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) An information provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses AI to perform personalized analysis of a user's behavioral history and interests, automatically summarizing and providing information likely to be of interest to the user. This information provision system uses AI to analyze a user's behavioral history and interests, extract information likely to be of interest to the user based on the analysis results, and then summarizes the extracted information and provides it to the user. For example, the information provision system uses AI to analyze the user's frequently visited websites, app usage history, and social media posts. This allows the system to understand the user's interests. Next, the AI ​​extracts information likely to be of interest to the user based on the analysis results. For example, if the user is interested in sports, the AI ​​extracts the latest sports news and game results. Similarly, if the user is interested in technology, the AI ​​extracts the latest technology trends and gadget information. Finally, the AI ​​summarizes the extracted information and provides it to the user. For example, the AI ​​may summarize a long news article or consolidate information from multiple sources. This allows the user to grasp the information they need in a short amount of time. This system allows users to efficiently grasp the information they need without being overwhelmed by a large amount of information. Furthermore, since information is provided based on the user's interests, user satisfaction is improved. For example, a busy businessman can quickly get up to speed on the latest industry news, and a student can efficiently gather study materials. This allows the information provision system to automatically summarize and provide information that is likely to be of interest to the user based on the user's behavioral history.

[0029] An information provision system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, an extraction unit, a summarization unit, and a provision unit.

The summarizing unit can analyze the user's past learning history and feedback to understand the user's learning style. This allows the system to provide the most effective summary for the user.

[0106] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the frequency of information provision based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the frequency of information provision can be reduced, allowing more time for relaxation. Also, if the user is excited, the frequency of information provision can be increased, quickly providing the latest news and trend information. Furthermore, if the user is tired, information that can be consumed in a short time can be provided. For example, the providing unit can capture the user's facial expression with a camera and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. The providing unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using voice analysis technology. This makes it possible to adjust the frequency of information provision according to the user's emotions.

[0107] The collection unit can collect the user's device usage status and select the optimal information provision method. For example, if the user frequently uses a smartphone, information can be provided in a mobile-friendly format. Also, if the user uses a tablet, information can be provided in a layout suitable for a large screen. Furthermore, if the user uses a desktop, information can be provided in a layout including detailed information. This makes it possible to select the optimal information provision method based on the user's device usage status. The collection unit can analyze the user's device usage history and determine which device the user uses most frequently. This makes it possible to provide information in a format that is most user-friendly for the user.

[0108] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the information collection method based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can prioritize collecting relaxing content. Also, if the user is excited, it can collect highly entertaining content. Furthermore, if the user is tired, it can collect content that can be consumed in a short time. For example, the collection unit can capture the user's facial expression with a camera and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. The collection unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using voice analysis technology. This makes it possible to adjust the information collection method according to the user's emotions.

[0109] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method of the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a simple and highly visible notification method can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a notification method including detailed information can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a notification method that focuses on the main points can be provided. For example, the analysis unit can capture the user's facial expressions with a camera and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. The analysis unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using voice analysis technology. This makes it possible to adjust the notification method of the analysis results according to the user's emotions.

[0110] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of providing information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, information can be provided at a time when the user is able to relax. Also, if the user is excited, information can be provided immediately. Furthermore, if the user is tired, information can be provided after the user has rested. For example, the providing unit can capture the user's facial expression with a camera and estimate the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. The providing unit can also record the user's voice and estimate the emotion using voice analysis technology. This makes it possible to adjust the timing of providing information according to the user's emotions.

[0111] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0112] Step 1: The collection unit collects the user's behavioral history. The user's behavioral history includes website browsing history, app usage history, and content posted on social media. For example, the collection unit records the URLs of websites frequently visited by the user and the browsing time, collects app usage history, and records the number of times the app is launched and the usage time. Furthermore, the collection unit collects content posted on social media and records the text, images, comments, etc. of the post. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis is performed using statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, and text mining technology. For example, the analysis unit performs statistical analysis on the collected data to understand the user's interests and concerns. It can also analyze the data using machine learning algorithms to understand the user's behavioral patterns. It can also use text mining technology to analyze the content of social media posts to understand the user's emotions and concerns. Step 3: The extraction unit extracts information based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Information extraction is performed by methods such as keyword extraction and selection of highly relevant information. For example, the extraction unit extracts relevant keywords based on the user's interests and selects highly relevant information. It can also filter information based on the user's interests to extract only the necessary information. Step 4: The Summarizer summarizes the information extracted by the Extractor. Summarization is based on the length of the text and the importance of the information being summarized. For example, the Summarizer can summarize a long news article in a short form or combine information from multiple sources. It can also extract important information and summarize it succinctly. Step 5: The providing unit provides the information summarized by the summarizing unit to the user. The information is provided by a notification, an email, a dashboard display, or the like. For example, the providing unit may provide the summarized information to the user as a notification and send it by email. Furthermore, the summarized information may be displayed on a dashboard so that the user can access it at any time.

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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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).

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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."

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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, 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.
