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 FeedHarmony Co-creation Multi-Facilitation Feedback System, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is a tool that utilizes AI to improve the quality of multi-faceted feedback. This system converts evaluators' feedback into soft and specific language and presents improvement suggestions. It provides evaluators with easily understandable and specific improvement measures and manages the feedback history. This system makes feedback specific and easy to accept, promoting employee growth. Evaluators can efficiently provide high-quality feedback, and evaluators can easily understand areas for improvement. As a result, overall workplace communication improves, and motivation and productivity increase. For example, if an evaluator inputs feedback such as, "Person B is not doing their job well at all. They are causing trouble for everyone around them," the AI ​​converts it into soft and specific language such as, "In Project X, there are many situations where Person B is able to utilize their strengths and perform well, but there seem to be cases where things are not going well in regular meetings, etc. You might want to try an approach like XXX." This makes it easier for evaluators to understand specific improvement measures, and evaluators can provide high-quality feedback. In addition, the AI ​​manages the feedback history, allowing evaluators to refer to past feedback. This makes it easier for evaluators to provide consistent feedback. Furthermore, the AI ​​provides evaluators with feedback points, leading to increased self-awareness. This system addresses the challenges of quality and efficiency in multi-rater feedback faced by business leaders and HR managers, and is expected to promote employee growth and improve overall workplace communication. Thus, FeedHarmony's multi-rater feedback system can promote employee growth and improve overall workplace communication.

[0029] The FeedHarmony collaborative multifaceted feedback system according to this embodiment comprises an input unit, a conversion unit, a provision unit, and a management unit. The input unit receives feedback. For example, the evaluator can input feedback in text format into the input unit. The input unit can also receive feedback using voice input. For example, the evaluator can input feedback by voice and convert it to text using speech recognition technology. Furthermore, the input unit can also reuse feedback previously entered by the evaluator by referring to past feedback history. The conversion unit converts the feedback entered by the input unit into softer, more specific expressions. For example, the conversion unit can analyze the evaluator's feedback using AI and convert it into an appropriate expression. For example, if the evaluator inputs "Person B is not doing their job well at all," the conversion unit converts it into a softer expression such as "Person B seems to have some difficulties with a particular project." The conversion unit can also suggest specific improvement measures depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the conversion unit suggests a specific improvement measure such as "Person B is advised to take XXX training to improve their project management skills." The provision unit provides the feedback converted by the conversion unit to the person being evaluated. The service provider can, for example, send feedback to the person being evaluated via email. The service provider can also provide a dedicated web portal where the person being evaluated can view their feedback. For example, the person being evaluated can log in to the web portal and view past feedback. Furthermore, the service provider can send notifications to the person being evaluated depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the service provider can send a notification to the person being evaluated when they receive new feedback. The management department manages the feedback history. For example, the management department can save feedback previously provided by evaluators and make it available for reference as needed. The management department can set the retention period and format for feedback. For example, the management department can save feedback for a certain period and then automatically delete it. The management department can also set access permissions for feedback.For example, the management department can configure the system so that only specific evaluators can access specific feedback. This allows the FeedHarmony collaborative multifaceted feedback system, according to this embodiment, to improve the quality of feedback and promote employee growth.

[0030] The input section is where feedback is entered. For example, the input section allows evaluators to enter feedback in text format. The input section also allows feedback to be entered using voice input. For example, the evaluator can enter feedback by voice and convert it to text using speech recognition technology. Specifically, the speech recognition technology analyzes the evaluator's voice in real time and converts it into accurate text data. This makes it easy for evaluators to enter feedback and significantly reduces the effort required for input. Furthermore, the input section can also refer to past feedback history and allow evaluators to reuse feedback they have previously entered. For example, by searching for feedback entered in the past and reusing it for similar situations, the consistency of feedback can be maintained. By integrating these functions, the input section provides an environment in which evaluators can enter feedback efficiently and effectively. In addition, the input section is designed with a user interface that is easy for evaluators to operate intuitively. For example, it has an interface that allows seamless switching between voice input and text input, and a function that allows easy searching of past feedback history. This allows evaluators to enter feedback without stress and improve the quality of feedback.

[0031] The conversion unit transforms the feedback entered by the input unit into softer, more concrete expressions. For example, the conversion unit can use AI to analyze the evaluator's feedback and transform it into appropriate expressions. Specifically, it uses natural language processing technology to analyze the evaluator's feedback and understand the context and intent. For example, if an evaluator inputs, "Person B is not doing their job well at all," the conversion unit analyzes the context and transforms it into a softer expression. The conversion unit transforms it into a softer expression such as, "It seems that Person B is having trouble with certain aspects of the project." The conversion unit can also suggest specific improvement measures depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the conversion unit might suggest, "We recommend that Person B take XXX training to improve their project management skills." In this way, the conversion unit can transform the evaluator's feedback into something more constructive and positive, and present it in a way that is more easily accepted by the person being evaluated. Furthermore, the conversion unit can analyze the content of the feedback and extract common issues and trends. For example, it can analyze feedback from multiple evaluators and identify common issues regarding specific skills or behaviors. This allows for an understanding of issues across the entire organization and the implementation of effective countermeasures. Through these functions, the conversion unit can improve the quality of feedback and promote the growth of those being evaluated.

[0032] The service provider delivers the feedback converted by the conversion unit to the person being evaluated. For example, the service provider can send the feedback to the person being evaluated via email. Specifically, the service provider automatically converts the converted feedback into email format and sends it to the person being evaluated's email address. The service provider can also provide a dedicated web portal where the person being evaluated can view their feedback. For example, the person being evaluated can log in to the web portal and view past feedback. The web portal has a user-friendly interface, allowing the person being evaluated to easily search for and view feedback. Furthermore, the service provider can send notifications to the person being evaluated depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the service provider can send a notification to the person being evaluated when they receive new feedback. This allows the person being evaluated to respond quickly without missing important feedback. Through these functions, the service provider provides an environment in which the person being evaluated can effectively receive and utilize feedback. Furthermore, the service provider can customize the method of providing feedback. For example, the method of providing feedback can be selected according to the person being evaluated's preferences. This allows the service provider to provide feedback in the form that is most acceptable to the person being evaluated, maximizing the effectiveness of the feedback.

[0033] The management department manages the feedback history. For example, the management department stores feedback previously provided by evaluators and makes it available for reference as needed. Specifically, the management department stores feedback in a database, making it easy for evaluators and those being evaluated to search for past feedback. The management department can set the retention period and storage format for feedback. For example, the management department can store feedback for a certain period and then automatically delete it. The management department can also set access permissions for feedback. For example, the management department can set it so that only specific evaluators can access specific feedback. This ensures the privacy and security of feedback. Furthermore, the management department can generate feedback statistics and understand feedback trends across the organization. For example, the management department can analyze the content and frequency of feedback to identify challenges and areas for improvement across the organization. This allows the management department to provide data to improve the quality of feedback and promote overall organizational growth. Through these functions, the management department can effectively manage and utilize feedback and improve the overall performance of the organization.

[0034] The service provider can provide specific improvement measures that are easy for the person being evaluated to understand. For example, the service provider might present specific improvement measures to the person being evaluated. For example, the service provider might present specific improvement measures such as, "We recommend that Mr. / Ms. B take the XXX training to improve their project management skills." The service provider can also provide resources for the person being evaluated to implement the improvement measures. For example, the service provider might provide the person being evaluated with a link to a training program. Furthermore, the service provider can record the results of the person being evaluated implementing the improvement measures as feedback. For example, the service provider might record the results as feedback when the person being evaluated completes the training program. This makes it easier for the person being evaluated to understand and implement the specific improvement measures. Some or all of the above processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can use AI to analyze the content of the feedback and propose appropriate improvement measures in order to present specific improvement measures to the person being evaluated.

[0035] The management department can enable evaluators to refer to past feedback. For example, the management department can save feedback previously provided by evaluators and make it available for reference as needed. The management department can set the retention period and format of the feedback. For example, the management department can save feedback for a certain period and then automatically delete it. The management department can also set access permissions for the feedback. For example, the management department can set it so that only specific evaluators can access specific feedback. Furthermore, the management department can provide a search function for feedback when evaluators refer to past feedback. For example, the management department can enable evaluators to search past feedback by entering specific keywords. This makes it easier for evaluators to provide consistent feedback. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the management department can analyze past feedback using AI and provide it in a format that is easy for evaluators to refer to.

[0036] The conversion unit can transform the evaluator's feedback into softer, more specific language. For example, the conversion unit can use AI to analyze the evaluator's feedback and convert it into appropriate language. For instance, if the evaluator inputs "Person B is not doing their job well at all," the conversion unit will convert it into a softer expression such as "Person B seems to be having some difficulties with a particular project." The conversion unit can also suggest specific improvement measures depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the conversion unit might suggest a specific improvement measure such as, "We recommend that Person B take XXX training to improve their project management skills." This makes the feedback more specific and easier to accept. Some or all of the above processing in the conversion unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the conversion unit can input the evaluator's feedback into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the process of converting it into softer, more specific language.

[0037] The service provider can present feedback points to the evaluator. For example, the service provider might present key points of feedback to the evaluator. For example, it might present a point such as, "Feedback on B's project management skills is important." The service provider can also highlight key points when the evaluator enters feedback. For example, the service provider highlights key points on the feedback entry screen. Furthermore, the service provider can provide a function that allows the evaluator to refer to past feedback history when entering feedback. For example, the service provider displays feedback previously provided by the evaluator, making it easier to provide consistent feedback. This makes it easier for evaluators to provide high-quality feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the service provider can use AI to analyze the content of feedback and extract key points in order to present feedback points to the evaluator.

[0038] The management department can manage the history to maintain the consistency of feedback. For example, the management department can save feedback previously provided by evaluators and make it available for reference as needed. The management department can set the retention period and format of the feedback. For example, the management department can save feedback for a certain period and then automatically delete it. The management department can also set access permissions for the feedback. For example, the management department can set it so that only specific evaluators can access specific feedback. Furthermore, the management department can provide a feedback search function when evaluators refer to past feedback. For example, the management department can allow evaluators to search past feedback by entering specific keywords. This ensures the consistency of feedback. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the management department can analyze past feedback using AI and provide it in a format that is easy for evaluators to refer to.

[0039] The input unit can analyze past feedback history and select the optimal input method. For example, the input unit can prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has preferred in the past. For example, if the user has preferred voice input in the past, the input unit will prioritize suggesting voice input. The input unit can also analyze the format of feedback previously entered by the user and provide the optimal template. For example, the input unit can analyze feedback templates previously used by the user and provide the optimal template. Furthermore, the input unit can suggest the optimal input method for a specific time period based on the user's past feedback history. For example, the input unit can analyze the user's history of feedback entered during a specific time period and suggest the optimal input method for that time period. This allows the user to be provided with the most suitable input method. Some or all of the above processing in the input unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the input unit can analyze past feedback history using AI and select the optimal input method.

[0040] The input unit can filter feedback input based on the user's current projects and areas of interest.

[0063] (Example of form 2) The FeedHarmony Co-creation Multi-Facilitation Feedback System, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is a tool that utilizes AI to improve the quality of multi-faceted feedback. This system converts evaluators' feedback into soft and specific language and presents improvement suggestions. It provides evaluators with easily understandable and specific improvement measures and manages the feedback history. This system makes feedback specific and easy to accept, promoting employee growth. Evaluators can efficiently provide high-quality feedback, and evaluators can easily understand areas for improvement. As a result, overall workplace communication improves, and motivation and productivity increase. For example, if an evaluator inputs feedback such as, "Person B is not doing their job well at all. They are causing trouble for everyone around them," the AI ​​converts it into soft and specific language such as, "In Project X, there are many situations where Person B is able to utilize their strengths and perform well, but there seem to be cases where things are not going well in regular meetings, etc. You might want to try an approach like XXX." This makes it easier for evaluators to understand specific improvement measures, and evaluators can provide high-quality feedback. In addition, the AI ​​manages the feedback history, allowing evaluators to refer to past feedback. This makes it easier for evaluators to provide consistent feedback. Furthermore, the AI ​​provides evaluators with feedback points, leading to increased self-awareness. This system addresses the challenges of quality and efficiency in multi-rater feedback faced by business leaders and HR managers, and is expected to promote employee growth and improve overall workplace communication.

For example, the evaluator can enter feedback by voice and it can be converted to text using speech recognition technology. Furthermore, the input section can refer to past feedback history and reuse feedback previously entered by the evaluator. Step 2: The conversion unit transforms the feedback entered by the input unit into softer, more specific language. For example, the conversion unit can use AI to analyze the evaluator's feedback and transform it into appropriate language. For instance, if the evaluator inputs "Person B is not doing their job well at all," the conversion unit will transform it into a softer expression such as "Person B seems to be having some difficulties with a particular project." The conversion unit can also suggest specific improvement measures depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the conversion unit might suggest a specific improvement measure such as, "We recommend that Person B take XXX training to improve their project management skills." Step 3: The provider unit provides the feedback converted by the conversion unit to the person being evaluated. The provider unit can, for example, send the feedback to the person being evaluated via email. The provider unit can also provide a dedicated web portal where the person being evaluated can view the feedback. For example, the person being evaluated can log in to the web portal and view past feedback. Furthermore, the provider unit can send notifications to the person being evaluated depending on the content of the feedback. For example, the provider unit can send a notification to the person being evaluated when they receive new feedback. Step 4: The management department manages the feedback history. For example, the management department saves feedback previously provided by evaluators and makes it available for reference as needed. The management department can set the retention period and format for the feedback. For example, the management department can save feedback for a certain period and then automatically delete it. The management department can also set access permissions for the feedback. For example, the management department can set it so that only specific evaluators can access specific feedback.

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. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0133] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. 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 display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0134] 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.

[0135] 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).

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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 specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0141] 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.).

[0142] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0145] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the input unit, conversion unit, provision unit, and management unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the input unit can perform voice input using the microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314. The conversion unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which uses AI to analyze the feedback and convert it into an appropriate expression. The provision unit provides feedback to the person being evaluated using the display 343 of the headset terminal 314. The management unit stores the feedback history in the database 24 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and makes it available for reference as needed. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0146] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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).

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.).

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the input unit, conversion unit, provision unit, and management unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the input unit can perform voice input using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The conversion unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the feedback using AI and converts it into an appropriate expression. The provision unit provides feedback to the person being evaluated using, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414. The management unit stores the feedback history in the database 24 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and makes it available for reference as needed. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.
