[0028] (Example of form 1) The Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system designed to address the current situation where business succession-type M&A is becoming more active, against the backdrop of a shortage of successors for small and medium-sized enterprises. The Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System works by having the seller input quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business valuation, and the AI interviews managers and employees to acquire information that can be used for business valuation, and calculates an appropriate valuation amount by referring to past M&A data. This valuation amount is provided as a second opinion to be compared with the valuation amount of the intermediary. This allows the seller to confirm an appropriate valuation amount and make a decision on the business transfer at a price they are satisfied with. For example, the Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System has the seller input quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business valuation. For example, financial data such as sales, profits, assets, and liabilities, and non-financial data such as the number of employees, business content, and competitive situation are input. This data is analyzed by the AI. Next, the Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System has the AI interview managers and employees to acquire information that can be used for business valuation. For example, it collects information that cannot be grasped from quantitative data alone, such as the manager's vision and strategy, and the skills and motivation of employees. This information is analyzed by AI. Furthermore, the business valuation second opinion AI system uses AI to reference past M&A data and calculate an appropriate valuation. For example, it refers to past M&A cases of companies in the same industry and of similar size to evaluate the value of the selling company. This valuation is provided as a second opinion to be compared with the valuation of the intermediary. This allows the seller to confirm an appropriate valuation and decide on a business transfer at a price they are satisfied with. For example, if the intermediary's valuation is too low, the seller can use the AI's valuation as a reference in negotiations. Also, if the AI's valuation matches the intermediary's valuation, the seller can proceed with the business transfer with peace of mind. In this way, the business valuation second opinion AI system enables sellers to receive an appropriate business valuation and prevent economic losses. It also strengthens the seller's position by providing a means to counter low-quality valuations from intermediaries. This is expected to facilitate business succession for small and medium-sized enterprises and contribute to economic revitalization.
[0029] The business evaluation second opinion AI system according to this embodiment comprises an input unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The input unit inputs quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business evaluation. For example, the input unit inputs financial data such as sales, profits, assets, and liabilities. The input unit can also input non-financial data such as the number of employees, business content, and competitive situation. For example, the input unit inputs financial data such as sales and profits. The input unit can also input non-financial data such as the number of employees and business content. The analysis unit analyzes the data input by the input unit and calculates an appropriate valuation. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the input data and calculates an appropriate valuation. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze financial data such as sales and profits and calculates an appropriate valuation. The analysis unit can also use AI to analyze non-financial data such as the number of employees and business content and calculate an appropriate valuation. The provision unit provides the valuation calculated by the analysis unit as a second opinion. For example, the provision unit provides the valuation calculated using AI as a second opinion. For example, the service provider can provide the appraisal amount calculated using AI in a report format. Alternatively, the service provider can provide the appraisal amount calculated using AI as a simplified evaluation result. This allows the business valuation second opinion AI system according to this embodiment to enable sellers to confirm a second opinion on a fair appraisal amount and make a decision on the business transfer at a price they are satisfied with.
[0030] The input section allows users to input quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business evaluation. For example, it inputs financial data such as sales, profits, assets, and liabilities. Specifically, it inputs monthly and annual sales data, and detailed profit data such as operating profit and net profit. For assets, it inputs a breakdown of fixed and current assets, and for liabilities, it inputs details of short-term and long-term liabilities. The input section can also input non-financial data such as the number of employees, business content, and competitive landscape. For example, the number of employees can be entered in detail by department and position, and the business content can include details of the type of business and services provided. For the competitive landscape, information on major competitors, market share, and competitive advantages can be entered. This allows the input section to comprehensively collect a wide range of data necessary for business evaluation and provide it to the analysis section. Furthermore, the input section improves user convenience by diversifying data input methods. For example, it supports not only manual input but also automatic input via CSV files and APIs to ensure data accuracy and efficiency. The input section also includes a data integrity check function, automatically detecting input errors and inconsistencies and prompting corrections. This allows the input unit to provide accurate and reliable data, improving the overall accuracy of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data entered by the input unit and calculates an appropriate valuation. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the entered data and calculate an appropriate valuation. Specifically, the AI uses machine learning algorithms to learn from past business evaluation data and predict the optimal valuation based on the entered data. For example, it analyzes financial data such as sales and profits to evaluate the profitability and growth potential of the business. It can also analyze non-financial data such as the number of employees and business content to evaluate the operational efficiency and market competitiveness of the business. Furthermore, the analysis unit calculates a more accurate valuation by combining multiple evaluation models. For example, it uses deep learning models to detect complex patterns and statistical models to analyze the distribution of data. This allows the analysis unit to perform business evaluations from multiple perspectives and provide an appropriate valuation. In addition, the analysis unit can analyze data in real time and provide a valuation based on the latest information. For example, it can quickly update the valuation in response to market fluctuations and changes in the competitive landscape.

For example, it may use graphs and charts to display the information visually and intuitively, allowing users to understand it intuitively. Furthermore, the service provider can provide customized reports according to user needs. For example, it may use evaluation criteria specific to a particular industry or region to provide a more accurate valuation. The service provider can also provide the valuation quickly to users using multiple communication methods. For example, it may send reports via email or cloud storage, allowing users to access them anytime, anywhere. This enables the service provider to provide users with a quick and reliable second opinion, supporting their business transfer decisions. Additionally, the service provider can collect user feedback to continuously improve the accuracy and usefulness of the information it provides. This allows the service provider to always use the latest information and technology to offer users the most suitable second opinion.
[0033] The analysis unit includes an interview unit that conducts interviews with managers and employees to obtain information useful for business evaluation. The interview unit collects information that cannot be grasped by quantitative data alone, such as the vision and strategy of managers and the skills and motivation of employees. For example, the interview unit can interview managers to obtain information useful for business evaluation by listening to their vision and strategy. The interview unit can also interview managers to obtain information useful for business evaluation by listening to their skills and motivation. Furthermore, the interview unit can obtain information useful for business evaluation through interviews with managers and employees. For example, the interview unit can grasp the strengths and weaknesses of the business and future prospects through interviews with managers and employees. This allows for more accurate business evaluation by obtaining information from managers and employees. Some or all of the above processing in the interview unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interview unit can input the content of interviews with managers and employees into AI, and the AI can analyze the information useful for business evaluation.
[0034] The analysis unit includes a reference unit that calculates an appropriate valuation by referring to past M&A data.

[0065] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0066] Step 1: The input section is used to enter quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business evaluation. Specifically, it can input financial data such as sales, profits, assets, and liabilities, as well as non-financial data such as the number of employees, business content, and competitive landscape. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data entered by the input unit and calculates an appropriate valuation. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze financial data such as sales and profits, as well as non-financial data such as the number of employees and business details, and calculates an appropriate valuation. Step 3: The service provider provides the assessed value calculated by the analysis unit as a second opinion. The service provider can provide the assessed value calculated using AI in report format or as a simplified evaluation result.
[0067] (Example of form 2) The Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system designed to address the current situation where business succession-type M&A is becoming more active, against the backdrop of a shortage of successors for small and medium-sized enterprises. The Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System works by having the seller input quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business valuation, and the AI interviews managers and employees to acquire information that can be used for business valuation, and calculates an appropriate valuation amount by referring to past M&A data. This valuation amount is provided as a second opinion to be compared with the valuation amount of the intermediary. This allows the seller to confirm an appropriate valuation amount and make a decision on the business transfer at a price they are satisfied with. For example, the Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System has the seller input quantitative and qualitative data necessary for business valuation. For example, financial data such as sales, profits, assets, and liabilities, and non-financial data such as the number of employees, business content, and competitive situation are input. This data is analyzed by the AI. Next, the Business Valuation Second Opinion AI System has the AI interview managers and employees to acquire information that can be used for business valuation. For example, it collects information that cannot be grasped from quantitative data alone, such as the manager's vision and strategy, and the skills and motivation of employees. This information is analyzed by AI. Furthermore, the business valuation second opinion AI system uses AI to reference past M&A data and calculate an appropriate valuation. For example, it refers to past M&A cases of companies in the same industry and of similar size to evaluate the value of the selling company. This valuation is provided as a second opinion to be compared with the valuation of the intermediary. This allows the seller to confirm an appropriate valuation and decide on a business transfer at a price they are satisfied with. For example, if the intermediary's valuation is too low, the seller can use the AI's valuation as a reference in negotiations. Also, if the AI's valuation matches the intermediary's valuation, the seller can proceed with the business transfer with peace of mind. In this way, the business valuation second opinion AI system enables sellers to receive an appropriate business valuation and prevent economic losses. It also strengthens the seller's position by providing a means to counter low-quality valuations from intermediaries. This is expected to facilitate business succession for small and medium-sized enterprises and contribute to economic revitalization.

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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.

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.

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.

[0156] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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 microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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).
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.).
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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).

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.

[0171] 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.
[0172] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the input unit, analysis unit, provision unit, interview unit, and reference unit, is implemented by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the input unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and inputs financial data such as sales and profits. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the input data to calculate an appropriate appraisal value. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides the calculated appraisal value as a second opinion. The interview unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 to interview managers and employees and acquire information that will be useful for business evaluation. The reference unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and refers to past M&A data to calculate an appropriate appraisal value. 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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."
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
