[0028] (Example 1) A tool according to an embodiment of the present invention generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on a user's personalized data, and uses their opinions when making various decisions, thereby broadening the range of life choices. The tool collects the user's personalized data, and a generation AI generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities. The generated pseudo-selves offer their own opinions when the user makes various decisions, such as buying clothes, furniture, or deciding where to go for fun. The user then refers to these opinions when making a final decision. For example, when a user buys new clothes, the generated pseudo-selves offer different opinions based on their personalities. One pseudo-selve might say, "casual clothes are good," while another might say, "formal clothes are good." The user can refer to these opinions to select the clothes that are best for them. The same is true when the user decides where to go for fun. The generated pseudo-selves offer different opinions based on their personalities. One pseudo-selve might say, "relaxing in nature is good," while another might say, "shopping in the city is good." The user can refer to these opinions to select the best place to go for fun. This allows the tool to allow users to consider options from a wide range of perspectives, without being limited by their own personality or hobbies.This allows the tool to allow users to consider options from a wide range of perspectives, without being limited by their own personality or hobbies, and thereby broaden the range of choices in life.

The collection unit includes, for example, an interface through which the user inputs data via an app. The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting personalized data based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is estimated to be relaxed, the timing of data collection can be selected to prevent the user from feeling stressed. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a pseudo-self based on the data collected by the collection unit. The generation AI can be, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples. The generation unit generates multiple pseudo-selfs with different personalities based on, for example, data on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history. The generation unit also includes an algorithm that allows the generation AI to generate the pseudo-selfs with different personalities. For example, the generation AI can generate the pseudo-selfs using a neural network or natural language processing technology. The opinion collection unit collects the pseudo opinions of the user generated by the generation unit. For example, when a user inputs a question, the generation AI generates pseudo opinions of the user in response to the question and presents them to the user. The opinion collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of opinion collection based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the system collects opinions in a calm tone. The decision unit makes a final decision based on the opinions collected by the opinion collection unit. The decision unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of final decision based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the system makes a final decision in a calm tone. In this way, the tool according to the embodiment generates multiple pseudo selves with different personalities based on the user's personalized data, and by referring to each of their opinions when making various decisions, the user can broaden the range of life choices.

[0030] The generation unit can generate multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on data on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history. The generation unit generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on data on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history.

[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 tool not only generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on the user's personalization data, but also collects the user's health data and provides recommendations based on their health status. For example, if a user uses a fitness app, that data is collected and the pseudo-selves suggest healthy options. One pseudo-selve might say, "Running is good," while another might say, "Yoga is good." The tool can also collect the user's dietary data and provide healthy meal suggestions. For example, one pseudo-selve might say, "Eat a salad," while another might say, "Drink a protein shake." This allows the tool to provide healthier options based on the user's health status.

[0060] The generator can generate multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history data, as well as generate pseudo-selves based on the user's future goals and plans. For example, if a user has set future career goals, the generator can generate pseudo-selves based on those goals. One pseudo-selve might say, "It would be good to take training to improve my leadership skills," while another might say, "It would be good to try a new project." Furthermore, if a user is planning a future trip, the generator can generate pseudo-selves based on those plans. For example, one pseudo-selve might say, "It would be good to go to a beach resort," while another might say, "It would be good to go mountain climbing." This allows the generator to provide more specific opinions based on the user's future goals and plans.

[0061] The collection unit may not only have an interface for the user to input data through an app, but also have a function for synchronizing data between the user's devices. For example, if the user uses a smartphone and a tablet, the collection unit synchronizes data between these devices to ensure consistent data collection. Furthermore, if the user uses a wearable device, the collection unit may collect the data and supplement the data based on health conditions and activity levels. For example, if the user uses a smartwatch, the collection unit may collect the data and analyze daily activity levels and sleep patterns. This allows the collection unit to collect data from multiple devices of the user and provide more comprehensive personalized data.

[0062] When a user inputs a question, the collection unit not only uses the generation AI to generate pseudo-opinions and present them to the user, but also automatically searches for and provides related information based on the user's question. For example, if a user asks, "I want to start a new hobby," the collection unit searches for information on the Internet and suggests related hobbies. Also, if a user asks, "Where should I go on my next vacation?" the collection unit can search information on travel sites and provide popular travel destinations and recommended activities. This allows the collection unit to provide more specific and useful information in response to the user's question.

[0063] The generation unit can be equipped not only with an algorithm that allows the generation AI to generate different versions of itself, but also with a function to evaluate the generated pseudo-self opinions and provide feedback. For example, the generation unit can evaluate the quality of the generated opinions based on feedback provided by the user and improve the algorithm. The generation unit can also provide an interface for users to rate opinions and improve the accuracy of the opinions based on the ratings. For example, if a user rates an opinion as "helpful," the generation method for that opinion can be used preferentially. Also, if a user rates an opinion as "unhelpful," the generation method for that opinion can be improved. This allows the generation unit to reflect user feedback and provide more accurate opinions.

[0064] The collection unit can analyze the user's past behavioral history and select an appropriate data collection method, as well as adjust the frequency of data collection based on the user's behavioral patterns. For example, if the user frequently engages in a particular activity, data related to that activity can be collected periodically. Also, if the user is active during a particular time period, data collection can be performed during that time period. Furthermore, if the user participates in a particular event or activity, data related to that event or activity can be collected. This allows the collection unit to adjust the frequency of data collection based on the user's behavioral patterns, thereby achieving more efficient data collection.

[0065] When collecting personalized data, the collection unit can not only filter the data based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest, but also customize the content of data collection according to the user's life stage. For example, if the user is a student, data related to academics and career can be collected preferentially. If the user is newly married, data related to family life and partnership can be collected. Furthermore, if the user is retired, data related to hobbies and health can be collected. This allows the collection unit to customize the content of data collection according to the user's life stage and provide more relevant data.

[0066] When collecting personalized data, the collection unit can not only select the optimal collection means depending on the user's input method, but also adjust the interface based on the user's input speed and accuracy. For example, if the user uses voice input, noise canceling technology can be used to improve the accuracy of voice recognition. Also, if the user uses text input, the keyboard layout can be adjusted depending on the input speed. Furthermore, if the user uses image input, a high-resolution camera can be used to improve the accuracy of image recognition. This allows the collection unit to adjust the interface depending on the user's input method and achieve more efficient data collection.

[0067] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0068] Step 1: The collection unit collects personalized data from the user. The personalized data includes the user's personality, hobbies, past behavioral history, etc. The collection unit has an interface through which the user inputs data through the app, and can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of data collection based on the estimated emotions. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate pseudo-selves based on the data collected by the collection unit. The generation AI may be a text generation AI or a multimodal generation AI, and generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on data on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history. Step 3: The opinion collection unit collects the pseudo-opinions generated by the generation unit. When the user inputs a question, the generation AI generates pseudo-opinions for each question and presents them to the user. The opinion collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of opinion collection based on the estimated emotions. Step 4: The decision unit makes a final decision based on the opinions collected by the opinion collection unit. The decision unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of making the final decision based on the estimated emotions.

[0069] (Example 2) A tool according to an embodiment of the present invention generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on a user's personalized data, and uses their opinions when making various decisions, thereby broadening the range of life choices. The tool collects the user's personalized data, and a generation AI generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities. The generated pseudo-selves offer their own opinions when the user makes various decisions, such as buying clothes, furniture, or deciding where to go for fun. The user then refers to these opinions when making a final decision. For example, when a user buys new clothes, the generated pseudo-selves offer different opinions based on their personalities. One pseudo-selve might say, "casual clothes are good," while another might say, "formal clothes are good." The user can refer to these opinions to select the clothes that are best for them. The same is true when the user decides where to go for fun. The generated pseudo-selves offer different opinions based on their personalities. One pseudo-selve might say, "relaxing in nature is good," while another might say, "shopping in the city is good." The user can refer to these opinions to select the best place to go for fun. This allows the tool to allow users to consider options from a wide range of perspectives, without being limited by their own personality or hobbies.This allows the tool to allow users to consider options from a wide range of perspectives, without being limited by their own personality or hobbies, and thereby broaden the range of choices in life.

The decision unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and makes a final decision based on the collected opinions.

[0107] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0108] The tool not only generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on the user's personalization data, but also collects the user's health data and provides recommendations based on their health status. For example, if a user uses a fitness app, that data is collected and the pseudo-selves suggest healthy options. One pseudo-selve might say, "Running is good," while another might say, "Yoga is good." The tool can also collect the user's dietary data and provide healthy meal suggestions. For example, one pseudo-selve might say, "Eat a salad," while another might say, "Drink a protein shake." This allows the tool to provide healthier options based on the user's health status.

[0109] The generator can generate multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history data, as well as generate pseudo-selves based on the user's future goals and plans. For example, if a user has set future career goals, the generator can generate pseudo-selves based on those goals. One pseudo-selve might say, "It would be good to take training to improve my leadership skills," while another might say, "It would be good to try a new project." Furthermore, if a user is planning a future trip, the generator can generate pseudo-selves based on those plans. For example, one pseudo-selve might say, "It would be good to go to a beach resort," while another might say, "It would be good to go mountain climbing." This allows the generator to provide more specific opinions based on the user's future goals and plans.

[0110] The collection unit may not only have an interface for the user to input data through an app, but also have a function for synchronizing data between the user's devices. For example, if the user uses a smartphone and a tablet, the collection unit synchronizes data between these devices to ensure consistent data collection. Furthermore, if the user uses a wearable device, the collection unit may collect the data and supplement the data based on health conditions and activity levels. For example, if the user uses a smartwatch, the collection unit may collect the data and analyze daily activity levels and sleep patterns. This allows the collection unit to collect data from multiple devices of the user and provide more comprehensive personalized data.

[0111] When a user inputs a question, the collection unit not only uses the generation AI to generate pseudo-opinions and present them to the user, but also automatically searches for and provides related information based on the user's question. For example, if a user asks, "I want to start a new hobby," the collection unit searches for information on the Internet and suggests related hobbies. Also, if a user asks, "Where should I go on my next vacation?" the collection unit can search information on travel sites and provide popular travel destinations and recommended activities. This allows the collection unit to provide more specific and useful information in response to the user's question.

[0112] The generation unit can be equipped not only with an algorithm that allows the generation AI to generate different versions of itself, but also with a function to evaluate the generated pseudo-self opinions and provide feedback. For example, the generation unit can evaluate the quality of the generated opinions based on feedback provided by the user and improve the algorithm. The generation unit can also provide an interface for users to rate opinions and improve the accuracy of the opinions based on the ratings. For example, if a user rates an opinion as "helpful," the generation method for that opinion can be used preferentially. Also, if a user rates an opinion as "unhelpful," the generation method for that opinion can be improved. This allows the generation unit to reflect user feedback and provide more accurate opinions.

[0113] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the timing of collecting personalized data based on the estimated user's emotions, as well as select the type of data based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is estimated to be relaxed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data related to the user's hobbies and interests. Also, if the user is estimated to be stressed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data related to reducing the user's stress. Furthermore, if the user is estimated to be excited, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data that attracts the user's interest. This allows the collection unit to select the type of data based on the user's emotions and collect more appropriate data.

[0114] The collection unit can analyze the user's past behavioral history and select an appropriate data collection method, as well as adjust the frequency of data collection based on the user's behavioral patterns. For example, if the user frequently engages in a particular activity, data related to that activity can be collected periodically. Also, if the user is active during a particular time period, data collection can be performed during that time period. Furthermore, if the user participates in a particular event or activity, data related to that event or activity can be collected. This allows the collection unit to adjust the frequency of data collection based on the user's behavioral patterns, thereby achieving more efficient data collection.

[0115] When collecting personalized data, the collection unit can not only filter the data based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest, but also customize the content of data collection according to the user's life stage. For example, if the user is a student, data related to academics and career can be collected preferentially. If the user is newly married, data related to family life and partnership can be collected. Furthermore, if the user is retired, data related to hobbies and health can be collected. This allows the collection unit to customize the content of data collection according to the user's life stage and provide more relevant data.

[0116] When collecting personalized data, the collection unit can not only select the optimal collection means depending on the user's input method, but also adjust the interface based on the user's input speed and accuracy. For example, if the user uses voice input, noise canceling technology can be used to improve the accuracy of voice recognition. Also, if the user uses text input, the keyboard layout can be adjusted depending on the input speed. Furthermore, if the user uses image input, a high-resolution camera can be used to improve the accuracy of image recognition. This allows the collection unit to adjust the interface depending on the user's input method and achieve more efficient data collection.

[0117] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of data to be collected based on the estimated user's emotions, as well as adjust the way data is displayed based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the collection unit can display the data in a calm tone. If the user is excited, the collection unit can display the data in a lively tone. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, the collection unit can display the data in a calm tone. This allows the collection unit to adjust the way data is displayed based on the user's emotions and provide more appropriate information.

[0118] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0119] Step 1: The collection unit collects personalized data from the user. The personalized data includes the user's personality, hobbies, past behavioral history, etc. The collection unit has an interface through which the user inputs data through the app, and can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of data collection based on the estimated emotions. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate pseudo-selves based on the data collected by the collection unit. The generation AI may be a text generation AI or a multimodal generation AI, and generates multiple pseudo-selves with different personalities based on data on the user's personality, hobbies, and past behavioral history. Step 3: The opinion collection unit collects the pseudo-opinions generated by the generation unit. When the user inputs a question, the generation AI generates pseudo-opinions for each question and presents them to the user. The opinion collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of opinion collection based on the estimated emotions. Step 4: The decision unit makes a final decision based on the opinions collected by the opinion collection unit. The decision unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of making the final decision based on the estimated emotions.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. 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 a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 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 also perform processing similar to that of the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0151] 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.

[0152] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 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 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0156] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0158] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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).

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[0189] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
