Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A bilingual development and language acquisition support system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses generative AI to help users naturally acquire multiple languages. The bilingual development and language acquisition support system includes a translation unit with a multilingual conversation function that translates a user's speech in real time and responds in a specified language; a conversation unit with a multi-party conversation algorithm that enables multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages; a training unit with an English four-technique approach function that provides training for equally mastering the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing; and a scenario unit with a native language acquisition program that generates and provides scenarios for using a second native language in daily life. For example, the bilingual development and language acquisition support system helps users naturally use multiple languages in their daily lives. For example, if a user wants to learn Japanese and English simultaneously, using this system allows them to use both languages naturally in everyday conversation. This allows users to become bilingual unconsciously. The bilingual development and language acquisition support system also allows multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages. For example, if a family has a father who speaks English and a mother who speaks Japanese, and a child who speaks both languages, using this system allows all family members to communicate smoothly. This allows the child to naturally acquire both languages. Furthermore, the bilingual development and language consolidation support system helps users acquire the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a balanced manner. For example, if a user wants to improve their English listening skills, they can use this system to receive training specifically focused on listening. Similarly, they can receive balanced training in the skills of speaking, reading, and writing. Finally, the bilingual development and language consolidation support system helps users naturally acquire a second native language. For example, if a user wants to acquire English as a second native language, using this system allows them to use English naturally in their daily lives.This allows users to unconsciously acquire English as a second native language. This allows the bilingual development and language consolidation support system to help users naturally acquire multiple languages. For example, users can naturally use multiple languages in their daily lives and become bilingual. Furthermore, multiple users can simultaneously converse in different languages, enabling smooth communication. Furthermore, users can acquire the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a balanced manner, naturally acquiring a second native language.
[0029] A bilingual development and language acquisition support system according to an embodiment includes a translation unit, a conversation unit, a training unit, and a scenario unit. The translation unit translates a user's speech in real time and responds in a specified language. For example, the translation unit uses a generation AI to translate the user's speech in real time and respond in an appropriate language. The translation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the tone and expression of the translation based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation AI can translate in a gentler tone and use expressions that create a sense of security. The translation unit can also improve the accuracy of the translation by referring to the user's past speech history. For example, the generation AI can memorize specific phrases and expressions used by the user in the past and reuse them in similar contexts. Furthermore, the translation unit can automatically select technical terms according to the user's field of expertise. For example, if the user works in the medical field, the generation AI can prioritize medical terminology when translating. The conversation unit enables multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages. For example, the conversation unit enables multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages using the generation AI. The conversation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the conversation proceeds based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation AI can proceed with the conversation at a slower pace. The conversation unit can also optimize the flow of the conversation by referring to the user's past conversation history. For example, the generation AI can memorize topics the user has previously discussed and incorporate related topics into the conversation. The conversation unit can also select conversation topics based on the user's areas of interest. For example, the generation AI can select conversation topics based on the user's areas of interest (sports, music, etc.). The training unit provides training to help the user acquire the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a balanced manner. For example, the training unit uses the generation AI to provide training to help the user acquire the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a balanced manner.The training unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the difficulty of the training based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation AI can provide easy training and gradually increase the difficulty. The training unit can also optimize the training content by referring to the user's past learning history. For example, the generation AI can memorize what the user has learned in the past and provide related training. The training unit can also select a training method according to the user's learning style. For example, if the user is a visual learner, the generation AI can provide training using visual materials. The scenario unit can generate scenarios using the second native language in daily life and provide them to the user. For example, the scenario unit can use the generation AI to generate scenarios using the second native language in daily life and provide them to the user. The scenario unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the scenario based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation AI can provide a scenario that helps the user relax. The scenario unit can also improve the accuracy of the scenario by referring to the user's past scenario history. For example, the generation AI can memorize scenarios the user has used in the past and provide related scenarios. The scenario unit can also select scenarios according to the user's lifestyle. For example, if a user has a busy lifestyle, the generation AI can provide a scenario that can be completed in a short time. This allows the bilingual development and language consolidation support system according to the embodiment to support the user in naturally acquiring multiple languages.
[0030] The translation unit can use a generation AI to translate a user's utterance in real time and respond in an appropriate language. The generation AI is realized, for example, using a specific AI model or algorithm. For example, the generation AI can translate a user's utterance in real time and respond in an appropriate language. For example, the generation AI inputs the user's utterance as text data and outputs the translation result as text data. The generation AI can also input the user's utterance as audio data and output the translation result as audio data. Furthermore, the generation AI can analyze the user's utterance and provide an appropriate translation according to the context. For example, the generation AI understands the intent of the user's utterance and provides an appropriate translation. As a result, the use of the generation AI improves the accuracy and speed of translation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the translation unit may be performed, for example, using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the translation unit can perform translation using a generation AI that inputs the user's utterance as text data and outputs the translation result as text data.
[0031] The conversation unit can use a generation AI to enable multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages. The generation AI is realized, for example, using a specific AI model or algorithm. For example, the generation AI enables multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages. For example, the generation AI translates each user's utterance in real time and responds to other users in an appropriate language. The generation AI can also analyze each user's utterance and provide an appropriate translation based on the context. For example, the generation AI understands the intent of each user's utterance and provides an appropriate translation. This enables smooth communication between users who speak different languages by using the generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the conversation unit can be performed, for example, using the generation AI, or can be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the conversation unit can conduct a conversation using a generation AI that inputs each user's utterance as text data and outputs the translation result as text data.
[0032] The training unit can use a generation AI to provide training for balanced acquisition of the four techniques of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The generation AI is realized, for example, using a specific AI model or algorithm. For example, the generation AI provides training for balanced acquisition of the four techniques of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. For example, the generation AI provides training for improving a user's listening ability. For example, the generation AI can also provide training for improving a user's speaking ability. For example, the generation AI can also provide training for improving a user's reading ability. For example, the generation AI can also provide training for improving a user's writing ability. In this way, the generation AI can be used to acquire the four techniques in a balanced manner. Some or all of the above-described processing in the training unit may be performed, for example, using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the training unit can perform training using a generation AI that provides training for improving a user's listening ability.
[0033] The scenario unit can use the generation AI to generate scenarios in which the second native language is used in daily life and provide them to the user. The generation AI is realized, for example, using a specific AI model or algorithm. For example, the generation AI can generate scenarios in which the second native language is used in daily life and provide them to the user. For example, the generation AI can analyze the user's daily life situation and generate an appropriate scenario. For example, the generation AI can also generate scenarios that match the user's lifestyle. For example, the generation AI can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the scenario based on the estimated user's emotions. In this way, the generation AI can enable the user to naturally acquire the second native language. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the scenario unit can be performed, for example, using the generation AI, or can be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the scenario unit can provide a scenario using a generation AI that analyzes the user's daily life situation and generates an appropriate scenario.
[0034] The translation unit can improve the accuracy of the translation by referring to the user's past speech history during translation. The translation unit, for example, improves the accuracy of the translation by referring to the user's past speech history. For example, the translation unit uses a generation AI to memorize specific phrases and expressions used by the user in the past and reuse them in similar contexts. The translation unit can also prioritize frequently used words and phrases from the user's past speech history in the translation. Furthermore, the translation unit can analyze the user's past speech history to understand grammatical and vocabulary trends and improve the accuracy of the translation. Thus, by referring to the past speech history, the accuracy of the translation is improved. The speech history is stored, for example, as text data or audio data. Some or all of the above-described processing in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the translation unit can perform translation using a generation AI that improves the accuracy of the translation by referring to the user's past speech history.
[0035] The translation unit can automatically select technical terms according to the user's field of expertise during translation. For example, the translation unit automatically selects technical terms according to the user's field of expertise. For example, if the user is in the medical field, the translation unit may have the generation AI prioritize medical terminology during translation. Furthermore, if the user is in the technical field, the translation unit may have the generation AI appropriately incorporate technical terminology into the translation. Furthermore, the translation unit may automatically select relevant technical terms based on the user's field of expertise to improve the accuracy of the translation. This allows translations to be performed using appropriate terminology according to the field of expertise. The specific type of field of expertise, such as medical, legal, or technical, and the selection method, must be clearly defined. Some or all of the above-described processing in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without the generation AI. For example, the translation unit may perform translations using a generation AI that automatically selects technical terms according to the user's field of expertise.
[0036] The translation unit can adjust the translation speed during translation according to the user's speaking speed. The translation unit adjusts the translation speed according to, for example, the user's speaking speed. For example, if the user speaks quickly, the generation AI can quickly translate and provide a real-time response. Alternatively, if the user speaks slowly, the generation AI can carefully translate and provide an accurate response. Furthermore, the translation unit can automatically adjust the translation speed according to the user's speaking speed, enabling smooth conversation. This allows translation to be performed at an appropriate speed according to the user's speaking speed. It is necessary to clearly define a specific measurement method or standard for the speaking speed, such as the number of words per unit time. Some or all of the above-described processing in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the translation unit can perform translation using a generation AI that adjusts the translation speed according to the user's speaking speed.
[0037] The translation unit can use region-specific expressions during translation, taking into account the user's geographical location information. The translation unit can use region-specific expressions, for example, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in the United States, the translation unit can have the generation AI use American English expressions to translate. Also, if the user is in the United Kingdom, the translation unit can have the generation AI use British English expressions to translate. Furthermore, the translation unit can appropriately incorporate region-specific slang and expressions into the translation based on the user's geographical location information. This allows translation to be performed using appropriate region-specific expressions. It is necessary to clarify the specific acquisition and usage methods of geographical location information, such as GPS data or IP address. Some or all of the above-described processing in the translation unit can be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or can be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the translation unit can perform translation using a generation AI that uses region-specific expressions while taking into account the user's geographical location information.
[0038] The translation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and use relevant expressions during translation. For example, the translation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and use relevant expressions. For example, the translation unit can incorporate phrases and expressions frequently used by the user on social media into the translation using a generation AI. The translation unit can also identify the user's interests and concerns from their social media activity and use relevant expressions in the translation. Furthermore, the translation unit can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and translate them with an appropriate tone and style. This allows the translation to be performed with appropriate expressions based on the social media activity. The specific content of the social media activity, such as the content of the posts and the number of likes, and the analysis method, need to be clearly defined. Some or all of the above-described processing in the translation unit can be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or can be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the translation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and use a generation AI that uses relevant expressions to perform the translation.
[0039] The translation unit can customize the translation method by reflecting the user's past feedback during translation. For example, the translation unit customizes the translation method by reflecting the user's past feedback. For example, the translation unit allows the generation AI to adjust the tone and style of the translation based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The translation unit can also learn and apply preferred translation methods from the user's past feedback. Furthermore, the translation unit can also allow the generation AI to improve the accuracy and naturalness of the translation by reflecting the user's feedback. This allows translation to be performed in an appropriate manner based on the past feedback. The specific content and acquisition method of the feedback, such as user surveys or evaluation comments, need to be clarified. Some or all of the above-described processing in the translation unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the translation unit can perform translation using a generation AI that customizes the translation method by reflecting the user's past feedback.
[0040] During a conversation, the conversation unit can optimize the flow of the conversation by referring to the user's past conversation history. The conversation unit, for example, optimizes the flow of the conversation by referring to the user's past conversation history. For example, the conversation unit uses a generation AI to store topics that the user has previously discussed and incorporate related topics into the conversation. The conversation unit can also prioritize preferred topics from the user's past conversation history. Furthermore, the conversation unit can analyze the user's past conversation history to achieve a smooth conversation flow. This allows the conversation to have an appropriate flow based on the past conversation history. The conversation history is stored, for example, as text data or audio data. Some or all of the above-described processing in the conversation unit may be performed, for example, using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the conversation unit can conduct a conversation using a generation AI that optimizes the flow of the conversation by referring to the user's past conversation history.
[0041] During a conversation, the conversation unit can select a conversation topic based on the user's field of interest. The conversation unit, for example, selects a conversation topic based on the user's field of interest. For example, the conversation unit uses a generation AI to select a conversation topic based on the user's field of interest (sports, music, etc.). The conversation unit can also incorporate topics of interest from the user's past search history into the conversation. Furthermore, the conversation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and reflect related topics in the conversation. This allows the conversation to be conducted on an appropriate topic based on the user's field of interest. The specific type and selection method of the field of interest, such as hobbies or occupation, need to be clearly defined. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the conversation unit can conduct a conversation using a generation AI that selects a conversation topic based on the user's field of interest.
[0042] The conversation unit can adjust the tempo of the conversation during a conversation depending on the frequency of the user's speech. The conversation unit, for example, adjusts the tempo of the conversation depending on the frequency of the user's speech. For example, if the user speaks frequently, the conversation unit causes the generation AI to conduct the conversation at a fast tempo. Also, if the user speaks slowly, the conversation unit can cause the generation AI to conduct the conversation at a slower tempo. Furthermore, the conversation unit can automatically adjust the tempo of the conversation depending on the frequency of the user's speech. This allows the conversation to be conducted at an appropriate tempo based on the frequency of the speech. For the frequency of speech, it is necessary to clarify a specific measurement method or standard, such as the number of speeches per unit time. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversation unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the conversation unit can conduct a conversation using a generation AI that adjusts the tempo of the conversation depending on the frequency of the user's speech.
[0043] During a conversation, the conversation unit can select a region-specific topic by taking into account the user's geographic location information. For example, the conversation unit selects a region-specific topic by taking into account the user's geographic location information. For example, if the user is in the United States, the generation AI can select a topic related to American culture or news. Furthermore, if the user is in Japan, the generation AI can incorporate a region-specific topic into the conversation based on the user's geographic location information. This allows the conversation to be conducted on an appropriate topic based on the geographic location information. It is necessary to clarify the specific acquisition and usage methods of the geographic location information, such as GPS data or IP address. Some or all of the above-described processing in the conversation unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the conversation unit can conduct a conversation using a generation AI that selects a region-specific topic by taking into account the user's geographic location information.
[0044] The conversation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and select related topics during a conversation. For example, the conversation unit analyzes the user's social media activity and selects related topics. For example, the conversation unit uses a generation AI to reflect topics that the user frequently discusses on social media in the conversation. The conversation unit can also understand the user's interests and concerns from their social media activity and incorporate related topics into the conversation. Furthermore, the conversation unit can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and conduct the conversation on appropriate topics. This allows the conversation to be conducted on appropriate topics based on the social media activity. The specific content of the social media activity, such as the content of the posts and the number of likes, and the analysis method, need to be clarified. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the conversation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the conversation unit can conduct a conversation using a generation AI that analyzes the user's social media activity and selects related topics.
[0045] The conversation unit can customize the conversation method by reflecting the user's past feedback during the conversation.

Similarly, they can receive balanced training in the skills of speaking, reading, and writing. Finally, the bilingual development and language consolidation support system helps users naturally acquire a second native language. For example, if a user wants to acquire English as a second native language, using this system allows them to use English naturally in their daily lives.This allows users to unconsciously acquire English as a second native language. This allows the bilingual development and language consolidation support system to help users naturally acquire multiple languages. For example, users can naturally use multiple languages in their daily lives and become bilingual. Furthermore, multiple users can simultaneously converse in different languages, enabling smooth communication.

The translation unit can also provide supplementary information to help users avoid cultural misunderstandings when communicating with people from different cultures. Furthermore, the translation unit can provide resources and links to help users deepen their knowledge of a specific culture. This allows users to learn a language while deepening their understanding of different cultures.
[0109] The conversation unit can also estimate the emotions of the user's conversation partner and adjust the way the conversation proceeds based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user's conversation partner is nervous, the conversation unit can select a topic that will help the generation AI relax. Also, if the conversation partner is excited, the conversation unit can provide a lively topic that will maintain the excitement. Furthermore, if the conversation partner is tired, the conversation unit can select a calming topic and proceed with a relaxing conversation. This allows both the user and the conversation partner to communicate comfortably.
[0110] The training unit can customize the training method according to the user's learning style. For example, if the user is a visual learner, the generation AI can provide training using visual materials. If the user is an auditory learner, the generation AI can provide training using audio materials. Furthermore, if the user is an experiential learner, the generation AI can provide training using interactive simulations. This allows users to effectively learn in the way that best suits them.
[0111] The scenario unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the difficulty of the scenario based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the generation AI can provide an easy scenario and gradually increase the difficulty. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the generation AI can provide a scenario with a moderate level of difficulty. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the generation AI can provide a challenging scenario. This makes it possible to provide a scenario with an appropriate level of difficulty according to the user's emotions.
[0112] The translation unit can provide expert advice based on the user's speech. For example, if a user talks about a medical topic, the generation AI can appropriately translate medical terminology and provide relevant medical knowledge. If a user talks about a technical topic, the generation AI can appropriately translate technical terminology and provide relevant technical information. If a user talks about a legal topic, the generation AI can appropriately translate legal terminology and provide relevant legal knowledge. This allows users to learn a language while deepening their specialized knowledge.
[0113] The conversation unit can optimize the flow of the conversation by referring to the past conversation history of the user's conversation partner. For example, the conversation unit uses a generation AI to memorize topics that the conversation partner has previously discussed and incorporates related topics into the conversation. The conversation unit can also prioritize preferred topics from the conversation partner's past conversation history. Furthermore, the conversation unit can analyze the conversation partner's past conversation history to ensure a smooth conversation flow. This allows the conversation to flow appropriately based on the past conversation history.
[0114] The training unit can adjust the pace of training according to the user's progress. For example, if the user is progressing at a fast pace, the generation AI can increase the difficulty of the training. Conversely, if the user is progressing at a slow pace, the generation AI can also ease the pace of training. Furthermore, the generation AI can automatically adjust the pace of training according to the user's progress, providing an optimal learning environment. This allows training to be performed at an appropriate pace based on the user's progress.
[0115] The scenario unit can estimate the user's emotions and prioritize scenarios based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is in an emergency, the generation AI can prioritize important scenarios. Also, if the user is relaxed, the generation AI can proceed with the scenario taking into account the overall context. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation AI can prioritize concise and clear scenarios. This makes it possible to provide scenarios with appropriate priorities according to the user's emotions.
[0116] The scenario unit can customize the content of the scenario according to the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user leads a busy life, the generation AI can provide a scenario that can be completed in a short time. On the other hand, if the user leads a relaxed life, the generation AI can provide a scenario that can be enjoyed for a long time. Furthermore, the generation AI can select and provide the optimal scenario based on the user's lifestyle. This makes it possible to provide a scenario with appropriate content based on the user's lifestyle.
[0117] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0118] Step 1: The translation unit translates the user's speech in real time and responds in the specified language. For example, generative AI can be used to translate the user's speech and respond in the appropriate language. It can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the tone and expression of the translation based on the estimated emotions. Furthermore, it can improve the accuracy of the translation by referring to the user's past speech history, and it can also automatically select technical terms according to the field of expertise. Step 2: The conversation part allows multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages. For example, it can use generative AI to enable multiple users to converse simultaneously in different languages, estimate users' emotions, and adjust the way the conversation progresses. It can also refer to users' past conversation history to optimize the flow of the conversation and select conversation topics based on their areas of interest. Step 3: The training department provides training to help users master the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a balanced way. For example, generative AI can be used to provide training to help users master the four skills in a balanced way, and the difficulty of the training can be adjusted by estimating the user's emotions. It can also optimize the training content by referring to the user's past learning history and select a training method that suits their learning style. Step 4: The scenario unit generates scenarios in which the second native language is used in daily life and provides them to the user. For example, the generation AI can be used to generate scenarios in which the second native language is used in daily life, and the content of the scenario can be adjusted by estimating the user's emotions. It can also improve the accuracy of the scenario by referring to the user's past scenario history and select scenarios that suit their lifestyle.

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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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).
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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."
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
