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) A facilitation system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses AI to smoothly resolve disagreements during discussions and meetings. This system accepts input of an agenda, and AI facilitates the discussion based on the agenda and makes suggestions for resolving disagreements between participants. This addresses the limited resources of skilled facilitators and provides cost-effective and efficient solutions. For example, participants in a discussion or meeting input the agenda. They simply enter the details and purpose of the agenda. For example, they input an agenda such as "discuss the project agenda." This information is then input into AI. The AI then analyzes the input agenda and facilitates the discussion. The AI makes suggestions for resolving disagreements between participants based on the agenda. For example, if participants have different opinions on a project agenda, the AI organizes their opinions and proposes optimal solutions. This allows participants to efficiently advance the discussion. Furthermore, during the facilitation process, the AI analyzes participants' opinions in real time and corrects the direction of the discussion as necessary. For example, if a discussion reaches a deadlock or a particular opinion is overemphasized, AI can intervene at the appropriate time and provide advice to smooth the discussion. This mechanism addresses the limited resources of skilled facilitators and provides cost-effective and efficient solutions. For example, AI can facilitate corporate meetings or project team discussions, saving time and costs while leading to better conclusions. AI can also learn from data from past discussions to improve the accuracy of its facilitation. For example, it can analyze successful and unsuccessful solutions in past discussions and apply this knowledge to the next discussion. This allows AI to continuously evolve and provide more effective facilitation. This allows the facilitation system to smoothly resolve differences in discussions and meetings and support efficient discussion progress.
[0029] A facilitation system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a correction unit. The reception unit accepts input of an agenda. The agenda may include, but is not limited to, a meeting topic, an issue, or a subject of discussion. For example, the reception unit allows a user to input the agenda in text format. The reception unit can also accept the agenda using voice input. For example, the user may input the agenda through voice and convert it into text data using voice recognition technology. The analysis unit analyzes the agenda accepted by the reception unit. Examples of analysis include, but are not limited to, data analysis, text analysis, and sentiment analysis. For example, the analysis unit may analyze the content of the agenda using text analysis technology to extract important keywords and phrases. The analysis unit can also analyze emotional elements included in the agenda using sentiment analysis technology. The proposal unit organizes opinions based on the agenda analyzed by the analysis unit and proposes solutions. Examples of proposals include, but are not limited to, consensus building, compromise proposals, and facilitation techniques. The proposal unit, for example, organizes opinions among participants based on the agenda and proposes an optimal solution. The proposal unit can also refer to past discussion data and make proposals based on successful solutions and unsuccessful approaches. The correction unit corrects the discussion based on the solution proposed by the proposal unit. Corrections include, for example, changing the direction of the discussion, providing additional information, reevaluating opinions, etc., but are not limited to these examples. The correction unit, for example, analyzes the discussion in real time and corrects the direction of the discussion as necessary. The correction unit can also monitor the progress of the discussion and intervene at an appropriate time. As a result, the facilitation system according to the embodiment enables efficient discussion progress by consistently performing processes from inputting the agenda to analysis, proposals, and corrections.
[0030] The facilitation system further includes a learning unit that learns discussion data. The learning unit learns past discussion data. Examples of discussion data include, but are not limited to, meeting minutes, chat logs, and audio data. For example, the learning unit analyzes past meeting minutes using text analysis technology to extract important keywords and phrases. The learning unit can also analyze audio data using audio analysis technology to convert the content of discussions into text data. Furthermore, the learning unit can develop algorithms to improve the accuracy of facilitation based on past discussion data. For example, the learning unit can analyze successful solutions and unsuccessful approaches in past discussions and apply them to the next discussion. This enables the learning unit to continuously evolve and provide more effective facilitation. Some or all of the above-described processing in the learning unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the learning unit can input past discussion data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to develop an algorithm to improve the accuracy of facilitation.
[0031] The facilitation system further includes a monitoring unit that monitors the discussion. The monitoring unit monitors the progress of the discussion. Examples of monitoring include, but are not limited to, real-time monitoring, log analysis, and sentiment analysis. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the progress of the discussion in real time and intervenes when the discussion reaches an impasse or when a particular opinion is overemphasized. The monitoring unit can also analyze the discussion log to grasp the progress of the discussion. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can use sentiment analysis technology to analyze the emotions of users participating in the discussion and identify factors that affect the progress of the discussion. This enables the monitoring unit to intervene at an appropriate time and provide advice to facilitate the progress of the discussion. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input discussion data acquired in real time into a generation AI to analyze the progress of the discussion.

For example, the analysis unit organizes opinions between participants based on the agenda and proposes an optimal solution. The analysis unit can also refer to past discussion data and make proposals based on successful and unsuccessful approaches. This allows the analysis unit to make proposals for resolving differences of opinion between participants, thereby improving the efficiency of discussions. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the analysis unit can cause a generation AI to execute proposals for resolving disagreements between participants based on the agenda.
[0034] The correction unit can analyze the discussion and correct the direction of the discussion as necessary. The correction unit can, for example, analyze the discussion in real time and correct the direction of the discussion as necessary. Corrections include, but are not limited to, changing the focus of the discussion, introducing a new perspective, and managing the progress of the discussion. For example, the correction unit can provide a new perspective and restart the discussion if the discussion has reached an impasse. The correction unit can also propose corrections to balance the discussion if it has become overly one-sided. Furthermore, the correction unit can propose appropriate corrections according to the progress of the discussion while the discussion is in progress. In this way, the correction unit can correct the discussion in real time, thereby smoothing the progress of the discussion. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the correction unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without AI. For example, the correction unit can input discussion data acquired in real time into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute suggestions to correct the direction of the discussion.

The reception unit, for example, analyzes past agenda input history and selects the optimal input method. The agenda input history includes, for example, past agendas, input dates and times, and inputters, but is not limited to these examples. The reception unit, for example, preferentially suggests input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also refer to the format of agendas previously input by the user and suggest input in a similar format. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest an input method to be used in a specific time period based on the user's past input history. In this way, the reception unit can provide the user with the optimal input method by analyzing the past agenda input history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the past agenda input history into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute a suggestion for selecting the optimal input method.
[0036] The reception unit may filter the agenda items based on the user's projects and areas of interest when the agenda items are input. For example, the reception unit may filter the agenda items based on the user's projects and areas of interest when the agenda items are input. Examples of projects and areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ongoing projects, fields of expertise, and topics of interest. For example, the reception unit may preferentially display agenda items related to the user's ongoing projects. The reception unit may also suggest related agenda items based on the user's areas of interest. Furthermore, the reception unit may suggest highly relevant agenda items by referring to the user's past project history. This allows the reception unit to preferentially input highly relevant agenda items by filtering based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the reception unit may input data on the user's projects and areas of interest to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute suggestions for filtering.
[0037] The reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant agenda items by taking into account the user's geographical location information when inputting agenda items. For example, the reception unit prioritizes inputting highly relevant agenda items by taking into account the user's geographical location information when inputting agenda items.

For example, if a user has had strong opinions on a particular topic in the past, the user's opinions can be actively incorporated when a discussion related to that topic takes place. Furthermore, if a user has behaved in a way that hinders the progress of the discussion in the past, advice can be provided to avoid such behavior. Furthermore, the discussion participation history analysis unit can make suggestions to smooth the progress of the discussion based on the user's discussion participation patterns. As a result, the facilitation system can utilize the user's past discussion participation history to support the progress of the discussion more effectively.
[0116] The facilitation system may further include an emotional content adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the content of the discussion based on the estimated emotions. The emotional content adjustment unit analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, and text data to estimate emotions in real time. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the content of the discussion can be lightened and changed to a relaxing topic. The emotional content adjustment unit can also suggest content for deeper discussion if the user is relaxed. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the emotional content adjustment unit can suggest a stimulating topic to utilize the user's energy. This enables the facilitation system to provide more appropriate discussion content by taking the user's emotions into consideration.
[0117] The facilitation system may further include an emotion progression speed adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the speed of the discussion based on the estimated emotions. The emotion progression speed adjustment unit analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, and text data to estimate emotions in real time. For example, if the user is nervous, the emotion progression speed adjustment unit can slow down the speed of the discussion to allow the user to relax. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the emotion progression speed adjustment unit can also speed up the speed of the discussion to enable an efficient discussion. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the emotion progression speed adjustment unit can adjust the speed of the discussion and make suggestions to utilize energy. This enables the facilitation system to provide a more appropriate speed of the discussion by taking the user's emotions into consideration.
[0118] The facilitation system may further include an emotion format adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotion and adjusts the discussion format based on the estimated emotion. The emotion format adjustment unit analyzes the user's facial expressions, voice, and text data to estimate the emotion in real time. For example, if the user is nervous, it may provide a simple, highly visible format. If the user is relaxed, the emotion format adjustment unit may also provide a detailed format. If the user is excited, the emotion format adjustment unit may also provide a visually stimulating format. This enables the facilitation system to provide a more appropriate discussion format by taking the user's emotion into consideration.
[0119] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0120] Step 1: The reception unit accepts input of the agenda. The agenda includes the meeting topic, issues, and subjects of discussion. The reception unit allows users to input the agenda in text format. It can also accept the agenda via voice input, which is converted into text data using voice recognition technology. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the agenda received by the reception unit. The analysis includes data analysis, text analysis, and sentiment analysis. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the agenda using text analysis technology and extracts important keywords and phrases. It can also use sentiment analysis technology to analyze the emotional elements contained in the agenda. Step 3: The proposal section organizes opinions based on the agenda analyzed by the analysis section and proposes solutions. Proposals include consensus building, presenting compromises, and facilitation techniques. The proposal section organizes opinions among participants based on the agenda and proposes optimal solutions. It can also refer to past discussion data and make proposals based on successful solutions and unsuccessful approaches. Step 4: The Revision Department revises the discussion based on the solutions proposed by the Proposal Department. Revisions can include changing the direction of the discussion, providing additional information, or reevaluating opinions. The Revision Department analyzes the discussion in real time and revises the direction of the discussion as necessary. It can also monitor the progress of the discussion and intervene at the appropriate time.

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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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).
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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."
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.

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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
