For example, if the suspicious person is nervous, the alarm device can increase the volume of the alarm to heighten their vigilance. Furthermore, if the suspicious person is relaxed, the alarm device can also increase the volume of the alarm to heighten their vigilance. Furthermore, if the suspicious person is in a hurry, the alarm device can also increase the volume of the alarm to heighten their vigilance. This enables the alarm device to adjust the sounding of the alarm according to the emotions of the suspicious person. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI can be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0104] When issuing an alarm, the alarm device can improve the accuracy of the alarm by referring to past suspicious person data. For example, the alarm device can improve the accuracy of the alarm by referring to data on suspicious persons who have caused problems in the past. The alarm device can also improve the accuracy of the alarm by referring to data on suspicious persons who have appeared frequently in the past. Furthermore, the alarm device can improve the accuracy of the alarm based on past suspicious person data. In this way, the alarm device improves the accuracy of the alarm based on past suspicious person data. Suspicious person data includes, for example, the characteristics of the suspicious person, behavior patterns, past alarm history, etc., but is not limited to these examples.

[0105] The alarm device can estimate the emotions of a suspicious person and determine the priority of an alarm based on the estimated emotions of the suspicious person. For example, if the suspicious person is nervous, the alarm device can prioritize sounding the alarm and increasing their vigilance. The alarm device can also prioritize sounding the alarm and increasing their vigilance if the suspicious person is relaxed. Furthermore, the alarm device can prioritize sounding the alarm and increasing their vigilance if the suspicious person is in a hurry. This allows the alarm device to determine the priority of an alarm according to the emotions of the suspicious person. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI can be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0106] When issuing an alarm, the alarm device can adjust the sounding of the alarm taking into account the geographical location information of the suspicious individual. For example, if the suspicious individual is coming from a nearby area, the alarm device can increase the sound of the alarm to heighten vigilance. Also, if the suspicious individual is coming from a distant area, the alarm device can increase the sound of the alarm to heighten vigilance. Furthermore, if the suspicious individual is coming from a specific area, the alarm device can also sound an alarm that includes information related to that area. This allows the alarm device to adjust the sounding of the alarm based on the geographical location information of the suspicious individual. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data, address information, etc.

[0107] The camera device can estimate the visitor's emotions and adjust the camera's shooting method based on the estimated visitor's emotions. For example, if the visitor is nervous, the camera device adjusts the camera's shooting angle because the visitor's facial expression becomes stiff. The camera device can also adjust the camera's shooting angle to capture a natural expression if the visitor is relaxed. Furthermore, if the visitor is in a hurry, the camera device can also adjust the camera's shooting angle because the visitor's facial movements become faster. This enables the camera device to adjust the camera's shooting method according to the visitor's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. The generative AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI.

[0108] When taking a photograph, the camera device can improve the accuracy of the photograph by referring to past photographing data. For example, the camera device can improve the accuracy of the photograph by referring to data on visitors photographed in the past. The camera device can also improve the accuracy of the photograph by referring to data on visitors who have caused problems in the past. Furthermore, the camera device can improve the accuracy of the photograph by referring to data on visitors who have frequently visited in the past. In this way, the camera device improves the accuracy of the photograph based on the past photographing data. Past photographing data includes, for example, the date and time of the photograph, the location of the photograph, and the subject of the photograph, but is not limited to these examples.

[0109] The camera device can estimate the visitor's emotions and determine the priority of photographing based on the estimated visitor's emotions. For example, if the visitor is nervous, the camera device can prioritize photographing, giving the visitor a sense of security. Also, if the visitor is in a hurry, the camera device can quickly photograph the visitor and quickly confirm the purpose of their visit. Furthermore, if the visitor is relaxed, the camera device can take detailed photographs and carefully confirm the purpose of their visit. This allows the camera device to determine the priority of photographing according to the visitor's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI can be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0110] When capturing an image, the camera device can adjust the capturing method taking into account the geographical location information of the visitor. For example, if the visitor is a local resident, the camera device can adjust the capturing method taking into account facial features unique to the area. In addition, if the visitor comes from a distant location, the camera device can also adjust the capturing method taking into account facial features unique to the area. Furthermore, if the visitor comes from a specific area, the camera device can also adjust the capturing method taking into account facial features unique to the area. This allows the camera device to adjust the capturing method based on the geographical location information of the visitor. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data, address information, and the like.

[0111] The neighborhood association correspondence unit can estimate the emotions of neighborhood association members and adjust how they receive the circulars based on the estimated emotions of the neighborhood association members. For example, if a neighborhood association member is in a hurry, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can guide them on how to receive the circulars quickly. Furthermore, if a neighborhood association member is relaxed, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can guide them on how to receive the circulars with detailed instructions. Furthermore, if a neighborhood association member is nervous, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can guide them on how to receive the circulars with content that will give them a sense of security. This enables the neighborhood association correspondence unit to adjust how they receive the circulars based on the emotions of the neighborhood association members. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

[0112] When receiving a circular, the neighborhood association correspondence department can select the optimal receiving method by referring to the past circular history. For example, if the neighborhood association member has used the service frequently in the past, the neighborhood association correspondence department will guide them to a method that will allow them to receive their circular smoothly. In addition, if the neighborhood association member is using the service for the first time, the neighborhood association correspondence department can also guide them to a receiving method that includes detailed explanations. Furthermore, in the case of a neighborhood association member who has had problems in the past, the neighborhood association correspondence department can also guide them to a receiving method that requires caution. In this way, the neighborhood association correspondence department can select the optimal receiving method based on the past circular history. The circular history includes, for example, the circulation date and time, the person who circulated it, the circulation content, etc., but is not limited to these examples.

[0113] The neighborhood association correspondence unit can estimate the emotions of neighborhood association members and determine the priority of circular notices based on the estimated emotions of neighborhood association members. For example, if a neighborhood association member is in a hurry, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can guide the member on how to receive the circular notice with priority. Furthermore, if a neighborhood association member is relaxed, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can guide the member on how to receive a circular notice with detailed instructions. Furthermore, if a neighborhood association member is nervous, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can guide the member on how to receive a circular notice with content that will give them a sense of security. In this way, the neighborhood association correspondence unit can determine the priority of circular notices based on the emotions of neighborhood association members. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI.

[0114] When receiving a circular, the neighborhood association correspondence department can adjust the receiving method taking into account the neighborhood member's geographical location information.

[0115] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0116] The visitor response department can also estimate the visitor's health condition and adjust the response content based on the estimated health condition. For example, if the visitor is tired, the department can provide a short and concise response and quickly confirm the purpose of the visit. If the visitor is in good health, the department can provide a response with a detailed explanation and carefully confirm the purpose of the visit. Furthermore, if the visitor is feeling unwell, the department can respond with priority and provide the necessary support. This allows the visitor response department to respond appropriately according to the visitor's health condition.

[0117] The parcel receiving device can also adjust the receiving method based on the contents of the parcel. For example, if the parcel contains valuables, it can recommend a receiving method with strict security measures. If the parcel contains food, it can recommend a method for quicker receiving. Furthermore, if the parcel contains large items, it can instruct the user to place them in an appropriate location. In this way, the parcel receiving device can provide the optimal receiving method according to the contents of the parcel.

[0118] The alarm device can also adjust the type and volume of the alarm sound when sounding an alarm, taking into account the surrounding environmental sounds. For example, the alarm sound can be reduced in volume during quiet nighttime hours and increased in volume during noisy daytime hours. The alarm sound can also be softened if there are children nearby. Furthermore, the type of alarm sound can be changed depending on the surrounding environmental sounds. This allows the alarm device to provide an appropriate alarm according to the surrounding environment.

[0119] The camera device can also analyze the visitor's clothing and belongings to infer the purpose of the visit. For example, if the visitor is wearing a suit, it can be assumed that the visit is for business purposes and an appropriate response can be made. If the visitor is wearing a delivery person's uniform, it can be assumed that the visitor is there to receive a package and a prompt response can be made. Furthermore, if the visitor is carrying tools, it can be assumed that the visitor's purpose is repair or maintenance and appropriate guidance can be provided. In this way, the camera device can infer the purpose of the visit based on the visitor's clothing and belongings and take appropriate action.

[0120] The neighborhood association response department can also automatically select the next distribution destination based on the contents of the circular. For example, if the circular contains information related to a specific area, it will distribute it to neighborhood association members in that area first. Also, if the circular contains highly urgent information, it can quickly select the next distribution destination and move the circular. Furthermore, if the circular contains information related to a specific event, it can also distribute it to neighborhood association members who are planning to attend the event. This allows the neighborhood association response department to select the optimal distribution destination based on the contents of the circular and move the circular efficiently.

[0121] The visitor handling unit can also estimate the visitor's emotions and adjust the content of the response based on the estimated visitor's emotions. For example, if the visitor is nervous, the response can be adjusted to a calm voice and reassuring content. If the visitor is in a hurry, the response can be quick and concise, and the purpose of the visit can be quickly confirmed. Furthermore, if the visitor is relaxed, the response can include a detailed explanation and carefully confirm the purpose of the visit. This enables the visitor handling unit to respond appropriately according to the visitor's emotions.

[0122] The visitor handling department can also analyze the visitor's past visit history and select a response method. For example, if the visitor has visited frequently in the past, a friendly response can be provided and the purpose of the visit can be confirmed. If it is the visitor's first visit, a response including a detailed explanation can be provided and the purpose of the visit can be carefully confirmed. Furthermore, if the visitor has caused problems in the past, a cautious response can be provided and the purpose of the visit can be carefully confirmed. This allows the visitor handling department to select the optimal response based on the visitor's past visit history.

[0123] The visitor handling department can also adjust its response based on the visitor's current situation. For example, if a visitor arrives on a rainy day, it can check whether they have an umbrella and, if necessary, guide them to the location of an umbrella stand. If a visitor arrives at night, it can respond in a cheerful voice and confirm the purpose of their visit. Furthermore, if a visitor arrives on a hot day, it can guide them to a cooler place and confirm the purpose of their visit. This allows the visitor handling department to respond appropriately according to the visitor's situation.

[0124] The visitor handling unit can also estimate the visitor's emotions and prioritize responses based on the estimated visitor's emotions. For example, if the visitor is nervous, the response can be prioritized and tailored to provide a sense of security. If the visitor is in a hurry, the response can be quick and concise, and the purpose of the visit can be quickly confirmed. Furthermore, if the visitor is relaxed, the response can include a detailed explanation, and the purpose of the visit can be carefully confirmed. This allows the visitor handling unit to prioritize responses according to the visitor's emotions.

[0125] The visitor response unit can also prioritize relevant responses by taking into account the visitor's geographic location information. For example, if the visitor is a local resident, a friendly response can be provided to confirm the purpose of their visit. If the visitor is from a distant location, a response including a detailed explanation can be provided to carefully confirm the purpose of their visit. Furthermore, if the visitor is from a specific area, a response including information related to that area can be provided to confirm the purpose of their visit. This allows the visitor response unit to provide an appropriate response based on the visitor's geographic location information.

[0126] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0127] Step 1: The visitor reception department collects visitor information, including names, facial photographs, and audio data.

Step 2: The facial recognition unit analyzes the information collected by the visitor reception unit. The facial recognition unit analyzes and recognizes the visitor's face using image analysis algorithms and deep learning technology. Step 3: The voice recognition unit analyzes the voice collected by the visitor reception unit. The voice recognition unit analyzes and recognizes the visitor's voice using voice analysis technology and natural language processing technology. Step 4: The notification unit issues a notification based on the information obtained by the face recognition unit and the voice recognition unit. The notification unit issues a notification using a push notification to the smartphone, an email notification, an alert sound, or the like.

[0128] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0129] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). 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.

[0130] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0131] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0148] [Third embodiment] FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0149] 5, the data processing system 310 includes the data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0150] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.

[0151] The headset type terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0152] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0153] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0154] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0155] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0156] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0157] 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.

[0158] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. 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 a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 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 also perform processing similar to that of the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0159] 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.

[0160] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.

[0161] 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.

[0162] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0163] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0164] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0165] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0166] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

[0167] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0168] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0169] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0170] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0171] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0172] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0173] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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).

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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."

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.
