[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples.

In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) In an embodiment of the present invention, a document creation support system automatically selects photos and illustrations as candidates when a user simply inputs key points of content they want to include in their document. The system allows users to input key points, and AI analyzes the input and automatically selects appropriate photos and illustrations. The AI ​​selects images from a license-free image database that does not infringe copyright, rather than from the web. For example, the user inputs specific content such as "new product features" or "market analysis results." The system then analyzes the input content using AI and selects appropriate photos and illustrations. For example, for the input "new product features," the system selects images of the new product and related illustrations. Based on the analysis results, the system automatically selects appropriate photos and illustrations from a license-free image database. For example, for the input "market analysis results," the system selects illustrations of graphs and charts. The selected photos and illustrations are presented to the user, who can choose the most appropriate one. This unifies the documents and makes them easier to communicate. This allows the document creation support system to allow users to easily create documents and effectively communicate what they want to say. Furthermore, since there is no risk of infringing copyright, images can be used with peace of mind. For example, the system can be used in a variety of business situations, such as for business negotiation materials and internal reports.

[0029] A material creation support system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a selection unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives input from a user. The user input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. The reception unit provides, for example, a keyboard input interface for receiving text input. The reception unit can also provide a microphone input interface for receiving voice input. The reception unit can also provide a camera interface for receiving image input. For example, the reception unit receives text input from a user and transmits it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes the input content received by the reception unit using AI. The analysis is performed using, for example, natural language processing technology, but is not limited to, this example. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the input text and extracts information for selecting appropriate photos and illustrations. The analysis unit can also analyze the input images using image analysis technology. The analysis unit can also analyze the input data using data mining technology. For example, the analysis unit extracts keywords from the input text and generates information for selecting appropriate photos or illustrations based on the keywords. The selection unit selects appropriate images based on the content analyzed by the analysis unit. The selection is performed, for example, based on a similarity measure or an algorithm used, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the selection unit selects appropriate photos or illustrations from a license-free image database. The selection unit may also manage a history of previously used images and use this information when selecting. Furthermore, the selection unit may provide information about newly added images to the providing unit so that the latest images can be selected. For example, the selection unit selects images from the license-free image database and transmits them to the providing unit. The providing unit provides the images selected by the selection unit to the user. The provision is performed, for example, by displaying the images on a screen or providing a download link, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the providing unit displays thumbnails of the selected images to allow the user to select the most appropriate one.The providing unit can also learn based on user feedback and improve analysis accuracy. Furthermore, the providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the images to be provided based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the providing unit provides a simple, highly visible display method. This allows the material creation support system according to the embodiment to automatically select and provide appropriate images based on the content input by the user.

[0030] The selection unit can select an image from a license-free image database. Examples of license-free image databases include, but are not limited to, Pixabay and Unsplash. The selection unit can select an appropriate image from, for example, Pixabay. The selection unit can also select an appropriate image from Unsplash. The selection unit can also select an appropriate image from another license-free image database. For example, the selection unit transmits an image selected from Pixabay to the providing unit. This can avoid the risk of infringing copyright by using license-free images. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the selection unit can select an image using an AI model for selecting images from a license-free image database.

[0031] The providing unit presents the selected images to the user, allowing the user to select one. The presentation may be, for example, in a slideshow format or thumbnail display, but is not limited to these examples. The providing unit presents the selected images in a slideshow format, for example. The providing unit may also display the selected images as thumbnails, allowing the user to select the most suitable image. The providing unit may also display a list of the selected images, allowing the user to select from multiple images.

The analysis unit can also collect feedback by analyzing a usage log. The analysis unit can also collect feedback based on the user's operation history. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the history of images selected by the user to improve analysis accuracy. In this way, analysis accuracy is improved by utilizing user feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can improve analysis accuracy by using an AI model for learning based on feedback.

[0033] The selection unit can manage a history of images used in the past and use it when making a selection. The history can be managed using, for example, a database, but is not limited to such an example. For example, the selection unit stores a history of images used in the past in a database. The selection unit can also set a storage period for the history and delete the history after a certain period has passed. The selection unit can also select images based on the history. For example, the selection unit can refer to the history of images used in the past and select images of the same style if the materials are on the same theme. In this way, the accuracy of selection is improved by using the history of past images. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the selection unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the selection unit can select images using an AI model for managing the history of images used in the past.

[0034] The selection unit can provide information about new images added to the providing unit when they are added, allowing the latest image to be selected. New images are added, for example, by periodic database updates or user uploads, but examples are not limited to these. For example, the selection unit can periodically update a license-free image database and add new images. The selection unit can also accept user uploads and add new images to the database. The selection unit can also provide information about new images added to the providing unit when they are added, allowing the latest image to be selected. For example, the selection unit can transmit information about new images added to the providing unit, allowing the providing unit to present the latest images to the user. This allows the latest image to be selected, allowing the latest information to be always provided. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit can be performed, for example, using AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the selection unit can use an AI model to provide information about new images added to the providing unit, allowing the latest image to be selected.

[0035] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit can automatically display content that the user has frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and suggest content that will be used in a specific time period based on the user's past input history. For example, the reception unit stores the user's past input history in a database and analyzes it. This makes it possible to suggest the optimal input method for the user by utilizing the past input history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can suggest the optimal input method using an AI model for analyzing the past input history.

[0036] When receiving input, the reception unit can filter the input content based on the user's current project or area of ​​interest. For example, the reception unit prioritizes receiving content related to the project the user is currently working on. The reception unit can also automatically complete related keywords based on the user's area of ​​interest. The reception unit can also suggest related input content by referring to the user's past project history. For example, the reception unit acquires project information from the user's project management tool and filters the input content. This allows the input content to be filtered based on the user's project or area of ​​interest, thereby providing highly relevant information. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the reception unit can provide highly relevant information using an AI model for filtering the input content based on project information.

[0037] The reception unit can select a reception means according to the user's input method when receiving input. For example, if the user selects voice input, the reception unit can receive the input content using voice recognition technology. Furthermore, if the user selects text input, the reception unit can also preferentially receive keyboard input. Furthermore, if the user selects image input, the reception unit can analyze the input content using image recognition technology. For example, the reception unit provides the optimal reception means according to the user's input method. This improves input efficiency by providing the optimal reception means according to the user's input method. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can receive the input content using an AI model for receiving input content using voice recognition technology.

[0038] When receiving input, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant input content by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize receiving content related to that area. Furthermore, when the user is moving, the reception unit can also suggest related content based on the user's current location. Furthermore, when the user is in a specific location, the reception unit can prioritize receiving information related to that location. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's GPS data and filters the input content based on the geographical location information. This makes it possible to provide highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can provide highly relevant information using an AI model for filtering input content based on GPS data.

[0039] The reception unit may analyze the user's social media activity and receive related input content when receiving input. For example, the reception unit may suggest related input content based on content shared by the user on social media. The reception unit may also analyze the user's social media activity history and automatically complete related keywords. The reception unit may also suggest related input content based on the activities of the user's friends on social media. For example, the reception unit may acquire activity data from the user's social media account and filter the input content. This allows for providing highly relevant information based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit may provide highly relevant information using an AI model for filtering input content based on social media activity.

[0040] The reception unit can customize the reception method by reflecting the user's past feedback when receiving input. For example, the reception unit can suggest an optimal input method based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The reception unit can also analyze the user's past feedback and customize the input interface. The reception unit can also adjust the priority of input content by referring to the user's feedback history. For example, the reception unit stores and analyzes the user's feedback data in a database. This allows the optimal reception method to be provided by reflecting the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can provide the optimal reception method by using an AI model for customizing the reception method based on feedback data.

[0041] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the input content. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on important content. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on general content. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance specified by the user.

[0045] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the input content. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant content. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant content. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance specified by the user. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the relevance of the input content and adjusts the order of analysis. This enables efficient analysis by prioritizing analysis of highly relevant content. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can perform efficient analysis using an AI model for adjusting the order of analysis based on relevance.

[0046] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user is an expert, the analysis unit can provide analysis results that use a lot of technical terms. Furthermore, if the user is a general user, the analysis unit can also provide analysis results in simple language. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust the way in which the analysis results are presented based on the user's level of expertise. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the user's level of expertise and adjust the way in which the analysis results are presented. This improves understandability by providing analysis results that correspond to the user's level of expertise. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can provide easy-to-understand analysis results using an AI model for adjusting the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the level of expertise.

[0047] The selection unit can improve the accuracy of selection based on the interrelationships between images during selection. For example, the selection unit groups related images and selects the most appropriate image. The selection unit can also analyze the interrelationships between images and preferentially select highly related images. The selection unit can also improve the accuracy of selection by taking the interrelationships between images into consideration. For example, the selection unit evaluates co-occurrence relationships between images and selects highly related images. In this way, the accuracy of selection is improved by taking the interrelationships between images into consideration. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the selection unit can perform highly accurate image selection using an AI model for evaluating the interrelationships between images.

[0048] When selecting, the selection unit can make a selection based on attribute information of the image provider. For example, if the image provider is an expert, the selection unit can preferentially select the image. Furthermore, if the image provider is a general user, the selection unit can also preferentially select general images. Furthermore, the selection unit can select the optimal image by taking into account the attribute information of the image provider. For example, the selection unit evaluates the provider's occupation and past history and selects an appropriate image. In this way, an appropriate image can be selected by taking into account the provider's attribute information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the selection unit can select an appropriate image using an AI model for evaluating the provider's attribute information.

[0049] The selection unit can weight the selection based on the frequency of use of the image when making a selection. For example, the selection unit preferentially selects images that are used more frequently. The selection unit can also select images that are used less frequently afterward. The selection unit can also weight the selection based on the frequency of use of the image. For example, the selection unit evaluates the frequency of use of the image and weights it. As a result, appropriate images can be selected by weighting based on the frequency of use. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the selection unit can select appropriate images using an AI model for weighting the selection based on the frequency of use.

[0050] The selection unit may select based on the geographic distribution of images.

[0091] The selection unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of images to select based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the selection unit can prioritize simple, highly visible images. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the selection unit can prioritize images containing detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the selection unit can prioritize images that capture the main points. For example, the selection unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. This allows for the provision of appropriate images by preferentially selecting images that correspond to the user's emotions. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI.

For example, the selection unit can select an appropriate image using an AI model for evaluating the provider's attribute information.

[0094] The selection unit can weight the selection based on the frequency of use of the image when making a selection. For example, the selection unit preferentially selects images that are used more frequently. The selection unit can also select images that are used less frequently afterward. The selection unit can also weight the selection based on the frequency of use of the image. For example, the selection unit evaluates the frequency of use of the image and weights it. As a result, appropriate images can be selected by weighting based on the frequency of use.

Furthermore, when the user is relaxed, the selection unit can provide a display method including detailed information. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the selection unit can provide a display method that focuses on the main points. For example, the selection unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. This improves visibility by providing a display method that corresponds to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit may be performed using, for example, an AI. For example, the selection unit may input image data of the user captured with a camera into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to estimate the user's emotion.

[0096] The selection unit may select based on the geographic distribution of images. For example, if a user inputs content related to a specific region, the selection unit may preferentially select images related to that region. The selection unit may also analyze the geographic distribution of images and preferentially select highly relevant images. The selection unit may also select relevant images based on the user's current location.

For example, the selection unit can perform highly accurate image selection by using an AI model for selecting images by referring to related literature.

[0098] The selection unit can make a selection based on the market value of the image. For example, the selection unit preferentially selects images with high market value. The selection unit can also select images with low market value later. The selection unit can also weight the selection based on the market value of the image. For example, the selection unit evaluates and weights the market value of the image. This makes it possible to select an appropriate image by taking market value into consideration. Some or all of the above-described processing in the selection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0168] 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.

When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples.

Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0172] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0173] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0174] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0175] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[0176] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0177] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0178] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0179] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.

[0180] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.

[0181] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0182] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0183] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

[0184] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0185] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0186] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0187] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0188] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

[0189] 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.
