[0085] The providing unit can adjust the generated music in real time based on user feedback. For example, if the user provides feedback such as "I want it to be brighter" while the music is being played, the providing unit can adjust the melody and tempo of the music to make it brighter. Also, if the user provides feedback such as "I want it to be a little quieter," the providing unit can adjust the volume of the music or the selection of instruments to make it quieter. Furthermore, the providing unit can learn the user's feedback and reflect it in the next music generation. This makes it possible to provide music that suits the user's preferences.

[0086] The providing unit can adjust the method of providing the generated music based on the remaining battery level of the user's device. For example, if the remaining battery level of the user's device is low, the providing unit can suggest low-quality streaming to save data communication volume. Also, if the remaining battery level of the user's device is sufficient, the providing unit can suggest high-quality streaming. Furthermore, if the remaining battery level of the user's device is very low, the providing unit can suggest downloading the music and recommend playing it offline. In this way, the optimal providing method can be selected based on the remaining battery level of the user's device.

[0087] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and provide keyword input support based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can suggest calm keywords. If the user is excited, the reception unit can suggest energetic keywords. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the reception unit can also suggest comforting keywords. In this way, keyword input support based on the user's emotions allows the user to enter more appropriate keywords. Emotions are estimated using facial expression recognition technology and voice analysis technology.

[0088] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the key of the music based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the user is relaxed, the generation unit can generate music in a lower key. If the user is excited, the generation unit can generate music in a higher key. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the generation unit can generate music in an intermediate key. In this way, by adjusting the key of the music based on the user's emotion, more appropriate music can be generated. Emotion estimation is performed using facial expression recognition technology and voice analysis technology.

[0089] The providing unit can adjust the method of providing the generated music based on the user's current activity. For example, if the user is exercising, the providing unit can stream energetic music. If the user is relaxing, the providing unit can provide a download link for calm music. Furthermore, if the user is working, the providing unit can suggest music that will help improve concentration. This allows the optimal method of providing music to be selected based on the user's current activity.

[0090] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the playback order of songs based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the providing unit can play calm songs first. If the user is excited, the providing unit can play energetic songs first. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the providing unit can play comforting songs first. In this way, by adjusting the playback order of songs based on the user's emotions, more appropriate songs can be provided. Emotion estimation is performed using facial expression recognition technology and voice analysis technology.

[0091] The providing unit can adjust the method of providing the generated music piece based on the screen size of the user's device. For example, if the user's device is a smartphone, the providing unit can provide an interface optimized for the smartphone. Also, if the user's device is a tablet, the providing unit can provide an interface optimized for the tablet. Furthermore, if the user's device is a personal computer, the providing unit can also provide an interface optimized for the personal computer. This makes it possible to select the optimal method of providing the music piece based on the screen size of the user's device.

[0092] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0093] Step 1: The reception unit receives keyword input from the user. The user can input the desired atmosphere or theme, such as "a pop feel" or "an uplifting song." Step 2: The generation unit uses the generation AI to analyze the keywords received by the reception unit and generate lyrics and a melody. The generation AI understands the meaning of the keywords and related themes, and generates lyrics and a melody based on that. For example, based on the keywords "poppy, summer memories," it generates bright and cheerful lyrics and a melody. Step 3: The providing unit provides the lyrics and melody generated by the generating unit to the user. The providing unit can provide the generated music as a download link or as a streaming playback. For example, the providing unit provides the generated music so that it can be played on a smartphone or a PC.

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. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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).

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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."

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.
