[0101] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0102] The analysis unit can analyze the user's driving style and customize the analysis results. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the user's past driving style and provide analysis results based on that style the next time the user drives. The analysis unit can also emphasize specific driving actions depending on the user's driving style. For example, for a user who frequently brakes suddenly, detailed information about the timing and strength of braking can be provided. This allows for more appropriate driving assistance by providing analysis results that are tailored to the user's driving style.
[0103] The visualization unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display content based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the visualization unit can provide more detailed information to give the user a sense of security. If the user is relaxed, the visualization unit can simplify the display content and provide only the minimum necessary information. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the display content can be made more interactive to attract the user's interest. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by providing display content according to the user's emotions.
[0104] The feedback receiving unit can analyze user feedback in real time and immediately make suggestions for improvement. For example, if a user feels anxious while driving, the feedback can be immediately analyzed and suggestions can be made to reduce that anxiety the next time the user drives. Also, if a user is dissatisfied with a particular function, the feedback can be used to suggest improvements to the function. Furthermore, if a user experiences difficulty in a particular driving situation, driving assistance appropriate to that situation can be suggested. This allows for faster response by analyzing user feedback in real time and immediately making suggestions for improvement.
[0105] The improvement unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of improvements based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling strong anxiety, improvements to reduce that anxiety are prioritized. Also, if the user is satisfied, improvements can be made to maintain that satisfaction. Furthermore, if the user is excited, new functions that take advantage of that excitement can be proposed. In this way, by determining the priority of improvements according to the user's emotions, more effective improvements are possible.
[0106] The analysis unit can integrate in-vehicle sensor data to improve the accuracy of the analysis. For example, in-vehicle camera data can be integrated into the analysis to take the driver's condition into account. In-vehicle temperature sensor data can also be integrated into the analysis to maintain a comfortable driving environment. Furthermore, in-vehicle voice data can be integrated into the analysis to reflect the driver's instructions. In this way, by integrating in-vehicle sensor data, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved.
[0107] The visualization unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of visualization based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the visualization unit can provide information at an earlier timing to give the user a sense of security. Also, if the user is relaxed, the visualization unit can delay the timing of providing information and provide only the minimum amount of information necessary. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the visualization unit can adjust the timing of providing information to attract the user's interest. In this way, by adjusting the timing of providing information according to the user's emotions, more appropriate information can be provided.
[0108] The feedback receiving unit can reflect the user's feedback in subsequent analyses. For example, if the user is dissatisfied with a particular driving behavior, the analysis algorithm can be adjusted based on that feedback. Also, if the user gives a high rating to a particular function, an analysis can be performed to enhance that function. Furthermore, if the user experiences difficulty in a particular driving situation, an analysis can be performed that is tailored to that situation. This allows for more appropriate driving assistance by improving the analysis results based on user feedback.
[0109] The analysis unit can predict future behavior by referring to past driving data. For example, it can predict behavior at a specific intersection based on past driving data. It can also predict speed adjustments on a specific road based on past driving data. It can also predict behavior under specific weather conditions based on past driving data. Thus, by referring to past driving data, it is possible to more accurately predict future behavior.
[0110] The visualization unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the visualization method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the visualization unit can provide more detailed information to give a sense of security. If the user is relaxed, the visualization unit can simplify the display content and provide only the minimum necessary information. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the display content can be made more interactive to attract the user's interest. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by providing display content that corresponds to the user's emotions.
[0111] The analysis unit can include surrounding traffic conditions and weather information in the analysis. For example, it can analyze real-time traffic congestion information and reflect it in the vehicle's behavior. It can also analyze current weather information and adjust driving behavior in rainy weather. It can also analyze the movements of surrounding vehicles and predict actions to avoid collisions. By including surrounding traffic conditions and weather information in the analysis, it is possible to predict future behavior more accurately.
[0112] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0113] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the autonomous driving control content. For example, the analysis unit analyzes information such as what action the vehicle will take next and what route it will take. The analysis unit can also use the generation AI to analyze the autonomous driving control content in real time. For example, the generation AI predicts the next action and route based on the vehicle's sensor data and map information. Step 2: The visualization unit visualizes future actions based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the visualization unit displays the next action or route as an animation on an in-car display. The visualization unit can also use a generative AI to visualize future actions in a way that is understandable to the user. For example, the generative AI displays the next action or route as an animation based on the analysis results. Step 3: The feedback receiving unit receives the user's feedback. For example, the feedback receiving unit receives feedback by the user inputting it on a touch panel or by providing it by voice. The feedback receiving unit can also analyze the user's feedback using a generation AI. For example, the generation AI extracts information to improve the analysis results based on the user's feedback. Step 4: The improvement unit improves the analysis results based on the feedback received by the feedback receiving unit. For example, the improvement unit reflects the user's feedback in subsequent analyses. The improvement unit can also use the generation AI to improve the analysis results. For example, the generation AI adjusts the analysis algorithm based on the user's feedback.
[0114] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0115] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.
[0116] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0117] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.

[0166] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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).
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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."
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
