[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 authenticity verification system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to analyze product images and videos and perform authenticity verification. In this system, the user uploads product images or videos, and the generating AI analyzes them to evaluate the authenticity of the product. For example, if a user uploads an image of a Rolex watch, the generating AI analyzes the image and determines whether it matches a Rolex model. As an authentication result, information such as "Matches Rolex model. Probability of authenticity: 88%" or "Highly unlikely to be a diamond. Probability of authenticity: 22%" is provided. This system can also be used on e-commerce sites, allowing users to purchase products with confidence. The specific steps are as follows: First, the user uploads product images or videos. Next, the generating AI analyzes the uploaded images or videos. The generating AI performs image analysis and comparison with past product data to evaluate the authenticity of the product. Finally, the generating AI performs authenticity verification based on the analysis results and provides the authentication result. This allows the user to check the authentication result and purchase products with confidence. This system targets general consumers and addresses the challenge of distinguishing counterfeit branded and expensive goods. The generating AI evaluates the authenticity of products through image analysis and comparison with past product data. This allows users to purchase products with confidence and reduces the risk of buying counterfeit items. The authenticity verification system can analyze product images and videos uploaded by users to determine authenticity.
[0029] The authenticity authentication system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, an authentication unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit accepts product images and videos uploaded by users. The reception unit can accept images and videos in formats such as JPEG, PNG, and MP4. The reception unit temporarily stores the images and videos uploaded by the user and transmits them to the analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes the images and videos uploaded by the reception unit using a generation AI. The analysis unit extracts product features using image analysis techniques such as deep learning and edge detection. The analysis unit evaluates the authenticity of the product by comparing it with past product data. For example, the analysis unit compares the uploaded images and videos with past product data using database search and similarity calculation. The authentication unit determines the authenticity of the product based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. The authentication unit determines the authenticity of the product using, for example, a reliability score and a judgment algorithm. The authentication unit provides authentication results including probabilities and detailed explanations regarding the authenticity of the product. The provisioning unit provides the user with the appraisal results obtained by the appraisal unit. The provisioning unit provides the user with the appraisal results, for example, using a notification method or display format. The provisioning unit ensures that the user can purchase products with confidence. As a result, the authenticity appraisal system according to the embodiment can analyze product images and videos uploaded by the user and perform authenticity appraisal.
[0030] The reception desk accepts user uploads of product images and videos. The reception desk can accept images and videos in formats such as JPEG, PNG, and MP4. Specifically, when users upload images and videos via a dedicated web portal or mobile app, the reception desk automatically recognizes these file formats and temporarily stores them in the appropriate format. The reception desk also simultaneously acquires metadata of the uploaded files (e.g., shooting date and time, resolution, file size, etc.) and prepares this information for transmission to the analysis department. Furthermore, the reception desk checks the quality of images and videos uploaded by users and has a function to prompt users to re-upload if any are unclear. For example, if an image is blurry or a video is interrupted, the reception desk automatically detects this and sends a notification to the user requesting re-upload. This allows the analysis department to receive high-quality data, improving the accuracy of authenticity verification. The reception desk also includes security features to safely manage user-uploaded data, protecting user privacy through data encryption and access control. This allows the reception department to provide an environment where users can upload product images and videos with peace of mind, thereby increasing the overall reliability of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze images and videos uploaded by the reception unit. Specifically, it extracts product features using image analysis techniques such as deep learning and edge detection. The generative AI is pre-trained using a large amount of training data, enabling it to detect even the finest features and patterns of products with high accuracy. For example, the deep learning model analyzes the surface texture, logo placement, and stitching patterns of the product, extracting these features as numerical data. Edge detection technology is used to clarify the contours and shapes of the product and to analyze its appearance in detail. The analysis unit combines these techniques to analyze product features from multiple angles and generate data necessary for evaluating authenticity. Furthermore, the analysis unit evaluates the authenticity of products by comparing them with past product data. Specifically, it compares uploaded images and videos with past product data using database searches and similarity calculations. For example, it checks whether the position and shape of the product's logo match past data and calculates a similarity score. This allows the analysis unit to evaluate the authenticity of products with high accuracy. Furthermore, the analysis unit has the functionality to update analysis results in real time and recalculate the evaluation whenever new data is added. This allows the analysis unit to always perform highly accurate analysis based on the latest information, thereby improving the reliability of the entire system.
[0032] The authentication department determines the authenticity of an item based on the results analyzed by the analysis department. Specifically, it uses a reliability score and a judgment algorithm to determine the authenticity of a product. The reliability score is calculated based on the feature data and similarity score provided by the analysis department and indicates the probability of the product being authentic. For example, if the product's features show a high degree of agreement with past data, the reliability score will be high, and conversely, if there is no agreement, it will be low. The judgment algorithm comprehensively evaluates these scores to finally determine the authenticity of the product. The authentication department provides authentication results that include the probability of the product's authenticity and a detailed explanation. For example, it provides explanations based on specific features such as the position and shape of the product's logo and the sewing pattern, making it easy for users to understand the authentication results. Furthermore, the authentication department has a function to continuously improve the accuracy of the judgment algorithm based on past authentication results and user feedback. As a result, the authentication department can always perform highly accurate authenticity judgments based on the latest information and technology, and provide users with reliable authentication results. Furthermore, the appraisal department is equipped with a function to conduct reviews by multiple experts, and for particularly important appraisal results, expert opinions are incorporated into the final decision. This allows the appraisal department to perform more reliable authenticity determinations, enabling users to use the service with confidence.
[0033] The service provider delivers the appraisal results obtained by the appraisal department to the user. Specifically, it provides the appraisal results to the user using notification methods and display formats. For example, it allows users to check the appraisal results through a dedicated web portal or mobile app. The service provider provides an interface for visually easy-to-understand display of the appraisal results, presenting the user with appraisal results including reliability scores and detailed explanations. Furthermore, the service provider also has a function to provide advice and recommendations to help users take appropriate action based on the appraisal results. For example, if the authenticity is questionable, it guides the user through the return or exchange procedure, and if the authenticity is confirmed, it provides advice on how to use the product with peace of mind. The service provider also has a function to collect user feedback and use it to improve the display and notification methods of appraisal results. This allows the service provider to provide users with quick and appropriate information and improve the overall usability of the system. Furthermore, the service provider can reliably transmit information using multiple notification methods. For example, in addition to notifications from the web portal and mobile app, it uses a combination of email, SMS, and push notifications to ensure that important information reaches the user. This allows the service provider to quickly and reliably provide appraisal results to users, enabling them to purchase products with confidence.
[0034] The analysis unit can perform image analysis and comparison with past product data. For example, the analysis unit can perform image analysis using deep learning. For example, the analysis unit can extract product features and compare them with past product data. The analysis unit can also analyze the contour of a product using edge detection. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the shape and design of a product and compare it with past product data. The analysis unit can also calculate the similarity to past product data using database searches. For example, the analysis unit can match product images with a database and calculate a similarity score. This allows for the evaluation of the authenticity of a product by performing image analysis and comparison with past product data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input product images into a generative AI, which can perform image analysis and extract product features.
[0035] The authentication unit can provide authentication results that include probabilities and detailed explanations regarding the authenticity of a product. For example, the authentication unit can calculate the probability of authenticity using Bayesian estimation. For example, the authentication unit can calculate the probability of authenticity based on the product's characteristics. The authentication unit can also evaluate the probability of authenticity using confidence intervals. For example, the authentication unit can set confidence intervals based on the product's characteristics and evaluate the probability of authenticity. The authentication unit can also provide authentication results that include detailed explanations. For example, the authentication unit can provide the product's characteristics and analysis results as text descriptions or charts. This allows users to purchase products with confidence by providing authentication results that include probabilities and detailed explanations regarding the authenticity of a product. Some or all of the above processing in the authentication unit may be performed using or without a generative AI. For example, the authentication unit can input the product's characteristics into a generative AI, which can then calculate the probability of authenticity and generate a detailed explanation.
[0036] The service provider can ensure that users can purchase products with confidence. For example, the service provider can indicate the reliability of a product to the user using a reliability score. For example, the service provider can display the probability of a product being genuine as a reliability score. The service provider can also display user reviews. For example, the service provider can display reviews posted by other users to evaluate the reliability of a product. The service provider can also provide authentication results to the user using notification methods. For example, the service provider can notify the user of the authentication results using email or push notifications. This reduces the risk of purchasing counterfeit goods by allowing users to purchase products with confidence. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using or without a generative AI. For example, the service provider can have a generative AI calculate the reliability score of a product and display it to the user.
[0037] The reception unit can accept product images and videos uploaded by users. The reception unit accepts images and videos uploaded by users, for example, by setting file format and size restrictions. For example, the reception unit accepts images and videos in formats such as JPEG, PNG, and MP4. The reception unit can also temporarily store the uploaded images and videos and send them to the analysis unit. For example, the reception unit can save the uploaded files to a server and make them accessible to the analysis unit. This allows the reception unit to obtain product information subject to authenticity verification by accepting product images and videos uploaded by users. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the reception unit can have a generation AI check the format and size of the uploaded images and videos and accept only appropriate files.
[0038] The reception desk can analyze a user's past upload history and select the optimal upload method. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting upload methods (images, videos, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. For instance, if the reception desk has frequently uploaded images in the past, it will prioritize suggesting image upload methods. The reception desk can also suggest the optimal upload method for a specific time of day based on the user's past upload history. For example, if the reception desk has uploaded during a specific time period in the past, it will suggest the optimal upload method for that time period. Furthermore, the reception desk can select the optimal upload method based on the types of products the user has uploaded in the past. For example, if the reception desk has uploaded products in a specific category in the past, it will select the optimal upload method for that category. In this way, by analyzing the user's past upload history, the reception desk can provide the optimal upload method. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past upload history into AI, and the AI can select the optimal upload method.
[0039] The reception desk can filter uploads based on the user's current interests and purchase history. For example, the reception desk may suggest prioritizing the upload of products from brands the user has previously purchased. For instance, if the user has previously purchased products from a specific brand, the reception desk may suggest prioritizing the upload of products from that brand. The reception desk can also prompt the user to upload images and videos of related products based on their current interests. For example, the reception desk may prompt the user to prioritize the upload of images and videos related to products they are currently interested in. The reception desk can also filter uploads based on the user's purchase history to prioritize products from specific categories. For example, if the user has previously purchased products from a specific category, the reception desk will filter uploads to prioritize products from that category. This allows for the priority uploading of highly relevant product information by filtering based on the user's interests and purchase history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's interests and purchase history into an AI, which can then perform the filtering.
[0040] The reception desk can prioritize accepting product images and videos that are highly relevant to the user's geographical location during the upload process. For example, if the reception desk determines that a user is in a specific region, it will prioritize uploading product images and videos that are popular in that region. The reception desk can also suggest uploading region-specific product images and videos based on the user's geographical location. For example, if the reception desk determines that a user is in a specific region, it will suggest uploading product images and videos that are specific to that region. Furthermore, if the reception desk determines that a user is traveling, it can prioritize uploading product images and videos that are highly relevant to their travel destination. For example, if the reception desk determines that a user is traveling, it will prioritize uploading product images and videos that are highly relevant to their travel destination. This improves user convenience by prioritizing the acceptance of product images and videos that are highly relevant based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not.

[0061] (Example of form 2) The authenticity verification system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to analyze product images and videos and perform authenticity verification. In this system, the user uploads product images or videos, and the generating AI analyzes them to evaluate the authenticity of the product. For example, if a user uploads an image of a Rolex watch, the generating AI analyzes the image and determines whether it matches a Rolex model. As an authentication result, information such as "Matches Rolex model. Probability of authenticity: 88%" or "Highly unlikely to be a diamond. Probability of authenticity: 22%" is provided. This system can also be used on e-commerce sites, allowing users to purchase products with confidence. The specific steps are as follows: First, the user uploads product images or videos. Next, the generating AI analyzes the uploaded images or videos. The generating AI performs image analysis and comparison with past product data to evaluate the authenticity of the product. Finally, the generating AI performs authenticity verification based on the analysis results and provides the authentication result. This allows the user to check the authentication result and purchase products with confidence. This system targets general consumers and addresses the challenge of distinguishing counterfeit branded and expensive goods. The generating AI evaluates the authenticity of products through image analysis and comparison with past product data. This allows users to purchase products with confidence and reduces the risk of buying counterfeit items. The authenticity verification system can analyze product images and videos uploaded by users to determine authenticity.
[0062] The authenticity authentication system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, an authentication unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit accepts product images and videos uploaded by users. The reception unit can accept images and videos in formats such as JPEG, PNG, and MP4. The reception unit temporarily stores the images and videos uploaded by the user and transmits them to the analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes the images and videos uploaded by the reception unit using a generation AI. The analysis unit extracts product features using image analysis techniques such as deep learning and edge detection. The analysis unit evaluates the authenticity of the product by comparing it with past product data.

The authentication unit provides authentication results including probabilities and detailed explanations regarding the authenticity of the product. The provisioning unit provides the user with the appraisal results obtained by the appraisal unit. The provisioning unit provides the user with the appraisal results, for example, using a notification method or display format. The provisioning unit ensures that the user can purchase products with confidence. As a result, the authenticity appraisal system according to the embodiment can analyze product images and videos uploaded by the user and perform authenticity appraisal.
[0063] The reception desk accepts user uploads of product images and videos. The reception desk can accept images and videos in formats such as JPEG, PNG, and MP4. Specifically, when users upload images and videos via a dedicated web portal or mobile app, the reception desk automatically recognizes these file formats and temporarily stores them in the appropriate format. The reception desk also simultaneously acquires metadata of the uploaded files (e.g., shooting date and time, resolution, file size, etc.) and prepares this information for transmission to the analysis department. Furthermore, the reception desk checks the quality of images and videos uploaded by users and has a function to prompt users to re-upload if any are unclear. For example, if an image is blurry or a video is interrupted, the reception desk automatically detects this and sends a notification to the user requesting re-upload. This allows the analysis department to receive high-quality data, improving the accuracy of authenticity verification. The reception desk also includes security features to safely manage user-uploaded data, protecting user privacy through data encryption and access control. This allows the reception department to provide an environment where users can upload product images and videos with peace of mind, thereby increasing the overall reliability of the system.
[0064] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze images and videos uploaded by the reception unit. Specifically, it extracts product features using image analysis techniques such as deep learning and edge detection. The generative AI is pre-trained using a large amount of training data, enabling it to detect even the finest features and patterns of products with high accuracy. For example, the deep learning model analyzes the surface texture, logo placement, and stitching patterns of the product, extracting these features as numerical data. Edge detection technology is used to clarify the contours and shapes of the product and to analyze its appearance in detail. The analysis unit combines these techniques to analyze product features from multiple angles and generate data necessary for evaluating authenticity. Furthermore, the analysis unit evaluates the authenticity of products by comparing them with past product data. Specifically, it compares uploaded images and videos with past product data using database searches and similarity calculations.

This allows the analysis unit to evaluate the authenticity of products with high accuracy. Furthermore, the analysis unit has the functionality to update analysis results in real time and recalculate the evaluation whenever new data is added. This allows the analysis unit to always perform highly accurate analysis based on the latest information, thereby improving the reliability of the entire system.
[0065] The authentication department determines the authenticity of an item based on the results analyzed by the analysis department. Specifically, it uses a reliability score and a judgment algorithm to determine the authenticity of a product. The reliability score is calculated based on the feature data and similarity score provided by the analysis department and indicates the probability of the product being authentic. For example, if the product's features show a high degree of agreement with past data, the reliability score will be high, and conversely, if there is no agreement, it will be low. The judgment algorithm comprehensively evaluates these scores to finally determine the authenticity of the product. The authentication department provides authentication results that include the probability of the product's authenticity and a detailed explanation. For example, it provides explanations based on specific features such as the position and shape of the product's logo and the sewing pattern, making it easy for users to understand the authentication results. Furthermore, the authentication department has a function to continuously improve the accuracy of the judgment algorithm based on past authentication results and user feedback. As a result, the authentication department can always perform highly accurate authenticity judgments based on the latest information and technology, and provide users with reliable authentication results. Furthermore, the appraisal department is equipped with a function to conduct reviews by multiple experts, and for particularly important appraisal results, expert opinions are incorporated into the final decision. This allows the appraisal department to perform more reliable authenticity determinations, enabling users to use the service with confidence.
[0066] The service provider delivers the appraisal results obtained by the appraisal department to the user. Specifically, it provides the appraisal results to the user using notification methods and display formats.

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.

[0142] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.

[0146] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.

[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.

[0154] 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.).
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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).

[0157] 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.
[0158] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, appraisal unit, and provision unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and accepts the upload of product images and videos by the user. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the images and videos using generating AI. The appraisal unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and determines the authenticity of the product based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and provides the appraisal results to the user. 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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."
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
