Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The household finance management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a household budgeting function as an entry point and supports three categories: saving, increasing, and enjoying. In this household finance management system, the user inputs income and expense information into the household budget, a generating AI analyzes that information and provides advice for saving, further recommends investments, and makes suggestions for "enjoying" the returns obtained. Conventional apps did not have a "enjoying" category, but the present invention also focuses on the part of returning the returns obtained from saving and investing. First, the user inputs income and expense information into the household budget. For example, the user inputs details of income and expenses. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the input information and provides advice for saving. For example, it suggests ways to reduce unnecessary expenses and efficient saving methods. This allows the user to save effectively. Furthermore, the generating AI also makes recommendations for investments. For example, it suggests appropriate investment destinations based on the user's income and expense information. This allows the user to make effective investments to increase their income. Finally, it makes suggestions for "enjoying" the returns obtained. For example, it suggests how to spend money that can be used for travel or hobbies. This allows users to effectively utilize the returns they earn from saving and investing. This system enables users to efficiently manage their household finances and provides balanced support across three categories: saving, increasing wealth, and enjoying life. Thus, the household finance management system can provide balanced support across these three categories based on the user's income and expenditure information.
[0029] The household finance management system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a saving unit, an investment unit, and an entertainment unit. The reception unit allows the user to input income and expense information. This information includes, but is not limited to, details of income and expenses.

For example, the Generative AI analyzes the user's income and expenditure information and suggests investment targets that minimize risk. The Generative AI can also suggest the optimal investment strategy based on the user's investment goals. Furthermore, the Generative AI can analyze the user's past investment history and suggest the optimal investment targets. For example, the Generative AI suggests specific investment targets that minimize risk based on the user's past investment history. The Enjoyment Department uses the Generative AI to make suggestions for "enjoying" the returns obtained by the Investment Department. Suggestions for enjoyment include, but are not limited to, how to spend money on travel or hobbies. For example, the Generative AI analyzes the user's income and expenditure information and suggests ways to enjoy oneself within a budget.Furthermore, the generating AI can suggest the most suitable ways to enjoy oneself based on the user's hobbies and interests. In addition, the generating AI can suggest region-specific ways to enjoy oneself, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the generating AI is in a specific region, it will suggest ways to enjoy oneself that are unique to that region. This allows the household management system according to this embodiment to provide balanced support across three categories—saving, investing, and enjoying oneself—based on the user's income and expenditure information.

[0054] (Example of form 2) The household finance management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a household budgeting function as an entry point and supports three categories: saving, increasing, and enjoying. In this household finance management system, the user inputs income and expense information into the household budget, a generating AI analyzes that information and provides advice for saving, further recommends investments, and makes suggestions for "enjoying" the returns obtained. Conventional apps did not have a "enjoying" category, but the present invention also focuses on the part of returning the returns obtained from saving and investing. First, the user inputs income and expense information into the household budget. For example, the user inputs details of income and expenses. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the input information and provides advice for saving. For example, it suggests ways to reduce unnecessary expenses and efficient saving methods. This allows the user to save effectively. Furthermore, the generating AI also makes recommendations for investments. For example, it suggests appropriate investment destinations based on the user's income and expense information. This allows the user to make effective investments to increase their income. Finally, it makes suggestions for "enjoying" the returns obtained. For example, it suggests how to spend money that can be used for travel or hobbies. This allows users to effectively utilize the returns they earn from saving and investing. This system enables users to efficiently manage their household finances and provides balanced support across three categories: saving, increasing wealth, and enjoying life. Thus, the household finance management system can provide balanced support across these three categories based on the user's income and expenditure information.
[0055] The household finance management system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a saving unit, an investment unit, and an entertainment unit. The reception unit allows the user to input income and expense information. This information includes, but is not limited to, details of income and expenses. The reception unit allows, for example, the user to manually input income and expense information. The reception unit can also automatically acquire bank account and credit card information and input it as income and expense information. Furthermore, the reception unit can input income and expense information using voice input or image recognition technology. For example, the user can take a picture of a receipt, and the image can be analyzed to automatically input income and expense information. The saving unit uses a generating AI to provide saving advice based on the income and expense information input by the reception unit. This saving advice includes, but is not limited to, methods for reducing unnecessary spending and efficient saving methods. For example, the generating AI can analyze the user's spending patterns, identify unnecessary spending, and suggest ways to reduce it. The generating AI can also suggest efficient saving methods based on the user's lifestyle. Furthermore, the generating AI can provide a specific action plan for saving based on the user's income and expense information. For example, the Generative AI suggests specific ways for users to reduce certain spending items. The Investment Department uses the Generative AI to make investment recommendations based on the advice provided by the Savings Department. Investment recommendations include, but are not limited to, suggesting appropriate investment targets and setting investment amounts. For example, the Generative AI analyzes the user's income and expenditure information and suggests investment targets that minimize risk. The Generative AI can also suggest the optimal investment strategy based on the user's investment goals. Furthermore, the Generative AI can analyze the user's past investment history and suggest the optimal investment targets. For example, the Generative AI suggests specific investment targets that minimize risk based on the user's past investment history. The Enjoyment Department uses the Generative AI to make suggestions for "enjoying" the returns obtained by the Investment Department. Suggestions for enjoyment include, but are not limited to, how to spend money on travel or hobbies. For example, the Generative AI analyzes the user's income and expenditure information and suggests ways to enjoy oneself within a budget.Furthermore, the generating AI can suggest the most suitable ways to enjoy oneself based on the user's hobbies and interests. In addition, the generating AI can suggest region-specific ways to enjoy oneself, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the generating AI is in a specific region, it will suggest ways to enjoy oneself that are unique to that region. This allows the household management system according to this embodiment to provide balanced support across three categories—saving, investing, and enjoying oneself—based on the user's income and expenditure information.
[0056] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of inputting financial information based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception desk may postpone inputting financial information and prompt the user to input it when they are relaxed. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the reception desk may actively encourage inputting financial information and prompt the user to enter detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception desk may provide a simplified input form to allow for quick input of financial information. This allows for inputting financial information at a more appropriate time by adjusting the timing of input according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using 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.

[0092] Step 1: The reception desk receives the user's income and expense information. This information includes details of income and expenses. The reception desk allows users to manually enter this information, or it can automatically retrieve bank account and credit card information and input it as income and expense information. It is also possible to input income and expense information using voice input or image recognition technology. For example, a user can take a picture of a receipt, and the system can analyze the image to automatically input the income and expense information. Step 2: The savings department uses a generating AI to provide savings advice based on the income and expense information entered by the reception department. This advice includes ways to reduce unnecessary spending and efficient saving methods. The generating AI analyzes the user's spending patterns, identifies unnecessary spending, and suggests ways to reduce it. It can also suggest efficient saving methods based on the user's lifestyle and provide concrete action plans. Step 3: The investment department uses a generative AI to provide investment recommendations based on the advice provided by the savings department. These recommendations include suggesting appropriate investment targets and setting investment amounts. The generative AI analyzes the user's income and expense information and suggests investment targets that minimize risk. It can also suggest the optimal investment strategy based on the user's investment goals and analyze past investment history to suggest the best investment targets. Step 4: The Enjoyment Unit uses a Generative AI to make suggestions for enjoying the returns obtained by the Investment Unit. These suggestions include how to spend money on travel and hobbies. The Generative AI analyzes the user's income and expenditure information and suggests ways to enjoy themselves within their budget. It can also suggest the most suitable ways to enjoy themselves based on the user's hobbies and interests, and can even suggest region-specific ways to enjoy themselves by considering geographical location information.

[0144] 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 performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. 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.
[0145] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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."
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
