[0028] (Example 1) A learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention automatically generates questions based on the user's input, such as the subject, desired study area, and grade level. The system then grades and provides explanations based on the user's answers. The learning support system also detects weak areas based on the user's answers and customizes the questions by providing supplementary questions or simplifying the questions to make them easier to understand. For example, when a user inputs the user's input, such as the subject, desired study area, and grade level, the system automatically generates questions based on the input. The generated questions are presented to the user, and the user answers the questions. The system grades the answers and provides explanations. The explanations include the reason for correct answers and a detailed explanation of the mistake if the answer is incorrect. Furthermore, the system analyzes the user's answers to detect weak areas. For example, if the user makes many mistakes on a particular question, it determines that the user is weak in that area. Once a weak area is detected, the system generates questions to supplement the area. For example, if the user lacks understanding of a particular concept, it generates supplementary questions related to that concept. The system also simplifies questions based on the user's level of understanding. For example, if the user is struggling with a difficult question, it presents an easier version of that question. This allows the user to deepen their understanding step by step. In this way, the system supports the user's learning and allows them to progress through the learning efficiently. This allows the learning support system to efficiently support the user's learning, complement weak areas, and provide questions according to the user's level of understanding.
[0029] A learning assistance system according to an embodiment includes a receiving unit, a generating unit, a scoring unit, an explanation unit, a detection unit, a completion unit, and a simplification unit. The receiving unit provides an interface for a user to set a subject, a desired range of study, a grade level, and the like. For example, the receiving unit may provide a drop-down menu or checkboxes for a user to select a specific subject or grade level. The receiving unit may also provide a text input field for a user to specify in detail the range of study the user wishes to perform. The generating unit automatically generates questions based on the settings received by the receiving unit. For example, the generating unit may execute an algorithm to generate questions based on a specific subject or grade level. The generating unit may generate, for example, mathematics questions for an eighth-grade level student. The generating unit may also provide an interface for presenting the generated questions to the user. The scoring unit scores a user's answers to the questions generated by the generating unit. For example, the scoring unit executes an algorithm to determine whether the user's answers are correct. For example, the scoring unit may award points if the user's answers are correct and deduct points if the user's answers are incorrect. The scoring unit can also award partial points. The explanation unit provides explanations based on the results scored by the scoring unit. For example, the explanation unit executes an algorithm that explains the reason for a correct answer and explains the mistake for an incorrect answer. The explanation unit, for example, explains the correct solution and theoretical background for a question that the user got wrong. The explanation unit can also provide explanations in text or video format. The detection unit detects weak areas based on the explanation results obtained by the explanation unit. For example, the detection unit executes an algorithm that determines that a specific area is weak if the user makes many mistakes on that question. The detection unit identifies weak areas by analyzing, for example, the user's error rate and answer time. The completion unit generates questions to complete the weak areas detected by the detection unit.

This allows the explanation unit to understand the reason for the correct answer and the cause of the error.
[0033] The detection unit can determine that a user is weak in a particular area if mistakes are frequently made on a particular problem. For example, the detection unit executes an algorithm that determines that a user is weak in a particular area if mistakes are frequently made on a particular problem. For example, the detection unit analyzes the user's error rate and answer time to identify the weak area. For example, if a user frequently makes mistakes on a particular problem, the detection unit can determine that the user is weak in an area related to that problem. Furthermore, the detection unit can also determine that the user is weak in an area related to that problem if the user takes a long time to answer. This allows the detection unit to accurately detect the user's weak areas.

Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze the user's learning history and suggest settings based on the content that is frequently studied. This allows the reception unit to suggest optimal settings based on the user's past learning history.
[0037] The reception unit can perform filtering based on the user's current learning progress when inputting the setting content.

[0187] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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).
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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."
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
[0203] 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.
[0204] 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.
[0205] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
