Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) In an embodiment of the present invention, a travel suggestion system automatically creates multiple itineraries with catchy titles after a user inputs their attributes, preferences, and images similar to the scenery they want to see. The system then arranges transportation, adjusts routes, and accommodations, and researches recommended tourist spots to create an itinerary that includes these. Furthermore, users can change parts of the itinerary or replace it with a better plan, and the itinerary is updated in real time to be executable. Once the plan is finalized, a list of preparations required before and on the day is displayed to prevent forgetting items. This system addresses the needs of users who are unsure about trip preparations, find travel agency plans expensive and inaccessible, or want to customize their trip but find research tedious. Before the trip, the system provides trivia about the destination and information on how to have fun. After the trip, the information is saved in a shareable archive, and new itineraries are suggested based on the satisfaction level of past trips. This makes travel even more enjoyable. For example, when a user inputs their attributes and preferences, the system generates an optimal itinerary based on that information. The system arranges transportation, adjusts routes, and books accommodations, and researches recommended tourist spots, creating an itinerary that includes all of these. Users can change parts of the itinerary or replace it with a better plan, and the itinerary is updated accordingly in real time to make it actionable. Once the plan is finalized, a list of preparations that need to be made before the trip and things that will be necessary on the day is displayed to prevent users from forgetting anything. Before the trip, the system provides trivia about the destination and information on how to have fun, and after the trip, this information is saved in an archive that can be shared, and new itineraries are suggested based on satisfaction with past trips. This allows the travel suggestion system to generate optimal itineraries based on user attributes and preferences, update them in real time, and provide and manage information before and after the trip.
[0029] A travel suggestion system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, an update unit, a provision unit, and a management unit. The reception unit receives information about a user's attributes and preferences. The user's attribute and preference information includes, but is not limited to, age, gender, travel purpose, and activities of interest. The reception unit, for example, stores the information entered by the user in a database and provides it to the generation unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate an optimal itinerary based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates an itinerary by combining transportation means, routes, accommodations, tourist spots, and other information based on the user's attribute and preference information. The generation unit generates an itinerary in response to, for example, a prompt from the generation AI saying, "Please generate an optimal itinerary based on the user's attributes and preferences." The update unit updates the itinerary in real time in response to user changes. For example, if the user makes changes to the itinerary, the update unit generates a new itinerary reflecting the changes. The update unit can also regenerate the itinerary based on the user's changes using the generation AI. The provision unit provides pre-travel information. The providing unit provides, for example, weather information, traffic information, and information on tourist attractions at the travel destination. The providing unit can also use the generation AI to provide optimal information based on the user's attributes and preferences. The management unit manages post-travel archives. The management unit, for example, stores travel photos, diaries, reviews, and the like so that the user can refer to them later. The management unit can also use the generation AI to suggest new itineraries based on the user's past travel history. As a result, the travel suggestion system according to the embodiment can generate optimal itineraries based on the user's attributes and preferences, update them in real time, and provide and manage information before and after the trip.
[0030] The reception unit can analyze the user's past travel history and automatically suggest appropriate attribute and preference information.

The reception unit can also automatically extract and suggest preferred activities from the user's past travel history. Furthermore, the reception unit can suggest similar accommodations based on data on accommodations the user has used in the past. This makes it possible to generate an itinerary that suits the user's preferences by suggesting optimal information based on the user's past travel history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past travel data into the generation AI and have the generation AI suggest optimal attribute and preference information.
[0031] When inputting attribute and preference information, the reception unit can perform filtering based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest.

For example, the update unit can input the user's past change data into a generation AI and have the generation AI suggest an optimal update method.
[0035] When updating an itinerary, the update unit can customize the update content based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, when the user inputs their current living situation, the update unit can suggest related travel destinations based on that information. Furthermore, when the user inputs their areas of interest, the update unit can suggest related activities based on that information. Furthermore, the update unit can filter unnecessary information and display only the necessary information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. This allows for customizing the update content based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest, thereby providing a more relevant itinerary. Some or all of the above-described processing in the update unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the update unit can input the user's living situation data into a generation AI and have the generation AI customize the update content.
[0036] When providing information, the providing unit can analyze the user's past travel history and provide appropriate information. For example, the providing unit can provide information on similar travel destinations based on data on travel destinations the user has visited in the past. The providing unit can also provide information on preferred activities based on the user's past travel history. Furthermore, the providing unit can also provide information on similar accommodations based on data on accommodations the user has used in the past. This makes it possible to provide optimal information based on the user's past travel history and provide information that matches the user's preferences. Some or all of the above-described processing in the providing unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the providing unit can input the user's past travel data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to provide optimal information.
[0037] The providing unit can customize information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest when providing information.

This makes it possible to provide a dining experience that suits the user's preferences by suggesting optimal meal plans based on the user's past travel history.
[0047] The providing unit can acquire the user's current weather information and suggest activities at the travel destination based on the weather. For example, if it is raining, indoor activities that can be enjoyed can be suggested. If it is sunny, outdoor activities can be suggested. Furthermore, if extreme weather conditions are predicted, alternative travel destinations and activities can be suggested. This allows the user to minimize inconvenience during their trip by suggesting optimal activities based on current weather information.
[0048] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0049] Step 1: The reception unit receives information about the user's attributes and preferences. The user's attributes and preferences include, for example, age, gender, purpose of travel, and activities of interest. The reception unit stores the information entered by the user in a database and provides it to the generation unit. Step 2: The generation unit uses the generation AI to generate an optimal itinerary based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates an itinerary by combining transportation methods, routes, accommodations, tourist spots, etc. based on the user's attributes and preferences. Step 3: The update unit updates the itinerary in real time according to the user's changes. If the user changes any part of the itinerary, a new itinerary is generated that reflects the changes. The update unit can also use the generation AI to regenerate the itinerary based on the user's changes. Step 4: The provider provides pre-trip information, such as weather information, traffic information, and tourist information for the travel destination. The provider can also use generation AI to provide optimal information based on the user's attributes and preferences. Step 5: The management unit manages the post-trip archive. The management unit stores travel photos, diaries, reviews, etc. for users to refer to later. The management unit can also use generative AI to suggest new itineraries based on the user's past travel history.
[0050] (Example 2) In an embodiment of the present invention, a travel suggestion system automatically creates multiple itineraries with catchy titles after a user inputs their attributes, preferences, and images similar to the scenery they want to see. The system then arranges transportation, adjusts routes, and accommodations, and researches recommended tourist spots to create an itinerary that includes these. Furthermore, users can change parts of the itinerary or replace it with a better plan, and the itinerary is updated in real time to be executable. Once the plan is finalized, a list of preparations required before and on the day is displayed to prevent forgetting items. This system addresses the needs of users who are unsure about trip preparations, find travel agency plans expensive and inaccessible, or want to customize their trip but find research tedious. Before the trip, the system provides trivia about the destination and information on how to have fun. After the trip, the information is saved in a shareable archive, and new itineraries are suggested based on the satisfaction level of past trips. This makes travel even more enjoyable. For example, when a user inputs their attributes and preferences, the system generates an optimal itinerary based on that information. The system arranges transportation, adjusts routes, and books accommodations, and researches recommended tourist spots, creating an itinerary that includes all of these. Users can change parts of the itinerary or replace it with a better plan, and the itinerary is updated accordingly in real time to make it actionable. Once the plan is finalized, a list of preparations that need to be made before the trip and things that will be necessary on the day is displayed to prevent users from forgetting anything. Before the trip, the system provides trivia about the destination and information on how to have fun, and after the trip, this information is saved in an archive that can be shared, and new itineraries are suggested based on satisfaction with past trips. This allows the travel suggestion system to generate optimal itineraries based on user attributes and preferences, update them in real time, and provide and manage information before and after the trip.
[0051] A travel suggestion system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, an update unit, a provision unit, and a management unit. The reception unit receives information about a user's attributes and preferences. The user's attribute and preference information includes, but is not limited to, age, gender, travel purpose, and activities of interest. The reception unit, for example, stores the information entered by the user in a database and provides it to the generation unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate an optimal itinerary based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates an itinerary by combining transportation means, routes, accommodations, tourist spots, and other information based on the user's attribute and preference information. The generation unit generates an itinerary in response to, for example, a prompt from the generation AI saying, "Please generate an optimal itinerary based on the user's attributes and preferences." The update unit updates the itinerary in real time in response to user changes. For example, if the user makes changes to the itinerary, the update unit generates a new itinerary reflecting the changes. The update unit can also regenerate the itinerary based on the user's changes using the generation AI. The provision unit provides pre-travel information. The providing unit provides, for example, weather information, traffic information, and information on tourist attractions at the travel destination. The providing unit can also use the generation AI to provide optimal information based on the user's attributes and preferences. The management unit manages post-travel archives. The management unit, for example, stores travel photos, diaries, reviews, and the like so that the user can refer to them later. The management unit can also use the generation AI to suggest new itineraries based on the user's past travel history. As a result, the travel suggestion system according to the embodiment can generate optimal itineraries based on the user's attributes and preferences, update them in real time, and provide and manage information before and after the trip.
[0052] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the input method for attribute and preference information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can provide a simple interface and minimize input steps. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can provide detailed input options and suggest a customizable input method.

An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of the generative AI include a neural network (NN) and a neural network (NN). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing 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 of voice data, text data, image data, etc. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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 model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and may perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-mentioned 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. The processing performed by an AI including the generative AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI including the generative AI.

[0131] 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.
[0132] 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 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).

[0134] 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.
[0135] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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).
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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."
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
