Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) An information organization and article writing support system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes generative AI to support reporters and writers in the process of gathering and writing information, from organizing information to drafting articles. In this system, reporters and writers input information they have gathered into the tool, and the generative AI analyzes this information, extracts key points, and creates a draft article. For example, when a reporter or writer uploads audio data, notes, and related materials from an interview, the generative AI automatically organizes the key points of the information using natural language processing technology. Next, based on the key points extracted by the generative AI, the system generates natural-sounding sentences while taking into account the article's structure and writing style. For example, the system can improve the overall flow of the article by quoting the content of the interview. Furthermore, the generative AI provides the reporter or writer with a draft article and accepts corrections and additional instructions. The reporter or writer makes necessary corrections based on the draft created by the generative AI to complete the final article. This tool allows reporters and writers to efficiently organize large amounts of information and create high-quality articles in a short amount of time. This reduces the reporter's burden and improves the quality of the articles. This allows the information organization and article creation support system to efficiently organize the information gathered by reporters and writers, enabling high-quality articles to be created in a short amount of time.

The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information input by the reception unit and extract important points. The analysis unit automatically organizes the main points of the information using, for example, natural language processing technology. Natural language processing technology includes morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. For example, the analysis unit divides sentences into words using morphological analysis, analyzes the structure of the sentence using grammatical analysis, and understands the meaning of the sentence using semantic analysis. The generation unit creates a draft article based on the important points extracted by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates natural-looking sentences while taking into consideration, for example, the structure and style of the article. The generation unit can generate natural-looking sentences while taking into consideration, for example, the structure and style of the article using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM).

For example, the generation unit can organize the flow of the entire article while quoting the content of an interview. The generation unit can also extract and summarize important parts of the sentence using the generation AI. This allows for the generation of natural-looking sentences, resulting in the creation of high-quality articles. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit can be performed using, for example, the generation AI, or can be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input prompts to the generation AI to generate natural-looking sentences while taking into account the structure and style of the article, and create a draft of the article based on the generated sentences.

For example, the providing unit can input an interface through which a reporter or writer can input instructions for corrections or additions to the generation AI, and accept instructions for corrections or additions based on the generated interface.
[0034] The reception unit can analyze the reporter's past reporting history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit can prioritize and suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the reporter has used in the past. The reception unit can also recommend input methods related to a specific topic based on the reporter's past reporting history. Furthermore, the reception unit can prioritize and suggest input devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) that the reporter has frequently used in the past. This enables efficient information input by selecting the optimal input method based on the reporter's past reporting history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input the reporter's past reporting history data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal input method.
[0035] When inputting information, the reception unit can filter the information based on the reporter's current project or area of interest.

The reception unit can also filter and input highly relevant information based on the reporter's area of interest. Furthermore, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting related information based on topics in which the reporter has shown interest in the past. This allows highly relevant information to be input efficiently by filtering information based on the reporter's current project or area of interest. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the reporter's project or area of interest into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform the filtering.
[0036] When inputting information, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant information by taking into account the geographical location information of the reporter. For example, the reception unit prioritizes inputting information related to the reporter's current location. Furthermore, when the reporter is at a location where the reporter is reporting, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting information related to that location. Furthermore, when the reporter is traveling, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting highly relevant information based on the reporter's current location. In this way, by inputting information taking into account the geographical location information of the reporter, highly relevant information can be input efficiently. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input the reporter's geographical location information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to prioritize input of highly relevant information.

[0056] (Example 2) An information organization and article writing support system according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes generative AI to support reporters and writers in the process of gathering and writing information, from organizing information to drafting articles. In this system, reporters and writers input information they have gathered into the tool, and the generative AI analyzes this information, extracts key points, and creates a draft article. For example, when a reporter or writer uploads audio data, notes, and related materials from an interview, the generative AI automatically organizes the key points of the information using natural language processing technology. Next, based on the key points extracted by the generative AI, the system generates natural-sounding sentences while taking into account the article's structure and writing style. For example, the system can improve the overall flow of the article by quoting the content of the interview. Furthermore, the generative AI provides the reporter or writer with a draft article and accepts corrections and additional instructions. The reporter or writer makes necessary corrections based on the draft created by the generative AI to complete the final article. This tool allows reporters and writers to efficiently organize large amounts of information and create high-quality articles in a short amount of time. This reduces the reporter's burden and improves the quality of the articles.

Specifically, it performs morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis, divides the sentence into words, analyzes the structure of the sentence, and understands the meaning of the sentence. Step 3: The generator creates a draft of the article based on the key points extracted by the analyzer. The generator uses text generation AI (e.g., LLM) and multimodal generation AI to generate natural-sounding sentences while taking into account the article's structure and style. Step 4: The providing unit provides the draft created by the generating unit to the reporter or writer and accepts instructions for corrections and additions.

[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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).
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.

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.
