. For example, in response to a request such as "Please reserve a conference room for next Tuesday," the generation AI checks the conference room schedule and reserves an available time slot. The generation AI can also automatically send notifications to meeting participants. When a businessman requests administrative work, the generation AI automatically performs the work. For example, in response to a request such as "Please prepare these documents by tomorrow," the generation AI creates and organizes the documents. The generation AI also responds to requests such as "Compile this data into Excel," entering and organizing the data. The reminder section ensures that family members don't forget important tasks. For example, the generation AI can inform family members of important events, such as "Today is Grandma's birthday, so please bring a present." The generation AI can also remind them to make necessary preparations based on events registered on the calendar. The lost and found section ensures that family members don't forget anything when they go out. For example, the generation AI can tell them what they need to bring based on the weather forecast, such as "It's going to rain today, so please bring an umbrella." The generation AI can also create a list of items needed for school or work and check them before going out. This allows the AI secretary system to streamline the daily lives of businessmen and their families, preventing them from forgetting important tasks or forgetting things. For example, businessmen can smoothly handle internal inquiries, arrange meeting rooms, and perform administrative tasks, while family members can avoid forgetting important tasks or forgetting things. This is expected to reduce stress in daily life and lead to more efficient living.
[0030] The inquiry response unit learns a businessman's past behavioral patterns and can automatically suggest necessary tasks without a request.

For example, the generation AI notifies the businessman in advance of monthly report preparation and regular meeting preparation. The generation AI also learns a businessman's past behavioral patterns and automatically reminds the businessman of tasks that are required at specific times. For example, the generation AI suggests quarterly performance reviews and annual budget creation. The generation AI also analyzes a businessman's past project history and automatically suggests tasks that were required in similar projects. For example, the generation AI suggests creating necessary materials and setting up meetings when starting a new project. This enables efficient task management for businessmen.
[0031] The conference room coordination unit can propose the optimal conference room and time, taking into account the importance of the meeting and the schedules of the participants. For example, the generation AI analyzes the importance of the meeting and the schedules of the participants to propose the optimal conference room and time. For example, the generation AI proposes a large conference room for an important meeting and a small conference room for a meeting with a small number of participants. The generation AI also integrates the schedules of the meeting participants and proposes the optimal time when everyone can attend. For example, the generation AI automatically selects a time when everyone's schedule is free. The generation AI also evaluates the importance of the meeting and proposes a conference room that is equipped with the necessary facilities for an important meeting. For example, the generation AI proposes a conference room that has a projector or whiteboard for a meeting that requires these facilities. This enables efficient coordination of meetings.
[0032] The administrative work unit automatically prioritizes administrative work, allowing work to proceed efficiently. For example, the generation AI automatically prioritizes administrative work, allowing work to proceed efficiently. For example, the generation AI prioritizes tasks based on importance and deadlines. The generation AI also monitors the progress of administrative work in real time and dynamically adjusts priorities. For example, if an urgent task is added, it will reprioritize other tasks. The generation AI also improves efficiency by processing tasks of the same type together. This makes it possible to make administrative work more efficient.
[0033] The reminder section can integrate each family member's schedule and optimize the overall schedule. In the reminder section, for example, the generation AI collects the schedules of each family member and optimizes the overall schedule. For example, the generation AI suggests the best date and time for an event that all family members will attend. The generation AI also integrates each family member's schedule and automatically detects and adjusts overlaps and contradictions. For example, the generation AI makes optimal adjustments when multiple members have different plans at the same time. The generation AI also monitors family schedules in real time and automatically updates the overall schedule if any changes occur. For example, the generation AI notifies other members if there is a sudden change in plans. This makes schedule management for the entire family more efficient.
[0034] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

It also responds to requests such as "put this data together in Excel," entering and organizing the data. Step 4: In the reminder section, the AI generator will remind the family members to make sure they don't forget important events. For example, it will inform the family of important events by saying, "Today is Grandma's birthday, so please bring a present." The AI generator can also remind the family members to make necessary preparations based on the events registered in the calendar. Step 5: When family members go out, the AI generation checks to make sure they haven't forgotten anything. For example, it tells them what they need to bring based on the weather forecast, such as "It's going to rain today, so please take an umbrella." The AI generation can also create a list of items they need for school or work, and check them before they go out.

[0110] 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.
[0111] 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.
[0112] 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.
[0113] 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).
[0114] 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.
[0115] 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."
[0116] 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.
[0117] 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.
[0118] 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.
[0119] 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.
[0120] 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.
[0121] 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.
[0122] 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.
[0123] 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.
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
