The provision unit is realized, for example, by the display 343 of the headset-type terminal 314, and displays the generated story as a script for reading aloud. === Hard Collateral 1-4 === Each of the multiple elements including the input unit, generation unit, and provision unit described above is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the input unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414, and the user inputs information such as the child's age, gender, hobbies, and preferences by voice. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and generates a story based on the input information using a generation AI. The provision unit is realized, for example, by the speaker 240 of the robot 414, and provides the generated story by voice as a script to be read aloud.

[0081] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0082] The input unit can analyze the user's tone of voice and speaking style to estimate the user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the input unit can display a prompt requesting more detailed information. If the user is calm, the input unit can display a concise prompt. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the input unit can provide an option to simplify input. This allows for smoother operation by adjusting the input method according to the user's emotions.

[0083] The generator can analyze the user's past story generation history and suggest story themes based on the user's preferences. For example, the generator can prioritize suggesting themes that the user has previously liked (adventure, fantasy, animals, etc.). The generator can also generate new stories that incorporate elements of stories that the user has previously rated. Furthermore, the generator can customize the content of the story based on the user's past feedback. This makes it possible to provide stories that meet the user's preferences.

[0084] When generating a story, the generation unit can adjust the tone of the story based on the user's current mood. For example, if the user is relaxed, the generation unit can generate a story in a calm tone. If the user is excited, the generation unit can generate a story in an exciting tone. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the generation unit can generate a story in a comforting tone. In this way, by adjusting the tone of the story according to the user's emotions, a more attractive story can be provided.

[0085] The provider may automatically synchronize the generated story to the user's device. For example, the provider may synchronize the story to the user's device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC. The provider may also synchronize the progress so that the user can continue reading the story on different devices. Furthermore, the provider may download the story to the device so that the user can read the story offline. This allows the user to enjoy the story anytime, anywhere.

[0086] The providing unit can automatically share the generated story to the user's social media account. For example, the providing unit posts the user's generated story to social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The providing unit can also generate a link that the user can use to share the story with friends and family. Furthermore, the providing unit can provide a comment function that allows the user to receive feedback on the story. This allows the user to easily share the generated story and enjoy it with others.

[0087] The input unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the input unit can prioritize and suggest input methods (voice input, text input, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The input unit can also suggest the optimal input method for a specific time period based on the user's past input history. Furthermore, the input unit can customize the input method based on information the user has previously entered. In this way, the input unit can provide the optimal input method for the user by analyzing the past input history.

[0088] The input unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of input based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the input unit can delay the timing of input to allow input in a relaxed state. Also, if the user is relaxed, the input unit can speed up the timing of input to allow input to proceed smoothly. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the input unit can optimize the timing of input to allow information to be input quickly. In this way, by adjusting the timing of input according to the user's emotions, information can be input at a more appropriate timing.

[0089] When generating a story, the generator can adjust the content of the story based on the user's current lifestyle. For example, if the user is busy, the generator can generate a short and concise story. If the user is relaxed, the generator can generate a long and detailed story. Furthermore, if the user is celebrating a specific event (such as a birthday or a holiday), the generator can generate a story related to that event. This allows the generator to provide a more appropriate story by adjusting the content of the story according to the user's lifestyle.

[0090] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the script based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the providing unit can display the script in calm colors. If the user is excited, the providing unit can display the script in vivid colors. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the providing unit can display the script in a simple design with high visibility. This allows for more appropriate display by adjusting the display method of the script according to the user's emotions.

[0091] The providing unit can customize the generated story based on the user's preferences. For example, the providing unit can provide a story that incorporates characters or themes that the user likes. The providing unit can also provide a new story that reflects elements of stories that the user has previously evaluated. Furthermore, the providing unit can adjust the content of the story based on user feedback. This makes it possible to provide a story that is customized according to the user's preferences.

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

[0093] Step 1: The input unit inputs information such as the target's age, gender, and hobbies and preferences. For example, the input unit acquires information such as age, gender, and hobbies and preferences entered by the user. The user can enter detailed information such as the child's age, gender, favorite characters, and themes. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a story based on the information input by the input unit. The generation AI generates a story that suits the input information based on data it has learned in advance. For example, if a 5-year-old girl likes animals, it will generate a story about animal adventures. The generation AI can generate stories using text generation AI (e.g., GPT-4) or multimodal generation AI. Step 3: The providing unit provides the story generated by the generating unit as a script for reading aloud. For example, if the generated story is titled "Animal's Great Adventure" and is about animals going on an adventure to find treasure in the forest, the reading will be based on that script.

[0094] 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 microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding 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.

[0095] 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.

[0096] 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.

[0141] 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 identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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. 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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.
