Specifically, text inquiries can be entered by the user through web forms or chatbots. Voice inquiries can be received when the user speaks via telephone or voice assistant and converted to text using speech recognition technology. Image inquiries can be received when the user uploads photos or screenshots and converted to text using image analysis technology. This allows the reception desk to accept inquiries in various formats, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the reception desk can also collect basic user information and contextual information when receiving inquiries. For example, information such as the user's name, contact information, and the circumstances of the inquiry can be collected and used for subsequent analysis and providing answers. This allows the reception department to receive user inquiries efficiently and accurately, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0031] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze questions received by the reception unit. Analysis is performed using methods such as text analysis, data mining, and machine learning algorithms, but is not limited to these examples. For instance, the analysis unit uses text analysis techniques to analyze the content of questions. It can also use data mining techniques to analyze question patterns. Furthermore, it can use machine learning algorithms to classify questions. Specifically, it uses text analysis techniques to extract keywords from questions and identify their intent and subject. Data mining techniques are used to extract useful information from large amounts of data, analyzing patterns based on past question data and grouping similar questions. Machine learning algorithms are used to learn from data and classify or predict questions. For example, generative AI uses natural language processing techniques to understand the context of a question and generate an appropriate answer. Generative AI has previously learned from a large amount of text data, enabling it to perform highly accurate analysis of user questions. Furthermore, based on the analysis results, the analysis unit searches for relevant information and past answers to prepare to provide the optimal answer. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze user questions and build a foundation for providing appropriate answers.

[0032] The service provider provides answers based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. Answers are provided in various formats, including, but are not limited to, text, audio, and image formats. For example, the service provider can provide answers in text format. It can also provide answers in audio format. Furthermore, it can provide answers in image format. Specifically, the service provider generates answers in text format based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. Audio answers are generated using text-to-speech technology. Image answers are generated using text-to-image technology. For example, the service provider uses generative AI to generate the optimal answer to a user's question. The generative AI leverages a pre-trained knowledge base to generate appropriate answers to user questions. Additionally, the service provider can customize the format and content of the answers according to the user's preferences and circumstances. For example, if a user is visually impaired, an audio answer can be prioritized. The service provider can also collect user feedback after providing answers to continuously improve the accuracy and quality of the responses. This allows the service provider to provide users with quick and appropriate answers, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0033] The advertising department can display advertisements. For example, the advertising department can display banner ads. The advertising department can also display text ads. The advertising department can also display video ads. For example, the advertising department can display banner ads at the top of the chat room list. Text ads are displayed to provide information related to the user's questions. Video ads are displayed to attract the user's interest. This allows the advertising department to gain economic benefits by displaying advertisements. Some or all of the above processes in the advertising department may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the advertising department can have generative AI select and display the most suitable advertisement based on the user's questions.

[0034] The measurement unit can measure the user's dwell time. For example, the measurement unit measures the time spent on a page. The measurement unit can also measure session time. The measurement unit can also measure active time. For example, the measurement unit measures the time a user spends in the chat room list. Session time measures the time from when the user accesses the chat room list until they leave. Active time measures the time the user is actually performing actions in the chat room list. By measuring the user's dwell time, it is possible to understand the user's engagement. Some or all of the above processing in the measurement unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without using a generative AI. For example, the measurement unit can input user dwell time data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the dwell time measurement.

[0035] The service provider can provide appropriate answers to user questions. For example, the service provider can provide accurate answers to user questions. The service provider can also provide highly relevant answers to user questions. The service provider can also provide answers that satisfy users. For example, the service provider can provide accurate information to user questions. Highly relevant answers provide the most relevant information to user questions. Answers that satisfy users provide information that satisfies the user in response to their questions. By providing appropriate answers to user questions, user satisfaction can be improved. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the service provider can have a generative AI generate and provide answers to user questions.

[0036] The reception desk can analyze the user's past question history and select the most suitable reception method. For example, the reception desk can automatically display questions that the user has frequently asked in the past as suggestions. The reception desk can also prioritize suggesting reception methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. The reception desk can also predict and suggest reception methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past question history. For example, the reception desk can extract questions that the user has frequently asked in the past from a database and automatically display them as suggestions. By prioritizing suggestion of reception methods that the user has used in the past, user convenience is improved. By predicting and suggesting reception methods to be used during specific time periods, the system can efficiently receive user inquiries. This allows the system to select the most suitable reception method by analyzing the user's past question history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past question history data into a generative AI and have the generative AI select the most suitable reception method.

[0037] The reception unit can filter questions based on the user's current situation and areas of interest when receiving them. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving questions relevant to the user's current situation (e.g., traveling). The reception unit can also filter and receive relevant questions based on the user's areas of interest (e.g., health, finance). The reception unit can also prioritize receiving relevant questions based on the user's current activity (e.g., shopping). For example, if the user is traveling, the reception unit will prioritize receiving questions related to the travel destination. Based on the user's areas of interest, it will prioritize receiving questions related to health. If the user is shopping, it will prioritize receiving questions related to shopping. This allows the reception unit to receive more relevant questions by filtering them based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's current situation and areas of interest data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the filtering of questions.

[0038] The reception desk can prioritize receiving inquiries that are highly relevant by considering the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception desk will prioritize receiving inquiries related to that region. If the user is traveling, the reception desk can also prioritize receiving inquiries related to their travel destination. If the user is in a specific facility (e.g., a hospital or bank), the reception desk can also prioritize receiving inquiries related to that facility. For example, if the reception desk is in a specific region, it will prioritize receiving inquiries related to that region. If the user is traveling, it will prioritize receiving inquiries related to their travel destination. If the user is in a specific facility, it will prioritize receiving inquiries related to that facility. This allows the reception desk to prioritize receiving inquiries that are highly relevant by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's geographical location data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the filtering of inquiries.

[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving a question and accept relevant questions. For example, the reception unit can prioritize questions related to topics that the user frequently mentions on social media. The reception unit can also adjust the timing of question acceptance based on the user's social media activity times. The reception unit can also prioritize questions based on the user's social media friendships. For example, the reception unit can prioritize questions related to topics that the user frequently mentions on social media. The timing of question acceptance can be adjusted based on the user's social media activity times. The reception unit prioritizes questions based on the user's social media friendships. This allows the reception unit to prioritize questions by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not using generative AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform question filtering.

[0040] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the question during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis for questions of high importance. For example, the analysis unit can perform a concise analysis for questions of low importance. For example, the analysis unit can perform an analysis with a moderate level of detail for questions of medium importance. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis for questions of high importance. For questions of low importance, it can perform a concise analysis. For questions of medium importance, it can perform an analysis with a moderate level of detail. By adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the question, more appropriate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generating AI, or without using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input question importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.

[0041] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the question during analysis.

[0124] 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.).

[0125] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.

[0126] 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.

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.

[0145] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0146] 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.

[0147] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

[0148] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0149] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0150] 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).

[0151] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0152] 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.

[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 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, analysis unit, provision unit, advertising unit, and measurement 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 control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives user inquiries. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the inquiries using generated AI. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides answers based on the analysis results. The advertising unit is implemented by the display of the robot 414 and displays advertisements. The measurement unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and measures the user's stay time. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example 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.

[0178] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
