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 financial planning system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system provided in the form of a monthly or annual subscription. This system provides the following services by having the user input the necessary information and having a generating AI analyze that information: automatic household budget management, goal setting and simulation, investment and insurance advice (which can also be considered as a premium plan), cash flow forecasting, real-time market analysis and investment plan formulation (which can also be considered as a premium plan). For example, if the user inputs their monthly income and expenses, the generating AI will automatically create a household budget and display the balance of income and expenses. If the user sets a goal of "saving 1 million yen in 5 years," the generating AI will calculate the monthly savings amount and perform a simulation to achieve the goal. If the user inputs "I want to invest with low risk," the generating AI will suggest appropriate investment products. If the user inputs "I'm worried about next month's cash flow," the generating AI will predict next month's income and expenses and provide cash flow advice. If the user inputs "I want to create an investment plan based on the current market situation," the generating AI will analyze market data in real time and suggest the optimal investment plan. This service allows users to gain a detailed understanding of their financial situation and create an optimal financial plan. In particular, by utilizing AI-generated data, sophisticated financial planning becomes possible even without specialized knowledge, enabling users to achieve financial freedom and peace of mind. As a result, the financial planning system can gain a detailed understanding of the user's financial situation and provide an optimal financial plan.
[0029] The financial planning system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a display unit, a simulation unit, an advice unit, a forecasting unit, and an analysis unit. The data collection unit collects the user's income and expenditure data. For example, the data collection unit automatically collects income and expenditure data entered by the user. The data collection unit can also acquire transaction data from bank accounts and credit cards. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also collect data entered manually by the user. For example, the data collection unit provides a form for the user to enter their monthly income and expenditure and collects that data. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and creates a household budget. For example, the analysis unit calculates the monthly balance of income and expenditure based on the income and expenditure data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can classify the income and expenditure data by category and create a detailed household budget. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also predict future income and expenditure based on past data. For example, the analysis unit predicts next month's income and expenditure based on past income and expenditure data. The display unit displays the household budget created by the analysis unit. The display unit, for example, displays the household budget in a user-friendly format. The display unit can also visually display the household budget using graphs and charts. Furthermore, the display unit can display the household budget in a user-customized format. For example, the display unit can display income and expenses by categories selected by the user. The simulation unit performs simulations based on goals set by the user. For example, the simulation unit calculates the monthly savings amount based on the user's savings goal. The simulation unit can also perform investment simulations based on the user's investment goal. Furthermore, the simulation unit can perform expense reduction simulations based on the user's expense reduction goal. For example, if the user sets a goal of "saving 1 million yen in 5 years," the simulation unit calculates the monthly savings amount and performs a simulation to achieve that goal. The advice unit provides investment and insurance advice based on the results obtained by the simulation unit. For example, the advice unit suggests the optimal investment product based on the user's financial situation.The advisory unit can also suggest appropriate insurance products based on the user's risk tolerance. Furthermore, the advisory unit can provide specific advice based on the user's goals. For example, if the user inputs "I want to invest with reduced risk," the advisory unit will suggest appropriate investment products. The forecasting unit predicts cash flow based on the advice provided by the advisory unit. For example, the forecasting unit predicts future cash flow based on the user's income and expenditure data. The forecasting unit can also perform cash flow simulations based on the user's goals. Furthermore, the forecasting unit can assess cash flow risk based on the user's financial situation. For example, if the user inputs "I'm worried about cash flow next month," the forecasting unit will predict next month's income and expenses and provide cash flow advice. The analysis unit analyzes market data in real time based on the results obtained by the forecasting unit and formulates investment plans. For example, the analysis unit collects market data in real time and proposes the optimal investment plan. Furthermore, the analysis unit can customize investment plans based on the user's investment goals. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust investment plans based on the user's risk tolerance. For example, when a user inputs "I want to create an investment plan based on the current market situation," the analysis unit analyzes market data in real time and proposes the optimal investment plan. This allows the financial planning system according to this embodiment to gain a detailed understanding of the user's financial situation and provide the most suitable financial plan.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user income and expenditure data. For example, it automatically collects income and expenditure data entered by the user. The data collection unit can also retrieve bank account and credit card transaction data. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect data entered manually by the user. For example, the data collection unit provides a form for the user to enter their monthly income and expenditure, and collects that data. The data collection unit centrally manages the data entered by the user and has functions to detect duplicates and errors to maintain data integrity. For example, the data collection unit displays a warning and prompts correction if the user enters the same transaction multiple times. The data collection unit can also update data in real time by using APIs to automatically retrieve bank account and credit card transaction data. This saves users the trouble of manually entering data. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also obtain additional information from external data sources to supplement the data entered manually by the user. For example, the data collection unit can automatically retrieve price information and store information for related products for the expenditure data entered by the user, and perform detailed expenditure analysis. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and accurately collect user income and expenditure data, improving the overall data quality of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and creates a household budget. For example, the analysis unit calculates the monthly balance of income and expenses based on income and expense data. The analysis unit can also categorize income and expense data to create a detailed household budget. Furthermore, the analysis unit can predict future income and expenses based on past data. For example, the analysis unit predicts next month's income and expenses based on past income and expense data. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze data and learn the user's income and expense patterns. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's income and expense trends and detect abnormal patterns and irregular expenses. This allows the analysis unit to provide specific advice to the user to reduce unnecessary expenses. In addition, the analysis unit creates a dashboard to visually display the user's financial situation based on the collected data. The dashboard displays graphs and charts of income and expenses, the monthly balance of income and expenses, and the percentage of expenses by category, allowing the user to understand their financial situation at a glance. Furthermore, the analysis unit also has a function to evaluate the user's progress toward their goals and update the progress in real time. For example, the system displays the user's current savings amount and the remaining time until the savings goal is achieved, supporting the user in taking planned actions towards their goal. This allows the analytics unit to analyze the user's financial situation in detail and support effective household budget management.
[0032] The display unit shows the household budget created by the analysis unit. The display unit displays the budget in a user-friendly format, for example. It can also visually display the budget using graphs and charts. Furthermore, the display unit can display the budget in a user-customized format. For example, it can display income and expenses by categories selected by the user. The display unit utilizes the latest web technologies to create an intuitive and user-friendly user interface. Specifically, it employs responsive design to ensure comfortable viewing on different devices such as smartphones and tablets. The display unit also provides interactive graphs and charts, allowing users to click on data to view detailed information or filter by specific periods or categories. Additionally, the display unit offers the ability to customize the display format to the user's preferences. For example, users can choose to display income and expense data monthly, weekly, or daily, or highlight specific categories or periods. This allows users to gain a more detailed understanding of their financial situation and manage their household finances effectively. The display unit also includes a function to visually display the progress towards user-set goals. For example, it can display the current savings amount and progress towards a savings goal, supporting users in taking planned action towards their goals. This makes the display a powerful tool for users to intuitively understand their financial situation and manage their household finances effectively.
[0033] The simulation unit performs simulations based on goals set by the user. For example, the simulation unit calculates the monthly savings amount based on the user's savings goal. The simulation unit can also perform investment simulations based on the user's investment goal. Furthermore, the simulation unit can perform expense reduction simulations based on the user's expense reduction goal. For example, if the user sets "I want to save 1 million yen in 5 years," the simulation unit will calculate the monthly savings amount and perform a simulation to achieve that goal. The simulation unit uses AI to simulate multiple scenarios and propose the optimal plan. Specifically, it performs simulations that take into account different economic conditions and market conditions based on the user's income, expenses, savings, and investment data. For example, it considers economic growth rates, inflation rates, and stock market fluctuations to propose the optimal savings and investment plans for the goals set by the user. The simulation unit also provides a function to compare multiple scenarios for the goals set by the user. For example, it compares the simulation results when different savings and investment amounts are set, helping the user select the optimal plan. Furthermore, the simulation unit also features a function that updates the progress towards the user's set goals in real time and visually displays the path to achieving those goals. This allows users to act systematically towards their goals. The simulation unit is a powerful tool to support users in achieving their financial goals and plays a crucial role in enabling users to create effective financial plans.
[0034] The advisory department provides investment and insurance advice based on the results obtained by the simulation department. For example, the advisory department can suggest the optimal investment product based on the user's financial situation. It can also suggest appropriate insurance products based on the user's risk tolerance. Furthermore, the advisory department can provide specific advice based on the user's goals. For example, if the user inputs "I want to invest with reduced risk," the advisory department will suggest appropriate investment products. The advisory department uses AI to analyze the user's financial data and provide advice best suited to individual needs. Specifically, it creates a risk profile based on the user's income, expenses, savings, and investment data, and suggests investment and insurance products according to the user's risk tolerance. The advisory department also has a function to provide specific action plans to help the user achieve their goals. For example, it can suggest specific monthly savings and investment amounts for a savings goal set by the user, clearly showing the steps to achieve the goal. Furthermore, the advisory department also provides a function to collect user feedback and continuously improve the advice. For example, if the user inputs feedback on the advice provided, the AI learns from that feedback and reflects it in future advice. This allows the advisory department to provide personalized advice tailored to the user's needs and support them in creating effective financial plans. The advisory department plays a crucial role in helping users achieve their financial goals and serves as a powerful tool for users to manage their finances with confidence.
[0035] The forecasting unit predicts cash flow based on advice provided by the advisory unit. For example, the forecasting unit predicts future cash flow based on the user's income and expenditure data. The forecasting unit can also perform cash flow simulations based on the user's goals. Furthermore, the forecasting unit can assess cash flow risks based on the user's financial situation. For example, if the user inputs "I'm worried about next month's cash flow," the forecasting unit will predict next month's income and expenses and provide cash flow advice. The forecasting unit uses AI to analyze the user's income and expenditure data and predict future cash flow with high accuracy. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to learn the user's income and expenditure patterns and predict future fluctuations in income and expenses. The forecasting unit also has the function to simulate different scenarios and propose the optimal cash flow plan. For example, it compares multiple scenarios for the user's set goals and helps the user select the best plan. Furthermore, the forecasting unit assesses cash flow risks based on the user's financial situation and provides specific advice for risk mitigation. For example, the forecasting section proposes savings plans to help users prepare for future income decreases or expenses increases, and suggests measures to minimize risk. In this way, the forecasting section supports users in systematically managing their future finances and managing their finances with peace of mind. The forecasting section plays a crucial role in helping users achieve their financial goals and is a powerful tool for effective financial management.
[0036] The analysis department analyzes market data in real time based on the results obtained by the forecasting department and formulates investment plans. For example, the analysis department collects market data in real time and proposes the optimal investment plan. The analysis department can also customize investment plans based on the user's investment goals. Furthermore, the analysis department can adjust investment plans based on the user's risk tolerance. For example, if a user inputs "I want to create an investment plan based on the current market situation," the analysis department will analyze market data in real time and propose the optimal investment plan. The analysis department uses AI to analyze market data and formulate the optimal plan for the user's investment goals. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to analyze past market data and current market trends and predict future market trends. The analysis department also simulates different investment scenarios and proposes the optimal investment plan according to the user's risk tolerance. For example, if a user desires low-risk investments, the analysis department will construct a portfolio centered on low-risk investment products and optimize the balance between risk and return. If a user desires high-risk, high-return investments, the analysis department will select high-growth investment products to maximize returns. Furthermore, the analytics department also has the capability to monitor market data in real time and adjust investment plans. For example, it can quickly review investment plans in response to rapid market fluctuations or changes in economic conditions and provide users with appropriate advice. In this way, the analytics department supports users in flexibly responding to market fluctuations and executing optimal investment strategies. The analytics department plays a crucial role in supporting users in achieving their investment goals and is a powerful tool for users to develop effective investment plans.
[0037] The data collection unit can analyze a user's past income and expenditure patterns and select the optimal data collection method. For example, if the data collection unit analyzes a user's past income and expenditure data and finds that income is concentrated at the end of the month, it will concentrate data collection at the end of the month. The data collection unit can also analyze a user's past expenditure patterns and find that expenditures are high on specific days of the week, and collect data on those days. Furthermore, if the income is irregular, the data collection unit can analyze a user's past income and expenditure patterns and collect data at the time the income is generated. For example, if the data collection unit analyzes a user's past income and expenditure data and finds that income is concentrated at the end of the month, it will concentrate data collection at the end of the month. The data collection unit can also analyze a user's past expenditure patterns and find that expenditures are high on specific days of the week, and collect data on those days. The data collection unit can also analyze a user's past income and expenditure patterns and find that income is irregular, and collect data at the time the income is generated. By analyzing past income and expenditure patterns, the optimal data collection method can be selected, enabling efficient data collection. Some or all of the processing described above in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past income and expenditure data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0038] The data collection unit can filter income and expenditure data based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is traveling, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting travel-related expenditure data. It can also prioritize collecting expenditure data related to a new hobby if the user has started one. Furthermore, if the user is planning to move, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting moving-related expenditure data. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant data by filtering the data based on the user's living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data on the user's living situation and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0039] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location when collecting income and expenditure data. For example, if the user lives in a specific region, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of data related to the cost of living in that region. Furthermore, if the user is on a business trip, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of expenditure data at the business trip location. Additionally, if the user is planning to move, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of data related to the cost of living at the new location. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect highly relevant data.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze a user's social media activity and collect relevant data when collecting income and expenditure data. For example, if a user indicates on social media that they will be attending a specific event, the data collection unit can collect expenditure data related to that event. It can also collect expenditure data related to a hobby if a user indicates on social media that they have started a new hobby. Furthermore, if a user indicates on social media that they will be traveling to a specific region, the data collection unit can collect travel-related expenditure data for that region. This allows for the efficient collection of relevant data by analyzing a user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect the relevant data.
[0041] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the collected data. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis on important income and expenditure data and a concise analysis on other data. It can also perform a detailed analysis on data related to user-set goals and a concise analysis on other data. Furthermore, it can perform a detailed analysis on data related to the user's areas of interest and a concise analysis on other data. This allows for efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance of the collected data into a generating AI and have the generating AI adjust the level of detail of the analysis.
[0042] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the collected data. For example, the analysis unit can apply an income analysis algorithm to income data and an expenditure analysis algorithm to expenditure data. It can also apply a fixed cost analysis algorithm to fixed cost data and a variable cost analysis algorithm to variable cost data. Furthermore, it can apply an investment analysis algorithm to investment data and an insurance analysis algorithm to insurance data. For example, the analysis unit can apply an income analysis algorithm to income data and an expenditure analysis algorithm to expenditure data. It can also apply a fixed cost analysis algorithm to fixed cost data and a variable cost analysis algorithm to variable cost data. It can also apply an investment analysis algorithm to investment data and an insurance analysis algorithm to insurance data. By applying the appropriate analysis algorithm according to the data category, highly accurate analysis becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the categories of the collected data into the generating AI and have the generating AI execute different analysis algorithms.
[0043] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the timing of data submission. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of the most recent income and expenditure data, delaying the analysis of past data. Alternatively, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of data related to user-set goals, delaying the analysis of other data. Furthermore, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of data related to the user's areas of interest, delaying the analysis of other data. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the timing of data submission. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the timing of data submission into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the priority of analysis.
[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relationships between the collected data. For example, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis considering the relationships between income data and expenditure data. It can also adjust the order of analysis considering the relationships between fixed cost data and variable cost data.

[0155] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.
[0156] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0160] 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 (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) 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).
[0161] 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.

[0162] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48.

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.
[0168] 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 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 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.
[0169] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314.

[0171] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0172] 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.

[0175] 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.
[0176] 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).
[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.).
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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).

[0186] 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.
[0187] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, display unit, simulation unit, advice unit, forecasting unit, and analysis unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's income and expenditure data by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and analyzes it by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates a household budget. The display unit displays the analysis results on the display of the robot 414. The simulation unit performs a simulation based on the user's goals by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The advice unit provides investment and insurance advice by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The forecasting unit predicts cash flow by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The analysis unit analyzes market data in real time by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and formulates an investment plan. 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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."
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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.
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
[0203] 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.
[0204] 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. 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.
