[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 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 automated fault response system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automates fault response using AI. This automated fault response system analyzes call conversations and generates a concise and easy-to-understand fault report using a generation AI, with fault response personnel using predefined prompts. Next, it analyzes past fault reports and response history data and creates patterns. This allows for the analysis and presentation of risks and solutions for each fault pattern. Furthermore, it has a mechanism to immediately raise alerts for new faults that do not fit into any pattern. For example, in the step of analyzing call conversations, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content and extracts important information. For example, it extracts information such as the date and time of the fault, the scope of impact, and specific symptoms. Next, fault response personnel use predefined prompts, and the generation AI creates a concise and easy-to-understand fault report. This report includes the extracted important information, enabling personnel to respond quickly. Next, in the step of analyzing past fault reports and response history data, the generation AI analyzes this data and identifies fault patterns. For example, it identifies patterns such as faults occurring during specific time periods or faults related to specific systems. This allows for the analysis and presentation of risks and solutions for each fault pattern to personnel. Furthermore, the system includes a mechanism to immediately raise alerts for new failures that do not fit into existing patterns. When the generating AI detects a new failure, it immediately sends an alert to the relevant parties to encourage a swift response. For example, if a new type of failure occurs, the generating AI will detect it and notify the relevant parties. This system improves the efficiency of failure response and enables a rapid response. Relevant parties can take appropriate action based on the failure report generated by the generating AI. In addition, by analyzing past failure data, it is possible to predict the risk of future failures and take countermeasures in advance. Moreover, because it can respond to new failures immediately, the system stability is improved. In this way, the automated failure response system can improve the efficiency of failure response and enable a rapid response.
[0029] The automated fault response system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an alert unit. The analysis unit analyzes call conversations. Call conversations include, but are not limited to, telephone conversations, video calls, and chats. The analysis unit converts the content of the call conversation into text data using, for example, speech recognition technology. The analysis unit can also extract important information from the conversation content using text analysis technology. For example, the analysis unit extracts information such as the date and time of the fault, the scope of impact, and specific symptoms from the conversation content. The generation unit generates a fault report based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The fault report includes, but is not limited to, information such as the type of fault, the time of occurrence, and the scope of impact. The generation unit creates a fault report based on the extracted information using, for example, generation AI. The generation unit can also analyze past fault reports and response history data to identify fault patterns. For example, the generation unit can identify patterns such as faults occurring during specific time periods or faults related to specific systems. The alert unit detects new faults based on the reports generated by the generation unit and sends immediate alerts. Alerts include, but are not limited to, real-time notifications and notifications without delay. The alerting unit, for example, uses a generation AI to detect new failures and immediately sends alerts to relevant parties. As a result, the automated failure response system according to the embodiment can improve the efficiency of failure response by analyzing call conversations, generating failure reports, and immediately detecting and sending alerts for new failures.
[0030] The analysis unit can analyze the content of a call and extract important information. For example, the analysis unit can convert the content of a call into text data using speech recognition technology. For example, the analysis unit can use speech recognition software to automatically analyze the speech and save it as text. The analysis unit can also extract important information from the conversation content using text analysis technology. For example, the analysis unit can extract information such as the date and time of the failure, the scope of the impact, and specific symptoms from the conversation content. This improves the accuracy of fault response by extracting important information from the content of the call. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the content of the call into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the extraction of important information.
[0031] The generation unit can create an incident report based on the extracted information. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to create an incident report based on the extracted information. For example, the generation unit can use the generation AI to generate a clear and concise incident report based on the extracted information. The generation unit can also analyze past incident reports and response history data to identify incident patterns. For example, the generation unit can identify patterns such as incidents occurring during specific time periods or incidents related to specific systems. This allows stakeholders to respond quickly by creating incident reports based on the extracted information. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the extracted information into a generation AI and have the generation AI create an incident report.
[0032] The alert unit can detect new failures and send immediate alerts. For example, the alert unit can use a generation AI to detect new failures and send immediate alerts to relevant parties. For instance, the alert unit can use a generation AI to detect new failures and notify relevant parties in real time. The alert unit can also adjust the method of sending alerts. For example, the alert unit can send alerts using methods such as real-time notification or no-delay notification. This enables rapid response by immediately detecting new failures and sending alerts. Some or all of the above-described processes in the alert unit may be performed using a generation AI, or without one. For example, the alert unit can have the generation AI detect new failures and send alerts.
[0033] The generation unit can analyze past failure reports and response history data to identify failure patterns. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze past failure reports and response history data and identify failure patterns. For example, the generation unit can identify patterns such as failures occurring during specific time periods or failures related to specific systems. The generation unit can also analyze risks and solutions based on failure patterns. For example, the generation unit analyzes risk factors and solutions based on specific patterns and presents them to stakeholders. In this way, by analyzing past failure data, failure patterns can be identified and risks and solutions can be analyzed. 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 past failure reports and response history data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the identification of failure patterns.
[0034] The generation unit can analyze risk factors and solutions for each failure pattern and present them to stakeholders. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to analyze risk factors and solutions for each failure pattern. For example, the generation unit can analyze risk factors and solutions based on a specific pattern and present them to stakeholders. The generation unit can also present appropriate countermeasures to stakeholders based on the risk factors and solutions. For example, the generation unit can present countermeasures and procedures to stakeholders based on the risk factors and solutions. This enables appropriate responses by analyzing and presenting risks and solutions for each failure pattern to stakeholders. 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 have the generation AI perform the analysis of risk factors and solutions for each failure pattern, and then have the generation AI perform the presentation to stakeholders.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the content of call conversations in real time and immediately extract important information. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze the content of call conversations in real time. For example, the analysis unit can use the generative AI to extract the date and time of the failure in real time during the conversation. The analysis unit can also use the generative AI to immediately identify and extract the scope of the impact during the conversation. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use the generative AI to analyze and extract specific symptoms in real time during the conversation. This enables a rapid response by extracting important information in real time. The definition and criteria of real time need to be clearly defined, for example, by specifying delay time and processing speed. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the content of the call conversation into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the extraction of important information in real time.
[0036] The analysis unit can evaluate the importance of specific keywords and phrases when analyzing conversation content. For example, the analysis unit can use a generative AI to detect specific keywords and phrases when analyzing conversation content. For example, the analysis unit can have the generative AI detect keywords such as "urgent" and "critical" and rate them as highly important. The analysis unit can also have the generative AI detect phrases such as "system down" and "data loss" and rate them as highly important. Furthermore, the analysis unit can have the generative AI detect phrases such as "minor problem" and "temporary outage" and rate them as less important. This allows important information to be processed preferentially by evaluating importance based on specific keywords and phrases. The selection criteria and extraction methods for specific keywords and phrases need to be clearly defined, for example, by frequency and importance. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input conversation content into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the detection of specific keywords and phrases and the evaluation of their importance.
[0037] The analysis unit can handle different languages and dialects when analyzing the content of call conversations. For example, the analysis unit can use generative AI to handle different languages and dialects. For example, the analysis unit can use a multilingual analysis algorithm with the generative AI to analyze conversations in different languages. The analysis unit can also use the generative AI to recognize and accurately analyze dialects and regional expressions. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use the generative AI with an automatic language detection function to identify and analyze the language of the conversation. This allows the system to support a wide range of users by handling different languages and dialects. The methods and criteria for handling different languages and dialects need to be clearly defined, for example, by using a multilingual system or a dialect dictionary. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not using generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the content of call conversations into the generative AI and have the generative AI perform analysis of different languages and dialects.
[0038] The analysis unit can improve analysis accuracy by removing background noise and other noises when analyzing conversation content. For example, the analysis unit can use a generative AI to remove background noise and other noises. For instance, the generative AI can use noise filtering technology to remove background noise and analyze the conversation content. The analysis unit can also use speech recognition technology with the generative AI to extract important information while removing noise. Furthermore, the analysis unit can have the generative AI analyze multiple audio channels and remove noise to improve accuracy. This improves analysis accuracy by removing background noise and other noises. The methods and criteria for removing background noise and other noises need to be clearly defined, for example, noise filtering technology and speech cleanup technology. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or they may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input conversation content into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform background noise and other noise removal.
[0039] The generation unit can include detailed solutions by referencing data on similar past failures when generating failure reports. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to reference data on similar past failures. For example, the generation unit can have the generation AI reference a database of past failures and include solutions for similar failures in the report. The generation unit can also have the generation AI analyze past response history and include the optimal solution in the report. Furthermore, the generation unit can have the generation AI propose detailed solutions based on past failure patterns. This allows for the provision of detailed solutions by referencing data on similar past failures. The methods and criteria for referencing data on similar past failures need to be clearly defined, for example, database searches and historical data analysis. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the generation unit can input data on similar past failures into the generation AI and have the generation AI propose detailed solutions.
[0040] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail in a report based on the scope and priority of the failure when generating the report. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to evaluate the scope and priority of the failure. For example, the generation unit can have the generation AI evaluate the scope of the failure and generate a report that highlights important information. The generation unit can also have the generation AI consider the priority of the failure and generate a report that includes detailed information. Furthermore, the generation unit can have the generation AI adjust the level of detail in the report appropriately based on the scope and priority of the failure. This makes it possible to provide appropriate information by adjusting the level of detail in the report based on the scope and priority of the failure. The evaluation criteria and adjustment methods for the scope and priority of the failure need to be clearly defined, for example, the number of affected systems and users, the urgency and importance. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the generation unit can have the generation AI perform the evaluation of the scope and priority of the failure, and have the generation AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail in the report.
[0041] The generation unit can make fault report reports visually easy to understand by including visual elements when generating them. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to include visual elements in the report. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to include a graph showing the scope of the fault's impact in the report. The generation unit can also use a generation AI to include a chart showing the frequency of fault occurrences in the report. Furthermore, the generation unit can use a generation AI to include visual elements showing the effectiveness of solutions in the report. This allows for the provision of visually easy-to-understand reports by including visual elements. The types and usage of visual elements, such as graphs, charts, and diagrams, need to be clearly defined. 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 have a generation AI generate visual elements and include them in the report.
[0042] The generation unit can generate customized reports according to the roles and permissions of stakeholders during report generation. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to customize reports according to the roles and permissions of stakeholders. For example, the generation unit can use the generation AI to generate reports containing detailed information for administrators. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to generate reports containing technical details for engineers. Furthermore, the generation unit can use the generation AI to generate concise and easy-to-understand reports for general users. This enables the provision of appropriate information by providing reports customized according to the roles and permissions of stakeholders. The definition and customization methods for stakeholders' roles and permissions need to be clearly defined, for example, administrators, engineers, and operators. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the generation unit can have the generation AI perform the customization of reports according to the roles and permissions of stakeholders.
[0043] The alert unit can improve the accuracy of alerts by referring to past failure data when detecting new failures. For example, the alert unit can refer to past failure data using a generation AI. For example, the alert unit can have the generation AI refer to past failure data, identify patterns of new failures, and send alerts. The alert unit can also have the generation AI analyze past failure response history and generate appropriate alerts. Furthermore, the alert unit can have the generation AI evaluate the risk of new failures based on past failure data and send alerts. This improves the accuracy of new failure detection by referring to past failure data. The method and criteria for referring to past failure data need to be clearly defined, for example, database search or historical data analysis. Some or all of the above processing in the alert unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not using a generation AI. For example, the alert unit can input past failure data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform new failure detection and alert generation.
[0044] The alert unit can adjust the level of detail of an alert based on the scope and priority of the failure when sending an alert. For example, the alert unit uses a generation AI to evaluate the scope and priority of the failure. For example, the alert unit can have the generation AI evaluate the scope of the failure and send an alert that highlights important information. The alert unit can also have the generation AI consider the priority of the failure and send an alert that includes detailed information. Furthermore, the alert unit can have the generation AI adjust the level of detail of the alert appropriately based on the scope and priority of the failure. This makes it possible to provide appropriate information by adjusting the level of detail of the alert based on the scope and priority of the failure. The method and criteria for adjusting the level of detail of the alert need to be clearly defined, for example, the level of detail in the notification content and the comprehensiveness of the information. Some or all of the above processing in the alert unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not using a generation AI. For example, the alert unit can have the generation AI perform the evaluation of the scope and priority of the failure, and have the generation AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the alert.
[0045] The alert unit can send alerts considering geographical information when detecting new failures. The alert unit considers geographical information, for example, using a generation AI. For example, the alert unit uses the generation AI to identify the location of the failure and send alerts to stakeholders within the affected area. The alert unit can also use the generation AI to send alerts that include optimal countermeasures based on geographical information. Furthermore, the alert unit can use the generation AI to consider geographical information, evaluate the scope of impact, and send alerts. This allows for the sending of appropriate alerts to stakeholders within the affected area by considering geographical information. The method and criteria for referencing geographical information need to be clearly defined, for example, GPS data or regional codes. Some or all of the above processing in the alert unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the alert unit can input geographical information into a generation AI and have the generation AI execute the sending of alerts.
[0046] The alert unit can send customized alerts based on the roles and permissions of the stakeholders when sending alerts.

For example, the alert unit can use the generation AI to send alerts containing detailed information to administrators. The alert unit can also use the generation AI to send alerts containing technical details to technicians. Furthermore, the alert unit can use the generation AI to send concise and easy-to-understand alerts to general users. This enables the provision of appropriate information by sending alerts customized according to the roles and permissions of the stakeholders. The content and adjustment methods of the customized alerts need to be clearly defined, for example, the customization of notification content and the customization of recipients. Some or all of the above processing in the alert unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the alert unit can have the generation AI perform the customization of alerts according to the roles and permissions of the stakeholders.
[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0048] The analysis unit can use specialized analysis algorithms for different industries and fields when analyzing call conversations. For example, it can perform analyses specialized in medical terminology and symptoms for the medical industry, and analyses specialized in financial terminology and transactions for the financial industry. It can also perform analyses specialized in educational terminology and learning content for the education sector. Furthermore, it can perform analyses specialized in manufacturing processes and machine failures for the manufacturing industry. By performing analyses specialized for different industries and fields, it becomes possible to extract information with higher accuracy.
[0049] The generation unit can customize the content of incident reports by referring to the user's past behavior history when generating them. For example, it can provide a report with detailed technical information to users who have previously dealt with similar incidents. Conversely, it can provide a report with basic information and simple steps to users who are encountering an incident for the first time. Furthermore, it can suggest the optimal solution based on the user's past response history to a specific incident. In this way, by customizing the report content based on the user's past behavior history, it becomes possible to provide more appropriate information.
[0050] The alerting unit can adjust the alert priority based on the frequency and impact of new failures. For example, frequently occurring failures can be given a low priority, while failures with a significant impact can be given a high priority. Furthermore, based on historical data, appropriate priorities can be set for failures that occur during specific time periods or under specific conditions. In addition, failures with a wide-ranging impact can be given a high priority to encourage a rapid response. By adjusting the alert priority based on the frequency and impact of failures, a more effective response becomes possible.
[0051] The generation unit can collect and analyze data in real time when generating incident reports, allowing it to reflect the latest information. For example, it can monitor the occurrence status and scope of impact of incidents in real time and reflect them in the report. It can also add progress updates and new discoveries to the report in real time. Furthermore, it can collect feedback from stakeholders in real time and reflect it in the report. As a result, by collecting and analyzing data in real time, it can provide reports that include the latest information.
[0052] The analysis unit can improve analysis accuracy by combining speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology when analyzing the content of call conversations. For example, speech recognition technology is used to convert the conversation content into text data, and that text data is then analyzed using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, by linking speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology, the context and intent of the conversation can be understood more accurately. In addition, by combining speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology, it is possible to handle complex conversation content and specialized terminology. In this way, by improving analysis accuracy by combining speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology, more accurate information extraction becomes possible.
[0053] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0054] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the call conversation. Call conversations include telephone conversations, video calls, chats, etc. The analysis unit uses speech recognition technology to convert the call conversation content into text data and uses text analysis technology to extract important information from the conversation content. For example, it extracts information such as the date and time of the failure, the scope of the impact, and specific symptoms from the conversation content. Step 2: The generation unit generates a fault report based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The fault report includes information such as the type of fault, the time of occurrence, and the scope of impact. The generation unit can create a fault report based on the information extracted using the generation AI, and can also identify fault patterns by analyzing past fault reports and response history data. Step 3: The alerting unit detects new failures based on reports generated by the generation unit and sends immediate alerts. Alerts include real-time and no-delay notifications. The alerting unit uses generation AI to detect new failures and sends immediate alerts to relevant parties.
[0055] (Example of form 2) The automated fault response system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automates fault response using AI. This automated fault response system analyzes call conversations and generates a concise and easy-to-understand fault report using a generation AI, with fault response personnel using predefined prompts. Next, it analyzes past fault reports and response history data and creates patterns. This allows for the analysis and presentation of risks and solutions for each fault pattern. Furthermore, it has a mechanism to immediately raise alerts for new faults that do not fit into any pattern. For example, in the step of analyzing call conversations, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content and extracts important information. For example, it extracts information such as the date and time of the fault, the scope of impact, and specific symptoms. Next, fault response personnel use predefined prompts, and the generation AI creates a concise and easy-to-understand fault report. This report includes the extracted important information, enabling personnel to respond quickly. Next, in the step of analyzing past fault reports and response history data, the generation AI analyzes this data and identifies fault patterns. For example, it identifies patterns such as faults occurring during specific time periods or faults related to specific systems. This allows for the analysis and presentation of risks and solutions for each fault pattern to personnel. Furthermore, the system includes a mechanism to immediately raise alerts for new failures that do not fit into existing patterns. When the generating AI detects a new failure, it immediately sends an alert to the relevant parties to encourage a swift response. For example, if a new type of failure occurs, the generating AI will detect it and notify the relevant parties. This system improves the efficiency of failure response and enables a rapid response. Relevant parties can take appropriate action based on the failure report generated by the generating AI. In addition, by analyzing past failure data, it is possible to predict the risk of future failures and take countermeasures in advance. Moreover, because it can respond to new failures immediately, the system stability is improved. In this way, the automated failure response system can improve the efficiency of failure response and enable a rapid response.

For example, it can provide a report with detailed technical information to users who have previously dealt with similar incidents. Conversely, it can provide a report with basic information and simple steps to users who are encountering an incident for the first time. Furthermore, it can suggest the optimal solution based on the user's past response history to a specific incident. In this way, by customizing the report content based on the user's past behavior history, it becomes possible to provide more appropriate information.
[0088] The alerting unit can adjust the alert priority based on the frequency and impact of new failures. For example, frequently occurring failures can be given a low priority, while failures with a significant impact can be given a high priority. Furthermore, based on historical data, appropriate priorities can be set for failures that occur during specific time periods or under specific conditions. In addition, failures with a wide-ranging impact can be given a high priority to encourage a rapid response. By adjusting the alert priority based on the frequency and impact of failures, a more effective response becomes possible.
[0089] The generation unit can collect and analyze data in real time when generating incident reports, allowing it to reflect the latest information. For example, it can monitor the occurrence status and scope of impact of incidents in real time and reflect them in the report. It can also add progress updates and new discoveries to the report in real time. Furthermore, it can collect feedback from stakeholders in real time and reflect it in the report. As a result, by collecting and analyzing data in real time, it can provide reports that include the latest information.
[0090] The analysis unit can improve analysis accuracy by combining speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology when analyzing the content of call conversations. For example, speech recognition technology is used to convert the conversation content into text data, and that text data is then analyzed using natural language processing technology. Furthermore, by linking speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology, the context and intent of the conversation can be understood more accurately. In addition, by combining speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology, it is possible to handle complex conversation content and specialized terminology. In this way, by improving analysis accuracy by combining speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology, more accurate information extraction becomes possible.
[0091] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0092] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the call conversation. Call conversations include telephone conversations, video calls, chats, etc. The analysis unit uses speech recognition technology to convert the call conversation content into text data and uses text analysis technology to extract important information from the conversation content. For example, it extracts information such as the date and time of the failure, the scope of the impact, and specific symptoms from the conversation content. Step 2: The generation unit generates a fault report based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The fault report includes information such as the type of fault, the time of occurrence, and the scope of impact. The generation unit can create a fault report based on the information extracted using the generation AI, and can also identify fault patterns by analyzing past fault reports and response history data. Step 3: The alerting unit detects new failures based on reports generated by the generation unit and sends immediate alerts. Alerts include real-time and no-delay notifications. The alerting unit uses generation AI to detect new failures and sends immediate alerts to relevant parties.

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.
