[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes a chat generation AI when a user wants to feel better by sharing secrets or complaints with someone. In this system, a user inputs a secret or complaint, and the AI analyzes the content and generates and provides a response that helps the user feel better. The generated response is provided to the user, and the spoken content is automatically deleted after a certain period of time. For example, a user inputs a secret or complaint to the chat generation AI. For example, the user may input content such as "stress at work." This input is sent to the chat generation AI. The chat generation AI then analyzes the input content and generates a response that helps the user feel better. For example, the AI generates a response such as "That must have been tough. But you're doing your best." This response is displayed to the user. Furthermore, the spoken content is processed so that it does not remain in the chat generation AI. Specifically, the content input by the user and the generated response are automatically deleted after a certain period of time. This protects the user's privacy. This system allows the user to feel safe talking about secrets or complaints and feel better. This allows the system to efficiently accept users' secrets and complaints, analyze them, generate and provide replies, and delete them after a certain period of time, thereby protecting users' privacy and helping them feel at ease.
[0029] A secret or complaint processing system according to an embodiment includes a receiving unit, an analyzing unit, a generating unit, a providing unit, and a deleting unit. The receiving unit receives user input. The user input includes, but is not limited to, secrets and complaints. The receiving unit receives, for example, secrets and complaints input in text format. The receiving unit can also receive voice input. For example, a user can input secrets and complaints by voice using a microphone. The receiving unit can also receive image input. For example, a user can express secrets and complaints using an image. The analyzing unit analyzes the content received by the receiving unit. The analyzing unit analyzes the user's input content using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI may be, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to, these examples. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's input content and extracts information for generating a reply based on the content. The generation unit generates a reply based on the content analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates a reply that makes the user feel relieved using, for example, the generation AI. For example, the generation AI generates a reply such as, "That must have been difficult. But you're doing your best." The providing unit provides the reply generated by the generation unit to the user. The providing unit, for example, displays the generated reply to the user in text format. The providing unit can also provide the reply in audio format. For example, the generated reply is provided to the user as audio using speech synthesis technology. The deleting unit deletes the content processed by the receiving unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and providing unit after a certain period of time. For example, the deleting unit automatically deletes content entered by the user and generated replies after a certain period of time. For example, the deleting unit deletes the content entered by the user and generated replies after 24 hours. As a result, the secret and complaint processing system according to the embodiment efficiently accepts and analyzes the user's secrets and complaints, generates and provides replies, and deletes them after a certain period of time, thereby protecting the user's privacy and helping them feel refreshed.

The deletion unit can also delete related content by referring to the activity of the user's friends on social media. The deletion unit can also delete related content based on the user's check-in information on social media. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, related content can be appropriately deleted. Some or all of the above-described processing in the deletion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the deletion unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to suggest a deletion method.
[0058] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0059] The reception unit can automatically classify the category of the content that the user wants to talk about based on the content input by the user. For example, if the user inputs a complaint about work, the reception unit classifies the content into the work category. Also, if the user inputs a secret about home life, the reception unit can classify the content into the home category. Furthermore, if the user inputs a complaint about human relationships, the reception unit can classify the content into the human relationships category. In this way, the reception unit can appropriately classify the content input by the user, allowing the analysis unit and generation unit to process the content efficiently.
[0060] The analysis unit can retrieve additional information from a related external database based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs a complaint about work, the analysis unit can retrieve related industry news and statistical data. If the user inputs a secret about family, the analysis unit can retrieve advice about related family issues. Furthermore, if the user inputs a complaint about interpersonal relationships, the analysis unit can retrieve related psychological advice. This allows the analysis unit to provide additional information related to the user's input and generate a more comprehensive response.
[0061] The generation unit can adjust the tone of the reply based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs something that makes them sad, the generation unit can generate a reply in a gentle tone. If the user inputs something that makes them angry, the generation unit can generate a reply in a calm tone. Furthermore, if the user inputs something that makes them happy, the generation unit can generate a reply in a bright tone. This allows the generation unit to generate a reply in a tone that matches the user's input, providing a more empathetic response.
[0062] The providing unit can adjust the display format of the reply based on the user's input. For example, if the user requests detailed information, the providing unit can display the detailed reply in text format. If the user requests concise information, the providing unit can display the reply in bullet point format. Furthermore, if the user prefers visual information, the providing unit can display the reply using graphs or diagrams. This allows the providing unit to provide the reply in the optimal display format according to the user's input.
[0063] The deletion unit can determine the priority of deletion based on the content input by the user. For example, if the user inputs content that places great importance on privacy, the deletion unit will delete that content as a top priority. Also, if the user inputs general complaints, the deletion unit can postpone deleting that content. Furthermore, if the user wants to delete content input based on temporary emotions, the deletion unit can quickly delete that content. In this way, the deletion unit can delete content in priority according to the content input by the user, thereby protecting privacy.
[0064] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0065] Step 1: The reception unit receives user input. User input includes, but is not limited to, secrets and complaints. The reception unit can receive text, voice input, and image input. For example, the user can use a microphone to input secrets and complaints by voice. The user can also express secrets and complaints using images. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the content received by the reception unit. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's input and extract information to generate a reply based on that content. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 3: The generator generates a response based on the content analyzed by the analyzer. Using AI, the generator generates a response that makes the user feel better. For example, it generates a response such as, "That must have been difficult, but you're doing your best." Step 4: The providing unit provides the response generated by the generating unit to the user. The providing unit displays the generated response to the user in text format. The providing unit can also provide the response to the user as voice using speech synthesis technology. Step 5: The deletion unit deletes the content processed by the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit after a certain period of time. The deletion unit automatically deletes the content entered by the user and the generated reply after a certain period of time has passed. For example, the content entered by the user and the generated reply are deleted after 24 hours.
[0066] (Example 2) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes a chat generation AI when a user wants to feel better by sharing secrets or complaints with someone. In this system, a user inputs a secret or complaint, and the AI analyzes the content and generates and provides a response that helps the user feel better. The generated response is provided to the user, and the spoken content is automatically deleted after a certain period of time. For example, a user inputs a secret or complaint to the chat generation AI. For example, the user may input content such as "stress at work." This input is sent to the chat generation AI. The chat generation AI then analyzes the input content and generates a response that helps the user feel better. For example, the AI generates a response such as "That must have been tough. But you're doing your best." This response is displayed to the user. Furthermore, the spoken content is processed so that it does not remain in the chat generation AI. Specifically, the content input by the user and the generated response are automatically deleted after a certain period of time. This protects the user's privacy. This system allows the user to feel safe talking about secrets or complaints and feel better. This allows the system to efficiently accept users' secrets and complaints, analyze them, generate and provide replies, and delete them after a certain period of time, thereby protecting users' privacy and helping them feel at ease.
[0067] A secret or complaint processing system according to an embodiment includes a receiving unit, an analyzing unit, a generating unit, a providing unit, and a deleting unit. The receiving unit receives user input. The user input includes, but is not limited to, secrets and complaints. The receiving unit receives, for example, secrets and complaints input in text format. The receiving unit can also receive voice input. For example, a user can input secrets and complaints by voice using a microphone. The receiving unit can also receive image input. For example, a user can express secrets and complaints using an image. The analyzing unit analyzes the content received by the receiving unit. The analyzing unit analyzes the user's input content using, for example, a generation AI. The generation AI may be, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to, these examples. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's input content and extracts information for generating a reply based on the content. The generation unit generates a reply based on the content analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates a reply that makes the user feel relieved using, for example, the generation AI. For example, the generation AI generates a reply such as, "That must have been difficult. But you're doing your best." The providing unit provides the reply generated by the generation unit to the user. The providing unit, for example, displays the generated reply to the user in text format. The providing unit can also provide the reply in audio format. For example, the generated reply is provided to the user as audio using speech synthesis technology. The deleting unit deletes the content processed by the receiving unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and providing unit after a certain period of time. For example, the deleting unit automatically deletes content entered by the user and generated replies after a certain period of time. For example, the deleting unit deletes the content entered by the user and generated replies after 24 hours. As a result, the secret and complaint processing system according to the embodiment efficiently accepts and analyzes the user's secrets and complaints, generates and provides replies, and deletes them after a certain period of time, thereby protecting the user's privacy and helping them feel refreshed.
[0068] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of inputting secrets or complaints based on the estimated user emotions. For example, when the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can immediately accept the input, providing an environment where the user can speak immediately. Furthermore, when the user is relaxed, the reception unit can slightly delay the timing of the input, allowing the user to speak more slowly. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can speed up the timing of the input, allowing the user to speak more quickly. By adjusting the input timing according to the user's emotions, it is possible to accept secrets or complaints at a more appropriate timing. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's facial expression data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to estimate the user's emotions.
[0069] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and select an appropriate input method. For example, the reception unit can prioritize and suggest input methods (such as voice and text) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and suggest an input method to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. The reception unit can also analyze trends in the content the user has entered in the past and customize the optimal input method. In this way, the optimal input method can be suggested by analyzing the user's past input history. 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 input the user's past input history data into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal input method.
[0070] The reception unit can filter secrets and complaints based on the user's current situation and areas of interest when the secrets and complaints are input. For example, when the user is at work, the reception unit can prioritize receiving work-related secrets and complaints. Furthermore, when the user is having problems at home, the reception unit can prioritize receiving home-related secrets and complaints. Furthermore, the reception unit can filter related secrets and complaints based on the user's areas of interest and prompt the user to input appropriate secrets and complaints. By filtering based on the user's current situation and areas of interest, more appropriate secrets and complaints can be received. 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 input the user's current situation data and area of interest data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform filtering.
[0071] The reception unit can select an appropriate input means according to the user's input method when inputting a secret or complaint. For example, if the user desires voice input, the reception unit can preferentially accept voice input. Furthermore, if the user desires text input, the reception unit can also preferentially accept text input. Furthermore, if the user wants to express a secret or complaint using an image, the reception unit can support image input. In this way, by selecting the optimal input means according to the user's input method, the user can input a secret or complaint in a manner that is easy for the user to use. 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 input the user's input method data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal input means.
[0072] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of secrets and complaints to be input based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, the reception unit can give top priority to receiving those secrets and complaints. Furthermore, if the user wants to share a light complaint, the reception unit can postpone that content. Furthermore, if the user is emotionally unstable, the reception unit can prioritize receiving those secrets and complaints. Thus, by determining the priority of secrets and complaints according to the user's emotions, important content can be received preferentially. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, 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 reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's facial expression data into the generation AI and have the generation AI estimate the user's emotions.
[0073] When inputting secrets or complaints, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant content by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0106] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0107] The reception unit can automatically classify the category of the content that the user wants to talk about based on the content input by the user. For example, if the user inputs a complaint about work, the reception unit classifies the content into the work category. Also, if the user inputs a secret about home life, the reception unit can classify the content into the home category. Furthermore, if the user inputs a complaint about human relationships, the reception unit can classify the content into the human relationships category. In this way, the reception unit can appropriately classify the content input by the user, allowing the analysis unit and generation unit to process the content efficiently.
[0108] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and provide feedback on the input content based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can provide feedback such as "Please relax and speak." If the user is relaxed, the reception unit can also provide feedback such as "Keep it up." Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can provide feedback such as "It's okay to keep it short." In this way, by providing feedback according to the user's emotions, it is possible to enable the user to input more comfortably.
[0109] The analysis unit can retrieve additional information from a related external database based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs a complaint about work, the analysis unit can retrieve related industry news and statistical data. If the user inputs a secret about family, the analysis unit can retrieve advice about related family issues. Furthermore, if the user inputs a complaint about interpersonal relationships, the analysis unit can retrieve related psychological advice. This allows the analysis unit to provide additional information related to the user's input and generate a more comprehensive response.
[0110] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the depth of the analysis based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis and provide specific advice. If the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can perform a concise analysis and provide advice that focuses on the main points. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can perform a quick analysis and provide advice that can be understood in a short amount of time. In this way, by adjusting the depth of analysis according to the user's emotions, more appropriate analysis results can be provided.
[0111] The generation unit can adjust the tone of the reply based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs something that makes them sad, the generation unit can generate a reply in a gentle tone. If the user inputs something that makes them angry, the generation unit can generate a reply in a calm tone. Furthermore, if the user inputs something that makes them happy, the generation unit can generate a reply in a bright tone. This allows the generation unit to generate a reply in a tone that matches the user's input, providing a more empathetic response.
[0112] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and customize the content of the reply based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, the generation unit can provide specific advice for reducing stress. Also, if the user is relaxed, the generation unit can provide advice for maintaining relaxation. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation unit can provide advice that can be implemented in a short time. This allows for more appropriate support by providing a customized reply according to the user's emotions.
[0113] The providing unit can adjust the display format of the reply based on the user's input.

If the user requests concise information, the providing unit can display the reply in bullet point format. Furthermore, if the user prefers visual information, the providing unit can display the reply using graphs or diagrams. This allows the providing unit to provide the reply in the optimal display format according to the user's input.
[0114] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the reply display speed based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, the providing unit can display the reply slowly so that the user can read it calmly. Also, if the user is relaxed, the providing unit can display the reply at a normal speed. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the providing unit can display the reply quickly so that the user can check it in a short time. In this way, by adjusting the display speed according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate display can be provided.
[0115] The deletion unit can determine the priority of deletion based on the content input by the user. For example, if the user inputs content that places great importance on privacy, the deletion unit will delete that content as a top priority. Also, if the user inputs general complaints, the deletion unit can postpone deleting that content. Furthermore, if the user wants to delete content input based on temporary emotions, the deletion unit can quickly delete that content. In this way, the deletion unit can delete content in priority according to the content input by the user, thereby protecting privacy.
[0116] The deletion unit can estimate the user's emotions and customize the deletion method based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling very stressed, the deletion unit can delete the content immediately, allowing the user to feel at ease. If the user is relaxed, the deletion unit can also delay the timing of deletion a little. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the deletion can be performed quickly. In this way, by customizing the deletion method according to the user's emotions, more appropriate deletion can be performed.
[0117] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0118] Step 1: The reception unit receives user input. User input includes, but is not limited to, secrets and complaints. The reception unit can receive text, voice input, and image input. For example, the user can use a microphone to input secrets and complaints by voice. The user can also express secrets and complaints using images. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the content received by the reception unit. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's input and extract information to generate a reply based on that content. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 3: The generator generates a response based on the content analyzed by the analyzer. Using AI, the generator generates a response that makes the user feel better. For example, it generates a response such as, "That must have been difficult, but you're doing your best." Step 4: The providing unit provides the response generated by the generating unit to the user. The providing unit displays the generated response to the user in text format. The providing unit can also provide the response to the user as voice using speech synthesis technology. Step 5: The deletion unit deletes the content processed by the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit after a certain period of time. The deletion unit automatically deletes the content entered by the user and the generated reply after a certain period of time has passed. For example, the content entered by the user and the generated reply are deleted after 24 hours.
[0119] 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 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.

The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0143] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0144] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0145] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.

[0146] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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 control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.
[0152] 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.
[0153] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314.

[0161] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54.

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.
[0163] 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.

Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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).
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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."
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
