[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.

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) An automated tagging system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes the content of images and text and automatically generates relevant tags. The automated tagging system has a function to prioritize the assignment of highly relevant tags by referring to the user's search history and purchase history, and further incorporates a user feedback function to improve the accuracy of the tags. First, the automated tagging system analyzes the content of the product's image or text related to the product. For example, the automated tagging system analyzes the content of the image or text in detail and extracts the characteristics of the product. It analyzes the color and shape from the product's image, and the product's description and reviews from the text. Next, the automated tagging system generates tags based on the analyzed information. For example, if an image of a red shirt is analyzed, tags such as "red," "shirt," and "fashion" are generated. The generated tags are assigned to the product. The generated tags are associated with the product and displayed when the user searches for the product. Furthermore, the automated tagging system acquires the user's behavior history. For example, the automated tagging system collects the user's search history and purchase history. If the user searches for "red shirt," that search history is acquired. Based on the acquired behavior history, it prioritizes the assignment of highly relevant tags. For example, if a user has a search history for "red shirt," tags such as "red" and "shirt" will be prioritized. The automatic tagging system also accepts user feedback. For instance, if a user provides feedback that the tag "red" is inappropriate for a "red shirt," the system will revise the tag based on that information. In this way, a system is realized that analyzes the content of images and text and automatically generates and assigns highly relevant tags based on the user's behavior history and feedback. As a result, the automatic tagging system can analyze the content of images and text and automatically generate and assign relevant tags.
[0029] The automated tagging system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an assignment unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of product images or text related to products. The analysis unit analyzes the color and shape of products using, for example, an image analysis algorithm. The analysis unit analyzes product descriptions and reviews using, for example, a text analysis method. The analysis unit analyzes the meaning of text using, for example, natural language processing technology. The generation unit generates tags based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates, for example, keyword tags based on the analyzed information. The generation unit generates, for example, category tags based on the analyzed information. The generation unit generates, for example, attribute tags based on the analyzed information. The assignment unit assigns the tags generated by the generation unit to products. The assignment unit associates the generated tags with products, for example. The assignment unit registers the generated tags in a product database, for example. The assignment unit makes the generated tags visible when a user searches for them, for example. Thus, the automated tagging system according to this embodiment can analyze the content of product images and text and automatically generate and assign relevant tags.
[0030] The analysis unit analyzes product images or text content related to products. Specifically, it uses image analysis algorithms to analyze the color and shape of products. For example, it uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from product images and identify attributes such as color, shape, and pattern. This allows for the acquisition of detailed information based on the product's appearance. It also uses text analysis techniques to analyze product descriptions and reviews. For example, it uses morphological analysis to segment the text and analyze the meaning and relationships of each word. Furthermore, it uses natural language processing techniques to analyze the meaning of the text. For example, it uses generative AI to extract important keywords and phrases from product descriptions and reviews to understand product characteristics and user evaluations. As a result, the analysis unit can acquire product information from multiple perspectives using both images and text and perform detailed analysis. By combining these technologies, the analysis unit can grasp product characteristics with high accuracy and provide the information necessary for subsequent tag generation.
[0031] The generation unit generates tags based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it generates keyword tags based on the analyzed information. For example, it generates keyword tags such as "red" and "round" based on the product's color and shape. It also generates tags such as "highly rated" and "popular product" based on important keywords extracted from the product description and reviews. Furthermore, it generates category tags based on the analyzed information. For example, it generates category tags such as "home appliances" and "fashion" based on the product's use and category. This allows users to narrow down their search by category when searching for products. Furthermore, it generates attribute tags based on the analyzed information. For example, it generates attribute tags such as "waterproof" and "lightweight" based on the product's characteristics and functions. The generation unit can use machine learning algorithms to automatically generate these tags. For example, it can use supervised learning to learn tag generation patterns from past data and generate appropriate tags for new products. As a result, the generation unit can generate a variety of tags with high accuracy based on the information provided by the analysis unit, accurately representing the characteristics of the products.
[0032] The tagging unit assigns tags generated by the generation unit to products. Specifically, it associates the generated tags with products. For example, it adds the generated tags to each product entry in the product database. It also registers the generated tags in the product database. This allows the product database to store related tag information along with detailed information about each product. Furthermore, it ensures that the generated tags are displayed when users search for them. For example, if a user searches for "waterproof," products with the corresponding tag will be displayed in the search results. The tagging unit can integrate with database management systems and search engines to automate these tagging processes. For example, it can create indexes to efficiently manage tag information and respond quickly to search queries. This allows the tagging unit to efficiently and effectively assign generated tags to products, improving user convenience when searching for products. Furthermore, the tagging unit can also update and delete tags. For example, if new information is analyzed or product characteristics change, it updates the tags accordingly to reflect the latest information. This ensures that the tagging unit always maintains the latest tag information and provides accurate information to users.
[0033] The acquisition unit can acquire the user's activity history with respect to the product. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's search history for the product. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's purchase history for the product. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's browsing history for the product. Based on the activity history acquired by the acquisition unit, the generation unit can preferentially assign tags that are highly relevant to the user from among the generated tags to the product. For example, if the user has a history of searching for "red shirt," the generation unit will preferentially assign tags such as "red" and "shirt." For example, if the user has a history of purchasing "sports equipment," the generation unit will preferentially assign tags such as "sports" and "exercise." For example, if the user has a history of browsing "electronic devices," the generation unit will preferentially assign tags such as "electronic devices" and "gadgets." This allows for the preferential assignment of highly relevant tags based on the user's activity history. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's activity history into AI and generate data for preferentially assigning highly relevant tags.
[0034] The feedback unit can receive feedback from users. For example, the feedback unit can receive comments from users about the appropriateness of tags. For example, the feedback unit can receive evaluations of tags from users. For example, the feedback unit can receive responses from users to questionnaires. The tagging unit can change the tags assigned to products based on the feedback. For example, if a user provides feedback that the tag "red" is inappropriate for a "red shirt," the tagging unit will correct the tag based on that information. For example, if a user provides feedback that the tag "exercise" is inappropriate for "sports equipment," the tagging unit will correct the tag based on that information. For example, if a user provides feedback that the tag "gadget" is inappropriate for "electronic devices," the tagging unit will correct the tag based on that information. This allows for improvement of tag accuracy based on user feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input user feedback data into AI to generate data for evaluating the appropriateness of tags.
[0035] The acquisition unit can acquire search history, which is the history of when a user has searched for a product, or purchase history, which is the history of when a user has purchased a product, as behavioral history. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the history of when a user has searched for "red shirt". For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the history of when a user has purchased "sports equipment". For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the history of when a user has searched for "electronic devices". By acquiring the user's search history and purchase history, it becomes possible to assign tags based on behavioral history. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's search history and purchase history into AI and generate data for generating highly relevant tags.
[0036] The tagging unit can assign a tag corresponding to the first product to the second product and a tag corresponding to the second product to the first product if the same user has taken action on both the first and second products. For example, if a user searches for "red shirt" and "blue shirt," the tagging unit will assign the "blue shirt" tag to "red shirt" and the "red shirt" tag to "blue shirt." For example, if a user purchases "sports equipment" and "outdoor equipment," the tagging unit will assign the "outdoor equipment" tag to "sports equipment" and the "sports equipment" tag to "outdoor equipment." For example, if a user views "electronic devices" and "home appliances," the tagging unit will assign the "home appliances" tag to "electronic devices" and the "electronic devices" tag to "home appliances." This allows relevant tags to be assigned to multiple products based on the user's browsing history. Some or all of the above processing in the tagging unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tagging unit can input user behavior history data into the AI and generate data for creating relevant tags.
[0037] The tagging unit can assign tags related to the attributes of users who have interacted with a product. For example, the tagging unit can assign tags based on the user's age. For example, the tagging unit can assign tags based on the user's gender. For example, the tagging unit can assign tags based on the user's place of residence. This allows tags related to products to be assigned based on the user's attributes. Some or all of the above processing in the tagging unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tagging unit can input user attribute data into AI and generate data for generating relevant tags.
[0038] The analysis unit can correct the analysis results based on the product's background information during image analysis. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the scenery in the background of the product and correct the product's characteristics. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the location where the product was photographed and correct the product's characteristics. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the date and time the product was photographed and correct the product's characteristics. This improves the accuracy of image analysis based on the product's background information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the product's background information into AI and generate data to correct the analysis results.
[0039] The analysis unit can enhance its analysis results by referring to product reviews and ratings during text analysis. For example, the analysis unit can analyze user comments to enhance product features. For example, the analysis unit can analyze rating scores to enhance product features. For example, the analysis unit can analyze review dates and times to enhance product features. This allows the accuracy of text analysis to be improved by referring to product reviews and ratings. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input product review and rating data into AI to generate data to enhance the analysis results.
[0040] The analysis unit can estimate the usage scenario of a product during image analysis and reflect this in the analysis results. For example, if the product is used outdoors, the analysis unit analyzes the natural environment in the background and generates outdoor-related tags. For example, if the product is used indoors, the analysis unit analyzes the furniture and interior and generates home decor-related tags. For example, if the product is used at an event, the analysis unit analyzes the type of event and generates party and festival-related tags. By estimating the usage scenario of the product, it is possible to generate more relevant tags. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input product usage scenario data into AI and generate data to reflect in the analysis results.
[0041] The analysis unit can enhance the analysis results by referencing relevant trend information for products during text analysis. For example, the analysis unit can refer to the latest fashion trends and add relevant keywords to the analysis results. For example, the analysis unit can refer to current market trends and reflect high-demand product categories in the analysis results. For example, the analysis unit can refer to trends on social media and include popular hashtags in the analysis results. This improves the accuracy of text analysis by referencing relevant trend information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input trend information data into AI to generate data to enhance the analysis results.
[0042] The analysis unit can correct the analysis results by referring to the product's manufacturer information during image analysis. For example, if the product's manufacturer has a high rating, the analysis unit can add quality-related tags. For example, if the manufacturer is located in a specific region, the analysis unit can add tags related to that region. For example, if the manufacturer is a specific brand, the analysis unit can add tags related to that brand. This improves the accuracy of image analysis by referring to the product's manufacturer information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input manufacturer information data into AI and generate data to correct the analysis results.
[0043] The analysis unit can enhance the analysis results by referring to relevant patent information of the product during text analysis. For example, if there are patents related to the product, the analysis unit will include that patent information in the analysis results. For example, the analysis unit will analyze the technical content of the patent and add technical tags. For example, the analysis unit will refer to the applicant information of the patent and include the company name and researcher name in the tags. This improves the accuracy of text analysis by referring to relevant patent information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input patent information data into AI and generate data to enhance the analysis results.
[0044] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of tags when generating tags, taking into account the market value of the product. For example, the generation unit can generate detailed tags for expensive products, standard tags for general products, and simplified tags for inexpensive products. By adjusting the level of detail of tags based on the market value of the product, more appropriate tags can be generated. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input market value data of products into AI and generate data for adjusting the level of detail of tags.
[0045] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the product category when generating tags. For example, the generation unit can apply an algorithm that generates tags based on color and style to products in the fashion category. For example, the generation unit can apply an algorithm that generates tags based on function and specifications to products in the electronics category. For example, the generation unit can apply an algorithm that generates tags based on ingredients and taste to products in the food category. By applying different generation algorithms depending on the product category, more appropriate tags can be generated.

For example, the generation unit can input product category data into AI and generate data for applying different generation algorithms.
[0046] The generation unit can determine the priority of tags based on the product's sales period when generating tags. For example, the generation unit can prioritize generating tags based on the latest trends for new products. For example, the generation unit can prioritize generating seasonal tags for seasonal products. For example, the generation unit can prioritize generating tags related to discounts and benefits for sale products. By determining the priority of tags based on the product's sales period, more appropriate tags can be generated. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input product sales period data into AI and generate data for determining tag priority.
[0047] The generation unit can adjust the order of tags based on product relevance when generating tags. For example, the generation unit may display the most relevant tags first.

[0066] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0067] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the product image or the content of the text related to the product. For example, the analysis unit uses image analysis algorithms to analyze the color and shape of the product, and text analysis methods to analyze the product description and reviews. It also uses natural language processing technology to analyze the meaning of the text. Step 2: The generation unit generates tags based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates keyword tags, category tags, and attribute tags based on the analyzed information. Step 3: The tagging unit assigns the tags generated by the generation unit to the products. For example, the tagging unit associates the generated tags with the products, registers them in the product database, and makes them visible when users search for them.
[0068] (Example of form 2) An automated tagging system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes the content of images and text and automatically generates relevant tags. The automated tagging system has a function to prioritize the assignment of highly relevant tags by referring to the user's search history and purchase history, and further incorporates a user feedback function to improve the accuracy of the tags. First, the automated tagging system analyzes the content of the product's image or text related to the product. For example, the automated tagging system analyzes the content of the image or text in detail and extracts the characteristics of the product. It analyzes the color and shape from the product's image, and the product's description and reviews from the text. Next, the automated tagging system generates tags based on the analyzed information. For example, if an image of a red shirt is analyzed, tags such as "red," "shirt," and "fashion" are generated. The generated tags are assigned to the product. The generated tags are associated with the product and displayed when the user searches for the product. Furthermore, the automated tagging system acquires the user's behavior history. For example, the automated tagging system collects the user's search history and purchase history. If the user searches for "red shirt," that search history is acquired. Based on the acquired behavior history, it prioritizes the assignment of highly relevant tags. For example, if a user has a search history for "red shirt," tags such as "red" and "shirt" will be prioritized. The automatic tagging system also accepts user feedback. For instance, if a user provides feedback that the tag "red" is inappropriate for a "red shirt," the system will revise the tag based on that information. In this way, a system is realized that analyzes the content of images and text and automatically generates and assigns highly relevant tags based on the user's behavior history and feedback. As a result, the automatic tagging system can analyze the content of images and text and automatically generate and assign relevant tags.
[0069] The automated tagging system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an assignment unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of product images or text related to products. The analysis unit analyzes the color and shape of products using, for example, an image analysis algorithm. The analysis unit analyzes product descriptions and reviews using, for example, a text analysis method. The analysis unit analyzes the meaning of text using, for example, natural language processing technology. The generation unit generates tags based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates, for example, keyword tags based on the analyzed information. The generation unit generates, for example, category tags based on the analyzed information. The generation unit generates, for example, attribute tags based on the analyzed information. The assignment unit assigns the tags generated by the generation unit to products. The assignment unit associates the generated tags with products, for example. The assignment unit registers the generated tags in a product database, for example. The assignment unit makes the generated tags visible when a user searches for them, for example. Thus, the automated tagging system according to this embodiment can analyze the content of product images and text and automatically generate and assign relevant tags.
[0070] The analysis unit analyzes product images or text content related to products. Specifically, it uses image analysis algorithms to analyze the color and shape of products. For example, it uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from product images and identify attributes such as color, shape, and pattern. This allows for the acquisition of detailed information based on the product's appearance. It also uses text analysis techniques to analyze product descriptions and reviews. For example, it uses morphological analysis to segment the text and analyze the meaning and relationships of each word. Furthermore, it uses natural language processing techniques to analyze the meaning of the text. For example, it uses generative AI to extract important keywords and phrases from product descriptions and reviews to understand product characteristics and user evaluations. As a result, the analysis unit can acquire product information from multiple perspectives using both images and text and perform detailed analysis. By combining these technologies, the analysis unit can grasp product characteristics with high accuracy and provide the information necessary for subsequent tag generation.
[0071] The generation unit generates tags based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it generates keyword tags based on the analyzed information. For example, it generates keyword tags such as "red" and "round" based on the product's color and shape. It also generates tags such as "highly rated" and "popular product" based on important keywords extracted from the product description and reviews. Furthermore, it generates category tags based on the analyzed information. For example, it generates category tags such as "home appliances" and "fashion" based on the product's use and category. This allows users to narrow down their search by category when searching for products. Furthermore, it generates attribute tags based on the analyzed information. For example, it generates attribute tags such as "waterproof" and "lightweight" based on the product's characteristics and functions. The generation unit can use machine learning algorithms to automatically generate these tags. For example, it can use supervised learning to learn tag generation patterns from past data and generate appropriate tags for new products. As a result, the generation unit can generate a variety of tags with high accuracy based on the information provided by the analysis unit, accurately representing the characteristics of the products.
[0072] The tagging unit assigns tags generated by the generation unit to products. Specifically, it associates the generated tags with products. For example, it adds the generated tags to each product entry in the product database. It also registers the generated tags in the product database. This allows the product database to store related tag information along with detailed information about each product. Furthermore, it ensures that the generated tags are displayed when users search for them. For example, if a user searches for "waterproof," products with the corresponding tag will be displayed in the search results. The tagging unit can integrate with database management systems and search engines to automate these tagging processes. For example, it can create indexes to efficiently manage tag information and respond quickly to search queries. This allows the tagging unit to efficiently and effectively assign generated tags to products, improving user convenience when searching for products. Furthermore, the tagging unit can also update and delete tags. For example, if new information is analyzed or product characteristics change, it updates the tags accordingly to reflect the latest information. This ensures that the tagging unit always maintains the latest tag information and provides accurate information to users.
[0073] The acquisition unit can acquire the user's activity history with respect to the product. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's search history for the product. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's purchase history for the product. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's browsing history for the product. Based on the activity history acquired by the acquisition unit, the generation unit can preferentially assign tags that are highly relevant to the user from among the generated tags to the product. For example, if the user has a history of searching for "red shirt," the generation unit will preferentially assign tags such as "red" and "shirt." For example, if the user has a history of purchasing "sports equipment," the generation unit will preferentially assign tags such as "sports" and "exercise." For example, if the user has a history of browsing "electronic devices," the generation unit will preferentially assign tags such as "electronic devices" and "gadgets." This allows for the preferential assignment of highly relevant tags based on the user's activity history. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's activity history into AI and generate data for preferentially assigning highly relevant tags.
[0074] The feedback unit can receive feedback from users. For example, the feedback unit can receive comments from users about the appropriateness of tags. For example, the feedback unit can receive evaluations of tags from users. For example, the feedback unit can receive responses from users to questionnaires. The tagging unit can change the tags assigned to products based on the feedback. For example, if a user provides feedback that the tag "red" is inappropriate for a "red shirt," the tagging unit will correct the tag based on that information. For example, if a user provides feedback that the tag "exercise" is inappropriate for "sports equipment," the tagging unit will correct the tag based on that information. For example, if a user provides feedback that the tag "gadget" is inappropriate for "electronic devices," the tagging unit will correct the tag based on that information. This allows for improvement of tag accuracy based on user feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input user feedback data into AI to generate data for evaluating the appropriateness of tags.

Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's search history and purchase history into AI and generate data for generating highly relevant tags.
[0076] The tagging unit can assign a tag corresponding to the first product to the second product and a tag corresponding to the second product to the first product if the same user has taken action on both the first and second products. For example, if a user searches for "red shirt" and "blue shirt," the tagging unit will assign the "blue shirt" tag to "red shirt" and the "red shirt" tag to "blue shirt." For example, if a user purchases "sports equipment" and "outdoor equipment," the tagging unit will assign the "outdoor equipment" tag to "sports equipment" and the "sports equipment" tag to "outdoor equipment." For example, if a user views "electronic devices" and "home appliances," the tagging unit will assign the "home appliances" tag to "electronic devices" and the "electronic devices" tag to "home appliances." This allows relevant tags to be assigned to multiple products based on the user's browsing history.

For example, the analysis unit can input product review and rating data into AI to generate data to enhance the analysis results.
[0080] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the accuracy of the analysis based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the analysis unit can increase the accuracy of the analysis and extract detailed information. For example, if the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can maintain normal accuracy and extract standard information. For example, if the user is stressed, the analysis unit can decrease the accuracy of the analysis and extract simplified information. By adjusting the accuracy of the analysis based on the user's emotions, more appropriate analysis results can be obtained.

[0143] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.
[0144] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0145] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0146] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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).
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 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.
[0154] 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.).
[0155] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0158] For example, the analysis unit, generation unit, assignment unit, acquisition unit, and feedback unit are implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the headset terminal 314 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the content of images and text. The generation unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the headset terminal 314 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12, and generates tags based on the analyzed information.

The acquisition unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the headset terminal 314 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12, and acquires the user's behavior history. The feedback unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and receives feedback from the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0159] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.

[0163] 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.
[0164] 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).
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.

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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.).
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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).

[0174] 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.
[0175] For example, the analysis unit, generation unit, assignment unit, acquisition unit, and feedback unit are implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the content of images and text. The generation unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12, and generates tags based on the analyzed information. The assignment unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and assigns the generated tags to products. The acquisition unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12, and acquires the user's behavior history. The feedback unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and receives feedback from the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.

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.
