The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to analyze the content and style of employees' email communications and quantitatively evaluates the quality of communication, response speed, and professionalism. This system collects employee email data and analyzes it using generative AI. The generative AI combines natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to analyze the content and style of emails. Specifically, it measures indicators such as reply time, language use, problem-solving ability, email structure, and accuracy of information. For example, reply time is measured by calculating the difference between the email sending time and the reply time. Language use is evaluated by analyzing the frequency of use of honorifics and polite expressions. Problem-solving ability is evaluated by extracting the problem-solving process from the email content and evaluating its effectiveness. Next, the communication ability of each employee is quantified based on the data analyzed by the generative AI. This makes it possible to objectively evaluate employee performance. For example, employees with short reply times, polite language use, and high problem-solving ability can receive high evaluations. Furthermore, the generative AI provides feedback for performance improvement based on the evaluation results of each employee. For example, employees with long reply times are told the importance of prompt responses and specific improvement measures are proposed. Employees who use inappropriate language will be instructed on how to use appropriate expressions. Employees with poor problem-solving skills will be given advice on how to improve their problem-solving processes. This system will ensure that performance evaluations are based on objective and quantitative data, rather than relying on subjective opinions. This is expected to improve employee performance. Furthermore, objective criteria for evaluating non-face-to-face communication skills will be provided, enabling appropriate evaluation even in remote work environments. The system will analyze the content and style of employees' email communications, allowing for quantitative evaluation of communication quality, response speed, and professionalism.

Using the POP3 protocol allows for downloading email data from the email client and saving it locally. OAuth authentication allows for secure access to the employee's email account and acquisition of the necessary email data. This enables the collection unit to collect employee email data in diverse ways, improving the overall data collection capability of the system. Furthermore, the collection unit centrally manages the collected email data, allowing the analysis and evaluation units to access it efficiently. For example, collected email data is stored in cloud storage, allowing the analysis and evaluation departments to access it in real time as needed. Furthermore, the data collection department can adjust the frequency and timing of data collection, enabling flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This allows the data collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the email data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the content and style of the emails. For example, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the content of the emails. The analysis unit can also use machine learning algorithms to analyze the style of the emails. Furthermore, the analysis unit can calculate the email reply time. For example, the analysis unit uses morphological analysis to analyze the content of the emails. The analysis unit can also use classification algorithms to analyze the style of the emails.

Topic modeling extracts the subject and important keywords of the emails, and sentiment analysis evaluates the emotional tone of the emails. The machine learning algorithm learns patterns of writing style and word usage to analyze the style of the emails and evaluates the format and structure of the emails. Furthermore, the analysis unit calculates the difference between the email sending time and the reply time to evaluate the speed of the replies. This allows the analytics department to comprehensively analyze collected email data and gain a detailed understanding of employees' communication styles and response speeds. Furthermore, the analytics department can utilize historical email data and statistical information to analyze long-term trends and patterns. For example, it can analyze fluctuations in response times over a specific period or changes in responses to specific topics to identify areas for improvement in employee performance and identify challenges. In addition, the analytics department can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This enables the analytics department to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term performance evaluation and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and security of the entire system.

[0032] The evaluation department generates evaluation metrics based on data analyzed by the analysis department. For example, the evaluation department generates metrics such as response time, language use, problem-solving ability, email structure, and information accuracy. The evaluation department can also generate evaluation metrics using a generative AI. For example, the evaluation department can generate short response times as an evaluation metric. It can also generate frequency of polite language use as an evaluation metric. Furthermore, it can generate the problem-solving process as an evaluation metric. Specifically, the generative AI calculates each evaluation metric based on data provided by the analysis department, quantitatively evaluating employee performance. For example, short response times are calculated based on the difference between the email sending time and the response time, and are an important metric in tasks requiring quick responses. Evaluation of language use is based on the frequency of polite language and appropriate expressions, and is used to assess professionalism and the quality of customer service. Evaluation of problem-solving ability assesses the quality of the problem-solving process and proposals based on the content and structure of emails. This allows the evaluation department to comprehensively assess the quality of employees' email communication, response speed, and professionalism, and identify specific areas for improvement. Furthermore, the evaluation department can relatively evaluate employee performance by comparing it with past evaluation data and industry standards. For example, based on past evaluation data, they can identify areas for improvement and challenges in employee performance, and evaluate how well employees perform compared to industry standards. In addition, the evaluation department can visualize the evaluation results and provide them to employees and managers in an easy-to-understand manner. This enables the evaluation department to quantitatively and comprehensively evaluate employee performance and provide information to identify specific areas for improvement.

[0033] The Feedback Department provides feedback based on evaluation metrics generated by the Evaluation Department. For example, the Feedback Department provides specific improvement measures based on evaluation results. The Feedback Department can also provide feedback using generative AI. For example, it can point out the importance of prompt responses to employees with long response times. It can also instruct employees with inappropriate language use on appropriate expression usage. Furthermore, it can advise employees with poor problem-solving skills on improving their problem-solving processes. Specifically, the generative AI generates individual feedback for each employee based on evaluation results. For example, it might highlight the importance of prompt responses and provide specific improvement measures for employees with long response times, or show appropriate expression usage and specific examples for employees with inappropriate language use. For employees with poor problem-solving skills, it might suggest problem-solving processes and effective approaches, and provide specific improvement measures. This allows the Feedback Department to provide specific advice to improve employee performance and support employee growth. Additionally, the Feedback Department can monitor employee responses to feedback and progress on improvements, providing ongoing support. For example, it can track changes in the performance of employees who receive feedback and provide additional advice and support as needed.

[0146] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

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.).

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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).

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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the evaluation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the feedback unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.
