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) An image actualization system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that actualizes an image created by a user using a generative AI. The image actualization system allows the user to upload an image created by the user using the generative AI, analyzes it, proposes the optimal printing method, confirms the order, and delivers the printed matter. For example, the image actualization system allows the user to upload an image created by the user using the generative AI. The image actualization system then analyzes the uploaded image and proposes the optimal printing method. For example, the system may propose printing methods such as canvas prints, photo books, and posters based on the image resolution and color tone. The image actualization system then allows the user to select from the proposed printing methods and confirm the order. Once the order is confirmed, the image is actualized using a high-quality printing machine and delivered to the address specified by the user. This allows the user to see their favorite images on a daily basis and enjoy them as interior décor. The image actualization system allows the user to see their favorite images on a daily basis and enjoy them as interior décor. For example, by displaying them in a living room or office, they can add color to the space and express their individuality. They can also be used as gifts, making them ideal for special occasions.

[0029] An image actualization system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, a confirmation unit, and a delivery unit. The reception unit receives images from a user. Images uploaded by the user may be in file formats such as, but not limited to, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The reception unit may upload images via a web interface or a mobile app. The analysis unit analyzes the uploaded images. The analysis unit analyzes, for example, the resolution and color of the images. For example, the analysis unit may evaluate the image resolution using DPI (dots per inch) or the number of pixels. The analysis unit may also evaluate the color of the images using RGB values ​​and color temperature. The proposal unit proposes an optimal printing method based on the image analyzed by the analysis unit. The proposal unit proposes printing methods such as canvas prints, photo books, and posters. For example, the proposal unit may propose a photo book if the image resolution is low and a canvas print if the image resolution is high. The confirmation unit selects the printing method proposed by the proposal unit and confirms the order. The confirmation unit may confirm, for example, a payment method and a shipping address based on the printing method selected by the user. The delivery unit delivers the printed matter based on the order confirmed by the confirmation unit. For example, the delivery unit delivers the printed matter to an address specified by the user. In this way, the image actualization system according to the embodiment can easily actualize an image created by a user using the generation AI, making it possible for the user to see the image on a daily basis.

[0030] The analysis unit can analyze the resolution or color of an image. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the image resolution in terms of DPI (dots per inch) or the number of pixels. For example, the analysis unit checks whether the image resolution is 300 DPI or higher. The analysis unit can also evaluate the color of an image in terms of RGB values ​​or color temperature. For example, the analysis unit checks whether the RGB values ​​are within an appropriate range. By analyzing the image resolution and color, the optimal printing method can be proposed.

[0031] The suggestion unit can suggest printing methods for canvas prints, photo books, and posters. For example, the suggestion unit suggests canvas prints when the image resolution is high. For example, the suggestion unit suggests canvas prints for images with a resolution of 300 DPI or higher. The suggestion unit can also suggest photo books when the image resolution is low. For example, the suggestion unit suggests photo books for images with a resolution of 150 DPI or lower. The suggestion unit can also suggest printing methods for posters. For example, the suggestion unit suggests posters for images with a resolution of 200 DPI or higher. This makes it easier to create actual images by suggesting the optimal printing method to the user.

[0032] The confirmation unit can perform a process to confirm the user's order. For example, the confirmation unit can confirm the payment method and delivery address based on the printing method selected by the user. For example, the confirmation unit can confirm that the user will pay using a credit card, debit card, or electronic money. The confirmation unit can also confirm the delivery address specified by the user. For example, the confirmation unit can confirm that the postal code and address format entered by the user are correct. This allows the user to easily confirm the order.

[0033] The delivery unit can deliver printed materials to an address specified by the user. For example, the delivery unit delivers printed materials to the address specified by the user via a delivery company. For example, the delivery unit delivers printed materials via a delivery company selected by the user (e.g., a post office, a courier service, etc.). The delivery unit can also specify a delivery time. For example, the delivery unit can deliver printed materials according to a delivery time slot desired by the user (e.g., morning, afternoon, night, etc.). Furthermore, the delivery unit can provide a method for tracking the delivery. For example, the delivery unit can provide the user with a delivery tracking number so that the delivery status can be checked in real time. This improves convenience by delivering printed materials to an address specified by the user.

[0034] The reception unit can analyze the user's past upload history and select the optimal upload method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests upload methods that the user has frequently used in the past. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's past upload history and suggests the most frequently used method. The reception unit can also suggest the most efficient upload method from the user's past upload history. For example, the reception unit analyzes the date and time of past uploads and file formats to select the optimal method. The reception unit can also select the optimal method based on upload methods that the user has used successfully in the past. For example, the reception unit analyzes the success rate of past uploads and suggests the method with the highest success rate. In this way, the optimal upload method can be suggested based on the user's past history.

[0035] The reception unit can filter images based on the user's current project or area of ​​interest when uploading images. For example, the reception unit suggests that the user upload only images related to the project currently in progress. For example, the reception unit identifies a project based on the user's input information and past behavior history, and suggests related images. The reception unit can also prioritize uploading related images based on the user's area of ​​interest. For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's past search history and browsing history, and suggest images related to the area of ​​interest. The reception unit can also filter appropriate images according to the progress of the user's project. For example, the reception unit can analyze the progress of the project and prioritize suggesting images related to the project currently in progress. This allows images according to the user's project or area of ​​interest to be uploaded preferentially.

[0036] When uploading an image, the reception unit can select the optimal upload means depending on the user's input method. For example, when the user uses voice input, the reception unit uploads the image using voice recognition technology. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's voice, converts it into text using voice recognition technology, and uploads the image. Furthermore, when the user uses text input, the reception unit can also upload the image using text analysis technology. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's text input and uploads related images. Furthermore, when the user uses image input, the reception unit can also upload the image using image recognition technology. For example, the reception unit analyzes the image uploaded by the user, extracts related information, and uploads it. This makes it possible to provide the optimal upload means depending on the user's input method.

[0037] When uploading images, the reception unit can prioritize uploading highly relevant images taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the reception unit prioritizes uploading images related to that area. For example, the reception unit acquires geographical location information based on the user's GPS data or IP address and suggests images related to that area. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the reception unit can prioritize uploading images related to the user's travel destination. For example, the reception unit suggests related images based on information about the user's travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the reception unit can prioritize uploading images related to the user's home. For example, the reception unit suggests related images based on location information about the user's home. This allows highly relevant images to be uploaded based on the user's geographical location information.

[0038] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when uploading an image and upload related images. For example, the reception unit prioritizes uploading images that the user has shared on social media. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's social media account and suggests uploading based on the shared images. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the user's posts on social media and upload related images. For example, the reception unit analyzes the content of the user's posts and suggests related images. The reception unit can also upload related images by referring to the activity of the user's friends on social media. For example, the reception unit suggests related images based on images shared by the user's friends. This makes it possible to upload related images based on the user's social media activity.

[0039] The reception unit can customize the upload method by reflecting the user's past feedback when uploading an image. The reception unit, for example, suggests the optimal upload method based on feedback provided by the user in the past. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's past feedback and suggests the method with the highest rating. The reception unit can also improve the upload procedure based on the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit improves the upload interface based on the user's feedback. The reception unit can also customize the upload interface by reflecting the user's feedback. For example, the reception unit changes the interface settings based on the user's preferences. This makes it possible to provide the optimal upload method based on the user's past feedback.

[0040] When analyzing an image, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the image. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on an image with a high level of importance. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the importance of an image based on a user's evaluation or an analysis result, and performs a detailed analysis on an image with a high level of importance. The analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis on an image with a low level of importance. For example, the analysis unit provides a concise analysis result for an image with a low level of importance. The analysis unit can also determine the priority of the analysis according to the importance of the image. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes the analysis of images with a high level of importance. This makes it possible to adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the image.

[0041] When analyzing an image, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the image. For example, the analysis unit applies a color analysis algorithm to a landscape image. For example, the analysis unit performs color analysis on the landscape image to evaluate color balance and contrast. The analysis unit can also apply a face recognition algorithm to a portrait image. For example, the analysis unit performs face recognition on the portrait image to evaluate facial features and expressions. The analysis unit can also apply a style analysis algorithm to an art image. For example, the analysis unit performs style analysis on the art image to evaluate the features and style of the art. This allows the optimal analysis algorithm to be applied depending on the image category.

[0042] When analyzing an image, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. The analysis unit, for example, adjusts the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's past analysis data and optimizes the parameters of the algorithm. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of the analysis based on the user's past analysis results.

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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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).

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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."

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.
