[0015] In the following embodiments, "A and / or B" is synonymous with "at least one of A and B". That is, "A and / or B" means that it may be only A, only B, or a combination of A and B. Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.
[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for creating an environment in which visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind. In this system, visually impaired people are fitted with a GPS device and a device that records their location, and data is collected on what kind of problems occurred, where, and at what time of day. The collected data is analyzed by a generating AI to identify the distribution and priority of problems. For example, problems such as a lack of directional signs on roads, dangerous bicycle lanes, difficulty in finding tables in restaurants, and the lack of toilets for the visually impaired may be identified. Based on these problems, administrative support is prioritized, and efforts are made to engage with local governments. SoftBank's leadership in this initiative ensures that more effective measures are implemented. First, a GPS device and a device that records their location are fitted to measure the behavioral patterns of visually impaired people. Next, the collected data is analyzed by a generating AI to identify the distribution and priority of problems. Finally, based on the identified problems, administrative support is prioritized, and efforts are made to engage with local governments. This makes it possible to create an environment in which visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind.
[0029] The system according to the embodiment comprises a measurement unit, a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a prioritization unit, and a proposal unit. The measurement unit measures the behavioral patterns of visually impaired persons. The measurement unit includes, for example, a GPS device attached to the visually impaired person and a device for recording the situation. The data collection unit collects the data measured by the measurement unit. The data collection unit collects, for example, location information from the GPS device and data from the device for recording the situation. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and identifies problems. The analysis unit analyzes the data using a generating AI and identifies the distribution and priority of the problems. For example, the analysis unit identifies specific problems such as a lack of directional signs on roads, dangerous bicycle lanes, difficulty in finding tables in restaurants, and the lack of toilets for the visually impaired. The prioritization unit prioritizes administrative support based on the problems identified by the analysis unit. The prioritization unit prioritizes based on, for example, the urgency and scope of impact of the problems. The proposal unit proposes administrative support based on the prioritization assigned by the prioritization unit. The proposal department, for example, will lobby local governments based on the identified problems. This will help create an environment where visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind.
[0030] The measurement unit measures the behavioral patterns of visually impaired individuals. This unit includes, for example, a GPS device attached to the visually impaired person and a device for recording the situation. Specifically, the GPS device records the visually impaired person's movement route and location information in real time, while the situation recording device collects voice memos, ambient sounds, and sensor data such as vibration and temperature. This allows for a detailed understanding of the environment in which the visually impaired person behaves. Furthermore, the measurement unit can also record the movements of the white cane and guide dog used by the visually impaired person. For example, a sensor attached to the tip of the white cane detects the ground conditions and the presence of obstacles, and collects this data. A device for recording the guide dog's movements and reactions is also installed, allowing for an understanding of how the visually impaired person interacts with the guide dog. This enables the measurement unit to comprehensively measure the behavioral patterns of visually impaired individuals and provide detailed data.
[0031] The data collection unit collects data measured by the measurement unit. For example, the data collection unit collects location information from GPS devices and data from devices that record conditions. Specifically, the data collection unit transmits the movement routes and location information of visually impaired individuals to a central database in real time, and similarly collects voice memos, ambient sounds, vibrations, temperature, and other sensor data. This allows for a detailed understanding of the environment in which visually impaired individuals are behaving. Furthermore, the data collection unit can flexibly respond to specific situations and conditions by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection. For example, if a visually impaired person stays in a particular area for a long time, the collection frequency can be increased to collect detailed data on that area. The data collection unit also centrally manages the collected data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0032] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to identify problems. The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the data and identify the distribution and priority of problems. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the movement routes and behavioral patterns of visually impaired people to identify what kind of problems are occurring at what locations. For example, it identifies specific problems such as a lack of directional signs on roads, dangerous bicycle lanes, difficulty in finding tables in restaurants, and the absence of restrooms for the visually impaired. Based on this data, the generative AI evaluates the urgency and scope of impact of the problems and assigns them priority. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can analyze the frequency of problems occurring in specific areas or time periods to plan future countermeasures. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0033] The prioritization unit prioritizes administrative support based on the problems identified by the analysis unit. For example, the prioritization unit prioritizes based on the urgency and scope of impact of the problems. Specifically, it evaluates the urgency of the problems and determines the priority based on the scope of impact, using data analyzed by the generating AI. For example, if there is a shortage of directional signs, the unit prioritizes the area considering the traffic volume and the frequency of use by visually impaired people. Similarly, if a bicycle path is dangerous, the unit prioritizes it based on the accident rate and the frequency of use by visually impaired people. This allows the prioritization unit to provide criteria for prompt and appropriate responses to problems faced by visually impaired people. Furthermore, the prioritization unit can continuously review and improve the prioritization process. For example, it can update the prioritization criteria based on new data and feedback to provide more accurate prioritization. This ensures that the prioritization unit always provides appropriate prioritization based on the latest information, enabling effective support for visually impaired people.
[0034] The Proposal Department proposes administrative support based on the priorities assigned by the Prioritization Department. For example, the Proposal Department engages with local governments based on identified problems. Specifically, it proposes concrete support measures to local governments based on the priorities determined by the Prioritization Department. For example, it proposes the installation of new directional signs in areas lacking them, and strengthens safety measures in areas where bicycle paths are dangerous. It also proposes changing the layout of tables in restaurants to make them more accessible to visually impaired people if they are unsure of their location, and proposes the installation of new restrooms if there are none for the visually impaired. In this way, the Proposal Department can provide concrete support measures to create an environment where visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind. Furthermore, the Proposal Department can monitor the implementation status of the proposals and provide additional suggestions or improvements as needed. For example, after the proposed support measures are implemented, it evaluates their effectiveness and proposes further improvements as needed. In this way, the Proposal Department can continuously support visually impaired people and maintain an environment where they can go out with peace of mind.
[0035] The measurement unit includes a GPS device attached to a visually impaired person and a device for recording the situation. For example, the measurement unit uses the GPS device attached to the visually impaired person to acquire the visually impaired person's location information in real time. The measurement unit can also record the situation around the visually impaired person using the situation recording device. For example, the measurement unit uses a camera to record video of the visually impaired person's surroundings. The measurement unit can also use an audio recording device to record audio around the visually impaired person. This allows for accurate measurement of the visually impaired person's behavioral patterns. Some or all of the above-described processes in the measurement unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the measurement unit can input the visually impaired person's location information and surrounding situation into the AI, which can then analyze the data to identify behavioral patterns.
[0036] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze data and identify the distribution and priority of problems. For example, the analysis unit inputs collected data into the generative AI, which analyzes the data to identify problems. For example, the analysis unit uses the generative AI to identify specific problems such as insufficient directional signs on roads, dangerous bicycle lanes, unclear table locations in restaurants, and lack of restrooms for the visually impaired. The analysis unit can also use the generative AI to geographically visualize the distribution of problems. For example, the analysis unit uses the generative AI to plot the locations of problems on a map, visually displaying the distribution of problems. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also use the generative AI to identify the priority of problems. For example, the analysis unit uses the generative AI to identify priority based on the urgency and scope of impact of the problems. This allows for accurate identification of the distribution and priority of problems by using the generative AI. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the analysis unit can input collected data into AI, which analyzes the data to identify problems.
[0037] The proposal department engages with local governments based on identified issues. For example, the proposal department submits proposals to local governments based on identified issues. The proposal department can also hold meetings with local governments based on identified issues. For example, the proposal department discusses the identified issues with local governments and proposes solutions. The proposal department can also collect feedback from local governments based on identified issues. For example, the proposal department revises the proposal based on feedback from local governments. In this way, effective measures can be implemented by engaging with local governments based on identified issues. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the proposal department can input the identified issues into AI, and the AI can generate proposals.
[0038] The proposal department is led by a specific company. For example, the proposal department can implement more effective measures by having SoftBank take the lead. The proposal department has SoftBank take the lead in the project and coordinate to implement the measures. For example, the proposal department has SoftBank strengthen cooperation with local governments and build a cooperative system for implementing the measures. The proposal department also has SoftBank provide funding and secure the resources necessary to implement the measures. For example, the proposal department has SoftBank provide funding for the implementation of the measures and support the progress of the project. The proposal department also has SoftBank provide technical support to implement the measures and provide technical assistance for the implementation of the measures. For example, the proposal department has SoftBank provide technical support for the implementation of the measures and support the success of the project. In this way, more effective measures can be implemented by having SoftBank take the lead. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the proposal department can input the progress of a project led by SoftBank into the AI, and the AI can manage the progress of the project.
[0039] The analysis unit identifies specific problems such as insufficient directional signs on roads, dangerous bicycle lanes, difficulty in determining the location of tables in restaurants, and the lack of restrooms for the visually impaired. For example, the analysis unit inputs collected data into a generating AI, which analyzes the data to identify specific problems. For instance, the analysis unit can use the generating AI to identify insufficient directional signs on roads. It can also use the generating AI to identify dangerous bicycle lanes. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use the generating AI to identify difficulty in determining the location of tables in restaurants. It can also use the generating AI to identify the lack of restrooms for the visually impaired. By identifying specific problems, an environment can be created where visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the analysis unit can input collected data into an AI, which analyzes the data to identify specific problems.
[0040] The measurement unit selects the optimal measurement method by referring to the visually impaired person's past behavioral patterns during measurement. For example, the measurement unit prioritizes measurements at places the visually impaired person has frequently visited in the past. The measurement unit can also concentrate measurements at specific time periods based on the visually impaired person's past behavioral patterns. For example, the measurement unit prioritizes measurements at places the visually impaired person has visited at specific time periods in the past. Furthermore, the measurement unit can analyze the visually impaired person's past behavioral patterns and select the most efficient measurement method. For example, the measurement unit selects the optimal measurement method based on the visually impaired person's past behavioral patterns. This allows the optimal measurement method to be selected by referring to past behavioral patterns. Some or all of the above processing in the measurement unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the measurement unit can input the visually impaired person's past behavioral patterns into AI, and the AI can select the optimal measurement method.
[0041] The measurement unit filters the measurement data based on the visually impaired person's current activity during measurement. For example, if the visually impaired person is walking, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data related to walking. If the visually impaired person is resting, the measurement unit can also filter and measure data related to resting. For example, the measurement unit filters the data collected while the visually impaired person is resting. Furthermore, if the visually impaired person is using public transportation, the measurement unit can also filter and measure data related to their usage. For example, the measurement unit filters the data when the visually impaired person is using public transportation. This allows for the collection of more relevant data by filtering the data based on the current activity. Some or all of the above processing in the measurement unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the measurement unit can input the visually impaired person's current activity into the AI, and the AI can filter the data.
[0042] The measurement unit prioritizes measuring highly relevant data, taking into account the geographical location information of the visually impaired person during measurement. For example, if the visually impaired person is at an intersection, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data related to the safety of the intersection. If the visually impaired person is at a public transport station, the measurement unit can also prioritize measuring data related to the usage of the station. For example, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data when the visually impaired person is at the station. Furthermore, if the visually impaired person is in a park, the measurement unit can prioritize measuring data related to the park's facilities. For example, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data when the visually impaired person is in the park. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant data by considering geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the measurement unit may be performed using AI, or it may be performed without AI. For example, the measurement unit can input the geographical location information of the visually impaired person into the AI, which can then prioritize measuring highly relevant data.
[0043] The measurement unit analyzes the social media activity of visually impaired individuals and measures relevant data during measurement. For example, if a visually impaired person mentions a specific location on social media, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data related to that location. The measurement unit can also prioritize measuring data related to a specific issue if a visually impaired person mentions a specific issue on social media. For example, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data related to an issue mentioned by a visually impaired person on social media. Furthermore, if a visually impaired person mentions a specific event on social media, the measurement unit prioritizes measuring data related to that event.

Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply a social media analysis algorithm to social media data. For example, the analysis unit applies a social media analysis algorithm to social media data. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying the most appropriate analysis algorithm for each data category. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, or they may not be performed using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the data category into the AI, which can then apply the most appropriate analysis algorithm.
[0050] The analysis unit determines the priority of analysis based on the data collection period during analysis. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of the most recent data. The analysis unit may also postpone the analysis of older data. For example, the analysis unit may postpone the analysis of older data. The analysis unit may also determine the priority of analysis based on the data collection period. In this way, by determining the priority of analysis according to the data collection period, the most recent data can be analyzed preferentially.

The proposal unit proposes administrative support based on the prioritization assigned by the prioritization unit. The proposal department, for example, will lobby local governments based on the identified problems. This will help create an environment where visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind.
[0071] The measurement unit measures the behavioral patterns of visually impaired individuals. This unit includes, for example, a GPS device attached to the visually impaired person and a device for recording the situation. Specifically, the GPS device records the visually impaired person's movement route and location information in real time, while the situation recording device collects voice memos, ambient sounds, and sensor data such as vibration and temperature. This allows for a detailed understanding of the environment in which the visually impaired person behaves. Furthermore, the measurement unit can also record the movements of the white cane and guide dog used by the visually impaired person. For example, a sensor attached to the tip of the white cane detects the ground conditions and the presence of obstacles, and collects this data. A device for recording the guide dog's movements and reactions is also installed, allowing for an understanding of how the visually impaired person interacts with the guide dog. This enables the measurement unit to comprehensively measure the behavioral patterns of visually impaired individuals and provide detailed data.
[0072] The data collection unit collects data measured by the measurement unit. For example, the data collection unit collects location information from GPS devices and data from devices that record conditions. Specifically, the data collection unit transmits the movement routes and location information of visually impaired individuals to a central database in real time, and similarly collects voice memos, ambient sounds, vibrations, temperature, and other sensor data. This allows for a detailed understanding of the environment in which visually impaired individuals are behaving. Furthermore, the data collection unit can flexibly respond to specific situations and conditions by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection. For example, if a visually impaired person stays in a particular area for a long time, the collection frequency can be increased to collect detailed data on that area. The data collection unit also centrally manages the collected data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0073] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to identify problems. The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the data and identify the distribution and priority of problems. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the movement routes and behavioral patterns of visually impaired people to identify what kind of problems are occurring at what locations. For example, it identifies specific problems such as a lack of directional signs on roads, dangerous bicycle lanes, difficulty in finding tables in restaurants, and the absence of restrooms for the visually impaired. Based on this data, the generative AI evaluates the urgency and scope of impact of the problems and assigns them priority. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can analyze the frequency of problems occurring in specific areas or time periods to plan future countermeasures. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0074] The prioritization unit prioritizes administrative support based on the problems identified by the analysis unit. For example, the prioritization unit prioritizes based on the urgency and scope of impact of the problems. Specifically, it evaluates the urgency of the problems and determines the priority based on the scope of impact, using data analyzed by the generating AI. For example, if there is a shortage of directional signs, the unit prioritizes the area considering the traffic volume and the frequency of use by visually impaired people. Similarly, if a bicycle path is dangerous, the unit prioritizes it based on the accident rate and the frequency of use by visually impaired people. This allows the prioritization unit to provide criteria for prompt and appropriate responses to problems faced by visually impaired people. Furthermore, the prioritization unit can continuously review and improve the prioritization process. For example, it can update the prioritization criteria based on new data and feedback to provide more accurate prioritization. This ensures that the prioritization unit always provides appropriate prioritization based on the latest information, enabling effective support for visually impaired people.
[0075] The Proposal Department proposes administrative support based on the priorities assigned by the Prioritization Department. For example, the Proposal Department engages with local governments based on identified problems. Specifically, it proposes concrete support measures to local governments based on the priorities determined by the Prioritization Department. For example, it proposes the installation of new directional signs in areas lacking them, and strengthens safety measures in areas where bicycle paths are dangerous. It also proposes changing the layout of tables in restaurants to make them more accessible to visually impaired people if they are unsure of their location, and proposes the installation of new restrooms if there are none for the visually impaired. In this way, the Proposal Department can provide concrete support measures to create an environment where visually impaired people can go out with peace of mind. Furthermore, the Proposal Department can monitor the implementation status of the proposals and provide additional suggestions or improvements as needed. For example, after the proposed support measures are implemented, it evaluates their effectiveness and proposes further improvements as needed. In this way, the Proposal Department can continuously support visually impaired people and maintain an environment where they can go out with peace of mind.

[0135] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0139] 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.

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.).
[0140] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.
[0141] 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. 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. 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.

[0160] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.

[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.).
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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).

[0175] 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.
[0176] For example, the measurement unit is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the GPS device and the status recording device are controlled by the computer 36 of the robot 414 and the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12. The data acquisition unit collects data via the communication I / F 44 of the robot 414 and the communication I / F 26 of the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the data using a generating AI. The priority assignment unit and the proposal unit are implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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."
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
