[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing 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" related to the technology of this 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 processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the 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 the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also 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 processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 system for streamlining local government approaches according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects literature such as policies, strategies, measures, and guidelines of each local government, generates virtual local governments using generating AIs, and simulates SoftBank's proposals and strategies. This system significantly reduces the effort required for preliminary research, document preparation, and travel to local governments, making it possible to take action on local governments efficiently. For example, the system for streamlining local government approaches collects literature such as policies, strategies, measures, and guidelines of each local government. In this process, it collects information that is publicly available on the web. For example, it downloads literature such as policies, strategies, measures, and guidelines for each year from the official website of each local government. Next, it uploads the collected literature to generating AIs and generates virtual local governments. The generating AIs analyze the uploaded literature and learn the policies and needs of each local government. For example, it generates virtual local governments such as XX Prefecture, XX City, △△ Town, and □□ Village. SoftBank's proposals and strategies are input to the generated virtual local governments and a simulation is performed. The generating AIs simulate SoftBank's proposals and strategies on the virtual local governments and find the optimal approach method. For example, it simulates what kind of proposal would be effective for a particular local government. This system significantly reduces the effort involved in preliminary research, document preparation, and travel to local governments, enabling efficient action towards them. For example, it allows for the creation of optimal proposals for specific local governments from among more than 1,700. Thus, the system for streamlining local government approaches significantly reduces the effort involved in preliminary research, document preparation, and travel to local governments, enabling efficient action towards them.
[0029] The system for streamlining local government approaches according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a generation unit, a simulation unit, and a proposal unit. The collection unit collects documents such as policies, strategies, measures, and guidelines of each local government. The collection unit collects information that is publicly available on the web, for example. For example, it downloads documents such as policies, strategies, measures, and guidelines for each year from the official website of each local government. The collection unit can also use generation AI to determine the priority of the documents to be collected. For example, the collection unit analyzes the changes in past policies and strategies to determine the priority of the documents to be collected. The generation unit analyzes the collected documents and generates virtual local governments. The generation unit uses generation AI to analyze the collected documents and generate virtual local governments, for example. For example, the generation unit generates virtual local governments such as XX Prefecture, XX City, △△ Town, and □□ Village.

The proposal department proposes the optimal approach based on the simulation results. For example, the proposal department uses generative AI to propose the optimal approach based on the simulation results. For example, the proposal department makes the optimal proposal for a specific local government. As a result, the local government approach efficiency system according to the embodiment significantly reduces the effort involved in preliminary surveys, document preparation, and travel to local governments, enabling efficient action to be taken with local governments.

For example, the proposal unit can input the simulation results into generative AI and have the generative AI execute the proposal of the optimal approach.
[0034] The collection unit can analyze the historical changes in each local government's policies and strategies and determine the priority of the literature to be collected. For example, the collection unit can prioritize collecting literature from local governments whose policies and strategies have changed frequently. It can also postpone collecting literature from local governments whose policies and strategies have been consistent. Furthermore, the collection unit can prioritize collecting literature from local governments whose policies and strategies have focused on specific themes. This allows for efficient determination of the priority of the literature to be collected by analyzing the historical changes in policies and strategies. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not. For example, the collection unit can input data on past policies and strategies into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the priority of the literature.
[0035] The collection unit can filter literature based on the local government's current projects and areas of interest during the collection process. For example, the collection unit can prioritize collecting literature related to ongoing projects. It can also filter and collect literature related to areas of interest to the local government. Furthermore, the collection unit can obtain the latest project information from the local government's official website and social media and collect relevant literature. This allows for the efficient collection of highly relevant literature by filtering it based on current projects and areas of interest.

[0038] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generated virtual municipalities based on the importance of the collected literature. For example, the generation unit can generate detailed virtual municipalities based on highly important literature. It can also generate simplified virtual municipalities based on less important literature. Furthermore, the generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generated virtual municipalities in stages according to the importance of the literature. This allows for efficient virtual municipality generation by adjusting the level of detail of the generated virtual municipalities based on the importance of the literature. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input literature importance data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the generated virtual municipalities.

[0051] The information collection department can collect not only information from the local government's official website but also related news articles and press releases. For example, the department can collect the latest news articles concerning the local government and grasp changes in the local government's policies and strategies in real time. In addition, the department can collect not only official announcements from the local government but also press releases from third parties, allowing it to analyze the local government's situation from a more multifaceted perspective. Furthermore, the department can collect documents that are not published on the local government's official website but can be obtained from other reliable sources. As a result, the department can collect more comprehensive and up-to-date information and gain a more accurate understanding of the local government's policies and strategies.
[0052] The generation unit can consider the historical background and cultural elements of a local government when generating a virtual local government. For example, the generation unit can generate a virtual local government that reflects the historical events and cultural characteristics of the local government. It can also generate a virtual local government that incorporates cultural elements such as traditional events and festivals of the local government. Furthermore, it can generate a virtual local government that reflects the historical buildings and landmarks of the local government.

It can also evaluate the risks associated with implementing the proposal and propose risk management measures. Furthermore, the proposal department can evaluate the time and schedule required to implement the proposal and create an implementation plan. This allows the proposal department to comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of a proposal based on the simulation results and develop a concrete plan for implementation.
[0055] The information collection department can collect not only information from the local government's official website but also related news articles and press releases. For example, the department can collect the latest news articles concerning the local government and grasp changes in the local government's policies and strategies in real time.

The collection department can also use generative AI to determine the priority of the documents to be collected. For example, it can analyze the changes in past policies and strategies to determine the priority of the documents to be collected. Step 2: The generation unit analyzes the collected literature and generates virtual municipalities. The generation unit uses, for example, a generation AI to analyze the collected literature and generate virtual municipalities. Specifically, it generates virtual municipalities such as XX Prefecture, XX City, △△ Town, and □□ Village. Step 3: The simulation unit simulates proposals and strategies for the generated virtual municipalities. The simulation unit uses, for example, a generating AI to simulate proposals and strategies for the virtual municipalities. Specifically, it simulates what kind of proposals would be effective for a particular municipality. Step 4: The proposal team proposes the optimal approach based on the simulation results. For example, the proposal team uses generative AI to propose the optimal approach based on the simulation results. Specifically, they make the optimal proposal for a particular local government.

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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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."
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.

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.
