Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) An insurance support system according to an embodiment of the present invention accepts questions and keywords from users, and a generation AI proposes explanations and solutions to the questions and keywords, providing guidance on specific actions and services. When a user inputs simple questions or keywords, the insurance support system proposes explanations and solutions for the keywords. If the user wishes to take specific actions or receive specific services, the system provides guidance on related companies and services. For example, the user inputs specific questions such as "how to purchase earthquake insurance" or "necessary expenses for education insurance." This information is input to the generation AI. The insurance support system then analyzes the input questions and keywords and proposes explanations and solutions. For example, for "how to purchase earthquake insurance," the system provides basic information about earthquake insurance and the process for purchasing insurance. For "necessary expenses for education insurance," the system provides detailed information about the types of education insurance and their respective costs. Furthermore, if the user wishes to take specific actions or receive specific services, the generation AI provides guidance on related companies and services. For example, for "how to purchase earthquake insurance," the system provides a list of insurance companies offering earthquake insurance and their contact information. For "necessary expenses for education insurance," the system provides comparative information on insurance companies and plans offering education insurance. This allows the insurance support system to provide users with appropriate solutions to insurance-related problems, necessary expenses, and introductions to insurance providers simply by inputting a simple question or keyword. This allows the insurance support system to provide efficient insurance support and consulting, quickly resolving users' problems. For example, if a user asks about illness insurance, the generation AI will explain the types of illness insurance, how to apply, and necessary expenses, and will provide information on relevant insurance companies. Similarly, if a user asks about fire insurance, the AI will explain basic information about fire insurance, application procedures, and costs, and will provide information on insurance companies that offer fire insurance.
[0029] The insurance support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a guidance unit. The reception unit receives questions or keywords from a user. The questions or keywords from the user may be in text format, audio format, or related to a specific topic, but are not limited to these examples. The reception unit may receive text entered by a user. The reception unit may also receive audio input. The reception unit may also receive image input. For example, the reception unit may analyze the text entered by the user and convert it into an appropriate format. The analysis unit may use a generation AI to analyze the questions or keywords received by the reception unit and propose an explanation or a response. The analysis may be performed using, for example, natural language processing technology or a machine learning algorithm, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the analysis unit may use a generation AI to generate an appropriate answer to the user's question. The analysis unit may also use the generation AI to suggest related information based on the user's keywords. The analysis unit may also use the generation AI to suggest a response to the user's question or keywords. For example, the analysis unit may use natural language processing technology to analyze the user's question and generate an appropriate response. The machine learning algorithm learns from past data and suggests optimal answers to the user's questions. The guidance unit suggests specific actions or services based on the explanations or response methods suggested by the analysis unit. The guidance is performed, for example, by providing information on related companies and services, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the guidance unit displays a list of companies that provide the services desired by the user. The guidance unit can also provide contact information for the services desired by the user. The guidance unit can also provide detailed information about the services desired by the user. For example, the guidance unit displays contact information for related companies so that the user can contact them directly. The guidance unit provides detailed information about related services to help the user select a service. As a result, the insurance support system according to the embodiment can suggest appropriate explanations and response methods for the user's questions and keywords, and suggest specific actions and services.Some or all of the above-described processing in the guidance unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the guidance unit may use the generation AI to suggest the optimal service for the user's question.
[0030] The reception unit can analyze the user's past question history and select an appropriate reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests question formats that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also select a reception method appropriate for a specific time period from the user's past question history. The reception unit can also automatically display keywords that the user has frequently used in the past as candidates. In this way, the optimal reception method can be selected by analyzing the user's past question history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can use a generation AI to analyze the user's past question history and select the optimal reception method.
[0031] When receiving questions and keywords, the reception unit can filter them based on the user's current insurance contract status and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives questions related to insurance that the user has already signed up for. The reception unit can also automatically filter related keywords based on the user's areas of interest. The reception unit can also suggest an appropriate question format taking into account the user's insurance contract status. This makes it possible to provide highly relevant information by filtering based on the user's insurance contract status and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can use a generation AI to perform filtering based on the user's insurance contract status and areas of interest.
[0032] When receiving a question or keyword, the reception unit can select an appropriate reception means according to the user's input method. For example, if the user selects voice input, the reception unit causes the generation AI to use voice recognition technology to receive the question. Furthermore, if the user selects text input, the reception unit can also cause the generation AI to use text analysis technology to receive the question. Furthermore, if the user selects image input, the reception unit can also cause the generation AI to use image analysis technology to receive the question. This improves user convenience by selecting the optimal reception means according to the user's input method. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit can use the generation AI to select an appropriate reception means according to the user's input method.
[0033] When receiving questions or keywords, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant information by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize receiving insurance information related to that area. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving questions about insurance specific to that area based on the user's geographical location information. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving insurance information related to the user's travel destination when the user is traveling.

For example, the reception unit can use a generation AI to prioritize receiving highly relevant information by taking into account the user's geographical location information.
[0034] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving questions or keywords and receive related information. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving questions about insurance mentioned by the user on social media. The reception unit can also automatically filter related insurance information based on the user's social media activity. The reception unit can also receive related insurance information by referring to the activity of the user's friends on social media. In this way, related information can be provided by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and receive related information using a generation AI.
[0035] The reception unit can customize the reception method by reflecting the user's past feedback when receiving a question or keyword. The reception unit, for example, suggests an optimal question format based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The reception unit can also improve the reception method by reflecting the user's past feedback. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest reception methods that the user has previously preferred. In this way, the optimal reception method can be provided by reflecting the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can customize the reception method by using a generation AI to reflect the user's past feedback.
[0036] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the question or keywords. For example, the analysis unit can have the generation AI perform a detailed analysis of a question with a high level of importance. The analysis unit can also have the generation AI perform a concise analysis of a question with a low level of importance. The analysis unit can also have the generation AI adjust the depth of the analysis according to the importance of the question. This makes it possible to provide appropriate analysis results by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the question or keywords. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or can be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can use the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the question or keywords.
[0037] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the question or keywords.

[0055] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0056] Step 1: The reception unit receives a question or keyword from the user. The question or keyword from the user may be in text format, audio format, or related to a specific topic. For example, the reception unit receives text, audio, or images entered by the user and converts them into an appropriate format. Step 2: The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the question or keywords received by the reception unit and propose an explanation or response. The analysis is performed using natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms. For example, it generates an appropriate answer to the user's question or suggests related information based on keywords. Step 3: The guidance unit guides the user to specific actions or services based on the explanation or response method proposed by the analysis unit. For example, it provides information on related companies and services, and displays a list of companies that provide the service the user desires, as well as contact information and detailed information.
[0057] (Example 2) An insurance support system according to an embodiment of the present invention accepts questions and keywords from users, and a generation AI proposes explanations and solutions to the questions and keywords, providing guidance on specific actions and services. When a user inputs simple questions or keywords, the insurance support system proposes explanations and solutions for the keywords. If the user wishes to take specific actions or receive specific services, the system provides guidance on related companies and services. For example, the user inputs specific questions such as "how to purchase earthquake insurance" or "necessary expenses for education insurance." This information is input to the generation AI. The insurance support system then analyzes the input questions and keywords and proposes explanations and solutions. For example, for "how to purchase earthquake insurance," the system provides basic information about earthquake insurance and the process for purchasing insurance. For "necessary expenses for education insurance," the system provides detailed information about the types of education insurance and their respective costs. Furthermore, if the user wishes to take specific actions or receive specific services, the generation AI provides guidance on related companies and services. For example, for "how to purchase earthquake insurance," the system provides a list of insurance companies offering earthquake insurance and their contact information. For "necessary expenses for education insurance," the system provides comparative information on insurance companies and plans offering education insurance. This allows the insurance support system to provide users with appropriate solutions to insurance-related problems, necessary expenses, and introductions to insurance providers simply by inputting a simple question or keyword. This allows the insurance support system to provide efficient insurance support and consulting, quickly resolving users' problems. For example, if a user asks about illness insurance, the generation AI will explain the types of illness insurance, how to apply, and necessary expenses, and will provide information on relevant insurance companies. Similarly, if a user asks about fire insurance, the AI will explain basic information about fire insurance, application procedures, and costs, and will provide information on insurance companies that offer fire insurance.
[0058] The insurance support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a guidance unit. The reception unit receives questions or keywords from a user. The questions or keywords from the user may be in text format, audio format, or related to a specific topic, but are not limited to these examples. The reception unit may receive text entered by a user. The reception unit may also receive audio input. The reception unit may also receive image input. For example, the reception unit may analyze the text entered by the user and convert it into an appropriate format. The analysis unit may use a generation AI to analyze the questions or keywords received by the reception unit and propose an explanation or a response. The analysis may be performed using, for example, natural language processing technology or a machine learning algorithm, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the analysis unit may use a generation AI to generate an appropriate answer to the user's question. The analysis unit may also use the generation AI to suggest related information based on the user's keywords. The analysis unit may also use the generation AI to suggest a response to the user's question or keywords. For example, the analysis unit may use natural language processing technology to analyze the user's question and generate an appropriate response. The machine learning algorithm learns from past data and suggests optimal answers to the user's questions. The guidance unit suggests specific actions or services based on the explanations or response methods suggested by the analysis unit. The guidance is performed, for example, by providing information on related companies and services, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the guidance unit displays a list of companies that provide the services desired by the user. The guidance unit can also provide contact information for the services desired by the user. The guidance unit can also provide detailed information about the services desired by the user. For example, the guidance unit displays contact information for related companies so that the user can contact them directly. The guidance unit provides detailed information about related services to help the user select a service. As a result, the insurance support system according to the embodiment can suggest appropriate explanations and response methods for the user's questions and keywords, and suggest specific actions and services.Some or all of the above-described processing in the guidance unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the guidance unit may use the generation AI to suggest the optimal service for the user's question.
[0059] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions and keywords based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can cause the generation AI to temporarily delay receiving questions, providing time for the user to relax. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can cause the generation AI to quickly accept questions, promoting smooth dialogue. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can cause the generation AI to immediately accept questions and provide a prompt response. This allows for more appropriate responses by adjusting the timing of receiving questions and keywords according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions using the generation AI.
[0060] The reception unit can analyze the user's past question history and select an appropriate reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests question formats that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also select a reception method appropriate for a specific time period from the user's past question history. The reception unit can also automatically display keywords that the user has frequently used in the past as candidates.

[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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."
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
