[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.
[0025] 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.

Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes photos using AI and converts them into three-dimensional data. In this system, a user inputs a photo, and the AI analyzes the photo and generates three-dimensional data. The generated three-dimensional data allows users to immerse themselves in the world of the photo using devices such as VR. Users can re-experience the generated three-dimensional world and experience a time-travel experience to the era or place in which the photo was captured. For example, a user inputs a photo. Any photo can be input, such as a family photo or a landscape photo from a travel destination. Next, the AI analyzes the input photo. The AI analyzes each element of the photo in detail to generate three-dimensional data. For example, it analyzes the relative positions and depth of people, buildings, and scenery in the photo and creates a three-dimensional model based on that analysis. The generated three-dimensional data allows users to immerse themselves in the world of the photo using devices such as VR. By wearing VR goggles, users can experience the sensation of being inside the photo. For example, if the photo is a family photo, they can feel as if they are actually there as a family member. Furthermore, users can re-experience the generated three-dimensional world. For example, if the photo is a landscape photo from a travel destination, they can walk around the location as if they were actually visiting the place. This allows users to experience a time slip to the era and place of the photograph. This allows the system to enable users to rediscover the value of photographs from a new perspective. For example, by recreating old family photos in 3D, users can feel the memories of those times more vividly. Furthermore, by recreating historical photographs in 3D, users can gain a deeper understanding of the atmosphere and events of that era.
[0029] A photo analysis system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a control unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit accepts photo input from a user. The user can select any photo and upload it to the system. Any photo can be input, such as a family photo or a landscape photo from a travel destination. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the photo accepted by the reception unit and generate 3D data. The analysis unit analyzes each element of the photo using, for example, deep learning to generate three-dimensional data. The generation unit uses 3D modeling technology to generate a 3D model based on the 3D data generated by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates the 3D model using, for example, polygon modeling or sculpting technology. The control unit controls a VR device based on the 3D model generated by the generation unit. The control unit controls a device such as VR goggles or VR gloves to provide the user with three-dimensional data. The provision unit provides the three-dimensional data to the user through a VR device controlled by the control unit. The provision unit provides, for example, an interface that allows the user to immerse themselves in a three-dimensional world using the VR device. As a result, the photo analysis system according to the embodiment allows users to input photos, generate three-dimensional data, and experience the data through a VR device, allowing the system to rediscover the value of photos from a new perspective.
[0030] The analysis unit can analyze each element of a photo using machine learning and generate 3D data. The analysis unit can analyze each element of a photo using, for example, deep learning and generate three-dimensional data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the relative positions and depth of people, buildings, scenery, etc. in the photo and create a three-dimensional model based on that. The analysis unit can also analyze each element of a photo using a support vector machine. For example, the analysis unit can detect edges and corners in the photo and generate three-dimensional data based on that. The analysis unit can also analyze each element of a photo using a convolutional neural network. For example, the analysis unit can extract features of the photo and generate three-dimensional data based on that. In this way, by using deep learning, each element of a photo can be analyzed in detail and three-dimensional data can be generated.
[0031] The generation unit can generate a 3D model based on the 3D data using 3D modeling technology. The generation unit can generate a 3D model based on the 3D data using, for example, polygon modeling. For example, the generation unit can divide the 3D data into polygons and generate a 3D model based on the polygons. The generation unit can also generate a 3D model based on the 3D data using sculpting technology. For example, the generation unit can sculpt details based on the 3D data to generate a detailed 3D model. The generation unit can also generate a 3D model based on the 3D data using voxel-based modeling technology. For example, the generation unit can convert the 3D data into voxels and generate a 3D model based on the voxels. As a result, using 3D modeling technology can generate a highly accurate 3D model based on three-dimensional data.
[0032] The control unit can provide 3D data to a user through a VR device. The control unit can provide 3D data to a user through, for example, VR goggles. For example, the control unit can display three-dimensional data to a user wearing the VR goggles. The control unit can also provide 3D data to a user through VR gloves. For example, the control unit can provide an interface for a user wearing the VR gloves to operate the three-dimensional data. The control unit can also provide 3D data to a user through a VR chair. For example, the control unit can provide an environment for a user sitting in a VR chair to experience three-dimensional data. By providing three-dimensional data to a user through a VR device, the user can experience immersion in the world of a photograph.
[0033] The providing unit can provide an interface for the user to enter a 3D world using the VR device. The providing unit, for example, provides a user interface. For example, the providing unit provides a simple operation method for the user to enter a 3D world using the VR device. The providing unit can also provide a graphical user interface. For example, the providing unit provides an interface that the user can operate visually. The providing unit can also provide an audio interface. For example, the providing unit provides an interface that the user can operate by audio. In this way, by providing an interface for the user to enter a three-dimensional world using the VR device, the user can easily experience the three-dimensional world.
[0034] The reception unit can analyze the user's past photo input history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests input methods (such as voice and text) that the user has frequently used in the past. For example, the reception unit retrieves the user's past input history from a database and identifies the input method that was frequently used. The reception unit can also suggest the optimal input method based on the types of photos the user has uploaded in the past. For example, the reception unit analyzes metadata of photos the user has uploaded in the past and selects the optimal input method. The reception unit can also predict and suggest the input method that will be used in a specific time period based on the user's past input history. For example, the reception unit chronologically analyzes the user's past input history and identifies the input method that will be used in a specific time period. In this way, the optimal input method can be suggested by analyzing the user's past photo input history.
[0035] The reception unit can filter the photos based on the user's current project or area of interest when the photos are input. For example, the reception unit filters the photos so that the user only inputs photos related to the project currently in progress. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's project information from a database and identifies related photos. The reception unit can also preferentially input related photos based on the user's area of interest. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's area of interest from profile information and identifies related photos. The reception unit can also filter related photos by referring to the user's past project history. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's past project history from a database and identifies related photos. In this way, by filtering photos based on the user's current project or area of interest, highly relevant photos can be preferentially input.
[0036] When a user inputs a photo, the reception unit can select the optimal input means depending on the user's input method (voice, text, image, etc.). For example, if the user selects voice input, the reception unit inputs a description of the photo using voice recognition technology. For example, the reception unit converts the user's voice into text using voice recognition software and saves it as a description of the photo. Furthermore, if the user selects text input, the reception unit can also provide a simple text input interface. For example, the reception unit provides an interface for the user to input a description of the photo using a keyboard. Furthermore, if the user selects image input, the reception unit can also analyze the content of the photo using image recognition technology. For example, the reception unit analyzes the content of the photo using image recognition software and saves it as a description of the photo. In this way, an interface that is easy for the user to use can be provided by selecting the optimal input means depending on the user's input method.
[0037] When inputting photos, the reception unit can prioritize inputting photos with high relevance based on the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception unit prioritizes inputting photos taken in locations close to the user's current location. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's current location from GPS data and identifies photos taken in the vicinity. The reception unit can also prioritize inputting photos related to locations the user has visited in the past. For example, the reception unit acquires the user's past location information from a database and identifies related photos. The reception unit can also prioritize inputting photos of events or places related to the user's current location. For example, the reception unit identifies photos of related events or places based on the user's current location. In this way, highly relevant photos can be prioritized by taking the user's geographical location information into consideration.
[0038] When inputting photos, the reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and input related photos. The reception unit, for example, preferentially inputs photos shared by the user on social media. For example, the reception unit obtains and inputs photos shared from the user's social media account. The reception unit can also analyze the content posted by the user on social media and input related photos. For example, the reception unit can analyze the content posted by the user using text analysis technology and identify related photos. The reception unit can also input related photos with reference to the activity of the user's friends on social media. For example, the reception unit can analyze the content posted by the user's friends and identify related photos. In this way, the reception unit can preferentially input related photos by analyzing the user's social media activity.
[0039] The reception unit can customize the input method based on the user's past feedback when inputting a photo. For example, the reception unit preferentially provides an input method that the user has previously preferred. For example, the reception unit obtains the user's past feedback from a database and identifies the preferred input method. The reception unit can also customize the input interface based on the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit adjusts the design and functions of the input interface based on the user's feedback. The reception unit can also optimize the input procedure by referring to the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit simplifies the input procedure and improves usability based on the user's feedback. In this way, the input method can be optimized by reflecting the user's past feedback.
[0040] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the accuracy of the analysis based on the importance of the photo. The analysis unit, for example, performs a detailed analysis on important photos. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis based on the importance specified by the user. The analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis on general photos. For example, the analysis unit performs a concise analysis based on the importance specified by the user. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance specified by the user. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance specified by the user. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the photo, a detailed analysis can be performed on important photos.
[0041] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms based on the category of the photo. For example, the analysis unit applies a face recognition algorithm to photos of people. For example, the analysis unit uses the face recognition algorithm to detect faces in photos of people and perform analysis. The analysis unit can also apply a landscape analysis algorithm to photos of landscapes. For example, the analysis unit uses a landscape analysis algorithm to detect features in photos of landscapes and perform analysis. The analysis unit can also apply a building analysis algorithm to photos of buildings. For example, the analysis unit uses a building analysis algorithm to detect the structure of photos of buildings and perform analysis. This allows for more accurate analysis by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the photo.
[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis based on the user's past analysis results. The analysis unit, for example, adjusts the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit retrieves the user's past analysis results from a database and optimizes the analysis algorithm. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's past analysis results and suggests an optimal analysis method. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of the analysis based on the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved by referring to the user's past analysis results.
[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the order of analysis based on the time the photos were taken. The analysis unit, for example, prioritizes analyzing photos taken recently. For example, the analysis unit obtains the time of photo shooting from the metadata of the photos and identifies the photos taken recently. The analysis unit can also prioritize analyzing photos taken at a specific time. For example, the analysis unit identifies photos based on the time of photo shooting specified by the user. The analysis unit can also determine the priority of analysis based on the time of photo shooting specified by the user. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the order of analysis based on the time of photo shooting specified by the user. In this way, by determining the priority of analysis based on the time of photo shooting, more important photos can be analyzed preferentially.
[0044] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the priority of analysis based on the relevance of the photos. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant photos. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the photos and identifies highly relevant photos. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance specified by the user. For example, the analysis unit adjusts the order of analysis based on the relevance specified by the user. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis based on the content of the photos. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the photos and identifies highly relevant photos. In this way, by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of the photos, highly relevant photos can be analyzed preferentially.
[0045] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis based on the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user has specialized knowledge, the analysis unit performs an analysis that makes extensive use of technical terms. For example, the analysis unit obtains the expertise level from the user's profile information and performs an analysis that makes extensive use of technical terms. Furthermore, if the user has general knowledge, the analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis. For example, the analysis unit obtains the expertise level from the user's profile information and performs a concise analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis based on the user's level of expertise. For example, the analysis unit obtains the expertise level from the user's profile information and adjusts the use of technical terms. In this way, by adjusting the use of technical terms in the analysis based on the user's level of expertise, it is possible to provide analysis results that are easy for the user to understand.
[0046] The generation unit can adjust the accuracy of the 3D model based on the importance of the photo during generation. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed 3D model for an important photo. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed 3D model based on the importance specified by the user. The generation unit can also generate a concise 3D model for an ordinary photo. For example, the generation unit generates a concise 3D model based on the importance specified by the user. The generation unit can also adjust the level of detail of the 3D model based on the importance specified by the user. For example, the generation unit adjusts the level of detail of the 3D model based on the importance specified by the user. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the 3D model based on the importance of the photo, a detailed 3D model can be generated for an important photo.
[0047] The generation unit can apply different 3D modeling techniques based on the photo category during generation. For example, the generation unit applies a technique for generating a detailed 3D model of a face to a portrait photo. For example, the generation unit uses face recognition technology to reproduce the face in detail in the portrait photo. The generation unit can also apply a technique for generating a wide-area 3D model to a landscape photo. For example, the generation unit applies a technique for reproducing a wide area of the landscape photo. The generation unit can also apply a technique for reproducing the building structure in detail to a building photo. For example, the generation unit applies a technique for reproducing the building structure in detail. In this way, by applying different 3D modeling techniques depending on the photo category, a more accurate 3D model can be generated.
[0048] During generation, the generation unit can improve the accuracy of the 3D model based on the user's past generation results. The generation unit, for example, adjusts the 3D modeling technique based on the user's past generation results. For example, the generation unit retrieves the user's past generation results from a database and optimizes the 3D modeling technique. The generation unit can also improve the accuracy of the 3D model by referring to the user's past generation results. For example, the generation unit analyzes the user's past generation results and suggests an optimal 3D modeling technique. The generation unit can also improve the accuracy of the 3D model based on the user's past generation results. For example, the generation unit adjusts the 3D modeling technique based on the user's past generation results. In this way, the accuracy of the 3D model can be improved by referring to the user's past generation results.
[0049] During generation, the generation unit can determine the order of 3D models based on the dates when the photos were taken. For example, the generation unit prioritizes creating 3D models of recently taken photos. For example, the generation unit obtains the date of taking the photos from the metadata of the photos and identifies the most recently taken photos. The generation unit can also prioritize creating 3D models of photos taken at a specific time. For example, the generation unit identifies photos based on the date of taking the photos specified by the user. The generation unit can also determine the priority of 3D models based on the date of taking the photos specified by the user. For example, the generation unit adjusts the order of 3D models based on the date of taking the photos specified by the user. In this way, by determining the priority of 3D models based on the date of taking the photos, more important photos can be preferentially created as 3D models.
[0050] The generation unit can adjust the order of the 3D models based on the relevance of the photos during generation. For example, the generation unit prioritizes the creation of 3D models from highly relevant photos. For example, the generation unit analyzes the content of the photos and identifies highly relevant photos. The generation unit can also adjust the order of the 3D models based on the relevance specified by the user. For example, the generation unit adjusts the order of the 3D models based on the relevance specified by the user. The generation unit can also adjust the order of the 3D models based on the content of the photos. For example, the generation unit analyzes the content of the photos and identifies highly relevant photos. In this way, by adjusting the order of the 3D models based on the relevance of the photos, highly relevant photos can be prioritized as 3D models.
[0051] The generation unit can adjust the use of technical terminology in the 3D model based on the user's level of expertise during generation. For example, if the user has specialized knowledge, the generation unit generates a 3D model that uses a lot of technical terminology. For example, the generation unit obtains the expertise level from the user's profile information and generates a 3D model that uses a lot of technical terminology. The generation unit can also generate a concise 3D model if the user has general knowledge. For example, the generation unit obtains the expertise level from the user's profile information and generates a concise 3D model.

Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can display an interface that prompts the user to input a photo at a slower pace. For example, the reception unit records the user's voice and detects the relaxed state using voice analysis technology. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can provide an interface that allows the user to input a photo with simple operations. For example, the reception unit collects the user's biometric data (heart rate and electrodermal activity) using a sensor and detects the user's stress level using an emotion estimation algorithm. This allows the user to input a photo at a more appropriate timing by adjusting the timing of photo input according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI can be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0082] When a user inputs a photo, the reception unit can select the optimal input means depending on the user's input method (voice, text, image, etc.). For example, if the user selects voice input, the reception unit inputs a description of the photo using voice recognition technology.

[0128] During control, the control unit can select an appropriate control method based on the user's past VR experience history. For example, the control unit selects the optimal control method based on the user's past preferred VR experiences. For example, the control unit retrieves the user's past VR experience history from a database and identifies the preferred control method. The control unit can also customize the control method by referring to the user's past VR experience history. For example, the control unit optimizes the control method based on the user's past feedback. The control unit can also adjust the control method by reflecting the user's past feedback in real time. For example, the control unit improves the control method based on the user's feedback. In this way, the optimal control method can be selected by referring to the user's past VR experience history.
[0129] The providing unit can select an appropriate providing method based on the user's geographical location information at the time of providing the data. For example, the providing unit provides related three-dimensional data based on the user's current location. For example, the providing unit acquires the user's current location from GPS data and identifies related three-dimensional data. The providing unit can also select an optimal providing method based on the user's geographical location information. For example, the providing unit acquires the user's current location from GPS data and selects an optimal providing method. The providing unit can also provide three-dimensional data of events and places related to the user's current location. For example, the providing unit identifies three-dimensional data of related events and places based on the user's current location. This makes it possible to select an optimal providing method by taking the user's geographical location information into consideration.
[0130] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0131] Step 1: The reception unit accepts the input of a photo from the user. The user can select any photo and upload it to the system. For example, any photo can be input, such as a family photo or a landscape photo from a travel destination. Step 2: The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the photo received by the reception unit and generate 3D data. The analysis unit uses, for example, deep learning to analyze each element of the photo and generate three-dimensional data. Step 3: The generator generates a 3D model based on the 3D data generated by the analyzer using a 3D modeling technique, such as polygon modeling or sculpting. Step 4: The control unit controls a VR device based on the 3D model generated by the generation unit. The control unit controls a device such as VR goggles or VR gloves to provide the user with three-dimensional data. Step 5: The providing unit provides the user with three-dimensional data through the VR device controlled by the control unit. The providing unit provides, for example, an interface that allows the user to enter the three-dimensional world using the VR device.

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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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).
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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."
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure.
