[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. 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 novel generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a generating AI automatically creates novels and comics based on information input by the user. This novel generation system analyzes the input information, such as the user's preferred genre, word count, characters, and location, and automatically creates novels and comics based on that information. Furthermore, by specifying story details, the system can generate novels and comics that are closer to what the user wants to read. The generated novels and comics are provided to the user and sold at a low price. By purchasing the generated novels and comics, the user can obtain works that closely match their reading preferences. Additionally, the copyright of the generated works is transferred to the owner, and commercial use is permitted. This mechanism allows users to easily create novels and comics tailored to their preferences, lowering the barrier to creativity. For example, works can be generated for various purposes, such as picture books for birthday presents or autobiographies depicting one's own life. Thus, the novel generation system can automatically generate and provide novels and comics tailored to the user's preferences.

[0029] The novel generation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives information from the user, such as their preferred genre, word count, characters, and location. The reception unit allows the user to select genres such as mystery, romance, or science fiction. The reception unit also allows the user to set a range and limit on the number of characters to be entered. For example, a minimum and maximum number of characters can be specified. Furthermore, the reception unit allows the user to input information about characters. For example, information such as names, genders, and ages can be entered. The reception unit also allows the user to input information about locations. For example, a city name, country name, or fictional location can be specified. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information entered by the reception unit and automatically creates a novel or manga based on that analysis. The generation unit analyzes the input information using, for example, natural language processing technology or machine learning algorithms. The generation unit automatically creates a novel or manga using a generation algorithm. For example, the generation unit generates novels or manga using template-based generation or neural networks. The generation unit can also generate novels or manga based on story details specified by the user. For example, it generates based on detailed information such as plot, character settings, and background settings. The provider provides the novels and comics generated by the generation unit to the user. The provider can provide them in, for example, ebook format or print format. The provider can sell the generated novels and comics at a low price. For example, it can sell them by setting a price range or discount rate. The provider can transfer the copyright of the generated works to the owner. For example, it can clarify the type of copyright and the transfer procedure. The provider can use the generated works for commercial purposes. For example, it can use them for commercial purposes through sales, licensing, advertising revenue, etc. As a result, the novel generation system according to this embodiment can automatically generate and provide novels and comics tailored to the user's preferences.

[0030] The reception desk allows users to input information such as their preferred genre, word count, characters, and location. Specifically, users can choose from a variety of genres, including mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. This allows users to generate novels and comics in genres that suit their preferences. The reception desk can also set ranges and limits on the word count that users can input. For example, users can specify a maximum of 5,000 characters for short stories, 20,000 characters for novellas, and 50,000 characters or more for novels. Furthermore, the reception desk allows users to input detailed information about the characters. For example, they can input information such as name, gender, age, occupation, personality, and background. This allows users to create characters that match their image. Detailed information about locations can also be entered. For example, users can specify city names, country names, fictional locations, or specific place names and building names. This allows users to concretely define the setting of their story. The reception desk builds a database to centrally manage this information and pass it on to the generation department. The information entered by users is saved in real time and can be edited or modified as needed. This allows the reception department to respond to diverse user needs and collect information flexibly.

[0031] The generation unit uses generation AI to analyze information entered by the reception unit and automatically create novels and comics based on that analysis. Specifically, the generation unit uses natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms to analyze information such as genre, word count, characters, and location entered by the user. For example, the generation AI selects an appropriate writing style and story template based on the genre selected by the user. Furthermore, it adjusts the story's development and episode length based on the word count specified by the user. Based on the character information, it generates character dialogue and actions, clarifying their roles in the story. Based on the location information, it sets the stage and describes the background of the story. The generation unit integrates this information and generates novels and comics using template-based generation or neural networks. For example, template-based generation quickly generates novels and comics by embedding user information into pre-prepared story templates. On the other hand, generation using neural networks can generate more flexible and creative stories. The generation unit can also generate novels and comics based on detailed story information specified by the user. For example, it can depict the story's development and character growth based on detailed information such as plot, character settings, and background settings. This allows the generation unit to automatically produce high-quality novels and comics tailored to the user's preferences.

[0032] The service provider provides users with novels and comics generated by the generation service provider. Specifically, the service provider can provide the generated works in ebook format or print format.

[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0057] Step 1: The reception desk takes in information such as the user's preferred genre, word count, characters, and location. For example, the user can select a genre such as mystery, romance, or science fiction, and specify a minimum and maximum word count. They can also enter information such as the names, genders, and ages of the characters, as well as location information such as city names, country names, or fictional places. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information entered by the reception unit and automatically creates novels and comics based on that analysis. The generation unit analyzes the input information using natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms, and generates novels and comics using template-based generation and neural networks. For example, it generates based on detailed information such as plot, character settings, and background settings. Step 3: The provider provides the novels and comics generated by the generator to the users. The provider can provide them in ebook or print format and sell the generated novels and comics at a low price. Furthermore, the provider can transfer the copyright of the generated works to the owner and allow them to use them for commercial purposes through sales, licensing, advertising revenue, etc.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The novel generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a generating AI automatically creates novels and comics based on information input by the user. This novel generation system analyzes the input information, such as the user's preferred genre, word count, characters, and location, and automatically creates novels and comics based on that information. Furthermore, by specifying story details, the system can generate novels and comics that are closer to what the user wants to read. The generated novels and comics are provided to the user and sold at a low price. By purchasing the generated novels and comics, the user can obtain works that closely match their reading preferences. Additionally, the copyright of the generated works is transferred to the owner, and commercial use is permitted. This mechanism allows users to easily create novels and comics tailored to their preferences, lowering the barrier to creativity. For example, works can be generated for various purposes, such as picture books for birthday presents or autobiographies depicting one's own life. Thus, the novel generation system can automatically generate and provide novels and comics tailored to the user's preferences.

[0059] The novel generation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives information from the user, such as their preferred genre, word count, characters, and location. The reception unit allows the user to select genres such as mystery, romance, or science fiction. The reception unit also allows the user to set a range and limit on the number of characters to be entered. For example, a minimum and maximum number of characters can be specified. Furthermore, the reception unit allows the user to input information about characters. For example, information such as names, genders, and ages can be entered. The reception unit also allows the user to input information about locations. For example, a city name, country name, or fictional location can be specified. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information entered by the reception unit and automatically creates a novel or manga based on that analysis. The generation unit analyzes the input information using, for example, natural language processing technology or machine learning algorithms. The generation unit automatically creates a novel or manga using a generation algorithm. For example, the generation unit generates novels or manga using template-based generation or neural networks. The generation unit can also generate novels or manga based on story details specified by the user. For example, it generates based on detailed information such as plot, character settings, and background settings. The provider provides the novels and comics generated by the generation unit to the user. The provider can provide them in, for example, ebook format or print format. The provider can sell the generated novels and comics at a low price. For example, it can sell them by setting a price range or discount rate.

[0060] The reception desk allows users to input information such as their preferred genre, word count, characters, and location. Specifically, users can choose from a variety of genres, including mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. This allows users to generate novels and comics in genres that suit their preferences. The reception desk can also set ranges and limits on the word count that users can input. For example, users can specify a maximum of 5,000 characters for short stories, 20,000 characters for novellas, and 50,000 characters or more for novels. Furthermore, the reception desk allows users to input detailed information about the characters. For example, they can input information such as name, gender, age, occupation, personality, and background. This allows users to create characters that match their image. Detailed information about locations can also be entered. For example, users can specify city names, country names, fictional locations, or specific place names and building names. This allows users to concretely define the setting of their story. The reception desk builds a database to centrally manage this information and pass it on to the generation department. The information entered by users is saved in real time and can be edited or modified as needed. This allows the reception department to respond to diverse user needs and collect information flexibly.

[0061] The generation unit uses generation AI to analyze information entered by the reception unit and automatically create novels and comics based on that analysis. Specifically, the generation unit uses natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms to analyze information such as genre, word count, characters, and location entered by the user. For example, the generation AI selects an appropriate writing style and story template based on the genre selected by the user. Furthermore, it adjusts the story's development and episode length based on the word count specified by the user. Based on the character information, it generates character dialogue and actions, clarifying their roles in the story. Based on the location information, it sets the stage and describes the background of the story. The generation unit integrates this information and generates novels and comics using template-based generation or neural networks. For example, template-based generation quickly generates novels and comics by embedding user information into pre-prepared story templates. On the other hand, generation using neural networks can generate more flexible and creative stories. The generation unit can also generate novels and comics based on detailed story information specified by the user. For example, it can depict the story's development and character growth based on detailed information such as plot, character settings, and background settings.

By adjusting the input interface's colors and design based on the user's emotions, a more comfortable input experience can be provided.

[0093] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the emotional expression of the characters in the generated work based on those estimated emotions. For example, if the user is sad, the generated novel or comic will include more scenes where the characters express sadness. Furthermore, if the user is happy, the generated work will include more scenes where the characters express joy. The generation unit can also adjust the tone and theme of the story according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, it will generate a story with a calm tone, and if the user is excited, it will generate a story that emphasizes action and suspense elements. In this way, by adjusting the emotional expression of the characters and the tone of the story based on the user's emotions, it is possible to generate works that evoke a greater sense of empathy.

[0094] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the format of the content offered based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, it can offer a full-length novel or a detailed comic; if the user is in a hurry, it can offer a short novel or a concise comic. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the service provider can offer content in a visually stimulating format. The service provider can also adjust how the content is displayed according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is tired, it can offer a simple and easy-to-read display; if the user is focused, it can offer a display that includes detailed information. In this way, by adjusting the format and display method of the content offered based on the user's emotions, the service provider can offer more appropriate content.

[0095] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and suggest genres of content based on those emotions. For example, if the user is sad, it can suggest genres with emotionally moving stories; if the user is happy, it can suggest genres such as comedy or romance. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, it can suggest genres with a calm tone. The service provider can also suggest themes and topics of content according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is excited, it can suggest themes with action or suspense elements; if the user is calm, it can suggest topics with deep themes or complex storylines. By suggesting genres and themes of content based on the user's emotions, the service provider can provide more appropriate content.

[0096] The distribution team can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the promotional methods for the content based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, they can provide a promotional video with a calm tone; if the user is excited, they can provide a visually stimulating promotional video. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the distribution team can provide a promotional method that emphasizes an emotionally moving story. The distribution team can also adjust the timing and frequency of promotions according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is busy, they can reduce the frequency of promotions; if the user has free time, they can increase the frequency. By adjusting the promotional methods for the content based on the user's emotions, more effective promotions can be achieved.

[0097] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0098] Step 1: The reception desk takes in information such as the user's preferred genre, word count, characters, and location. For example, the user can select a genre such as mystery, romance, or science fiction, and specify a minimum and maximum word count. They can also enter information such as the names, genders, and ages of the characters, as well as location information such as city names, country names, or fictional places. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information entered by the reception unit and automatically creates novels and comics based on that analysis. The generation unit analyzes the input information using natural language processing technology and machine learning algorithms, and generates novels and comics using template-based generation and neural networks. For example, it generates based on detailed information such as plot, character settings, and background settings. Step 3: The provider provides the novels and comics generated by the generator to the users. The provider can provide them in ebook or print format and sell the generated novels and comics at a low price. Furthermore, the provider can transfer the copyright of the generated works to the owner and allow them to use them for commercial purposes through sales, licensing, advertising revenue, etc.

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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, generation unit, and provision 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, where the user inputs information such as genre and character count. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where it analyzes the input information using a generation AI and automatically creates a novel or comic. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the output device 40 of the robot 414, where it provides the generated novel or comic to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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."

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.
