The generation AI may be, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the tracking unit may be performed using, for example, an AI. For example, the tracking unit may input the user's facial expression data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to estimate the emotion.

[0093] During tracking, the tracking unit can analyze tracking changes based on the submission time of the learning topic. For example, the tracking unit prioritizes analysis of tracking results for learning topics with upcoming submission deadlines. The tracking unit can also postpone tracking results for learning topics with distant submission deadlines.

For example, the tracking unit can input related market data to a generation AI and have the generation AI perform tracking analysis.

[0095] The tracking unit can analyze tracking taking into account the technical maturity of the learning topic during tracking. For example, the tracking unit prioritizes analysis of tracking results for technically mature learning topics. The tracking unit can also postpone tracking results for technically immature learning topics. The tracking unit can also analyze tracking changes taking into account the technical maturity of the learning topic. This makes it possible to efficiently track learning progress by taking into account the technical maturity of the learning topic. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the tracking unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the tracking unit can input technical maturity data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform tracking analysis. === Hard Collateral 1-1 === Each of the multiple elements, including the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and tracking unit, described above, is realized, for example, by at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing device 12.

[0096] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0097] The analysis unit can also estimate the user's learning style and adjust the analysis method based on the estimated learning style. For example, if the user is a visual learner, the analysis unit can provide analysis results that make extensive use of graphs and charts. If the user is an auditory learner, the analysis unit can provide analysis results that include audio feedback. Furthermore, if the user is an experiential learner, the analysis unit can provide analysis results that include interactive elements. In this way, by providing an analysis method that suits the user's learning style, more effective learning support can be achieved.

[0098] The collection unit can also detect the user's learning environment and adjust the data collection method based on the detected learning environment. For example, if the user is learning in a quiet environment, the collection unit can prioritize voice input. Also, if the user is on the move, the collection unit can prioritize data collection from a mobile device. Furthermore, if the user is learning in a group, the collection unit can also collect interaction data with other users. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate learning support by providing a data collection method that suits the user's learning environment.

[0099] The generation unit can also analyze the user's learning history and adjust the difficulty of the quiz based on the user's past learning patterns. For example, a high level of difficulty quiz can be generated for a topic on which the user has previously achieved a high score. A low level of difficulty quiz can also be generated for a topic on which the user has difficulty. Furthermore, the difficulty of the quiz can be gradually increased according to the user's learning progress. In this way, by adjusting the difficulty of the quiz based on the user's learning history, effective learning support can be provided.

[0100] The tracking unit can also set a user's learning goals and customize tracking results based on the set learning goals. For example, if a user's goal is to pass a specific exam, the tracking unit can prioritize and display progress on topics related to that exam. Also, if a user's goal is to acquire a new skill, the tracking unit can display detailed learning progress related to that skill. Furthermore, if a user has a long-term learning goal, the tracking unit can display progress toward that goal in stages. This makes it possible to provide effective learning support by providing tracking results according to the user's learning goals.

[0101] The analysis unit can also predict the effectiveness of learning based on the user's learning history and suggest a study plan based on the prediction results. For example, if the user has previously achieved high scores on a specific topic, the analysis unit can suggest advanced study content related to that topic. It can also suggest basic study content for topics in which the user is weak. It can also adjust the progress of the study plan according to the user's learning pace. This can improve learning efficiency by providing an effective study plan based on the user's learning history.

[0102] The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the type of data to be collected based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data related to relaxing content. Also, if the user is excited, the collection unit can collect data related to challenging content. Furthermore, if the user is concentrating, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data related to learning. In this way, by collecting data according to the user's emotions, more effective learning support can be provided.

[0103] The analysis unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of providing feedback on the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the analysis unit can emphasize positive feedback. If the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can provide detailed feedback. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can provide concise feedback that focuses on the main points. In this way, providing feedback that matches the user's emotions can make it easier to maintain motivation to learn.

[0104] The generation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the quiz format based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a multiple-choice quiz can be provided. If the user is concentrating, a descriptive quiz can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is excited, an interactive quiz can be provided. This makes it possible to maximize the learning effect by providing a quiz format that suits the user's emotions.

[0105] The tracking unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method of the tracking results based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the tracking unit can reduce the notification. If the user is relaxed, the tracking unit can provide detailed notifications. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the tracking unit can provide concise notifications that focus on the main points. In this way, by providing a notification method that corresponds to the user's emotions, it is possible to effectively manage the progress of learning.

[0106] The analysis unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of displaying the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the display of the analysis results can be delayed. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the analysis results can be displayed immediately. Furthermore, if the user is concentrating, the analysis results can be displayed at a time that does not interfere with learning. This makes it possible to improve learning efficiency by providing a timing for displaying the analysis results according to the user's emotions.

[0107] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0108] Step 1: The collection unit collects the user's search history or quiz results. For example, the collection unit collects the user's search history for a specific topic and data on the questions they answered correctly and incorrectly in the quiz. The collection unit also collects information necessary to understand the user's learning progress and level of understanding. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the user's learning progress and level of understanding based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's search history and quiz results to evaluate the user's learning progress and level of understanding. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's learning patterns to evaluate the effectiveness of their learning. Step 3: The generator generates a personalized quiz based on the information obtained by the analyzer. For example, the generator generates a quiz that includes many questions on topics that the user is weak at. The generator can also include questions on topics that the user is strong at, thereby maintaining a balanced learning experience. Step 4: The tracking unit tracks the results of the quiz generated by the generation unit and visualizes the learning progress. For example, the tracking unit displays the number of questions the user answered correctly in the quiz and the change in the user's understanding of a specific topic in graphs and charts. The tracking unit can also monitor the user's learning progress in real time and evaluate the effectiveness of the learning.

[0109] 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.

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.

[0111] 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.

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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0145] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0146] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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).

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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).

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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."

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.
