Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention loads the URL of an online shopping site into an AI and determines whether the site is a reputable site or a dark site. In this system, a user inputs the URL, and the AI analyzes the URL and determines the risk level based on the site's content, structure, past reviews, and other factors. This determination is based on unique criteria and does not constitute business interference. For example, a user inputs the URL of a specific online shopping site into the system, such as "https: / / example.com." This information is then input into the AI. The AI then analyzes the input URL. The AI determines the risk level based on the URL's content, structure, past reviews, and other factors. For example, the AI analyzes the presence or absence of an SSL certificate, past user reviews, the site's design and structure, and domain registration information. This allows the system to determine whether the site is a reputable site or a dark site. Furthermore, the AI determines the risk level based on its own criteria. These criteria are used to evaluate the reliability and safety of the site and do not constitute business interference. For example, the AI may determine whether the site has a valid SSL certificate, past user reviews, and whether the site's design and structure indicate trustworthiness. This allows the system to safely use online shopping sites. For example, before using a particular online shopping site, users can check whether the site is a reputable site or a dark site. This allows users to avoid fraudulent and unauthorised sites and enjoy online shopping safely.
[0029] An online shopping site evaluation system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives a URL of an online shopping site entered by a user. For example, the user can manually enter the URL of a specific online shopping site. The reception unit can also receive the URL by copy and paste, voice input, or other methods. The analysis unit analyzes the URL entered by the reception unit and determines the risk level based on the site's content, structure, and past evaluations. For example, the analysis unit checks whether an SSL certificate is present. The analysis unit can evaluate the site's reliability by checking the issuer and expiration date of the SSL certificate. The analysis unit also analyzes past user reviews. For example, the analysis unit can determine the site's rating based on the review content and rating score. The analysis unit also evaluates the site's design and structure. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the site's usability, visual aesthetics, ease of navigation, and so on. The analysis unit also checks domain registration information. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the site's reliability based on the domain's registrant information, registration date, registration agency, and so on. The provision unit provides the user with the results of the analysis unit's evaluation. For example, the providing unit can provide the analysis results to the user in text format or graphical display. The providing unit can also use email, push notification, or the like as a notification method. This allows the online shopping site evaluation system according to the embodiment to analyze the URL of an online shopping site entered by the user, determine its risk level, and provide the result.
[0030] The analysis unit can check whether an SSL certificate is present. For example, the analysis unit checks whether an SSL certificate is present. For example, the analysis unit checks the issuer and expiration date of the SSL certificate to evaluate the reliability of the site. The analysis unit can also verify the certificate chain to confirm the validity of the SSL certificate. For example, the analysis unit checks whether the certificate chain is correctly configured and determines whether it was issued by a trusted certificate authority. In this way, the reliability of a site can be evaluated by checking whether an SSL certificate is present.
[0031] The analysis unit can analyze past user reviews. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes past user reviews. For example, the analysis unit determines the site's rating based on the review content and rating score. The analysis unit can also check the reliability of the review poster to evaluate the reliability of the review. For example, the analysis unit can check whether the review poster actually purchased the product and prioritize reviews with high reliability. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the review using natural language processing technology and classify positive and negative reviews. For example, the analysis unit can analyze keywords and phrases used in the review and comprehensively determine the site's rating. In this way, the site's rating can be determined by analyzing past user reviews.
[0032] The analysis unit can evaluate the design or structure of a site. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the design of a site. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the site based on its usability and visual beauty. The analysis unit can also evaluate the ease of navigation of a site. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the link arrangement and page hierarchical structure of a site to determine whether users can easily find information. The analysis unit can also evaluate the structure of a site. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the way information is organized on the site and the layout of the pages. In this way, by evaluating the design and structure of a site, the reliability of the site can be determined.
[0033] The analysis unit can check the domain registration information. The analysis unit can, for example, check the domain registration information. For example, the analysis unit can check the domain registrant information and registration date to evaluate the reliability of the site. The analysis unit can also check the domain registration agency. For example, the analysis unit can check whether the domain is registered by a reliable registration agency to determine the reliability of the site. The analysis unit can also check the domain update history. For example, the analysis unit can check whether the domain is frequently updated to evaluate the reliability of the site. In this way, the reliability of the site can be evaluated by checking the domain registration information.
[0034] The providing unit can provide the determination results obtained by the analysis unit to the user. The providing unit, for example, provides the analysis results to the user in text format. For example, the providing unit displays the analysis results in concise text so that the user can easily understand them.

In this way, by providing the analysis results to the user, the user can confirm the reliability of the site.
[0035] The reception unit can analyze the user's past URL input history and select the optimal input method. The reception unit, for example, analyzes the user's past URL input history. For example, the reception unit automatically displays URLs that have been frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that have been used in the past. For example, the reception unit can predict and suggest URLs that will be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. In this way, by analyzing the past input history, the optimal input method can be provided to the user. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input past input history data to a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal input method.
[0036] The reception unit can filter URLs based on the user's current areas of interest when the URL is input. The reception unit, for example, identifies the user's current areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can preferentially display related URLs based on keywords recently searched by the user. The reception unit can also filter URLs based on categories in which the user is interested (e.g., fashion, electronics, etc.). For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's past browsing history and suggest highly relevant URLs. This makes it possible to provide highly relevant URLs by filtering URLs based on the user's areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's area of interest data to a generation AI and have the generation AI perform filtering.
[0037] When a user inputs a URL, the reception unit can select the optimal input means depending on the user's input method. The reception unit, for example, identifies the user's input method. For example, when the user inputs a URL by voice, the reception unit accurately inputs the URL using voice recognition technology. Furthermore, when the user inputs a URL using text, the reception unit can provide an autocomplete function to simplify input. For example, when the user inputs a URL using an image, the reception unit can extract the URL using image recognition technology. This improves input convenience by providing the optimal input means depending on the user's input method. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's input method data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal input means.
[0038] When a URL is input, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant URLs by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The reception unit, for example, acquires the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception unit can identify the user's location information using GPS data or an IP address. The reception unit can also acquire the user's geographical location information by using a location information service. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize displaying URLs of online shopping sites related to that area. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the reception unit can prioritize displaying URLs of online shopping sites related to the user's travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the reception unit can prioritize displaying URLs of local online shopping sites. This makes it possible to provide highly relevant URLs by taking the user's geographical location information into consideration. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input geographical location information data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to select highly relevant URLs.
[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when a URL is input and input related URLs. The reception unit, for example, analyzes the user's social media activity. For example, the reception unit automatically displays URLs shared by the user on social media as candidates. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and suggest related URLs. For example, the reception unit can suggest related URLs by referring to the activity of the user's friends on social media. In this way, highly relevant URLs can be provided by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input social media activity data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to select related URLs.
[0040] The reception unit can customize the input method by reflecting the user's past feedback when entering a URL. The reception unit, for example, acquires the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit customizes the input method based on the user's ratings and comments. The reception unit can also customize the input method based on the user's past usage history. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests input methods that the user has used favorably in the past. The reception unit can also customize the input interface based on the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit adjusts the input interface to avoid input methods that the user has been dissatisfied with in the past. This allows the user to be provided with an optimal input method by reflecting the past feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input past feedback data into a generation AI and have the generation AI customize the input method.
[0041] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the site. The analysis unit, for example, evaluates the importance of the site. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the importance based on the number of visitors and transaction volume of the site. The analysis unit can also evaluate the importance based on industry influence. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis for a site with high importance. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis for a site with low importance. Furthermore, the analysis unit performs an analysis with a moderate level of detail for a site with medium importance. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the site. 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 site importance data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis.
[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the site. The analysis unit, for example, identifies the category of the site.

[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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 AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.
[0156] 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.
[0157] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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).
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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."
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
