[0028] (Example 1) An assistant system according to an embodiment of the present invention integrates a smartphone equipped with a generative AI with a vehicle such as a car, providing it as an assistant in a moving space. When a user issues a voice command, the generative AI recognizes the voice and provides appropriate feedback. For example, if a user says, "Tell me where the nearest gas station is," the generative AI analyzes the command and provides directions to the nearest gas station. If a user says, "Play music," the generative AI controls a smartphone app to play music. Furthermore, the generative AI provides answers to user questions through API integration. For example, if a user asks, "What's the weather like today?", the generative AI obtains weather information and responds to the user. The generative AI also makes original suggestions based on the user's preferences and past behavioral history. For example, it may suggest a restaurant frequently visited by the user or introduce tourist spots that match the user's preferences. This system allows users to comfortably obtain information and operate the system while on the move. The integration of a smartphone equipped with a generative AI with a car makes moving spaces more convenient and comfortable. This allows the assistant system to recognize and analyze the user's voice, provide route guidance, operate apps, obtain external information, and make original suggestions, functioning as an assistant in the moving space.
[0029] The assistant system according to the embodiment includes a voice recognition unit, an analysis unit, a route guidance unit, an application operation unit, an API integration unit, and a suggestion unit. The voice recognition unit recognizes a user's voice. For example, the voice recognition unit analyzes the user's voice using a voice recognition algorithm and converts the voice into text data. The voice recognition unit can adjust the accuracy of voice recognition depending on the type of microphone used. For example, using a noise-canceling microphone can eliminate ambient noise and improve the accuracy of voice recognition. The analysis unit analyzes the voice recognized by the voice recognition unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the voice data using natural language processing technology to understand the user's intent. The analysis unit can also extract the meaning of the voice data using an analysis algorithm and generate appropriate feedback. For example, if a user says, "Tell me the nearest gas station," the analysis unit understands the intent and obtains information about the nearest gas station. The route guidance unit provides route guidance based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the route guidance unit calculates an optimal route using map data and provides guidance to the user. The route guidance unit can also update routes in real time using a navigation algorithm and provide the user with the latest route information. For example, the route guidance unit suggests an optimal route taking traffic congestion information into consideration. The app operation unit operates a smartphone app based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The app operation unit, for example, operates a music app on the smartphone to play music. The app operation unit can also operate a navigation app on the smartphone to provide route guidance. For example, when a user says, "Play music," the app operation unit launches a music app and plays the specified music. The API integration unit acquires external information based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the API integration unit acquires current weather information using a weather information API. The API integration unit can also acquire the latest news information using a news API. For example, when a user asks, "What's the weather like today?", the API integration unit acquires current weather information using a weather information API and provides it to the user. The suggestion unit makes original suggestions to the user based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit.The suggestion unit may suggest restaurants based on the user's preferences and past behavior history, for example. The suggestion unit may also introduce tourist spots that match the user's preferences. For example, the suggestion unit may suggest restaurants that the user frequently visits and introduce new restaurants to the user. As a result, the assistant system according to the embodiment functions as an assistant in a moving space by recognizing and analyzing the user's voice, providing route guidance, operating apps, acquiring external information, and making original suggestions.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the API integration unit may be performed using, or without, AI, for example. For example, the API integration unit can input the user's past API usage data into the generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the usage history.
[0090] During API integration, the API integration unit can adjust integration taking into account the user's current situation and context. For example, if the user is driving, the API integration unit prioritizes integration of driving-related information. Furthermore, if the user is taking a break, the API integration unit can prioritize integration of information suited to a relaxed situation. Furthermore, if the user is participating in a specific event, the API integration unit can prioritize integration of information related to the event. This enables optimal integration by taking into account the user's current situation and context. Some or all of the above-described processing in the API integration unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the API integration unit can input the user's current situation data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust integration based on the context.
[0091] The API integration unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of API integration based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the API integration unit prioritizes the integration of important information. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the API integration unit can integrate detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the API integration unit can quickly integrate information. Thus, by determining the priority of API integration according to the user's emotions, important information can be provided preferentially. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the API integration unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the API integration unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to determine the priority of API integration based on the emotion.
[0092] During API integration, the API integration unit can propose optimal integration taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the API integration unit considers information specific to that area when integrating. Furthermore, if the user is on the move, the API integration unit can integrate related information based on the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is in a specific facility, the API integration unit can integrate information related to the facility. This makes it possible to propose optimal integration by considering the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the API integration unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the API integration unit can input the user's geographical location information data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute integration proposals based on the location information.
[0093] During API integration, the API integration unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest integrations. For example, the API integration unit prioritizes integration of information from social media that the user uses frequently. The API integration unit can also suggest optimal integrations by taking into account the content of the user's social media posts. The API integration unit can also suggest appropriate integrations by taking into account the time periods during which the user is active on social media. This makes it possible to suggest optimal integrations by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing in the API integration unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the API integration unit can input the user's social media data into the generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the social media activity.
[0094] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the suggestion method based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the suggestion unit can provide simple, highly visible suggestions. If the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit can provide detailed suggestions. If the user is in a hurry, the suggestion unit can provide suggestions that focus on the main points. This improves visibility by adjusting the suggestion method according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the suggestion unit can be performed using, for example, an AI, or can be performed without using an AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the suggestion method based on the emotion.
[0095] When making a suggestion, the suggestion unit can make optimal suggestions by referring to the user's past behavioral history.

The suggestion unit can also learn the user's past behavioral patterns and make optimal suggestions. The suggestion unit can also predict and suggest actions that the user will take during a specific time period. This allows optimal suggestions to be made by referring to the user's past behavioral history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the user's past behavioral data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to analyze the behavioral history.
[0096] When making a suggestion, the suggestion unit can adjust the suggestion taking into account the user's current situation and context. For example, if the user is driving, the suggestion unit can prioritize suggestions related to driving. Furthermore, if the user is taking a break, the suggestion unit can make suggestions tailored to a relaxed situation. Furthermore, if the user is participating in a specific event, the suggestion unit can make suggestions related to the event. This allows optimal suggestions to be made by taking into account the user's current situation and context. Some or all of the above-described processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input data on the user's current situation to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the suggestion based on the context.
[0097] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of suggestions based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the suggestion unit can prioritize important suggestions. If the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit can provide detailed suggestions. If the user is in a hurry, the suggestion unit can quickly provide suggestions. This allows important suggestions to be prioritized by determining the priority of suggestions according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to determine the priority of suggestions based on emotions.
[0098] When making a proposal, the suggestion unit can make optimal suggestions by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the suggestion unit makes suggestions by taking into account information specific to that area. Furthermore, if the user is moving, the suggestion unit can make relevant suggestions based on the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is in a specific facility, the suggestion unit can make suggestions related to that facility. In this way, optimal suggestions can be made by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0100] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0101] The assistant system can further include a health management unit that monitors the user's health condition. The health management unit acquires vital data such as the user's heart rate and blood pressure and sends it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit can evaluate the user's health condition based on this data and suggest a break if necessary. For example, if the user's heart rate is high, the analysis unit can suggest the user to take a break. Also, if the user's blood pressure is abnormally high, the analysis unit can guide the user to the nearest medical institution. This allows the user's health condition to be monitored in real time and appropriate advice to be provided.
[0102] The assistant system can further include a music suggestion unit that estimates the user's emotions and selects music based on the estimated emotions. The music suggestion unit can suggest relaxing music if the user is relaxed. Also, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest music that will reduce stress. Furthermore, if the user wants to cheer up, it can suggest uplifting music. In this way, music that matches the user's emotions can be provided, improving the user's mood while traveling.
[0103] The assistant system can further include a driving analysis unit that analyzes the user's driving style. The driving analysis unit acquires the user's driving data and sends it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit can evaluate the user's driving style based on this data and provide advice on safe driving. For example, if the user frequently brakes or accelerates suddenly, the analysis unit can suggest that the user drive more calmly. Furthermore, if the user continues driving for a long period of time, the analysis unit can suggest that the user take a break. This can improve the user's driving style and promote safe driving.
[0104] The assistant system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the voice tone of the route guidance based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the voice tone of the route guidance can be made gentler to relax the user. Also, if the user is relaxed, the voice tone of the route guidance can be made normal. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the voice tone of the route guidance can be made faster to provide prompt guidance. This allows route guidance to be provided with a voice tone that corresponds to the user's emotions, supporting a comfortable journey.
[0105] The assistant system can further include a hobby learning unit that learns the user's hobbies and interests. The hobby learning unit analyzes the user's past behavioral history and statements to identify the user's hobbies and interests. The analysis unit can provide information related to the user based on this data. For example, if the user is interested in a particular sport, the analysis unit can provide the latest news and event information related to that sport. Also, if the user is interested in a particular music genre, the analysis unit can provide information on new songs and artists in that genre. This allows the system to provide information tailored to the user's hobbies and interests, increasing enjoyment while traveling.
[0106] The assistant system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the suggestions based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the system can suggest relaxing places and activities. If the user wants to cheer up, the system can suggest energetic places and activities. If the user is relaxed, the system can provide regular suggestions. This allows the system to provide suggestions tailored to the user's emotions and improve the user's experience while traveling.
[0107] The assistant system can further include a driving history learning unit that learns the user's driving history. The driving history learning unit analyzes the user's past driving data and identifies the user's driving patterns. The analysis unit can provide the user with optimal driving advice based on this data. For example, if the user frequently uses a specific route, the analysis unit can suggest the optimal driving method for that route. Also, if the user drives during a specific time period, the analysis unit can provide driving advice that takes into account the traffic conditions during that time period. This makes it possible to provide optimal driving advice based on the user's driving history and support safe and efficient driving.
[0108] The assistant system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the app interface based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, a simple, highly visible interface can be provided. If the user is relaxed, an interface containing detailed information can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, an interface that can be operated quickly can be provided. This allows the system to provide an interface that corresponds to the user's emotions and improves operability.
[0109] The assistant system can further include a food learning unit that learns the user's food preferences. The food learning unit analyzes the user's past dining history and comments to identify the user's food preferences. The analysis unit can suggest restaurants and menus relevant to the user based on this data. For example, if the user likes a particular dish, the analysis unit can suggest restaurants that serve that dish. Also, if the user likes a particular ingredient, the analysis unit can suggest menus that use that ingredient. This allows the system to make suggestions based on the user's food preferences, improving the dining experience while on the move.
[0110] The assistant system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the frequency of notifications based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the frequency of notifications can be reduced to reduce the user's burden. If the user is relaxed, notifications can be sent at a normal frequency. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, only important notifications can be sent with priority. This allows the frequency of notifications to be adjusted according to the user's emotions, providing a comfortable user experience.
[0111] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0112] Step 1: The voice recognition unit recognizes the user's voice. The voice recognition unit uses a voice recognition algorithm to analyze the user's voice and convert it into text data. The accuracy of voice recognition can also be adjusted depending on the type of microphone used. For example, using a noise-canceling microphone can eliminate ambient noise and improve the accuracy of voice recognition. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the voice recognized by the voice recognition unit. The analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the voice data and understand the user's intent. It also uses an analysis algorithm to extract the meaning of the voice data and generate appropriate feedback. For example, if a user says, "Tell me where the nearest gas station is," the analysis unit understands the user's intent and obtains information about the nearest gas station. Step 3: The route guidance unit provides route guidance based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The route guidance unit uses map data to calculate the optimal route and guides the user. It can also update routes in real time using navigation algorithms to provide the user with the latest route information. For example, it can propose the optimal route taking traffic congestion information into account. Step 4: The app operation unit operates the smartphone app based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The app operation unit operates the smartphone's music app to play music. It can also operate the smartphone's navigation app to provide route guidance. For example, if the user says "play music," the music app will be launched and the specified music will be played. Step 5: The API integration unit obtains external information based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The API integration unit obtains current weather information using the weather information API. It can also obtain the latest news information using the news API. For example, if a user asks, "What's the weather like today?", the API integration unit obtains current weather information using the weather information API and provides it to the user. Step 6: The suggestion unit makes original suggestions to the user based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit suggests restaurants based on the user's preferences and past behavior history. It can also introduce tourist spots that match the user's preferences. For example, it can suggest restaurants that the user frequently visits and introduce new restaurants.
[0113] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0114] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of the generative AI include a neural network (NN) and a neural network (NN). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats of voice data, text data, image data, etc. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and may perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-mentioned parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. The processing performed by an AI including the generative AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI including the generative AI.
[0115] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

[0137] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0138] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0140] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.
[0141] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0142] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0146] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI.

When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.

[0155] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54.

[0157] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0160] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48.

The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data).

[0164] 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.
[0165] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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."
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: A CPU is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A dedicated electrical circuit, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic device (PLD), or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), is a processor with a circuit configuration specifically designed to execute a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
