In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The medical support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for solving the problems that doctors face when examining patients outside their specialty while on call. This medical support system allows a doctor to upload a patient's medical history and medical images such as X-rays, and a generating AI then suggests a suspected diagnosis and countermeasures. For example, a doctor uploads a patient's medical history and medical images to this system. For example, if a patient falls and severely injures their right elbow, the doctor uploads the medical history and X-ray images. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the uploaded information. The generating AI searches a medical knowledge database created based on medical books and papers, and a medical image database provided by specialists, to identify similar cases. For example, based on an X-ray image of the right elbow, it identifies the possibility of a radial head fracture. Based on the identified case, the generating AI suggests a suspected diagnosis and countermeasures. For example, if a diagnosis of a right radial head fracture is made, it suggests treatment methods such as splinting or open reduction and internal fixation. This system allows doctors to perform rapid and accurate diagnoses and treatments even in areas outside their specialty, maximizing the patient's benefit. Furthermore, reducing oversights also mitigates the risk of medical malpractice lawsuits. Moreover, this system is expected to improve physicians' clinical skills. By referring to the suspected diagnoses and countermeasures provided by the generating AI, physicians can enhance their diagnostic abilities. For example, by implementing the treatment methods suggested by the generating AI and receiving feedback on the results, physicians can accumulate their own knowledge and experience. Thus, this system is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the challenges physicians face when examining patients outside their specialty and ensures accurate diagnoses. By utilizing the generating AI, physicians can provide rapid and accurate diagnoses and treatments, maximizing patient benefits. In this way, the medical support system solves the challenges physicians face when examining patients outside their specialty and ensures accurate diagnoses.

[0029] The medical support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a search unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit uploads the patient's medical history and medical images. The patient's medical history includes, but is not limited to, past diagnoses, treatment history, and allergy information. Medical images include, but are not limited to, X-ray images, MRI images, and CT scan images. The reception unit can, for example, obtain and upload diagnoses and treatment history received by the patient from the electronic medical record. The reception unit can also scan medical images brought by the patient using a scanner and upload them as digital data. For example, the reception unit scans an X-ray image brought by the patient using a high-resolution scanner and saves it as digital data. The analysis unit analyzes the information uploaded by the reception unit using a generation AI. The analysis is performed based on, for example, an image analysis algorithm or text analysis technology, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the uploaded X-ray image and detect the presence or absence of a fracture. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use generative AI to analyze uploaded diagnostic results and treatment history to understand the patient's medical history. For example, the analysis unit can use generative AI to extract and analyze the patient's medical history from diagnostic results and treatment history. The search unit uses generative AI to search the medical knowledge database and medical image database based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The search is performed based on, for example, the method of generating search queries and the search algorithm, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the search unit uses generative AI to search the medical knowledge database based on analyzed X-ray images to identify similar cases. The search unit can also use generative AI to search the medical image database based on analyzed diagnostic results and treatment history. For example, the search unit uses generative AI to search the medical image database based on diagnostic results and treatment history to identify relevant medical images. The proposal unit uses generative AI to propose suspected diagnoses and countermeasures based on the information obtained by the search unit. The proposal is made based on, for example, the priority of the proposals and the evaluation criteria for the proposed content, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the proposal department uses generative AI to suggest suspected diagnoses and countermeasures based on the searched cases.Furthermore, the suggestion unit can also use a generation AI to propose treatment methods based on the retrieved medical images. For example, the suggestion unit can use the generation AI to propose treatment methods such as splinting or open reduction and internal fixation based on the retrieved medical images. This allows the medical support system according to the embodiment to solve the problems that doctors face when examining patients outside their specialty and to ensure thorough examinations without overlooking anything. Some or all of the above-described processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without using a generation AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the information obtained by the search unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI propose suspected diagnoses and countermeasures.

[0030] The reception desk uploads the patient's medical history and medical images. The patient's medical history includes, but is not limited to, past diagnoses, treatment history, and allergy information. Specifically, past diagnoses and treatment history are automatically retrieved from the electronic medical record system. This allows the reception desk to retrieve and upload the patient's diagnoses and treatment history from the electronic medical record. Furthermore, medical images brought in by the patient can be scanned and uploaded as digital data. For example, X-ray images brought in by the patient can be scanned with a high-resolution scanner and saved as digital data. Similarly, MRI and CT scan images are also scanned and saved as digital data. This allows the reception desk to centrally manage patient medical history and medical images, making them accessible to the analysis and search departments. The reception desk can also encrypt data and control access to protect patient privacy. For example, uploaded data can be encrypted and stored, and only authenticated users can access it. This allows the reception desk to securely manage patient data and improve the overall reliability of the system.

[0031] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze information uploaded by the reception unit. Analysis is performed based on, for example, image analysis algorithms and text analysis technologies, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes uploaded X-ray images to detect the presence or absence of fractures. Image analysis algorithms detect changes in bone shape and density, identifying abnormal areas. The generative AI can also analyze uploaded diagnostic results and treatment history to understand the patient's medical history. For example, the generative AI uses natural language processing technology to extract and analyze the patient's medical history from diagnostic results and treatment history. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze collected data and understand the patient's condition. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can predict the progression pattern of a specific disease based on past diagnostic results and treatment history, and formulate future treatment plans. Additionally, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0032] The search unit uses generative AI to search medical knowledge databases and medical image databases based on information analyzed by the analysis unit. The search is performed based on, for example, the method of generating search queries and the search algorithm, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generative AI searches the medical knowledge database based on analyzed X-ray images to identify similar cases. For example, the generative AI extracts image features and generates queries to search for similar cases. The generative AI can also search the medical image database based on analyzed diagnostic results and treatment history. For example, the generative AI uses natural language processing techniques to extract relevant keywords from diagnostic results and treatment history and searches the medical image database. This allows the search unit to quickly identify relevant medical images and case information and provide it to the suggestion unit. Furthermore, the search unit can introduce a feedback loop to improve the accuracy of search results. For example, by collecting physician feedback on search results and using it as training data for the generative AI, the accuracy of the search algorithm can be continuously improved. This allows the search unit to always provide highly accurate search results based on the latest information, supporting physicians' diagnoses.

[0033] The suggestion unit uses generative AI to propose suspected diagnoses and countermeasures based on information obtained by the search unit. Suggestions are made based on, for example, priority and evaluation criteria for the suggestions, but are not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generative AI proposes suspected diagnoses and countermeasures based on the searched cases. For example, the generative AI identifies the most likely diagnose and proposes a countermeasure based on information obtained from similar cases. The generative AI can also propose treatment methods based on the searched medical images. For example, based on image analysis results, the generative AI proposes treatment methods such as splinting or open reduction and internal fixation. This allows the suggestion unit to address the concerns of physicians when examining patients outside their specialty, enabling thorough examinations without overlooking diagnoses. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can introduce a feedback loop to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, by collecting physician feedback on the suggestions and using it as training data for the generative AI, the accuracy of the suggestion algorithm can be continuously improved. The suggestion unit also prioritizes and presents multiple suggestions to facilitate the selection of the optimal treatment method for physicians. This allows the proposal department to strongly support physicians' diagnoses and maximize the effectiveness of patient treatment.

[0034] The suggestion unit can propose suspected diagnoses and countermeasures using a generative AI. For example, the suggestion unit can use the generative AI to identify suspected diagnoses based on the patient's medical history and medical images. For example, the suggestion unit can use the generative AI to identify the possibility of a radial head fracture based on an X-ray image of the right elbow. The suggestion unit can also use the generative AI to propose countermeasures based on the identified suspected diagnose. For example, if a radial head fracture is diagnosed, the suggestion unit can use the generative AI to propose treatment methods such as splinting or open reduction and internal fixation. The suggestion unit can also use the generative AI to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed countermeasures. For example, the suggestion unit can use the generative AI to simulate the effectiveness of the proposed treatment and propose the optimal treatment. This improves the accuracy of suggesting suspected diagnoses and countermeasures by using the generative AI. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using the generative AI, or not. For example, the suggestion unit can input the patient's medical history and medical images into the generative AI and have the generative AI propose suspected diagnoses and countermeasures.

[0063] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0064] Step 1: The reception desk uploads the patient's medical history and medical images. The patient's medical history includes past diagnoses, treatment history, and allergy information. Medical images include X-ray images, MRI images, and CT scan images. The reception desk retrieves the patient's diagnoses and treatment history from the electronic medical record and uploads them.

[0065] (Example of form 2) The medical support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for solving the problems that doctors face when examining patients outside their specialty while on call. This medical support system allows a doctor to upload a patient's medical history and medical images such as X-rays, and a generating AI then suggests a suspected diagnosis and countermeasures. For example, a doctor uploads a patient's medical history and medical images to this system. For example, if a patient falls and severely injures their right elbow, the doctor uploads the medical history and X-ray images. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the uploaded information. The generating AI searches a medical knowledge database created based on medical books and papers, and a medical image database provided by specialists, to identify similar cases. For example, based on an X-ray image of the right elbow, it identifies the possibility of a radial head fracture. Based on the identified case, the generating AI suggests a suspected diagnosis and countermeasures. For example, if a diagnosis of a right radial head fracture is made, it suggests treatment methods such as splinting or open reduction and internal fixation. This system allows doctors to perform rapid and accurate diagnoses and treatments even in areas outside their specialty, maximizing the patient's benefit. Furthermore, reducing oversights also mitigates the risk of medical malpractice lawsuits. Moreover, this system is expected to improve physicians' clinical skills. By referring to the suspected diagnoses and countermeasures provided by the generating AI, physicians can enhance their diagnostic abilities.

[0102] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0103] Medical support systems can further improve diagnostic accuracy by acquiring patient lifestyle data. For example, by collecting data on patients' diet, exercise, and sleep patterns and incorporating this information into analysis, a more comprehensive diagnosis becomes possible. Furthermore, based on lifestyle data, preventative measures and lifestyle improvements can be suggested. For instance, information useful for maintaining patient health, such as recommendations for dietary improvements and exercise, can be provided.

It can also suggest feasible preventive measures and lifestyle improvements based on the patient's living environment. Furthermore, if social support is needed, it can refer the patient to appropriate support organizations. This ensures that optimal medical care is provided according to the individual circumstances of each patient.

[0108] The medical support system can further estimate the patient's emotions and adjust the appointment schedule based on those emotions. For example, if a patient is feeling anxious, an earlier appointment can be prioritized. If the patient is relaxed, the appointment can proceed according to the normal schedule. Furthermore, if the patient is in a hurry, a special schedule can be created for a rapid appointment. This provides a flexible appointment schedule that is tailored to the patient's emotions.

[0109] Medical support systems can further analyze patients' past treatment outcomes to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0139] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0148] 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 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 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.

[0149] 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.

[0151] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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).

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.).

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, search unit, and proposal unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and uploads the patient's medical history and medical images. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the uploaded information using a generating AI. The search unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and searches the medical knowledge database and the medical image database. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes suspected diagnoses and countermeasures. 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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."

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.
