[0035] The suggestion unit can collect behavioral history and search history with the user's consent and establish an appropriate privacy policy. The suggestion unit, for example, collects behavioral history and search history with the user's consent. For example, the suggestion unit collects behavioral history and search history only if the user consents. The suggestion unit can also establish an appropriate privacy policy. For example, the suggestion unit can establish a privacy policy that properly manages user data and clearly states that the data will not be provided to third parties. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can anonymize user data so that individuals cannot be identified. This makes it possible to collect behavioral history and search history while protecting the user's privacy.

[0036] The suggestion unit can adopt an intuitive and easy-to-use design to enable the user to operate it easily. The suggestion unit, for example, adopts an intuitive and easy-to-use design. For example, the suggestion unit designs the user interface to be simple and easy to understand. The suggestion unit can also minimize operation steps to enable the user to operate it easily. For example, the suggestion unit provides a simple interface when the user inputs a destination, minimizing the input steps. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can provide various input methods, such as voice input and gesture input. As a result, by adopting an intuitive and easy-to-use design, the user can operate it easily.

[0037] When a destination is input, the reception unit can present input candidates by referring to the user's past input history. For example, the reception unit automatically displays destinations that the user has frequently input in the past as candidates. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and suggest destinations to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's past input history and presents the most relevant input candidates. In this way, appropriate input candidates can be presented to the user by referring to the past input history.

[0038] The reception unit can present optimal input candidates taking into account the user's current location information when the user inputs a destination. For example, when the user opens the app, the reception unit automatically acquires the user's current location and sets it as the starting point. For example, when the user inputs a destination, the reception unit proposes optimal candidate locations taking into account the distance from the user's current location. Furthermore, when the user uses the app while on the move, the reception unit can also update the user's current location in real time and reflect it as the starting point. For example, the reception unit presents optimal input candidates based on the user's current location information. In this way, optimal input candidates can be presented to the user by taking into account the current location information.

[0039] The reception unit can provide multiple input methods, such as voice input or gesture input, when inputting a destination. For example, the reception unit can automatically set the starting point and destination when the user simply voice-inputs "from home to the station." For example, the reception unit can easily set the starting point and destination by the user performing a specific gesture on the smartphone screen. The reception unit can also combine voice input and gesture input to set the starting point and destination more intuitively. For example, the reception unit can allow the user to input the destination using voice input and set the starting point using gesture input. This allows the user to input a destination more intuitively by providing a variety of input methods.

[0040] When a destination is input, the reception unit can suggest related destinations by referring to the user's past travel history. The reception unit can suggest related destinations, for example, based on tourist spots that the user has visited in the past.

[0124] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0125] The suggestion unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of suggestions based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion unit can suggest relaxing tourist spots and restaurants. If the user is excited, the suggestion unit can suggest active activities and events. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the suggestion unit can suggest quiet accommodations and relaxation spots. This makes it possible to provide a more personalized travel experience by making suggestions based on the user's emotions.

[0126] The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the behavioral history collection method based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a detailed behavioral history can be collected. Also, if the user is feeling stressed, only important behavioral history can be collected. Furthermore, if the user is excited, a behavioral history can be collected in real time. This makes it possible to collect behavioral history according to the user's emotions, and provides more accurate data.

[0127] The analysis unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, a simple, highly visible display method can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a display method including detailed information can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a display method that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, by providing a display method that corresponds to the user's emotions, more appropriate analysis results can be provided.

[0128] The guidance unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the guidance is presented based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, guidance that proceeds at a leisurely pace can be provided. If the user is in a hurry, guidance that emphasizes the shortest route can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is excited, guidance that adds visually stimulating effects can be provided. In this way, more appropriate guidance can be provided by providing a guidance method that corresponds to the user's emotions.

[0129] The suggestion unit can also estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of suggestions based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed suggestions can be provided preferentially. Also, if the user is stressed, only important suggestions can be provided preferentially. Furthermore, if the user is excited, visually stimulating suggestions can be provided preferentially. In this way, by determining the priority of suggestions according to the user's emotions, more important suggestions can be provided preferentially.

[0130] The suggestion unit can also provide real-time information on nearby tourist spots, restaurants, and accommodations based on the user's current location information. For example, if the user is at a specific tourist spot, the suggestion unit can suggest recommended spots in the area. If the user is looking for a restaurant, the suggestion unit can suggest restaurants close to the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is looking for accommodation, the suggestion unit can suggest accommodations that are easily accessible from the user's current location. This makes it possible to provide more convenient information by making suggestions that take the user's current location information into consideration.

[0131] The collection unit can also analyze the user's social media activities and collect related behavioral history. For example, the collection unit can collect behavioral history related to the places where the user checked in on social media. The collection unit can also analyze the content of the user's posts on social media and collect related behavioral history.

It can also identify interests based on data on restaurants the user has searched for in the past. It can also perform analysis that reflects the user's current interests in real time. This allows for more appropriate suggestions to be made by identifying the user's interests based on past behavioral data.

[0133] The suggestion unit can also make suggestions by taking into consideration the user's attribute information (age, gender, occupation, etc.). For example, the most suitable tourist spot can be suggested based on the user's age information. The most suitable restaurant can also be suggested based on the user's gender information. Furthermore, the most suitable accommodation can also be suggested based on the user's occupation information. In this way, by taking attribute information into consideration, more appropriate suggestions can be provided.

[0134] The guidance unit can also analyze the user's driving style and provide the optimal guidance method.

Alternatively, if the user prioritizes speed, guidance that emphasizes the shortest route can be provided. Furthermore, the guidance unit can analyze the user's driving style and suggest the optimal guidance method. In this way, by analyzing the user's driving style, a more appropriate guidance method can be provided.

[0135] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0136] Step 1: The reception unit accepts the user's input of a destination. For example, the user inputs the destination on the screen of a smartphone. The reception unit can also input the destination using voice input. For example, the user can simply input "from home to the station" by voice, and the starting point and destination are automatically set. The reception unit can also input the destination using gesture input. For example, the user can easily set the starting point and destination by making a specific gesture on the screen of a smartphone. Step 2: The guidance unit calculates the optimal route based on the information received by the reception unit and provides route guidance. For example, the guidance unit calculates the optimal route based on real-time traffic congestion information. The guidance unit can also calculate the optimal route taking into account the real-time operation status of public transportation. Furthermore, the guidance unit can also calculate a detour route based on real-time road construction information. Step 3: The collection unit collects the user's past behavior or search history. For example, the collection unit collects the user's behavior history using GPS data from the smartphone. The collection unit can also collect the behavior history using the user's search history. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect the behavior history by analyzing the user's social media activity. Step 4: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and identifies the user's interests. For example, the analysis unit identifies the user's interests based on information about tourist spots visited in the past or restaurants searched for. The analysis unit can also perform analysis that reflects the user's current interests in real time. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also perform analysis taking into account the user's attribute information (age, gender, occupation, etc.). Step 5: The suggestion unit suggests optimal tourist spots, restaurants, and accommodations based on the interests identified by the analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit obtains the latest information on tourist spots, restaurants, and accommodations from online databases and affiliated tourist information sites. The suggestion unit may also collect user behavior and search history with the user's consent and establish an appropriate privacy policy. Furthermore, the suggestion unit employs an intuitive and user-friendly design to make it easy for users to operate.

[0137] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0138] 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. 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.

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.

[0173] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0174] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0175] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

[0176] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0177] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0178] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0179] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0180] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0181] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0182] 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 processing 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.

Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0184] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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 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 AI 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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).

[0194] 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 "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[0195] 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."

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.
