The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI assistant for automating office work according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects business information related to the user's work and automatically performs routine data entry and report generation. Based on the user's business information, this system prioritizes emails and optimizes tasks and schedules. For example, if the user needs to enter data for expense reimbursement or inventory management, the AI assistant will do this automatically. This allows the user to concentrate on other important tasks. The AI assistant also analyzes the content of emails using natural language processing and determines their importance. This allows the user to prioritize checking important emails. Furthermore, the AI assistant manages task schedules using visual scheduling tools. For example, it uses calendars and Gantt charts to visually display the user's tasks and optimize the schedule. The AI assistant also estimates the user's emotions and optimizes the schedule based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the schedule can be adjusted to increase break times. Furthermore, the AI assistant optimizes the schedule based on the user's remaining tasks determined by the work being performed by a substitute department. For example, if the work being performed by a substitute department, that time can be allocated to other tasks. Furthermore, the system determines the user's schedule based on the content of emails that have been assigned priorities by the system. For example, if an email about an important meeting arrives, that meeting can be added to the schedule. This allows the AI assistant, which supports the automation of office tasks, to efficiently automate the user's work and optimize task management and scheduling.
[0029] The AI assistant for automating office work according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an agency unit, an assignment unit, and a scheduling unit. The collection unit collects business information related to the user's work. Business information includes, but is not limited to, work progress information, task details, and project status. The collection unit can use, for example, sensors or databases to automatically collect the user's business information. The collection unit can also collect business information based on user input. For example, the collection unit collects detailed task information entered by the user and stores it in a database. The agency unit performs tasks on behalf of the user, such as routine data entry or creating routine reports, based on the business information. For example, the agency unit can automatically enter data for expense reimbursement or inventory management. The agency unit can also automatically generate routine reports. For example, the agency unit can automatically create monthly reports or sales reports and provide them to the user. The assignment unit assigns priorities to emails received by the user based on the business information. The assignment unit can, for example, analyze the content of emails using natural language processing to determine their importance. Furthermore, the prioritization unit can assign priorities based on the sender's job title and urgency of emails. For example, it might prioritize emails from a supervisor and postpone promotional emails. The scheduling unit manages the user's tasks and optimizes the schedule based on work information. For example, the scheduling unit can manage task schedules using a visual scheduling tool. It can also estimate the user's emotions and optimize the schedule based on those emotions. For example, if the scheduling unit is stressed, it can adjust the schedule to increase break times. This enables the AI assistant for office work automation to efficiently automate the user's tasks and optimize task management and schedules.
[0030] The data collection unit collects business information related to the user's work. This business information includes, but is not limited to, work progress information, task details, and project status. The data collection unit can use sensors and databases to automatically collect user business information. Specifically, applications installed on the user's PC or smartphone can collect user operation history and input data in real time. Data can also be obtained from business management systems and project management tools used by the user. This allows the data collection unit to collect business information efficiently, saving the user the trouble of manual input. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also collect business information based on user input. For example, when a user enters detailed task information, that information can be saved in a database for later analysis and use. The data collection unit can also collect what the user says as text data using voice input and natural language processing technology. This allows users to provide business information by voice without relying on keyboard input. By combining these diverse means, the data collection unit can comprehensively collect user business information and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the entire system.
[0031] The proxy department performs tasks on behalf of users, such as routinely entering data or creating standardized reports based on business information. For example, the proxy department can automate data entry for expense reimbursement and inventory management. Specifically, in the case of expense reimbursement, when a user takes a photo of a receipt and uploads it to the system, the proxy department analyzes the image, extracts the necessary data, and enters it into the expense reimbursement system. In inventory management, it can automatically record product inbound and outbound information and update inventory status in real time. Furthermore, the proxy department can also automatically generate standardized reports. For example, the proxy department can automatically create and provide monthly reports and sales reports to users. This includes a process of generating reports according to a specific format based on data collected by the collection department. By utilizing AI-powered natural language generation technology, the content of reports can be automatically converted into text, eliminating the need for manual editing by users. As a result, the proxy department can reduce the workload of users and perform tasks efficiently.
[0032] The prioritization unit assigns priorities to emails delivered to the user based on business information. For example, the unit can analyze the content of emails using natural language processing to determine their importance. Specifically, it analyzes the email body and subject line, and scores the importance of emails by evaluating the frequency of keyword and phrase occurrences and context. The unit can also assign priorities based on the sender's job title and urgency. For example, emails from superiors or emails requiring urgent attention are given high priority, while promotional emails and general notification emails are given low priority. Furthermore, the unit can learn from the user's past email processing history and understand what types of emails the user tends to prioritize, enabling more accurate prioritization. In this way, the unit helps users process emails efficiently without missing important emails.
[0033] The scheduling unit manages user tasks and optimizes schedules based on business information. For example, the scheduling unit can manage task schedules using a visual scheduling tool. Specifically, it provides a calendar-style interface, allowing users to easily add tasks to their schedules via drag-and-drop. The scheduling unit can also estimate user emotions and optimize schedules based on these estimations. For instance, it analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone to detect signs of stress or fatigue. Based on this, if the user is feeling stressed, the scheduling unit can adjust the schedule to increase break times. Furthermore, the scheduling unit can suggest the optimal task order, considering task priorities and dependencies. This allows users to perform tasks efficiently and improve their work productivity. The scheduling unit can also collect user feedback and continuously improve its schedule optimization algorithms. This enables the scheduling unit to efficiently manage user tasks and provide optimal schedules.
[0034] The agency unit can perform data entry for expense reimbursement and inventory management. For example, the agency unit can automate data entry for expense reimbursement. For example, the agency unit can automatically enter expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals. The agency unit can also automate data entry for inventory management. For example, the agency unit can automatically manage the receipt and dispatch of goods and monitor inventory levels. Furthermore, the agency unit can also automate data entry for order management. For example, the agency unit can automatically place orders when inventory reaches a certain level. By automating data entry for expense reimbursement and inventory management, the burden on users can be reduced.

The assignment unit can also analyze the sentence structure of emails using grammatical analysis and determine their importance. Furthermore, the assignment unit can understand the meaning of the content of emails using semantic analysis and determine their importance. For example, the assignment unit can analyze the frequency and context of keywords contained in the content of emails and determine their importance. This allows the assignment unit to automatically determine the importance of emails and prioritize them, enabling users to check important emails first. Some or all of the above processing in the assignment unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the assignment unit can input the content of emails into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of the importance of the emails.
[0036] The scheduling unit can manage task schedules using graphical scheduling tools. For example, the scheduling unit can manage task schedules using a Gantt chart. For example, the scheduling unit can display project tasks in a Gantt chart and visually manage their progress. The scheduling unit can also manage task schedules using a calendar display. For example, the scheduling unit can display daily work tasks in a calendar and manage their schedules. Furthermore, the scheduling unit can also manage task schedules using a task board. For example, the scheduling unit can display tasks on a board and manage their progress. This allows users to intuitively manage task schedules using visual scheduling tools. Some or all of the above processes in the scheduling unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the scheduling unit can input task schedules into a generating AI and have the generating AI manage the schedules.
[0037] The scheduling unit can optimize the schedule based on the remaining tasks of the user, which are determined by the tasks performed by the proxy unit. For example, if the proxy unit handles expense reimbursement, the scheduling unit can allocate that time to other tasks. Similarly, if the proxy unit handles inventory management, the scheduling unit can allocate that time to other tasks. Furthermore, if the proxy unit creates a standardized report, the scheduling unit can allocate that time to other tasks.
[0038] The scheduling unit can set the user's schedule according to the content of emails to which priority has been assigned by the assignment unit. For example, if the scheduling unit receives an email about an important meeting, it can add that meeting to the schedule. The scheduling unit can also prioritize adding an urgent task to the schedule if it receives an email about that task. Furthermore, if the scheduling unit receives an email about the progress of a project, it can adjust the schedule based on that progress. This allows the user to prioritize important tasks by determining the schedule based on the content of emails. Some or all of the above processing in the scheduling unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the scheduling unit can input the data of emails to which priority has been assigned by the assignment unit into a generating AI and have the generating AI set the schedule.
[0039] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past work history and select an efficient data collection method.

For example, the prioritization unit can input email relevant literature data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the priority adjustment.
[0098] The scheduling unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the schedule display method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the scheduling unit can provide a simple and highly visible schedule display. If the user is relaxed, the scheduling unit can provide a detailed schedule display. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the scheduling unit can provide a concise schedule display. This allows for highly visible schedule management by adjusting the schedule display method according to the user's emotions.

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.

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.

[0153] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0154] 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.
[0155] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

The microphone 238 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.
[0158] 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).

[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.

[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.).
[0166] 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.

[0167] 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).

[0168] 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.
[0169] For example, the collection unit can collect user business information using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The collection unit can also collect business information using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The proxy unit can automatically input expense reimbursement and inventory management data using, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The proxy unit can also automatically generate standardized reports using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12.

The assignment unit can also assign priorities based on the sender's job title and urgency using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The scheduling unit can manage and optimize task schedules using, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The scheduling unit can also estimate the user's emotions using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and optimize the schedule. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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."
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
