[0028] (Example of form 1) The pet health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides a meal plan optimized according to the individual health condition, age, and activity level of each dog. This system provides nutritionally balanced meals and is customized to address the specific needs of dogs, such as allergies, weight management, and specific health problems. Subscribers can select the best food for their dog through individual consultations with veterinarians and nutrition specialists and have it delivered to their home regularly. This service makes it easier for pet owners to maintain their pet's health. For example, owners input information such as their dog's health condition, age, and activity level. For example, if the dog has allergies, that information is also entered. This information is analyzed by AI, and an optimal meal plan for the dog is generated. Next, the generated meal plan is reviewed through individual consultations with veterinarians and nutrition specialists. The specialists provide further detailed advice based on the plan generated by the AI. For example, customizations such as adding special nutrients for dogs with specific health problems are made. Finally, food is delivered to the home regularly based on the customized meal plan. Owners receive the regularly delivered food and provide it to their dogs. This makes it easier for owners to maintain their dog's health. This service can continuously monitor a dog's health and update its diet plan as needed. For example, if a dog gains weight, the diet plan can be adjusted to manage its weight. Regular health checks also allow the service to understand the dog's health status and provide an optimal diet plan. In this way, by providing an optimal diet plan tailored to each dog's individual health condition and needs, owners can more easily maintain their pet's health. Thus, the pet health management system provides an optimal diet plan based on the dog's health condition, age, and activity level, making it easier for owners to maintain their pet's health.
[0029] The pet health management system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, an advice unit, and a delivery unit. The reception unit receives information from the owner regarding the dog's health status, age, and activity level. This information may include, but is not limited to, the dog's weight, body temperature, exercise level, and walking frequency. The reception unit, for example, stores the information entered by the owner in a database and transmits it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and generates a suitable meal plan for the dog. The analysis unit generates a nutritionally balanced meal plan based on, for example, the dog's health status, age, and activity level. The analysis unit can use AI to generate an optimal meal plan according to the dog's health status. For example, the analysis unit uses an AI model that takes data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and exercise level as input and outputs an optimal meal plan to generate a meal plan. The advice unit allows veterinarians and nutrition specialists to customize the meal plan based on the meal plan generated by the analysis unit. The advice unit can customize the plan for dogs with specific health problems, for example, by adding special nutrients. The advice unit allows veterinarians and nutrition specialists to provide more detailed advice based on the AI-generated meal plan. For example, the advice unit can customize the meal plan to exclude specific ingredients, taking into account the dog's allergy information. The delivery unit regularly delivers food based on the customized meal plan provided by the advice unit. For example, the delivery unit selects the necessary food based on the customized meal plan and delivers it regularly to the owner's home. The delivery unit can manage the food delivery schedule and notify the owner. For example, the delivery unit can notify the owner in advance of the food delivery date and prepare for delivery. This allows the pet health management system according to the embodiment to provide an optimal meal plan tailored to the dog's health condition, age, and activity level, making it easier for owners to maintain their pet's health.
[0030] The monitoring unit can continuously monitor the dog's health and update the feeding plan as needed. For example, the monitoring unit periodically collects data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and activity level to monitor its health. For instance, it periodically measures the dog's weight and records any changes in weight. It can also periodically measure the dog's body temperature and record any changes. Furthermore, it can measure the dog's activity level using sensors and record the amount of exercise and the frequency of walks. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the dog's activity level in real time using a sensor attached to the dog's collar. This allows the monitoring unit to continuously understand the dog's health and update the feeding plan as needed. For example, if the dog's weight increases, the monitoring unit adjusts the feeding plan to manage its weight. Also, if the dog's body temperature is abnormally high, the monitoring unit can adjust the feeding plan and take measures to improve its health. This allows the monitoring unit to continuously optimize the feeding plan according to the dog's health. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and activity level into the AI, which can then perform an analysis of the dog's health status.
[0031] The reception desk can analyze the owner's past input history and provide the optimal input interface. For example, the reception desk can store information previously entered by the owner in a database and analyze that data. For example, the reception desk can automatically display information that the owner has frequently entered in the past as a suggestion. The reception desk can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the owner has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest information to be used during specific time periods based on the owner's past input history. For example, the reception desk can prioritize displaying information related to a specific time period based on information the owner has entered during that time period in the past. This allows the reception desk to provide the optimal input interface based on past input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input past input history data into AI and have the AI suggest the optimal input interface.
[0032] The reception unit can dynamically change input fields based on the dog's current health status and activity level when receiving information. For example, the reception unit can collect data on the dog's health status and activity level in real time and dynamically change input fields based on that data. For example, if the dog's health status is deteriorating, the reception unit can prompt for the input of detailed health information. Also, if the dog's activity level is high, the reception unit can display additional input fields regarding exercise. Furthermore, if the dog is older, the reception unit can add input fields regarding specific health problems. For example, if the dog is older, the reception unit can add input fields regarding joint health. This allows the reception unit to provide input fields that are appropriate for the dog's health status and activity level. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the dog's health status and activity level data collected in real time into the AI and have the AI perform the dynamic changes to the input fields.
[0033] The reception desk can prioritize obtaining highly relevant information based on the owner's geographical location when information is received. For example, the reception desk can obtain the owner's geographical location using GPS data or location services. For example, if the owner lives in a specific area, the reception desk can prioritize obtaining health information related to that area. Also, if the owner is traveling, the reception desk can prioritize obtaining information based on the climate and environment of the travel destination. Furthermore, if the owner is planning to move, the reception desk can also prioritize obtaining information related to the new area. For example, the reception desk can obtain and provide health information related to the owner's new area in advance. This allows the reception desk to provide highly relevant information based on geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input geographical location data into AI and have the AI perform the acquisition of highly relevant information.
[0034] The reception desk can analyze the owner's social media activity and obtain relevant information upon receiving information. For example, the reception desk can analyze the owner's social media activity and obtain relevant information. For example, the reception desk can obtain information related to the dog's health condition based on information shared by the owner on social media. The reception desk can also refer to advice from experts that the owner follows on social media. Furthermore, the reception desk can obtain relevant health information based on information from groups the owner participates in on social media. For example, the reception desk can analyze information from pet care groups the owner participates in and provide relevant health information. In this way, the reception desk can provide relevant information based on social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input social media activity data into AI and have the AI perform the acquisition of relevant information.
[0035] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the dog's health condition during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit collects data on the dog's health condition and adjusts the level of detail of the analysis based on that data. For example, if the dog's health condition is deteriorating, the analysis unit will perform a detailed analysis. Conversely, if the dog's health condition is good, the analysis unit can perform a simplified analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can focus its analysis on specific health problems of the dog. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the importance of the health condition based on data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and activity level, and adjust the level of detail of the analysis. This allows the analysis unit to provide the optimal level of detail of the analysis according to the dog's health condition. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the dog's health condition data into AI and have the AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0036] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the dog's category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the dog's category (puppy, senior dog, specific breed, etc.). For example, in the case of a puppy, the analysis unit can apply an analysis algorithm related to growth. Also, in the case of a senior dog, the analysis unit can apply an analysis algorithm related to aging. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply analysis algorithms related to breed-specific health problems for specific breeds. For example, the analysis unit can perform an analysis on genetic health problems for a specific breed. This allows the analysis unit to provide the optimal analysis algorithm according to the dog's category. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input dog category data into AI and have the AI select an appropriate analysis algorithm.
[0037] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on when the dog's information was submitted. For example, the analysis unit can record the submission date of the dog's health information in a database and determine the priority of analysis based on that data. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analysis of dog health information that has been recently submitted. Conversely, the analysis unit can postpone analysis of dog health information that is old. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also prioritize the analysis of information submitted within a specific period if the information was submitted within that period. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analysis based on health information submitted within a specific period. This allows the analysis unit to provide an optimal analysis priority based on the information submission date. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input submission date data into AI and have the AI determine the analysis priority.
[0038] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the dogs during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit evaluates relevance based on data such as the dogs' health status and activity level, and adjusts the order of analysis. For example, if a dog's health status is poor, the analysis unit will prioritize the analysis. Conversely, if a dog's health status is good, the analysis unit can postpone the analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can focus the analysis on specific health problems of the dogs. For example, the analysis unit evaluates relevance based on data such as the dogs' weight, body temperature, and activity level, and adjusts the order of analysis. This allows the analysis unit to provide an optimal analysis order based on the dogs' relevance. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input relevance data into AI and have the AI perform the adjustment of the analysis order.

For example, the monitoring unit can perform monitoring related to genetic health problems for specific breeds. This allows the monitoring unit to provide the optimal monitoring algorithm according to the dog's category. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input dog category data into AI and have the AI select an appropriate monitoring algorithm.
[0049] The monitoring unit can adjust the monitoring order based on when the dog's information was submitted. For example, the monitoring unit can record the submission date of the dog's health information in a database and adjust the monitoring order based on that data. For example, the monitoring unit can prioritize monitoring if the dog's health information has been recently submitted. Conversely, the monitoring unit can postpone monitoring if the dog's health information is old. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can prioritize monitoring information submitted within a specific period if that period was observed. For example, the monitoring unit can prioritize monitoring based on health information submitted within a specific period. This allows the monitoring unit to provide an optimal monitoring order based on the information submission date. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

[0051] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0052] The reception desk can analyze the owner's past purchase history and propose the optimal meal plan. For example, the reception desk stores the types and frequency of food purchased by the owner in the past in a database and customizes the meal plan based on that data. The reception desk can also collect ratings of food purchased by the owner in the past and prioritize suggesting highly-rated foods. Furthermore, the reception desk can analyze the ingredient information of food purchased by the owner in the past and suggest foods that address allergies or specific health problems. This allows the reception desk to provide the optimal meal plan based on the owner's past purchase history.
[0053] The monitoring unit can analyze a dog's behavioral patterns and detect abnormal behavior. For example, it collects data such as a dog's walking patterns, food intake, and sleep duration, and compares them to normal behavioral patterns. It can also analyze the frequency of a dog's barking and movements to detect signs of stress or anxiety. Furthermore, it can detect sudden changes in a dog's activity level, enabling early detection of health abnormalities. In this way, the monitoring unit can detect abnormal behavior based on a dog's behavioral patterns and support early health management.
[0054] The reception desk can analyze the owner's past input history and provide optimal reminders. For example, based on information the owner has previously entered, the reception desk can remind owners about regular health checks and changes in their pet's diet. It can also automatically remind owners of information they tend to forget in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can provide reminders at the optimal time, tailored to the owner's schedule. This allows the reception desk to provide optimal reminders based on the owner's past input history.
[0055] The reception system can dynamically change input fields based on the dog's current health status and activity level when information is received. For example, if the dog's health is deteriorating, the reception system will prompt for detailed health information. If the dog's activity level is high, the reception system can display additional input fields regarding exercise. Furthermore, if the dog is older, the reception system can add input fields related to specific health problems. This allows the reception system to provide input fields tailored to the dog's health status and activity level.
[0056] The reception desk can prioritize retrieving highly relevant information based on the owner's geographical location when information is received. For example, if the owner lives in a specific area, the reception desk will prioritize retrieving health information related to that area. If the owner is traveling, the reception desk can prioritize retrieving information based on the climate and environment of their destination. Furthermore, if the owner is planning to move, the reception desk can prioritize retrieving information related to their new area. This allows the reception desk to provide highly relevant information based on geographical location.
[0057] The reception desk can analyze the owner's social media activity when receiving information and obtain relevant information. For example, the reception desk can obtain information related to the dog's health condition based on information shared by the owner on social media. The reception desk can also refer to advice from experts the owner follows on social media. Furthermore, the reception desk can obtain relevant health information based on information from groups the owner participates in on social media. This allows the reception desk to provide relevant information based on social media activity.
[0058] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the dog's health condition during the analysis. For example, if the dog's health condition is deteriorating, the analysis unit will perform a detailed analysis. Conversely, if the dog's health condition is good, the analysis unit can perform a simplified analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can focus its analysis on specific health problems in the dog. In this way, the analysis unit can provide the optimal level of detail of analysis according to the dog's health condition.
[0059] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0060] Step 1: The reception desk receives information from owners about their dog's health, age, and activity level. This information includes, for example, the dog's weight, body temperature, exercise level, and walking frequency. The reception desk stores the information entered by the owner in a database and sends it to the analysis department. Step 2: The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and generate a suitable meal plan for the dog. The analysis unit generates a nutritionally balanced meal plan based on the dog's health condition, age, and activity level. For example, it uses an AI model that takes data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and exercise level as input and outputs the optimal meal plan. Step 3: The advice department customizes the meal plan generated by the analysis department, with the help of veterinarians and nutrition specialists. For example, they may add special nutrients for dogs with specific health problems. The advice department also customizes the meal plan to exclude certain ingredients, taking into account the dog's allergy information. Step 4: The delivery department delivers food regularly based on the customized meal plan developed by the advisory department. The delivery department selects the necessary food based on the customized meal plan and delivers it regularly to the owner's home. The delivery department can manage the food delivery schedule and notify the owner.
[0061] (Example of form 2) The pet health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides a meal plan optimized according to the individual health condition, age, and activity level of each dog. This system provides nutritionally balanced meals and is customized to address the specific needs of dogs, such as allergies, weight management, and specific health problems. Subscribers can select the best food for their dog through individual consultations with veterinarians and nutrition specialists and have it delivered to their home regularly. This service makes it easier for pet owners to maintain their pet's health. For example, owners input information such as their dog's health condition, age, and activity level. For example, if the dog has allergies, that information is also entered. This information is analyzed by AI, and an optimal meal plan for the dog is generated. Next, the generated meal plan is reviewed through individual consultations with veterinarians and nutrition specialists. The specialists provide further detailed advice based on the plan generated by the AI. For example, customizations such as adding special nutrients for dogs with specific health problems are made. Finally, food is delivered to the home regularly based on the customized meal plan. Owners receive the regularly delivered food and provide it to their dogs. This makes it easier for owners to maintain their dog's health. This service can continuously monitor a dog's health and update its diet plan as needed. For example, if a dog gains weight, the diet plan can be adjusted to manage its weight. Regular health checks also allow the service to understand the dog's health status and provide an optimal diet plan. In this way, by providing an optimal diet plan tailored to each dog's individual health condition and needs, owners can more easily maintain their pet's health. Thus, the pet health management system provides an optimal diet plan based on the dog's health condition, age, and activity level, making it easier for owners to maintain their pet's health.
[0062] The pet health management system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, an advice unit, and a delivery unit. The reception unit receives information from the owner regarding the dog's health status, age, and activity level. This information may include, but is not limited to, the dog's weight, body temperature, exercise level, and walking frequency. The reception unit, for example, stores the information entered by the owner in a database and transmits it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and generates a suitable meal plan for the dog. The analysis unit generates a nutritionally balanced meal plan based on, for example, the dog's health status, age, and activity level. The analysis unit can use AI to generate an optimal meal plan according to the dog's health status. For example, the analysis unit uses an AI model that takes data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and exercise level as input and outputs an optimal meal plan to generate a meal plan. The advice unit allows veterinarians and nutrition specialists to customize the meal plan based on the meal plan generated by the analysis unit. The advice unit can customize the plan for dogs with specific health problems, for example, by adding special nutrients. The advice unit allows veterinarians and nutrition specialists to provide more detailed advice based on the AI-generated meal plan. For example, the advice unit can customize the meal plan to exclude specific ingredients, taking into account the dog's allergy information. The delivery unit regularly delivers food based on the customized meal plan provided by the advice unit. For example, the delivery unit selects the necessary food based on the customized meal plan and delivers it regularly to the owner's home. The delivery unit can manage the food delivery schedule and notify the owner. For example, the delivery unit can notify the owner in advance of the food delivery date and prepare for delivery.

[0063] The monitoring unit can continuously monitor the dog's health and update the feeding plan as needed. For example, the monitoring unit periodically collects data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and activity level to monitor its health. For instance, it periodically measures the dog's weight and records any changes in weight. It can also periodically measure the dog's body temperature and record any changes. Furthermore, it can measure the dog's activity level using sensors and record the amount of exercise and the frequency of walks. For example, the monitoring unit can monitor the dog's activity level in real time using a sensor attached to the dog's collar. This allows the monitoring unit to continuously understand the dog's health and update the feeding plan as needed. For example, if the dog's weight increases, the monitoring unit adjusts the feeding plan to manage its weight. Also, if the dog's body temperature is abnormally high, the monitoring unit can adjust the feeding plan and take measures to improve its health. This allows the monitoring unit to continuously optimize the feeding plan according to the dog's health. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input data such as the dog's weight, body temperature, and activity level into the AI, which can then perform an analysis of the dog's health status.
[0064] The reception unit can estimate the owner's emotions and adjust the information input method based on the estimated emotions. For example, the reception unit can capture the owner's facial expressions with a camera and estimate emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the reception unit can calculate an emotion score based on changes in facial expressions and adjust the input method. The reception unit can also record the owner's voice and estimate emotions using voice analysis technology. For example, the reception unit can analyze the tone and speed of the voice, calculate an emotion score, and adjust the input method. The reception unit can also collect the owner's biometric data (heart rate and skin electrical activity) with sensors and estimate emotions using an emotion estimation algorithm. For example, the reception unit can calculate an emotion score based on fluctuations in heart rate and adjust the input method. This allows the reception unit to provide the optimal information input method according to the owner's emotions. For example, if the owner is stressed, the reception unit can provide a simple interface and minimize the input procedure. Furthermore, if the owner is relaxed, the reception desk can provide detailed input options and suggest customizable input methods. If the owner is in a hurry, the reception desk can prioritize voice input to allow for quick information entry. Emotion estimation is achieved using emotion estimation functions, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input image data of the owner captured by a camera into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation of the owner.

[0143] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0144] As shown in Figure 7, the 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.

[0151] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0152] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30.

[0154] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50.

[0157] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT.

In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0159] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0160] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting 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 a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0161] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0162] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0163] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0164] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0165] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is 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 the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0166] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0167] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0168] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0169] 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.
[0170] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety 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 the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0171] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0172] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of 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). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0173] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0174] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0175] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
