The display unit displays the generated travel plan to the user, for example, on the display 343 of the headset terminal 314. The support unit suggests events and restaurants in real time during the trip using, for example, the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. === Hard Collateral 1-4 === Each of the multiple elements including the collection unit, generation unit, display unit, and support unit described above is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the collection unit collects the user's smartphone usage data and hobbies and preferences using the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the robot 414. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and analyzes the collected data to generate an optimal travel plan. The display unit displays the generated travel plan to the user, for example, by the display or speaker 240 of the robot 414. The support unit, for example, suggests events and restaurants in real time during the trip using the control unit 46A of the robot 414.
[0104] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0105] In addition to the user's smartphone usage data, the collection unit can also collect the user's health data. For example, the collection unit may collect heart rate, step count, sleep data, and the like from the user's smartwatch or fitness tracker. The collection unit can also adjust travel plan suggestions based on the user's health condition. For example, if the user is tired, the collection unit can suggest sightseeing spots and activities that will help them relax. This makes it possible to provide the user with an optimal travel plan tailored to their health condition.
[0106] The generator can take into account the user's past ratings of travel plans when generating a travel plan based on the user's interests and preferences. For example, the generator can prioritize suggesting tourist spots and activities that the user has previously rated highly. The generator can also adjust the plan to avoid elements that the user has previously rated poorly. This can improve user satisfaction by generating a travel plan that reflects the user's past ratings.
[0107] The display unit can customize the generated travel plan based on the user's visual preferences when displaying it on the user's smartphone. For example, the display design can be adjusted using the user's preferred colors and fonts. The display unit can also adjust the layout and icon design based on the user's visual preferences. This allows for a more attractive display by providing a display design based on the user's visual preferences.
[0108] The support unit can take the user's current weather information into account when making real-time suggestions for events and restaurants during a trip. For example, if it's raining, it can suggest indoor activities, and if it's sunny, it can suggest outdoor activities. The support unit can also adjust the next day's plans based on the weather forecast. This can improve the user's travel experience by making optimal suggestions based on the weather.
[0109] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of data collection based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, data collection is performed frequently to collect detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, the collection unit can reduce the frequency of data collection to reduce the burden on the user. In this way, the burden on the user can be reduced by adjusting the timing of data collection according to the user's emotions.
[0110] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the representation of the travel plan based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the generation unit can generate a travel plan that proceeds at a leisurely pace. Alternatively, if the user is in a hurry, the generation unit can generate a travel plan that emphasizes the shortest route. In this way, by adjusting the representation of the travel plan according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate travel plan can be provided.
[0111] The display unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the display unit can provide a display method that shows the user proceeding at a leisurely pace. Alternatively, if the user is in a hurry, the display unit can provide a display method that emphasizes the shortest route. This allows for more appropriate display by adjusting the display method according to the user's emotions.
[0112] The support unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of real-time suggestions based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the support unit can make suggestions to proceed at a leisurely pace. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the support unit can make suggestions that allow for a quick response. This allows for more appropriate suggestions to be made by adjusting the content of real-time suggestions according to the user's emotions.
[0113] 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. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed data is preferentially collected. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, the collection unit can also preferentially collect only important data. In this way, by determining the priority of data to be collected according to the user's emotions, important data can be preferentially collected.
[0114] When generating a travel plan, the generation unit can determine the priority of the plan based on the time of submission by the user. For example, if the user submits the plan early, a detailed plan is generated preferentially. In addition, if the user submits the plan at the last minute, the generation unit can also prioritize a plan that can be generated quickly. In this way, by determining the priority of plans based on the time of submission by the user, it is possible to provide a quick and appropriate travel plan.
[0115] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0116] Step 1: The collection unit collects the user's smartphone usage data or hobbies and preferences, such as the user's frequently visited websites and app usage history, search history, location information, survey results, and social media posts. Step 2: The generation unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and generates a travel plan based on the user's interests and preferences. For example, if the user likes nature, it will suggest natural tourist spots and activities, and if the user is interested in food, it will suggest delicious local restaurants and places to eat. The processing in the generation unit may be performed using generation AI (for example, text generation AI or multimodal generation AI). Step 3: The display unit displays the travel plan generated by the generation unit on the user's smartphone. The user can customize the displayed travel plan as needed. Step 4: The support department will provide real-time event and restaurant suggestions during the trip. For example, it will provide real-time suggestions about nearby events and recommended restaurants during the trip.
[0117] 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.
[0118] 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.

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.
[0119] 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.

[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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).
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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."
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
