In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. 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 recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention quickly recommends recommended spots in the form of realistic videos based on a user's current situation and preferences. The recommendation system accepts and analyzes user input, selects spots, and generates and provides videos. For example, if a user inputs a preference such as "Is there anywhere I can go and return to in about an hour?" or "I can't imagine whether it will taste good after all," the system recommends the most suitable spots based on this. The system selects spots based on the user's current location and preferences, and generates realistic videos based on information about the selected spots. This allows the user to experience the experience as if they were actually at the place. This allows the recommendation system to easily find the most suitable spots based on the user's current situation and preferences, facilitating smooth decision-making in the city.

[0029] A recommendation system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives user input. The user input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and gesture input. The reception unit receives, for example, specific user preferences, such as "a place I can get to and return from in about an hour" or "a place where I can eat delicious food." The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and selects a spot based on the user's current location and preferences. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm to obtain the user's current location from GPS information or Wi-Fi location information, and selects an optimal spot based on the user's preferences. The generation unit generates a video based on information about the spot selected by the analysis unit. The generation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to generate a video including footage of the interior of the selected spot and footage of the food. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The provision unit provides the video generated by the generation unit to the user. The provision unit displays the video, for example, through a web application or a mobile application. The providing unit can also receive feedback from the user, allowing the recommendation system according to the embodiment to recommend optimal spots based on the user's current situation and preferences, and to provide realistic videos to support the user's decision-making.

[0030] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest an appropriate input method. For example, the reception unit can automatically display as candidates the current location or preferences that the user has frequently input in the past. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and suggest the current location or preferences to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. This improves the user's input efficiency by suggesting the optimal input method based on the past input history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0031] The reception unit can add a function to automatically complete input content based on the user's current activity status. For example, when the user is moving, the reception unit automatically obtains the user's current location and completes the input content. Furthermore, when the user is engaged in a specific activity, the reception unit can automatically suggest preferences related to that activity. Furthermore, when the user is in a specific time period, the reception unit can automatically suggest spots suitable for that time period. This reduces the effort required for input by providing an input completion function according to the user's current activity status. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI.

[0032] The reception unit can diversify input means by using voice recognition or gesture recognition when a user inputs information. For example, the reception unit can automatically set the user's current location and preferences by simply inputting "a good restaurant nearby" by voice. The reception unit can also allow the user to easily set the user's current location and preferences by performing a specific gesture on the smartphone screen. The reception unit can also allow the user to set the user's current location and preferences more intuitively by combining voice input and gesture input. In this way, the use of voice recognition or gesture recognition diversifies the user's input means and improves convenience. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0033] The reception unit can present highly relevant input candidates taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the reception unit can prioritize displaying spots close to the user's current location as input candidates. Furthermore, if the user is in a specific area, the reception unit can also display spots related to that area as input candidates. Furthermore, if the user is taking a specific route, the reception unit can also display spots related to that route as input candidates. In this way, input candidates based on the user's geographical location information are presented, thereby improving input efficiency. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.

The reception unit can also simplify the input procedure based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The reception unit can also adjust the priority of input content based on feedback provided by the user in the past. In this way, the input interface can be customized based on past feedback, thereby improving the user's input experience. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.

[0036] The analysis unit can analyze the user's past behavior history and improve the accuracy of spot selection. The analysis unit can, for example, suggest related spots based on spots the user has visited in the past. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's past behavior history to analyze preferences and suggest optimal spots. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's past behavior history to suggest spots that avoid crowds. This improves the accuracy of spot selection based on the user's past behavior history, making it possible to suggest optimal spots for the user. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0037] The analysis unit can select spots based on the user's current weather and traffic conditions. For example, the analysis unit preferentially suggests indoor spots when it is raining. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also suggest spots that avoid traffic congestion when traffic congestion occurs. Furthermore, the analysis unit can preferentially suggest outdoor spots when it is sunny. In this way, the optimal spots can be suggested to the user by taking into account the current weather and traffic conditions.

[0038] The analysis unit can customize spot selection criteria based on the user's preferences. The analysis unit can suggest restaurants based on the type of cuisine the user prefers, for example. The analysis unit can also suggest spots based on the user's preferred activities. The analysis unit can also suggest optimal spots based on the user's past selection history. This allows the analysis unit to suggest optimal spots to the user by providing spot selection criteria based on the user's preferences. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0039] The analysis unit can prioritize selecting relevant spots taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize selecting spots close to the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is in a specific area, the analysis unit can prioritize selecting spots related to that area. Furthermore, if the user is taking a specific route, the analysis unit can prioritize selecting spots related to that route. This allows the analysis unit to suggest optimal spots to the user by providing spots based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.

[0040] The analysis unit can analyze the user's social media activity and select related spots. For example, the analysis unit can select places where the user has checked in on social media as spots. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and select related spots. The analysis unit can also select related spots by referring to the activities of the user's friends on social media. This makes it possible to suggest optimal spots to the user by providing related spots based on social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing by the analysis unit can be performed, for example, using AI, or can be performed without using AI.

[0041] The analysis unit can customize the spot selection algorithm by reflecting the user's past feedback.

In this way, by customizing the spot selection algorithm based on past feedback, it is possible to suggest optimal spots to the user. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.

[0042] The generation unit can customize the content of the video based on detailed information about the selected spot. The generation unit generates a video that includes, for example, footage of the interior of the selected restaurant and the food. The generation unit can also generate a video that includes footage of the scenery and activities at the selected tourist spot. The generation unit can also generate a video that includes footage of the interior of the selected store and product introductions. In this way, by customizing the video based on detailed information about the selected spot, it is possible to provide the user with an optimal video. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI.

[0043] The generation unit can analyze the user's past viewing history and adjust the video generation algorithm. The generation unit can analyze the user's preferences based on, for example, the content of videos the user has viewed in the past, and generate an optimal video. The generation unit can also generate a video that adds visually appealing effects based on the user's past viewing history. The generation unit can also analyze the user's past viewing history and generate a video that includes the most interesting content. In this way, the video generation algorithm can be optimized based on the past viewing history, and the optimal video can be provided to the user.

[0059] The generation unit can analyze the user's past viewing history and adjust the video generation algorithm. For example, the generation unit analyzes the user's preferences based on the content of videos the user has viewed in the past and generates the optimal video. The generation unit can also generate videos that add visually appealing effects based on the user's past viewing history. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the user's past viewing history and generate videos that include the most interesting content. In this way, the video generation algorithm can be optimized based on the user's past viewing history, making it possible to provide the user with the optimal video.

[0060] The reception unit can customize the input interface by reflecting the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit can adjust the design of the input interface based on the user's past feedback. The reception unit can also simplify the input procedure based on the user's past feedback.

In this way, the input interface can be customized based on the user's past feedback, thereby improving the input experience.

[0061] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0062] Step 1: The reception unit receives user input. User input includes text input, voice input, gesture input, etc. For example, the reception unit receives input of specific user preferences such as "a place I can get to and return from in about an hour" or "a place where I can eat delicious food." Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and selects a spot based on the user's current location and preferences. The analysis unit uses an algorithm to obtain the user's current location from GPS information and Wi-Fi location information, and selects the optimal spot based on the user's preferences. Step 3: The generation unit generates a video based on the information about the spots selected by the analysis unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a video that includes footage of the interior of the selected spots and the food. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 4: The providing unit provides the video generated by the generating unit to the user. The providing unit displays the video through a web application or a mobile application. The providing unit can also accept user feedback.

[0063] (Example 2) A recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention quickly recommends recommended spots in the form of realistic videos based on a user's current situation and preferences. The recommendation system accepts and analyzes user input, selects spots, and generates and provides videos. For example, if a user inputs a preference such as "Is there anywhere I can go and return to in about an hour?" or "I can't imagine whether it will taste good after all," the system recommends the most suitable spots based on this. The system selects spots based on the user's current location and preferences, and generates realistic videos based on information about the selected spots. This allows the user to experience the experience as if they were actually at the place. This allows the recommendation system to easily find the most suitable spots based on the user's current situation and preferences, facilitating smooth decision-making in the city.

[0064] A recommendation system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives user input. The user input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and gesture input. The reception unit receives, for example, specific user preferences, such as "a place I can get to and return from in about an hour" or "a place where I can eat delicious food." The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and selects a spot based on the user's current location and preferences. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm to obtain the user's current location from GPS information or Wi-Fi location information, and selects an optimal spot based on the user's preferences. The generation unit generates a video based on information about the spot selected by the analysis unit. The generation unit, for example, uses a generation AI to generate a video including footage of the interior of the selected spot and footage of the food. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The provision unit provides the video generated by the generation unit to the user. The provision unit displays the video, for example, through a web application or a mobile application. The providing unit can also receive feedback from the user, allowing the recommendation system according to the embodiment to recommend optimal spots based on the user's current situation and preferences, and to provide realistic videos to support the user's decision-making.

[0065] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the input interface based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can provide a simple interface and minimize input steps. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can provide detailed input options and suggest customizable input methods. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can prioritize voice input and enable the user to quickly input their current location and preferences. This improves the user's input experience by providing an interface that corresponds to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

[0066] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest an appropriate input method. For example, the reception unit can automatically display as candidates the current location or preferences that the user has frequently input in the past. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and suggest the current location or preferences to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. This improves the user's input efficiency by suggesting the optimal input method based on the past input history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0067] The reception unit can add a function to automatically complete input content based on the user's current activity status. For example, when the user is moving, the reception unit automatically obtains the user's current location and completes the input content. Furthermore, when the user is engaged in a specific activity, the reception unit can automatically suggest preferences related to that activity. Furthermore, when the user is in a specific time period, the reception unit can automatically suggest spots suitable for that time period. This reduces the effort required for input by providing an input completion function according to the user's current activity status. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI.

[0068] The reception unit can diversify input means by using voice recognition or gesture recognition when a user inputs information. For example, the reception unit can automatically set the user's current location and preferences by simply inputting "a good restaurant nearby" by voice. The reception unit can also allow the user to easily set the user's current location and preferences by performing a specific gesture on the smartphone screen. The reception unit can also allow the user to set the user's current location and preferences more intuitively by combining voice input and gesture input. In this way, the use of voice recognition or gesture recognition diversifies the user's input means and improves convenience. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts to select related spots. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also select related spots by taking into account the activities of the user's friends on social media. In this way, it is possible to suggest the best spots for the user by providing related spots based on social media activity.

[0104] The generation unit can analyze the user's past viewing history and adjust the video generation algorithm. For example, the generation unit analyzes the user's preferences based on the content of videos the user has viewed in the past and generates the optimal video. The generation unit can also generate videos that add visually appealing effects based on the user's past viewing history. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the user's past viewing history and generate videos that include the most interesting content. In this way, the video generation algorithm can be optimized based on the user's past viewing history, making it possible to provide the user with the optimal video.

[0105] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the order in which videos are provided based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, videos that are relaxing can be provided preferentially. If the user is in a hurry, videos that can be viewed quickly can be provided preferentially. Furthermore, if the user is excited, videos that are visually stimulating can be provided preferentially. In this way, the viewing experience can be improved by providing a video provision order that corresponds to the user's emotions.

[0106] The reception unit can customize the input interface by reflecting the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit can adjust the design of the input interface based on the user's past feedback. The reception unit can also simplify the input procedure based on the user's past feedback. Furthermore, the reception unit can adjust the priority of input contents based on the user's past feedback. In this way, the input interface can be customized based on the user's past feedback, thereby improving the input experience.

[0107] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis algorithm based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a detailed analysis can be performed to suggest more spots. If the user is in a hurry, a quick analysis can be performed to suggest the most suitable spots. Furthermore, if the user is excited, visually stimulating spots can be prioritized. This allows the accuracy of the analysis results to be improved by providing an analysis algorithm that corresponds to the user's emotions.

[0108] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0109] Step 1: The reception unit receives user input. User input includes text input, voice input, gesture input, etc. For example, the reception unit receives input of specific user preferences such as "a place I can get to and return from in about an hour" or "a place where I can eat delicious food." Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and selects a spot based on the user's current location and preferences. The analysis unit uses an algorithm to obtain the user's current location from GPS information and Wi-Fi location information, and selects the optimal spot based on the user's preferences. Step 3: The generation unit generates a video based on the information about the spots selected by the analysis unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a video that includes footage of the interior of the selected spots and the food. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 4: The providing unit provides the video generated by the generating unit to the user. The providing unit displays the video through a web application or a mobile application. The providing unit can also accept user feedback.

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.

[0162] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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).

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.
