Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects audio and video recordings of babies and pets (e.g., dogs, cats, birds) and learns the emotions and symptoms that can be inferred from them. This system uses AI to input the cries and cries of babies and pets, analyze the audio data, and predict emotions such as "happy," "hungry," and "sleepy." Based on the predicted emotions, the system then provides feedback via an app or other means. For example, if the system predicts "hungry," it instructs the user to feed the baby or pet. If the baby or pet appears unwell, a video is recorded and input into the AI. Based on past cases, the AI ​​then easily analyzes suspected symptoms and provides information to determine whether a visit to the hospital is necessary. For example, if the AI ​​determines that the baby or pet appears unwell, it recommends a visit to the hospital. This allows the system to understand the emotions and health of important family members who cannot communicate verbally and take appropriate action. For example, if a baby is crying and the AI ​​predicts that the baby is hungry, it instructs the user to feed the baby. If the AI ​​determines that a pet appears unwell, it recommends a visit to the hospital. This will help protect the health of your baby and pets.

[0029] The system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a feedback unit. The collection unit collects audio or video. The collection unit can collect audio or video using, for example, a microphone or a camera. The collection unit can collect, for example, the sounds of a baby crying or a pet barking. The collection unit can also collect videos of babies or pets. The analysis unit analyzes the audio or video collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit can analyze the audio or video using, for example, an AI algorithm or model. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze audio data to predict emotions such as "happy," "hungry," or "sleepy." The analysis unit can also analyze video data to easily analyze suspected symptoms when the user appears unwell. The feedback unit provides feedback based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The feedback unit provides information to the user using, for example, an application or a notification system. For example, if the feedback unit predicts that the user is "hungry," the feedback unit instructs the user to feed the user. If the feedback unit determines that the user appears unwell, the feedback unit recommends that the user go to the hospital. As a result, the system according to the embodiment can collect, analyze, and provide feedback on audio and video to understand the emotions and symptoms of babies and pets and take appropriate action.

[0030] The collection unit can collect audio or video using a microphone or a camera. The collection unit collects audio using, for example, a microphone. For example, the collection unit can collect the sound of a baby crying or a pet barking. The collection unit can also collect video using a camera. For example, the collection unit can collect video of a baby or a pet. This makes it possible to collect audio or video using a microphone or a camera.

[0031] The analysis unit can analyze audio or video using an AI algorithm or model. The analysis unit can analyze audio data using, for example, deep learning. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a baby's cry and predict emotions such as "happy," "hungry," or "sleepy." The analysis unit can also analyze video data using a support vector machine. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a video of a pet and easily analyze suspected symptoms if the pet appears to be unwell. This improves the accuracy of audio and video analysis by using AI algorithms and models.

[0032] The feedback unit can provide information to the user using an application or a notification system. The feedback unit can provide information to the user using, for example, a smartphone app. For example, if the feedback unit predicts that the user is "hungry," it instructs the user to feed. The feedback unit can also provide information to the user using an email notification. For example, if the feedback unit determines that the user "looks unwell," it recommends that the user go to the hospital. The feedback unit can also provide information to the user using a push notification. For example, the feedback unit can notify the user of the analysis results in real time. This allows the user to be provided with information quickly using an application or a notification system.

[0033] The analysis unit can analyze symptoms using a case database. The analysis unit analyzes symptoms using, for example, past case data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a video of a pet and compare it with past case data to easily analyze suspected symptoms when the pet appears unwell. The analysis unit can also analyze symptoms using an SQL database. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a baby's cry and predict emotions by comparing it with past case data stored in an SQL database. The analysis unit can also analyze symptoms using a NoSQL database. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a pet's cry and predict emotions by comparing it with past case data stored in a NoSQL database. In this way, the use of a past case database improves the accuracy of symptom analysis.

[0034] The feedback unit can provide information for determining whether or not to go to the hospital based on the analysis results. The feedback unit provides information for determining whether or not to go to the hospital based on the analysis results. For example, the feedback unit analyzes a video of a pet and, if it is determined that the pet "looks unwell," recommends going to the hospital. The feedback unit can also analyze a baby's crying and, if it is determined that the baby "is hungry," instruct the user to feed the baby. The feedback unit can also evaluate the severity and urgency of symptoms based on the analysis results and provide information for determining whether or not to go to the hospital. For example, the feedback unit analyzes the pet's crying, evaluates the severity and urgency of symptoms, and recommends going to the hospital. This allows for appropriate action to be taken by providing information for determining whether or not to go to the hospital based on the analysis results.

[0035] The collection unit may add a filtering function that automatically removes environmental noise when collecting audio or video. For example, the collection unit filters background noise in real time when collecting audio. For example, when collecting a baby's crying, the collection unit removes background noise to obtain clear audio data. The collection unit may also automatically remove noise from video when collecting video. For example, when collecting a video of a pet, the collection unit removes noise from the video to obtain clear video data. The collection unit may also simultaneously filter noise from both audio and video when collecting both audio and video. For example, when collecting a baby's crying and video simultaneously, the collection unit removes noise from the audio and video to obtain high-quality data. In this way, clear audio and clear video data can be obtained by removing environmental noise.

[0036] When collecting audio or video, the collection unit can detect a specific behavior or facial expression of the target animal or baby and start collection. The collection unit can, for example, detect the moment a baby starts crying and start collecting audio. For example, the collection unit can detect the baby's cry and start collecting audio. The collection unit can also start collecting video when a dog performs a specific behavior (for example, wagging its tail). For example, the collection unit can detect the dog's behavior of wagging its tail and start collecting video. The collection unit can also start simultaneous collection of audio and video when a cat shows a specific facial expression (for example, squinting its eyes). For example, the collection unit can detect the cat's expression of squinting its eyes and start simultaneous collection of audio and video. In this way, by detecting specific behaviors and facial expressions, data can be collected without missing important moments.

[0037] The collection unit can automatically adjust the position of the collection device to ensure optimal collection conditions when collecting audio or video. The collection unit, for example, automatically adjusts the position of the camera. For example, the collection unit can adjust the position of the camera so that the baby's face is always within the frame. The collection unit can also automatically adjust the position of the microphone. For example, when collecting a baby's crying, the collection unit can adjust the position of the microphone to ensure optimal audio collection conditions. The collection unit can also automatically adjust the positions of both the camera and the microphone. For example, when collecting a baby's crying and video simultaneously, the collection unit can adjust the positions of the camera and microphone to obtain high-quality data. Thus, optimal collection conditions can be ensured by automatically adjusting the position of the collection device.

[0038] The collection unit can simultaneously collect biometric information of the target animal or baby when collecting audio or video. For example, the collection unit simultaneously measures the heart rate when collecting the baby's crying.

The collection unit can also simultaneously measure the body temperature when collecting the dog's bark. For example, the collection unit can measure the body temperature while collecting the dog's bark and acquire data. The collection unit can also simultaneously measure the breathing rate when collecting the cat's movements. For example, the collection unit can measure the breathing rate while collecting the cat's movements and acquire data. In this way, by simultaneously collecting biometric information, more detailed data can be acquired.

[0039] When collecting audio and video, the collection unit may adjust the collection method taking into account the remaining battery level of the collection device. For example, when the remaining battery level is low, the collection unit may shorten the collection time to prioritize collecting important data. For example, when the remaining battery level is low, the collection unit may shorten the collection time to prioritize collecting baby cries and pet barks. The collection unit may also maintain the normal collection method when the remaining battery level is sufficient. For example, when the remaining battery level is sufficient, the collection unit may collect audio and video of babies and pets using the normal collection method. The collection unit may also adjust the collection frequency when the remaining battery level is medium to efficiently collect data. For example, when the remaining battery level is medium, the collection unit may adjust the collection frequency to efficiently collect audio and video of babies and pets. This enables efficient data collection by taking the remaining battery level into account.

[0040] The collection unit can record location information of the collection device when collecting audio or video and add it to the collected data. For example, the collection unit automatically records location information of the collection device when collecting audio.

For example, the analysis unit can analyze the pattern of a cat's behavior to predict symptoms such as "not feeling well." In this way, by enhancing the algorithm that detects specific patterns, the accuracy of emotion and symptom prediction is improved.

[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past data of the target animal or baby. The analysis unit can improve the analysis accuracy by, for example, referring to past crying data of a baby. For example, the analysis unit can refer to past crying data of a baby and compare it with current crying data to predict emotions. The analysis unit can also improve the analysis accuracy by referring to past barking data of a dog. For example, the analysis unit can refer to past barking data of a dog and compare it with current barking data to predict emotions. The analysis unit can also improve the analysis accuracy by referring to past movement data of a cat. For example, the analysis unit can refer to past movement data of a cat and compare it with current movement data to predict symptoms. In this way, by referring to past data, the analysis accuracy is improved.

[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit updates the analysis results of the audio and video in real time, and can provide instant feedback to the user. For example, the analysis unit analyzes a baby's cry in real time and provides instant feedback. For example, the analysis unit can analyze a baby's cry in real time and provide instant feedback if it determines that the baby is "hungry." The analysis unit can also analyze a dog's bark in real time and provide instant feedback.

[0053] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0054] The analysis unit can learn the behavioral patterns of babies and pets based on the results of audio and video analysis and predict future behavior. For example, the analysis unit can learn the crying patterns of babies and, if they tend to cry at certain times of the day, suggest preventive measures for those times. The analysis unit can also learn the barking patterns of dogs and, if they tend to bark in certain situations, provide advice on how to avoid those situations. Furthermore, the analysis unit can learn the behavioral patterns of cats and, if certain behaviors are frequently observed, predict health risks associated with those behaviors and suggest preventive measures. This allows for more effective responses by learning behavioral patterns and predicting future behavior.

[0055] The collection unit can simultaneously collect biological information of the target animal or baby when collecting audio or video. For example, the collection unit can simultaneously measure the heart rate when collecting a baby's crying. The collection unit can also simultaneously measure the body temperature when collecting a dog's bark. Furthermore, the collection unit can also simultaneously measure the respiratory rate when collecting a cat's movements. By simultaneously collecting biological information, more detailed data can be obtained.

[0056] The feedback unit can provide specific behavioral instructions based on the analysis results when providing feedback. For example, based on the analysis results of a baby's cry, it can determine that the baby is hungry and instruct the user to feed the baby. Based on the analysis results of a dog's bark, it can determine that the dog is happy and instruct the user to set aside time to play. Furthermore, based on the analysis results of a cat's behavior, it can determine that the cat is not feeling well and instruct the user to take the cat to the vet. By providing specific behavioral instructions, the user can take appropriate action.

[0057] The collection unit can add a filtering function that automatically removes environmental noise when collecting audio or video. For example, background noise can be filtered in real time when collecting audio. When collecting a baby's cry, background noise can be removed to obtain clear audio data. Video noise can also be automatically removed when collecting video. When collecting a video of a pet, video noise can be removed to obtain clear video data. Furthermore, when collecting audio and video simultaneously, noise from both can be filtered simultaneously. When collecting a baby's cry and video simultaneously, noise from both the audio and video can be removed to obtain high-quality data. By removing environmental noise, clear audio and video data can be obtained.

[0058] During analysis, the analysis unit can detect specific patterns in audio or video to strengthen the algorithm that predicts emotions and symptoms. For example, the pattern of a baby's cry can be analyzed to strengthen the algorithm that predicts emotions such as "hungry." The tone and rhythm of a baby's cry can be analyzed to predict emotions such as "hungry." Also, the pattern of a dog's bark can be analyzed to strengthen the algorithm that predicts emotions such as "happy." The tone and rhythm of a dog's bark can be analyzed to predict emotions such as "happy." Furthermore, the pattern of a cat's behavior can be analyzed to strengthen the algorithm that predicts symptoms such as "not feeling well." The pattern of a cat's behavior can be analyzed to predict symptoms such as "not feeling well." In this way, by strengthening the algorithm that detects specific patterns, the accuracy of emotion and symptom prediction can be improved.

[0059] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past data of the target animal or baby. For example, the analysis accuracy can be improved by referring to past crying data of a baby. By referring to past crying data of a baby and comparing it with current crying data, emotions can be predicted. The analysis accuracy can also be improved by referring to past barking data of a dog. By referring to past barking data of a dog and comparing it with current barking data, emotions can be predicted.

Step 3: The feedback unit provides feedback based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The feedback unit provides information to the user using, for example, an application or a notification system. For example, if the feedback unit predicts that the user is "hungry," it instructs the user to feed the user. If the feedback unit determines that the user "seems unwell," it recommends that the user go to the hospital.

[0062] (Example 2) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects audio and video recordings of babies and pets (e.g., dogs, cats, birds) and learns the emotions and symptoms that can be inferred from them. This system uses AI to input the cries and cries of babies and pets, analyze the audio data, and predict emotions such as "happy," "hungry," and "sleepy." Based on the predicted emotions, the system then provides feedback via an app or other means. For example, if the system predicts "hungry," it instructs the user to feed the baby or pet. If the baby or pet appears unwell, a video is recorded and input into the AI. Based on past cases, the AI ​​then easily analyzes suspected symptoms and provides information to determine whether a visit to the hospital is necessary. For example, if the AI ​​determines that the baby or pet appears unwell, it recommends a visit to the hospital. This allows the system to understand the emotions and health of important family members who cannot communicate verbally and take appropriate action. For example, if a baby is crying and the AI ​​predicts that the baby is hungry, it instructs the user to feed the baby. If the AI ​​determines that a pet appears unwell, it recommends a visit to the hospital. This will help protect the health of your baby and pets.

The feedback unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, and provides information to the user through an application or a notification system based on the analysis results. === Hard Collateral 1-4 === Each of the multiple elements including the collection unit, analysis unit, and feedback unit described above is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit can collect audio and video of a baby or pet using the camera 42 or microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the collected audio and video using an AI algorithm or model. The feedback unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides information to the user through an application or a notification system based on the analysis results.

[0093] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0094] The analysis unit can learn the behavioral patterns of babies and pets based on the results of audio and video analysis and predict future behavior. For example, the analysis unit can learn the crying patterns of babies and, if they tend to cry at certain times of the day, suggest preventive measures for those times. The analysis unit can also learn the barking patterns of dogs and, if they tend to bark in certain situations, provide advice on how to avoid those situations. Furthermore, the analysis unit can learn the behavioral patterns of cats and, if certain behaviors are frequently observed, predict health risks associated with those behaviors and suggest preventive measures. This allows for more effective responses by learning behavioral patterns and predicting future behavior.

[0095] The collection unit can simultaneously collect biological information of the target animal or baby when collecting audio or video. For example, the collection unit can simultaneously measure the heart rate when collecting a baby's crying. The collection unit can also simultaneously measure the body temperature when collecting a dog's bark. Furthermore, the collection unit can also simultaneously measure the respiratory rate when collecting a cat's movements. By simultaneously collecting biological information, more detailed data can be obtained.

[0096] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way in which the analysis results are presented based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, the analysis unit can estimate emotions by analyzing the user's voice tone. If the user is nervous, simple and highly visible analysis results can be provided. The analysis unit can also estimate emotions by analyzing the user's facial expressions. If the user is relaxed, detailed analysis results can be provided. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also estimate emotions by analyzing the user's behavioral patterns. If the user is in a hurry, analysis results that are concise can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the way in which the analysis results are presented based on the user's emotions, analysis results that are easy for the user to understand can be provided.

[0097] The feedback unit can provide specific behavioral instructions based on the analysis results when providing feedback. For example, based on the analysis results of a baby's cry, it can determine that the baby is hungry and instruct the user to feed the baby. Based on the analysis results of a dog's bark, it can determine that the dog is happy and instruct the user to set aside time to play. Furthermore, based on the analysis results of a cat's behavior, it can determine that the cat is not feeling well and instruct the user to take the cat to the vet. By providing specific behavioral instructions, the user can take appropriate action.

[0098] The collection unit can add a filtering function that automatically removes environmental noise when collecting audio or video. For example, background noise can be filtered in real time when collecting audio. When collecting a baby's cry, background noise can be removed to obtain clear audio data. Video noise can also be automatically removed when collecting video. When collecting a video of a pet, video noise can be removed to obtain clear video data. Furthermore, when collecting audio and video simultaneously, noise from both can be filtered simultaneously. When collecting a baby's cry and video simultaneously, noise from both the audio and video can be removed to obtain high-quality data. By removing environmental noise, clear audio and video data can be obtained.

[0099] During analysis, the analysis unit can detect specific patterns in audio or video to strengthen the algorithm that predicts emotions and symptoms. For example, the pattern of a baby's cry can be analyzed to strengthen the algorithm that predicts emotions such as "hungry." The tone and rhythm of a baby's cry can be analyzed to predict emotions such as "hungry." Also, the pattern of a dog's bark can be analyzed to strengthen the algorithm that predicts emotions such as "happy." The tone and rhythm of a dog's bark can be analyzed to predict emotions such as "happy." Furthermore, the pattern of a cat's behavior can be analyzed to strengthen the algorithm that predicts symptoms such as "not feeling well." The pattern of a cat's behavior can be analyzed to predict symptoms such as "not feeling well." In this way, by strengthening the algorithm that detects specific patterns, the accuracy of emotion and symptom prediction can be improved.

[0100] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of audio and video collection based on the estimated user emotions. For example, the collection unit can estimate emotions by analyzing the user's voice tone. If the user is feeling stressed, the collection timing can be automatically adjusted to reduce the user's burden. The collection unit can also estimate emotions by analyzing the user's facial expressions. If the user is relaxed, the collection timing can be flexibly set to collect audio and video in natural situations. Furthermore, the collection unit can analyze the user's behavioral patterns to estimate emotions. If the user is in a hurry, the collection timing can be quickly set to quickly collect the necessary data. This allows more appropriate data collection by adjusting the collection timing based on the user's emotions.

[0101] The feedback unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the feedback based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, the user's voice tone can be analyzed to estimate the emotions. If the user is nervous, simple, highly visible feedback can be provided. The user's facial expressions can also be analyzed to estimate the emotions. If the user is relaxed, detailed feedback can be provided. Furthermore, the user's behavioral patterns can be analyzed to estimate the emotions. If the user is in a hurry, feedback that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the content of the feedback based on the user's emotions, optimal feedback can be provided to the user.

[0102] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past data of the target animal or baby. For example, the analysis accuracy can be improved by referring to past crying data of a baby. By referring to past crying data of a baby and comparing it with current crying data, emotions can be predicted. The analysis accuracy can also be improved by referring to past barking data of a dog. By referring to past barking data of a dog and comparing it with current barking data, emotions can be predicted. Furthermore, the analysis accuracy can also be improved by referring to past movement data of a cat. By referring to past movement data of a cat and comparing it with current movement data, symptoms can be predicted. In this way, by referring to past data, the analysis accuracy is improved.

[0103] The feedback unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of feedback based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, the user's voice tone can be analyzed to estimate emotions. If the user is feeling stressed, important feedback can be displayed with priority. The feedback unit can also analyze the user's facial expressions to estimate emotions. If the user is relaxed, regular feedback can be displayed with priority. Furthermore, the feedback unit can analyze the user's behavioral patterns to estimate emotions. If the user is in a hurry, urgent feedback can be displayed with priority. Thus, by determining the priority of feedback based on the user's emotions, important feedback can be displayed with priority.

[0104] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0105] Step 1: The collection unit collects audio or video. The collection unit can collect audio or video using, for example, a microphone or a camera. The collection unit can collect, for example, the crying of a baby or the barking of a pet. The collection unit can also collect videos of babies and pets. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the audio or video collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the audio or video using, for example, an AI algorithm or model. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the audio data and predicts emotions such as "happy," "hungry," or "sleepy." The analysis unit can also analyze the video data and easily analyze suspected symptoms if the person appears to be unwell. Step 3: The feedback unit provides feedback based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The feedback unit provides information to the user using, for example, an application or a notification system. For example, if the feedback unit predicts that the user is "hungry," it instructs the user to feed the user. If the feedback unit determines that the user "seems unwell," it recommends that the user go to the hospital.

[0106] 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 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 ​​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.

[0149] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0150] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0151] 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 processing 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also 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 perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0154] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0155] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0156] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0157] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0158] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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).

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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."

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.
