Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A design support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that performs a comprehensive process from collecting design data to generating designs, proposing materials, completing designs, learning, and improving efficiency. The design support system collects design data, and a generative AI generates design ideas, which the designer incorporates to complete the design. The generative AI also learns through discussions with the designer, streamlining the design process. For example, the design support system collects past design data and trend information, and the generative AI generates multiple design proposals based on the data. The designer selects the best design proposal from the generated proposals and adds their own ideas to complete the design. The generative AI then proposes material and color combinations suitable for the design, which the designer incorporates to complete the design. Furthermore, the generative AI revises the design ideas based on feedback from discussions with the designer, streamlining the design process. This allows the design support system to perform a comprehensive process from collecting design data to completing designs, learning, and improving efficiency. For example, a designer can quickly complete a design by incorporating design ideas and material proposals generated by the generative AI. The generative AI also provides better design direction through discussions with the designer, streamlining the design process.
[0029] A design support system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, a generation unit, an integration unit, a proposal unit, a completion unit, a learning unit, and an efficiency improvement unit. The collection unit collects design data. The design data includes, but is not limited to, image data, text data, and 3D model data. The collection unit can collect, for example, past design data and trend information. The generation unit generates design ideas based on the data collected by the collection unit. The generation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze past design data and trend information and generate multiple design proposals. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, and analyzes past design data to generate design ideas that match current trends. The integration unit allows a designer to incorporate the design ideas generated by the generation unit. For example, the integration unit selects the best design from the multiple design proposals generated by the generation AI, and the designer adds their own ideas to complete the design. The proposal unit suggests materials based on the design ideas generated by the generation unit. For example, the proposal unit uses the generation AI to suggest material and color combinations suitable for the design. The generation AI selects materials according to combinations based on color theory and the intended use. The completion unit completes the design based on the design ideas and materials incorporated by the incorporation unit. The completion unit, for example, uses the generation AI to make final adjustments to the design and complete the design. The learning unit allows the generation AI to learn through discussions with the designer based on the design completed by the completion unit. For example, the designer provides feedback to the generation AI in the learning unit, and the generation AI modifies the design idea based on that feedback. The efficiency unit improves the efficiency of the design process based on the information learned by the learning unit. For example, the efficiency unit improves the efficiency of the design process based on the learned information using the generation AI. As a result, the design support system according to the embodiment can consistently perform processes from collecting design data to completing the design, learning, and improving efficiency.
[0030] The collection unit can collect past design data or trend information. The collection unit, for example, collects past design data. Past design data includes data from a specific period or data from a specific project. The collection unit, for example, collects trend information. Trend information includes fashion trends and consumer preferences. By collecting past design data and trend information, a wider variety of design ideas can be generated. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit may input past design data and trend information into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to collect data.
[0031] The generation unit can generate multiple design proposals based on the collected data. The generation unit, for example, generates multiple design proposals based on the collected data. The generation unit can generate design proposals with different styles or different functions, for example. The generation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze the collected data and generate multiple design proposals. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, which analyzes past design data and generates design ideas that match current trends. This generates multiple design proposals, thereby providing designers with a variety of options. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input the collected data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate design proposals.
[0032] The suggestion unit can suggest combinations of materials and colors suitable for the design. The suggestion unit, for example, suggests combinations of materials and colors suitable for the design. The suggestion unit, for example, uses a generation AI to select materials based on color theory or according to the intended use. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, and suggests combinations of materials and colors suitable for the design. In this way, suggesting combinations of materials and colors suitable for the design improves the quality of the design. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the suggestion unit may input combinations of materials and colors suitable for the design into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to suggest materials and colors.
[0033] The learning unit can revise the design idea based on feedback through discussions with the designer. The learning unit, for example, revises the design idea based on feedback through discussions with the designer. For example, the designer provides feedback to the generation AI, and the generation AI revises the design idea based on that feedback. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, and revises the design idea based on feedback through discussions with the designer. In this way, the quality of the design is improved by revising the design idea based on feedback through discussions with the designer. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the learning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the learning unit can input the designer's feedback into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute revisions to the design idea.
[0034] The efficiency unit can improve the efficiency of the design process based on the learned information. The efficiency unit, for example, improves the efficiency of the design process based on the learned information. The efficiency unit, for example, uses a generation AI to improve the efficiency of the design process based on the learned information. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, and improves the efficiency of the design process based on the learned information. In this way, the efficiency of the design process is improved by improving the efficiency of the design based on the learned information. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the efficiency unit may be performed using an AI, for example, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the efficiency unit may input the learned information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the efficiency of the design process.
[0035] The collection unit can prioritize collecting data related to a specific theme or style from among past design data. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting data related to a specific theme or style from among past design data. For example, if a user selects a specific theme (e.g., minimalism), the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to that theme. For example, if a user selects a specific style (e.g., vintage), the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to that style. For example, if a user selects a specific color tone (e.g., monochrome), the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to that color tone. In this way, by preferentially collecting data related to a specific theme or style, the direction of the design is clarified. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit may input design data related to a specific theme or style into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to collect data.
[0036] The collection unit can filter the design data by taking into account the designer's past works and evaluations when collecting the design data. For example, the collection unit filters the data by taking into account the designer's past works and evaluations when collecting the design data. For example, if the designer's past works were highly rated, the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to those works. For example, if the designer's past works are biased toward a particular style, the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to that style. For example, if the designer's past works are related to a particular theme, the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to that theme. In this way, by filtering the data by taking into account the designer's past works and evaluations, more relevant design data can be collected. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit may input the designer's past works and evaluations into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to filter the data.
[0037] The collection unit can customize the scope of collection based on the designer's current project or area of interest when collecting design data. For example, the collection unit customizes the scope of collection based on the designer's current project or area of interest when collecting design data. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to the project the designer is currently working on. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data related to the designer's area of interest (e.g., eco-design). For example, if the designer is working for a specific client, the collection unit prioritizes collecting design data tailored to the client's needs. This allows for the collection of more relevant design data by customizing the scope of collection based on the designer's current project or area of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit may input the designer's current project or area of interest into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to customize the scope of collection.
[0038] The collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant data by taking geographical trend information into consideration when collecting design data. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting highly relevant data by taking geographical trend information into consideration when collecting design data. For example, the collection unit collects design styles that are popular in a specific region. For example, the collection unit collects colors and materials that are used in a specific region based on the geographical trend information. For example, the collection unit collects design themes that are popular in a specific region based on the geographical trend information. In this way, by prioritizing the collection of highly relevant data by taking geographical trend information into consideration, it is possible to provide design data that is specialized for a region. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the collection unit may input geographical trend information to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to collect data.
[0039] The collection unit can analyze social media trends and collect related data when collecting design data.

For example, the collection unit adjusts the collection method based on design data for which the designer has previously provided feedback. For example, the collection unit analyzes the designer's past feedback and proposes an optimal collection method. In this way, by customizing the collection method by reflecting the designer's past feedback, it is possible to provide design data that meets the designer's needs. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

For example, the generation unit adjusts the use of technical terminology in the ideas to be generated according to the expertise level of the designer at the time of generation. For example, if the expertise level of the designer is high, the generation unit generates design ideas that use a lot of technical terminology. For example, if the expertise level of the designer is low, the generation unit generates concise and easy-to-understand design ideas. For example, the generation unit adjusts the use of technical terminology in the ideas to be generated according to the expertise level of the designer. In this way, by adjusting the use of technical terminology in the ideas to be generated according to the expertise level of the designer, it is possible to provide design ideas that are suitable for the designer.

[0207] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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.
[0210] 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.
[0211] 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).
[0212] 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.
[0213] 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."
[0214] 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.
[0215] 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.

[0218] 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.
[0219] 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.
[0220] 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.
[0221] 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.
[0222] 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.
[0223] 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.
[0224] 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.
