[0096] The calendar integration unit can suggest healthy eating schedules that take into account the user's meal times and nutritional balance. For example, the generation AI can analyze the user's eating history and suggest balanced meals. It can also suggest healthy meals that are easy to prepare when the user is busy. It can also suggest appropriate recipes and ingredients by taking into account the user's food preferences and allergy information. This makes it possible to suggest eating schedules based on the user's health condition.

[0097] The calendar integration unit can analyze the user's sleep patterns and suggest a schedule to ensure optimal sleep time. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's sleep data and suggests going to bed earlier if they are not getting enough sleep. Also, if the user tends to stay up late, it can send a reminder to encourage them to go to bed earlier. Furthermore, it can provide advice on creating a relaxing environment to improve the quality of the user's sleep. This makes it possible to suggest an optimal sleep schedule based on the user's sleep patterns.

[0098] The calendar linkage unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state and suggest a schedule to improve motivation. For example, if the generation AI analyzes the user's emotional state and determines that motivation is declining, it will suggest encouraging messages and activities to increase motivation. It also maintains motivation by incorporating tasks into the schedule that are likely to give the user a sense of accomplishment. It also aims to improve motivation by suggesting refreshing activities during times when the user is able to relax. This makes it possible to suggest schedules to improve motivation based on the user's emotional state.

[0099] The calendar integration unit also integrates with the calendars of family and friends, making it possible to suggest schedules that take private plans into account. For example, the generation AI can integrate with the calendars of the user's family and friends to coordinate shared plans. For example, it can suggest weekend events that the whole family can attend. The calendar integration unit also adjusts the work schedule taking into account the user's private plans. For example, if there are plans to have dinner with friends, it can avoid important tasks before or after that time. The calendar integration unit also allows the generation AI to analyze the calendars of family and friends, find common free time, and suggest private plans. For example, it can suggest going to the movies at a time when all family members are free. This makes it possible to suggest schedules that take into account the plans of family and friends.

[0100] The calendar integration unit can obtain traffic information in real time and propose schedules that optimize travel time. For example, the generation AI obtains real-time traffic information and proposes a schedule that takes travel time into consideration. For example, it may suggest traveling during times when heavy traffic congestion is expected. The calendar integration unit also analyzes the user's travel route and proposes the optimal means of transportation. For example, it may suggest using a taxi or bicycle based on information about delays in public transportation. The calendar integration unit also adjusts the schedule to shorten travel time based on traffic information, allowing the generation AI to ensure ample travel time before an important meeting. This makes it possible to optimize travel time based on real-time traffic information.

[0101] The calendar linkage unit can use the emotion estimation function to set reminders for times when the user is most relaxed. For example, the emotion estimation function can be used to identify times when the user is relaxed and set reminders for those times. For example, if the user is relaxing in the evening, a reminder can be sent for that time. The calendar linkage unit also uses the generation AI to analyze the user's emotion data and set reminders for times when stress is low. For example, if the user is relaxing in the morning, a reminder for an important task can be sent for that time. The calendar linkage unit also uses the emotion estimation function to set reminders for times when the user is relaxed, thereby reducing stress. For example, a reminder for a break or refreshment can be sent for times when the user is relaxing. In this way, setting reminders for times when the user is relaxed reduces stress.

[0102] The schedule suggestion unit analyzes each participant's past meeting participation history and can propose the most efficient meeting time. For example, the generation AI analyzes each participant's meeting participation history over the past year and identifies time periods when participation rates are high. For example, the meeting is scheduled for a time period when it is easiest for everyone to attend. The schedule suggestion unit also proposes the optimal meeting time based on each participant's meeting participation history. For example, it identifies the day of the week and time period when participants are most likely to attend from past data. The schedule suggestion unit also analyzes each participant's meeting participation history and proposes meeting times that avoid time periods when participation rates are low. For example, the meeting is scheduled to avoid time periods when participants are busy. This makes it possible to propose efficient meeting times based on past meeting participation history.

[0103] The schedule proposal unit can consider the workload of each participant and propose a meeting time that maximizes work efficiency. For example, the generation AI analyzes the workload data of each participant and proposes a meeting time that maximizes work efficiency. For example, the meeting is scheduled to avoid times when work is concentrated. The schedule proposal unit also proposes the optimal meeting time based on the workload of each participant. For example, scheduling a meeting during times when work is light improves work efficiency. The schedule proposal unit also proposes the optimal meeting time based on the workload of each participant. For example, scheduling a meeting to avoid times when work overlaps. The schedule proposal unit also proposes the optimal meeting time based on the workload of each participant. For example, scheduling a meeting to avoid times when work overlaps.

[0104] The schedule proposal unit can use the emotion estimation function to schedule a meeting for a time period when all participants are most relaxed. For example, the emotion estimation function can be used to identify a time period when all participants are relaxed and schedule the meeting for that time period. For example, scheduling a meeting for a time period when all participants are relaxed improves the efficiency of the meeting. Furthermore, the schedule proposal unit uses the generation AI to analyze the emotion data of the participants and schedules the meeting for a time period when stress is low. For example, scheduling a meeting for a time period when participants are relaxed improves the atmosphere of the meeting. Furthermore, the schedule proposal unit uses the emotion estimation function to schedule a meeting for a time period when all participants are relaxed, thereby reducing stress. For example, scheduling a meeting for a time period when participants are relaxed improves the outcome of the meeting. As a result, scheduling a meeting for a time period when all participants are relaxed improves the efficiency of the meeting.

[0105] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0106] Step 1: The calendar integration unit integrates with a calendar and manages daily schedules. For example, it integrates with Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to obtain the user's schedule. Step 2: The schedule suggestion unit proposes a schedule that avoids overlapping appointments based on the schedule information obtained by the calendar linkage unit. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's schedule and proposes the optimal schedule. Step 3: The conference recording unit records the contents of the conference, for example, recording the audio and video during the conference and saving it as digital data. Step 4: The archive generating unit generates an archive video from the conference content recorded by the conference recording unit, for example, by editing the recorded data to create an archive video. Step 5: The transcription unit transcribes the meeting content from the archived video generated by the archive generation unit. For example, the transcription unit converts the meeting content into text data using voice recognition technology. Step 6: The minutes generation unit summarizes the meeting content transcribed by the transcription unit and automatically generates minutes. For example, the generation AI analyzes the meeting content, extracts important points, and creates minutes. Step 7: The time zone difference consideration unit selects the meeting time taking into account the time difference. For example, it considers the time zones of each participant and proposes a time slot that is convenient for everyone to participate. Step 8: The subtitle generator subtitles the conversation content and displays it. For example, it uses voice recognition technology to subtitle the conversation content in real time. Step 9: The translation unit translates the conversation into multiple languages. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation, translates it into different languages, and displays it.

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 also 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 perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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."

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.
