For example, if the user is angry, the service provider will prioritize providing empathetic comments. By determining the order in which comments are provided based on the user's emotions, more appropriate comments can be provided. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can estimate the user's emotions and determine the order in which comments are provided using an AI model.

[0097] The service provider can select an appropriate delivery method based on the user's device information when providing comments. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the service provider will provide comments adapted to the screen size. For example, if the user is using a tablet, the service provider will provide comments optimized for a larger screen. For example, if the user is using a smartwatch, the service provider will provide concise and highly visible comments. This allows the service provider to select the optimal delivery method by considering the user's device information. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's device information into an AI model and select an appropriate delivery method.

[0098] The comment delivery unit can adjust the timing of comment delivery by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the comment delivery unit will provide comments related to that region. For example, if the user is traveling, the comment delivery unit will provide comments related to their travel destination. For example, if the user is at home, the comment delivery unit will provide comments related to their daily life. By taking into account the user's geographical location information, comments can be delivered at a more appropriate time. Some or all of the above processing in the comment delivery unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the comment delivery unit can input the user's geographical location information into an AI model to adjust the timing of delivery.

[0099] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0100] The analysis unit can also analyze audio data included in user posts. For example, if a post includes an audio message, the analysis unit uses speech recognition technology to convert the audio data into text and analyze its content. Furthermore, it can analyze the tone and speed of the voice to estimate the user's emotions. This makes it possible to generate appropriate comments even for posts that include audio data. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not.

[0101] The learning unit can also learn the commenting styles of the user's friends and followers on social media. For example, it can learn phrases and expressions frequently used by the user's friends and use them as a reference to generate comments. This allows it to provide comments that match the user's communication style with their friends and followers. Some or all of the above processing in the learning unit may be performed using AI or not.

[0102] The generation unit can also generate reactions to user posts. For example, it can automatically generate reactions such as "Like!" and "Heart" for posts. Furthermore, it can estimate the user's emotions and generate emotionally appropriate reactions, such as a "Heart" if positive emotions are estimated, or a "Sad Face" if negative emotions are estimated. This allows for richer communication by automatically generating not only comments but also reactions.

[0103] The service provider can adjust how comments are provided based on the battery level of the user's device. For example, if the battery level is low, a short comment is provided to conserve battery power. Conversely, if the battery level is sufficient, a detailed comment is provided. This enables the provision of optimal comments according to the status of the user's device. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, or it may not be performed using AI.

[0104] The analysis unit can also analyze background sounds included in user posts. For example, it can analyze background sounds in audio data included in posts to identify the type of ambient sound or music. This allows for a more accurate understanding of the atmosphere and situation of the post, and the generation of appropriate comments. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, or it may be performed without AI.

[0105] The learning unit can estimate the user's emotions and filter the training data based on those estimated emotions. For example, if the user has positive emotions, it will prioritize learning positive comments. Conversely, if the user has negative emotions, it will prioritize learning negative comments. This allows for the selection of training data according to the user's emotions, resulting in more appropriate comment generation.

[0106] The generation unit can adjust the tone of comments in response to user posts. For example, it can change the tone of comments according to the content of the post and the user's emotions, such as using a formal tone, a casual tone, or a humorous tone. This makes it possible to provide comments with the tone most appropriate to the user's post. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI or not.

[0107] The comment delivery unit can adjust the frequency of comments based on the user's past comment history. For example, if a user posts comments frequently, the frequency of comments will be increased. Conversely, if a user posts comments infrequently, the frequency will be decreased. This allows for the achievement of an optimal comment delivery frequency that matches the user's comment posting habits. Some or all of the above processing in the comment delivery unit may be performed using AI or not.

[0108] The analysis unit can also analyze the emojis and stamps included in user posts. For example, it can identify the types of emojis and stamps included in a post and estimate the emotions and intentions behind the post based on that. This makes it possible to generate appropriate comments even for posts that contain emojis and stamps. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, or it may be performed without using AI.

[0109] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and select the language of the comment based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, casual language will be used, and in formal situations, formal language will be used. This allows for the provision of comments in the most appropriate language according to the user's emotions and situation. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

[0110] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0111] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the article or image posted by the user. The analysis unit extracts the features of the text or image contained in the post and analyzes the content and image of the post using image recognition technology or text analysis technology. For example, if the posted image is a landscape photograph, the analysis unit extracts the features of the landscape and analyzes the text contained in the post using text analysis technology. Step 2: The learning unit learns the user's past comment style based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The learning unit learns the user's past comment history and learns phrases or expressions that the user uses frequently. For example, if the user frequently uses the phrase "Great!", this phrase will be learned and used in future comment generation. Step 3: The generation unit generates comments for a specific post based on the results learned by the learning unit. The generation unit generates comments related to current trends or topics and generates comments by estimating the user's sentiment. For example, if the post is related to a current trend, it generates comments related to that trend, and if it is estimated that the user is happy, it generates positive comments. Step 4: The provider unit provides the comment generated by the generator unit. The provider unit provides the generated comment to the user, allowing the user to post the comment. For example, if the generated comment is "What a beautiful view!", this comment is provided to the user, and the user can post the comment.

[0112] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0113] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. 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 with 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 from 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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0114] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0115] For example, the analysis unit acquires user posts and images using the camera 42 and microphone 38B of the smart device 14, and analyzes them using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The learning unit learns the user's past comment style using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The generation unit generates comments related to trends and topics using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The provision unit provides the user with the comments generated by the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. The correspondence between each unit and the device and control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.).

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] For example, the analysis unit acquires user posts and images using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and these are analyzed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The learning unit learns the user's past comment style using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The generation unit generates comments related to trends and topics using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The provision unit provides the user with the comments generated by the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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."

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
