Furthermore, the generative AI can suggest the best design for a specific campaign based on the user's social media activity. This allows for more effective marketing by making personalized design suggestions based on the user's social media activity.

[0041] The marketing support system can also collect user feedback and improve design proposals based on that feedback. For example, users can comment on and rate proposed designs, and the generative AI can use that data to improve its next proposal. Specific design elements can also be enhanced or removed based on user feedback. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that collects user feedback in real time and instantly reflects it in design proposals. This allows design proposals based on user feedback to provide designs that are more satisfying.

[0042] The marketing support system can also analyze the user's geographical location information to propose region-specific designs. For example, it can propose designs that reflect the culture and trends of the user's region. Furthermore, based on the user's location information, the generative AI can propose designs that match local events or seasons. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that collects the user's geographical location information in real time and immediately reflects it in design proposals. This allows for more effective marketing by proposing designs based on the user's geographical location information.

[0043] The marketing support system can also analyze a user's browsing history to make personalized design suggestions.

This makes it easier to create designs in a team by adding a function that allows designs to be shared with other users and customized collaboratively.

[0058] The suggestion unit can use the emotion estimation function to provide real-time feedback on the emotions of the user when customizing the design, and support customization based on the emotions. The suggestion unit, for example, uses the emotion estimation function to provide real-time feedback on the emotions of the user when customizing the design. For example, by analyzing the user's facial expressions and voice and displaying an emotion score, it preferentially suggests designs that evoke positive emotions in the user. The suggestion unit also builds a system in which a generative AI supports optimal customization based on the user's emotion data. For example, if the user expresses negative emotions, it suggests changes to the design. The suggestion unit also uses the emotion estimation function to provide real-time feedback on the emotions of the user when customizing the design, and support optimal customization. For example, it makes suggestions to adjust the color or layout of the design according to changes in the user's emotions. This allows optimal customization to be supported based on the user's emotions, making it possible to create a design that satisfies the user.

[0059] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0060] The marketing support system can also analyze a user's past purchasing history and make personalized design suggestions.

In addition, the generative AI can suggest designs that are optimal for promoting specific products based on the user's purchasing history. Furthermore, it can analyze a user's purchasing history and make design suggestions that match the season or events. This allows for more effective marketing by making personalized design suggestions based on the user's purchasing history.

[0061] The marketing support system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the design colors based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions, it will suggest bright colors, and if they express negative emotions, it will suggest subdued colors. The generative AI can also suggest the optimal color palette based on the user's emotional data. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that adjusts colors in real time according to changes in the user's emotions. This allows for more effective design proposals by adjusting colors based on the user's emotions.

For example, it can suggest highly relevant designs based on the content and comments the user has shared on social media. It can also analyze the activities of the user's followers and friends to make design suggestions that match trends. Furthermore, the generative AI can suggest the best design for a specific campaign based on the user's social media activity. This allows for more effective marketing by making personalized design suggestions based on the user's social media activity.

[0063] The marketing support system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the design layout based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions, it will suggest an open layout, and if they express negative emotions, it will suggest a simple layout. The generative AI can also suggest the optimal layout based on the user's emotional data. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that adjusts the layout in real time according to changes in the user's emotions. This allows for more effective design proposals by adjusting the layout based on the user's emotions.

[0064] The marketing support system can also collect user feedback and improve design proposals based on that feedback. For example, users can comment on and rate proposed designs, and the generative AI can use that data to improve its next proposal. Specific design elements can also be enhanced or removed based on user feedback. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that collects user feedback in real time and instantly reflects it in design proposals. This allows design proposals based on user feedback to provide designs that are more satisfying.

[0065] The marketing support system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the font of the design based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions, it will suggest a soft font, and if they express negative emotions, it will suggest a simple font. The generative AI can also suggest the most suitable font based on the user's emotional data. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that adjusts the font in real time according to changes in the user's emotions. This allows for more effective design proposals by adjusting the font based on the user's emotions.

[0066] The marketing support system can also analyze the user's geographical location information to propose region-specific designs. For example, it can propose designs that reflect the culture and trends of the user's region. Furthermore, based on the user's location information, the generative AI can propose designs that match local events or seasons. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that collects the user's geographical location information in real time and immediately reflects it in design proposals. This allows for more effective marketing by proposing designs based on the user's geographical location information.

[0067] The marketing support system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the design animation based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions, it will suggest a dynamic animation, and if they express negative emotions, it will suggest a static animation. The generative AI can also suggest the optimal animation based on the user's emotional data. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that adjusts animations in real time according to changes in the user's emotions. This allows for more effective design proposals by adjusting animations based on the user's emotions.

[0068] The marketing support system can also analyze a user's browsing history to make personalized design suggestions. For example, it can suggest highly relevant designs based on the websites the user has previously visited and the content they have viewed. The generative AI can also suggest designs that are optimal for promoting specific products based on the user's browsing history. Furthermore, it can analyze a user's browsing history to make design suggestions tailored to the season or event. This allows for more effective marketing by making personalized design suggestions based on the user's browsing history.

[0069] The marketing support system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the design interactions based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user expresses positive emotions, it can propose a design with many interactive elements, and if the user expresses negative emotions, it can propose simple interactions. The generative AI can also propose optimal interactions based on the user's emotional data. Furthermore, it is possible to add a function that adjusts interactions in real time according to changes in the user's emotions. This allows for more effective design proposals by adjusting interactions based on the user's emotions.

[0116] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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).

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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."

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.
