For example, the transportation management unit can suggest the most suitable mode of transportation based on the user's interests on social media. For example, the transportation management unit can suggest a mode of transportation that fits the user's budget based on their social media activity. In this way, by analyzing social media activity, the system can provide the user with the most suitable mode of transportation. Some or all of the above processes in the transportation management unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the transportation management unit can input user social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the mode of transportation.

[0096] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0097] The reception desk can propose travel plans that take the user's health condition into consideration. For example, if a user has a pre-existing medical condition, the reception desk will suggest destinations and activities that take that condition into consideration. For example, if a user is elderly, the reception desk will prioritize suggesting barrier-free facilities and transportation options. For example, if a user has allergies, the reception desk can also suggest allergy-friendly restaurants and accommodations. By proposing travel plans that are tailored to the user's health condition, they can enjoy their trip with peace of mind.

[0098] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the travel plan options based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the generation unit will suggest relaxing destinations and activities. If the user is excited, for example, the generation unit will suggest plans that include adventure and exciting activities. If the user is sad, for example, the generation unit can also suggest destinations that are for healing and refreshment. By suggesting travel plans that match the user's emotions, a more satisfying travel experience can be provided.

[0099] The suggestion department can propose customized travel plans based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if the user enjoys outdoor activities, the suggestion department can propose a plan that includes hiking and camping. If the user is interested in history and culture, the suggestion department can propose a plan that visits historical sites and museums. If the user enjoys gourmet food, the suggestion department can propose a plan that explores local specialties and famous restaurants. In this way, by proposing travel plans that match the user's hobbies and interests, a more fulfilling travel experience can be provided.

[0100] The transportation management unit can estimate the user's emotions and select a mode of transportation based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the transportation management unit will suggest a comfortable mode of transportation. If the user is in a hurry, the transportation management unit will suggest the fastest mode of transportation. If the user is excited, the transportation management unit can also suggest an adventurous mode of transportation. By suggesting modes of transportation that match the user's emotions, it is possible to provide a more comfortable and satisfying travel experience.

[0101] The generation unit can analyze a user's past travel history and suggest new travel plans based on places and experiences they have visited in the past. For example, the generation unit can suggest nearby tourist attractions to places the user has visited in the past. For example, the generation unit can suggest plans that include activities the user has enjoyed in the past. For example, the generation unit can suggest new recommended accommodations and restaurants based on accommodations and restaurants the user has used in the past. This allows for the provision of more personalized travel plans by utilizing the user's past travel history.

[0102] The suggestion function can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way it presents suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the suggestion function will provide suggestions with detailed explanations. If the user is in a hurry, for example, the suggestion function will provide concise suggestions that get straight to the point. If the user is excited, for example, the suggestion function may also provide visually appealing suggestions. By adjusting the way suggestions are presented according to the user's emotions, more effective suggestions can be provided.

[0103] The reception desk can suggest optimal travel destinations and activities by considering the user's geographical location. For example, the reception desk can suggest travel destinations close to the user's current location. For example, the reception desk can automatically set the optimal departure point based on the user's geographical location. For example, the reception desk can also suggest the optimal mode of transportation based on the user's current location. In this way, by considering the user's geographical location, it is possible to provide more relevant information.

[0104] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how the plan is presented based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the generation unit will generate a plan with detailed explanations. If the user is in a hurry, for example, the generation unit will generate a concise plan that gets straight to the point. If the user is excited, for example, the generation unit can also generate a visually appealing plan. By adjusting how the plan is presented according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide a more satisfying travel plan.

[0105] The suggestion department can analyze users' social media activity, obtain relevant information, and make suggestions. For example, it can suggest the next travel destination based on the travel destinations the user has shared on social media. For example, it can suggest the optimal travel plan based on the user's interests on social media. For example, it can also suggest a travel plan that fits the user's budget based on their social media activity. In this way, by analyzing users' social media activity, it is possible to provide more relevant information.

[0106] The transportation management unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of selecting transportation based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the transportation management unit will suggest a comfortable mode of transportation. If the user is in a hurry, the transportation management unit will suggest the fastest mode of transportation. If the user is excited, the transportation management unit can also suggest an adventurous mode of transportation. By suggesting transportation methods that match the user's emotions, it is possible to provide a more comfortable and satisfying travel experience.

[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0108] Step 1: The reception desk enters the basic travel information. This information includes the destination, itinerary, budget, and number of participants. The reception desk saves the information entered by the user to a database and uses it for subsequent processing. Step 2: The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and generates travel plans. Using generation AI, the generation unit proposes five optimal travel plans based on the user's input information. In addition to general sightseeing plans, the generation unit also generates plans that include unique tourist destinations and special experiences. Step 3: The suggestion unit proposes gourmet information and activities based on the plan generated by the generation unit. The suggestion unit can propose multiple gourmet information and activities based on the user's preferences and can also make the most suitable suggestions for the user based on past data. Step 4: The Transportation Management Department manages information related to transportation. The Transportation Management Department manages the settings for private cars and rental cars, manages reservation methods and usage conditions, and proposes the most suitable transportation method to users.

The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0153] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0154] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0155] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0156] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0157] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0158] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0159] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). 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.

[0160] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, generation unit, proposal unit, and transportation management unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and stores the basic travel information entered by the user by voice in the database 24. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates an optimal travel plan using generation AI. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and presents gourmet information and activities to the user by voice. The transportation management unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and manages the settings for private cars and rental cars. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0162] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0163] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0164] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0165] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0166] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0167] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0168] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0169] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0170] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0171] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0172] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0173] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0174] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0175] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0176] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0177] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

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.
