[0028] (Example of form 1) The handwriting improvement support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to support the improvement of a child's handwriting. In this handwriting improvement support system, a parent selects a font that they want their child to master, the child writes characters according to that font, and the written characters are photographed with a smartphone or tablet camera. The photographed image is sent to the generating AI, which analyzes which parts of the child's handwriting need improvement by comparing them with the selected font. Based on the analysis results, the generating AI corrects the handwriting like a teacher, adding red lines and comments to the parts that need improvement and showing how to correct them. The corrected results are provided to the parent and child, and the child corrects the characters according to the generating AI's advice and rewrites them. By repeating this process, the child's handwriting gradually improves. This system allows parents to support their children's handwriting improvement, and allows children to practice handwriting in a fun and effective way. For example, a parent selects a font such as block script or semi-cursive script through a smartphone or tablet app. The selected font is sent to the generating AI and serves as the basis for analysis. Next, based on the photographed image, the generating AI evaluates the balance of the characters, the thickness of the lines, the angles, etc. For example, it analyzes how much the center line of a character is off-center and whether the line thickness is uniform. Specific examples of corrections include comments like, "Make this line a little thicker," or "Make this angle a little sharper." This makes it easier for children to understand specific correction methods. The AI's learning method utilizes past data to improve the accuracy of its feedback. For example, it learns what corrections were effective based on previously corrected data and incorporates this into future feedback. Furthermore, it collects feedback from parents and children, gathering opinions such as, "This advice was helpful," or "This part was difficult to understand," which is used to improve the AI. This allows the AI ​​to continuously learn and improve the accuracy of its feedback. Parents and children can receive more effective advice and support their children's handwriting improvement. In this way, the handwriting improvement support system allows parents to support their children's handwriting improvement, and children to practice handwriting in a fun and effective way.

The analysis unit analyzes the captured image and compares it with the selected handwriting style to determine which parts of the child's handwriting need improvement. The analysis unit evaluates the balance of the characters, the thickness of the lines, angles, etc., using, for example, a generation AI. The generating AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generating AI, and it improves the accuracy of feedback by utilizing past data. For example, the generating AI learns what kind of corrections were effective based on data that has been corrected in the past and reflects this in the next feedback. The correction unit corrects the work like a teacher with a red pen based on the analysis results. The correction unit generates comments such as, "Let's make this line a little thicker" or "Let's make this angle a little sharper." The generating AI generates comments that show specific correction methods based on the analysis results. The delivery unit provides the corrected results to the parents and children.

Step 5: The delivery team provides the corrected work to the parents and children. Delivery methods include email, app notifications, and printed materials. In addition, feedback from parents and children is collected to help improve the generating AI.

[0064] (Example of form 2) The handwriting improvement support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to support the improvement of a child's handwriting. In this handwriting improvement support system, a parent selects a font that they want their child to master, the child writes characters according to that font, and the written characters are photographed with a smartphone or tablet camera. The photographed image is sent to the generating AI, which analyzes which parts of the child's handwriting need improvement by comparing them with the selected font. Based on the analysis results, the generating AI corrects the handwriting like a teacher, adding red lines and comments to the parts that need improvement and showing how to correct them. The corrected results are provided to the parent and child, and the child corrects the characters according to the generating AI's advice and rewrites them. By repeating this process, the child's handwriting gradually improves. This system allows parents to support their children's handwriting improvement, and allows children to practice handwriting in a fun and effective way. For example, a parent selects a font such as block script or semi-cursive script through a smartphone or tablet app. The selected font is sent to the generating AI and serves as the basis for analysis. Next, based on the photographed image, the generating AI evaluates the balance of the characters, the thickness of the lines, the angles, etc. For example, it analyzes how much the center line of a character is off-center and whether the line thickness is uniform. Specific examples of corrections include comments like, "Make this line a little thicker," or "Make this angle a little sharper." This makes it easier for children to understand specific correction methods. The AI's learning method utilizes past data to improve the accuracy of its feedback. For example, it learns what corrections were effective based on previously corrected data and incorporates this into future feedback. Furthermore, it collects feedback from parents and children, gathering opinions such as, "This advice was helpful," or "This part was difficult to understand," which is used to improve the AI. This allows the AI ​​to continuously learn and improve the accuracy of its feedback. Parents and children can receive more effective advice and support their children's handwriting improvement.

[0101] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0102] The selection function can also automatically generate practice tasks tailored to the child's learning progress based on the font selected by the parent. For example, if the regular script (Kaisho) is selected, the function will generate tasks that start with basic line practice and gradually progress to more complex characters. If the semi-cursive script (Gyosho) is selected, it can generate tasks that include practice of flowing lines. Furthermore, if the cursive script (Sosho) is selected, it can generate tasks that practice freehand brushstrokes. This allows for effective practice tailored to the child's learning progress.

[0103] The analysis unit can also regularly evaluate a child's writing progress and provide feedback tailored to that progress. For example, it can evaluate weekly progress and provide feedback highlighting areas for improvement and goals achieved. It can also evaluate monthly progress and provide advice for achieving long-term goals. Furthermore, it can evaluate progress toward specific events or exams and provide feedback to support necessary preparation. This helps maintain a child's motivation to learn and supports effective learning.

[0104] The analysis unit can analyze the characteristics of a child's handwriting and propose an individualized learning plan. For example, it can analyze the balance, line thickness, and angles of a child's handwriting and suggest areas for improvement. It can also analyze a child's handwriting habits and provide specific advice for improvement. Furthermore, it can suggest practice methods tailored to the child's learning style and support effective learning. This ensures that a learning plan is provided that meets the individual needs of each child.

[0105] The editing function can estimate the child's emotions and adjust the tone of the editing based on that estimation. For example, if the child is relaxed, it will provide editing comments that include many words of encouragement. If the child is tense, it can provide comments in a gentle tone that point out specific areas for improvement. Furthermore, if the child is excited, it can provide comments that emphasize positive feedback and boost motivation. This ensures that appropriate feedback is provided according to the child's emotions.

[0106] The service provider can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the format of the feedback based on those estimates. For example, if the parent is stressed, it can provide concise and to-the-point feedback. If the parent is relaxed, it can provide detailed feedback. Furthermore, if the parent is in a hurry, it can provide feedback that emphasizes only the important points. This ensures that appropriate feedback is provided according to the parent's emotions.

[0107] The selection section can analyze the parent's past selection history and prioritize displaying fonts they prefer. For example, it can prioritize displaying fonts that the parent has frequently selected in the past. It can also analyze the fonts the parent has selected during specific time periods and suggest fonts suitable for those times. Furthermore, it can suggest fonts suitable for specific events or seasons based on the parent's past selection history. This allows for the prioritization of fonts preferred by the parent.

[0108] The analysis unit can estimate the child's emotions and adjust the analysis criteria based on those estimates. For example, if the child is relaxed, a detailed analysis can be performed. If the child is tense, a simplified analysis can be performed. Furthermore, if the child is excited, a visually easy-to-understand analysis can be performed. This adjusts the analysis criteria according to the child's emotions.

[0109] The camera unit can automatically adjust lighting and angles during shooting to acquire appropriate images. For example, it can automatically adjust the light intensity to ensure optimal brightness. It can also automatically adjust the camera angle to ensure the optimal viewpoint. Furthermore, it can automatically adjust the background brightness to make the subject stand out. This allows for the acquisition of optimal images.

[0110] The camera unit can estimate the child's emotions and adjust the shooting timing based on that estimation. For example, if the child is relaxed, shooting can be done at natural moments. If the child is tense, shooting can be done after they have relaxed. Furthermore, if the child is excited, shooting can be done after they have calmed down. This allows for adjustment of the shooting timing according to the child's emotions.

[0111] The service provider can also provide appropriate feedback by considering the parent's geographical location at the time of delivery. For example, if the parent is in Japan, feedback will be provided in Japanese. If the parent is in China, feedback can be provided in Chinese. Furthermore, if the parent is in Europe or the Americas, feedback can be provided in English. This ensures that optimal feedback is provided based on geographical location information.

[0112] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0113] Step 1: In the selection section, parents choose the typeface they want their child to master. Parents select their preferred typeface from several options (e.g., regular script, semi-cursive script, cursive script, etc.) via a smartphone or tablet app. Step 2: The shooting unit photographs the writing of the child. A smartphone or tablet camera is used to photograph the writing the child has written on paper. The captured image is sent to the analysis unit. Step 3: The analysis unit analyzes the captured image and compares it to the selected font to determine which parts of the child's handwriting need improvement. Generative AI is used for the analysis, evaluating the balance of the characters, line thickness, angles, etc. The generative AI utilizes past data to improve the accuracy of the feedback. Step 4: The editing section makes corrections based on the analysis results. For example, it generates comments that indicate specific correction methods, such as "Let's make this line a little thicker" or "Let's make this angle a little sharper." Step 5: The delivery team provides the corrected work to the parents and children. Delivery methods include email, app notifications, and printed materials. In addition, feedback from parents and children is collected to help improve the generating AI.

The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0148] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0149] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0150] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0151] 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.

[0152] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0153] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0154] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0155] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0156] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0157] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0160] 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.

[0161] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0162] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device 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 that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0163] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0164] 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. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions.

Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0165] 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.

[0166] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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."

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.
