[0028] (Example 1) A destination recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a user inputs information, and an AI analyzes the information to recommend optimal destinations and provide detailed information. In the destination recommendation system, a user inputs information such as their preferences, children's ages, and interests, and an AI analyzes the information to recommend optimal destinations. For example, a user inputs information such as "I have a 3-year-old child," "I like zoos," and "I want to go on weekends." This information is then input into the AI. The AI then analyzes the input information and recommends optimal destinations based on the user's preferences, children's ages, and interests. For example, it suggests places where children can have fun, such as zoos, parks, and museums. It also considers factors such as the user's current location, weather, and season to make recommendations at optimal times. Furthermore, the AI provides detailed information about the recommended destinations, such as the zoo's opening hours, admission fees, and access information. This allows users to easily understand the details of their destinations. This allows the outing recommendation system to save parents the trouble of researching different places to take their children, and also suggests places that will interest children, making outings more enjoyable.

The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the information input by the reception unit. The analysis may be performed using, but is not limited to, methods such as data mining, statistical analysis, and machine learning. For example, the analysis unit analyzes optimal outing destinations based on information such as the user's preferences, their children's ages, and interests. The recommendation unit recommends outing destinations based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The recommendation may be performed based on, but is not limited to, a type of algorithm or an evaluation criterion. For example, the recommendation unit suggests places where children can enjoy themselves, such as zoos, parks, and museums. The provision unit provides detailed information about the outing destinations recommended by the recommendation unit. The detailed information includes, but is not limited to, for example, text information, images, links, etc. For example, the providing unit provides information such as the zoo's opening hours, admission fees, and access methods. This allows the destination recommendation system according to the embodiment to efficiently analyze user information, recommend optimal destinations, and provide detailed information.
[0030] The analysis unit can perform analysis based on the user's past behavioral history and ratings. The analysis unit, for example, performs analysis taking into account the user's past behavioral history. Past behavioral history includes, but is not limited to, visit history, search history, and purchase history. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the best destination for a trip based on places the user has visited in the past and keywords searched for by the user. The analysis unit can also perform analysis taking into account the user's ratings. Ratings include, but are not limited to, user feedback, star ratings, and comments. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the best destination for a trip based on places the user has rated in the past and comments.

By providing detailed information about the recommended destination, the user can easily understand the details of the destination.
[0033] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal input method. The reception unit, for example, preferentially suggests an input method (such as voice or text) that the user has frequently used in the past. The input history includes, but is not limited to, past input data, input frequency, and the like. For example, if the user has frequently used voice input in the past, the reception unit preferentially suggests voice input. The reception unit can also provide an auto-completion function to reduce the effort required for input based on information previously input by the user. For example, the reception unit auto-completes addresses previously input by the user. The reception unit can also predict and suggest an input method to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. For example, if the user frequently uses voice input at night, the reception unit suggests voice input at night. In this way, the optimal input method can be selected by analyzing the user's past input history, reducing the effort required for input.
[0034] The reception unit can filter information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest when inputting information. The reception unit, for example, displays only relevant information on the input screen based on the user's current living situation (work, home, etc.). Examples of living situations include, but are not limited to, occupation, home environment, and health status. For example, if the user is at work, the reception unit displays only information related to work. The reception unit can also filter the information to be input based on the user's areas of interest (hobbies, interests, etc.) to display only highly relevant information. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, hobbies and topics of interest. For example, if the user is interested in sports, the reception unit displays only information related to sports. The reception unit can also determine the priority of the information to be input based on the user's living situation and areas of interest, allowing important information to be input first. For example, the reception unit prompts the user to input information related to their home environment first. In this way, by filtering information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest, only highly relevant information can be displayed.
[0035] The reception unit can select an optimal input means depending on the user's input method when inputting information. For example, if the user prefers voice input, the reception unit provides voice input preferentially and uses text input as an auxiliary. Input methods include, but are not limited to, voice input, text input, and image input. For example, if the user prefers voice input, the reception unit provides voice input preferentially and uses text input as an auxiliary. Furthermore, if the user prefers text input, the reception unit can provide text input preferentially and use voice input as an auxiliary. For example, if the user prefers text input, the reception unit can provide text input preferentially and use voice input as an auxiliary. Furthermore, if the user prefers image input, the reception unit can provide image input preferentially and use text and voice input as an auxiliary. For example, if the user prefers image input, the reception unit can provide image input preferentially and use text and voice input as an auxiliary. In this way, by selecting an optimal input means depending on the user's input method, input efficiency is improved.
[0036] When inputting information, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant information in consideration of the user's geographical location information. The reception unit, for example, causes the user to prioritize inputting information about places close to the user's current location. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS information, IP address, etc. For example, the reception unit can cause the user to prioritize inputting information about places close to the user's current location.

Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, with an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the reception unit can prompt the user to input quickly and allow the user to enter information while their interest is high. For example, the reception unit can capture the user's facial expression with a camera and estimate the user's emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the reception unit can adjust the timing of prompting input and prompt the user to input after a break. For example, the reception unit can record the user's voice and estimate the user's emotions using voice analysis technology. This allows the user to input information at a more appropriate time by adjusting the timing of information input according to the user's emotions.
[0073] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal input method. The reception unit, for example, preferentially suggests an input method (such as voice or text) that the user has frequently used in the past. The input history includes, but is not limited to, past input data, input frequency, and the like. For example, if the user has frequently used voice input in the past, the reception unit preferentially suggests voice input. The reception unit can also provide an auto-completion function to reduce the effort required for input based on information previously input by the user. For example, the reception unit auto-completes addresses previously input by the user. The reception unit can also predict and suggest an input method to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. For example, if the user frequently uses voice input at night, the reception unit suggests voice input at night. In this way, the optimal input method can be selected by analyzing the user's past input history, reducing the effort required for input.
[0074] The reception unit can filter information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest when inputting information.

[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] The reception unit can also estimate the user's health condition based on the user's input information and make recommendations based on the estimated health condition. For example, if the user is tired, it can suggest places where the user can relax. Also, if the user is active, it can suggest places where the user can exercise. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest places that will help relieve stress. This makes it possible to make recommendations based on the user's health condition.
[0106] In addition to the user's past behavioral history, the analysis unit can also use the user's social media activity for analysis. For example, it can analyze places of interest based on the places the user has checked in to on social media and the content of their posts. It can also use places visited and rated by the user's friends for analysis. Furthermore, it can also reflect the frequency of the user's social media activity and topics of interest in the analysis. This enables highly accurate analysis that takes into account the user's social media activity.
[0107] The recommendation unit can also make recommendations taking into account the user's current location, weather, and seasonal factors, as well as the user's means of transportation.

Furthermore, if the user uses a bicycle, it can also suggest locations within cycling distance. This makes it possible to make recommendations according to the user's means of transportation.
[0108] The providing unit can provide event information related to the user's interests in addition to detailed information about the recommended destination. For example, if a special event is being held at a zoo, that information can be provided. It can also provide information about seasonal events at parks. It can also provide information about special exhibitions and workshops at museums. This allows the user to grasp related event information along with detailed information about the destination.
[0109] The receiving unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the type of information to be input based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the receiving unit can prompt the user to input detailed information. If the user is in a hurry, the receiving unit can prompt the user to input only the minimum necessary information. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the receiving unit can prompt the user to input information that attracts the user's attention. This makes it possible to input information according to the user's emotions.
[0110] The reception unit can analyze the user's device usage history in addition to the user's past input history and select the optimal input method. For example, if the user frequently uses a smartphone, it can suggest an input method optimized for the smartphone. Also, if the user frequently uses a tablet, it can suggest an input method optimized for the tablet. Furthermore, if the user frequently uses a PC, it can suggest an input method optimized for the PC. This makes it possible to select the optimal input method based on the user's device usage history.
[0111] When inputting information, the reception unit can filter the information based on the user's lifestyle in addition to the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is health-conscious, only health-related information can be displayed. If the user is eco-conscious, only environmentally friendly information can be displayed. Furthermore, if the user is outdoorsy, only outdoor-related information can be displayed. This makes it possible to filter information based on the user's lifestyle.
[0112] When inputting information, the reception unit not only selects the optimal input means according to the user's input method, but also adjusts the input means taking into account the user's input speed. For example, if the user inputs quickly, text input can be given priority. Also, if the user inputs slowly, voice input can be given priority. Furthermore, if the user prefers image input, image input can be given priority. In this way, the optimal input means can be selected according to the user's input speed.
[0113] The reception unit estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of information to be input based on the estimated user emotions, and can also adjust the amount of information to be input. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can reduce the amount of information to be input and encourage concise input. Also, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can encourage the user to input detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can encourage the user to input only the most important information. In this way, the amount of information to be input can be adjusted according to the user's emotions.
[0114] When inputting information, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant information by taking into consideration the user's movement history in addition to the user's geographical location information. For example, information about places the user has visited in the past can be prioritized. Also, information related to routes the user frequently travels can be prioritized. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, information related to travel destinations can be prioritized. This allows highly relevant information based on the user's movement history to be prioritized.
[0115] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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).
[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0150] 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.

The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314.

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.
[0161] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0165] 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 data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network.

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.
[0186] 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.
