[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) In a price negotiation system according to an embodiment of the present invention, each company prepares an AI for price negotiations. The AI ​​inputs information that can and cannot be shared with the other party, thereby determining a price that maximizes mutual profits. In this price negotiation system, each company inputs information such as its minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority into the AI. The AI ​​then exchanges information with the other party's AI, analyzes the other party's information, proposes an optimal price, and proceeds with negotiations, thereby maximizing each company's profits. For example, each company inputs information such as its minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority into the AI. One company sets a minimum price for a product, and the other company proceeds with negotiations based on that price. This information is then input into the AI. Next, the AI ​​exchanges information with the other party's AI and analyzes the other party's information. The AI ​​receives the other party's information such as its minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority, and calculates the optimal price based on that information. For example, it uses an algorithm to find the optimal price between the other party's minimum price and its own maximum price. Finally, the AI ​​proposes the optimal price and proceeds with negotiations. The AI ​​proposes the optimal price based on the other party's information and proceeds with negotiations. For example, if the price proposed by the AI ​​is higher than the other party's minimum price and lower than the company's maximum price, that price will be the optimal price. In this way, each company's profits will be maximized. This allows the price negotiation system to determine the price that maximizes each company's profits.

[0029] A price negotiation system according to an embodiment includes an input unit, an exchange unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The input unit inputs a minimum price, a maximum price, and a negotiation priority. For example, the input unit provides an interface for a user to input their company's minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority. The user can input, for example, the minimum and maximum acceptable prices for a product or service, and negotiation priority (price, delivery date, quality, etc.). The exchange unit exchanges information with the other party's AI. For example, the exchange unit transmits information input by the user to the other party's AI and obtains information received from the other party's AI. The exchange unit can exchange information using, for example, a secure communication protocol. The analysis unit analyzes information such as the other party's minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority. For example, the analysis unit analyzes information received from the other party's AI and generates data for calculating an optimal price. The analysis unit can use, for example, an algorithm to find an optimal price between the other party's minimum price and their company's maximum price. The proposal unit proposes an optimal price based on the other party's information. For example, the proposal unit proposes an optimal price that is higher than the other party's minimum price and lower than the company's maximum price based on the data generated by the analysis unit. The proposal unit, for example, displays the proposed price to the user and provides an interface for proceeding with negotiations. This allows the price negotiation system according to the embodiment to determine a price that maximizes each company's profits.

[0030] The input section allows users to input the minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority. The minimum price refers to the lowest acceptable price for a product or service, and the maximum price refers to the highest acceptable price for a product or service. The negotiation priority is a standard for setting priorities such as price, delivery date, and quality. For example, the input section provides an interface for the user to input their company's minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority. The user can input, for example, the minimum acceptable price and maximum acceptable price for a product or service, and the negotiation priority (price, delivery date, quality, etc.). This allows the user to accurately input the information required for negotiations.

[0031] The exchange unit can exchange information with the other AI. The other AI has characteristics such as the algorithms used and learning data. For example, the exchange unit sends information entered by the user to the other AI and retrieves information received from the other AI. The exchange unit can exchange information using, for example, a secure communication protocol. This allows for efficient exchange of information with the other AI.

[0032] The analysis unit can analyze the other party's minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority information. The minimum price refers to the lowest acceptable price for a product or service, and the maximum price refers to the highest acceptable price for a product or service. Negotiation priority is a criterion for setting priorities such as price, delivery time, and quality. For example, the analysis unit analyzes information received from the other party's AI and generates data for calculating the optimal price. The analysis unit can use an algorithm to find the optimal price between the other party's minimum price and our own maximum price, for example. This allows the other party's information to be analyzed accurately.

[0033] The proposal unit can propose an appropriate price based on the other party's information. The appropriate price is calculated based on criteria such as market price or cost-based price. For example, the proposal unit proposes an optimal price that is above the other party's minimum price and below the company's maximum price based on the data generated by the analysis unit. The proposal unit, for example, displays the proposed price to the user and provides an interface for proceeding with negotiations. This makes it possible to propose the optimal price.

[0034] The input unit can analyze past negotiation history and automatically suggest appropriate minimum and maximum prices. The past negotiation history includes data such as the success rate of negotiations and price fluctuations. For example, the input unit automatically suggests an optimal price range based on the minimum and maximum prices previously set by the user. It can also analyze the price range of successful negotiations from the past negotiation history and suggest an optimal price. Furthermore, it can automatically suggest an optimal price under specific conditions by referring to the user's past negotiation history. This improves the success rate of negotiations by suggesting an optimal price based on the past negotiation history.

[0035] The input unit can refer to product market trends and competitor pricing information in real time during input and input an appropriate price. Market trends include information on market supply and demand, competitor trends, etc. For example, the input unit suggests optimal minimum and maximum prices based on real-time market trends. It can also obtain competitor pricing information in real time and input optimal prices based on that information. It can also analyze the balance of market supply and demand in real time and input optimal prices. This allows for setting competitive prices by inputting optimal prices based on market trends and competitor information.

[0036] The input unit can input an appropriate price for each region based on the user's geographical location information at the time of input. The geographical location information includes GPS data, region-specific price information, and the like. For example, the input unit can input the optimal price based on the user's current location by referring to the market price for that region. The input unit can also analyze supply and demand for each region based on the geographical location information and input the optimal price. Furthermore, the input unit can propose region-specific pricing based on the user's geographical location information. This makes it possible to set region-specific prices by inputting the optimal price based on the geographical location information.

[0037] The input unit can analyze the user's social media activity at the time of input and input relevant price information. Social media activity includes information such as post content, number of followers, and engagement rate. For example, the input unit can analyze the user's social media activity and input the optimal price based on the product or service the user is interested in. It can also suggest prices for products that are in high demand based on the user's social media comments and posts. Furthermore, it can analyze trends from the user's social media activity and input the optimal price. This makes it possible to set prices that meet the user's needs by inputting the optimal price based on social media activity.

[0038] When exchanging information, the exchange unit can select an appropriate information exchange method based on the past negotiation history of the other party's AI. The past negotiation history includes data such as the success rate of negotiations and price fluctuations. For example, the exchange unit analyzes the past negotiation history of the other party's AI and selects the optimal timing for information exchange. It can also exchange information by referring to successful negotiation patterns from the other party's AI's past negotiation history. Furthermore, it can select the optimal information exchange method based on the other party's AI's past negotiation history. In this way, the success rate of negotiations is improved by selecting the optimal information exchange method based on the past negotiation history.

[0039] When exchanging information, the exchange unit can evaluate the reliability of the other party's AI and adjust the level of detail of the information according to its reliability. The reliability of the other party's AI is evaluated based on criteria such as past performance and evaluation score. For example, if the other party's AI is highly reliable, the exchange unit will provide detailed information. Also, if the other party's AI is low in reliability, the exchange unit can limit the level of detail of the information provided. Furthermore, the exchange unit can evaluate the reliability of the other party's AI and adjust the level of detail of the information according to its reliability. This allows for appropriate information exchange by adjusting the level of detail of the information according to the other party's reliability.

[0040] When exchanging information, the exchange unit can prioritize the exchange of highly relevant information based on the geographical location information of the other AI. Geographical location information includes GPS data and region-specific information. For example, the exchange unit prioritizes the exchange of highly relevant information based on the geographical location information of the other AI. It can also prioritize the exchange of region-specific information taking geographical location information into consideration. Furthermore, it can select the optimal method of information exchange based on the geographical location information of the other AI. This enables efficient information exchange by exchanging highly relevant information based on geographical location information.

[0041] When exchanging information, the exchange unit can analyze the social media activity of the other AI and exchange relevant information.

It can also exchange optimal information based on the other AI's social media comments and posts. Furthermore, it can analyze trends based on the other AI's social media activity and exchange relevant information. This enables efficient information exchange by exchanging relevant information based on social media activity.

[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis based on the past negotiation history of the other party's AI. The past negotiation history includes data such as the success rate of negotiations and price fluctuations. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the past negotiation history of the other party's AI to provide highly accurate results. The analysis unit can also refer to successful negotiation patterns from the other party's AI's past negotiation history. Furthermore, the optimal analysis method can be selected based on the other party's AI's past negotiation history. This allows for more accurate analysis by improving the accuracy of the analysis based on past negotiation history.

[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit can evaluate the reliability of the other party's AI and adjust the level of detail of the analysis depending on its reliability. The reliability of the other party's AI is evaluated based on criteria such as past performance and evaluation scores. For example, if the other party's AI is highly reliable, the analysis unit will perform a detailed analysis. On the other hand, if the other party's AI is low in reliability, the analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can evaluate the reliability of the other party's AI and adjust the level of detail of the analysis depending on its reliability. This allows for appropriate analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis depending on the other party's reliability.

[0044] During analysis, the analysis unit can prioritize analysis of highly relevant information based on the geographic location information of the other AI. Geographic location information includes GPS data and region-specific information.

[0058] (Example 2) In a price negotiation system according to an embodiment of the present invention, each company prepares an AI for price negotiations. The AI ​​inputs information that can and cannot be shared with the other party, thereby determining a price that maximizes mutual profits. In this price negotiation system, each company inputs information such as its minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority into the AI. The AI ​​then exchanges information with the other party's AI, analyzes the other party's information, proposes an optimal price, and proceeds with negotiations, thereby maximizing each company's profits. For example, each company inputs information such as its minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority into the AI. One company sets a minimum price for a product, and the other company proceeds with negotiations based on that price. This information is then input into the AI. Next, the AI ​​exchanges information with the other party's AI and analyzes the other party's information. The AI ​​receives the other party's information such as its minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority, and calculates the optimal price based on that information. For example, it uses an algorithm to find the optimal price between the other party's minimum price and its own maximum price. Finally, the AI ​​proposes the optimal price and proceeds with negotiations. The AI ​​proposes the optimal price based on the other party's information and proceeds with negotiations. For example, if the price proposed by the AI ​​is higher than the other party's minimum price and lower than the company's maximum price, that price will be the optimal price. In this way, each company's profits will be maximized. This allows the price negotiation system to determine the price that maximizes each company's profits.

[0059] A price negotiation system according to an embodiment includes an input unit, an exchange unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The input unit inputs a minimum price, a maximum price, and a negotiation priority. For example, the input unit provides an interface for a user to input their company's minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority. The user can input, for example, the minimum and maximum acceptable prices for a product or service, and negotiation priority (price, delivery date, quality, etc.). The exchange unit exchanges information with the other party's AI. For example, the exchange unit transmits information input by the user to the other party's AI and obtains information received from the other party's AI. The exchange unit can exchange information using, for example, a secure communication protocol. The analysis unit analyzes information such as the other party's minimum price, maximum price, and negotiation priority.

[0149] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0150] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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).

[0158] 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 "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.

[0159] 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."

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.
