Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) An app service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that allows companies to provide unwanted office furniture and electrical appliances to other businesses, thereby promoting reuse and recycling. This system allows users to register unwanted items, search for and match with businesses and organizations in the area that need them, and promote donations to organizations or projects that require specific items. This allows the app service to reduce waste and promote reuse and recycling. For example, companies can donate unwanted office furniture to local educational institutions or public interest organizations instead of discarding it, thereby promoting the effective use of resources. Furthermore, promoting donations and cooperation through the app also leads to support for the local community.
[0029] The app service according to the embodiment includes a registration unit, a search unit, a matching unit, and a donation promotion unit. The registration unit allows a user to register unwanted items. For example, the registration unit lists office furniture and electrical appliances, such as desks, chairs, and computers. The search unit searches for businesses and organizations in the area based on the information registered by the registration unit. For example, the search unit targets educational institutions, public interest organizations, and startup companies. The matching unit matches the businesses and organizations searched by the search unit with the registered items. For example, the matching unit compares the registered items with needed items and proposes optimal matches. The donation promotion unit promotes donations to organizations or projects that need specific items. For example, if an educational institution needs desks and chairs to set up a new classroom, the application provides that information and calls for donations. This allows the app service according to the embodiment to efficiently register, search, match, and promote donations of unwanted items.
[0030] The application service includes a display unit that displays detailed information about an item registered by a user. The display unit displays detailed information about the item registered by the user. For example, the display unit displays the item's status, usage history, provider information, and the like.

[0135] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0136] The app service can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the donation request method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is emotional, an emotional message can be displayed to encourage donations. If the user is relaxed, detailed information can be provided to explain the significance of donations. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a concise and to-the-point message can be displayed to encourage donations. In this way, by adjusting the donation request method according to the user's emotions, the success rate of donations can be improved. Emotions can be estimated using technologies such as facial expression recognition, voice analysis, and text analysis.
[0137] The app service can analyze a user's past donation history and determine donation priorities. For example, it can automatically display the types of items that the user has frequently donated in the past as candidates. It can also prioritize suggestions for organizations and projects to which the user has donated in the past. Furthermore, it can predict and suggest methods for encouraging donations at specific times based on the user's past donation history. This can improve donation efficiency by suggesting the optimal donation method based on the user's past donation history.
[0138] The app service can determine the priority of donations based on the user's geographic location information. For example, items available near the user's current location can be given priority for donation. The app service can also automatically filter and display related items based on the user's geographic location information. Furthermore, the app service can suggest the optimal donation method based on the user's past location information. This can improve the efficiency of donations by providing the optimal donation method based on the user's geographic location information.
[0139] The app service can analyze the user's social media activity and adjust the method of soliciting donations. For example, it can prioritize donations of items related to places where the user has checked in on social media. It can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and automatically filter and display related items. It can also suggest related items based on the activity of the user's friends on social media. This can improve donation efficiency by providing the most appropriate donation method based on the user's social media activity.
[0140] The app service can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the length of the donation based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is emotional, a longer, emotional message can be displayed to encourage donations. If the user is relaxed, a longer message with detailed information can be displayed. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a short, concise message that gets to the point can be displayed to encourage donations. In this way, by adjusting the length of donations according to the user's emotions, the success rate of donations can be improved. Emotion estimation is performed using technologies such as facial expression recognition, voice analysis, and text analysis.
[0141] The app service can estimate a user's emotions and adjust search criteria based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can display search results concisely and highlight important information. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed search options and suggest customizable search methods. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can quickly display search results and suggest the most suitable items. This improves search efficiency by adjusting search criteria according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is performed using technologies such as facial expression recognition, voice analysis, and text analysis.
[0142] The app service can estimate a user's emotions and adjust the order in which search results are displayed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a user is feeling stressed, important information can be displayed first. Alternatively, if a user is relaxed, search results containing more detailed information can be displayed. Furthermore, if a user is in a hurry, search results can be displayed quickly and the most suitable items can be suggested. This improves search efficiency by adjusting the display order of search results according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is performed using technologies such as facial expression recognition, voice analysis, and text analysis.
[0143] The app service can estimate a user's emotions and adjust matching criteria based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, important information can be highlighted. If the user is relaxed, detailed matching options can be provided and a customizable matching method can be suggested. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, matching results can be quickly displayed and the most suitable items can be suggested. This allows for improved matching efficiency by adjusting matching criteria according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is performed using technologies such as facial expression recognition, voice analysis, and text analysis.
[0144] The app service can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of notifications based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the app service can reduce notifications and notify only important information. If the user is relaxed, the app service can provide notifications with detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the app service can provide quick notifications with information that covers the main points. This allows the app service to improve notification efficiency by adjusting the timing of notifications according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is performed using technologies such as facial expression recognition, voice analysis, and text analysis.
[0145] The app service can analyze the user's past notification history and determine notification priorities. For example, it can automatically display the types of items for which the user has frequently received notifications in the past as candidates. It can also suggest the optimal notification timing based on the time periods in which the user received notifications in the past. It can also prioritize specific notification methods (email, push notification, etc.) based on the user's past notification history. This can improve notification efficiency by suggesting the optimal notification method based on the user's past notification history.
[0146] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0147] Step 1: The registration unit registers items that the user no longer needs, such as office furniture and electrical appliances such as desks, chairs, and computers. Step 2: The search unit searches for businesses and organizations in the area based on the information registered by the registration unit, such as educational institutions, public interest organizations, and start-up companies. Step 3: The matching unit matches the businesses and organizations found by the search unit with the registered items. For example, it compares the registered items with the required items and proposes the best match. Step 4: The Donation Promotion Department promotes donations to organizations or projects that need specific items. For example, if an educational institution needs desks and chairs to equip a new classroom, they can provide that information through the app and ask for donations.

[0187] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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 image sensor or a CCD 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).
[0190] 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. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.
[0191] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
[0203] 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.
[0204] 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).
[0205] 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.
[0206] 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."
[0207] 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.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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.
[0210] 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.
[0211] 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.
[0212] 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.
[0213] 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.
[0214] 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.
[0215] 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.
[0216] 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.
[0217] 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.
