For example, if a user says, "What's the news today?", the speech recognition unit can convert that into text and search for and display the latest relevant news articles. Similarly, if a user says, "Tell me about nearby restaurants," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and provide information about nearby restaurants. Furthermore, if a user says, "What time is the next train?", the speech recognition unit can analyze that and display the next train schedule. This improves convenience by providing relevant information based on the user's speech.

[0091] The speech recognition unit can set appropriate reminders based on the user's speech. For example, if a user says, "Remind me of tomorrow's meeting," the speech recognition unit converts the content into text and sets a reminder on the calendar. Also, if a user says, "Tell me when to take my medicine," the speech recognition unit analyzes the content and sets a reminder at the specified time. Furthermore, if a user says, "Remind me of the next payment deadline," the speech recognition unit analyzes the content and sets a reminder for the payment deadline. In this way, by setting reminders based on the user's speech, important appointments and tasks can be managed without being forgotten.

[0092] The speech recognition unit can estimate the user's emotions and recommend appropriate music based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can recommend relaxing music. If the user is in a cheerful mood, it can recommend upbeat music. If the user is sad, it can recommend soothing music. In this way, by recommending appropriate music according to the user's emotions, the user's mood can be improved. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. The 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 speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input the user's voice data into the generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

[0093] The speech recognition unit can provide appropriate exercise advice based on the user's speech. For example, if a user says, "Tell me today's exercise menu," the speech recognition unit can convert that into text and suggest an appropriate exercise menu. Also, if a user says, "Tell me how to stretch," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and explain how to stretch. Furthermore, if a user says, "Tell me some running tips," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and provide running tips. In this way, by providing exercise advice based on the user's speech, it can support health management.

[0094] The speech recognition unit can provide appropriate cooking recipes based on the user's speech. For example, if a user says, "Tell me a simple dinner recipe," the speech recognition unit can convert that into text and suggest a simple dinner recipe. Similarly, if a user says, "Tell me a healthy breakfast recipe," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and provide a healthy breakfast recipe. Furthermore, if a user says, "Tell me a dessert recipe," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and provide a dessert recipe. In this way, by providing cooking recipes based on the user's speech, it can enrich their eating habits.

[0095] The speech recognition unit can estimate the user's emotions and, based on the estimated emotions, suggest appropriate relaxation methods. For example, if the user is stressed, it can suggest deep breathing or meditation. If the user is tired, it can suggest light stretching or massage. If the user is anxious, it can suggest relaxing aromatherapy. In this way, by suggesting appropriate relaxation methods according to the user's emotions, it can support the user's mental and physical health. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, with an emotion engine or generative AI. The 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 speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input the user's voice data into the generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

[0096] The speech recognition unit can provide appropriate learning advice based on the user's speech. For example, if a user says, "Tell me how to study English," the speech recognition unit can convert that into text and suggest ways to study English. Similarly, if a user says, "Tell me some tips for solving math problems," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and provide tips for solving math problems. Furthermore, if a user says, "Tell me how to study history," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and provide methods for studying history. By providing learning advice based on the user's speech, learning efficiency can be improved.

[0097] The speech recognition unit can estimate the user's emotions and provide appropriate mental health support based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest ways to manage stress. If the user is feeling anxious, it can provide advice to alleviate anxiety. If the user is feeling down, it can suggest ways to improve their mood. In this way, by providing appropriate mental health support according to the user's emotions, the system can support the user's mental well-being. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input the user's voice data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

[0098] The speech recognition unit can suggest appropriate travel plans based on the user's speech. For example, if a user says, "Tell me some recommended travel destinations for my next vacation," the speech recognition unit can convert that into text and suggest recommended destinations. Similarly, if a user says, "Tell me some nearby tourist spots I can visit on the weekend," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and suggest nearby tourist spots. Furthermore, if a user says, "Tell me some recommended places for a family trip," the speech recognition unit can analyze that and suggest places suitable for a family trip. In this way, by suggesting travel plans based on the user's speech, the system can support travel planning.

[0099] The speech recognition unit can estimate the user's emotions and, based on the estimated emotions, suggest an appropriate reading list. For example, if the user wants to relax, it can recommend relaxing books. If the user wants to feel energized, it can recommend energizing books. If the user wants to deepen their knowledge, it can recommend academic books. This improves the reading experience by suggesting an appropriate reading list according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. The 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 speech recognition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the speech recognition unit can input the user's voice data into the generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

[0100] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0101] Step 1: The speech recognition unit accurately converts the user's speech into text. For example, if the user says, "What's the weather like today?", the content will be displayed as text. The speech recognition unit uses AI to analyze the content of the speech and perform accurate text conversion. Step 2: The auto-completion unit automatically completes the text generated by the speech recognition unit, taking grammar and context into consideration. For example, if the user enters "What are my plans for tomorrow?", the auto-completion unit will complete it to "What are your plans for tomorrow?". The auto-completion unit uses AI to analyze grammar and context and perform appropriate completion. Step 3: The translation unit translates the text completed by the auto-completion unit into multiple languages. For example, if the user enters "こんにちは" (konnichiwa), the translation unit translates it as "Hello". The translation unit uses AI to translate text into other languages.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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.

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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.).

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] For example, the speech recognition unit detects the user's speech using the microphone 238 of the robot 414, the control unit 46A analyzes the speech data, and the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 performs high-precision text conversion. The automatic completion unit analyzes grammar and context using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and performs appropriate completion. The translation unit translates text into another language using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The styling advice unit suggests appropriate fashion items based on the user's input using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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."

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

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.
