[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.
[0025] 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.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. 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 automatic haircutting system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that accurately cuts a user's desired hairstyle. This system allows the user to communicate with AI about the length and style of the cut, and the robot cuts the hair while sucking it up based on the user's instructions, thereby achieving a fast and accurate haircut. This allows the automatic haircutting system to quickly and accurately cut a user's desired hairstyle.
[0029] The automatic haircutting system according to the embodiment includes a dialogue unit, an analysis unit, and a cutting unit. The dialogue unit receives instructions from a user. For example, it can receive voice instructions. The dialogue unit can also receive touch panel input. The dialogue unit can also receive gesture input. The analysis unit analyzes the instructions received by the dialogue unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes voice instructions using voice recognition technology. The analysis unit can also analyze the instruction content using natural language processing technology. The analysis unit can also analyze gesture input using image recognition technology. The cutting unit cuts hair based on the instructions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the cutting unit cuts hair to a specified length. The cutting unit can also cut hair in a specified style. The cutting unit can also automatically select tools to use and cut hair. This allows hair to be cut based on user instructions.
[0030] The dialogue unit learns the user's past haircut history and can predict and suggest the user's preferred style. For example, the dialogue unit's generation AI learns data on hairstyles the user has chosen in the past, and predicts and suggests the user's preferred style based on that data for the next haircut. For example, if a user has previously preferred short hair, the dialogue unit will suggest the latest short hair style. The dialogue unit also analyzes trends based on the user's past haircut history and suggests the latest style that suits the user's preferences. For example, the dialogue unit makes suggestions that reflect current trends based on styles that were popular in the past. The dialogue unit also learns the user's past haircut history, and the generation AI suggests styles according to the season or event. For example, it suggests cool short styles in the summer and voluminous styles in the winter. This makes it possible to predict and suggest the user's preferred style.
[0031] The dialogue unit can scan the user's face shape or hair type with a camera and suggest the optimal haircut style. For example, the dialogue unit can scan the user's face shape and hair type with a camera, and the generation AI can suggest the optimal haircut style based on that data. For example, for a user with a round face, it can suggest a style that makes the face look slimmer. The dialogue unit can also analyze the hair type data scanned with the camera, and the generation AI can suggest a haircut style based on the damage and volume of the hair. For example, for a user with thin hair and little volume, it can suggest a style that has a voluminous effect. The dialogue unit can also scan the user's face shape and hair type, and the generation AI can suggest trendy styles based on that data. For example, it can suggest the latest hairstyles that suit the face shape. This makes it possible to suggest the optimal haircut style based on the user's face shape and hair type.
[0032] The dialogue unit allows the generation AI to suggest fashion and makeup that suits a style selected by the user based on that style. For example, based on a hairstyle selected by the user, the dialogue unit allows the generation AI to suggest fashion items that suit that style. For example, it may suggest casual clothing that suits short hair. Furthermore, based on a hairstyle selected by the user, the dialogue unit allows the generation AI to suggest makeup that suits that style. For example, it may suggest natural makeup that suits a bob cut. Furthermore, based on the hairstyle selected by the user, the dialogue unit allows the generation AI to suggest accessories that suit that style. For example, it may suggest earrings and necklaces that go well with long hair. This makes it possible to suggest fashion and makeup that suits the style selected by the user.
[0033] The dialogue unit develops a multi-user compatible generation AI with which multiple users can interact simultaneously, allowing them to enjoy a haircut together with family and friends. For example, the dialogue unit develops a generation AI with which multiple users can interact simultaneously, and builds a system for enjoying a haircut together with family and friends. For example, it allows all family members to give haircut instructions at the same time. The dialogue unit also uses a multi-user compatible generation AI to develop a system in which friends can enjoy a haircut together at the same time. For example, friends can enjoy conversations while getting their haircut in the same room. The dialogue unit also develops a generation AI with which multiple users can interact simultaneously, and organizes an event where family and friends can enjoy a haircut together. For example, it plans an event where all family members get a haircut together. This allows multiple users to interact simultaneously, allowing them to enjoy a haircut together with family and friends.
[0034] The analysis unit can translate user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. The analysis unit, for example, builds a system in which a generation AI translates user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, Japanese instructions are translated into English for understanding. The analysis unit also translates user instructions in real time, making it possible for the generation AI to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, English instructions are translated into Spanish for understanding. The analysis unit also develops a system in which a generation AI translates user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, Chinese instructions are translated into French for understanding. This makes it possible to translate user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages.
[0035] The analysis unit, upon receiving a user's instructions, can display a haircut simulation in real time, allowing the user to check the results. For example, the analysis unit builds a system that displays a haircut simulation in real time, when the generation AI receives a user's instructions. For example, the analysis unit displays the style specified by the user as a 3D model. Furthermore, the analysis unit, upon receiving a user's instructions, can display a haircut simulation in real time, allowing the user to check the results. For example, the analysis unit displays an image of the hair after cutting on a screen. Furthermore, the analysis unit develops a system that displays a haircut simulation in real time, when the generation AI receives a user's instructions. For example, the analysis unit displays the style specified by the user in virtual reality. In this way, the analysis unit, upon receiving a user's instructions, can display a haircut simulation in real time, allowing the user to check the results.
[0036] The cutting unit uses sensors to detect the texture and thickness of the hair when sucking it, and can automatically adjust the optimal cutting method. For example, we will develop a system in which the cutting unit uses sensors to detect the texture and thickness of the hair when the robot sucks it, and automatically adjusts the optimal cutting method. For example, if the hair is thin, the cutting speed will be slowed down. The cutting unit also uses sensors to detect the texture and thickness of the hair, and the robot automatically adjusts the optimal cutting method. For example, if the hair is thick, the cutting force will be increased. We will also develop a system in which the cutting unit uses sensors to detect the texture and thickness of the hair in real time when the robot sucks it, and automatically adjusts the optimal cutting method. For example, the cutting angle will be adjusted depending on the hair texture. This allows the sensor to detect the texture and thickness of the hair, and automatically adjusts the optimal cutting method.
[0037] The cutting unit can achieve a natural finish by taking into account the direction of hair growth. For example, a system will be developed in which the cutting unit takes into account the direction of hair growth when the robot cuts. For example, a natural finish will be achieved by cutting in the direction of hair growth. The cutting unit will also use a sensor to detect the direction of hair growth, and the robot will cut in that direction. For example, the cutting unit will cut in such a way that the hair does not go against the direction of hair growth. The cutting unit will also develop a system in which the robot detects the direction of hair growth in real time when cutting, achieving a natural finish. For example, the angle of the cut will be adjusted to match the direction of hair growth. This will achieve a natural finish by taking into account the direction of hair growth.
[0038] The cutting unit can provide a scalp massage at the same time as sucking up hair, providing a relaxation effect. For example, a system can be constructed in which the robot simultaneously massages the scalp while sucking up hair. For example, a suction function and a massage function can be combined. Furthermore, the cutting unit can provide a scalp massage while sucking up hair. For example, a massage function can be added to a cutting arm that has a suction function. Furthermore, a system can be developed in which the robot simultaneously massages the scalp while sucking up hair, providing a relaxation effect. For example, a program can be incorporated to perform suction and massage simultaneously. This allows the robot to simultaneously massage the scalp while sucking up hair, providing a relaxation effect.
[0039] The cutting unit can add a dyeing or treatment function to change the hair color or texture. For example, a system is constructed in which the cutting unit adds a dyeing function to change the hair color when the robot cuts hair. For example, the hair is dyed at the same time as the cut. The cutting unit also adds a treatment function to the robot to change the hair texture. For example, the hair is treated at the same time as the cut. The cutting unit also develops a system in which the cutting unit adds a dyeing or treatment function to change the hair color or texture when the robot cuts hair. For example, a program is incorporated that dyes or treats the hair at the same time as the cut. This makes it possible to add a dyeing or treatment function to change the hair color or texture.
[0040] The cutting unit can adjust the hair length or style in millimeters based on instructions analyzed by the generative AI. For example, the cutting unit will build a system in which the robot adjusts the hair length and style in millimeters based on instructions analyzed by the generative AI. For example, it will cut the hair length in millimeters as instructed by the user. Furthermore, when the robot cuts, the cutting unit will adjust the hair length and style in millimeters based on instructions analyzed by the generative AI. For example, it will adjust the hair on top in millimeters before cutting. Furthermore, the cutting unit will develop a system in which the robot adjusts the hair length and style in millimeters based on instructions analyzed by the generative AI. For example, it will adjust the hair on the sides in millimeters before cutting. This allows the hair length and style to be adjusted in millimeters based on instructions analyzed by the generative AI.
[0041] The cutting unit 3D scans the shape of the user's head, and the generation AI calculates the optimal cut line. For example, when the robot cuts, the cutting unit 3D scans the shape of the user's head, and the generation AI calculates the optimal cut line. For example, the cutting unit calculates a cut line that matches the head shape. The cutting unit also 3D scans the shape of the user's head, and the generation AI calculates the optimal cut line. For example, the cut line is adjusted based on the head shape. The cutting unit also develops a system when the robot cuts, 3D scans the shape of the user's head, and the generation AI calculates the optimal cut line. For example, the cut line is calculated in real time to match the head shape. This allows the shape of the user's head to be 3D scanned, and the generation AI to calculate the optimal cut line.
[0042] The cutting unit can simulate hair length or style in real time based on instructions analyzed by the generation AI, allowing the user to check it. For example, the cutting unit builds a system that simulates hair length and style in real time when the robot cuts hair based on instructions analyzed by the generation AI. For example, it displays the simulation results before cutting. Furthermore, the cutting unit simulates hair length and style in real time based on instructions analyzed by the generation AI when the robot cuts hair, allowing the user to check it. For example, it displays an image of the hair after cutting on a screen. Furthermore, the cutting unit develops a system that simulates hair length and style in real time when the robot cuts hair based on instructions analyzed by the generation AI. For example, it displays the simulation results in virtual reality. This allows hair length and style to be simulated in real time based on instructions analyzed by the generation AI, allowing the user to check it.
[0043] The cutting unit records the hair length or style and can refer to it the next time it cuts. For example, the cutting unit will build a system that records the hair length and style when the robot cuts. For example, the details of the cut will be saved in a database. The cutting unit will also record the hair length and style and refer to it the next time it cuts. For example, the next cut will be based on the data from the previous cut. Also, a system will be developed where the cutting unit records the hair length and style when the robot cuts and can refer to it the next time it cuts. For example, the cut data will be saved in the cloud and accessed the next time it cuts. This will allow the hair length and style to be recorded and referred to the next time it cuts.
[0044] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0045] The dialogue unit accepts instructions from a user. For example, it can accept voice instructions. The dialogue unit can also accept touch panel input. The dialogue unit can also accept gesture input. The analysis unit analyzes the instructions accepted by the dialogue unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes voice instructions using voice recognition technology. The analysis unit can also analyze the instruction content using natural language processing technology. The analysis unit can also analyze gesture input using image recognition technology. The cutting unit cuts hair based on the instructions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the cutting unit cuts hair to a specified length. The cutting unit can also cut hair in a specified style. The cutting unit can also automatically select a tool to use and cut hair. This makes it possible to cut hair based on user instructions.
[0046] The dialogue unit learns the user's past haircut history and can predict and suggest the user's preferred style. For example, the generation AI learns data on hairstyles the user has chosen in the past and predicts and suggests the user's preferred style based on that data at the time of the next haircut. For example, if a user has previously preferred short hair, the latest short hair style will be suggested. The dialogue unit also analyzes trends based on the user's past haircut history and suggests the latest style that suits the user's preferences. For example, suggestions that reflect current trends are made based on styles that were popular in the past. The dialogue unit also learns the user's past haircut history and the generation AI suggests styles according to the season or event. For example, it suggests cool short styles in the summer and voluminous styles in the winter. This makes it possible to predict and suggest the user's preferred style.
[0047] The dialogue unit can scan the user's face shape or hair type with a camera and suggest the optimal haircut style. For example, the user's face shape and hair type can be scanned with a camera, and the generation AI can suggest the optimal haircut style based on that data. For example, a style that makes a user with a round face appear thinner can be suggested. The dialogue unit can also analyze the hair type data scanned with the camera, and the generation AI can suggest a haircut style based on the damage and volume of the hair. For example, a style that adds volume can be suggested for a user with thin hair with little volume. The dialogue unit can also scan the user's face shape and hair type, and the generation AI can suggest trendy styles based on that data. For example, the generation AI can suggest the latest hairstyles that suit the face shape. This makes it possible to suggest the optimal haircut style based on the user's face shape and hair type.
[0048] Based on the style selected by the user, the dialogue unit can make suggestions for fashion and makeup that suit that style. For example, based on the hairstyle selected by the user, the dialogue unit can make suggestions for fashion items that suit that style. For example, it can suggest casual clothing that goes well with short hair. Based on the hairstyle selected by the user, the dialogue unit can make suggestions for makeup that suits that style. For example, it can suggest natural makeup that goes well with a bob cut. Based on the hairstyle selected by the user, the dialogue unit can make suggestions for accessories that suit that style. For example, it can suggest earrings and necklaces that go well with long hair. This makes it possible to make suggestions for fashion and makeup that suit the style selected by the user.
[0049] The dialogue unit develops a multi-user compatible generative AI that multiple users can interact with simultaneously, allowing them to enjoy a haircut together with family and friends. For example, the dialogue unit develops a generative AI that multiple users can interact with simultaneously, building a system for enjoying a haircut together with family and friends. For example, it allows all family members to give haircut instructions at the same time. The dialogue unit also uses a multi-user compatible generative AI to develop a system for friends to enjoy a haircut together at the same time. For example, friends can enjoy conversations while getting their haircut in the same room. The dialogue unit also develops a generative AI that multiple users can interact with simultaneously, and organizes an event where family and friends can enjoy a haircut together. For example, it plans an event where all family members get a haircut together. This allows multiple users to interact simultaneously, allowing them to enjoy a haircut together with family and friends.
[0050] The analysis unit can translate user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, a system is constructed in which a generation AI translates user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, instructions in Japanese are translated into English for understanding. The analysis unit also translates user instructions in real time, making it possible for the generation AI to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, instructions in English are translated into Spanish for understanding. The analysis unit also develops a system in which a generation AI translates user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages. For example, instructions in Chinese are translated into French for understanding. This makes it possible to translate user instructions in real time, making it possible to accommodate users who speak different languages.
[0051] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0052] Step 1: The dialogue unit accepts user instructions, such as voice instructions, touch panel input, and gesture input. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the instructions received by the dialogue unit. For example, the analysis unit can analyze voice instructions using voice recognition technology, analyze the instruction content using natural language processing technology, and analyze gesture input using image recognition technology. Step 3: The cutting unit cuts the hair based on the instructions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it can cut the hair to a specified length and style and automatically select the tools to use to cut the hair.
[0053] (Example 2) The automatic haircutting system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that accurately cuts a user's desired hairstyle. This system allows the user to communicate with AI about the length and style of the cut, and the robot cuts the hair while sucking it up based on the user's instructions, thereby achieving a fast and accurate haircut.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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).
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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."
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.

[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
