The generated answers are provided to the user by the provision unit. Along with the generated answers, the provision unit provides explanations of background information related to the answers. For example, it explains the historical background of the economic situation and the process leading up to the current situation. Furthermore, the provision unit can provide explanations of background information and historical context related to current events. For example, it explains past events related to the current economic situation and comparisons with the economic situation of other countries. Furthermore, the generation unit can evaluate and compare the collected information based on factors such as reliability, timeliness, and source. This improves the reliability of the information provided to the user. In addition, the reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of question submission based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the timing of question submission may be delayed. The generation unit can also determine the perspective based on the user's areas of interest at the time of question submission. For example, if the user is interested in economics, an answer from an economic perspective will be generated. Furthermore, the generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and generate an answer from a perspective related to the estimated emotions of the user. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, an answer from a perspective that alleviates anxiety will be generated.This allows the AI assistant question-answering system for news and current events to collect and analyze relevant information and provide answers from different perspectives in response to user questions.
[0029] The AI assistant question-answering system for news and current events according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a collection unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit.

The generation unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and generates answers from multiple different perspectives. For example, the generation unit can generate answers from the perspective of an economic expert. It can also generate answers from the perspective of the government. Furthermore, the generation unit can generate answers from the perspective of citizens. For example, the generation unit generates answers from the perspective of an economic expert. The generation unit generates answers from the perspective of the government. The generation unit generates answers from the perspective of citizens. The provision unit provides explanations of background information related to the answers generated by the generation unit. For example, the provision unit explains the historical background of the economic situation. It can also explain the events leading up to the current situation. Furthermore, the provision unit can provide explanations of background information and historical context related to current events. For example, the provision unit explains past events related to the current economic situation. The provision unit explains comparisons with the economic situation of other countries.As a result, the AI assistant question-answering system for news and current events according to the embodiment can collect and analyze relevant information in response to a user's question and provide answers from different perspectives.
[0030] The reception desk receives user questions. User questions may include, but are not limited to, text or voice formats. The reception desk can, for example, accept text questions. It can also accept voice questions. Furthermore, the reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of question acceptance based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the reception desk can delay accepting the question. Specifically, the reception desk uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's text questions and understand their intent and content. For voice questions, speech recognition technology is used to convert the audio to text, which is then analyzed. Furthermore, for emotion estimation, machine learning models are used to estimate the user's emotions from the tone of voice and the expression in the text. For example, if the user's voice tone is high and they are in a hurry, the system will determine that the user is anxious and respond quickly. On the other hand, if the user is speaking in a calm tone, a normal response will be given. This allows the reception desk to respond flexibly according to the user's situation and emotions. Furthermore, the reception desk can refer to a user's past question history and prioritize questions based on the user's interests. For example, a user who has asked many economic-related questions in the past will have economic-related questions processed first. This allows the reception desk to provide personalized responses that meet the user's needs.
[0031] The information collection unit collects relevant information from databases containing current or past news information based on questions received by the reception unit. For example, the collection unit collects information from news websites. It can also collect information from academic papers. Furthermore, it can collect information from official government databases. For instance, the collection unit collects the latest news articles from news websites. It collects relevant papers from academic paper databases. It collects statistical data from official government databases. Specifically, the collection unit uses web scraping techniques to automatically collect the latest news articles from news websites on the internet. This includes techniques for analyzing the HTML structure of news websites and extracting necessary information. For academic paper databases, it uses APIs to search for and download relevant papers. Furthermore, it executes queries to retrieve publicly available statistical data and reports from official government databases. The collection unit centrally manages this information and filters and categorizes it as needed. For example, it categorizes collected news articles to enable quick searching of information related to specific topics. Furthermore, the data collection unit uses algorithms to evaluate the reliability of information and prioritizes collecting data from reliable sources. This allows the data collection unit to provide relevant information quickly and accurately in response to user inquiries.
[0032] The generation unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and generates answers from multiple different perspectives. For example, the generation unit can generate answers from the perspective of an economic expert. It can also generate answers from the perspective of the government. Furthermore, it can generate answers from the perspective of citizens. Specifically, the generation unit uses natural language generation technology to generate answers based on the collected information. The generation unit first analyzes the collected information and extracts keywords and topics related to the question. Next, based on the extracted keywords and topics, it selects templates for generating answers from different perspectives. For example, when generating answers from the perspective of an economic expert, it uses an AI model with expertise in economics to generate answers that include economic impacts and predictions. When generating answers from the government's perspective, it generates answers based on official government data and policies. When generating answers from citizens' perspectives, it generates answers that reflect the opinions and feelings of the general public. The generation unit integrates these responses from different perspectives and arranges them into the optimal format for providing to the user. Furthermore, the generation unit evaluates the quality of the generated responses and makes corrections and improvements as needed. This allows the generation unit to provide multifaceted and high-quality answers to user questions.
[0033] The provider unit provides explanations of background information related to the answers generated by the generator unit. For example, the provider unit may explain the historical background of the economic situation. It can also explain the events leading up to the current situation. Furthermore, the provider unit may provide explanations of background information and historical context related to current events. For example, the provider unit may explain past events related to the current economic situation. The provider unit may explain comparisons with the economic situations of other countries. Specifically, when the provider unit provides the user with answers generated by the generator unit, it adds background information related to the answers. For example, for questions about the economic situation, it provides explanations about past economic crises and policy changes. It also explains the events leading up to the current situation in chronological order to make it easy for the user to understand. Furthermore, by providing background information and historical context related to current events, the provider unit enables the user to grasp the overall picture of the issue. For example, for questions about the economic situation of a particular country, it provides explanations about that country's past economic policies and international relations. It also enables the user to understand the issue from different perspectives by making comparisons with other countries. The information provider can offer these explanations not only in text format but also visually using graphs and charts. This allows the provider to offer users comprehensive and easy-to-understand information, deepening their understanding of the questions.
[0034] The information provider can provide background information related to current events or explanations of historical context. For example, the information provider can provide background information related to current events. The information provider can also provide explanations of historical context. For example, the information provider can explain past events related to the current economic situation. The information provider can explain comparisons with the economic situation of other countries. By providing background information related to current events and explanations of historical context, the user's understanding can be deepened.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0133] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0134] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0135] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0136] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0137] 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.
[0138] 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.
[0139] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48.

In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0142] 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 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.
[0143] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0144] For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12.

[0145] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0146] 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.
[0147] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0149] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0150] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0151] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0157] 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.).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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).

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] 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.
[0161] For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the delivery unit is implemented by the speaker 240 of the robot 414. For example, some or all of the reception unit, collection unit, generation unit, and delivery unit may be implemented by 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.

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.
