[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.
[0025] 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.

Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes photos of a room provided by a user and automatically identifies the type and quantity of luggage. The system begins by having the user provide a photo of the room and input it into the system. Next, the system uses AI to analyze the photo and identify the type and quantity of luggage. For example, the system identifies the types of furniture, appliances, clothing, and the quantities of each. Next, the system generates a room layout diagram based on the identified information. The layout diagram includes the layout of the luggage and the dimensions of the room. This allows users to grasp the overall picture of the room and facilitates work planning. The system then automatically provides an estimate. The estimate takes into account factors such as waste disposal costs and work difficulty. For example, if large furniture needs to be dismantled and transported, the estimate reflects the difficulty of the work. Furthermore, the system presents the reasons for the estimate, making it easier for users to understand the breakdown of the estimate. For example, it explains how the amount of waste and work difficulty affect the estimate. Finally, the system centralizes comparative estimates from multiple contractors. This allows users to easily compare estimates from multiple contractors. For example, users can see each contractor's estimated price and service details at a glance. This system allows users to easily obtain estimates for room cleaning and moving, improving transparency and convenience. The system analyzes photos of the room provided by the user, identifies the type and amount of luggage, generates a layout diagram, provides an estimate, explains the reasons for the estimate, and centralizes comparative estimates from multiple companies, improving transparency and convenience.
[0029] The system according to the embodiment includes an analysis unit, a generation unit, an estimation unit, a presentation unit, and a comparison unit. The analysis unit analyzes a photo of a room provided by a user and identifies the type and amount of luggage. For example, the analysis unit uses an image recognition algorithm to identify objects in the photo and determine the type and amount of each object. The analysis unit can also use a machine learning model to classify objects in the photo and identify the type and amount of luggage. For example, the analysis unit identifies types of furniture, home appliances, clothing, etc., and calculates the amount of each. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of identifying the type and amount of luggage by referring to past analysis data. The generation unit generates a room layout diagram based on the information identified by the analysis unit. The generation unit automatically generates the layout diagram based on, for example, the dimensions of the room and the arrangement of the luggage. The generation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the layout diagram based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, a simple layout diagram is displayed, and if the user is relaxed, a detailed layout diagram is displayed. The estimation unit provides an estimate based on the layout diagram generated by the generation unit. The estimating unit, for example, applies different estimation algorithms for each type of luggage to provide an accurate estimate. The estimating unit can also refer to past estimation data to improve the accuracy of the estimate. The presentation unit presents the reasons for the estimate provided by the estimating unit. For example, the presentation unit can provide a convincing reason for the estimate by explaining in detail the different reasons for each type of luggage. The presentation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the reasons for the estimate based on the estimated user emotions. The comparison unit unifies comparative estimates from multiple providers. For example, the comparison unit selects an optimal comparison method taking into account the characteristics of each provider to provide comparison results that are easy for the user to understand. The comparison unit can also refer to past comparison data to improve the accuracy of the comparison results. As a result, the system according to the embodiment analyzes photos of the room provided by the user, identifies the type and quantity of luggage, generates a layout diagram, provides an estimate, presents the reasons for the estimate, and unifies comparative estimates from multiple providers, thereby improving transparency and convenience.
[0030] When analyzing a photo of a room, the analysis unit can apply filtering technology to remove the effects of reflected light and shadows. For example, the analysis unit can apply a filter to remove reflected light to the photo of the room to accurately identify the type and quantity of luggage. Furthermore, if a shadow is cast on the photo of the room, the analysis unit can apply a filter to remove the shadow to accurately identify the shape of the luggage. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply a composite filter to the photo of the room to remove both reflected light and shadows to improve the accuracy of the analysis. This allows the effects of reflected light and shadows to be removed, thereby accurately identifying the type and quantity of luggage. The filtering technology is implemented, for example, using an image processing algorithm. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input photo data of the room into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform a filtering process to remove the effects of reflected light and shadows.

Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze multiple photos used to measure room dimensions to improve accuracy. This allows for automatic measurement of room dimensions to generate an accurate layout drawing. The technology for automatically measuring room dimensions can be realized using, for example, laser measurement or image analysis technology.

In this way, by learning from past data, it is possible to propose an optimal furniture arrangement pattern. The optimization of the furniture arrangement pattern is realized, for example, using a machine learning algorithm. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input past layout data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to optimize the furniture arrangement pattern.

For example, the generation unit generates a layout diagram that centers around furniture frequently used by the user. The generation unit can also generate a layout diagram that takes into account traffic lines to suit the user's lifestyle. Furthermore, the generation unit can generate a layout diagram that optimizes storage space based on the user's lifestyle. This allows for proposing an optimal layout based on the user's lifestyle, thereby providing a layout diagram that is easy for the user to use. The lifestyle is taken into consideration based on, for example, family composition and living habits. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input the user's lifestyle data into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the optimal layout proposal.
[0037] When generating a layout diagram, the generation unit can select the optimal display method based on the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the generation unit displays a layout diagram that matches the screen size. Furthermore, if the user is using a tablet, the generation unit can display a layout diagram optimized for a large screen. Furthermore, if the user is using a personal computer, the generation unit can display a high-resolution layout diagram. This allows the optimal display method to be selected by taking the user's device information into consideration. The device information is taken into consideration based on, for example, the device's screen size and resolution. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit can input the user's device information into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal display method.

For example, the estimation unit provides an estimate under similar conditions based on past estimation data. The estimation unit can also analyze past estimation data to improve the accuracy of the estimate. Furthermore, the estimation unit can also refer to past estimation data to optimize an estimate for specific conditions. In this way, the accuracy of the estimate is improved by referring to past estimation data. The past estimation data is stored, for example, in a database, and the estimation unit utilizes the past data by referring to this database. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the estimation unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the estimation unit can input past estimation data into a generation AI and have the generation AI improve the accuracy of the estimate.
[0039] When providing an estimate, the estimating unit can apply a different estimating algorithm to each type of luggage. For example, the estimating unit can apply an algorithm that takes into account the difficulty of dismantling and transportation to estimate furniture. The estimating unit can also apply an algorithm that takes into account the difficulty of installation and removal to estimate home appliances. Furthermore, the estimating unit can also apply an algorithm that takes into account the difficulty of packing and transportation to estimate clothing. In this way, by applying a different estimating algorithm to each type of luggage, accurate estimates can be provided. The estimating algorithm is realized, for example, using a machine learning algorithm. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the estimating unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the estimating unit can input a different estimating algorithm for each type of luggage into the generating AI and have the generating AI perform the calculation of the estimate.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0051] The analysis unit can adjust the analysis algorithm based on the resolution of the photo provided by the user. For example, for low-resolution photos, the analysis unit can apply a simplified algorithm to quickly provide analysis results. For high-resolution photos, the analysis unit can apply a detailed analysis algorithm to provide highly accurate analysis results. Furthermore, for photos with medium resolution, a balanced analysis algorithm can be applied. This allows the analysis algorithm to be adjusted according to the resolution of the photo, thereby providing optimal analysis results. The adjustment of the analysis algorithm is achieved using, for example, image processing technology or a machine learning algorithm. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input photo resolution data into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the analysis algorithm.
[0052] The generation unit can adjust the generation of the layout diagram based on the shooting date and time of the photo provided by the user. For example, for photos taken during the day, a layout diagram taking natural light into consideration can be generated. Also, for photos taken at night, a layout diagram taking artificial lighting into consideration can be generated. Furthermore, a layout diagram that reflects a seasonal feel can be generated based on the shooting date and time of each season. In this way, by adjusting the generation of the layout diagram according to the shooting date and time of the photo, a more realistic layout diagram can be provided. The shooting date and time can be taken into consideration using, for example, photo metadata. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI. For example, the generation unit can input the shooting date and time data of the photo to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate the layout diagram.
[0053] The estimating unit can adjust the range of the estimate based on the location of the photo provided by the user. For example, for a photo taken in an urban area, an estimate that takes city-specific costs into account can be provided. For a photo taken in a suburban area, an estimate that takes suburban-specific costs into account can be provided. Furthermore, for a photo taken in a resort area, an estimate that takes resort-specific costs into account can be provided. This allows for adjusting the range of the estimate depending on the location of the photo, making it possible to provide a more accurate estimate. The consideration of the shooting location is achieved, for example, using metadata or GPS data of the photo. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the estimating unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the estimating unit can input photo shooting location data into the generating AI and cause the generating AI to adjust the range of the estimate.
[0054] The presentation unit can adjust the level of detail of the estimate reason based on the content of the photo provided by the user. For example, if a photo shows a lot of furniture, a detailed estimate reason can be provided. Furthermore, if a photo shows a small amount of luggage, a simplified estimate reason can be provided. Furthermore, if a photo shows a special type of luggage, an estimate reason specific to that luggage can be provided. By adjusting the level of detail of the estimate reason according to the content of the photo, it is possible to provide an estimate reason that is easy for the user to understand. Consideration of the content of the photo can be achieved, for example, using image recognition technology or a machine learning algorithm. Some or all of the above-described processing in the presentation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the presentation unit can input content data of the photo into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the estimate reason.
[0055] The comparison unit can adjust the display method of the comparison results based on the shooting angle of the photo provided by the user. For example, for a photo taken with a wide angle, the comparison results can be displayed with an emphasis on the overall image. For a photo taken with a close-up, the comparison results can be displayed with an emphasis on the details. Furthermore, for a photo taken from an oblique angle, the comparison results can be displayed with a consideration of the three-dimensional effect. By adjusting the display method of the comparison results according to the shooting angle of the photo, it is possible to provide comparison results that are easy for the user to view. The shooting angle can be taken into consideration using, for example, photo metadata or image analysis technology. Some or all of the above-described processing in the comparison unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the comparison unit can input the shooting angle data of the photo to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the display method of the comparison results.
[0056] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0057] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes photos of the room provided by the user and identifies the type and quantity of luggage. Using image recognition algorithms and machine learning models, the analysis unit identifies objects in the photos and determines the type and quantity of each object. For example, it identifies the type of furniture, home appliances, clothing, etc., and calculates the quantity of each. It can also refer to past analysis data to improve the accuracy of identifying the type and quantity of luggage. Step 2: The generation unit generates a room layout diagram based on the information identified by the analysis unit. The generation unit automatically generates a layout diagram based on the room dimensions and the placement of luggage. It can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the layout diagram is displayed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a simple layout diagram is displayed, and if the user is relaxed, a detailed layout diagram is displayed. Step 3: The Estimation Unit provides an estimate based on the layout diagram generated by the Generation Unit. The Estimation Unit applies different estimation algorithms to each type of cargo to provide an accurate estimate. It can also refer to past estimation data to improve the accuracy of the estimate.

[0058] (Example 2) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes photos of a room provided by a user and automatically identifies the type and quantity of luggage. The system begins by having the user provide a photo of the room and input it into the system. Next, the system uses AI to analyze the photo and identify the type and quantity of luggage. For example, the system identifies the types of furniture, appliances, clothing, and the quantities of each. Next, the system generates a room layout diagram based on the identified information. The layout diagram includes the layout of the luggage and the dimensions of the room. This allows users to grasp the overall picture of the room and facilitates work planning. The system then automatically provides an estimate. The estimate takes into account factors such as waste disposal costs and work difficulty. For example, if large furniture needs to be dismantled and transported, the estimate reflects the difficulty of the work. Furthermore, the system presents the reasons for the estimate, making it easier for users to understand the breakdown of the estimate. For example, it explains how the amount of waste and work difficulty affect the estimate. Finally, the system centralizes comparative estimates from multiple contractors. This allows users to easily compare estimates from multiple contractors. For example, users can see each contractor's estimated price and service details at a glance. This system allows users to easily obtain estimates for room cleaning and moving, improving transparency and convenience. The system analyzes photos of the room provided by the user, identifies the type and amount of luggage, generates a layout diagram, provides an estimate, explains the reasons for the estimate, and centralizes comparative estimates from multiple companies, improving transparency and convenience.
[0059] The system according to the embodiment includes an analysis unit, a generation unit, an estimation unit, a presentation unit, and a comparison unit. The analysis unit analyzes a photo of a room provided by a user and identifies the type and amount of luggage. For example, the analysis unit uses an image recognition algorithm to identify objects in the photo and determine the type and amount of each object. The analysis unit can also use a machine learning model to classify objects in the photo and identify the type and amount of luggage. For example, the analysis unit identifies types of furniture, home appliances, clothing, etc., and calculates the amount of each. The analysis unit can also improve the accuracy of identifying the type and amount of luggage by referring to past analysis data. The generation unit generates a room layout diagram based on the information identified by the analysis unit. The generation unit automatically generates the layout diagram based on, for example, the dimensions of the room and the arrangement of the luggage. The generation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the layout diagram based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, a simple layout diagram is displayed, and if the user is relaxed, a detailed layout diagram is displayed. The estimation unit provides an estimate based on the layout diagram generated by the generation unit. The estimating unit, for example, applies different estimation algorithms for each type of luggage to provide an accurate estimate. The estimating unit can also refer to past estimation data to improve the accuracy of the estimate. The presentation unit presents the reasons for the estimate provided by the estimating unit. For example, the presentation unit can provide a convincing reason for the estimate by explaining in detail the different reasons for each type of luggage. The presentation unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the reasons for the estimate based on the estimated user emotions. The comparison unit unifies comparative estimates from multiple providers. For example, the comparison unit selects an optimal comparison method taking into account the characteristics of each provider to provide comparison results that are easy for the user to understand. The comparison unit can also refer to past comparison data to improve the accuracy of the comparison results. As a result, the system according to the embodiment analyzes photos of the room provided by the user, identifies the type and quantity of luggage, generates a layout diagram, provides an estimate, presents the reasons for the estimate, and unifies comparative estimates from multiple providers, thereby improving transparency and convenience.
[0060] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of photo analysis based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the analysis unit can quickly perform photo analysis and provide results quickly. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can slowly perform photo analysis and provide detailed analysis results. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can immediately start photo analysis and provide results in the shortest time possible. This allows the timing of photo analysis to be adjusted according to the user's emotions, reducing the user's stress and enabling analysis at an appropriate time. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI.

Furthermore, if a shadow is cast on the photo of the room, the analysis unit can apply a filter to remove the shadow to accurately identify the shape of the luggage. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply a composite filter to the photo of the room to remove both reflected light and shadows to improve the accuracy of the analysis. This allows the effects of reflected light and shadows to be removed, thereby accurately identifying the type and quantity of luggage. The filtering technology is implemented, for example, using an image processing algorithm. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input photo data of the room into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform a filtering process to remove the effects of reflected light and shadows.

[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.

[0147] 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.

The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0151] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0152] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0153] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data).

[0154] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0156] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0157] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0158] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0159] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0160] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0161] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0162] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0163] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0164] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0165] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0166] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0167] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0168] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0169] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0170] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0171] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
[0172] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
