[0107] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0108] The collection unit can analyze the user's past behavioral history and select the optimal information collection method. For example, the collection unit analyzes what kind of information the user has frequently collected in the past and selects the information collection method based on that pattern. The collection unit can also analyze what information collection method the user has preferred in the past and preferentially select that method. Furthermore, the collection unit can adjust the timing of information collection based on the user's past behavioral history. This improves the efficiency of information collection by selecting the optimal information collection method based on the user's past behavioral history.

[0109] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of analysis based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing information of high importance. Also, if the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can prioritize detailed analysis. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing information that can be analyzed quickly. In this way, by determining the priority of analysis according to the user's emotions, more appropriate analysis is possible.

[0110] The matching unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of matching based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the matching unit can reduce the frequency of matching and perform matching when the user is relaxed. Also, if the user is relaxed, the matching unit can increase the frequency of matching and perform detailed matching. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the matching unit can perform matching quickly and prioritize matching with the minimum necessary information. This allows for more appropriate matching by adjusting the timing of matching according to the user's emotions.

[0111] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the proposal based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation unit can generate a simple, highly visible proposal. If the user is relaxed, the generation unit can also generate a detailed proposal. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation unit can also generate a proposal that focuses on the main points. In this way, by adjusting the content of the proposal according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate proposal can be provided.

[0112] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the type of information to collect based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting information of high importance. Also, if the user is relaxed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the collection unit can prioritize collecting information that can be collected quickly. In this way, by determining the type of information to collect according to the user's emotions, more appropriate information collection is possible.

[0113] The collection unit can determine the priority of information collection based on the user's business goals. For example, if the user places importance on short-term profits, the collection unit can prioritize collecting information with high profitability. Also, if the user places importance on long-term growth, the collection unit can prioritize collecting information with high growth potential.

[0116] The generation unit can analyze the success rate of the user's past proposals and prioritize the use of formats with high success rates. For example, the generation unit can analyze the formats of proposals that have been successful in the past and generate a new proposal based on those formats. The generation unit can also adjust the content of the new proposal by referring to the content of proposals that have been successful in the past. Furthermore, the generation unit can adjust the importance of each item in the proposal based on the success rate of the past proposals. In this way, the success rate of the proposal is improved by generating a proposal based on the success rate of the user's past proposals.

[0117] The generation unit can reflect user feedback in real time and adjust the content of the proposal. For example, when a user provides feedback on the content of the proposal, the generation unit immediately modifies the content of the proposal based on the feedback. The generation unit can also adjust the format of the proposal based on the user feedback. Furthermore, the generation unit can also reevaluate the importance of each item in the proposal by referring to the user feedback. In this way, a more appropriate proposal can be provided by reflecting user feedback in real time.

[0118] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0119] Step 1: The collection unit collects information about buyers and sellers. This information includes contact information, transaction history, and desired conditions. The collection unit collects information through online forms and can also obtain information from external databases using APIs. It also saves information manually entered by users to the database in real time. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit.

For example, data mining techniques are used to extract patterns, statistical analysis is used to analyze trends in the information, and machine learning algorithms are used to build predictive models. Step 3: The matching unit adjusts the buyer and seller based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. Adjustments are made based on the degree of match of conditions and by setting priorities. For example, it compares the buyer's desired conditions with the conditions offered by the seller and selects the combination with the highest degree of match. It is also possible to set priorities and prioritize matching of important conditions. Furthermore, it selects matches with a high success rate based on past transaction data. Step 4: The generation unit generates a proposal based on the results adjusted by the matching unit. The proposal is generated in the form of proposal items, format, and content. For example, each item in the proposal can be automatically generated based on information entered by the user, and the proposal can be generated by combining the company's financial information, business plan, etc. It is also possible to automatically generate the content of a proposal using generation AI.

[0120] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0121] 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. 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.

Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

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.

[0172] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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).

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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."

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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).
