[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] 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 (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44.

[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.

Note that the smart device 14 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 specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. 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) The teaching plan creation assistance system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to assist teachers in creating individual teaching plans, thereby reducing the burden on them. Using this system, teachers can delegate some of the task of creating teaching plans to the generation AI, thereby reducing the burden on teachers. First, teachers input basic information about the teaching plan, such as the target student's grade, learning goals, and any special support needs. This information is then input into the generation AI. The generation AI then analyzes the input information and creates a draft teaching plan. The generation AI then proposes an optimal teaching plan based on past teaching plan data and best practices in educational instruction. For example, the generation AI suggests what teaching methods would be effective for a specific grade or learning goals. The generated draft teaching plan is then reviewed by teachers and revised as necessary. Based on the teaching plan proposed by the generation AI, teachers then adjust the specific teaching content and schedule. This reduces the burden on teachers and allows them to create teaching plans more efficiently. This system allows teachers to leave part of the lesson plan creation to the generative AI, thereby reducing the burden on teachers. Furthermore, because the generative AI proposes lesson plans based on past data and best practices, the quality of the lesson plans is also improved. For example, by proposing effective teaching methods for specific grade levels and learning goals, it is expected that student learning outcomes will improve. This allows the lesson plan creation assistance system to reduce the burden on teachers and create lesson plans efficiently.

[0029] The teaching plan creation assistance system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a generation unit, and a confirmation unit. The reception unit receives basic information about a teaching plan from a teacher. The basic information includes, but is not limited to, the grade level and learning goals of the target students and any special support needs of the students. The reception unit stores the basic information received from the teacher in a database and provides it to the generation unit. The reception unit can also analyze the received basic information and provide it to the generation unit in an appropriate format. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the basic information provided by the reception unit and create a draft teaching plan. The generation AI proposes an optimal teaching plan based on, for example, past teaching plan data and best practices in educational instruction. The generation AI can propose effective teaching methods for, for example, specific grade levels and learning goals. The generation unit provides the draft teaching plan proposed by the generation AI to the confirmation unit.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the student's home environment data into AI, which can then customize appropriate input items.

[0036] The reception unit can analyze the social media activities of faculty and staff members when entering basic information and automatically complete the relevant information. For example, the reception unit can automatically complete relevant educational information from the faculty and staff members' social media posts. The reception unit can also analyze the social media activities of faculty and staff members and automatically enter information about specific students. Furthermore, the reception unit can automatically complete information based on the faculty and staff members' past teaching experience from the faculty and staff members' social media activities. This allows the basic information to be entered efficiently by utilizing the social media activities of faculty and staff members. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the faculty and staff members' social media data into AI, which can then automatically complete the relevant information.

[0037] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the lesson plan based on the student's individual learning style during generation. For example, if the student is a visual learner, the generation unit can generate a lesson plan that makes extensive use of diagrams and illustrations. Furthermore, if the student is an auditory learner, the generation unit can also generate a lesson plan that emphasizes audio and listening activities. Furthermore, if the student is an experiential learner, the generation unit can also generate a lesson plan that includes many practical activities. This allows for the generation of an optimal lesson plan according to the student's learning style. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the student's learning style data into the generation AI, which then generates an optimal lesson plan.

[0038] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms based on specific educational tasks during generation. For example, when generating a lesson plan for improving reading comprehension, the generation unit can apply an algorithm specialized for improving reading comprehension. Furthermore, when generating a lesson plan for improving mathematical problem-solving skills, the generation unit can also apply an algorithm specialized for mathematics. Furthermore, when generating a lesson plan for promoting social development, the generation unit can also apply an algorithm specialized for social development.

Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can select an optimal generation algorithm based on a specific educational task and generate a lesson plan.

[0039] During generation, the generation unit can determine the generation priority based on past successful examples of lesson plans. For example, the generation unit preferentially generates lesson plans under similar conditions based on past successful lesson plans. The generation unit can also preferentially generate effective lesson plans for a specific grade or learning goal from past successful examples.

For example, the generation unit can input past lesson plan data into the generation AI, which then generates a lesson plan based on the successful examples.

[0040] The generation unit can adjust the order of generation based on the relevance of the lesson plans during generation. For example, the generation unit analyzes the relevance of the lesson plans and generates the most relevant plan preferentially. The generation unit can also adjust the order of generation based on the relevance of the lesson plans. Furthermore, the generation unit can determine the optimal generation order taking into account the relevance of the lesson plans.

[0048] The reviewing department can collect and share feedback from other faculty and staff when faculty and staff review draft lesson plans. For example, it can incorporate the opinions of faculty and staff in charge of the same grade or learning objectives. The reviewing department can also allow faculty and staff to add comments to draft lesson plans and share them with other faculty and staff. Furthermore, when faculty and staff revise draft lesson plans, the reviewing department can also refer to the revision history of other faculty and staff. This can promote cooperation between faculty and staff and improve the quality of lesson plans.

[0049] When drafting a lesson plan, the generation unit can customize the teaching method based on the individual learning style of the student. For example, if the student is a visual learner, the generation unit can suggest a teaching method that makes extensive use of diagrams and illustrations. If the student is an auditory learner, the generation unit can suggest a teaching method that emphasizes audio and listening activities. Furthermore, if the student is an experiential learner, the generation unit can suggest a teaching method that includes many hands-on activities. This makes it possible to provide the optimal teaching method according to the student's learning style.

[0050] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms based on specific educational tasks when drafting a lesson plan. For example, when generating a lesson plan for improving reading comprehension, an algorithm specialized for improving reading comprehension can be applied. The generation unit can also apply an algorithm specialized for mathematics when generating a lesson plan for improving mathematical problem-solving skills. Furthermore, the generation unit can also apply an algorithm specialized for social development when generating a lesson plan for promoting social development. This makes it possible to generate an optimal lesson plan for a specific educational task.

[0051] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0052] Step 1: The reception unit receives the basic information about the lesson plan from the faculty member. The basic information input by the faculty member includes, for example, the grade level of the target students, learning goals, and any special support needs. The reception unit stores the basic information input by the faculty member in a database and provides it to the generation unit. The reception unit can also analyze the input basic information and provide it to the generation unit in an appropriate format. Step 2: The Generation Unit uses the Generation AI to analyze the basic information provided by the Reception Unit and create a draft lesson plan. The Generation AI proposes an optimal lesson plan based on past lesson plan data and best practices in educational instruction. The Generation Unit provides the draft lesson plan proposed by the Generation AI to the Confirmation Unit. Step 3: The verification department allows faculty and staff to review the draft lesson plan proposed by the AI ​​and revise it as necessary. Based on the lesson plan proposed by the AI, faculty and staff can adjust the specific lesson content and schedule.

[0053] (Example 2) The teaching plan creation assistance system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a generation AI to assist teachers in creating individual teaching plans, thereby reducing the burden on them. Using this system, teachers can delegate some of the task of creating teaching plans to the generation AI, thereby reducing the burden on teachers. First, teachers input basic information about the teaching plan, such as the target student's grade, learning goals, and any special support needs. This information is then input into the generation AI. The generation AI then analyzes the input information and creates a draft teaching plan. The generation AI then proposes an optimal teaching plan based on past teaching plan data and best practices in educational instruction. For example, the generation AI suggests what teaching methods would be effective for a specific grade or learning goals. The generated draft teaching plan is then reviewed by teachers and revised as necessary. Based on the teaching plan proposed by the generation AI, teachers then adjust the specific teaching content and schedule. This reduces the burden on teachers and allows them to create teaching plans more efficiently. This system allows teachers to leave part of the lesson plan creation to the generative AI, thereby reducing the burden on teachers. Furthermore, because the generative AI proposes lesson plans based on past data and best practices, the quality of the lesson plans is also improved. For example, by proposing effective teaching methods for specific grade levels and learning goals, it is expected that student learning outcomes will improve. This allows the lesson plan creation assistance system to reduce the burden on teachers and create lesson plans efficiently.

[0140] 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.

[0141] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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."

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.
