[0028] (Example 1) An AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses generative AI technology to acquire and centralize data stored in multiple databases in real time. The AI system acquires data from multiple databases in real time, converts the data from the different databases into a unified format, and centralizes it, thereby providing companies with the information they need to make business decisions in real time. For example, the AI system acquires sales information from Database A and inventory information from Database B. The AI system then uses generative AI to convert the data from the different databases into a unified format. For example, if sales information in Database A is stored in numeric format and inventory information in Database B is stored in string format, the generative AI converts them into a unified numeric format. The AI system then centralizes the unified data. This allows companies to obtain the information they need in real time from a single interface. For example, by centralizing sales information and inventory information, inventory shortages can be identified in real time. This allows companies to minimize the need for business system development and the user interface (UI). It also solves problems such as complex business flows, siloed systems caused by system updates, and the enormous costs and human resource consumption associated with system updates. For example, when migrating data from an old system to a new system during a system update, generation AI can standardize and centralize the data format, making the migration process more efficient.

For example, if the user frequently checks data during a specific time period, data acquisition can be scheduled to coincide with that time period. Also, if the user needs specific data on a specific day of the week, data acquisition can be scheduled to coincide with that day of the week. Furthermore, if the user tends to check data before and after a specific event, data acquisition can be scheduled to coincide with that event. This makes it possible to improve user convenience by optimizing the timing of data acquisition based on the user's behavioral patterns.
[0056] The conversion unit can evaluate the reliability of data and convert highly reliable data preferentially. For example, data acquired from a highly reliable data source can be converted preferentially, thereby improving the accuracy of information. Data acquired from a less reliable data source can be converted after detailed verification. Furthermore, the conversion algorithm can be adjusted according to the reliability of the data, and detailed conversion can be performed on highly reliable data and simplified conversion can be performed on less reliable data. This allows the accuracy of information to be improved by determining the priority of conversion based on the reliability of the data.
[0057] The centralization unit can adjust the centralization method depending on the purpose of data use. For example, detailed centralization can be performed on data for business analysis, while simplified centralization can be performed on data for marketing. The frequency and timing of centralization can also be adjusted depending on the purpose of data use. Furthermore, the form and format of centralization can be changed depending on the purpose of data use. In this way, by adjusting the centralization method depending on the purpose of data use, the utility value of information can be maximized.
[0058] When acquiring data, the acquisition unit can determine the acquisition priority based on the importance of the data. For example, data with high importance can be acquired preferentially and provided in real time. Data with low importance can be acquired during times when the system load is low. Furthermore, the acquisition frequency can be adjusted according to the importance of the data, allowing for efficient data acquisition. As a result, by determining the acquisition priority based on the importance of the data, important data can be acquired preferentially.
[0059] When converting data, the conversion unit can apply different conversion algorithms depending on the category of the data. For example, a numeric conversion algorithm can be applied to numeric data to increase accuracy. A character string conversion algorithm can be applied to character string data to maintain consistency of the information. Furthermore, an image conversion algorithm can be applied to image data to preserve visual information. In this way, by applying different conversion algorithms depending on the category of data, consistency of the information can be maintained.
[0060] During centralization, the centralization unit can improve the accuracy of centralization by referring to past centralization results. For example, it can analyze past centralization results and optimize the centralization algorithm. It can also correct errors from past centralization results and improve accuracy. It can also learn centralization patterns based on past centralization results and improve accuracy. In this way, it is possible to improve the accuracy of centralization by referring to past centralization results.

Specifically, if the sales information in database A is stored in numeric format and the inventory information in database B is stored in character string format, the conversion unit converts them into a unified numeric format. Step 3: The centralization unit centralizes the data converted by the conversion unit. For example, it centralizes unified data and provides the information necessary for companies to make business decisions in real time. Specifically, it centralizes sales information and inventory information, making it possible to grasp inventory shortages in real time.

The conversion unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and converts the acquired data into a unified format. The unification unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and centralizes the unified data. The acquisition unit can, for example, estimate a user's emotion and adjust the timing of data acquisition based on the estimated user's emotion. Emotion estimation is realized, for example, using an emotion engine or a generative AI.
[0095] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0096] The acquisition unit can analyze the user's past behavioral history and predict the optimal timing for data acquisition. For example, if the user frequently checks data during a specific time period, data acquisition can be scheduled to coincide with that time period. Also, if the user needs specific data on a specific day of the week, data acquisition can be scheduled to coincide with that day of the week. Furthermore, if the user tends to check data before and after a specific event, data acquisition can be scheduled to coincide with that event. This makes it possible to improve user convenience by optimizing the timing of data acquisition based on the user's behavioral patterns.
[0097] The conversion unit can evaluate the reliability of data and convert highly reliable data preferentially. For example, data acquired from a highly reliable data source can be converted preferentially, thereby improving the accuracy of information. Data acquired from a less reliable data source can be converted after detailed verification. Furthermore, the conversion algorithm can be adjusted according to the reliability of the data, and detailed conversion can be performed on highly reliable data and simplified conversion can be performed on less reliable data. This allows the accuracy of information to be improved by determining the priority of conversion based on the reliability of the data.
[0098] The centralization unit can adjust the centralization method depending on the purpose of data use. For example, detailed centralization can be performed on data for business analysis, while simplified centralization can be performed on data for marketing. The frequency and timing of centralization can also be adjusted depending on the purpose of data use. Furthermore, the form and format of centralization can be changed depending on the purpose of data use. In this way, by adjusting the centralization method depending on the purpose of data use, the utility value of information can be maximized.
[0099] The acquisition unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the frequency of data acquisition based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the frequency of data acquisition can be reduced to reduce the load on the system. Also, if the user is relaxed, the frequency of data acquisition can be increased to improve real-time performance. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, important data can be acquired with priority and provided quickly. In this way, the load on the system can be optimized by adjusting the frequency of data acquisition according to the user's emotions.
[0100] The conversion unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the accuracy of data conversion based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed conversion can be performed to increase the accuracy of the information. If the user is in a hurry, simplified conversion can be performed to quickly provide information. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, simple conversion can be performed to make the information easier to understand. In this way, the accuracy of the information can be increased by adjusting the accuracy of data conversion according to the user's emotions.
[0101] The centralization unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of centralization based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, important data can be prioritized and centralized quickly. If the user is relaxed, all data can be centralized equally to provide balanced information. If the user is in a hurry, the most important data can be prioritized and centralized quickly. Thus, by determining the priority of data according to the user's emotions, important data can be provided quickly.
[0102] When acquiring data, the acquisition unit can determine the acquisition priority based on the importance of the data. For example, data with high importance can be acquired preferentially and provided in real time. Data with low importance can be acquired during times when the system load is low. Furthermore, the acquisition frequency can be adjusted according to the importance of the data, allowing for efficient data acquisition. As a result, by determining the acquisition priority based on the importance of the data, important data can be acquired preferentially.
[0103] When converting data, the conversion unit can apply different conversion algorithms depending on the category of the data. For example, a numeric conversion algorithm can be applied to numeric data to increase accuracy. A character string conversion algorithm can be applied to character string data to maintain consistency of the information. Furthermore, an image conversion algorithm can be applied to image data to preserve visual information. In this way, by applying different conversion algorithms depending on the category of data, consistency of the information can be maintained.
[0104] During centralization, the centralization unit can improve the accuracy of centralization by referring to past centralization results. For example, it can analyze past centralization results and optimize the centralization algorithm. It can also correct errors from past centralization results and improve accuracy. It can also learn centralization patterns based on past centralization results and improve accuracy. In this way, it is possible to improve the accuracy of centralization by referring to past centralization results.
[0105] The acquisition unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of data to be acquired based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, important data can be acquired with priority and provided promptly. Also, if the user is relaxed, all data can be acquired equally to provide balanced information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the most important data can be acquired with priority and provided promptly. Thus, by determining the priority of data according to the user's emotions, important data can be provided promptly.
[0106] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0107] Step 1: The acquisition unit acquires data in real time. For example, it acquires data from multiple databases in real time and generates appropriate queries for each database to acquire the necessary data. Specifically, it acquires sales information from database A and inventory information from database B. Step 2: The conversion unit converts the data acquired by the acquisition unit into a unified format. For example, data from different databases is converted into a unified format, and the data is converted using a data format conversion algorithm. Specifically, if the sales information in database A is stored in numeric format and the inventory information in database B is stored in character string format, the conversion unit converts them into a unified numeric format. Step 3: The centralization unit centralizes the data converted by the conversion unit. For example, it centralizes unified data and provides the information necessary for companies to make business decisions in real time. Specifically, it centralizes sales information and inventory information, making it possible to grasp inventory shortages in real time.
[0108] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0109] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). 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. 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.
[0110] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. 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 the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also 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 perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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 control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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).
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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."
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
