[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure.

The specific process 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.
[0025] 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.

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 contract management system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses generative AI to simplify the process from contract management to contract renewal. This contract management system automatically monitors contracts to prevent oversights in contract renewals or terminations. Furthermore, when renewal is necessary, it automatically compares the new contract terms with the existing contract terms and identifies changes. This provides information useful for contract renewal negotiations and automatically generates a new contract proposal. For example, the contract management system monitors contract expiration dates and important clauses and notifies parties of the timing of renewal or termination. This prevents oversights in contract renewal or termination. Next, when new contract terms are presented, the contract management system compares them with the existing contract terms and identifies changes. This provides information useful for contract renewal negotiations. Furthermore, the contract management system creates a new contract proposal based on the changes to support contract renewal negotiations. This streamlines the contract renewal process. This system simplifies the process from contract management to contract renewal, preventing oversights in contract renewal or termination. Furthermore, by providing information useful for contract renewal negotiations and automatically generating a new contract proposal, the contract renewal process is streamlined. This allows the contract management system to efficiently manage contracts from contract management to contract renewal.
[0029] A contract management system according to an embodiment includes a monitoring unit, a notification unit, a comparison unit, and a generation unit. The monitoring unit monitors the deadline or important clauses of a contract. For example, the monitoring unit analyzes contract data and extracts the deadline or important clauses. The monitoring unit can analyze the contents of the contract using text analysis technology, for example, to identify the deadline or important clauses. The monitoring unit can also analyze the contract data using a machine learning algorithm to extract important information. For example, the monitoring unit issues a notification when the contract deadline approaches. The notification unit notifies the user of the timing to renew or terminate the contract based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the notification unit can notify the user by email or SMS when the contract deadline approaches. The notification unit can also notify the user of the timing to renew or terminate the contract using an in-app notification. The comparison unit compares new contract terms with existing contract terms based on the information notified by the notification unit. For example, when new contract terms are presented, the comparison unit compares them with the existing contract terms to identify changes. The comparison unit can compare contract terms and identify changes, for example, using text matching technology. The comparison unit can also perform numerical comparisons to identify changes to contract terms. The generation unit generates a new contract proposal based on the changes identified by the comparison unit. For example, the generation unit creates a new contract proposal based on the changes and supports contract renewal negotiations. The generation unit can create a new contract proposal, for example, using template-based generation technology. The generation unit can also automatically generate contract proposals using generation AI. This allows the contract management system according to the embodiment to efficiently perform tasks from contract management to contract renewal.
[0030] The monitoring unit can analyze contract data and extract deadlines or important clauses. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the contents of the contract using text analysis technology and identify deadlines or important clauses. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the text data of the contract using natural language processing technology and extract deadlines or important clauses. The monitoring unit can also analyze the contract data using a machine learning algorithm and extract important information. For example, the monitoring unit can classify the contract data using clustering technology and identify important clauses. This improves the accuracy of monitoring by automatically extracting important information from the contract. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the text data of the contract into a generation AI, which can analyze the text data and extract deadlines or important clauses.
[0031] The notification unit can provide a notification when the contract expiration date is approaching. For example, the notification unit can provide a notification by email or SMS when the contract expiration date is approaching. For example, the notification unit can provide a notification by email when the contract expiration date is one week away. The notification unit can also provide a notification by SMS when the contract expiration date is one month away. Furthermore, the notification unit can provide a notification of the timing to renew or cancel the contract using an in-app notification. For example, the notification unit can display a pop-up notification within the app when the contract expiration date is approaching. This makes it possible to notify the user of the timing to renew or cancel the contract without missing it. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input the contract expiration date information into the generation AI, which can analyze the expiration date information and provide a notification at the appropriate time.
[0032] The comparison unit can compare new contract terms and conditions with existing contract terms and conditions to identify changes when new contract terms and conditions are presented. For example, the comparison unit can compare new contract terms and conditions with existing contract terms and conditions to identify changes when new contract terms and conditions are presented. For example, the comparison unit can use text matching technology to compare contract terms and identify changes. For example, the comparison unit can compare the text of the new contract terms and existing contract terms and identify differences. The comparison unit can also perform numerical comparisons to identify changes to contract terms. For example, the comparison unit can compare numerical data between the new contract terms and existing contract terms and identify changes. This allows changes to the contract terms to be quickly identified. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the comparison unit can be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the comparison unit can input data of the new contract terms and existing contract terms into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and identify changes.
[0033] The generation unit can create a new contract proposal based on the changes. For example, the generation unit creates a new contract proposal based on the changes to support contract renewal negotiations. For example, the generation unit can create a new contract proposal using a template-based generation technique. For example, the generation unit selects a template based on the changes and generates a new contract proposal. The generation unit can also automatically generate a contract proposal using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs the changes to the generation AI, which then generates a new contract proposal based on the changes. This makes it possible to automatically generate a new contract proposal that is useful for contract renewal negotiations. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the changes to the generation AI, which then generates a new contract proposal based on the changes.
[0034] The monitoring unit can analyze the contract's past update history and select an appropriate monitoring method. For example, the monitoring unit prioritizes monitoring of contracts that have been frequently updated based on the past update history. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the contract's past update history using data mining technology to identify contracts that have been frequently updated. The monitoring unit can also focus monitoring on a specific period based on the past update history. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the contract's past update history using time series analysis technology and focus monitoring on a specific period. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can analyze the past update history and strengthen monitoring only when specific conditions are met. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the contract's past update history using rule-based analysis technology and strengthen monitoring when specific conditions are met. This improves monitoring accuracy by selecting the optimal monitoring method based on the past update history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the contract's past update history data into the generation AI, which can then analyze the data and select an appropriate monitoring method.
[0035] When monitoring a contract, the monitoring unit can adjust the level of monitoring detail based on the type and importance of the contract. For example, the monitoring unit performs detailed monitoring for important contracts and notifies the user of minor changes. For example, the monitoring unit can adjust the level of monitoring detail based on the type and importance of the contract, and perform detailed monitoring for important contracts. The monitoring unit can also perform basic monitoring for general contracts and notify the user of only major changes. For example, the monitoring unit can adjust the level of monitoring detail based on the type and importance of the contract, and perform basic monitoring for general contracts. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can adjust the level of monitoring detail based on the type of contract and provide appropriate information. For example, the monitoring unit can adjust the level of monitoring detail based on the type and importance of the contract and provide appropriate information. In this way, appropriate information can be provided by adjusting the level of monitoring detail based on the type and importance of the contract. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data on the type and importance of the contract into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the level of monitoring detail.
[0036] When monitoring a contract, the monitoring unit can adjust the timing of monitoring based on the user's work schedule. The monitoring unit, for example, adjusts the timing of monitoring to match the user's work schedule. For example, the monitoring unit may refer to the user's calendar information and adjust the timing of monitoring to match the work schedule. The monitoring unit can also perform monitoring to avoid busy hours for the user. For example, the monitoring unit may refer to data from the user's task management system and perform monitoring to avoid busy hours. The monitoring unit can also set the optimal monitoring timing based on the user's work schedule. For example, the monitoring unit may analyze the user's work schedule and set the optimal monitoring timing. This enables efficient monitoring by adjusting the monitoring timing to match the user's work schedule. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the user's work schedule data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the monitoring timing.
[0037] When monitoring a contract, the monitoring unit can prioritize monitoring related contracts by referring to the user's past contract history. The monitoring unit, for example, prioritizes monitoring related contracts based on the user's past contract history. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the user's past contract data to identify related contracts. The monitoring unit can also prioritize monitoring contracts that the user has considered important in the past. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the user's past contract history to identify contracts that the user has considered important. The monitoring unit can also analyze the user's past contract history to prioritize monitoring highly relevant contracts. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the user's past contract history using data mining technology to identify highly relevant contracts. This prioritizes monitoring related contracts based on the user's past contract history, thereby preventing important contracts from being overlooked. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the user's past contract history data into a generation AI, which can analyze the data and prioritize monitoring related contracts.
[0038] The notification unit can adjust the level of detail of the notification based on the importance of the contract when sending a notification. For example, the notification unit provides detailed notifications for important contracts.

The notification unit can also adjust the level of detail of the notification based on the importance of the contract and provide appropriate information. In this way, appropriate information can be provided by adjusting the level of detail of the notification based on the importance of the contract. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input contract importance data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and adjust the level of detail of the notification.
[0039] The notification unit can apply different notification algorithms depending on the category of the contract when making a notification. The notification unit, for example, selects an appropriate notification algorithm depending on the category of the contract. For example, the notification unit selects an appropriate notification algorithm based on the category of the contract and issues a notification. The notification unit can also apply a detailed notification algorithm to important contracts. For example, the notification unit applies a detailed notification algorithm to important contracts based on the category of the contract. The notification unit can also apply a basic notification algorithm to general contracts. For example, the notification unit applies a basic notification algorithm to general contracts based on the category of the contract. This enables efficient notification by applying an appropriate notification algorithm depending on the category of the contract. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input contract category data into the generation AI, which can analyze the data and select an appropriate notification algorithm.
[0040] At the time of notification, the notification unit can determine the priority of notifications based on the submission date of the contract. For example, the notification unit prioritizes notifications for contracts whose submission date is approaching.

Step 4: The generator generates a new contract proposal based on the changes identified by the comparator, for example, using template-based generation techniques or generative AI to create a new contract proposal and assist in contract renewal negotiations.
[0058] (Example 2) A contract management system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses generative AI to simplify the process from contract management to contract renewal. This contract management system automatically monitors contracts to prevent oversights in contract renewals or terminations.

[0129] 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.
[0130] 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. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0131] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. 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 a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 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 also perform processing similar to that of the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0132] 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.
[0133] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 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 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0134] 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.
[0135] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0136] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0137] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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 image sensor or a CCD 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).
[0143] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.
[0144] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0148] 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.
[0149] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0150] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. 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.
[0151] 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.

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.
[0152] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0153] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0154] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0155] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0156] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0157] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0158] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the 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.
[0159] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0160] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0161] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0162] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0163] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0164] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0165] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0166] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0167] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0168] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0169] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
[0170] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
