[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.

[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59.

[0057] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0058] When accepting an employee's self-evaluation, the reception unit can analyze the employee's past evaluation history and customize the self-evaluation items. For example, it can highlight items for which the employee received a high evaluation in the past and encourage the employee to re-evaluate those items when self-evaluating. It can also clearly indicate areas for improvement for items for which the employee received a low evaluation in the past, so that the employee will focus on those items when self-evaluating. Furthermore, it can add or delete self-evaluation items based on the employee's past evaluation history. This allows for self-evaluations that reflect the employee's past evaluation history.

This allows the self-evaluation to reflect the employee's current projects and areas of interest.

[0064] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0065] Step 1: The reception department accepts employee self-evaluations. Employee self-evaluations include work performance, skill improvement, and goal achievement. The reception department can accept self-evaluations via online forms, face-to-face meetings, voice input, or text input. For example, if an employee prefers voice input, voice input is given priority. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the self-assessments received by the reception unit.

Furthermore, if an employee is concentrating, the reception unit can also encourage the employee to submit the self-evaluation at that time. Furthermore, if an employee is tired, the reception unit can receive the self-evaluation after a break. For example, the reception unit can capture the employee's facial expression with a camera and estimate the employee's emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. This allows the timing of receiving the self-evaluation to be adjusted according to the employee's emotions, thereby allowing the self-evaluation to be received at a more appropriate time.

[0103] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0104] When accepting an employee's self-evaluation, the reception unit can analyze the employee's past evaluation history and customize the self-evaluation items. For example, it can highlight items for which the employee received a high evaluation in the past and encourage the employee to re-evaluate those items when self-evaluating. It can also clearly indicate areas for improvement for items for which the employee received a low evaluation in the past, so that the employee will focus on those items when self-evaluating. Furthermore, it can add or delete self-evaluation items based on the employee's past evaluation history. This allows for self-evaluations that reflect the employee's past evaluation history.

For example, if an employee is feeling stressed, the reception unit can encourage the employee to perform the self-evaluation in a relaxing environment. Also, if the employee is concentrating, the reception unit can be adjusted to have the employee perform the self-evaluation at that time. Furthermore, if the employee is tired, the reception unit can be adjusted to have the employee perform the self-evaluation after a break. In this way, the reception unit can receive self-evaluations according to the employee's emotions.

[0109] When analyzing an employee's self-evaluation, the analysis unit can adjust the analysis algorithm based on the employee's past evaluation data.

For example, if the employee is relaxed, detailed analysis results can be provided. If the employee is feeling stressed, concise analysis results can be provided. Furthermore, if the employee is in a hurry, analysis results that focus on the main points can be provided. This allows the analysis results to be presented according to the employee's emotions.

[0114] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0115] Step 1: The reception department accepts employee self-evaluations. Employee self-evaluations include work performance, skill improvement, and goal achievement. The reception department can accept self-evaluations via online forms, face-to-face meetings, voice input, or text input. For example, if an employee prefers voice input, voice input is given priority. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the self-assessments received by the reception unit. The analysis is based on data analysis methods and evaluation criteria. For example, the analysis unit checks the consistency and fairness of the self-assessments by comparing them with past evaluation data, and uses statistical methods to check the consistency of the evaluations and propose appropriate corrections. Specifically, regression analysis and analysis of variance can be used. Step 3: The support unit supports the evaluator's evaluation based on the self-evaluation analyzed by the analysis unit. The support unit clarifies the basis for the evaluation and provides advice to maintain consistency in the evaluation. For example, it can clarify the basis for the evaluation to the evaluator and encourage appropriate evaluation. It can also analyze the evaluator's past evaluation history and select the most appropriate support method. Step 4: The feedback department provides the employee with the evaluation results supported by the support department. The feedback provides detailed feedback to the employee, clearly stating the reasons for the evaluation results and specific areas for improvement. For example, the feedback can be provided in a way that clearly explains the reasons for the evaluation results and provides the employee with feedback that is convincing. The accuracy of the feedback can also be improved by referring to the employee's past feedback results.

[0116] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14.

In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0117] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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."

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
