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 Clarification Platform (FCP) according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for solving the problems of low birth rates and population decline in Japan. This system uses AI to ask relevant questions to help users understand their current financial situation and clarify their financial status. The AI then creates a long-term financial plan based on the user's current financial situation and future goals. This plan includes different investment options and how much to invest in each option. The AI also predicts future wealth, motivating the user to begin investing. Furthermore, the AI periodically analyzes the user's progress and makes suggestions if the plan needs to be revised. The FCP provides users with financial education, helping them understand how they are managing their funds. This allows users to gain confidence in building wealth while having a family. The FCP also shares how government support programs can help families. This platform allows users to gain financial security and reduce anxieties about marriage and starting a family. The FCP is designed as an independent system that can be integrated with cashless payment and external systems, enabling cashless payment asset management, bank account integration, and integration with matchmaking platforms. This allows the Financial Clarification Platform (FCP) to alleviate users' financial anxieties and provide them with confidence in getting married and starting a family.
[0029] The Financial Clarification Platform (FCP) according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, a planning unit, and an analysis unit. The data collection unit clarifies the user's financial situation. The data collection unit collects information such as the user's income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. The data collection unit can collect this information by asking the user relevant questions. For example, the data collection unit asks about the user's monthly income and expenses. The data collection unit can also ask for details of the user's assets and liabilities. Furthermore, the data collection unit can obtain data from the user's bank accounts and investment accounts in order to clarify the user's financial situation. The planning unit creates a long-term financial plan based on the information collected by the data collection unit. The planning unit creates investment and savings plans based on the user's current financial situation and future goals, for example. The planning unit can offer the user different investment options and indicate how much to invest in each option. For example, the planning unit can offer options such as equity investment, bond investment, and real estate investment. The planning unit can also suggest an optimal investment portfolio based on the user's risk tolerance. Furthermore, the planning department forecasts the user's future wealth and motivates the user to begin investing. The analysis department periodically analyzes the progress of the plan created by the planning department and modifies the plan as needed. For example, the analysis department monitors the user's investment performance and makes suggestions if plan modifications are necessary. The analysis department can also suggest rebalancing the user's investment portfolio. In addition, the analysis department can modify the plan in response to changes in the user's financial situation. For example, if the user's income increases, the analysis department can suggest additional investment options. Thus, the Financial Clarification Platform (FCP) according to this embodiment can alleviate the user's financial anxiety, improve the user's financial situation by creating a long-term financial plan and periodically analyzing its progress.
[0030] The data collection unit gathers information such as users' income, expenses, assets, and liabilities to clarify their financial situation. Specifically, the unit asks users a series of questions to inquire about the details of their monthly income and expenses. For example, it confirms the user's sources of income, such as salary, bonuses, and side income, and gains detailed information on expense items such as rent, utilities, food, and entertainment. The unit also inquires about the user's assets and liabilities. Assets include cash, deposits, stocks, bonds, and real estate, while liabilities include mortgages, car loans, and outstanding credit card balances. Furthermore, the unit can also obtain data directly from users' bank accounts and investment accounts. This allows for a more accurate understanding of the user's financial situation. With the user's consent, the unit connects with bank and securities company systems via APIs to obtain data in real time. This ensures that the user's financial data is always up-to-date. In addition, the unit uses encryption technology to protect the data in order to securely manage the user's financial data. This ensures that accurate financial information is collected while maintaining user privacy.
[0031] The Planning Department creates long-term financial plans based on information collected by the Data Collection Department. Specifically, the Planning Department considers the user's current financial situation and future goals to develop investment and savings plans. For example, if a user has goals such as purchasing a home in the future, paying for their children's education, or living expenses after retirement, the Planning Department outlines specific steps to achieve these goals. The Planning Department provides the user with different investment options and indicates how much to invest in each option. For example, it offers options such as stock investment, bond investment, and real estate investment, and explains the risks and returns of each. The Planning Department also proposes an optimal investment portfolio based on the user's risk tolerance. Risk tolerance is assessed considering the user's age, income, asset situation, and investment experience. Furthermore, the Planning Department forecasts the user's future wealth and motivates the user to start investing. For example, it simulates the future asset amount if the current investment plan is continued, showing the likelihood of achieving the goal. This allows the user to act systematically towards specific goals. The Planning Department can also flexibly adjust the plan according to the user's life stage and market fluctuations. This allows the user to always maintain an optimal financial strategy.
[0032] The analytics department regularly analyzes the progress of plans created by the planning department and modifies them as needed. Specifically, the analytics department monitors the user's investment performance and makes suggestions when plan modifications are necessary. For example, if a user's investments are performing better than expected, they will suggest additional investment options; conversely, if investments are underperforming, they will suggest rebalancing to diversify risk. The analytics department also modifies plans in response to changes in the user's financial situation. For example, if a user's income increases, they will suggest additional savings or investments; conversely, if income decreases, they will suggest reviewing expenses or shifting to lower-risk investments. The analytics department uses AI to analyze the user's financial data and make optimal suggestions. Based on historical data and market trends, the AI predicts future risks and returns and derives the optimal strategy for the user. Furthermore, the analytics department collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the plans. For example, they analyze how users reacted to suggestions and incorporate that feedback into future suggestions. This allows the analytics department to respond flexibly to user needs and optimally manage the user's financial situation.
[0033] The system includes an Education Department. The Education Department provides financial education to users. For example, the Education Department provides investment education, savings education, risk management education, etc. The Education Department can teach users basic financial concepts. For example, the Education Department can explain the basic mechanisms of stocks and bonds. The Education Department can also explain the relationship between risk and return to users. Furthermore, the Education Department can teach users the importance of investment diversification. For example, the Education Department can explain how to mitigate risk by diversifying investments across different asset classes. This allows users to understand how their funds are being managed and to make smarter financial decisions. Some or all of the above processes in the Education Department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the Education Department can input the user's learning history into AI and have the AI generate optimal educational content.
[0034] The system includes a provisioning unit. The provisioning unit shares government support programs with users.

For example, the provisioning unit can explain how to apply for and the conditions for mortgage assistance programs. It can also explain how to use education expense assistance programs. Furthermore, the provisioning unit can explain the scope of medical expense assistance programs. For example, the provisioning unit can explain whether specific medical expenses are covered. This allows users to reduce anxiety about having a family and gain financial security by receiving government support. Some or all of the above processing in the provisioning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the provisioning unit can input the user's financial situation into AI and have the AI generate and execute the optimal support program.
[0035] The system includes an investment section. The investment section provides users with investment options. For example, the investment section offers options such as stock investments, bond investments, and real estate investments. The investment section can explain the details of each investment option to the user. For example, the investment section can explain the risks and returns of stock investments. It can also explain the advantages and disadvantages of bond investments. Furthermore, the investment section can explain the profitability of real estate investments. For example, the investment section can show the historical performance of a particular real estate investment. This makes it easier for users to execute their financial plans and understand their investment options. Some or all of the above processing in the investment section may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the investment section can input the user's risk tolerance into the AI and have the AI generate and execute the optimal investment option.
[0036] The system includes a prediction unit. The prediction unit predicts the user's future wealth. For example, the prediction unit predicts income, expenses, and asset values. The prediction unit can provide the user with predictions of their future wealth. For example, the prediction unit can show how the user's income will fluctuate in the future. The prediction unit can also show how the user's expenses will fluctuate in the future. Furthermore, the prediction unit can show how the user's asset values will fluctuate in the future. For example, the prediction unit predicts the future performance of a particular investment option. This gives the user motivation to start investing and to plan for building future wealth. Some or all of the above processing in the prediction unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the prediction unit can input the user's financial data into an AI and have the AI generate predictions of future wealth.
[0037] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past financial history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit may prioritize suggesting data collection methods the user has used in the past (manual input, import, etc.). The data collection unit can also select the most efficient data collection method based on the user's past financial history. Furthermore, the data collection unit can analyze the user's past financial history and customize the data collection method. For example, if the data collection unit has preferred manual input in the past, it will prioritize suggesting manual input. This allows the data collection unit to select the optimal data collection method by analyzing the user's past financial history. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past financial history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0038] The data collection unit can filter the collected financial information based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can collect relevant financial information based on the user's current living situation (single, married, etc.). The data collection unit can also filter the information to be collected based on the user's areas of interest (investment, savings, etc.). Furthermore, the data collection unit can determine the priority of the information to be collected based on the user's living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is married, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of financial information related to family. This allows the data collection unit to collect highly relevant information by filtering the information 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 not using 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 information filtering.
[0039] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location when collecting financial information.

[0157] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0158] 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.

[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.

[0170] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414.

In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0171] 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).

[0172] 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.
[0173] Each of the above-mentioned elements, including the data collection unit, planning unit, analysis unit, education unit, provision unit, investment unit, forecasting unit, and sentiment estimation function, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's financial information using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and transmits the collected information to the data processing unit 12 by the control unit 46A. The planning unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates a long-term financial plan based on the collected information. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and periodically analyzes the progress of the plan and modifies the plan as necessary. The education unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides financial education to the user. The provision unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and shares government support programs with the user. The investment unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides investment options to the user. The prediction unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and predicts the user's future assets. The emotion estimation function is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the data collection timing. The correspondence between each unit and the device and control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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."
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.

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.
