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 virtual interview system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses AI clones to realize efficient and fair interviews. This virtual interview system offers various benefits such as time reduction, elimination of blurring, and language support, allowing you to experience the future of communication.
[0029] A virtual interview system according to an embodiment includes an AI clone generation unit, a dialogue generation unit, and an evaluation unit. The AI clone generation unit generates an AI clone based on a user's profile and past dialogue data. For example, the AI clone generation unit generates an AI clone based on profile information such as the user's age, gender, occupation, and interests. The AI clone generation unit also analyzes past dialogue data (text data, voice data, dialogue history, etc.) to learn user characteristics. The dialogue generation unit generates a dialogue using the AI clone generated by the AI clone generation unit. For example, the dialogue generation unit uses a generation AI (e.g., a text generation AI or a multimodal generation AI) to generate a dialogue based on prompts including the purpose of the interview and questions. The dialogue generation unit also learns the voice, speaking style, facial expressions, etc. of the interviewee to realize a realistic dialogue. The evaluation unit evaluates the interviewee's responses based on the dialogue generated by the dialogue generation unit. For example, the evaluation unit evaluates the interviewee's responses based on predetermined evaluation criteria and provides feedback using consistent standards. The evaluation unit also uses the accuracy of answers, emotional expression, and conversational fluency as evaluation criteria. This allows the virtual interview system according to the embodiment to realize efficient and fair interviews. For example, there is no need to adjust interview schedules, and interviews can be conducted anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, the AI clone generates answers quickly, shortening the interview time. Furthermore, the AI clone can respond consistently without being affected by emotions or physical condition. This improves the quality of the interview, and allows the interviewee to feel as if they are conversing with a real person.
[0030] The dialogue generation unit can analyze the non-verbal behavior of the interviewee and generate dialogue content based on the non-verbal behavior. The dialogue generation unit, for example, analyzes the gestures of the interviewee and adjusts the dialogue content based on that information. For example, if the interviewee waves their hand, dialogue indicating a greeting or agreement is generated. The dialogue generation unit also tracks the interviewee's gaze and analyzes the direction and movement of their gaze. For example, if the interviewee is looking at a particular document, questions or comments related to that document are generated. The dialogue generation unit also infers the interviewee's intentions and emotions based on the non-verbal behavior data and conducts dialogue accordingly. For example, if the interviewer nods their head, dialogue indicating agreement is generated. This makes it possible to provide dialogue based on the interviewee's non-verbal behavior.
[0031] The dialogue generation unit can customize an individual dialogue style based on the interviewee's past dialogue data. The dialogue generation unit, for example, analyzes the interviewee's past dialogue data and customizes the individual dialogue style. For example, it generates a dialogue based on the interviewee's preferred topics and question formats. The dialogue generation unit also learns the interviewee's speaking style and expression based on the past dialogue data and conducts a dialogue that matches that. For example, it incorporates phrases and expressions that the interviewee frequently uses. The dialogue generation unit also references the interviewee's past dialogue history and generates questions and comments that take into account the content of previous dialogues. For example, it revisits topics that were discussed in the previous interview. This makes it possible to provide an individual dialogue style based on the interviewee's past dialogue data.
[0032] The system can also be applied to at least one other field of education or counseling. For example, in the field of education, the system introduces dialogue using an AI clone to support students' learning. For example, it provides questions and explanations tailored to each student's individual learning progress. In the field of counseling, the system utilizes an AI clone to engage in dialogue tailored to the client's emotions and concerns. For example, it provides stress relief and mental health support. In the field of medicine, the system introduces dialogue using an AI clone to support communication with patients. For example, it conducts pre-consultation interviews and health consultations. This allows the system to be applied to other fields such as education and counseling.
[0033] The system allows multiple AI clones to cooperate and converse, enabling it to handle more complex scenarios. For example, the system simulates a group discussion in which multiple AI clones cooperate, where AI clones with different perspectives and opinions engage in a debate. The system also allows multiple AI clones to work together to support complex problem-solving, where AI clones with different expertise cooperate to propose solutions. The system also allows multiple AI clones to cooperate in scenario-based training, where emergency response or business simulations are carried out, enabling it to handle more complex scenarios.
[0034] The system can analyze the progress of the interview in real time and suggest the most appropriate questions and answers. For example, the system monitors the progress of the interview in real time and suggests the next most appropriate question. For example, it generates related questions based on the interviewer's answers. The system also analyzes the progress of the interview and provides optimal feedback to the interviewer's answers in real time. For example, if the interviewer's answers are insufficient, it suggests supplementary questions. The system also evaluates the interviewer's level of understanding and interest based on the progress of the interview and generates questions and answers accordingly. For example, it asks questions related to topics in which the interviewer has shown interest. In this way, the system can analyze the progress of the interview in real time and suggest the most appropriate questions and answers.
[0035] The system can automatically summarize the contents of an interview so that it can be referenced later. For example, the system analyzes the contents of an interview in real time and automatically generates a summary. For example, it extracts important points and keywords to create a summary. The system can also analyze recorded data of an interview and automatically generate a text summary. For example, it can use speech recognition technology to convert the contents of the interview into text and create a summary. The system can also summarize the contents of the interview and save it in a database so that it can be referenced later. For example, it can save the summary data in a searchable format. This allows the contents of the interview to be automatically summarized and referenced later.
[0036] The system automatically adjusts interview schedules, enabling interviews to be conducted at optimal times. For example, the system analyzes the interviewee's schedule and automatically suggests the optimal timing for the interview. For example, it adjusts the interview date and time based on the interviewee's free time. The system also automatically adjusts interview schedules, allowing interviews to be conducted at optimal times that suit the interviewee's convenience. For example, it adjusts the schedule in cooperation with the interviewee's calendar. The system also automates interview schedule adjustments, reducing the burden on the interviewee. For example, it suggests the optimal schedule based on the interviewee's desired date and time. This allows the system to automatically adjust interview schedules, enabling interviews to be conducted at optimal times.
[0037] The system can also apply the efficiency of interviews to other business processes. For example, the system applies interview efficiency technology to meetings, analyzing the progress of a meeting in real time and suggesting the most appropriate agenda item and remarks. For example, the system suggests the next agenda item based on the progress of the meeting. The system also supports the efficiency of presentations. For example, the system analyzes the presenter's speaking style and content in real time and provides optimal advice. The system also applies efficiency technology to business processes in general, analyzing the progress of work in real time and making optimal suggestions. For example, the system suggests tasks based on the progress of a project. In this way, the efficiency of interviews can be applied to other business processes.
[0038] The system can automatically translate the contents of an interview to facilitate communication between participants who speak different languages. For example, the system can translate the contents of an interview in real time to support communication between participants who speak different languages. For example, it can perform automatic translation from English to Japanese. The system can also analyze recorded interview data and automatically generate text translations. For example, it can convert the contents of an interview into text and translate and provide it in different languages. The system can also display the contents of an interview in multiple languages in real time to enable participants who speak different languages to understand it simultaneously. For example, it can display subtitles and translate voice. This allows the system to automatically translate the contents of an interview to facilitate communication between participants who speak different languages.
[0039] The system can make the evaluation criteria for interviews transparent and share them with interviewers in advance. For example, the system shares the evaluation criteria for interviews with interviewers in advance to ensure transparency. For example, it provides a document that clearly states the evaluation items and criteria. The system also makes the evaluation criteria for interviews available online so that interviewers can check them in advance. For example, it posts the evaluation criteria on a website. The system also explains the evaluation criteria for interviews to interviewers and holds seminars and workshops to deepen their understanding. For example, it holds an explanatory meeting on the evaluation criteria. In this way, the evaluation criteria for interviews can be made transparent and shared with interviewers in advance.
[0040] The system can automatically record the results of interviews so that they can be verified later. For example, the system automatically records and films the contents of interviews and stores them in a database so that they can be verified later. For example, the audio and video of the interviews are stored in the cloud. The system can also automatically generate the results of interviews as text data so that they can be referenced later. For example, the system can convert the contents of the interviews into text using voice recognition technology and store the text in a database. The system can also automatically record the evaluation results of the interviews so that they can be verified later. For example, the system can automatically perform scoring based on evaluation criteria and save the results. In this way, the results of the interviews can be automatically recorded and verified later.
[0041] The system can provide fair evaluations while maintaining the anonymity of interviewees. For example, the system anonymizes the personal information of interviewees, allowing evaluators to evaluate without bias. For example, evaluations are made while concealing the interviewee's name and gender. The system also provides fair evaluations based on evaluation criteria while maintaining the anonymity of interviewees. For example, evaluations are made based only on the content of the interviewee's responses. To ensure the anonymity of interviewees, the system also conducts interviews in a format where the evaluator and interviewer do not meet face-to-face. For example, the interview is conducted via online text chat. This allows for fair evaluations while maintaining the anonymity of interviewees.
[0042] The system can also apply fair evaluation criteria to other evaluation processes. For example, the system applies fair evaluation criteria for interviews to performance reviews, thereby evaluating employees using consistent standards. For example, it standardizes evaluation items and criteria. The system also applies fair evaluation criteria to recruitment processes, thereby evaluating candidates using consistent standards. For example, it standardizes evaluation criteria for interviews and exams. The system also applies fair evaluation criteria to evaluation processes at educational institutions, thereby evaluating students using consistent standards. For example, it standardizes evaluation criteria for exams and assignments. This allows fair evaluation criteria to be applied to other evaluation processes.
[0043] The system can integrate the interview evaluation results with other data to perform a comprehensive evaluation. For example, the system can integrate the interview evaluation results with performance data to perform a comprehensive evaluation. For example, the system can combine the interview evaluation score and performance data to perform a comprehensive evaluation. The system can also integrate the interview evaluation results with other performance data to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the employee. For example, the system can combine project results and team evaluations to perform an evaluation. The system can also integrate the interview evaluation results with academic performance data from an educational institution to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the student. For example, the system can combine test scores and extracurricular activity evaluations to perform an overall evaluation. In this way, the system can integrate the interview evaluation results with other data to perform a comprehensive evaluation.
[0044] The system can automatically adjust the progress of the interview to keep the pace steady. For example, the system analyzes the progress of the interview in real time and makes adjustments to keep the pace steady. For example, it suggests the next question based on the interviewer's response time. The system also automatically adjusts the progress of the interview to keep the pace steady for the interviewer. For example, it adjusts the timing of questions based on the interviewer's response. The system also monitors the progress of the interview and provides feedback in real time to keep the pace steady. For example, if the interviewer is speaking too quickly, it suggests that the interviewer speak more slowly. In this way, the system automatically adjusts the progress of the interview to keep the pace steady.
[0045] The system can simulate the content of an interview in advance and select the optimal scenario. For example, the system simulates the content of an interview in advance and selects the optimal scenario. For example, a scenario is generated based on the profile of the interviewee. The system also simulates an interview and predicts the interviewee's reaction to select the optimal scenario. For example, the system adjusts the scenario based on past interview data. The system also simulates interview scenarios in advance and selects the optimal scenario based on the interviewee's level of understanding and interest. For example, the system prioritizes topics that the interviewee is interested in. In this way, the system simulates the content of the interview in advance and selects the optimal scenario.
[0046] The system can also apply the elimination of inconsistencies to other communication processes. For example, the system applies the elimination of inconsistencies to negotiations, analyzing the progress of the negotiations in real time and making optimal proposals. For example, the system generates the next proposal according to the progress of the negotiations. The system also analyzes the progress in real time and suggests optimal remarks to eliminate inconsistencies in discussions. For example, the system provides feedback in accordance with the progress of the discussion. The system also applies the elimination of inconsistencies to other communication processes in general, analyzing the progress in real time and making optimal proposals. For example, the system suggests tasks according to the progress of a project. This allows the elimination of inconsistencies to be applied to other communication processes.
[0047] The system can visualize the progress of the interview and make adjustments in real time. For example, the system visualizes the progress of the interview in real time, allowing the interviewer to understand the progress. For example, the progress may be displayed in a graph or chart. The system also visualizes the progress of the interview and allows the interviewer to adjust the progress. For example, the system suggests the next question or answer depending on the progress. The system also monitors the progress of the interview in real time and provides feedback to adjust the progress. For example, if the interviewer is falling behind, the system suggests that the interviewer speed up. In this way, the progress of the interview is visualized and adjustments may be made in real time.
[0048] The system can translate the contents of an interview in real time, facilitating communication between participants who speak different languages. For example, the system can translate the contents of an interview in real time, supporting communication between participants who speak different languages. For example, it can perform automatic translation from English to Japanese. The system can also analyze recorded interview data and automatically generate text translations. For example, it can convert the contents of an interview into text and provide it translated into different languages. The system can also display the contents of an interview in multiple languages in real time, allowing participants who speak different languages to understand it simultaneously. For example, it can display subtitles and translate voice. This allows the system to translate the contents of an interview in real time, facilitating communication between participants who speak different languages.
[0049] The system can record interview content in multiple languages so that it can be referenced later. For example, the system records interview content in multiple languages so that it can be referenced later. For example, the system records interview content in English, Japanese, Chinese, etc. The system also converts recorded interview data into text in multiple languages so that it can be referenced later. For example, the system converts interview content into text, translates it into different languages, and saves it. The system also records interview content in multiple languages and saves it in a searchable format. For example, the system tags interview content in multiple languages so that it can be searched. This allows interview content to be recorded in multiple languages so that it can be referenced later.
[0050] The system supports the progress of an interview in multiple languages, enabling communication that transcends language barriers. The system, for example, supports the progress of an interview in multiple languages, enabling communication that transcends language barriers. For example, it displays the progress of the interview in multiple languages. The system also supports the progress of an interview in multiple languages, allowing participants who speak different languages to understand at the same time. For example, it translates and displays interview questions and answers in real time. The system also supports the progress of an interview in multiple languages, enabling participants to communicate in their own language. For example, it performs voice translation and displays subtitles. In this way, the system supports the progress of an interview in multiple languages, enabling communication that transcends language barriers.
[0051] The system can also apply multilingual support to other communication processes. For example, the system applies multilingual support technology to international conferences, allowing participants to communicate in different languages. For example, the system translates and displays the content of the conference in real time. The system also supports multilingual support for webinars, allowing participants to understand the content in their own language. The system also applies multilingual support technology to other communication processes in general, allowing participants of different languages to understand at the same time. For example, the content of a presentation can be displayed in multiple languages. This allows multilingual support to be applied to other communication processes.
[0052] The system can automatically summarize the contents of an interview and provide it in different languages. For example, the system automatically summarizes the contents of an interview and provides it in different languages. For example, the system summarizes the contents of the interview and displays it in English, Japanese, Chinese, etc. The system also analyzes recorded data of the interview, automatically generates summaries, and translates them into different languages. For example, the system converts the contents of the interview into text and provides the summaries in multiple languages. The system also automatically summarizes the contents of the interview and saves them in a searchable format in different languages. For example, the system tags the summary data in multiple languages and makes it searchable. This allows the system to automatically summarize the contents of the interview and provide it in different languages.
[0053] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0054] The system can analyze the nonverbal behavior of the interviewee and generate dialogue content based on that nonverbal behavior. For example, if the interviewee waves their hand, dialogue indicating a greeting or agreement can be generated. If the interviewee is looking at a specific document, questions or comments related to that document can be generated. Furthermore, if the interviewer nods their head, dialogue indicating agreement can be generated. This makes it possible to provide dialogue based on the interviewee's nonverbal behavior.
[0055] The system can customize individual conversation styles based on the interviewee's past conversation data. For example, it generates conversations based on the interviewee's preferred topics and question formats. It also learns the interviewee's speaking style and expression and conducts conversations that match those. It also references the interviewee's past conversation history and generates questions and comments that take into account the content of previous conversations. This makes it possible to provide an individual conversation style based on the interviewee's past conversation data.
[0056] The system can also be applied to at least one other field of education or counseling. For example, in the field of education, dialogue using an AI clone can be introduced to support students' learning. For example, questions and explanations tailored to each individual's learning progress can be provided. In the field of counseling, an AI clone can be used to engage in dialogue tailored to the client's emotions and concerns. For example, stress reduction and mental health support can be provided. Furthermore, in the field of medicine, dialogue using an AI clone can be introduced to support communication with patients. For example, pre-examination interviews and health consultations can be conducted. This allows the system to be applied to other fields such as education and counseling.
[0057] The system can handle more complex scenarios by having multiple AI clones cooperate and converse. For example, multiple AI clones can cooperate to simulate a group discussion, where AI clones with different perspectives and opinions engage in a debate. Multiple AI clones can also work together to assist in solving complex problems, where AI clones with different expertise collaborate to propose solutions. Furthermore, multiple AI clones can cooperate to conduct scenario-based training, where emergency response or business simulations are carried out. This allows multiple AI clones to cooperate and converse to handle more complex scenarios.
[0058] The system can analyze the progress of the interview in real time and suggest the most appropriate questions and answers. For example, it generates related questions based on the interviewer's answers. It can also analyze the progress of the interview and provide optimal feedback to the interviewer's answers in real time. For example, if the interviewer's answers are insufficient, it can suggest supplementary questions. Furthermore, it evaluates the interviewer's level of understanding and interest based on the progress of the interview and generates questions and answers accordingly. For example, it asks questions related to topics that the interviewer has shown interest in. This allows the system to analyze the progress of the interview in real time and suggest the most appropriate questions and answers.
[0059] The system can automatically summarize the contents of an interview for later reference. For example, the system may analyze the contents of an interview in real time and automatically generate a summary. For example, it may extract important points and keywords to create a summary. It may also analyze recorded interview data and automatically generate a text summary. For example, it may use speech recognition technology to convert the interview contents into text and create a summary. It may also summarize the interview contents and save it in a database for later reference. For example, it may save the summary data in a searchable format. This allows the contents of an interview to be automatically summarized and referenced later.

[0061] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0062] Step 1: The AI clone generator generates an AI clone based on the user's profile and past dialogue data. For example, it generates an AI clone based on profile information such as the user's age, gender, occupation, and interests, and analyzes past dialogue data (text data, voice data, dialogue history, etc.) to learn the user's characteristics. Step 2: The dialogue generation unit generates dialogue using the AI clone generated by the AI clone generation unit. For example, it uses a generation AI (text generation AI or multimodal generation AI) to generate dialogue based on prompts including the purpose of the interview and the questions, and learns the voice, speaking style, facial expressions, etc. of the interviewee to realize a realistic dialogue. Step 3: The evaluation unit evaluates the interviewee's answers based on the dialogue generated by the dialogue generation unit. For example, the evaluation unit evaluates the interviewee's answers based on pre-defined evaluation criteria and provides consistent feedback. Evaluation criteria include the accuracy of the answers, the expression of emotions, and the fluency of the dialogue.
[0063] (Example 2) The virtual interview system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses AI clones to realize efficient and fair interviews. This virtual interview system offers various benefits such as time reduction, elimination of blurring, and language support, allowing you to experience the future of communication.
[0064] A virtual interview system according to an embodiment includes an AI clone generation unit, a dialogue generation unit, and an evaluation unit. The AI clone generation unit generates an AI clone based on a user's profile and past dialogue data. For example, the AI clone generation unit generates an AI clone based on profile information such as the user's age, gender, occupation, and interests. The AI clone generation unit also analyzes past dialogue data (text data, voice data, dialogue history, etc.) to learn user characteristics. The dialogue generation unit generates a dialogue using the AI clone generated by the AI clone generation unit. For example, the dialogue generation unit uses a generation AI (e.g., a text generation AI or a multimodal generation AI) to generate a dialogue based on prompts including the purpose of the interview and questions. The dialogue generation unit also learns the voice, speaking style, facial expressions, etc. of the interviewee to realize a realistic dialogue. The evaluation unit evaluates the interviewee's responses based on the dialogue generated by the dialogue generation unit. For example, the evaluation unit evaluates the interviewee's responses based on predetermined evaluation criteria and provides feedback using consistent standards. The evaluation unit also uses the accuracy of answers, emotional expression, and conversational fluency as evaluation criteria. This allows the virtual interview system according to the embodiment to realize efficient and fair interviews. For example, there is no need to adjust interview schedules, and interviews can be conducted anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, the AI clone generates answers quickly, shortening the interview time. Furthermore, the AI clone can respond consistently without being affected by emotions or physical condition. This improves the quality of the interview, and allows the interviewee to feel as if they are conversing with a real person.
[0065] The dialogue generation unit can estimate the emotions of the interviewee in real time and generate dialogue content according to the emotions. The dialogue generation unit, for example, analyzes the facial expressions and tone of voice of the interviewee to estimate the emotions in real time. For example, if the interviewee is nervous, it generates questions and comments to relax the interviewee. The dialogue generation unit also adjusts the tone and content of the dialogue according to the emotional state of the interviewee. For example, if the interviewee is excited, it generates dialogue in a calm tone to respond calmly. The dialogue generation unit also provides feedback that matches the emotions of the interviewee based on the emotion estimation data.

[0109] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. 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 specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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).
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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."
[0163] 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.

[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
