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 product traceability system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that certifies AI products by blockchaining all products generated by generating AI, and establishes a traceable state that extends to the generating AI model and training data used. In this product traceability system, the generating AI creates a product, registers that product on the blockchain, and certifies the product. At this time, information related to the product (for example, the generating AI model and training data used) is also registered. This ensures the traceability of the product. For example, if the generating AI generates an image, the image is registered on the blockchain, and information on the generating AI model and training data used is also registered. This clarifies the origin and generation process of the product, eliminating suspicion. Furthermore, since information registered on the blockchain is difficult to tamper with, the reliability of the product is improved. As a result, users of the product can use it with peace of mind. In addition, the management of copyrights and intellectual property rights becomes easier because the origin and generation process of the product are clarified. This mechanism eliminates suspicion towards AI products and promotes more proactive and fair use of AI. For example, when a company uses generative AI to create advertising images, the increased reliability of the generated images enhances the effectiveness of the advertisement. Similarly, when a research institution uses generative AI to publish research results, the increased reliability of the generated images also enhances the credibility of the research itself. In this way, a product traceability system improves the reliability of AI-generated products, allowing users to use them with confidence.
[0029] The product traceability system according to the embodiment comprises a registration unit, a certification unit, and a traceability unit. The registration unit registers products. Products include, but are not limited to, digital content and physical products. The registration unit stores the products in a database, for example. The registration unit can also record the products on a blockchain. For example, the registration unit registers the products on a blockchain to prevent tampering with them. The certification unit certifies the products registered by the registration unit. Certification is performed by, but is not limited to, methods such as digital signatures and certificate issuance. For example, the certification unit affixes a digital signature to the product to verify its authenticity. The certification unit can also issue a certificate to the product to certify its origin and production process. The traceability unit ensures the traceability of the products certified by the certification unit. Traceability is performed by, but is not limited to, methods such as tracking systems and log recording. For example, the traceability unit identifies the origin and production process of the product to ensure its traceability. Furthermore, the traceability unit can record product logs and track the history of the products. This allows the product traceability system according to the embodiment to improve the reliability of AI products by ensuring product registration, certification, and traceability. For example, the product traceability system can determine registration priorities based on the importance of the product during registration. Additionally, the product traceability system can apply different registration methods depending on the product category during registration. This enables efficient management of the product traceability system.
[0030] The registration unit registers the generated products. These products include, but are not limited to, digital content and physical products. The registration unit stores the generated products in a database. Specifically, for digital content, it stores the metadata and the file itself in the database; for physical products, it records the product's serial number and manufacturing information. The registration unit can also record the generated products on a blockchain. Blockchain technology can prevent tampering with the generated products and enhance their reliability. For example, the registration unit calculates the hash value of the generated product and registers that hash value on the blockchain. This allows for the detection of tampering because if the content of the generated product changes, the hash value will no longer match. Furthermore, the registration unit can prioritize registration based on the importance of the generated product. For example, high-importance generated products can be registered quickly, while low-importance generated products can be postponed. This enables an efficient registration process. Additionally, different registration methods can be applied depending on the category of the generated product. For example, for digital content, detailed metadata is recorded, while for physical products, detailed records of the manufacturing process are recorded. This enables appropriate registration based on the characteristics of the product.
[0031] The certification unit certifies the products registered by the registration unit. Certification is performed by methods such as digital signatures and certificate issuance, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the certification unit affixes a digital signature to the product and verifies its authenticity. Digital signatures are generated using public-key cryptography and serve to prevent tampering with the product. For example, a digital signature is generated by calculating the hash value of the product and encrypting that hash value with a private key. The recipient can verify the digital signature using the public key to confirm that the product has not been tampered with. The certification unit can also issue certificates to the product, certifying its origin and creation process. Certificates contain detailed information about the product and the issuer, and serve to enhance the product's authenticity. For example, a certificate may include information such as the date and time of creation, the creator, and the technologies and methods used. This clarifies the origin and creation process of the product, improving its authenticity. Furthermore, the certification unit can automate the product certification process. For example, an efficient certification process can be achieved by automatically generating digital signatures and certificates at the same time as the product is registered. This allows the certification unit to quickly and accurately certify the product and ensure its reliability.
[0032] The traceability unit ensures the traceability of products certified by the certification unit. Traceability is achieved through methods such as tracking systems and log keeping, but is not limited to these examples.

For example, it records in detail the process by which the product was created and what materials and techniques were used. It can also track how the product was distributed and the routes it took to finally reach the consumer. This clarifies the product's history and improves its reliability. Furthermore, the traceability unit can also log the product and track its history. For example, it records information such as the date and time the product was registered, the date and time it was certified, the distribution route, and the final consumer as logs. This allows for centralized management of the product's entire history, which can be referenced as needed. In addition, the traceability unit can visualize the product's traceability information. For example, it can display the product's history as graphs and charts to make it easier to understand visually. This allows for quick understanding of the product's traceability information and appropriate action to be taken. This allows the traceability unit to record the history of the product in detail and ensure reliability, thereby improving the traceability of the product.

[0060] (Example of form 2) The product traceability system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that certifies AI products by blockchaining all products generated by generating AI, and establishes a traceable state that extends to the generating AI model and training data used. In this product traceability system, the generating AI creates a product, registers that product on the blockchain, and certifies the product. At this time, information related to the product (for example, the generating AI model and training data used) is also registered. This ensures the traceability of the product. For example, if the generating AI generates an image, the image is registered on the blockchain, and information on the generating AI model and training data used is also registered. This clarifies the origin and generation process of the product, eliminating suspicion. Furthermore, since information registered on the blockchain is difficult to tamper with, the reliability of the product is improved. As a result, users of the product can use it with peace of mind. In addition, the management of copyrights and intellectual property rights becomes easier because the origin and generation process of the product are clarified. This mechanism eliminates suspicion towards AI products and promotes more proactive and fair use of AI. For example, when a company uses generative AI to create advertising images, the increased reliability of the generated images enhances the effectiveness of the advertisement. Similarly, when a research institution uses generative AI to publish research results, the increased reliability of the generated images also enhances the credibility of the research itself. In this way, a product traceability system improves the reliability of AI-generated products, allowing users to use them with confidence.

The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0146] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0152] The 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).

[0153] 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.
[0154] For example, each of the multiple elements, including the registration unit, certification unit, and traceability unit, is implemented by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the registration unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and registers the product on the blockchain. The certification unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and performs digital signatures and issues certificates for the product. The traceability unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and tracks the origin and generation process of the product. Furthermore, the registration unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of product registration based on the estimated emotions. Emotion estimation is implemented, for example, using sensors or an emotion engine of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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."
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
