For example, the summarization unit can input the aggregation results into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to summarize the number of messages sent and received this year.

[0034] The summarization unit can summarize the main topics of the conversation so far based on the aggregation results. The summarization unit, for example, summarizes the main topics of the conversation so far based on the aggregation results. The main topics are extracted based on criteria such as topics with high frequency or topics with high importance. The summarization unit, for example, can visualize the main topics of the conversation so far as a graph or chart. The summarization unit can also compare the main topics of the conversation so far with other topics. In this way, by summarizing the main topics of the conversation so far, it is possible to understand long-term communication trends. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the summarization unit may input the aggregation results into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform a summary of the main topics of the conversation so far.

[0035] The collection unit can analyze the user's past conversation history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting data from messaging apps that the user uses frequently. Furthermore, if the user sends and receives many messages during a specific time period, the collection unit can also collect data during that time period. Furthermore, the collection unit can prioritize collecting conversation data with specific people from the user's past conversation history. This allows the optimal collection method to be selected by analyzing the past conversation history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's past conversation history into the generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal collection method.

[0036] When collecting conversation data, the collection unit can filter the conversation data based on the user's current areas of interest. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collection of conversation data related to topics that the user has recently been interested in. Furthermore, if the user has many conversations containing a specific keyword, the collection unit can also collect data related to that keyword. Furthermore, the collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect conversation data related to the user's areas of interest. This allows highly relevant data to be collected by filtering the data based on the user's areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's areas of interest into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform the filtering.

[0037] When collecting conversation data, the collection unit can select the optimal collection means depending on the user's input method. For example, if the user frequently uses voice messages, the collection unit can prioritize collecting voice data. Also, if the user frequently uses text messages, the collection unit can prioritize collecting text data. Also, if the user frequently sends images, the collection unit can prioritize collecting image data. This allows efficient data collection by selecting the optimal collection means depending on the user's input method. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's input method into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal collection means.

[0038] When collecting conversation data, the collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant data by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is in a specific location, the collection unit prioritizes collecting conversation data related to that location. Furthermore, when the user is traveling, the collection unit can prioritize collecting conversation data related to the travel destination. Furthermore, when the user is at home, the collection unit can prioritize collecting conversation data related to the home. In this way, highly relevant data can be collected preferentially by taking the user's geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, or without, the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's geographical location information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to collect highly relevant data.

For example, the summarization unit can apply a business summarization algorithm to a business-related conversation. The summarization unit can also apply a private summarization algorithm to a private conversation. The summarization unit can also apply a summarization algorithm optimal for a specific topic to a conversation related to that topic. In this way, by applying different summarization algorithms depending on the category of the conversation, more appropriate summaries can be provided. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI, for example. For example, the summarization unit can input the category of the conversation into the generation AI and have the generation AI apply the summarization algorithm.

[0093] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can improve the accuracy of the summary by referring to the user's past summarization results. The summarization unit, for example, adjusts the summarization algorithm based on the user's past summarization results. The summarization unit can also improve the accuracy of the summary based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The summarization unit can also analyze the user's past summarization results and suggest an optimal summarization method. In this way, the accuracy of the summary can be improved by referring to the user's past summarization results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed, for example, using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI.

Furthermore, for conversations related to a specific topic, the summarization unit can also prioritize summarization based on that topic. Furthermore, the summarization unit can prioritize summarization of conversations related to topics in which the user is interested. In this way, by adjusting the order of summaries based on the relevance of the conversations, highly relevant conversations can be prioritized for summarization. Some or all of the above-described processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the summarization unit can input the relevance of the conversations into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the order of summaries.

[0097] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the summary according to the user's level of expertise.

Alternatively, if the user does not have technical expertise, the summarization unit can provide a summary in simple language. The summarization unit can also adjust the way the summary is expressed according to the user's level of expertise. This allows the use of technical terms in the summary to be adjusted according to the user's level of expertise, thereby providing a summary that is easy for the user to understand. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the summarization unit can input the user's level of expertise into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the use of technical terms in the summary.

[0120] 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).

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.

[0167] 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.

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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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).

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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."

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
