[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A call summary system according to an embodiment of the present invention records calls from users, analyzes the call content, and provides a summary in chat format. In this system, a user initiates a call from the AI phone menu of an app. When the call ends, a recording file is generated and provided in chat format. Next, the AI analyzes the call content and generates a one-line summary corresponding to the overall theme of the call, a detailed summary of the call by paragraph, and a representative tag for each call. Furthermore, the AI also suggests patterns related to dates, phone numbers, account numbers, and other references mentioned during the call. For example, when a user calls a friend, the call summary system initiates the call from the AI phone menu of the app, and automatically generates a recording file when the call ends. The generated recording file is then provided in chat format, with the call content displayed in text format. Furthermore, the AI analyzes the call content and generates a one-line summary corresponding to the overall theme of the call. For example, if the call content is about "travel plans," the AI generates a one-line summary such as "We talked about travel plans." The AI also generates detailed summaries of phone calls by paragraph. For example, if a caller talks about "travel destinations" at the beginning, "accommodation" in the middle, and "transportation" at the end, a detailed summary corresponding to each paragraph will be generated. Furthermore, the AI generates representative tags for each call, such as "travel," "accommodation," and "transportation." Finally, the AI also makes suggestions based on patterns mentioned during the call, such as dates, phone numbers, and account numbers, suggesting, for example, "We have plans to meet next Monday." By analyzing and summarizing call content, the call summary system can provide new telephone services and support efficient communication for users. The call summary system automatically summarizes user call content to support efficient communication. For example, users can easily review call content and manage it without missing important information. Furthermore, call summaries are provided in chat format, allowing users to easily search through call content and quickly obtain the information they need.
[0029] A call summarizing system according to an embodiment includes a recording unit, an analysis unit, a summarizing unit, and a providing unit. The recording unit records a call from a user. For example, the recording unit starts recording simultaneously with the start of the call. The recording unit can also stop recording simultaneously with the end of the call and generate a recording file. The recording unit also has a function for adjusting the quality of the recording. For example, the recording unit can dynamically adjust the quality of the recording depending on the content of the call. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the call recorded by the recording unit. For example, the analysis unit generates text data of the content of the call and extracts the theme and important information of the content of the call. The analysis unit can also analyze the context of the content of the call and extract important keywords. The analysis unit can also analyze the emotional tone of the content of the call and visualize changes in emotion. The summarizing unit generates a summary based on the content of the call analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the summarizing unit generates a one-line summary corresponding to the theme of the content of the call. The summarizing unit can also generate a detailed summary of the call by paragraph. Furthermore, the summarizing unit generates a representative tag for each call, allowing the call content to be easily searched by the tag. The providing unit provides the summary generated by the summarizing unit in a chat format. The providing unit, for example, displays the generated summary in a text format, allowing the user to easily check the call content. The providing unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the summary based on the estimated emotions. As a result, the call summarizing system according to the embodiment can efficiently record, analyze, summarize, and provide the user's call content. For example, the user can easily check the call content and manage it without missing important information. Furthermore, since the call content summary is provided in a chat format, the user can easily search the call content and quickly obtain necessary information.
[0030] The analysis unit can generate a one-line summary corresponding to the theme of the call content. For example, the analysis unit generates text data of the call content and extracts the theme of the call content. For example, if the call content is about "travel plans," the analysis unit generates a one-line summary such as "We talked about travel plans." The analysis unit can also extract important information from the call content and reflect it in the one-line summary. For example, the analysis unit can select particularly important information from the call content and generate a one-line summary based on that information. This allows the theme of the call content to be concisely understood. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the text data of the call content into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a process to extract the theme of the call content.
[0031] The analysis unit can generate a detailed summary of each paragraph of a call. For example, the analysis unit generates text data of the call content and generates a detailed summary for each paragraph of the call. For example, if the first part of the call talks about "travel destinations," the middle part talks about "accommodations," and the last part talks about "transportation," the analysis unit generates a detailed summary for each paragraph. The analysis unit can also analyze the context of the call content and extract important information for each paragraph. For example, the analysis unit can select particularly important information from the call content and generate a detailed summary for each paragraph based on that information. This allows the call content to be understood in detail for each paragraph. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the text data of the call content into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a process of generating a detailed summary for each paragraph.
[0032] The analysis unit can generate representative tags for each call. For example, the analysis unit generates text data of the call content and generates representative tags based on the call content. For example, the analysis unit generates tags for call content such as "travel," "accommodation," and "transportation." The analysis unit can also extract important information from the call content and generate representative tags based on that information. For example, the analysis unit picks out particularly important information from the call content and generates representative tags based on that information. This allows the call content to be easily searched by tag. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input text data of the call content into a generation AI and have the generation AI execute a process to generate representative tags.
[0033] The analysis unit can make suggestions based on patterns of dates, phone numbers, or account numbers mentioned during a call. For example, the analysis unit generates text data of the call content and extracts patterns of dates, phone numbers, account numbers, etc. mentioned during the call. For example, if "Let's meet next Monday" is mentioned during a call, the analysis unit can make a suggestion such as "We have plans to meet next Monday." The analysis unit can also extract important information from the call content and make suggestions based on that information. For example, the analysis unit can select particularly important information from the call content and make suggestions based on that information. This allows for efficient management of important information during a call. Some or all of the above-described processing by the analysis unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the text data of the call content into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a process to extract patterns of dates, phone numbers, and account numbers.
[0034] The providing unit can provide the generated summary in a chat format. For example, the providing unit can display the generated summary in a text format, allowing the user to easily check the contents of the call. For example, the providing unit can display the generated summary in a chat format, allowing the user to easily search the contents of the call. The providing unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the summary based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the providing unit can provide a simple, highly visible display method. If the user is relaxed, the providing unit can also provide a display method including detailed information. This allows the user to easily check the contents of the call by providing the summary in a chat format. Some or all of the above-described processing in the providing unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the generated summary to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to display it in a chat format.
[0035] The recording unit can dynamically adjust the quality of the recording depending on the content of the call. For example, if the content of the call is business-related, the recording unit performs high-quality recording. Alternatively, if the content of the call is a private conversation, the recording unit can perform standard-quality recording. Furthermore, if the content of the call contains important information, the recording unit can perform highest-quality recording. This makes it possible to provide optimal recording quality depending on the content of the call. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input text data of the content of the call to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform processing to dynamically adjust the quality of the recording.
[0036] The recording unit can automatically filter background noise during a call to record clear audio. For example, the recording unit can analyze background noise during a call in real time and remove noise. The recording unit can also filter sounds in a specific frequency band during a call to record clear audio. Furthermore, the recording unit can reduce environmental noise during a call and emphasize the speaker's voice. This allows for clear audio recording by filtering background noise. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input audio data during a call to a generation AI and have the generation AI filter the background noise.
[0037] The recording unit can automatically mark and emphasize important parts of a call during recording. For example, the recording unit can detect keywords during a call and emphasize those parts before recording. The recording unit can also automatically mark the speaker's tone and emphasized parts during a call. Furthermore, the recording unit can detect important phrases or sentences during a call and mark them for easy later retrieval. This allows for easy later retrieval by highlighting important parts of the call. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input audio data during a call into a generation AI and have the generation AI mark important parts.
[0038] The recording unit can automatically divide the recording based on the content of the call during recording. For example, the recording unit divides the recording each time the content of the call changes to a different topic. The recording unit can also divide the recording for each important part of the call. Furthermore, the recording unit can divide the recording at regular intervals depending on the elapsed time of the call. By dividing the recording based on the content of the call, later search and playback become easier. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input text data of the content of the call into a generation AI and have the generation AI divide the recording.
[0039] The recording unit can identify the voice of the other party during a call and record it separately. For example, the recording unit can separate the voice of each speaker during a call and record it separately. The recording unit can also identify the voice of each speaker during a call and save the voice of each speaker in a separate file. Furthermore, the recording unit can analyze the voice of each speaker during a call in real time and record it separately. This allows the voice of the other party during a call to be recorded separately, making it easier to analyze and play back later. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input audio data during a call into a generation AI and have the generation AI identify the speaker's voice and record it separately.
[0040] The recording unit can automatically select a recording format based on the content of the call when recording. For example, if the content of the call is business-related, the recording unit records in a high-quality format. The recording unit can also record in a standard-quality format if the content of the call is a private conversation. Furthermore, if the content of the call contains important information, the recording unit can also record in the highest-quality format. This improves the quality of the recording by selecting the optimal recording format based on the content of the call. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input text data of the content of the call to a generation AI and have the generation AI select the recording format.
[0041] The analysis unit can analyze the context of the call content and extract important keywords. The analysis unit, for example, generates text data of the call content and analyzes the context of the call content. The analysis unit can also extract particularly important keywords from the call content. Furthermore, the analysis unit can refer to related background information to understand the context of the call content. In this way, important keywords can be extracted by analyzing the context of the call content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the text data of the call content to a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the context and extract keywords.
[0042] The analysis unit can analyze the emotional tone of the call content and visualize changes in emotion. The analysis unit, for example, generates text data of the call content and analyzes the emotional tone of the call content. The analysis unit can also analyze the emotional tone of the speaker during the call in real time and display it in a graph. Furthermore, the analysis unit can visualize changes in emotion during the call in chronological order. In this way, by analyzing the emotional tone of the call content, changes in emotion can be visualized. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the text data of the call content to a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze and visualize the emotional tone.
[0043] The analysis unit can analyze the speech time of each speaker in the call content and calculate the speaker's speech ratio. The analysis unit, for example, generates text data of the call content and analyzes the speech time of each speaker in the call content. The analysis unit can also display the speech time of each speaker during the call in a graph. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the speech ratio of each speaker during the call and evaluate the balance. In this way, the speech ratio of each speaker can be calculated by analyzing the speech time of each speaker in the call content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the text data of the call content to a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the speech time and calculate the speech ratio.
[0044] The analysis unit can automatically identify the language of the call content and apply an appropriate language analysis algorithm. For example, the analysis unit can automatically identify the language of the call content and apply an appropriate language analysis algorithm. The analysis unit can also identify multiple languages used in the call and apply an appropriate analysis algorithm for each. Furthermore, the analysis unit can identify the language of the call content in real time and dynamically switch the analysis algorithm. This enables appropriate analysis by automatically identifying the language of the call content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input audio data of the call content to a generation AI and have the generation AI identify the language and apply the analysis algorithm.
[0045] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to background information of the call content. For example, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to background information of the call content. The analysis unit can also perform analysis by referring to background information related to a specific topic during the call. Furthermore, the analysis unit can automatically acquire and analyze related background information to understand the context of the call content. As a result, the accuracy of the analysis is improved by referring to the background information of the call content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input text data of the call content into the generation AI and have the generation AI refer to and analyze the background information.
[0046] The analysis unit can convert the voice data of the call content into text data and perform text analysis. For example, the analysis unit can convert the voice data of the call content into text data in real time. The analysis unit can also convert the voice data of the call content into text data and extract keywords. Furthermore, the analysis unit can convert the voice data of the call content into text data and analyze the context. This makes it possible to perform text analysis by converting the voice data into text data. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the voice data of the call content into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform conversion to text data and text analysis.
[0047] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can adjust the level of detail of the summary based on the importance of the call content. For example, if the call content is important, the summarization unit can provide a detailed summary. If the call content is general, the summarization unit can also provide a standard summary. Furthermore, if the call content is minor, the summarization unit can also provide a concise summary. In this way, an appropriate summary can be provided by adjusting the level of detail of the summary based on the importance of the call content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the summarization unit can input text data of the call content into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform processing to adjust the level of detail of the summary.
[0048] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can apply different summarization algorithms depending on the category of the call content. For example, in the case of a business-related call, the summarization unit can apply a business summarization algorithm. In addition, in the case of a private call, the summarization unit can also apply a private summarization algorithm. Furthermore, in the case of an academic call, the summarization unit can also apply an academic summarization algorithm. In this way, an appropriate summary is provided by applying a summarization algorithm depending on the category of the call content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the summarization unit can input text data of the call content into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to apply a summarization algorithm depending on the category.
[0049] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can improve the accuracy of the summary by referring to the user's past summarization results. For example, the summarization unit can improve the accuracy of the summary by referring to the user's past summarization results. The summarization unit can also learn specific patterns from the user's past summarization results and improve the accuracy of the summary. Furthermore, the summarization unit can adjust the summarization algorithm based on the user's past summarization results. In this way, the accuracy of the summary is improved by referring to the user's past summarization results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the summarization unit can input the user's past summarization results into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform processing to improve the accuracy of the summary.
[0050] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can determine the priority of summaries based on the submission time of the call content. For example, the summarization unit prioritizes summarization of call content with an upcoming submission deadline. The summarization unit can also postpone summarization of call content with a more distant submission deadline. Furthermore, the summarization unit can adjust the level of detail of the summary based on the submission time. In this way, by determining the priority of summaries based on the submission time of the call content, summaries are provided at an appropriate time. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the summarization unit can input text data of the call content into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a process of determining the priority of summaries based on the submission time.
[0051] When generating a summary, the summarization unit can adjust the order of summaries based on the relevance of the call content. For example, the summarization unit prioritizes summarization of highly relevant call content. The summarization unit can also postpone summarization of less relevant call content.

It also generates a representative tag for each call, making it easy to search for the call content by tag. Step 4: The providing unit provides the summary generated by the summarizing unit in a chat format. The providing unit displays the generated summary in a text format so that the user can easily check the contents of the call. The providing unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the summary based on the estimated emotions.
[0068] (Example 2) A call summary system according to an embodiment of the present invention records calls from users, analyzes the call content, and provides a summary in chat format. In this system, a user initiates a call from the AI phone menu of an app. When the call ends, a recording file is generated and provided in chat format. Next, the AI analyzes the call content and generates a one-line summary corresponding to the overall theme of the call, a detailed summary of the call by paragraph, and a representative tag for each call. Furthermore, the AI also suggests patterns related to dates, phone numbers, account numbers, and other references mentioned during the call. For example, when a user calls a friend, the call summary system initiates the call from the AI phone menu of the app, and automatically generates a recording file when the call ends. The generated recording file is then provided in chat format, with the call content displayed in text format. Furthermore, the AI analyzes the call content and generates a one-line summary corresponding to the overall theme of the call. For example, if the call content is about "travel plans," the AI generates a one-line summary such as "We talked about travel plans." The AI also generates detailed summaries of phone calls by paragraph. For example, if a caller talks about "travel destinations" at the beginning, "accommodation" in the middle, and "transportation" at the end, a detailed summary corresponding to each paragraph will be generated. Furthermore, the AI generates representative tags for each call, such as "travel," "accommodation," and "transportation." Finally, the AI also makes suggestions based on patterns mentioned during the call, such as dates, phone numbers, and account numbers, suggesting, for example, "We have plans to meet next Monday." By analyzing and summarizing call content, the call summary system can provide new telephone services and support efficient communication for users. The call summary system automatically summarizes user call content to support efficient communication. For example, users can easily review call content and manage it without missing important information.

[0075] The recording unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the start timing of recording based on the estimated user emotion. For example, the recording unit estimates the user's emotion and adjusts the start timing of recording based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user is nervous, the recording unit starts recording a few seconds after the call begins. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the recording unit can start recording at the same time as the call begins. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the recording unit can prepare for recording before the call begins and start recording at the same time as the call begins. This allows for more appropriate recording by adjusting the start timing of recording according to the user's emotion. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the recording unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a process to adjust the start timing of recording.
[0076] The recording unit can dynamically adjust the quality of the recording depending on the content of the call.

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.

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 area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[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). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.

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.
