[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (for example, a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12.

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.
[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.
[0025] 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.
[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 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 specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. 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 character input assistance system according to an embodiment of the present invention reduces the burden of character input by accepting input of words or short phrases and carefully converting them using a generation AI. In the character input assistance system, a user inputs words or short phrases, and a generation AI analyzes the input and generates grammatically correct sentences, which are then provided to the user. For example, if a user inputs "Meeting at 10 o'clock," the generation AI generates a grammatically correct sentence such as "There is a meeting at 10 o'clock." This allows users to obtain grammatically correct sentences with simple input. This significantly reduces the burden of character input and enables efficient communication. For example, users do not need to input complex sentences; instead, they can obtain grammatically correct sentences simply by inputting simple words or phrases.
[0029] A character input assistance system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives words or short phrases input by a user. For example, the user inputs "meeting at 10 o'clock." The analysis unit analyzes the input received by the reception unit based on the context. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the input "meeting at 10 o'clock" and identifies an appropriate grammatical structure. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate grammatically correct sentences based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates grammatically correct sentences such as "I have a meeting at 10 o'clock." The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The provision unit provides the sentences generated by the generation unit to a user. For example, the provision unit displays the generated sentences on the user's device. In this way, the character input assistance system according to an embodiment can convert input of words or short phrases into grammatically correct sentences, thereby reducing the burden of character input.
[0030] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and select an appropriate input reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially selects an input method (such as voice or text) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and select an input method to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. The reception unit can also analyze the user's past input history and select the most efficient input method. This allows for the selection of the optimal input reception method based on the user's past input history, thereby improving input efficiency. 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.
[0031] The reception unit can filter inputs based on the user's current task or area of interest when receiving the input. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives words and phrases related to the task the user is currently performing. The reception unit can also filter and receive related words and phrases based on the user's area of interest. The reception unit can also analyze the user's current task or area of interest and filter and receive the most appropriate input. In this way, by filtering the inputs based on the user's current task or area of interest, it is possible to preferentially receive highly relevant inputs. 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.
[0032] When receiving input, the reception unit can select an appropriate reception means depending on the user's input method. For example, if the user uses voice input, the reception unit can use voice recognition technology to receive the input. Furthermore, if the user uses text input, the reception unit can also preferentially receive keyboard input. Furthermore, if the user uses image input, the reception unit can also use image recognition technology to receive the input. This allows the most appropriate reception means to be selected depending on the user's input method, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of input. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI.
[0033] When receiving input, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant inputs in consideration of the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is in a specific location, the reception unit prioritizes receiving inputs related to that location. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving related words and phrases based on the user's current location. The reception unit can also analyze the user's geographical location information and prioritize receiving optimal inputs. This can improve the accuracy of inputs by preferentially receiving highly relevant inputs based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0034] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and receive related input when receiving input. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving words and phrases that the user frequently uses on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the user's posts on social media and prioritize receiving related input. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving related input by referring to the activities of the user's friends on social media. In this way, the accuracy of the input can be improved by receiving related input based on the user's social media activity. 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.
[0035] The reception unit can customize the reception method by reflecting the user's past feedback when receiving input. The reception unit customizes the optimal input reception method, for example, based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The reception unit can also preferentially accept a specific input method based on the user's past feedback. The reception unit can also analyze the user's feedback and customize the most efficient input reception method. In this way, input efficiency can be improved by customizing the reception method based on the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0036] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the input during analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on an input with high importance. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on an input with low importance. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the input. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the input. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0037] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of input during analysis. For example, the analysis unit applies a natural language processing algorithm to text input. The analysis unit can also apply an image recognition algorithm to image input. The analysis unit can also apply a voice recognition algorithm to voice input. This allows the analysis accuracy to be improved by applying the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the category of input. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0038] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results.

The analysis unit can also analyze the user's past analysis results and select the optimal analysis algorithm. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. This makes it possible to provide more accurate analysis results by improving the accuracy of the analysis based on the user's past analysis results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0039] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the analysis priority based on the time of input submission. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of input submitted earlier. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of input submitted later. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the analysis priority based on the time of submission. This enables efficient analysis by determining the analysis priority based on the time of input submission. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0040] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the inputs during analysis. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant inputs. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant inputs. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the inputs. This allows for efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of the inputs. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0041] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user's level of expertise is high, the analysis unit uses a lot of technical terms. Also, if the user's level of expertise is low, the analysis unit can avoid technical terms. Furthermore, the analysis unit can dynamically adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. This can facilitate understanding of the analysis results by adjusting the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0042] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the sentence to be generated based on the importance of the analysis result during generation. For example, the generation unit generates detailed sentences for analysis results with high importance. The generation unit can also generate simplified sentences for analysis results with low importance. The generation unit can also dynamically adjust the level of detail of the sentence to be generated according to the importance of the analysis result. This enables efficient sentence generation by adjusting the level of detail of the sentence to be generated according to the importance of the analysis result. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI.
[0043] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the category of the analysis results during generation. For example, the generation unit applies a natural language generation algorithm to text analysis results. The generation unit can also apply an image generation algorithm to image analysis results.

This allows the application of an optimal generation algorithm depending on the category of the analysis results, thereby improving the accuracy of the generated sentences. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0044] During generation, the generation unit can improve the accuracy of generation by referring to the user's past generation results. The generation unit can improve the accuracy of current generation, for example, based on the user's past generation results. The generation unit can also analyze the user's past generation results and select the optimal generation algorithm. The generation unit can also adjust the level of detail of generation by referring to the user's past generation results. This makes it possible to provide more accurate sentences by improving the accuracy of generation based on the user's past generation results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0045] At the time of generation, the generation unit can determine the priority of sentences to be generated based on the submission time of the analysis results. For example, the generation unit can generate sentences preferentially for analysis results that are submitted early. The generation unit can also postpone the generation of sentences for analysis results that are submitted late. The generation unit can also dynamically adjust the priority of sentences to be generated based on the submission time. This enables efficient sentence generation by determining the priority of sentences to be generated based on the submission time of the analysis results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0046] The generation unit can adjust the order of sentences to be generated based on the relevance of the analysis results during generation. For example, the generation unit prioritizes generating sentences for analysis results with high relevance. The generation unit can also postpone generating sentences for analysis results with low relevance. The generation unit can also dynamically adjust the order of sentences to be generated based on the relevance of the analysis results. This enables efficient sentence generation by adjusting the order of sentences to be generated based on the relevance of the analysis results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0047] The generation unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the generated sentences according to the user's level of expertise during generation. For example, if the user's level of expertise is high, the generation unit uses a lot of technical terms. Also, if the user's level of expertise is low, the generation unit can avoid technical terms. The generation unit can also dynamically adjust the use of technical terms in the generated sentences according to the user's level of expertise.

If the user inputs "weather," the analysis unit can retrieve the latest weather information from a weather forecast database and provide it to the generation unit. Furthermore, if the user inputs "news," the analysis unit can retrieve the latest related news articles from a news feed and provide it to the generation unit. In this way, by retrieving information from related external databases based on the user's input and reflecting it in the analysis results, it is possible to provide richer information.
[0055] The generation unit can generate related images and videos based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs "Meeting at 10 o'clock," the generation unit generates an image showing the meeting schedule. If the user inputs "Weather," the generation unit can also generate a video showing a weather forecast. Furthermore, if the user inputs "News," the generation unit can also generate a video summarizing a news article. In this way, by generating related images and videos based on the user's input, it is possible to provide information visually.
[0056] The analysis unit can generate relevant statistical data based on the user's input and reflect it in the analysis results. For example, if the user inputs "sales," the analysis unit can obtain relevant statistical data from a sales database and provide it to the generation unit. Also, if the user inputs "population," the analysis unit can obtain the latest population data from a demographic database and provide it to the generation unit. Furthermore, if the user inputs "market research," the analysis unit can obtain relevant statistical data from a market research database and provide it to the generation unit. In this way, by generating relevant statistical data based on the user's input and reflecting it in the analysis results, more accurate information can be provided.
[0057] The providing unit can provide related links and resources based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs "meeting at 10 o'clock," the providing unit can provide a link to detailed information about the meeting. Also, if the user inputs "weather," the providing unit can provide a link to a weather forecast site. Furthermore, if the user inputs "news," the providing unit can provide a link to a news article. In this way, by providing related links and resources based on the user's input, it is possible to enable the user to quickly access the information they need.
[0058] The analysis unit can retrieve related academic papers and research materials based on the user's input and reflect them in the analysis results. For example, if the user inputs "AI technology," the analysis unit can retrieve related papers from an academic database and provide them to the generation unit. Alternatively, if the user inputs "medical research," the analysis unit can retrieve the latest research materials from a medical database and provide them to the generation unit. Furthermore, if the user inputs "environmental issues," the analysis unit can retrieve related research materials from an environmental database and provide them to the generation unit. This allows for deeper knowledge to be provided by retrieving related academic papers and research materials based on the user's input and reflecting them in the analysis results.
[0059] The generation unit can generate sentences using related templates based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs "Meeting at 10 o'clock," the generation unit can generate sentences using a meeting notification template. If the user inputs "weather," the generation unit can also generate sentences using a weather forecast template. If the user inputs "news," the generation unit can also generate sentences using a news article template. This allows for efficient sentence generation by generating sentences using related templates based on the user's input.
[0060] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0061] Step 1: The reception unit receives a word or short phrase entered by the user. For example, the user enters "Meeting at 10 o'clock." Step 2: The analyzer analyzes the input received by the receiver based on the context. For example, the analyzer analyzes the input "Meeting at 10 o'clock" and identifies the appropriate grammatical structure. Step 3: The generator uses a generation AI to generate grammatically correct sentences based on the results of the analysis by the analyzer. For example, the generator generates a grammatically correct sentence such as "I have a meeting at 10 o'clock." The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 4: The providing unit provides the text generated by the generating unit to the user. For example, the providing unit displays the generated text on the user's device.
[0062] (Example 2) A character input assistance system according to an embodiment of the present invention reduces the burden of character input by accepting input of words or short phrases and carefully converting them using a generation AI. In the character input assistance system, a user inputs words or short phrases, and a generation AI analyzes the input and generates grammatically correct sentences, which are then provided to the user. For example, if a user inputs "Meeting at 10 o'clock," the generation AI generates a grammatically correct sentence such as "There is a meeting at 10 o'clock." This allows users to obtain grammatically correct sentences with simple input. This significantly reduces the burden of character input and enables efficient communication. For example, users do not need to input complex sentences; instead, they can obtain grammatically correct sentences simply by inputting simple words or phrases.
[0063] A character input assistance system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives words or short phrases input by a user. For example, the user inputs "meeting at 10 o'clock." The analysis unit analyzes the input received by the reception unit based on the context. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the input "meeting at 10 o'clock" and identifies an appropriate grammatical structure. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate grammatically correct sentences based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates grammatically correct sentences such as "I have a meeting at 10 o'clock." The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. The provision unit provides the sentences generated by the generation unit to a user. For example, the provision unit displays the generated sentences on the user's device. In this way, the character input assistance system according to an embodiment can convert input of words or short phrases into grammatically correct sentences, thereby reducing the burden of character input.
[0064] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the timing of input reception based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can delay the timing of input reception and wait until the user is relaxed. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can also accelerate the timing of input reception to promote smooth input. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can immediately accept input and perform quick processing. Thus, by adjusting the timing of input reception according to the user's emotion, the user's stress can be reduced. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is 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, for example, AI, or without AI.
[0065] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and select an appropriate input reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially selects an input method (such as voice or text) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also predict and select an input method to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past input history. The reception unit can also analyze the user's past input history and select the most efficient input method. This allows for the selection of the optimal input reception method based on the user's past input history, thereby improving input efficiency. 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.
[0066] The reception unit can filter inputs based on the user's current task or area of interest when receiving the input. For example, the reception unit preferentially receives words and phrases related to the task the user is currently performing. The reception unit can also filter and receive related words and phrases based on the user's area of interest. The reception unit can also analyze the user's current task or area of interest and filter and receive the most appropriate input. In this way, by filtering the inputs based on the user's current task or area of interest, it is possible to preferentially receive highly relevant inputs. 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.
[0067] When receiving input, the reception unit can select an appropriate reception means depending on the user's input method. For example, if the user uses voice input, the reception unit can use voice recognition technology to receive the input. Furthermore, if the user uses text input, the reception unit can also preferentially receive keyboard input. Furthermore, if the user uses image input, the reception unit can also use image recognition technology to receive the input. This allows the most appropriate reception means to be selected depending on the user's input method, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of input. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI.
[0068] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of inputs to be received based on the estimated user emotions. For example, when the user is stressed, the reception unit postpones inputs of lower importance and prioritizes inputs of higher importance. Furthermore, when the user is relaxed, the reception unit can equally accept all inputs. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can prioritize inputs that require quick processing. Thus, by determining the priority of inputs according to the user's emotions, important inputs can be processed preferentially. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is 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, for example, AI, or without AI.
[0069] When receiving input, the reception unit can prioritize receiving highly relevant inputs in consideration of the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is in a specific location, the reception unit prioritizes receiving inputs related to that location. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving related words and phrases based on the user's current location. The reception unit can also analyze the user's geographical location information and prioritize receiving optimal inputs. This can improve the accuracy of inputs by preferentially receiving highly relevant inputs based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0070] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and receive related input when receiving input. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving words and phrases that the user frequently uses on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the user's posts on social media and prioritize receiving related input. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving related input by referring to the activities of the user's friends on social media. In this way, the accuracy of the input can be improved by receiving related input based on the user's social media activity. 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.
[0071] The reception unit can customize the reception method by reflecting the user's past feedback when receiving input. The reception unit customizes the optimal input reception method, for example, based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The reception unit can also preferentially accept a specific input method based on the user's past feedback. The reception unit can also analyze the user's feedback and customize the most efficient input reception method. In this way, input efficiency can be improved by customizing the reception method based on the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without using AI.
[0072] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the analysis is presented based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis unit uses a simple and easy-to-understand presentation method.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI.
[0073] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the input during analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on an input with high importance. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on an input with low importance. The analysis unit can also dynamically adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the input. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the input. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

The analysis unit can also perform a quick analysis if the user is in a hurry. This allows for adjusting the length of the analysis according to the user's emotions, thereby facilitating user understanding. The emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI.

[0107] Step 1: The reception unit receives a word or short phrase entered by the user. For example, the user enters "Meeting at 10 o'clock." Step 2: The analyzer analyzes the input received by the receiver based on the context. For example, the analyzer analyzes the input "Meeting at 10 o'clock" and identifies the appropriate grammatical structure. Step 3: The generator uses a generation AI to generate grammatically correct sentences based on the results of the analysis by the analyzer. For example, the generator generates a grammatically correct sentence such as "I have a meeting at 10 o'clock." The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 4: The providing unit provides the text generated by the generating unit to the user. For example, the providing unit displays the generated text on the user's device.

[0109] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence).

[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.

[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.
