Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an application system that allows users to easily understand and efficiently execute local garbage collection schedules and garbage sorting methods. This system supports environmentally friendly garbage disposal, particularly when moving, by eliminating the need to find appropriate garbage collection days and sorting methods for their old and new addresses. Furthermore, the system also assists users with the handling of bulky garbage, providing comprehensive support for sales via flea market apps and the purchase of bulky garbage tickets. For example, when a user enters a new address, the system automatically obtains the local garbage collection schedule and sorting method. For example, information such as Monday for burnable garbage and Tuesday for non-burnable garbage is displayed. Detailed instructions for sorting garbage by category, such as plastic, paper, and metal, are also provided. Next, when moving, the system displays garbage collection schedules for both the old and new addresses, allowing users to smoothly dispose of their garbage. For example, if Monday is the day for burnable garbage at the old address and Tuesday is the day for burnable garbage at the new address, the system notifies the user of this information. Furthermore, the system also supports the handling of bulky garbage. When a user disposes of oversized garbage, the system guides them through the procedure and supports them in purchasing the necessary oversized garbage tickets. It is also possible to link with a flea market app to sell unwanted oversized garbage. For example, if unwanted furniture is put up for sale on a flea market app and a buyer is found, there is no need to dispose of it as garbage. In this way, the system is an application system that makes it easy to understand and efficiently carry out local garbage collection schedules and sorting methods, and it particularly supports garbage disposal when moving. It also provides consistent support for handling oversized garbage, realizing environmentally friendly garbage disposal. This allows the system to efficiently understand and carry out local garbage collection schedules and sorting methods.
[0029] A garbage disposal support system according to an embodiment includes an acquisition unit, an explanation unit, and a display unit. The acquisition unit acquires a local garbage disposal schedule. The acquisition unit acquires information from a local database based on, for example, a new address entered by a user. For example, when a user enters a new address, the acquisition unit can automatically acquire the local garbage disposal schedule corresponding to the address. The explanation unit explains how to separate garbage based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit. The explanation unit provides detailed explanations for each category, such as plastic, paper, and metal. For example, the explanation unit can explain in detail specific steps and precautions for separating plastic garbage. The display unit displays the garbage disposal schedule based on the separation method explained by the explanation unit. The display unit can display the garbage disposal schedules for both the old address and the new address. For example, if Monday is the day for combustible garbage at the old address and Tuesday is the day for combustible garbage at the new address, the display unit can notify the user of this information. This allows the garbage disposal support system according to an embodiment to efficiently understand and implement the garbage disposal schedule and separation method for each region.
[0030] The acquisition unit can acquire information from a local database based on a new address entered by the user. For example, when a user enters a new address, the acquisition unit can automatically acquire the local garbage collection schedule and sorting method corresponding to that address. For example, the acquisition unit can access a local database and acquire information such as combustible garbage on Mondays and non-combustible garbage on Tuesdays. This allows the user to automatically acquire the local garbage collection schedule and sorting method simply by entering a new address. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the new address entered by the user into AI and cause the AI to execute processing to acquire information from the local database.
[0031] The explanation unit can provide detailed explanations for each category of plastic, paper, and metal. The explanation unit can, for example, provide detailed explanations of specific steps and precautions regarding how to separate plastic waste. For example, the explanation unit can explain how to wash plastic waste and remove labels before sorting. The explanation unit can also explain how to separate paper waste by category, such as newspaper, magazines, and cardboard. For example, the explanation unit can explain how to bundle newspapers, tie magazines with string, and flatten cardboard before disposing of them. The explanation unit can also explain how to separate metal waste by category, such as cans, bottles, and metal products. For example, the explanation unit can explain how to wash cans before disposing of them, remove caps from bottles before disposing of them, and disassemble metal products before disposing of them. This allows the user to understand how to separate waste in detail for each category. Some or all of the above-described processing by the explanation unit can be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the explanation unit can input the plastic waste separation method into AI and cause the AI to execute a process of explaining specific steps and precautions.
[0032] The display unit can display garbage collection schedules for the old address and the new address. For example, if Monday is burnable garbage collection day at the old address and Tuesday is burnable garbage collection day at the new address, the display unit can notify the user of this information. For example, the display unit can simultaneously display the garbage collection schedules for the old address and the new address, allowing the user to smoothly dispose of garbage. The display unit can also display the garbage collection schedule in calendar format. For example, the display unit can display information on the calendar such as burnable garbage on Monday, non-burnable garbage on Tuesday, and recyclable garbage on Wednesday. This allows the user to simultaneously check the garbage collection schedules for the old address and the new address when moving. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing on the display unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the display unit can input the garbage collection schedules for the old address and the new address into AI and have the AI execute a process to display them in calendar format.
[0033] The system includes a procedure guidance unit that guides the user through the procedure for disposing of oversized waste. The procedure guidance unit guides the user through the procedure, for example, when disposing of oversized waste. For example, the procedure guidance unit provides information such as how to apply for oversized waste disposal, the necessary documents, and fees. The procedure guidance unit can also provide information on the collection date and location for oversized waste. For example, the procedure guidance unit notifies the user that the collection date is Monday and that the collection location is a designated location. This allows for easy guidance through the procedure for disposing of oversized waste. Some or all of the above-described processing in the procedure guidance unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the procedure guidance unit can input the application method for oversized waste disposal and the necessary documents into AI and have the AI execute the process of guiding the user.
[0034] The system includes a purchase support unit that supports the purchasing procedure for bulky waste tickets. The purchase support unit supports the procedure, for example, when a user purchases a bulky waste ticket. For example, the purchase support unit provides information such as where to purchase the bulky waste ticket, payment methods, and necessary documents. The purchase support unit can also support online purchasing procedures. For example, the purchase support unit guides the user through the necessary procedures so that the user can purchase the bulky waste ticket online. This simplifies the purchasing procedure for the bulky waste ticket. Some or all of the above-described processing in the purchase support unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the purchase support unit can input information about where to purchase the bulky waste ticket and payment methods into AI, and have the AI execute a process to guide the user.
[0035] The system includes a sales support unit that works in conjunction with a flea market app to sell unwanted bulky waste. The sales support unit supports, for example, a user when selling unwanted bulky waste on the flea market app. For example, the sales support unit provides information such as how to use the flea market app, the listing procedure, and interactions with buyers. The sales support unit can also work in conjunction with the flea market app to automatically list unwanted bulky waste. For example, the sales support unit supports a user when listing unwanted furniture on the flea market app and, if a buyer is found, eliminates the need to dispose of the item as trash. This allows unwanted bulky waste to be sold on the flea market app. Some or all of the above-described processing in the sales support unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the sales support unit may input information about how to use the flea market app and the listing procedure into AI, and have the AI execute a process to guide the user.
[0036] In the system, the acquisition unit analyzes the user's past address change history and selects the optimal information acquisition method. The acquisition unit proposes the optimal information acquisition method, for example, based on addresses that the user has frequently changed in the past. For example, the acquisition unit finds a specific pattern from the user's past address change history and adjusts the information acquisition method based on that pattern. The acquisition unit also analyzes the user's past address change history and proposes the most efficient information acquisition method. For example, the acquisition unit proposes the optimal information acquisition method based on addresses that the user has frequently changed in the past. For example, the acquisition unit finds a specific pattern from the user's past address change history and adjusts the information acquisition method based on that pattern. The acquisition unit also analyzes the user's past address change history and proposes the most efficient information acquisition method. This makes it possible to provide the optimal information acquisition method based on the user's past address change history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit may input the user's past address change history into AI and cause the AI to execute a process of selecting the optimal information acquisition method.
[0037] When the acquisition unit inputs a new address, the system filters the information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is raising children, the acquisition unit prioritizes displaying garbage disposal information related to children. For example, if the user is interested in environmental protection, the acquisition unit prioritizes displaying information about recycling. Furthermore, if the user is elderly, the acquisition unit prioritizes displaying garbage disposal information that is easy to understand. For example, if the user is raising children, the acquisition unit prioritizes displaying garbage disposal information related to children. For example, if the user is interested in environmental protection, the acquisition unit prioritizes displaying information about recycling. Furthermore, if the user is elderly, the acquisition unit prioritizes displaying garbage disposal information that is easy to understand. This makes it possible to provide information tailored to the user's living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing by the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit may input the user's current living situation and areas of interest into AI and have the AI perform the filtering process.
[0038] In the system, when the acquisition unit inputs a new address, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring highly relevant information taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user lives in an urban area, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring garbage disposal information specific to urban areas. For example, if the user lives in a suburban area, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring garbage disposal information specific to suburban areas. Furthermore, if the user lives in a specific area, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring the garbage disposal schedule for that area. For example, if the user lives in an urban area, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring garbage disposal information specific to urban areas. For example, if the user lives in a suburban area, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring garbage disposal information specific to suburban areas. Furthermore, if the user lives in a specific area, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring the garbage disposal schedule for that area. This makes it possible to provide highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing by the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit may input the user's geographical location information to AI and cause the AI to execute a process of preferentially acquiring highly relevant information.
[0039] In the system, when a new address is input, the acquisition unit analyzes the user's social media activity and acquires related information. The acquisition unit, for example, acquires related trash disposal information based on information shared by the user on social media. For example, the acquisition unit acquires related trash disposal information based on information about accounts the user follows on social media. The acquisition unit also acquires related trash disposal information based on information about groups the user participates in on social media.

Some or all of the above-described processing by the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit may input the user's social media activity into AI and cause the AI to execute a process of acquiring related information.
[0040] In the system, when the explanation unit explains the sorting method, it adjusts the level of detail of the explanation based on the importance of the garbage. For example, the explanation unit provides a detailed explanation for a sorting method for important garbage. For example, the explanation unit provides a concise explanation for a sorting method for less important garbage. Furthermore, the explanation unit adjusts the level of detail of the explanation according to the importance of the garbage to make it easier for the user to understand. For example, the explanation unit provides a detailed explanation for a sorting method for important garbage. For example, the explanation unit provides a concise explanation for a sorting method for less important garbage. Furthermore, the explanation unit adjusts the level of detail of the explanation according to the importance of the garbage to make it easier for the user to understand.

Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the explanation unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the explanation unit may input the category of waste into AI and cause the AI to execute a process of applying different explanation algorithms.
[0042] In the system, when the explanation unit explains the sorting method, it determines the priority of the explanation based on the time of garbage submission. For example, the explanation unit provides explanations preferentially for garbage that is due to be submitted soon. For example, the explanation unit provides explanations later for garbage that is due to be submitted further away. Furthermore, the explanation unit adjusts the priority of the explanations according to the time of garbage submission, allowing the user to dispose of garbage efficiently. For example, the explanation unit provides explanations preferentially for garbage that is due to be submitted soon. For example, the explanation unit provides explanations later for garbage that is due to be submitted further away. Furthermore, the explanation unit adjusts the priority of the explanations according to the time of garbage submission, allowing the user to dispose of garbage efficiently. In this way, the priority of the explanations can be adjusted according to the time of garbage submission. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the explanation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the explanation unit may input the time of garbage submission into AI and cause the AI to execute processing to determine the priority of the explanations.

For example, the explanation unit provides an explanation preferentially for highly relevant garbage. For example, the explanation unit provides an explanation later for less relevant garbage. Furthermore, the explanation unit adjusts the order of the explanation according to the relevance of the garbage to make it easier for the user to understand. In this way, the order of the explanation can be adjusted according to the relevance of the garbage. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the explanation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the explanation unit inputs the relevance of the garbage into AI and causes the AI to execute processing to adjust the order of the explanation.
[0044] When the display unit displays the garbage disposal schedule, the system selects the optimal display method by referring to the user's past garbage disposal history. The display unit, for example, suggests the optimal display method based on the garbage disposal schedule used by the user in the past.

[0112] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0113] Step 1: The acquisition unit acquires the local garbage collection schedule. For example, it acquires information from a local database based on a new address entered by the user. When the user enters a new address, the garbage collection schedule for the area corresponding to that address can be automatically acquired. Step 2: The explanation unit explains how to separate waste based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit. For example, detailed explanations are provided for each category, such as plastic, paper, and metal. Specific steps and precautions for separating plastic waste can be explained in detail. Step 3: The display unit displays the garbage collection schedule based on the separation method explained by the explanation unit. For example, the display unit can display the garbage collection schedule for both the old address and the new address. If Monday is the garbage collection day at the old address and Tuesday is the garbage collection day at the new address, the display unit can notify the user of this information.

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.
[0166] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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).
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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."
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
