[0028] (Example 1) A learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes a learner's learning history and interests, provides learning content and questions customized by a generation AI, monitors the learner's level of understanding and progress, and provides advice on strengthening weak areas, etc. As a result, the learning support system can provide optimal individual learning support to learners, enabling them to learn efficiently and according to their level of understanding.
[0029] A learning support system according to an embodiment includes a learning history analysis unit, a customized content generation unit, a comprehension monitoring unit, and an advice providing unit. The learning history analysis unit analyzes a learner's learning history and interests. For example, the learning history analysis unit analyzes the problems the learner has previously worked on and the content of their studies. The learning history analysis unit can also identify the learner's areas of interest. For example, if a learner is good at mathematics and interested in history, the learning history analysis unit performs analysis based on this information. The customized content generation unit generates learning content based on the results of the analysis by the learning history analysis unit. For example, the customized content generation unit generates problems of a difficulty level according to the learner's level of comprehension. The customized content generation unit can also provide learning materials related to topics of interest. For example, when a user inputs a prompt such as "I want to solve an applied math problem," the customized content generation unit generates an appropriate applied problem. The comprehension monitoring unit provides the learning content generated by the customized content generation unit and monitors the learner's level of comprehension and progress. For example, the comprehension monitoring unit analyzes the correct answer rate for problems solved by the learner. The comprehension monitoring unit can also analyze the time spent studying. For example, the comprehension monitoring unit evaluates the learner's level of comprehension based on the learner's answer data and data related to the study time. The advice providing unit provides advice based on the results monitored by the comprehension monitoring unit. For example, if the learner's understanding in a specific field is lacking, the advice providing unit provides additional study content related to that field. The advice providing unit can also provide advice to strengthen the learner's weaknesses. For example, based on the evaluation result that "the learner's understanding of medieval Europe history is lacking," the advice providing unit provides additional study materials related to medieval Europe. In this way, the learning support system according to the embodiment can provide individually optimized learning support to the learner, enabling efficient learning according to the learner's level of comprehension.
[0030] The learning history analysis unit analyzes a learner's social media activity and online behavior history to identify interests with greater accuracy. For example, the learning history analysis unit analyzes a learner's social media activity to identify topics of interest and accounts they follow. For example, it analyzes Twitter and Instagram posts and follow lists to extract areas of interest to the learner. The learning history analysis unit also analyzes a learner's online behavior history to identify interests based on frequently visited websites and search history. For example, it analyzes Google search history and YouTube viewing history to extract topics of interest to the learner. The learning history analysis unit also integrates a learner's social media activity and online behavior history to identify overall interests. For example, it analyzes Facebook "likes" and comment history and Amazon purchase history to identify areas of interest to the learner. This allows for more accurate identification of a learner's interests.
[0031] The learning history analysis unit collects physiological data of the learner and can analyze the learner's concentration level and stress level during learning. The learning history analysis unit, for example, monitors the learner's heart rate in real time and analyzes the learner's concentration level and stress level. For example, based on heart rate fluctuations, it identifies times when the learner is concentrating and times when stress is high. The learning history analysis unit also collects the learner's brain wave data and analyzes the learner's concentration level and relaxation level. For example, it analyzes the alpha wave and beta wave patterns of the brain waves and suggests the optimal learning timing. The learning history analysis unit also integrates the learner's physiological data and evaluates the learner's overall concentration level and stress level. For example, it analyzes data such as heart rate, brain waves, and electrodermal activity and suggests the optimal learning timing for the learner. In this way, the learner's concentration level and stress level can be analyzed and the optimal learning timing can be suggested.
[0032] The customized content generation unit can provide learning content in an optimal format according to the learner's learning style. For example, the customized content generation unit analyzes the learner's learning style and provides video content to learners who prefer visual learning. For example, it provides animated videos that visually explain mathematical concepts. The customized content generation unit also analyzes the learner's learning style and provides audio content to learners who prefer auditory learning. For example, it provides podcasts that provide audio explanations of historical events. The customized content generation unit also analyzes the learner's learning style and provides interactive simulations to learners who prefer tactile learning. For example, it provides a simulation that allows them to virtually experience a science experiment. This makes it possible to provide learning content in an optimal format according to the learner's learning style.
[0033] The customized content generation unit can analyze a learner's past learning performance and suggest an optimal learning pace and timing for breaks. The customized content generation unit, for example, analyzes a learner's past learning performance and suggests an optimal learning pace. For example, it suggests a learning schedule based on the time periods when the learner can concentrate on studying and the length of study time. The customized content generation unit also analyzes a learner's past learning performance and suggests optimal timing for breaks. For example, it identifies when a learner feels tired and suggests that the learner take an appropriate break. The customized content generation unit also builds a system that dynamically adjusts the learning pace and timing for breaks based on the learner's learning performance data. For example, it monitors the learner's concentration and fatigue levels in real time and suggests an optimal learning pace. This makes it possible to suggest an optimal learning pace and timing for breaks based on the learner's past learning performance.
[0034] The comprehension monitoring unit can evaluate the learner's level of comprehension and concentration by analyzing facial expressions and voice tones during learning in addition to the learner's answer data. The comprehension monitoring unit, for example, analyzes facial expressions during learning in addition to the learner's answer data to evaluate the learner's level of comprehension and concentration. For example, a camera can be used to monitor the learner's facial expressions in real time to evaluate whether the learner is concentrating. The comprehension monitoring unit can also analyze the learner's voice tones during learning in addition to the learner's answer data to evaluate the learner's level of comprehension and concentration. For example, a microphone can be used to analyze the learner's voice tone to evaluate the learner's level of comprehension and concentration. The comprehension monitoring unit can also integrate the learner's answer data, facial expressions, and voice tones to build a system for comprehensively evaluating the learner's level of comprehension and concentration. For example, multiple data sources can be analyzed to evaluate the learner's level of comprehension and concentration in real time. This allows for more accurate evaluation of the learner's level of comprehension and concentration.
[0035] The advice providing unit can provide content for relearning related basic knowledge and prerequisites to strengthen the learner's weak points. The advice providing unit, for example, identifies the learner's weak points and provides content for relearning related basic knowledge. For example, it provides videos or problem sets for relearning basic concepts of mathematics. The advice providing unit also provides content for relearning prerequisite knowledge to strengthen the learner's weak points. For example, it provides materials for relearning basic knowledge about a specific historical period. The advice providing unit also builds a system that provides customized relearning content to strengthen the learner's weak points. For example, it automatically suggests content that needs to be re-studyed depending on the learner's level of understanding. This makes it possible to provide content for relearning basic knowledge and prerequisites to strengthen the learner's weak points.
[0036] The advice providing unit can reevaluate the learner's level of understanding of their weak points from different perspectives and approaches, and propose multifaceted reinforcement methods. For example, the advice providing unit reevaluates the learner's level of understanding of their weak points from different perspectives, and proposes multifaceted reinforcement methods. For example, it proposes a method of solving a math problem using a different method. The advice providing unit also reevaluates the learner's level of understanding of their weak points from different approaches, and proposes multifaceted reinforcement methods. For example, it proposes a method of learning about historical events from different perspectives. The advice providing unit also constructs a system that evaluates the learner's level of understanding of their weak points from multiple perspectives, and proposes the optimal reinforcement method. For example, it measures the learner's level of understanding using multiple evaluation criteria, and proposes reinforcement methods. This makes it possible to evaluate the learner's level of understanding of their weak points from multiple perspectives, and propose the optimal reinforcement method.
[0037] The advice providing unit can provide real-world problems and case studies related to the learner's weaknesses, thereby deepening practical understanding. The advice providing unit, for example, provides real-world problems related to the learner's weaknesses to deepen practical understanding. For example, by solving applied mathematical problems, the learner's actual problem-solving ability is improved. The advice providing unit also provides case studies related to the learner's weaknesses to deepen practical understanding. For example, by studying historical events as specific examples, understanding is deepened. The advice providing unit also builds a system that automatically searches for and provides real-world problems and case studies related to the learner's weaknesses. For example, the latest examples and problems related to the learner's weaknesses are provided in real time. This allows the learner to be provided with real-world problems and case studies related to their weaknesses, thereby deepening practical understanding.
[0038] The advice providing unit gamifies and provides reinforcement content for the learner's weak points, allowing the learner to advance their studies while having fun. For example, the advice providing unit gamifies and provides reinforcement content for the learner's weak points, allowing the learner to advance their studies while having fun. For example, the advice providing unit provides a game in which points can be earned by solving math problems. The advice providing unit also gamifies and provides reinforcement content for the learner's weak points, incorporating a competitive element. For example, the advice providing unit provides a game in which the learner can advance their studies while competing with other learners. The advice providing unit also gamifies and provides reinforcement content for the learner's weak points, incorporating a reward system. For example, the advice providing unit provides a game in which the learner can earn badges or titles by achieving specific goals. This allows the learner to advance their studies while having fun.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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).
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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."
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.

[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
