Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A travel planning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes a generation AI to provide a sense of excitement when planning a trip. The system allows users to input their travel destination and keywords of interest. The generation AI then collects the latest trend information from social media and aggregates photos and locations. Furthermore, when users specify their departure and return locations, the generation AI then guides them to the optimal route, taking travel time and methods into consideration. This system allows users to create their own personalized guidebooks. For example, in a travel planning support system, a user inputs specific keywords such as "cafe hopping in Tokyo" or "museums in Paris." The generation AI then analyzes the input information and collects the latest trend information from social media. The generation AI then aggregates related photos and location information and provides it to the user. Furthermore, when a user specifies a specific route, such as "starting from Shinjuku Station, visiting cafes in Shibuya, and returning to Roppongi in the evening," the generation AI automatically generates travel times and methods for that route. This allows users to create travel plans based on the latest trend information and reduce the hassle of traveling. The travel planning support system can also distribute coupons from stores and commercial facilities through the app, earning revenue from advertising fees and performance-based publishing fees. This allows users to create their own original guidebooks and plan trips based on the latest trend information. For example, users input their travel destinations and words of interest, and the generation AI collects the latest trend information from social media and compiles photos and locations. Furthermore, when users specify their departure location, time, and return location, the generation AI takes travel time and method into consideration to guide them to the optimal route. This allows users to create their own original guidebooks and saves them the trouble of traveling. The travel planning support system can also distribute coupons from stores and commercial facilities through the app, earning revenue from advertising fees and performance-based publishing fees.
[0029] A travel planning support system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a guidance unit. The reception unit receives input from a user of a travel destination and words of interest. For example, the user inputs specific words such as "cafe hopping in Tokyo" or "art museums in Paris." The collection unit collects the latest trend information from social media based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the collection unit collects the latest posts about cafe hopping in Tokyo and information about art museums in Paris from social media. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and compiles photos and locations. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the collected information using image analysis or text analysis and compiles related photo and location information. The guidance unit provides guidance on an optimal route, taking travel time and method into consideration, based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, when a user specifies a specific route, such as "starting from Shinjuku Station, visiting cafes in Shibuya, and returning to Roppongi in the evening," the guidance unit automatically generates travel time and methods along the route. As a result, the travel planning support system according to the embodiment allows users to create their own original guidebook and plan their trip based on the latest trend information. For example, the reception unit inputs information entered by the user into the generation AI, which then performs analysis based on that information. The collection unit allows the generation AI to collect the latest trend information from social media, and the analysis unit allows the generation AI to analyze the collected information and compile photos and locations. The guidance unit provides guidance on the optimal route, taking into account travel time and method based on the information analyzed by the generation AI. This allows users to create their own original guidebook and also saves the effort of traveling.
[0030] The collection unit can collect the latest trend information from the SNS. The collection unit, for example, collects the latest trend information from the SNS. For example, the collection unit collects information about popular tourist spots and trendy restaurants from the SNS. The collection unit can also collect information about activities in which the user is interested from the SNS. For example, the collection unit collects the latest posts about activities in which the user is interested from the SNS. In this way, the collection unit can provide the user with the latest information by collecting the latest trend information from the SNS.

For example, the guidance unit can input information about the departure location, time, and return location specified by the user into the generation AI, and the generation AI can generate the optimal route based on that information.
[0033] The guidance unit can guide the user along a route that corresponds to the user's means of transportation. For example, the guidance unit guides the user along a route that corresponds to the user's means of transportation. For example, if the user travels on foot, the guidance unit guides the user along a route that is suitable for walking. Furthermore, if the user travels by public transportation, the guidance unit can also guide the user along a route that uses public transportation. Furthermore, if the user travels by bicycle, the guidance unit can also guide the user along a route that is suitable for cycling. In this way, the guidance unit can provide a more appropriate method of travel by guiding the user along a route that corresponds to the user's means of transportation. Some or all of the above-described processing in the guidance unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the guidance unit can input information about the user's means of transportation into the generation AI, and the generation AI can generate an optimal route based on that information.
[0034] The guidance unit can perform navigation according to the user's walking speed. For example, the guidance unit performs navigation according to the user's walking speed. For example, the guidance unit performs navigation according to the user's walking speed, providing a more comfortable journey. The guidance unit can also monitor the user's walking speed in real time and adjust navigation. For example, the guidance unit detects the user's walking speed with a sensor and performs navigation according to that speed. Furthermore, the guidance unit can calculate travel time based on the user's walking speed and provide guidance on an optimal route. For example, the guidance unit calculates travel time based on the user's walking speed and provides guidance on a route according to that time. In this way, the guidance unit can provide a more comfortable journey by performing navigation according to the user's walking speed. Some or all of the above-described processing in the guidance unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the guidance unit can input information about the user's walking speed into the generation AI, and the generation AI can adjust navigation based on that information.
[0035] The reception unit can analyze the user's past travel history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's past travel history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit can automatically display related destinations and words of interest as candidates based on places the user has visited in the past. The reception unit can also prioritize suggesting input methods (such as voice and text) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest destinations related to specific seasons or events based on the user's past travel history. This allows the reception unit to suggest the optimal input method based on the user's past travel history, thereby improving input efficiency. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past travel history data into the generation AI, which can then suggest the optimal input method based on that data.
[0036] The reception unit can present input candidates based on the user's current areas of interest and trends upon reception. For example, the reception unit presents input candidates based on the user's current areas of interest and trends upon reception. For example, the reception unit can suggest related destinations and words of interest based on topics and keywords recently searched by the user. The reception unit can also analyze the content of posts on social media accounts the user follows and present related input candidates. Furthermore, the reception unit can suggest related destinations and words of interest based on trends in online communities in which the user participates. This allows the reception unit to provide more appropriate information by presenting input candidates based on the user's current areas of interest and trends. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's areas of interest and trends into the generation AI, and the generation AI can present input candidates based on that data.
[0037] The reception unit can select the optimal input means according to the user's input method when receiving the input.

For example, if the user selects voice input, the reception unit can input a destination or words of interest using voice recognition technology. Also, if the user selects text input, the reception unit can input using a keyboard or touch screen. Furthermore, if the user selects image input, the reception unit can suggest related destinations or words of interest using image recognition technology. This allows the reception unit to select the optimal input means according to the user's input method, thereby improving input efficiency. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input data of the user's input method into the generation AI, and the generation AI can select the optimal input means based on that data.
[0038] The reception unit can present highly relevant input candidates taking into account the user's geographical location information at the time of reception.

The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI.

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