[0028] (Example 1) An automated answering system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses AI to automatically answer calls, elicit the caller's requirements, and record them. When an automated answering system receives a call, the AI automatically answers the call, asks questions to elicit the caller's requirements, and records the caller's answers. The recorded requirements are stored in a database and notified to a responsible party as needed. For example, when an automated answering system receives a call, the AI sends a message to the caller, such as "Hello, this is the automated answering system. How can I help you?" Next, the AI asks questions such as "What is your need?" and "Can you please tell me your name and contact information?" It analyzes the caller's response and understands the caller's requirements. Finally, the AI stores the caller's name, contact information, and details of the request in a database and notifies a responsible party as needed. This allows the automated answering system to improve the efficiency of telephone response and reduce the burden on the responsible party. For example, even if the responsible party is busy, the AI can automatically answer the call and record the request, allowing them to be checked later. This also enables prompt and appropriate responses to callers.
[0029] An automated answering system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a questioning unit, an analysis unit, a recording unit, a storage unit, and a notification unit. The reception unit receives incoming telephone calls. For example, it can receive incoming calls from landlines, mobile phones, IP phones, and the like. The questioning unit elicits the caller's requirements from the call received by the reception unit. For example, it asks questions such as, "What is your business?" or "Can you please tell me your name and contact information?" The analysis unit analyzes the caller's answer obtained by the questioning unit. For example, it understands the caller's requirements using text analysis or voice analysis. The recording unit records the requirements analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it records the caller's name, contact information, and content of the requirements in text format. The storage unit stores the requirements recorded by the recording unit in a database. For example, it stores the requirements in a relational database or a NoSQL database. The notification unit notifies the person in charge of the requirements stored by the storage unit. For example, it sends an email notification or an SMS notification. As a result, the automated answering system according to an embodiment can improve the efficiency of telephone response and reduce the burden on the person in charge.
[0030] The automated answering system according to the embodiment includes a speech recognition unit that uses speech recognition technology. The speech recognition unit recognizes the caller's speech. For example, deep learning-based speech recognition technology is used to convert the caller's speech into text. The speech recognition unit can also use HMM (Hidden Markov Model)-based speech recognition technology. Furthermore, the speech recognition unit can recognize the caller's speech in real time and save it as text data. This makes it possible to accurately grasp the caller's requirements using speech recognition technology.
[0031] The automatic response system according to the embodiment includes a natural language processing unit that uses natural language processing technology. The natural language processing unit analyzes the caller's response. For example, the natural language processing unit uses morphological analysis to break down the caller's response and understand its meaning. The natural language processing unit can also analyze the structure of the caller's response using grammatical analysis. Furthermore, the natural language processing unit can also understand the meaning of the caller's response using semantic analysis. This allows the use of natural language processing technology to more deeply understand the caller's requirements.
[0032] The automatic response system according to the embodiment includes a database management unit that manages the structure of the database. The database management unit manages the structure of the database. For example, it designs tables and determines how data is stored. The database management unit can also set indexes to improve data search speed. Furthermore, the database management unit can back up data to ensure data integrity. In this way, managing the structure of the database enables efficient management of stored requirements.
[0033] The automatic response system according to the embodiment includes a notification management unit that manages notification methods. The notification management unit manages the notification methods. For example, it sets up email notifications and notifies the person in charge by email. The notification management unit can also set up push notifications and send notifications to the person in charge's smartphone. Furthermore, the notification management unit can also set up SMS notifications and notify the person in charge by SMS. By managing the notification methods, notifications to the person in charge can be sent efficiently.
[0034] The reception unit can refer to the caller's past call history and select the optimal response method. For example, if a caller has called with the same request multiple times in the past, the reception unit will select a standard response for that request. In addition, if the caller has spoken to a specific person in the past, the reception unit can respond by having the AI connect the call directly to that person. In addition, if the caller has filed a complaint in the past, the reception unit can select a response method that will allow the AI to respond quickly. This makes it possible to provide the optimal response to the caller by referring to past call history.
[0035] The reception unit can acquire the geographical information of the caller and greet the caller according to the region. For example, if the caller calls from Tokyo, the reception unit greets the caller with "Hello, you're calling from Tokyo." If the caller calls from Osaka, the reception unit can also greet the caller with "Hello, you're calling from Osaka." If the caller calls from overseas, the reception unit can also greet the caller with "Hello, thank you for calling from overseas." This makes it possible to provide a greeting according to the caller's geographical information, allowing for a friendly response to the caller.
[0036] The reception unit can customize the content of the response based on the caller's call time zone. For example, if the caller calls in the morning, the reception unit greets the caller with "Good morning." If the caller calls in the afternoon, the reception unit can also greet the caller with "Hello." If the caller calls in the evening, the reception unit can also greet the caller with "Good evening." This makes it possible to respond according to the call time zone, allowing the caller to be treated appropriately.
[0037] The reception unit can analyze the caller's social media activity and reflect relevant information in the response. For example, if the caller posts about a specific issue on social media, the reception unit can have the AI reflect information about that issue in the response. Also, if the caller is participating in a specific event on social media, the reception unit can have the AI reflect information about that event in the response. Also, if the caller comments about a specific product on social media, the reception unit can have the AI reflect information about that product in the response. This makes it possible to respond based on the caller's social media activity, resulting in more personalized responses.
[0038] The reception unit can customize the response method by reflecting the caller's past feedback. For example, if the caller has preferred a particular response method in the past, the reception unit will have the AI prioritize using that response method. Also, if the caller has been dissatisfied with a particular response method in the past, the reception unit can have the AI avoid that response method. Also, if the caller has preferred a particular agent in the past, the reception unit can respond by having the AI connect the call directly to that agent. This makes it possible to respond based on past feedback, improving caller satisfaction.
[0039] The reception unit can select the optimal response method by taking into account the caller's device information. For example, if the caller is using a smartphone, the AI can prioritize voice responses. If the caller is using a computer, the AI can also prioritize text responses. If the caller is using a tablet, the AI can also prioritize video responses. This makes it possible to respond based on the caller's device information, resulting in more appropriate responses.
[0040] When asking a question, the questioning unit can refer to the caller's past call content to select the most appropriate question. For example, if the caller has inquired about a specific problem in the past, the questioning unit will have the AI ask a question related to that problem. Also, if the caller has inquired about a specific product in the past, the questioning unit can have the AI ask a question related to that product. Also, if the caller has inquired about a specific service in the past, the questioning unit can have the AI ask a question related to that service. This makes it possible to ask questions based on the call content in the past, allowing appropriate questions to be asked of the caller.
[0041] When asking a question, the questioning unit can customize the question content by taking into account the attribute information of the caller. For example, if the caller is a company representative, the AI will ask questions related to the business. Also, if the caller is an individual, the AI can ask questions related to the individual. Also, if the caller belongs to a specific industry, the AI can ask questions related to that industry. This makes it possible to ask questions based on the attribute information of the caller, resulting in more appropriate questions.
[0042] When a question is asked, the questioning unit can dynamically generate the next question based on the caller's answer history. For example, if the caller answers about a specific problem, the questioning unit will generate the next question related to that problem. Also, if the caller answers about a specific product, the questioning unit will be able to generate the next question related to that product. Also, if the caller answers about a specific service, the questioning unit will be able to generate the next question related to that service. This makes it possible to ask questions based on the caller's answer history, resulting in smoother conversations.
[0043] When asking a question, the questioning unit can customize the question content by taking into account the caller's geographical information.

[0100] (Example 2) An automated answering system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses AI to automatically answer calls, elicit the caller's requirements, and record them. When an automated answering system receives a call, the AI automatically answers the call, asks questions to elicit the caller's requirements, and records the caller's answers. The recorded requirements are stored in a database and notified to a responsible party as needed. For example, when an automated answering system receives a call, the AI sends a message to the caller, such as "Hello, this is the automated answering system. How can I help you?" Next, the AI asks questions such as "What is your need?" and "Can you please tell me your name and contact information?" It analyzes the caller's response and understands the caller's requirements. Finally, the AI stores the caller's name, contact information, and details of the request in a database and notifies a responsible party as needed. This allows the automated answering system to improve the efficiency of telephone response and reduce the burden on the responsible party. For example, even if the responsible party is busy, the AI can automatically answer the call and record the request, allowing them to be checked later. This also enables prompt and appropriate responses to callers.
[0101] An automated answering system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a questioning unit, an analysis unit, a recording unit, a storage unit, and a notification unit. The reception unit receives incoming telephone calls. For example, it can receive incoming calls from landlines, mobile phones, IP phones, and the like. The questioning unit elicits the caller's requirements from the call received by the reception unit. For example, it asks questions such as, "What is your business?" or "Can you please tell me your name and contact information?" The analysis unit analyzes the caller's answer obtained by the questioning unit. For example, it understands the caller's requirements using text analysis or voice analysis. The recording unit records the requirements analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it records the caller's name, contact information, and content of the requirements in text format. The storage unit stores the requirements recorded by the recording unit in a database. For example, it stores the requirements in a relational database or a NoSQL database.

For example, if the sender posts about a specific issue on social media, the natural language processing unit's AI can reflect information related to that issue in the natural language processing. Furthermore, if the sender is participating in a specific event on social media, the natural language processing unit's AI can reflect information related to that event in the natural language processing. Furthermore, if the sender comments on a specific product on social media, the natural language processing unit's AI can reflect information related to that product in the natural language processing. This enables natural language processing based on the sender's social media activity, resulting in more personalized processing.
[0169] During natural language processing, the natural language processing unit can adjust the processing algorithm by reflecting the sender's past feedback. For example, if the sender has given favorable feedback to a specific processing algorithm in the past, the natural language processing unit allows the AI to preferentially use that algorithm. Also, if the sender has been dissatisfied with a specific processing algorithm in the past, the natural language processing unit can also allow the AI to avoid that algorithm. Also, if the sender has given neutral feedback to a specific processing algorithm in the past, the natural language processing unit can also allow the AI to use that algorithm in the normal order. This enables natural language processing based on past feedback, improving sender satisfaction.
[0170] The database management unit can estimate the sender's emotions and adjust the database structure based on the estimated sender's emotions. For example, if the sender is angry, the AI in the database management unit can create a detailed database structure to accurately grasp the sender's requirements. If the sender is nervous, the AI can create a database structure in a gentle tone to relax the sender. If the sender is relaxed, the AI can create a database structure in a normal manner. This makes it possible to adjust the database structure according to the sender's emotions and accurately grasp the sender's requirements. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.
[0171] When managing the database, the database management unit can optimize the database by referring to the caller's past call content. For example, if a caller has inquired about a specific problem in the past, the database management unit will update the database with information related to that problem. Also, if a caller has inquired about a specific product in the past, the database management unit can update the database with information related to that product. Also, if a caller has inquired about a specific service in the past, the database management unit can update the database with information related to that service. This makes it possible to optimize the database based on the call content in the past, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the caller's requirements.
[0172] When managing the database, the database management unit can customize the database structure by taking into account the sender's attribute information. For example, if the sender is a company representative, the database management unit can have the AI create a database structure related to the business. Also, if the sender is an individual, the database management unit can have the AI create a database structure related to the individual. Also, if the sender belongs to a specific industry, the database management unit can have the AI create a database structure related to that industry. This makes it possible to customize the database structure based on the sender's attribute information, resulting in more appropriate database management.
[0173] The database management unit can estimate the sender's emotions and determine the priority of databases based on the estimated sender's emotions. For example, if the sender is very angry, the database management unit allows the AI to process that database as a top priority. Also, if the sender has an urgent requirement, the database management unit can also allow the AI to process that database as a priority. Also, if the sender is relaxed, the database management unit can allow the AI to process the database with normal priority. This enables database management based on the priority according to the sender's emotions, allowing important requirements to be processed preferentially. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI can be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.
[0174] When managing the database, the database management unit can adjust the structure of the database by taking into account the caller's geographical information. For example, if the caller calls from a specific region, the database management unit causes the AI to update the database with information related to that region. In addition, if the caller calls from overseas, the database management unit can also cause the AI to update the database with information related to that country. In addition, if the caller calls from a specific city, the database management unit can also update the database with information related to that city. This makes it possible to adjust the database structure based on the caller's geographical information, resulting in more appropriate database management.
[0175] During database management, the database management unit can analyze the sender's social media activity and reflect related information in the database. For example, if the sender posts about a specific issue on social media, the database management unit can reflect information related to that issue in the database using the AI. In addition, if the sender is participating in a specific event on social media, the database management unit can also reflect information related to that event in the database using the AI. In addition, if the sender comments on a specific product on social media, the database management unit can also reflect information related to that product in the database using the AI. This enables database management based on the sender's social media activity, resulting in more personalized database management.
[0176] The notification management unit can estimate the caller's emotions and adjust the notification method based on the estimated caller's emotions. For example, if the caller is angry, the AI in the notification management unit can quickly notify the person in charge. If the caller is nervous, the AI can also notify the caller in a gentle tone. If the caller is relaxed, the AI can also notify the caller in a normal manner. This makes it possible to adjust the notification method according to the caller's emotions and accurately grasp the caller's requirements. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. Generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.
[0177] When managing notifications, the notification management unit can optimize the notification method by referring to the caller's past call content. For example, if a caller has inquired about a specific problem in the past, the notification management unit will have the AI reflect information related to that problem in the notification. Also, if a caller has inquired about a specific product in the past, the notification management unit can also reflect information related to that product in the notification. Also, if a caller has inquired about a specific service in the past, the AI can also reflect information related to that service in the notification. This makes it possible to optimize the notification method based on the call content in the past, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the caller's requirements.
[0178] When managing notifications, the notification management unit can customize the notification method by taking into account the sender's attribute information. For example, if the sender is a company representative, the notification management unit will have the AI notify the sender of business-related information. Also, if the sender is an individual, the notification management unit can have the AI notify the sender of information related to the individual. Also, if the sender belongs to a specific industry, the notification management unit can have the AI notify the sender of information related to that industry. This makes it possible to customize the notification method based on the sender's attribute information, resulting in more appropriate notifications.
[0179] When managing notifications, the notification management unit can weight notifications based on the caller's response history. For example, if a caller has previously provided a detailed response about a specific issue, the notification management unit can weight that response and send a notification using the AI. Also, if a caller has previously provided a detailed response about a specific product, the notification management unit can weight that response and send a notification using the AI. Also, if a caller has previously provided a detailed response about a specific service, the notification management unit can weight that response and send a notification using the AI. This makes it possible to send notifications based on the caller's response history, resulting in more accurate notifications.
[0180] The notification management unit can estimate the sender's emotions and determine the priority of notifications based on the estimated emotions of the sender. For example, if the sender is very angry, the notification management unit allows the AI to process that notification as a top priority. Also, if the sender has an urgent request, the notification management unit can also allow the AI to process that notification as a priority. Also, if the sender is relaxed, the notification management unit can allow the AI to send notifications with normal priority. This makes it possible to prioritize notifications according to the sender's emotions, allowing important requests to be notified first. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. Generation AI can be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.
[0181] When managing notifications, the notification management unit can adjust the notification method by taking into account the caller's geographical information. For example, if the caller calls from a specific region, the notification management unit will have the AI reflect information related to that region in the notification. Also, if the caller calls from overseas, the notification management unit can have the AI reflect information related to that country in the notification. Also, if the caller calls from a specific city, the notification management unit can have the AI reflect information related to that city in the notification. This makes it possible to adjust the notification method based on the caller's geographical information, resulting in more appropriate notifications.
[0182] When managing notifications, the notification management unit can analyze the sender's social media activity and reflect relevant information in the notification. For example, if the sender posts about a specific issue on social media, the notification management unit's AI can reflect information related to that issue in the notification. Also, if the sender is participating in a specific event on social media, the notification management unit's AI can reflect information related to that event in the notification. Also, if the sender comments on a specific product on social media, the notification management unit's AI can reflect information related to that product in the notification. This makes it possible to provide notifications based on the sender's social media activity, resulting in more personalized notifications.
[0183] The notification management unit can customize the notification method by reflecting the sender's past feedback when managing notifications. For example, if the sender has given favorable feedback about a specific notification method in the past, the notification management unit can cause the AI to use that method preferentially. Also, if the sender has been dissatisfied with a specific notification method in the past, the notification management unit can cause the AI to avoid that method. Also, if the sender has given neutral feedback about a specific notification method in the past, the notification management unit can cause the AI to use that method in the normal order. This makes it possible to provide notifications based on past feedback, improving the sender's satisfaction. === Hard Collateral 1-1 === Each of the multiple elements, including the above-mentioned reception unit, question unit, analysis unit, recording unit, storage unit, notification unit, voice recognition unit, natural language processing unit, database management unit, and notification management unit, is realized, for example, by at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing device 12.

[0184] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0185] The reception unit can estimate the caller's stress level by analyzing the caller's tone of voice and speaking style. For example, if the caller's voice is trembling, the AI will determine that the caller is nervous and respond in a gentle tone. Alternatively, if the caller's voice is getting higher, the AI can determine that the caller is excited and respond in a calm tone. Furthermore, if the caller's voice is getting lower, the AI can determine that the caller is calm and respond in a normal tone. This makes it possible to respond according to the caller's stress level, improving caller satisfaction.
[0186] The questioning section can dynamically generate the next question based on the caller's response. For example, if the caller responds, "Regarding returning a product," the AI can generate a related question such as, "Can you tell me the reason for the return?". If the caller responds, "I need technical support," the AI can also generate a question such as, "What specific problem are you experiencing?". Furthermore, if the caller responds, "I would like to know about a new product," the AI can generate a question such as, "Which product would you like to know about?" This makes it possible to ask questions based on the caller's response, resulting in smoother conversations.
[0187] The analysis unit can estimate the caller's emotions and adjust the accuracy of the analysis based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the caller is angry, the AI will perform a detailed analysis to accurately grasp the caller's requirements. If the caller is nervous, the AI can analyze using a gentler tone to relax the caller. If the caller is relaxed, the AI can perform the analysis with normal accuracy. This makes it possible to perform an analysis according to the caller's emotions and accurately grasp the caller's requirements.
[0188] The recording unit can improve the accuracy of recording by referring to the caller's past call content. For example, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific problem, the AI can reflect information related to that problem in the record. Also, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific product, the AI can reflect information related to that product in the record. Also, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific service, the AI can reflect information related to that service in the record. This makes it possible to record based on past call content, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the caller's requirements.
[0189] The notification unit can estimate the caller's emotions and adjust the notification method based on the estimated caller's emotions. For example, if the caller is angry, the AI will quickly notify the person in charge. If the caller is nervous, the AI can notify in a gentle tone. If the caller is relaxed, the AI can notify in a normal manner. This makes it possible to notify according to the caller's emotions and accurately grasp the caller's requirements.
[0190] The speech recognition unit can improve the accuracy of recognition by referring to the caller's past call content. For example, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific problem, the AI can incorporate information related to that problem into the speech recognition. Also, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific product, the AI can incorporate information related to that product into the speech recognition. Also, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific service, the AI can incorporate information related to that service into the speech recognition. This makes it possible to recognize speech based on the content of past calls, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the caller's requirements.
[0191] The natural language processing unit can estimate the caller's emotions and adjust the accuracy of natural language processing based on the estimated caller's emotions. For example, if the caller is angry, the AI will perform detailed natural language processing to accurately grasp the caller's requirements. Alternatively, if the caller is nervous, the AI can perform natural language processing in a gentle tone to relax the caller. Alternatively, if the caller is relaxed, the AI can perform natural language processing with normal accuracy. This makes it possible to perform natural language processing according to the caller's emotions and accurately grasp the caller's requirements.
[0192] The database management unit can optimize the database by referencing the caller's past call content. For example, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific problem, the AI can update the database with information related to that problem. Also, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific product, the AI can update the database with information related to that product. Also, if a caller has previously inquired about a specific service, the AI can update the database with information related to that service. This makes it possible to optimize the database based on past call content, allowing for a more accurate understanding of caller requirements.
[0193] The notification management unit can estimate the caller's emotions and adjust the notification method based on the estimated caller's emotions. For example, if the caller is angry, the AI will quickly notify the person in charge. If the caller is nervous, the AI can notify in a gentle tone. If the caller is relaxed, the AI can notify in a normal manner. This makes it possible to adjust the notification method according to the caller's emotions, allowing the caller's requirements to be accurately understood.
[0194] The reception unit can acquire the caller's geographical information and provide a greeting appropriate to the region. For example, if the caller calls from Tokyo, the reception unit can greet the caller with "Hello, you're calling from Tokyo." If the caller calls from Osaka, the reception unit can greet the caller with "Hello, you're calling from Osaka." If the caller calls from overseas, the reception unit can greet the caller with "Hello, thank you for calling from overseas." This makes it possible to provide a greeting appropriate to the caller's geographical information, resulting in a friendly response to the caller.
[0195] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0196] Step 1: The reception unit receives an incoming call. For example, it can receive an incoming call from a landline phone, a mobile phone, an IP phone, etc. Step 2: The inquiry department asks the caller about their needs after the call is received by the reception department. For example, they ask questions such as, "What is your business?" and "Can I have your name and contact information?" Step 3: The analysis unit analyzes the caller's response obtained by the question unit, for example, by using text analysis or voice analysis to understand the caller's requirements. Step 4: The recording unit records the requirements analyzed by the analysis unit, such as the sender's name, contact information, and requirements content in text format. Step 5: The storage unit stores the requirements recorded by the recording unit in a database, such as a relational database or a NoSQL database. Step 6: The notification unit notifies the person in charge of the requirements stored by the storage unit, for example, by email or SMS.
[0197] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0198] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. 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.
[0199] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[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] [Second embodiment] FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.

[0205] 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.
[0206] 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).
[0207] 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.
[0208] Fig. 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Fig. 4, 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.
[0209] 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.
[0210] 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.
[0211] In the smart glasses 214, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50.

The smart glasses 214 also have 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 processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0212] 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.
[0213] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing.

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.

[0248] 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.
[0249] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0250] 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.
[0251] 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.
[0252] 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.
[0253] 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).
[0254] 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.
[0255] 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."
[0256] 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.
[0257] 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.
[0258] 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.
[0259] 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.
[0260] 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.
[0261] 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.
[0262] 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.
[0263] 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.
[0264] 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.
[0265] 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.

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.
