[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. 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) A coaching follow-up system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generative AI to build a coaching and follow-up system for newly appointed teachers. The coaching follow-up system monitors the state of a class, and the generative AI analyzes and provides feedback to improve the quality of the teacher's class. The coaching follow-up system also analyzes the classroom atmosphere, grasps students' emotions and level of concentration, and proposes feedback and improvement measures to the teacher. For example, the coaching follow-up system monitors the state of a class. For example, it collects the state of the class in real time using cameras and microphones in the classroom. Next, the coaching follow-up system analyzes the teacher's speaking style and students' reactions based on the collected data. For example, the generative AI analyzes the teacher's speaking style and students' reactions and provides specific feedback. Next, the coaching follow-up system provides specific feedback to the teacher based on the analysis results. For example, the generative AI suggests areas for improvement to the teacher. Furthermore, the coaching follow-up system analyzes students' facial expressions, tone of voice, sitting position, etc. to grasp students' emotions and level of concentration. For example, the generative AI analyzes students' emotions and level of concentration and proposes appropriate feedback and improvement measures to the teacher. This allows the coaching and follow-up system to provide real-time feedback to even newly hired teachers in classroom situations where appropriate responses are required, eliminating subjective judgment. This allows the coaching and follow-up system to support teacher growth and improve the quality of education. For example, even if a teacher misses a student's response during class, the generative AI can detect that response and provide appropriate feedback to the teacher, thereby improving the quality of the lesson. Furthermore, the generative AI can accumulate data on the teacher's lesson progress and student responses and propose long-term improvement measures. For example, it can provide specific advice on improving the teacher's speaking style and how the lesson is conducted based on past lesson data. This allows teachers to continuously improve the quality of their lessons.
[0029] A coaching follow-up system according to an embodiment includes a monitoring unit, an analysis unit, and a providing unit. The monitoring unit monitors the state of a class. Examples of the state of a class include, but are not limited to, the teacher's speaking style, students' reactions, and the classroom environment. The monitoring unit collects information about the state of a class in real time using, for example, a camera or microphone in the classroom. The monitoring unit can also monitor environmental sounds, temperature, and lighting conditions in the classroom. For example, if the temperature in the classroom is too high, the monitoring unit can suggest lowering the air conditioner setting. The analysis unit analyzes the teacher's speaking style and students' reactions based on the collected data. Examples of the analysis include, but are not limited to, the type of data, analysis algorithm, and purpose of the analysis. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the speed and tone of the teacher's speaking style to suggest effective communication methods. The analysis unit can also analyze students' facial expressions, tone of voice, sitting posture, and the like to understand their emotions and level of concentration.

The providing unit can also customize the content of the feedback according to the teacher's field of expertise. For example, the providing unit can suggest effective lesson conduct methods based on the teacher's field of expertise. Furthermore, the providing unit can adjust the content of the feedback according to the teacher's teaching style. For example, the providing unit can suggest specific areas for improvement according to the teacher's teaching style. In this way, by providing specific feedback based on the analysis results, the quality of the teacher's lessons can be improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the providing unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the providing unit can input the analysis results into a generation AI, which can generate feedback.
[0033] The analysis unit can analyze students' facial expressions, tone of voice, and sitting posture to understand their emotions and level of concentration. Examples of student facial expressions include, but are not limited to, smiling, serious, and confused expressions. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes students' facial expressions and calculates an emotion score. The analysis unit can also analyze students' tone of voice to estimate their emotions. For example, if a student's voice tone is high, the analysis unit estimates that the student is excited. The analysis unit can also analyze students' sitting posture to evaluate their level of concentration. For example, if a student is sitting leaning forward, the analysis unit evaluates that the student has a high level of concentration. This allows the progress of the class to be appropriately adjusted by understanding students' emotions and level of concentration. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input students' facial expression data into a generation AI, which can then estimate their emotions.
[0034] The providing unit can propose appropriate feedback and improvement measures to the teacher based on the student's emotions and level of concentration. Appropriate feedback includes, but is not limited to, specific suggestions for improvement and advice. The providing unit can also propose specific improvement measures to the teacher based on the student's emotions and level of concentration.

For example, the providing unit can suggest changing the progress of the lesson if the student's level of concentration is low. The providing unit can also suggest adjusting the classroom environment based on the student's emotions and level of concentration. For example, the providing unit can suggest adjusting the temperature and lighting conditions in the classroom. This allows the quality of lessons to be improved by proposing appropriate feedback and improvement measures based on the student's emotions and level of concentration. Some or all of the above-described processing by the providing unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the providing unit can input student emotion data into a generation AI, which can then generate feedback.
[0035] The monitoring unit can analyze sounds in the classroom and identify factors affecting the progress of the lesson. Examples of sounds in the classroom include, but are not limited to, noise, disturbances, and private conversations between students. For example, if the noise in the classroom increases, the monitoring unit can identify the cause and suggest measures to the teacher to reduce the noise. Furthermore, if noise from outside the classroom is affecting the lesson, the monitoring unit can provide the teacher with information about the noise and suggest measures such as closing the windows. For example, if there is an increase in private conversations between students, the monitoring unit can detect this situation and provide feedback to the teacher to alert them. In this way, by analyzing the environmental sounds in the classroom, factors affecting the progress of the lesson can be identified and appropriate measures can be suggested. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the monitoring unit can be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or can be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input audio data from the classroom into a generation AI, which can then analyze the audio data.
[0036] The monitoring unit monitors the temperature and lighting conditions in the classroom and can make suggestions to maintain an environment suitable for the progress of lessons.

For example, if the lighting in the classroom is too dim, the monitoring unit can suggest turning up the lights. In this way, by monitoring the temperature and lighting conditions in the classroom, an environment suitable for the progress of lessons can be maintained. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data on the temperature and lighting in the classroom into a generation AI, which can then analyze the data.
[0037] The monitoring unit can analyze the teacher's movements and gestures and provide feedback for effective lesson progress. Examples of the teacher's movements include, but are not limited to, movements within the classroom, hand movements, and body orientation. For example, if the teacher moves little during class, the monitoring unit can suggest that the teacher move more and provide specific actions to attract students' attention. Furthermore, if the teacher uses gestures frequently, the monitoring unit can evaluate their effectiveness and suggest more effective ways to use them. For example, if the teacher tends to stay in a specific place, the monitoring unit can suggest that the teacher move more within the classroom, strengthening a visual approach to all students. Thus, analyzing the teacher's movements and gestures can provide feedback for effective lesson progress. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data on the teacher's movements and gestures into a generation AI, which can then analyze the data.

For example, if hallway noise is affecting the classroom, the monitoring unit can provide that information to the teacher and suggest countermeasures. Furthermore, if activities outside the classroom are affecting the lesson, the monitoring unit can provide that information to the teacher and suggest adjusting the progress of the lesson. For example, if noise outside the classroom is concentrated during a specific time period, the monitoring unit can suggest adjusting the class schedule based on that information. Thus, by monitoring the environment outside the classroom, factors that affect the progress of the lesson can be identified and appropriate countermeasures can be suggested. Some or all of the above-described processing by the monitoring unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input audio data from outside the classroom into a generation AI, which can then analyze the data.

For example, if the group discussion is not active, the analysis unit can suggest specific improvements based on that information. Furthermore, if the group discussion is biased toward a few students, the analysis unit can also suggest a method for conducting the group discussion that allows all students to participate based on that information. For example, if the group discussion is ineffective, the analysis unit can suggest specific improvements based on that information and provide feedback to the teacher. In this way, by analyzing the state of group discussions in the classroom, effective methods for conducting group activities can be proposed. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed, for example, using a generation AI, or can be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input group discussion data into a generation AI, which can analyze the data.
[0044] The analysis unit can analyze the student's written content and evaluate the student's level of understanding of the lesson.

[0130] 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.

[0133] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. 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 a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 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 also perform processing similar to that of the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0137] 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.
[0138] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 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 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0139] 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.

[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.

[0157] 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.
[0158] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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).
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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."
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
