[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. 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 presentation creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects related information and automatically generates slides based on a theme and page count entered by a user. This system automatically generates slides using presentation software in a few seconds, simply by entering the theme and page count through a web interface. Specifically, the user first enters the theme and page count through a web interface. The system then collects related information based on the entered theme and determines the slide layout based on the page count. Finally, slides are automatically generated based on the collected information using presentation software templates. This system allows users to create high-quality presentations in a short amount of time. For example, it uses web crawling and APIs to collect information and an AI-based algorithm to determine the slide layout. This significantly reduces the time required to create a presentation and enables the efficient generation of high-quality slides. The presentation creation system can collect related information and automatically generate slides based on the theme and page count entered by the user.
[0029] A presentation creation system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an information collection unit, a layout determination unit, and a slide generation unit. The reception unit receives a theme and page count input by a user. For example, the reception unit allows a user to input the theme and page count through a web interface. The information collection unit collects related information based on the theme received by the reception unit. For example, the information collection unit collects related information on the Internet using web crawling technology. The information collection unit can also obtain information from a database using an API. The layout determination unit determines the layout of slides based on the information collected by the information collection unit. For example, the layout determination unit analyzes the collected information using an AI algorithm to determine the optimal order and content of slides. The slide generation unit generates slides based on the layout determined by the layout determination unit. For example, the slide generation unit uses presentation software templates to reflect the collected information in the slides. This allows the presentation creation system to collect related information and automatically generate slides based on the theme and page count input by the user. For example, the reception unit receives the theme and page count input by the user. The information collection unit collects related information using web crawling or an API. The configuration determination unit determines the optimal slide configuration based on the collected information. The slide generation unit generates slides using templates from the presentation software. This allows the presentation creation system to collect related information and automatically generate slides based on the theme and number of pages entered by the user.
[0030] The reception unit can analyze the user's past theme input history and provide an appropriate input interface. For example, the reception unit can automatically display themes that the user has frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also prioritize and suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest themes to be used in a specific time period based on the user's past input history. This improves input efficiency by providing an optimal input interface based on the user's past input history. The analysis of the past theme input history is performed using, for example, data mining technology. Data mining technology is a technology for extracting useful information from large amounts of data and can perform detailed analysis of the user's past input history. This allows the reception unit to provide an optimal input interface based on the user's past input history.
[0031] When inputting the theme and page count, the reception unit can present input candidates based on the user's current project or field of interest. For example, the reception unit can automatically display themes related to the user's current project as candidates. The reception unit can also suggest related themes based on the user's field of interest. Furthermore, the reception unit can present theme candidates based on fields in which the user has previously shown interest. This improves input efficiency by presenting input candidates based on the user's current project or field of interest. The current project or field of interest can be identified based on, for example, the user's past activity history or survey results. The user's past activity history can be obtained, for example, from a database that records the user's past projects and themes in which the user has shown interest. The survey results can identify the user's field of interest based on the results of a survey answered by the user. This allows the reception unit to grasp the user's current project or field of interest in detail and provide appropriate input candidates.
[0032] When inputting a theme and page count, the reception unit can prioritize the presentation of highly relevant themes based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception unit can prioritize the presentation of themes related to that region. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the reception unit can also suggest themes related to the user's travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is participating in a specific event, the reception unit can prioritize the presentation of themes related to that event. This improves input efficiency by presenting highly relevant themes based on the user's geographical location information. The geographical location information is acquired using, for example, GPS data or an IP address. GPS data can identify the user's current location with high accuracy. An IP address can identify the user's approximate location based on the location information of the user's Internet connection. This allows the reception unit to grasp the user's geographical location in detail and present appropriate themes.
[0033] When the user inputs the theme and page count, the reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest related themes. For example, the reception unit can automatically display themes that the user frequently mentions on social media as candidates. The reception unit can also suggest themes that the user's social media followers are interested in. Furthermore, the reception unit can present themes related to groups and events in which the user participates on social media. This improves the efficiency of input by suggesting related themes based on the user's social media activity. The analysis of social media activity can be performed, for example, by analyzing the content of posts and the followers. The analysis of the content of posts can analyze the content posted by the user on social media to identify the themes of interest. The analysis of the followers can identify themes that the user's followers are interested in and suggest them to the user. This allows the reception unit to grasp the user's social media activity in detail and suggest appropriate themes.
[0034] When collecting information, the information collecting unit can select an appropriate information source by referring to the user's past search history. For example, the information collecting unit preferentially uses information sources that the user has frequently used in the past. The information collecting unit can also select a highly reliable information source from the user's past search history. Furthermore, the information collecting unit can analyze the user's past search history and select the most relevant information source. This improves the efficiency of information collection by selecting the optimal information source based on the user's past search history. The analysis of the past search history is performed using, for example, data mining technology. Data mining technology is a technology for extracting useful information from large amounts of data and can analyze the user's past search history in detail. This allows the information collecting unit to provide the optimal information source based on the user's past search history.
[0035] When collecting information, the information collection unit can use different information collection algorithms depending on the category of the topic. For example, for a topic related to science and technology, the information collection unit can prioritize collecting specialized academic papers. For an entertainment topic, the information collection unit can also collect the latest news articles and blogs. For a business topic, the information collection unit can also collect industry reports and market analyses. This improves the accuracy of information collection by applying information collection algorithms depending on the topic category. The topic categories are classified based on categories such as business, technology, and entertainment. The information collection algorithm is implemented using, for example, web scraping technology or API. Web scraping technology is a technology for automatically collecting information on the Internet, and an API is an interface for retrieving information from a database. This allows the information collection unit to apply the optimal information collection algorithm depending on the topic category and collect highly accurate information.
[0036] When collecting information, the information collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the information collection unit prioritizes collecting information related to that area. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the information collection unit can also collect information related to the travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is participating in a specific event, the information collection unit can prioritize collecting information related to the event. This improves the efficiency of information collection by collecting highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information. Geographical location information is acquired using, for example, GPS data or an IP address. GPS data can identify the user's current location with high accuracy. An IP address can identify the user's approximate location based on the location information of the user's Internet connection destination. This allows the information collection unit to grasp the user's geographical location in detail and collect appropriate information.
[0037] The information collection unit can analyze the user's social media activities and collect related information when collecting information. For example, the information collection unit can collect information related to topics that the user frequently mentions on social media. The information collection unit can also collect information on which the user's social media followers are interested. Furthermore, the information collection unit can collect information related to groups and events in which the user participates on social media. This improves the efficiency of information collection by collecting related information based on the user's social media activities. The analysis of social media activities can be performed, for example, by analyzing the content of posts and analyzing the followers. The analysis of the content of posts analyzes the content posted by the user on social media to identify topics of interest. The analysis of the followers identifies topics of interest to the user's followers and suggests them to the user. This allows the information collection unit to have a detailed understanding of the user's social media activities and collect appropriate information.
[0038] The configuration determination unit can change the level of detail of slides based on the importance of the collected information when determining the configuration. For example, the configuration determination unit creates slides that explain highly important information in detail. The configuration determination unit can also create slides that briefly summarize less important information. Furthermore, the configuration determination unit can adjust the order of slides according to their importance. This improves the quality of slides by adjusting the level of detail of slides based on the importance of the collected information. The importance of information is evaluated based on, for example, the reliability and relevance of the information. The reliability of information is an index that evaluates the reliability of the information source and the accuracy of the information, and the relevance of information is an index that evaluates the relevance to the theme. This allows the configuration determination unit to evaluate the importance of the collected information in detail and provide an appropriate level of detail for the slides.
[0039] The composition determination unit can use different composition algorithms depending on the theme category when determining the composition. For example, for a science and technology theme, the composition determination unit can prioritize a logical composition. For an entertainment theme, the composition determination unit can also prioritize a visually appealing composition. For a business theme, the composition determination unit can also prioritize a data- and analysis-oriented composition. This improves the quality of slides by applying composition algorithms depending on the theme category. The theme categories are classified based on categories such as business, technology, and entertainment. The composition algorithm can be implemented using, for example, template-based composition or automatic composition using AI. Template-based composition is a method of composing slides based on a pre-prepared template, while automatic composition using AI is a method of automatically determining the slide composition using an AI algorithm. This allows the composition determination unit to apply the optimal composition algorithm depending on the theme category and provide high-quality slides.
[0040] The configuration determination unit can set the priority of slides based on the submission time of collected information when determining the configuration. For example, the configuration determination unit preferentially reflects information with an upcoming submission deadline in the slides. The configuration determination unit can also postpone information with a more distant submission deadline. Furthermore, the configuration determination unit can adjust the order of slides according to the submission time. In this way, by determining the priority of slides based on the submission time of collected information, slides can be created in time for the submission deadline. The submission time is obtained using, for example, a project management tool or a calendar application. A project management tool is a tool for managing the progress of a project and submission deadlines, and a calendar application is an application for schedule management. In this way, the configuration determination unit can grasp the submission time of collected information in detail and set appropriate slide priorities.
[0041] The layout determination unit can change the order of slides based on the relevance of the collected information when determining the layout. For example, the layout determination unit arranges highly relevant information consecutively. The layout determination unit can also postpone less relevant information. Furthermore, the layout determination unit can adjust the order of slides according to the relevance of the information. In this way, adjusting the order of slides based on the relevance of the collected information improves the quality of the slides. The relevance of the information is evaluated based on, for example, the reliability of the information and the relevance to the theme. The reliability of the information is an index that evaluates the reliability of the information source and the accuracy of the information, and the relevance of the information is an index that evaluates the relevance to the theme. In this way, the layout determination unit can evaluate the relevance of the collected information in detail and provide an appropriate slide order.
[0042] When generating slides, the slide generator can select an appropriate template by referring to the user's past presentation history. For example, the slide generator can preferentially suggest templates that the user has used in the past. The slide generator can also select the most effective template from the user's past presentation history. Furthermore, the slide generator can analyze the user's past presentation history and suggest an optimal template. This improves the quality of slides by selecting an optimal template based on the user's past presentation history. The analysis of the past presentation history is performed using, for example, data mining technology. Data mining technology is a technology for extracting useful information from large amounts of data and can perform a detailed analysis of the user's past presentation history. This allows the slide generator to provide an optimal template based on the user's past presentation history.
[0043] The slide generator may use different templates depending on the theme category when generating slides. For example, the slide generator may use a specialized template for a science and technology theme. The slide generator may also use a visually appealing template for an entertainment theme. The slide generator may also use a template that emphasizes data and analysis for a business theme. This improves the quality of slides by applying templates depending on the theme category. The theme categories are classified based on categories such as business, technology, and entertainment. Templates are implemented using, for example, presentation templates and report templates. Presentation templates are templates specially designed for presentations, and report templates are templates specially designed for reports. This allows the slide generator to apply the optimal template depending on the theme category and provide high-quality slides.
[0044] When generating slides, the slide generator can select an appropriate template based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific area, the slide generator can suggest a template including a design related to that area. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the slide generator can suggest a template related to the user's travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is attending a specific event, the slide generator can suggest a template related to that event. This improves the quality of slides by selecting an optimal template based on the user's geographical location information. The geographical location information can be acquired using, for example, GPS data or an IP address. GPS data can identify the user's current location with high accuracy. An IP address can identify the user's approximate location based on the location information of the user's Internet connection. This allows the slide generator to grasp the user's geographical location in detail and provide an appropriate template.
[0045] The slide generator can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest relevant templates when generating slides. For example, the slide generator can suggest templates related to topics frequently mentioned by the user on social media. The slide generator can also suggest templates related to topics of interest to the user's social media followers. Furthermore, the slide generator can suggest templates related to groups or events in which the user participates on social media. This improves the quality of slides by suggesting relevant templates based on the user's social media activity. The analysis of social media activity can be performed, for example, by analyzing the content of posts and the followers. The analysis of the content of posts can analyze the content posted by the user on social media to identify topics of interest. The analysis of the followers can identify topics of interest to the user and suggest them to the user. This allows the slide generator to have a detailed understanding of the user's social media activity and provide appropriate templates.
[0046] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0047] The reception unit can analyze the user's input speed and adjust the response speed of the interface based on the input speed. For example, if the user is inputting quickly, the response speed of the interface can be increased to provide immediate feedback. Alternatively, if the user is inputting slowly, the response speed of the interface can be decreased to wait until the user has completed input. Furthermore, if the user interrupts input, the interface can display a message prompting the user to resume input. This improves the user's input experience by adjusting the response speed of the interface according to the user's input speed.
[0048] The reception unit can analyze the user's past theme input history and provide an auto-completion function when inputting. For example, when the user inputs part of a theme that he or she has previously input, the system automatically displays candidates. The system can also suggest related themes based on keywords that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the system can prioritize the most frequently used themes based on the frequency with which the user has input themes in the past. This improves input efficiency by providing an auto-completion function based on the user's past input history.
[0049] The reception unit can automatically suggest relevant materials and references based on the user's current project or area of interest. For example, if the user is working on a specific project, the reception unit can display the latest research papers and articles related to that project. The reception unit can also suggest related books and websites based on the user's area of interest. Furthermore, the reception unit can suggest related materials based on areas in which the user has previously shown interest. This improves the efficiency of information gathering by providing related materials based on the user's current project or area of interest.
[0050] The information collection unit can collect information from region-specific databases and sources based on the user's geographic location information. For example, if the user is in a particular country, information can be collected from government databases and local news sites for that country. If the user is in an urban area, city-specific statistical data and reports can be collected. Furthermore, if the user is in a rural area, agricultural data and local community information can be collected. This improves the relevance of the information by collecting region-specific information based on the user's geographic location information.
[0051] The information collection unit can analyze a user's social media activities and collect related trends and topics in real time. For example, it can collect information related to hashtags that the user frequently mentions on X (formerly Twitter®). It can also collect related information based on articles and posts shared by the user's Facebook® friends. It can also collect related information based on the content of discussions in LinkedIn® groups in which the user participates. This allows the information to be collected in real time based on the user's social media activities, improving the freshness and relevance of the information.
[0052] When collecting information, the information collection unit can refer to the user's past search history and prioritize collection of new related information. For example, it can collect the latest research papers and articles related to keywords searched by the user in the past. It can also collect new content from websites visited by the user in the past. It can also collect new data related to materials downloaded by the user in the past. This improves the freshness and relevance of information by prioritizing collection of new related information based on the user's past search history.
[0053] The information gathering unit can apply different information gathering strategies depending on the topic category. For example, for science and technology topics, information can be collected from specialized academic databases and research institution websites. For entertainment topics, information can be collected from social media and entertainment news sites. Furthermore, for business topics, information can be collected from websites that provide industry reports and market analysis. This allows the application of the most appropriate information gathering strategy depending on the topic category, improving the accuracy and efficiency of information gathering.
[0054] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0055] Step 1: The reception unit receives the theme and the number of pages input by the user. For example, the reception unit allows the user to input the theme and the number of pages through a Web interface. Step 2: The information collection unit collects related information based on the theme received by the reception unit. For example, the information collection unit may use web crawling technology to collect related information on the Internet. The information collection unit may also use an API to obtain information from a database. Step 3: The composition determination unit determines the composition of the slides based on the information collected by the information collection unit. For example, the composition determination unit uses an AI algorithm to analyze the collected information and determine the optimal order and content of the slides. Step 4: The slide generator generates slides based on the layout determined by the layout determiner. For example, the slide generator uses a template of presentation software to reflect the collected information in the slides.
[0056] (Example 2) A presentation creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects related information and automatically generates slides based on a theme and page count entered by a user. This system automatically generates slides using presentation software in a few seconds, simply by entering the theme and page count through a web interface. Specifically, the user first enters the theme and page count through a web interface. The system then collects related information based on the entered theme and determines the slide layout based on the page count.

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.
[0147] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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."
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
