[0052] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0053] When collecting data, the collection unit can customize the collection method based on the user's past behavioral data. For example, if the user frequently used a specific data source in the past, data from that data source can be collected preferentially. Also, if the user collected data during a specific time period in the past, data collection can be tailored to that time period. Furthermore, if the user preferred a specific data format in the past, data can be collected in that format. This allows for more efficient and customized data collection by reflecting the user's past behavioral data.

[0054] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the reliability of the data. For example, a detailed analysis can be performed on highly reliable data. A simplified analysis can be performed on less reliable data. Furthermore, the analysis priority can be adjusted according to the reliability of the data. This allows for efficient and accurate analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the reliability of the data.

[0055] When collecting data, the collection unit can integrate different data formats to improve the accuracy of collection. For example, text data, image data, audio data, etc. can be integrated to collect more comprehensive data. In addition, integrating different data formats can increase the mutual complementarity of the data and improve the accuracy of analysis. Furthermore, integrating different data formats ensures data diversity and allows for richer insights. As a result, integrating different data formats improves the accuracy of collection and enables more accurate analysis.

[0056] When collecting data, the collection unit can prioritize collection of region-specific data based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, weather data and market data for that region can be collected preferentially.

For example, data with a high correlation can be analyzed first, and data with a low correlation can be analyzed later. The analysis schedule can also be adjusted based on the correlation of data. Furthermore, by taking the correlation of data into consideration, the consistency of the analysis results can be improved. As a result, adjusting the order of analysis based on the correlation of data enables efficient and accurate analysis.

[0058] When making a recommendation, the recommendation unit can adjust the level of detail of the recommendation according to the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user has expertise, the recommendation unit can provide a recommendation that includes detailed technical information. On the other hand, if the user does not have expertise, the recommendation unit can provide a recommendation in simple language. Furthermore, the way the recommendation is expressed can be adjusted according to the user's level of expertise. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the recommendation according to the user's level of expertise, it is possible to provide a recommendation that is easy for the user to understand.

[0091] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0092] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis priority based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, only important data can be analyzed preferentially, reducing the user's burden. If the user is relaxed, detailed data analysis can be performed to provide deeper insights. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, simplified analysis can be performed to quickly provide analysis results. This allows for efficient and user-friendly analysis by adjusting the analysis priority according to the user's emotions.

[0093] When collecting data, the collection unit can customize the collection method based on the user's past behavioral data. For example, if the user frequently used a specific data source in the past, data from that data source can be collected preferentially. Also, if the user collected data during a specific time period in the past, data collection can be tailored to that time period. Furthermore, if the user preferred a specific data format in the past, data can be collected in that format. This allows for more efficient and customized data collection by reflecting the user's past behavioral data.

[0094] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the reliability of the data. For example, a detailed analysis can be performed on highly reliable data. A simplified analysis can be performed on less reliable data. Furthermore, the analysis priority can be adjusted according to the reliability of the data. This allows for efficient and accurate analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the reliability of the data.

[0095] The recommendation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of recommendations based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the frequency of recommendations can be reduced to reduce the user's burden. Also, if the user is relaxed, the frequency of recommendations can be increased and more detailed recommendations can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, only important recommendations can be provided preferentially. This allows for efficient and user-friendly recommendations by adjusting the timing of recommendations according to the user's emotions.

[0096] When collecting data, the collection unit can integrate different data formats to improve the accuracy of collection. For example, text data, image data, audio data, etc. can be integrated to collect more comprehensive data. In addition, integrating different data formats can increase the mutual complementarity of the data and improve the accuracy of analysis. Furthermore, integrating different data formats ensures data diversity and allows for richer insights. As a result, integrating different data formats improves the accuracy of collection and enables more accurate analysis.

[0097] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis visualization method based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, a simple, highly visible graph or chart can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a complex visualization including detailed data can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a simple visualization that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the analysis visualization method according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide analysis results that are easy for the user to understand.

[0098] When collecting data, the collection unit can prioritize collection of region-specific data based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, weather data and market data for that region can be collected preferentially. Data on agricultural practices and soil conditions in the region can also be collected based on the user's geographical location information. Furthermore, data on consumer purchasing trends in the region can be collected based on the user's geographical location information. This allows for more appropriate data collection by collecting highly relevant data taking the user's geographical location information into consideration.

[0099] The recommendation unit can estimate the user's emotions and customize the content of the recommendations based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can provide concise and easy-to-implement recommendations. If the user is relaxed, it can provide recommendations that include detailed background information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide short recommendations that get to the point. In this way, by customizing the content of the recommendations according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide the most suitable recommendations for the user.

[0100] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the correlation of data. For example, data with a high correlation can be analyzed first, and data with a low correlation can be analyzed later. The analysis schedule can also be adjusted based on the correlation of data. Furthermore, by taking the correlation of data into consideration, the consistency of the analysis results can be improved. As a result, adjusting the order of analysis based on the correlation of data enables efficient and accurate analysis.

[0101] When making a recommendation, the recommendation unit can adjust the level of detail of the recommendation according to the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user has expertise, the recommendation unit can provide a recommendation that includes detailed technical information. On the other hand, if the user does not have expertise, the recommendation unit can provide a recommendation in simple language. Furthermore, the way the recommendation is expressed can be adjusted according to the user's level of expertise. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the recommendation according to the user's level of expertise, it is possible to provide a recommendation that is easy for the user to understand.

[0102] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0103] Step 1: The collection unit collects market data and weather data. Market data includes price data, demand data, supply data, etc., and weather data includes temperature data, precipitation data, wind speed data, etc. The collection unit collects past market data, weather data, consumer purchasing trends, and other data. For example, it collects past price data, demand data, purchasing history data, and consumer survey results. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to predict market demand and climate fluctuations. The analysis is performed using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. For example, the analysis unit predicts market demand and analyzes climate fluctuations based on the collected data. Climate models and trend analysis of past weather data can be used. Step 3: The recommendation unit proposes optimal crop selection and planting timing based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, it can propose planting specific crops at specific times, or crop selection that responds to climate change. It can also propose crops that are highly cold-resistant or drought-resistant.

[0104] 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.

[0105] 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.

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.

[0106] 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.

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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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).

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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."

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.
