[0059] (Example 2) A market forecast generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a market forecast generation AI to reduce the time and cost required for new business teams to enter existing markets. This market forecast generation system aims to grasp market trends and generate business development directions. While traditional methods involve market research and analysis conducted by personnel, this system differentiates itself by providing consistent, large-scale analysis and expert advice. For example, the system collects market data, including past sales data, consumer behavior data, and competitor trends. This data is then input into the generation AI, which then analyzes the collected market data. The generation AI quickly processes large amounts of data and extracts market trends and patterns. For example, it analyzes products with increased sales during specific seasons and changes in consumer preferences. Based on the analysis results, the generation AI generates business development directions. Specifically, it provides advice to new business teams on which markets to enter, what products and services to offer, and what marketing strategies to adopt. This allows new business teams to enter the market quickly and effectively. Furthermore, the generation AI updates its advice in real time in response to market fluctuations. For example, if a competitor launches a new product or consumer preferences change suddenly, the generative AI will provide advice based on the latest data. This allows new business teams to always develop their business based on the latest information. This system allows new business teams to significantly reduce the time and cost required for market research and analysis. In addition, receiving consistent, large-scale analysis and expert advice enables more effective business development. In this way, the market prediction generation system allows new business teams to significantly reduce the time and cost required for market research and analysis, allowing them to enter the market quickly and effectively.

The provision unit can provide advice based on the direction generated by the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0090] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0091] The collection unit can analyze the user's purchase history and select market data collection targets based on past purchase patterns. For example, the collection unit can identify product categories that the user has purchased in the past and prioritize collecting market data related to those categories. The collection unit can also analyze the user's purchase frequency and collect data related to frequently purchased products. Furthermore, the collection unit can take into account the time of the user's purchases and collect data related to specific seasons or events. In this way, by selecting market data collection targets based on the user's purchase history, more relevant data can be collected.

[0092] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of the analysis based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the timing of the analysis can be delayed so that the user can receive the analysis results in a relaxed state. Also, if the user is relaxed, the timing of the analysis can be advanced to provide the analysis results quickly. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the timing of the analysis can be set to immediate so that the analysis can be performed quickly. In this way, by adjusting the timing of the analysis according to the user's emotions, the analysis results can be provided at the optimal timing for the user.

[0093] The generation unit can customize the business development direction to be generated taking into account the user's business goals. For example, if the user aims to increase sales, the generation unit can propose a business development direction specialized for increasing sales. Also, if the user aims to expand market share, the generation unit can propose a business development direction specialized for expanding market share. Furthermore, if the user aims to enter a new market, the generation unit can propose a business development direction specialized for entering a new market. In this way, customizing the business development direction according to the user's business goals enables more effective business development.

[0094] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the format of advice based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, simple, highly visible advice can be provided. If the user is relaxed, detailed advice can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, concise advice that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the format of advice according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide the most suitable advice for the user.

[0095] The collection unit can analyze the user's social media activities and collect related market data. For example, the collection unit can analyze the content of the user's posts on social media and collect related market data. The collection unit can also analyze the activities of the user's followers and friends on social media and collect related market data. Furthermore, the collection unit can analyze the user's social media trends and collect related market data. In this way, highly relevant market data can be collected by analyzing the user's social media activities.

[0096] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the level of analysis detail based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, it can provide simple, highly visible analysis results. If the user is relaxed, it can also provide detailed analysis results. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can also provide concise analysis results that focus on the main points. In this way, by adjusting the level of analysis detail according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide the optimal analysis results for the user.

[0097] The generation unit can customize the business development direction to be generated by referring to the user's past business development history. For example, the generation unit can refer to the user's past success stories and propose similar business development directions. The generation unit can also analyze the user's past failure stories and propose business development directions that include areas for improvement. Furthermore, the generation unit can propose an optimal business development direction based on the user's past business development history. This allows for more effective business development by referring to the user's past business development history.

[0098] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of advice based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, less important advice can be postponed and more important advice can be provided preferentially. Also, if the user is relaxed, all advice can be provided equally. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the most important advice can be provided with the highest priority. In this way, by determining the priority of advice according to the user's emotions, important advice can be provided preferentially.

[0099] The collection unit can prioritize collection of highly relevant market data by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collection of market data related to the user's current location. The collection unit can also collect highly relevant data based on the user's past location information. Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect highly relevant data by taking into account the user's future travel plans. In this way, highly relevant market data can be prioritized by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0100] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the length of the analysis based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide a short, to-the-point analysis result. If the user is relaxed, it can provide a detailed analysis result. Furthermore, if the user is excited, it can provide a visually stimulating analysis result. In this way, by adjusting the length of the analysis according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide the optimal analysis result for the user.

[0101] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0102] Step 1: The collection unit collects market data. Market data includes past sales data, consumer behavior data, competitor trends, and so on. The collection unit can use web scraping technology to collect publicly available data on the Internet. It can also use APIs to obtain market data from specific data sources. For example, it can run a script to automatically extract data from a specific website, or it can obtain the required information from a database through an API. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the market data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit can analyze the market data using machine learning algorithms. For example, regression analysis can be used to predict sales, or clustering algorithms can be used to analyze consumer behavior patterns. Furthermore, deep learning techniques can be used to extract complex data patterns. For example, neural networks can be used to predict changes in consumer preferences. Step 3: The generation unit generates a business development direction based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Based on the analysis results, the generation unit can determine which market to enter and propose what products and services to offer. Furthermore, the generation unit can also generate what marketing strategy should be adopted. For example, it can analyze the trends of competitors in a specific market and propose the optimal marketing strategy based on that. Step 4: The delivery department provides advice based on the direction generated by the generation department. The delivery department can present specific action plans to the new business team. It can also update advice in real time in response to market fluctuations. For example, if a competitor launches a new product, the advice can be updated based on that information.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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."

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.
