[0137] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0138] The providing unit can estimate the child's emotions and adjust the way information is presented based on the estimated child's emotions. For example, if the child is relaxed, detailed information can be provided. If the child is stressed, concise, to-the-point information can be provided. If the child is excited, information with visually stimulating effects can be provided. This allows for more appropriate information to be provided by adjusting the way information is presented based on the child's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the providing unit can be performed using, for example, an AI, or can be performed without using an AI. For example, the providing unit can input the child's emotion data into an AI, which can then adjust the way information is presented.

[0139] The collection unit can analyze the child's past usage history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the collection unit can prioritize collecting the history of apps frequently used by the child. The collection unit can also analyze the history of apps used by the child during a specific time period and concentrate collection during that time period. The collection unit can also analyze the categories of apps used by the child in the past and collect history of apps in similar categories. In this way, by analyzing the child's past usage history, the optimal collection method can be selected and information can be collected efficiently. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the past usage history into AI, which can select the optimal collection method.

[0140] The analysis unit can estimate the child's emotions and adjust the way the analysis is presented based on the estimated child's emotions. For example, if the child is relaxed, a detailed analysis result can be provided. If the child is stressed, a concise and to-the-point analysis result can be provided. If the child is excited, a visually stimulating analysis result can be provided. This allows for more appropriate analysis results to be provided by adjusting the way the analysis is presented based on the child's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, for example, an AI, or without an AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the child's emotion data into an AI, which can then adjust the way the analysis is presented.

[0141] The identification unit can improve the accuracy of identification by taking into account the interrelationships between websites during identification. For example, the identification unit can analyze the link relationships between websites to identify highly related sites. The identification unit can also refer to the domain information of websites to preferentially identify highly reliable sites. The identification unit can also analyze the interrelationships between website content to improve the accuracy of identification. In this way, the accuracy of identification can be improved by taking into account the interrelationships between websites. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the identification unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the identification unit can input the link relationships and domain information of websites into AI, which can improve the accuracy of identification.

[0142] The blocking unit can estimate the child's emotions and adjust the blocking method based on the estimated child's emotions. For example, if the child is stressed, a strict blocking method can be applied. If the child is relaxed, a normal blocking method can be applied. If the child is excited, entertainment sites can be allowed. By adjusting the blocking method according to the child's emotions, more appropriate blocking can be performed. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the blocking unit can be performed using an AI, for example, or without an AI. For example, the blocking unit can input the child's emotion data into an AI, which can then adjust the blocking method.

[0143] When collecting usage history, the collection unit can filter the usage history based on the child's current interests. For example, the collection unit can collect only the history of apps related to topics that the child is currently interested in. The collection unit can also filter the history of related apps based on keywords recently searched by the child. The collection unit can also collect usage history based on topics of online communities in which the child participates. This makes it possible to collect highly relevant information by filtering based on the child's current interests. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the collection unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the collection unit can input data related to the child's current interests into AI, which then performs the filtering.

[0144] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the usage history. For example, an algorithm that evaluates learning effectiveness can be applied to the usage history of educational apps. The analysis unit can also apply an algorithm that evaluates enjoyment to the usage history of entertainment apps. The analysis unit can also apply an algorithm that evaluates the quality of communication to the usage history of social media. In this way, by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the usage history, more accurate analysis results can be obtained. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the category of the usage history into AI, and the AI ​​can apply different analysis algorithms.

[0145] The providing unit can adjust the order of provision based on the relevance of the information when providing the information. For example, highly relevant information can be provided preferentially. The providing unit can also provide less relevant information later. The providing unit can also dynamically adjust the order of provision based on the relevance of the information. In this way, by adjusting the order of provision based on the relevance of the information, it is possible to provide information efficiently. Some or all of the above-described processing in the providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the relevance of the information to AI, and the AI ​​can adjust the order of provision.

[0146] The collection unit can estimate the child's emotions and prioritize the usage history to be collected based on the estimated child's emotions. For example, if the child is relaxed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting the usage history of educational apps. Furthermore, if the child is excited, the collection unit can prioritize collecting the usage history of entertainment apps. Furthermore, if the child is stressed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting the usage history of apps containing relaxing content. By prioritizing the usage history to be collected based on the child's emotions, more appropriate information can be collected. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit can be performed using, for example, an AI, or without an AI. For example, the collection unit can input the child's emotion data into an AI and prioritize the usage history to be collected by the AI.

[0147] During the identification, the identification unit can assign a specific weight based on the update frequency of the website. For example, the identification unit can prioritize the identification of frequently updated sites. The identification unit can also perform the identification by excluding sites that are updated infrequently. The identification unit can also assign a specific weight based on the update frequency to identify highly reliable sites. In this way, highly reliable sites can be identified by assigning a specific weight based on the update frequency of the website. Some or all of the above-described processing in the identification unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the identification unit can input the update frequency of the website into AI, which can then assign a specific weight.

[0148] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0149] Step 1: The collection unit collects information about websites accessed by children. For example, the collection unit collects URLs and content of websites accessed by children, as well as titles, metadata, and text of web pages. Step 2: The identifying unit identifies educationally inappropriate sites based on the information collected by the collecting unit. For example, the identifying unit may identify sites containing violent content or adult content, and may also identify inappropriate sites based on specific keywords. Step 3: The blocking unit blocks access to the inappropriate sites identified by the identifying unit. The blocking unit can block access to the inappropriate sites using, for example, IP blocking or content filtering, and can also restrict access by adding the URL of the identified site to a blacklist. Step 4: The second collection unit collects smartphone usage history. The second collection unit collects usage history such as which apps the child used, which websites they visited, the duration and frequency of app use, and website browsing history. Step 5: The analysis unit analyzes the usage history collected by the second collection unit and analyzes the child's personality and interests. For example, the analysis unit can identify the child's hobbies and topics of interest based on the collected usage history and analyze usage history patterns using AI. Step 6: The providing unit provides information based on the analysis results obtained by the analyzing unit. For example, the providing unit can provide parents and children with information to help with the child's development, and can also provide information on books and events related to the child's interests.

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.

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.

[0184] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0185] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.

[0186] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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).

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0197] 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. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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).

[0207] 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.

[0208] 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."

[0209] 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.

[0210] 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.

[0211] 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.

[0212] 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.

[0213] 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.

[0214] 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.

[0215] 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.

[0216] 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.

[0217] 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.

[0218] 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.

[0219] 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.
