Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.
[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[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. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] 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.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 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 application prototype automatic generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically generates application prototypes using generative AI for the purpose of improving internal business operations within a company. Many companies have numerous applications used at the business unit or department level, and these applications often have a limited number of users. Although the data handled and the details differ, most applications are based on CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and share a common basic structure. Recently, the technology of creating simple applications (e.g., calculators, roulette, etc.) using generative AI has attracted attention. This technology is further developed to create a system in which the user answers questions from the AI to clarify the requirements of the application they want to realize, and the AI creates a prototype application based on those answers. The user can then proceed with development based on this prototype. Furthermore, it is expected that requirements definition documents and design documents can also be output, significantly reducing the man-hours required in the initial stages of development. For example, the user answers questions from the AI. For example, the user answers questions such as "What functions are needed?" and "What kind of data will be handled?". These answers are input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input answers to clarify the requirements of the application. The generating AI identifies the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses. For example, if a user responds that they want to create a "customer management system," the generating AI will identify functions such as registering, searching, updating, and deleting customer information. The generating AI then creates a prototype application based on the identified requirements. Based on the identified functions and data structures, the generating AI generates application code. For example, it generates code for performing CRUD operations on customer information. Furthermore, the generating AI also outputs documents such as requirements specifications and design documents. This allows users to proceed with development based on the prototype application and significantly reduces the initial development effort. This mechanism is expected to streamline internal business processes and drastically shorten the system development process.For example, the time between the start of a system development project and the actual development begins will be shortened, leading to smoother project progress. Furthermore, automatic generation by AI is expected to ensure the application of optimal technologies, improving system quality. As a result, application prototype automatic generation systems can streamline internal business processes and significantly shorten the system development process.
[0029] The application prototype automatic generation system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. The reception unit receives user responses. User responses include, but are not limited to, text format, multiple-choice format, etc. The reception unit presents, for example, the types of questions the user should answer. For example, the reception unit can present the user with questions such as "What functions are needed?" or "What kind of data will be handled?" The analysis unit analyzes the responses received by the reception unit and clarifies the application requirements. The analysis is performed using, for example, techniques such as natural language processing or data mining, but is not limited to, such techniques. For example, the analysis unit identifies the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses. For example, if the user answers that they want to create a "customer management system," the analysis unit identifies functions such as registering, searching, updating, and deleting customer information. The generation unit creates a prototype application based on the requirements clarified by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates application code based on, for example, the identified functions and data structures. Code generation is performed based on, for example, the programming language to be used or a code template, but is not limited to, such examples. For example, the generation unit generates code for performing CRUD operations on customer information. The output unit outputs requirements specifications and design documents based on the prototype application created by the generation unit. Requirements specifications and design documents include, but are not limited to, items and formats to be included. For example, the output unit automatically generates requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application. As a result, the application prototype automatic generation system according to the embodiment can significantly reduce the man-hours required in the early stages of development by automatically generating an application prototype based on user responses and outputting requirements specifications and design documents. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and output unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, when the reception unit receives user responses, it can use AI to analyze the user's responses and present appropriate questions.The analysis unit can analyze user responses using a generation AI to identify necessary functions and data structures. The generation unit can generate code using the generation AI when creating a prototype application based on the identified requirements. The output unit can generate documents using AI when outputting requirements definition documents and design documents based on the generated prototype application.
[0030] The reception desk receives user responses. User responses may include, but are not limited to, text format or multiple-choice format. The reception desk may, for example, present the types of questions the user can answer. For example, the reception desk may ask the user questions such as "What functions do you need?" or "What kind of data will you be handling?" Specifically, the reception desk displays the questions through the user interface and provides text boxes or multiple-choice options for the user to enter their answers. If the user answers in text format, the reception desk receives the text and stores it in the database. If the answer is in multiple-choice format, the reception desk records the option selected by the user and stores it in the database as well. Furthermore, the reception desk can dynamically generate subsequent questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the user requests a "customer management system," the reception desk can then present a more detailed question such as "What fields will be included in the customer information?" This allows the reception desk to provide a flexible question flow tailored to the user's needs and collect more specific requirements. The reception desk can also analyze user responses in real time and provide appropriate feedback. For example, if a user's answer is incorrect or unclear, it can immediately display a message prompting correction. This allows the reception unit to improve the accuracy of user responses and facilitate the subsequent processing by the analysis and generation units.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the responses received by the reception unit to clarify the application requirements. The analysis is performed using techniques such as natural language processing and data mining, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the analysis unit tokenizes the user's responses and extracts important keywords and phrases. For example, from the response "customer management system," it identifies keywords such as "customer information," "registration," "search," "update," and "delete." Next, based on these keywords, it identifies the necessary functions and data structures. For example, it analyzes that "customer information" includes items such as "name," "address," and "telephone number." Furthermore, the analysis unit can understand the user's responses in context and supplement related requirements. For example, if the user responds that "a customer information search function is needed," the analysis unit can also identify detailed requirements such as "how search results are displayed" and "how search conditions are set." Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit clarifies the application requirements and hands them over to the generation unit. The analysis unit can also perform more accurate analyses by utilizing knowledge gained from past data and similar projects. For example, by referring to the requirements of previously created customer management systems and comparing them with user responses, the necessary functions and data structures can be supplemented. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze user responses and clarify application requirements.
[0032] The generation unit creates a prototype application based on the requirements clarified by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates application code based on identified functions and data structures. Code generation is performed based on, for example, the programming language and code templates to be used, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generation unit selects an appropriate programming language and applies code templates based on the requirements received from the analysis unit. For example, when generating code to perform CRUD operations on customer information, it automatically generates code for the database schema definition, data access layer, business logic layer, and user interface layer. The generation unit integrates this code to create a working prototype application. Furthermore, the generation unit can perform automated testing after code generation to ensure code quality. For example, it can run unit tests and integration tests on the generated code to verify that it functions correctly. In addition, the generation unit can provide customizable code according to user requirements. For example, if a user desires a specific design or layout, customization can be performed to meet those requirements. This allows the generation unit to quickly create high-quality prototype applications based on user requirements.
[0033] The output unit outputs requirements specifications and design documents based on the prototype application created by the generation unit. These documents include, but are not limited to, items and formats. Specifically, the output unit analyzes the code and database schema of the generated prototype application and automatically generates the requirements specifications and design documents based on them. The requirements specifications detail the application's purpose, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and data requirements. The design documents include the system architecture, database design, interface design, and flowcharts. The output unit outputs these documents in the appropriate format and provides them to the user. For example, it can generate documents in PDF or Word format for users to download. The output unit can also save the generated documents to cloud storage and share them with team members. Furthermore, the output unit can receive user feedback and modify / update the document content. For example, if a user wants to make changes to the requirements specifications, the output unit reflects those changes and regenerates the latest document. This allows the output unit to provide users with accurate and up-to-date requirements specifications and design documents, facilitating a smooth development process.
[0034] The reception desk can present the types of questions the user should answer. For example, the reception desk might ask the user questions such as "What functions do you need?" or "What kind of data will you be handling?". By presenting the types of questions the user should answer, the reception desk can efficiently provide the user with the information they need. The types of questions include, but are not limited to, technical questions or business questions. This allows the reception desk to efficiently provide the user with the information they need by presenting the types of questions the user should answer. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, when presenting the types of questions the user should answer, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the user's answers and present appropriate questions.
[0035] The analysis unit can identify the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses. For example, if the user responds that they want to create a "customer management system," the analysis unit will identify functions such as registering, searching, updating, and deleting customer information. This clarifies the application requirements by identifying the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses. The necessary functions and data structures include, but are not limited to, a list of functions and a database schema. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not. For example, when analyzing the user's responses, the analysis unit can use generative AI to analyze the content of the responses and identify the necessary functions and data structures.
[0036] The generation unit can generate application code based on specified functions and data structures. For example, the generation unit generates code to perform CRUD operations on customer information. This allows for the rapid creation of prototype applications by generating application code based on specified functions and data structures. Code generation includes, but is not limited to, the programming language to be used and code templates. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or not. For example, the generation unit can use a generation AI to generate code when creating a prototype application based on specified requirements.
[0037] The output unit can output requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application. For example, the output unit can output requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application. For example, the output unit can automatically generate requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application. This significantly reduces the man-hours required in the early stages of development by outputting requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application. Requirements specifications and design documents include, but are not limited to, items to be included and format. Some or all of the above-described processes in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, when outputting requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application, the output unit can use AI to generate the documents.
[0038] The generation unit can generate code for performing CRUD operations on customer information. For example, the generation unit generates code for performing CRUD operations on customer information. For example, the generation unit generates code that includes functions such as registering, searching, updating, and deleting customer information. This allows for the rapid creation of a prototype of a customer management system by generating code for performing CRUD operations on customer information. CRUD operations on customer information include, but are not limited to, procedures for creating, reading, updating, and deleting data. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or not using a generation AI. For example, when generating code for performing CRUD operations on customer information, the generation unit can use a generation AI to generate the code.
[0039] The reception desk can analyze a user's past response history and dynamically generate the most appropriate questions. For example, the reception desk can automatically generate relevant questions based on the user's past responses. For example, the reception desk can analyze a user's past response patterns and prioritize presenting important unanswered questions. The reception desk can also efficiently collect information by omitting duplicate questions from the user's past response history. This allows for the automatic generation of relevant questions and efficient information collection by analyzing the user's past response history. Past response history includes, but is not limited to, the format in which responses are saved and the analysis algorithms used. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, when analyzing a user's past response history, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the content of the responses and generate the most appropriate questions.
[0040] The reception desk can customize the content of questions based on the user's current work situation when presenting them. For example, if the user is busy, the reception desk can present concise and to-the-point questions. For example, if the user has time, the reception desk can present detailed questions to gather more in-depth information. The reception desk can also prioritize presenting relevant questions according to the user's work content. This allows for efficient information gathering by customizing the content of questions according to the user's work situation. Current work situation includes, but is not limited to, the stage of a business process or the content of the work. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, when analyzing the user's current work situation, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the content of the work and present the most appropriate questions.
[0041] The reception desk can prioritize presenting highly relevant questions by considering the user's geographical location when presenting questions. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception desk can prioritize presenting questions related to that region. For example, if the user is on the move, the reception desk can present questions related to their destination. Furthermore, the reception desk can present questions that take into account region-specific requirements based on the user's location information. This allows for the efficient collection of information by prioritizing highly relevant questions and considering the user's geographical location information. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data and location services. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not. For example, when analyzing the user's geographical location information, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the location information and present the most appropriate questions.
[0042] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity and present relevant questions when presenting them. For example, the reception desk can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and present relevant questions. For example, the reception desk can present relevant questions based on the activity of the user's followers and friends. The reception desk can also analyze the user's interests on social media and present relevant questions. This allows for the efficient collection of information by presenting relevant questions through the analysis of the user's social media activity. Social media activity includes, but is not limited to, the analysis of post content and follower analysis. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not. For example, when analyzing the user's social media activity, the reception desk can use AI to analyze post content and follower activity and present the most appropriate questions.
[0043] The analysis unit can improve its analysis algorithm by referring to the user's past response data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can adjust the analysis algorithm based on the user's past response data to improve accuracy. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the user's past response patterns and select the optimal analysis method. Furthermore, the analysis unit can refer to the user's past response data to omit redundant analysis and perform analysis efficiently. In this way, by referring to the user's past response data, the analysis algorithm can be optimized and accuracy can be improved. Past response data includes, but is not limited to, data storage format and database structure. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, when the analysis unit refers to the user's past response data, it can use generative AI to analyze the data and select the optimal analysis algorithm.
[0044] The analysis unit can customize the analysis method based on the user's business process during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can select the optimal analysis method according to the user's business process. For example, the analysis unit can customize the analysis method based on the user's work content to improve accuracy. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's business process and propose an efficient analysis method.

[0062] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0063] Step 1: The reception desk receives user responses. User responses may include, but are not limited to, text format, multiple-choice format, etc. The reception desk may, for example, present the types of questions the user should answer. For example, the reception desk may present the user with questions such as "What functions do you need?" or "What kind of data will you be handling?" Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the responses received by the reception unit to clarify the application requirements. The analysis is performed using techniques such as natural language processing and data mining, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the analysis unit identifies the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses.

Requirements specifications and design documents include, but are not limited to, items and formats to be included. For example, the output unit automatically generates requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application.
[0064] (Example of form 2) The application prototype automatic generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically generates application prototypes using generative AI for the purpose of improving internal business operations within a company. Many companies have numerous applications used at the business unit or department level, and these applications often have a limited number of users. Although the data handled and the details differ, most applications are based on CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and share a common basic structure. Recently, the technology of creating simple applications (e.g., calculators, roulette, etc.) using generative AI has attracted attention. This technology is further developed to create a system in which the user answers questions from the AI to clarify the requirements of the application they want to realize, and the AI creates a prototype application based on those answers. The user can then proceed with development based on this prototype. Furthermore, it is expected that requirements definition documents and design documents can also be output, significantly reducing the man-hours required in the initial stages of development. For example, the user answers questions from the AI. For example, the user answers questions such as "What functions are needed?" and "What kind of data will be handled?". These answers are input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input answers to clarify the requirements of the application. The generating AI identifies the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses. For example, if a user responds that they want to create a "customer management system," the generating AI will identify functions such as registering, searching, updating, and deleting customer information. The generating AI then creates a prototype application based on the identified requirements. Based on the identified functions and data structures, the generating AI generates application code. For example, it generates code for performing CRUD operations on customer information. Furthermore, the generating AI also outputs documents such as requirements specifications and design documents. This allows users to proceed with development based on the prototype application and significantly reduces the initial development effort. This mechanism is expected to streamline internal business processes and drastically shorten the system development process.For example, the time between the start of a system development project and the actual development begins will be shortened, leading to smoother project progress. Furthermore, automatic generation by AI is expected to ensure the application of optimal technologies, improving system quality. As a result, application prototype automatic generation systems can streamline internal business processes and significantly shorten the system development process.
[0065] The application prototype automatic generation system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an output unit. The reception unit receives user responses. User responses include, but are not limited to, text format, multiple-choice format, etc. The reception unit presents, for example, the types of questions the user should answer. For example, the reception unit can present the user with questions such as "What functions are needed?" or "What kind of data will be handled?" The analysis unit analyzes the responses received by the reception unit and clarifies the application requirements. The analysis is performed using, for example, techniques such as natural language processing or data mining, but is not limited to, such techniques. For example, the analysis unit identifies the necessary functions and data structures based on the user's responses. For example, if the user answers that they want to create a "customer management system," the analysis unit identifies functions such as registering, searching, updating, and deleting customer information. The generation unit creates a prototype application based on the requirements clarified by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates application code based on, for example, the identified functions and data structures. Code generation is performed based on, for example, the programming language to be used or a code template, but is not limited to, such examples. For example, the generation unit generates code for performing CRUD operations on customer information.

Requirements specifications and design documents include, but are not limited to, items and formats to be included. For example, the output unit automatically generates requirements specifications and design documents based on the generated prototype application. As a result, the application prototype automatic generation system according to the embodiment can significantly reduce the man-hours required in the early stages of development by automatically generating an application prototype based on user responses and outputting requirements specifications and design documents. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and output unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, when the reception unit receives user responses, it can use AI to analyze the user's responses and present appropriate questions.The analysis unit can analyze user responses using a generation AI to identify necessary functions and data structures. The generation unit can generate code using the generation AI when creating a prototype application based on the identified requirements. The output unit can generate documents using AI when outputting requirements definition documents and design documents based on the generated prototype application.
[0066] The reception desk receives user responses. User responses may include, but are not limited to, text format or multiple-choice format. The reception desk may, for example, present the types of questions the user can answer. For example, the reception desk may ask the user questions such as "What functions do you need?" or "What kind of data will you be handling?" Specifically, the reception desk displays the questions through the user interface and provides text boxes or multiple-choice options for the user to enter their answers. If the user answers in text format, the reception desk receives the text and stores it in the database. If the answer is in multiple-choice format, the reception desk records the option selected by the user and stores it in the database as well. Furthermore, the reception desk can dynamically generate subsequent questions based on the user's answers. For example, if the user requests a "customer management system," the reception desk can then present a more detailed question such as "What fields will be included in the customer information?" This allows the reception desk to provide a flexible question flow tailored to the user's needs and collect more specific requirements. The reception desk can also analyze user responses in real time and provide appropriate feedback. For example, if a user's answer is incorrect or unclear, it can immediately display a message prompting correction. This allows the reception unit to improve the accuracy of user responses and facilitate the subsequent processing by the analysis and generation units.
[0067] The analysis unit analyzes the responses received by the reception unit to clarify the application requirements. The analysis is performed using techniques such as natural language processing and data mining, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the analysis unit tokenizes the user's responses and extracts important keywords and phrases. For example, from the response "customer management system," it identifies keywords such as "customer information," "registration," "search," "update," and "delete." Next, based on these keywords, it identifies the necessary functions and data structures. For example, it analyzes that "customer information" includes items such as "name," "address," and "telephone number." Furthermore, the analysis unit can understand the user's responses in context and supplement related requirements. For example, if the user responds that "a customer information search function is needed," the analysis unit can also identify detailed requirements such as "how search results are displayed" and "how search conditions are set." Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit clarifies the application requirements and hands them over to the generation unit. The analysis unit can also perform more accurate analyses by utilizing knowledge gained from past data and similar projects. For example, by referring to the requirements of previously created customer management systems and comparing them with user responses, the necessary functions and data structures can be supplemented. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze user responses and clarify application requirements.
[0068] The generation unit creates a prototype application based on the requirements clarified by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit generates application code based on identified functions and data structures. Code generation is performed based on, for example, the programming language and code templates to be used, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generation unit selects an appropriate programming language and applies code templates based on the requirements received from the analysis unit. For example, when generating code to perform CRUD operations on customer information, it automatically generates code for the database schema definition, data access layer, business logic layer, and user interface layer. The generation unit integrates this code to create a working prototype application. Furthermore, the generation unit can perform automated testing after code generation to ensure code quality. For example, it can run unit tests and integration tests on the generated code to verify that it functions correctly. In addition, the generation unit can provide customizable code according to user requirements. For example, if a user desires a specific design or layout, customization can be performed to meet those requirements. This allows the generation unit to quickly create high-quality prototype applications based on user requirements.
[0069] The output unit outputs requirements specifications and design documents based on the prototype application created by the generation unit. These documents include, but are not limited to, items and formats. Specifically, the output unit analyzes the code and database schema of the generated prototype application and automatically generates the requirements specifications and design documents based on them. The requirements specifications detail the application's purpose, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and data requirements. The design documents include the system architecture, database design, interface design, and flowcharts. The output unit outputs these documents in the appropriate format and provides them to the user. For example, it can generate documents in PDF or Word format for users to download. The output unit can also save the generated documents to cloud storage and share them with team members. Furthermore, the output unit can receive user feedback and modify / update the document content. For example, if a user wants to make changes to the requirements specifications, the output unit reflects those changes and regenerates the latest document. This allows the output unit to provide users with accurate and up-to-date requirements specifications and design documents, facilitating a smooth development process.
[0070] The reception desk can present the types of questions the user should answer. For example, the reception desk might ask the user questions such as "What functions do you need?" or "What kind of data will you be handling?". By presenting the types of questions the user should answer, the reception desk can efficiently provide the user with the information they need. The types of questions include, but are not limited to, technical questions or business questions. This allows the reception desk to efficiently provide the user with the information they need by presenting the types of questions the user should answer.

For example, when generating code for performing CRUD operations on customer information, the generation unit can use a generation AI to generate the code.
[0075] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the order in which questions are presented based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception desk can start with simple questions and gradually increase the difficulty. For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception desk can present detailed questions first to efficiently gather information. Also, if the user is in a hurry, the reception desk can prioritize important questions to quickly clarify requirements. In this way, by adjusting the order in which questions are presented based on the user's emotions, the user's stress can be reduced and information can be gathered efficiently. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, when estimating the user's emotions, the reception desk can use AI to analyze the user's facial expressions and voice to estimate their emotions.

[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0143] 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.

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.).
[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0145] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT.

The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 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.

[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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).
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.).
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and output unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and receives the user's response. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the received response. The generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates a prototype application. The output unit is implemented by the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and outputs requirements definition documents and design documents. 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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."
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.

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.
