Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A meeting automation system according to an embodiment of the present invention stores documents, communication tools, emails, and conversation histories, tracks the flow of conversation in real time, automates speech, summarizes the meeting content, and generates camera footage. The meeting automation system stores the documents, communication tools, emails, and conversation histories owned by the user in a database (DB). Next, the system tracks the flow of conversation in real time during a meeting. When the user's speech is needed, a generation AI references the DB, synthesizes the user's voice, and automatically speaks. After the meeting, the meeting content is summarized, allowing even non-attendees to understand the meeting content in five minutes. Furthermore, when camera footage is needed, a video generation AI generates camera footage in real time that appears as if the user is speaking. Furthermore, it is possible to assign an agenda and have the MTG optimizer AIs discuss and reach a conclusion. For example, the meeting automation system stores the documents, communication tools, emails, and conversation histories owned by the user in a DB. For example, the DB stores emails sent and received by the user and conversation history via chat tools. Next, the meeting automation system tracks the flow of conversation in real time during a meeting. The generation AI analyzes the audio of a meeting and understands the content of the conversation. For example, if someone asks a question during a meeting, it searches the database for an appropriate answer and synthesizes the user's voice to automatically speak it. This allows users to automate their own speech during the meeting. Next, the meeting automation system summarizes the meeting content after the meeting. The generation AI analyzes the meeting audio data, extracts key points, and creates a summary. For example, it summarizes the meeting agenda, decisions, and next action items and provides them to the user. This allows users to quickly understand the meeting content even if they are not in attendance. In addition, if camera footage is required, the meeting automation system uses the video generation AI to generate camera footage in real time, making it appear as if the user is speaking. For example, even if a user cannot attend a meeting, the video generation AI synthesizes the user's face and facial expressions to create a video that makes it appear as if the user is actually attending the meeting. This allows users to participate in meetings remotely.Furthermore, the meeting automation system can also provide an agenda and have MTG optimizer AIs discuss it among themselves to reach a conclusion. For example, multiple AIs can discuss a specific agenda and reach an optimal conclusion. This allows users to proceed with meetings efficiently. This allows the meeting automation system to automate meeting utterances and summaries, and efficiently grasp the meeting content. For example, even if a user is not present at the meeting, the meeting content can be grasped in a short amount of time. Users can also participate in meetings remotely, allowing meetings to proceed efficiently.
[0029] A conference automation system according to an embodiment includes a storage unit, a tracking unit, a speech unit, a summarizing unit, and a video generation unit.

The communication tools include, for example, chat apps and video conferencing tools. The emails include, for example, text emails and HTML emails. The conversation histories include, for example, voice data and text data. The tracking unit tracks the flow of conversation in real time based on the information stored by the storage unit. The tracking unit, for example, uses speech recognition technology to analyze the audio of the conference and understand the content of the conversation. The tracking unit can also analyze the context of the conversation using natural language processing technology. The speech unit automates speech based on the content of the conversation tracked by the tracking unit. The speech unit, for example, searches for an appropriate answer from a database, synthesizes the user's voice, and automatically speaks it. The speech unit synthesizes the user's voice using speech synthesis technology. The summarizing unit summarizes the content spoken by the speaking unit. The summarizing unit, for example, analyzes audio data of a conference and extracts important points to create a summary. The summarizing unit can also extract important information using keyword extraction technology. The video generating unit generates camera video based on the content summarized by the summarizing unit. The video generating unit, for example, synthesizes a user's face and facial expression to generate video that makes it appear as if the user is attending the conference. The video generating unit generates video using face recognition technology and facial expression generation algorithms. As a result, the conference automation system according to the embodiment automates the speech and summarization of a conference, and can efficiently grasp the content of the conference. For example, even if a user is not attending the conference, the content of the conference can be grasped in a short time. Furthermore, a user can participate in the conference remotely, allowing the conference to proceed efficiently.
[0030] The storage unit can store minutes of past meetings, email content, and chat history. The storage unit stores, for example, minutes of past meetings in text format. The minutes include the meeting agenda, comments, decisions, etc. The storage unit can also store the content of past emails in text format or HTML format. The content of emails includes the sender, recipient, subject, body, etc. The storage unit can also store the history of past chats in text format. The chat history includes the speaker, comment content, and comment time, etc. This enables centralized management of information by storing the minutes of past meetings, email content, and chat history.

This allows the flow of the conversation to be followed in real time by analyzing the audio of the conference and understanding the content of the conversation. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the tracking unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the tracking unit can input the audio data of the conference to a generation AI and have the generation AI understand the content of the conversation.
[0032] The speech unit can search for an appropriate answer from the database, synthesize the user's voice, and automatically speak it.

The speech unit can also generate an appropriate answer using a machine learning model. For example, the speech unit generates an answer to a question using a model that has learned from past conversation data. The speech unit also synthesizes the user's voice using speech synthesis technology. For example, the speech unit extracts features of the user's voice and generates synthetic speech. This allows the speech unit to search for an appropriate answer from the database, synthesize the user's voice, and automatically speak it, thereby automating the user's speech. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the speech unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the speech unit can input the answer searched for from the database to a generation AI and have the generation AI synthesize the user's voice.
[0033] The summarization unit can analyze the audio data of a meeting, extract important points, and create a summary. The summarization unit, for example, analyzes the audio data of the meeting.

For example, the summarization unit extracts the meeting agenda, decisions, next action items, etc. The summarization unit also creates a summary using a summarization algorithm. For example, the summarization unit summarizes the content of the meeting using an abstract summarization algorithm. In this way, by analyzing the audio data of the meeting, extracting important points, and creating a summary, the content of the meeting can be understood in a short period of time. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the summarization unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

For example, the image generation unit extracts the user's facial features using facial recognition technology to generate a synthetic image. The image generation unit can also synthesize the user's facial expression using a facial expression generation algorithm. For example, the image generation unit generates facial expressions in real time based on the user's facial expression data. This enables remote participation in a meeting by synthesizing the user's face and facial expression to generate an image that makes it appear as if the user is attending a meeting. Some or all of the above-described processing in the image generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the image generation unit can input the user's facial feature data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a synthetic image.
[0035] The storage unit can adjust the level of detail of storage based on the importance of the information when storing the information. The storage unit, for example, evaluates the importance of the information. For example, the storage unit evaluates the importance based on the frequency of use and relevance of the information.

The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0130] 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.
[0131] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0132] 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.

[0133] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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 estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0136] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0137] 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.

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.
[0138] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing.

The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0139] 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.

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.
[0150] 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] 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.
[0155] 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.

[0157] 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.
[0158] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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).
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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."
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
