The user enters basic information, occupational information, and information about their worries and needs through the device, which is then sent to the server. The device then conducts the session in an interactive format with the user based on the generated coaching plan. The device also collects and analyzes the user's emotional data in real time and adjusts advice and guidance as needed.
[0478] User Roles
[0479] Users enter basic information and occupational information through their devices and provide details of their current concerns and needs. Based on the generated coaching plan, the user receives a coaching session. After the session, the user provides feedback, which is sent to the server and used to improve the quality of the next session.
[0480] Specific examples
[0481] The server inputs the prompt "The sales manager is seeking advice on stress management" into GPT-4, and has it generate a stress management coaching plan. If the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state as "fatigue," it will suggest adding relaxation techniques to the plan.
[0482] The device asks the user questions such as "What is your current job title?" and sends the answer to the server. If the user enters "Sales Manager," the server uses that information to generate a customized coaching plan.
[0483] During the session, the device asks, "Please tell us about specific situations that caused you stress at work today," and provides advice based on the user's input. If the emotion engine detects "anxiety" in real time, the device will display encouraging words such as, "It's important to take a break."
[0484] Example prompt sentence:
[0485] "Create a customized coaching plan for your sales manager who wants stress management advice. Also, include relaxation techniques if your users are feeling burned out by their work."

The device also collects and analyzes the user's emotional data in real time and adjusts advice and guidance as needed.
[1045] User Roles
[1046] Users enter basic information and occupational information through their devices and provide details of their current concerns and needs. Based on the generated coaching plan, the user receives a coaching session. After the session, the user provides feedback, which is sent to the server and used to improve the quality of the next session.
[1047] Specific examples
[1048] The server inputs the prompt "The sales manager is seeking advice on stress management" into GPT-4, and has it generate a stress management coaching plan. If the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state as "fatigue," it will suggest adding relaxation techniques to the plan.
[1049] The device asks the user questions such as "What is your current job title?" and sends the answer to the server. If the user enters "Sales Manager," the server uses that information to generate a customized coaching plan.
[1050] During the session, the device asks, "Please tell us about specific situations that caused you stress at work today," and provides advice based on the user's input. If the emotion engine detects "anxiety" in real time, the device will display encouraging words such as, "It's important to take a break."
[1051] Example prompt sentence:
[1052] "Create a customized coaching plan for your sales manager who wants stress management advice. Also, include relaxation techniques if your users are feeling burned out by their work."

The device also collects and analyzes the user's emotional data in real time and adjusts advice and guidance as needed.
[1612] User Roles
[1613] Users enter basic information and occupational information through their devices and provide details of their current concerns and needs. Based on the generated coaching plan, the user receives a coaching session. After the session, the user provides feedback, which is sent to the server and used to improve the quality of the next session.
[1614] Specific examples
[1615] The server inputs the prompt "The sales manager is seeking advice on stress management" into GPT-4, and has it generate a stress management coaching plan. If the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state as "fatigue," it will suggest adding relaxation techniques to the plan.
[1616] The device asks the user questions such as "What is your current job title?" and sends the answer to the server. If the user enters "Sales Manager," the server uses that information to generate a customized coaching plan.
[1617] During the session, the device asks, "Please tell us about specific situations that caused you stress at work today," and provides advice based on the user's input. If the emotion engine detects "anxiety" in real time, the device will display encouraging words such as, "It's important to take a break."
[1618] Example prompt sentence:
[1619] "Create a customized coaching plan for your sales manager who wants stress management advice. Also, include relaxation techniques if your users are feeling burned out by their work."

The device also collects and analyzes the user's emotional data in real time and adjusts advice and guidance as needed.
[2180] User Roles
[2181] Users enter basic information and occupational information through their devices and provide details of their current concerns and needs. Based on the generated coaching plan, the user receives a coaching session. After the session, the user provides feedback, which is sent to the server and used to improve the quality of the next session.
[2182] Specific examples
[2183] The server inputs the prompt "The sales manager is seeking advice on stress management" into GPT-4, and has it generate a stress management coaching plan. If the emotion engine recognizes the user's emotional state as "fatigue," it will suggest adding relaxation techniques to the plan.
[2184] The device asks the user questions such as "What is your current job title?" and sends the answer to the server. If the user enters "Sales Manager," the server uses that information to generate a customized coaching plan.
[2185] During the session, the device asks, "Please tell us about specific situations that caused you stress at work today," and provides advice based on the user's input. If the emotion engine detects "anxiety" in real time, the device will display encouraging words such as, "It's important to take a break."
[2186] Example prompt sentence:
[2187] "Create a customized coaching plan for your sales manager who wants stress management advice. Also, include relaxation techniques if your users are feeling burned out by their work."

[2252] 1. Data accumulation
[2253] The server collects professional teaching data and stores it in a database. The teaching data includes audio data, text data, and image data. This data is analyzed using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to identify important topics and effective teaching methods. This identified information is used to provide effective teaching to other users.
[2254] 2. Collection of User Information
[2255] The device provides an interface for collecting basic information and professional information (such as name, age, job title, and industry) from users. Users can input this information through the device and provide detailed information about their concerns and guidance needs.
[2256] 3. Generate lesson plans
[2257] The server generates a customized instruction plan based on the information entered by the user and past instruction data. An AI algorithm selects the instruction method that best suits the user's attributes and concerns, and creates a specific action plan. In addition, an emotion engine collects the user's emotional data and adjusts the plan accordingly.
[2258] 4. Conducting a mentoring session
[2259] The device conducts a teaching session with the user in an interactive format based on the generated teaching plan. It provides advice and support to the user in voice and text format. The emotion engine monitors and responds to the user's emotional state in real time.
[2260] 5. Gather and incorporate feedback
[2261] After a training session, users fill out a feedback form to evaluate the content of the session and their satisfaction. This feedback is sent to the server and used to improve the quality of the next session. The server analyzes the collected feedback and saves it as data to be reflected in future sessions. It also takes into account the analysis results of the emotion engine.
[2262] Hardware and software used
[2263] Server: Used to store and analyze data, generate teaching plans, and collect and incorporate feedback. Python's nltk and spaCy are used for natural language processing, and scikit-learn is used for machine learning algorithms.
[2264] Devices: Used to collect user information, conduct coaching sessions, and gather feedback. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
[2265] Emotion engine: Used to collect user emotion data and analyze it in real time. Emotion analysis uses emotion recognition API and TensorFlow.
[2266] Prompt Sentence Examples
[2267] "Please tell us about the most stressful experience you have had recently while dealing with a customer."
[2268] "Please tell me a bit more about your current position and your concerns."
[2269] "Was the content of the coaching session helpful? Please give us specific feedback."
[2270] In this way, the system of the present invention allows users to easily receive high-quality instruction, and by adding an emotion engine, it is possible to provide even more personalized instruction.
[2271] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[2272] Step 1:
[2273] The server collects professional teaching data and stores it in a database. As input, it receives audio, text, and image data from teaching sessions. It analyzes this data using natural language processing techniques (e.g., Python's nltk or spaCy) to identify important topics and effective teaching methods. As output, the analysis results are stored in a database.
[2274] Step 2:
[2275] The terminal provides an interface to collect basic information and professional information about the user. Input includes name, age, job title, and industry affiliation, which are entered by the user on the terminal. This information is sent to the server and stored in a database. Specifically, the terminal displays an input form and allows the user to enter information.
[2276] Step 3:
[2277] The server collects users' concerns and guidance needs. The input includes specific concerns and requests that users enter on their devices. This information is also stored in the database. Specifically, the device provides a category-specific input form, allowing users to enter detailed concerns.
[2278] Step 4:
[2279] The server generates a customized teaching plan based on collected user information and past teaching data. The inputs include the user's attribute information, concerns and requests, and past teaching data. Using the generative AI model, it selects the optimal teaching method and creates a specific action plan. The output is the generated customized plan.
[2280] Step 5:
[2281] The device conducts a teaching session interactively with the user based on the generated teaching plan. The device takes the teaching plan as input. It provides advice and support to the user in voice or text format, and an emotion engine monitors the user's emotional state in real time. The device outputs instruction tailored to the user's emotional state.
[2282] Step 6:
[2283] Users provide feedback after a training session. Input includes ratings, opinions, and impressions that users enter on their devices. This feedback is sent to the server and stored in a database. Specifically, the device displays a feedback form for users to fill out.
[2284] Step 7:
[2285] The server analyzes the collected feedback and reflects it in the next teaching plan. The input is feedback data from users. This is analyzed and stored in a database. The analysis results are taken into consideration when generating the next teaching plan. Specifically, the server analyzes the feedback data using natural language processing technology and extracts important opinions and evaluations.
[2286] Step 8:
[2287] The server collects the user's emotional data and adjusts the teaching plan in real time using an emotion engine. The input is emotional information from the user's voice and text data. Based on this information, the server uses an emotion recognition API and TensorFlow to analyze the user's emotional state and adjust the teaching plan as needed. Specifically, the emotion engine analyzes the user's tone of voice and vocabulary to determine their emotional state.
[2288] 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.
[2289] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. 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 voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. 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.
[2290] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12 has been given, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[2291] 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.
[2292] 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 includes both affect 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.
[2293] 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.
[2294] 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).
[2295] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[2296] 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."
[2297] 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.
[2298] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[2299] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[2300] 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.
[2301] 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.
[2302] 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.
[2303] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor 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. Another example of a processor is 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.
[2304] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing 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 processing may be a single processor.
[2305] 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.
[2306] 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.
