[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure.

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 Task Equalizer system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to optimize the balance of work and collaboration within a team. The Task Equalizer system is designed to eliminate unfair situations in traditional organizations, such as work being concentrated on specific members or work progressing only among close friends. This solves problems such as uneven workload distribution, decreased motivation among other members, and reduced team efficiency. The Task Equalizer system consists of the following elements: Fair automatic task assignment: The generative AI analyzes each member's skills and workload and automatically distributes tasks to prevent workload imbalance. Analysis of communication imbalance: The generative AI analyzes the status of dialogue and collaboration within the team and visualizes and improves situations where work is progressing only among specific members. Real-time feedback: The generative AI constantly monitors the work status and notifies the leader of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. For example, to prevent work from being concentrated on specific members, the generative AI assigns tasks considering each member's skill set and current workload. The generative AI analyzes chat logs and email exchanges and notifies the leader if communication is concentrated only among specific members. If a particular member is taking on an excessive workload or if a specific task is falling behind schedule, the generating AI sends an alert to the leader. This allows the Task Equalizer system to eliminate excessive burdens on specific members, ensuring that everyone contributes equally to the work. The generating AI prevents workload imbalances by assigning tasks considering each member's skills and workload. The generating AI analyzes communication imbalances and provides improvement suggestions, enhancing overall team collaboration. The generating AI monitors work status in real time and provides feedback to leaders, enabling quick responses. The Task Equalizer system leverages generating AI to improve work efficiency and fairness. This leads to increased productivity and motivation for the entire team, enabling efficient work operations.This allows the Task Equalizer system to optimize team workload balance and collaboration, resulting in fairer work distribution and increased productivity.
[0029] The Task Equalizer system according to this embodiment comprises a task assignment unit, a progress monitoring unit, and a feedback provision unit. The task assignment unit assigns tasks. The task assignment unit, for example, analyzes each member's skills and workload using a generating AI and automatically distributes tasks. The task assignment unit, for example, assigns tasks considering each member's skill set and current workload using a generating AI to prevent work from concentrating on specific members. The task assignment unit prevents workload imbalances by assigning tasks considering members' skills and workloads using a generating AI. The progress monitoring unit monitors the progress of tasks assigned by the task assignment unit. The progress monitoring unit, for example, uses a generating AI to constantly monitor the work status and notifies the leader of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. The progress monitoring unit, for example, uses a generating AI to send an alert to the leader if a particular member is taking on an excessive amount of work or if the progress of a particular task is behind schedule. The progress monitoring unit enables quick responses by having a generating AI monitor the work status in real time and provide feedback to the leader. The feedback provision unit provides feedback based on the progress monitored by the progress monitoring unit. For example, the feedback provision unit uses a generating AI to constantly monitor the work status and notify leaders of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. For example, if a particular member is taking on an excessive amount of work or if the progress of a particular task is behind schedule, the generating AI sends an alert to the leader. For example, the feedback provision unit enables quick responses by using a generating AI to monitor the work status in real time and provide feedback to leaders. As a result, the Task Equalizer system according to this embodiment can efficiently assign tasks, monitor progress, and provide feedback.
[0030] The task assignment unit assigns tasks. For example, the task assignment unit analyzes each member's skills and workload using a generative AI and automatically distributes tasks. Specifically, the generative AI retrieves each member's past work history, skill set, and current workload from a database and uses this information to make optimal task assignments. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze members' skills and experience and identify the member best suited for each task. The generative AI also monitors each member's current workload in real time and distributes tasks to prevent work from concentrating on any particular member. For example, if member A currently has 5 tasks while member B only has 2, the generative AI will adjust the assignment so that the next task is assigned to member B. Furthermore, the generative AI also takes into account task priority and deadlines, prioritizing the assignment of high-urgency tasks. This allows the task assignment unit to prevent workload imbalances and optimally utilize each member's skills and workload. The generative AI can also periodically evaluate the progress of tasks and reassign tasks as needed. For example, if a particular task is behind schedule, the generation AI can distribute that task to other members, thereby ensuring smooth progress across the entire project. This allows the task assignment department to manage tasks efficiently and flexibly, improving the overall productivity of the project.
[0031] The progress monitoring unit monitors the progress of tasks assigned by the task assignment unit. For example, the progress monitoring unit uses a generation AI to constantly monitor work status and notify leaders of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. Specifically, the generation AI tracks the task progress of each member in real time and identifies tasks that are behind schedule or members who are overburdened. The generation AI analyzes task progress data and evaluates whether it is progressing according to schedule. For example, it compares the scheduled completion date of a task with the current progress rate and sends an alert to the leader if a delay occurs. The generation AI also analyzes each member's working hours and task completion status, and reports to the leader if a particular member is overburdened. This allows the leader to respond quickly and reassign tasks or adjust resources as needed. Furthermore, the progress monitoring unit can also perform trend analysis based on past data and predict future risks. For example, by analyzing past project data, if a particular task tends to be prone to delays, countermeasures can be taken in advance. This allows the progress monitoring unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term risk management, enabling the smooth progress of the entire project.
[0032] The Feedback Department provides feedback based on the progress monitored by the Progress Monitoring Department. For example, the Feedback Department uses a generating AI to constantly monitor work status and notify leaders of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. Specifically, the generating AI analyzes the task progress of each member and provides specific feedback to the leader. For example, if a particular member is taking on an excessive amount of work, the generating AI will suggest ways to reduce that member's workload. Also, if a particular task is behind schedule, the generating AI will analyze the cause and suggest solutions to the leader. For example, if the delay in a task is due to a lack of resources, the generating AI will suggest allocating additional resources. Furthermore, the Feedback Department can also provide feedback to members themselves to encourage self-improvement. For example, the generating AI will evaluate each member's work performance and provide feedback on areas for improvement and success stories. This allows members to objectively understand their own work performance and strive for self-improvement. In addition, the Feedback Department generates regular reports to inform leaders of the overall project progress and risks. This allows leaders to grasp the overall picture of the project and make appropriate decisions. This allows the feedback department to contribute not only to real-time feedback but also to long-term business improvement, thereby contributing to the overall success of the project.
[0033] The task assignment unit can automatically distribute tasks by analyzing each member's skills and workload using a generating AI. For example, the task assignment unit assigns tasks considering each member's skill set and current workload. The task assignment unit prevents workload imbalances by having the generating AI consider members' skills and workloads when assigning tasks. For example, the task assignment unit automatically assigns the optimal task by having the generating AI analyze each member's skills and workload. This allows for automatic task distribution based on each member's skills and workload. Skills include, for example, technical skills and soft skills. Workload includes, for example, working time and task difficulty. Technologies such as deep learning and natural language processing are used in the generating AI.
[0034] The Communication Analysis Department uses AI to analyze team dialogue and collaboration, enabling the visualization and improvement of situations where work is progressing only among specific members. For example, the AI analyzes chat logs and email exchanges, and if communication is concentrated among specific members, it notifies the leader. The Communication Analysis Department uses AI to analyze team dialogue and collaboration, enabling the visualization and improvement of situations where work is progressing only among specific members. For example, the AI analyzes communication imbalances and provides improvement suggestions, thereby improving overall team cooperation. This allows for the visualization and improvement of situations where work is progressing only among specific members. Communication analysis includes, for example, analysis of dialogue frequency and content.
[0035] The feedback system can notify leaders of tasks that are behind schedule or members who are being unfairly burdened. For example, the feedback system's AI continuously monitors work status and notifies leaders of members who are being unfairly burdened or tasks that are behind schedule. For example, if a particular member is taking on an excessive amount of work or if a particular task is behind schedule, the AI will send an alert to the leader. The feedback system enables quick responses by having the AI monitor work status in real time and provide feedback to leaders. This allows leaders to be notified of tasks that are behind schedule or members who are being unfairly burdened. Being behind schedule includes, for example, a percentage behind schedule. Being unfairly burdened includes, for example, a disproportionate amount of work concentrated on a particular member.
[0036] The Skill Analysis Unit can analyze each member's skill set using a generating AI and provide it to the Task Assignment Unit. For example, the Skill Analysis Unit uses a generating AI to analyze each member's skill set and provide it to the Task Assignment Unit. The Skill Analysis Unit uses a generating AI to analyze each member's skill set and provide information for optimal task assignment. By having the Skill Analysis Unit use a generating AI to analyze each member's skill set and provide it to the Task Assignment Unit, task assignment can be made more efficient. This allows the Skill Analysis Unit to analyze each member's skill set and provide it to the Task Assignment Unit. Skill sets include, for example, programming skills and management skills.
[0037] The workload analysis unit can analyze the workload of each member using a generating AI and provide it to the feedback unit. For example, the workload analysis unit uses a generating AI to analyze the workload of each member and provide it to the feedback unit. By having the workload analysis unit use a generating AI to analyze the workload of each member and provide it to the feedback unit, task assignment can be made more efficient. This allows the workload analysis unit to analyze the workload of each member and provide it to the feedback unit. The workload includes, for example, work time and task difficulty.
[0038] The task assignment unit can analyze each member's past task completion history and select the optimal task assignment method. For example, the task assignment unit can use a generating AI to assign similar tasks based on the types of tasks a member has successfully completed in the past. For example, the task assignment unit can use a generating AI to adjust tasks so that members avoid tasks they have struggled with in the past. For example, the task assignment unit can use a generating AI to assign an appropriate amount of tasks based on a member's past task completion speed. This allows the task assignment unit to select the optimal task assignment method based on past task completion history. Past task completion history includes, for example, the number of tasks completed and the time taken to complete them. The optimal task assignment method includes, for example, the type of algorithm and evaluation criteria. Some or all of the above processes in the task assignment unit may be performed using a generating AI, or not. For example, the task assignment unit can input past task completion history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal task assignment method.
[0039] The task assignment unit can filter tasks based on members' current projects and areas of interest when assigning tasks. For example, the task assignment unit can prioritize assigning tasks related to projects that members are currently working on. For example, the task assignment unit can assign tasks that the generating AI finds interesting based on members' areas of interest. For example, the task assignment unit can assign tasks in areas that members have shown interest in in the past. This allows tasks to be filtered based on current projects and areas of interest. Current projects include, for example, project objectives and progress. Areas of interest include, for example, past research topics and survey results. Some or all of the above processing in the task assignment unit may be performed using, for example, the generating AI, or without using the generating AI. For example, the task assignment unit can input data on members' current projects and areas of interest into the generating AI and have the generating AI perform task filtering.
[0040] The task assignment unit can prioritize assigning tasks that are highly relevant to the member, taking into account the member's geographical location information. For example, if a member is in the office, the task assignment unit will assign tasks that can be completed within the office. If a member is working remotely, the task assignment unit will assign tasks that can be completed remotely. If a member is on a business trip, the task assignment unit will assign tasks relevant to the business trip location. This allows for the priority assignment of tasks that are highly relevant based on geographical location information. Geographical location information includes, for example, GPS data and location services. Highly relevant tasks include, for example, geographical proximity and the relevance of the task content. Some or all of the above processing in the task assignment unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the task assignment unit can input the member's geographical location information data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the assignment of highly relevant tasks.
[0041] The task assignment unit can analyze members' social media activity and assign relevant tasks when assigning tasks. For example, the task assignment unit can assign tasks related to topics that members have shown interest in on social media. For example, the task assignment unit can assign tasks related to industries that members follow on social media. For example, the task assignment unit can assign tasks related to articles that members have shared on social media. This allows relevant tasks to be assigned based on social media activity. Social media activity includes, for example, the content of posts and the frequency of activity. Some or all of the above processing in the task assignment unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the task assignment unit can input members' social media activity data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the assignment of relevant tasks.
[0042] The progress monitoring unit can predict current progress by referring to past progress data during progress monitoring. For example, the progress monitoring unit predicts the completion of the current task based on past progress data. For example, the progress monitoring unit predicts the possibility of delays based on past progress data. For example, the progress monitoring unit predicts the completion time of a task based on past progress data. This allows the current progress to be predicted based on past progress data. Past progress data includes, for example, past task completion rates and the degree of delay in progress. Predicting current progress includes, for example, prediction algorithms and evaluation criteria. Some or all of the above processing in the progress monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without using a generative AI. For example, the progress monitoring unit can input past progress data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform a prediction of current progress.
[0043] The progress monitoring unit can apply different monitoring methods to each task category during progress monitoring. For example, the progress monitoring unit can apply a monitoring method that emphasizes the quality of progress to creative tasks, a monitoring method that emphasizes the quantity of progress to technical tasks, and a monitoring method that emphasizes the schedule of progress to managerial tasks. This allows for the application of different monitoring methods to each task category. Task categories include, for example, project tasks and daily work tasks. Monitoring methods include, for example, quantitative monitoring and qualitative monitoring. Some or all of the above processing in the progress monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the progress monitoring unit can input task category data into a generative AI and have the generative AI apply the monitoring method.
[0044] The progress monitoring unit can adjust the frequency of monitoring based on the task submission date during progress monitoring. For example, the progress monitoring unit will frequently monitor the progress of tasks with approaching deadlines. For example, the progress monitoring unit will reduce the frequency of monitoring for tasks with distant deadlines. For example, the progress monitoring unit will monitor the progress of tasks with moderate deadlines at an appropriate frequency. This allows the monitoring frequency to be adjusted based on the task submission date. The task submission date includes, for example, the submission deadline and progress status. The monitoring frequency includes, for example, the degree of delay in progress and the importance of the task. Some or all of the above processing in the progress monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the progress monitoring unit can input task submission date data into a generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the monitoring frequency.
[0045] The progress monitoring unit can improve the accuracy of its monitoring by referring to relevant literature for the task during progress monitoring. For example, the progress monitoring unit can refer to relevant literature for the task and set progress evaluation criteria. For example, the progress monitoring unit can improve the accuracy of progress predictions based on relevant literature for the task. For example, the progress monitoring unit can refer to relevant literature for the task and identify problems in progress. This allows the progress monitoring unit to improve the accuracy of its monitoring by referring to relevant literature for the task. Relevant literature includes, for example, academic papers and technical reports. Monitoring accuracy includes, for example, data accuracy and analysis algorithms. Some or all of the above processing in the progress monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the progress monitoring unit can input relevant literature data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the improvement of monitoring accuracy.
[0046] The feedback provider can adjust the level of detail of the feedback based on the importance of the task when providing feedback. For example, the feedback provider can provide detailed feedback for important tasks, moderately detailed feedback for tasks of moderate importance, and concise feedback for tasks of low importance. This allows the level of detail of the feedback to be adjusted based on the importance of the task. Task importance includes, for example, project priority and task impact. The level of detail of the feedback includes, for example, detailed explanations and concise comments. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback provider may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the feedback provider can input task importance data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the feedback.
[0047] The feedback provider can apply different feedback algorithms depending on the task category when providing feedback. For example, the feedback provider can provide creative feedback for creative tasks, feedback that emphasizes creativity, feedback that emphasizes technical details for technical tasks, and feedback that emphasizes schedule management for managerial tasks. This allows for the application of different feedback algorithms depending on the task category. Task categories include, for example, project tasks and routine tasks. Feedback algorithms include, for example, machine learning algorithms and rule-based algorithms. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback provider may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without using generative AI. For example, the feedback provider can input task category data into a generative AI and have the generative AI apply the feedback algorithm.
[0048] The feedback provider can determine the priority of feedback based on the task submission date when providing feedback. For example, the feedback provider can prioritize providing feedback to tasks with approaching deadlines. For example, it can lower the priority of feedback to tasks with distant deadlines. For example, it can provide feedback with a moderate priority to tasks with medium deadlines. This allows the feedback provider to determine the priority of feedback based on the task submission date. The task submission date includes, for example, the submission deadline and progress status. The priority of feedback includes, for example, the importance and urgency of the task. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback provider may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the feedback provider can input task submission date data into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the priority of feedback.
[0049] The feedback provider can adjust the order of feedback based on the relevance of the tasks when providing feedback. For example, the feedback provider can provide feedback first to important tasks. For example, it can provide feedback in an appropriate order to tasks of moderate importance. For example, it can provide feedback last to tasks of low importance. This allows the feedback to be adjusted based on the relevance of the tasks. Task relevance includes, for example, the relevance of the task content or the relevance of the project. The order of feedback includes, for example, order by importance or order of submission. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback provider may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the feedback provider can input task relevance data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the adjustment of the feedback order.
[0050] The communication analysis unit can improve the accuracy of its analysis by considering the interrelationships between dialogues during communication analysis. For example, the communication analysis unit can analyze the frequency and content of dialogues between members and identify interrelationships. For example, the communication analysis unit can analyze the tone and emotions of dialogues between members and identify interrelationships. For example, the communication analysis unit can analyze the timing and context of dialogues between members and identify interrelationships. This allows the accuracy of the analysis to be improved by considering the interrelationships between dialogues. Interrelationships between dialogues include, for example, the frequency and content of the dialogues. Accuracy of the analysis includes, for example, the accuracy of the data and the analysis algorithm. Some or all of the above processing in the communication analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the communication analysis unit can input dialogue interrelationship data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the analysis accuracy improvement.
[0051] The communication analysis unit can perform analysis while considering the attribute information of the members. For example, the communication analysis unit can analyze the importance of communication by considering the member's position and job responsibilities. For example, the communication analysis unit can analyze the content of communication by considering the member's years of experience and skill set. For example, the communication analysis unit can analyze the frequency of communication by considering the member's working hours and work location.

This enables a quick response.
[0071] (Example of form 2) The Task Equalizer system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to optimize the balance of work and collaboration within a team. The Task Equalizer system is designed to eliminate unfair situations in traditional organizations, such as work being concentrated on specific members or work progressing only among close friends. This solves problems such as uneven workload distribution, decreased motivation among other members, and reduced team efficiency. The Task Equalizer system consists of the following elements: Fair automatic task assignment: The generative AI analyzes each member's skills and workload and automatically distributes tasks to prevent workload imbalance. Analysis of communication imbalance: The generative AI analyzes the status of dialogue and collaboration within the team and visualizes and improves situations where work is progressing only among specific members. Real-time feedback: The generative AI constantly monitors the work status and notifies the leader of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. For example, to prevent work from being concentrated on specific members, the generative AI assigns tasks considering each member's skill set and current workload. The generative AI analyzes chat logs and email exchanges and notifies the leader if communication is concentrated only among specific members. If a particular member is taking on an excessive workload or if a specific task is falling behind schedule, the generating AI sends an alert to the leader. This allows the Task Equalizer system to eliminate excessive burdens on specific members, ensuring that everyone contributes equally to the work. The generating AI prevents workload imbalances by assigning tasks considering each member's skills and workload. The generating AI analyzes communication imbalances and provides improvement suggestions, enhancing overall team collaboration. The generating AI monitors work status in real time and provides feedback to leaders, enabling quick responses. The Task Equalizer system leverages generating AI to improve work efficiency and fairness. This leads to increased productivity and motivation for the entire team, enabling efficient work operations.This allows the Task Equalizer system to optimize team workload balance and collaboration, resulting in fairer work distribution and increased productivity.
[0072] The Task Equalizer system according to this embodiment comprises a task assignment unit, a progress monitoring unit, and a feedback provision unit. The task assignment unit assigns tasks. The task assignment unit, for example, analyzes each member's skills and workload using a generating AI and automatically distributes tasks.

For example, the feedback provision unit enables quick responses by using a generating AI to monitor the work status in real time and provide feedback to leaders. As a result, the Task Equalizer system according to this embodiment can efficiently assign tasks, monitor progress, and provide feedback.
[0073] The task assignment unit assigns tasks. For example, the task assignment unit analyzes each member's skills and workload using a generative AI and automatically distributes tasks. Specifically, the generative AI retrieves each member's past work history, skill set, and current workload from a database and uses this information to make optimal task assignments. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze members' skills and experience and identify the member best suited for each task. The generative AI also monitors each member's current workload in real time and distributes tasks to prevent work from concentrating on any particular member. For example, if member A currently has 5 tasks while member B only has 2, the generative AI will adjust the assignment so that the next task is assigned to member B. Furthermore, the generative AI also takes into account task priority and deadlines, prioritizing the assignment of high-urgency tasks. This allows the task assignment unit to prevent workload imbalances and optimally utilize each member's skills and workload. The generative AI can also periodically evaluate the progress of tasks and reassign tasks as needed. For example, if a particular task is behind schedule, the generation AI can distribute that task to other members, thereby ensuring smooth progress across the entire project. This allows the task assignment department to manage tasks efficiently and flexibly, improving the overall productivity of the project.
[0074] The progress monitoring unit monitors the progress of tasks assigned by the task assignment unit. For example, the progress monitoring unit uses a generation AI to constantly monitor work status and notify leaders of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. Specifically, the generation AI tracks the task progress of each member in real time and identifies tasks that are behind schedule or members who are overburdened. The generation AI analyzes task progress data and evaluates whether it is progressing according to schedule. For example, it compares the scheduled completion date of a task with the current progress rate and sends an alert to the leader if a delay occurs. The generation AI also analyzes each member's working hours and task completion status, and reports to the leader if a particular member is overburdened. This allows the leader to respond quickly and reassign tasks or adjust resources as needed. Furthermore, the progress monitoring unit can also perform trend analysis based on past data and predict future risks. For example, by analyzing past project data, if a particular task tends to be prone to delays, countermeasures can be taken in advance. This allows the progress monitoring unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also handle long-term risk management, enabling the smooth progress of the entire project.
[0075] The Feedback Department provides feedback based on the progress monitored by the Progress Monitoring Department. For example, the Feedback Department uses a generating AI to constantly monitor work status and notify leaders of members who are overburdened or tasks that are behind schedule. Specifically, the generating AI analyzes the task progress of each member and provides specific feedback to the leader. For example, if a particular member is taking on an excessive amount of work, the generating AI will suggest ways to reduce that member's workload. Also, if a particular task is behind schedule, the generating AI will analyze the cause and suggest solutions to the leader. For example, if the delay in a task is due to a lack of resources, the generating AI will suggest allocating additional resources. Furthermore, the Feedback Department can also provide feedback to members themselves to encourage self-improvement. For example, the generating AI will evaluate each member's work performance and provide feedback on areas for improvement and success stories. This allows members to objectively understand their own work performance and strive for self-improvement. In addition, the Feedback Department generates regular reports to inform leaders of the overall project progress and risks. This allows leaders to grasp the overall picture of the project and make appropriate decisions. This allows the feedback department to contribute not only to real-time feedback but also to long-term business improvement, thereby contributing to the overall success of the project.
[0076] The task assignment unit can automatically distribute tasks by analyzing each member's skills and workload using a generating AI. For example, the task assignment unit assigns tasks considering each member's skill set and current workload. The task assignment unit prevents workload imbalances by having the generating AI consider members' skills and workloads when assigning tasks. For example, the task assignment unit automatically assigns the optimal task by having the generating AI analyze each member's skills and workload. This allows for automatic task distribution based on each member's skills and workload. Skills include, for example, technical skills and soft skills. Workload includes, for example, working time and task difficulty. Technologies such as deep learning and natural language processing are used in the generating AI.
[0077] The Communication Analysis Department uses AI to analyze team dialogue and collaboration, enabling the visualization and improvement of situations where work is progressing only among specific members.

This allows for the visualization and improvement of situations where work is progressing only among specific members. Communication analysis includes, for example, analysis of dialogue frequency and content.
[0078] The feedback system can notify leaders of tasks that are behind schedule or members who are being unfairly burdened. For example, the feedback system's AI continuously monitors work status and notifies leaders of members who are being unfairly burdened or tasks that are behind schedule. For example, if a particular member is taking on an excessive amount of work or if a particular task is behind schedule, the AI will send an alert to the leader. The feedback system enables quick responses by having the AI monitor work status in real time and provide feedback to leaders. This allows leaders to be notified of tasks that are behind schedule or members who are being unfairly burdened. Being behind schedule includes, for example, a percentage behind schedule. Being unfairly burdened includes, for example, a disproportionate amount of work concentrated on a particular member.

The burden analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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."
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.

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.
