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 condominium management association operation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that trains a large-scale language model (LLM) with various information related to the operation of a condominium management association in an anonymized form, and provides optimal answers and countermeasures when questions or problems arise. The condominium management association operation support system collects information such as operational know-how and trouble response cases managed by each condominium management association and anonymizes it. Next, the anonymized information is trained on the LLM. The LLM analyzes this information and provides optimal answers and countermeasures when questions or problems arise. It also learns from past success and failure cases and utilizes this to solve specific problems. For example, if a condominium management association faces a particular problem, it inputs information about that problem into the LLM. The LLM provides optimal answers and countermeasures based on similar past cases. This allows the management association to solve problems quickly and effectively. Furthermore, the LLM analyzes past success and failure cases and proposes the best course of action. For example, if a similar problem occurred in the past, it can propose the best course of action for a new problem based on the solution to that problem. This allows the management association to operate efficiently by utilizing past experience. This system allows for the accumulation and sharing of knowledge and experience regarding the operation of condominium management associations nationwide, supporting the formation of high-quality housing and local communities. At the same time, individual privacy is protected, ensuring safe use. This enables the condominium management association support system to efficiently collect, anonymize, learn from, and provide information related to the operation of condominium management associations.
[0029] The condominium management association operation support system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an anonymization unit, a learning unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects information related to the operation of condominium management associations. For example, the collection unit collects operational know-how and trouble-solving cases from each condominium management association. The collection unit can collect information through, for example, questionnaires and interviews. The collection unit can also extract information from databases. For example, the collection unit extracts necessary information from a database related to the operation of management associations. The anonymization unit anonymizes the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the anonymization unit removes personal information from the collected information. For example, the anonymization unit removes personal information such as names, addresses, and contact information. The anonymization unit can also perform data masking. For example, the anonymization unit masks specific data so that individuals cannot be identified. The learning unit learns the information anonymized by the anonymization unit. For example, the learning unit learns the anonymized information using LLM. For example, the learning unit analyzes the information using machine learning algorithms and learns the optimal answers and countermeasures. The provision unit provides answers and solutions to questions and problems based on information learned by the learning unit. For example, the provision unit uses AI to provide the optimal answers and solutions. For example, the provision unit provides the optimal answers and solutions to questions and problems entered by the user based on past success and failure cases. As a result, the condominium management association operation support system according to the embodiment can efficiently collect, anonymize, learn, and provide information related to the operation of the condominium management association.
[0030] The Information Collection Department collects information related to the operation of condominium management associations. For example, the Department collects operational know-how and examples of trouble-solving from each condominium management association. Specifically, the Department can collect information through questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are conducted using online forms or paper media to gather specific experiences and opinions on operations from members of the management associations. Interviews are conducted directly with representatives and members of the management associations to collect detailed operational know-how and specific examples of trouble-solving. The Department can also extract information from databases. For example, the Department can extract necessary information from databases related to the operation of management associations. These databases include past meeting minutes, accounting reports, and records of trouble-solving, and this information is systematically organized and collected. Furthermore, the Department can also collect publicly available information on the internet and expert opinions. For example, it collects useful information from specialized websites and forums related to condominium management and incorporates it into the system. This allows the Department to collect a wide range of data from diverse sources and provide comprehensive information on the operation of condominium management associations. The collected information is stored in a central database and made accessible to other departments. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and effectively collect information, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The anonymization unit anonymizes the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the anonymization unit removes personal information from the collected information. Specifically, it removes personal information such as names, addresses, and contact information. The anonymization unit can also perform data masking. For example, the anonymization unit can mask certain data to prevent the identification of individuals. Specifically, this can be done by redacting parts of names or addresses, or by converting certain numerical data into ranges. Furthermore, the anonymization unit can also perform data simulation. Simulation is a technique that prevents the identification of individuals by replacing actual data with randomly generated data. For example, it can replace actual names with randomly generated names, or convert addresses into fictitious addresses. This allows the anonymization unit to securely protect the collected information and prevent the leakage of personal information. Furthermore, the anonymization unit can evaluate the quality of the anonymized data and perform re-anonymization as needed. For example, if there is still a risk that the anonymized data could identify an individual, additional anonymization processing can be applied. This allows the anonymization unit to safely and effectively anonymize the collected information and improve the reliability of the entire system.
[0032] The learning unit learns from information anonymized by the anonymization unit. For example, the learning unit learns from anonymized information using an LLM (Large-Scale Language Model). Specifically, it analyzes the information using machine learning algorithms and learns optimal answers and solutions. An LLM learns from large amounts of text data and possesses natural language processing capabilities. The learning unit inputs anonymized information into the LLM and analyzes operational know-how and troubleshooting case studies. For example, the LLM analyzes collected meeting minutes and troubleshooting records to extract common patterns and success stories. The LLM can also compare the operational methods of different management associations and identify the optimal method. Furthermore, the learning unit continuously learns new information to improve the model's accuracy. For example, newly collected information is regularly input into the LLM to update the model. This allows the learning unit to always provide highly accurate answers and solutions based on the latest information. Additionally, the learning unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the learning unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0033] The service provider provides answers and solutions to questions and problems based on information learned by the learning unit. For example, the service provider uses AI to provide optimal answers and solutions. Specifically, it provides optimal answers and solutions to user-inputted questions and problems based on past success and failure cases. For example, if a user asks, "How can I resolve noise problems in my apartment building?", the service provider will propose specific solutions based on past cases of noise problem resolution. The service provider uses LLM to analyze the user's question and generate the optimal answer. Furthermore, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the answers. For example, users can evaluate the provided answers, and the answers are revised based on that evaluation. The service provider can also reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can provide users with quick and reliable answers through website chatbots, email, SMS, etc. This allows the service provider to provide users with quick and reliable answers and solutions, supporting the operation of apartment management associations. Furthermore, the service provider can provide customized information according to user needs. For example, the system proposes optimal solutions and countermeasures based on the operational status and type of problems of a particular condominium management association. This allows the service provider to offer users more specific and practical information, enabling efficient support for the operation of condominium management associations.
[0034] The data collection unit can collect operational know-how and trouble-solving case studies from each condominium management association.

[0038] The service provider can analyze past success and failure cases and propose the best course of action. For example, the service provider can use AI to analyze past success and failure cases and propose the best course of action. For example, the service provider can use past success and failure cases as a basis for solving specific problems. This makes it possible to propose the best course of action by analyzing past success and failure cases. Some or all of the above-described processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input past success and failure cases into AI and have the AI propose the best course of action.
[0039] The data collection unit can analyze the past information provision history of each condominium management association and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can conduct regular data collection for management associations that have frequently provided information in the past. For example, the data collection unit can collect information from management associations that have provided little information in the past using a simple questionnaire format. For example, the data collection unit can focus on collecting information on specific topics based on past data provision history. By analyzing past data provision history, the optimal data collection method can be selected. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input past data provision history into AI and have the AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0040] The data collection unit can filter information based on the current operational status and areas of interest of the management association. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting information related to projects currently underway by the management association. For example, the data collection unit can collect only relevant information based on the management association's areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can filter and collect necessary information according to the management association's operational status. This allows for efficient collection of necessary information by filtering information based on the management association's operational status and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data on the management association's operational status and areas of interest into AI and have the AI perform the information filtering.
[0041] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant information based on the geographical location information of the management association. For example, the data collection unit prioritizes the collection of regional information related to the location of the management association. For example, the data collection unit collects information by referencing information from other geographically close management associations. For example, the data collection unit prioritizes the collection of highly relevant information based on the characteristics of the region. This makes it possible to collect information that is tailored to regional characteristics by prioritizing the collection of highly relevant information based on geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the geographical location information of the management association into AI and have the AI perform the collection of highly relevant information.

[0063] (Example of form 2) The condominium management association operation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that trains a large-scale language model (LLM) with various information related to the operation of a condominium management association in an anonymized form, and provides optimal answers and countermeasures when questions or problems arise. The condominium management association operation support system collects information such as operational know-how and trouble response cases managed by each condominium management association and anonymizes it. Next, the anonymized information is trained on the LLM. The LLM analyzes this information and provides optimal answers and countermeasures when questions or problems arise. It also learns from past success and failure cases and utilizes this to solve specific problems. For example, if a condominium management association faces a particular problem, it inputs information about that problem into the LLM. The LLM provides optimal answers and countermeasures based on similar past cases. This allows the management association to solve problems quickly and effectively. Furthermore, the LLM analyzes past success and failure cases and proposes the best course of action. For example, if a similar problem occurred in the past, it can propose the best course of action for a new problem based on the solution to that problem. This allows the management association to operate efficiently by utilizing past experience. This system allows for the accumulation and sharing of knowledge and experience regarding the operation of condominium management associations nationwide, supporting the formation of high-quality housing and local communities. At the same time, individual privacy is protected, ensuring safe use. This enables the condominium management association support system to efficiently collect, anonymize, learn from, and provide information related to the operation of condominium management associations.

An LLM learns from large amounts of text data and possesses natural language processing capabilities. The learning unit inputs anonymized information into the LLM and analyzes operational know-how and troubleshooting case studies. For example, the LLM analyzes collected meeting minutes and troubleshooting records to extract common patterns and success stories. The LLM can also compare the operational methods of different management associations and identify the optimal method. Furthermore, the learning unit continuously learns new information to improve the model's accuracy. For example, newly collected information is regularly input into the LLM to update the model. This allows the learning unit to always provide highly accurate answers and solutions based on the latest information. Additionally, the learning unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the learning unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and security of the entire system.

Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input user emotion data into AI and have the AI determine the priority of answers and solutions.
[0096] The service provider can determine the priority of answers and solutions based on the submission date of the problem at the time of provision. For example, the service provider may prioritize providing answers and solutions to recently submitted problems. For example, the service provider may postpone providing answers and solutions to older problems. For example, the service provider may adjust the priority of answers and solutions in stages according to the submission date. This allows for a quick response to the latest problems by determining the priority of answers and solutions based on the submission date of the problem. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider may input problem submission date data into AI and have the AI perform the determination of the priority of answers and solutions.
[0097] The service provider can adjust the order of answers and solutions based on the relevance of the problems when providing them. For example, the service provider can prioritize providing answers and solutions for highly relevant problems. For example, it can postpone providing answers and solutions for less relevant problems. For example, the service provider can adjust the order of answers and solutions in stages according to the relevance of the problems. This allows for priority addressing of highly relevant problems by adjusting the order of answers and solutions based on the relevance of the problems. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input problem relevance data into AI and have AI perform the adjustment of the order of answers and solutions.
[0098] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0099] The condominium management association support system can also be equipped with a prediction unit. This unit can predict future troubles and problems based on collected information and learned data. For example, it can analyze past trouble data to predict the probability of troubles occurring in specific seasons or events. It can also analyze the management association's operational status and resident trends to predict future operational challenges. Furthermore, it can refer to data from other condominium management associations to predict the likelihood of similar troubles occurring. This allows management associations to take preventative measures and avoid troubles from occurring in the first place.
[0100] The condominium management association support system can also include a notification function. Based on collected information and learned data, the notification function can notify the management association and residents of important information.

In addition, the customization section can add and improve system functions based on feedback from the management associations. This allows the condominium management association support system to provide services optimized for the needs of each management association.
[0103] The condominium management association support system can also be equipped with a statistics department. This department can perform statistical analysis based on collected information and learned data. For example, it can analyze the frequency of problems and the time it takes to resolve them, thereby evaluating the operational efficiency of the management association. Furthermore, it can compile resident satisfaction and opinions, identifying areas for improvement in the management association's operational policies. In addition, the statistics department can conduct comparative analyses with other condominium management associations to derive best practices. This allows management associations to make data-driven decisions and improve the quality of their operations.
[0104] The condominium management association support system has a data collection unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the timing of information collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the data collection unit reduces the frequency of information collection to alleviate the user's burden. For example, if the user is relaxed, the data collection unit increases the frequency of information collection to collect more detailed information. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the data collection unit collects information quickly to enable immediate response. In this way, the system reduces the user's burden by adjusting the timing of information collection according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input user emotion data into AI and have the AI adjust the timing of information collection.
[0105] The condominium management association support system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way answers and solutions are presented based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the system provides concise and easy-to-understand explanations. If the user is relaxed, the system provides detailed explanations. If the user is in a hurry, the system provides concise information requiring immediate attention. By adjusting the way answers and solutions are presented according to the user's emotions, the system can provide information that is easy for the user to understand. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the system may be performed using AI or not. For example, the system can input user emotion data into AI and have the AI adjust the way answers and solutions are presented.
[0106] The condominium management association support system has a learning unit that estimates the user's emotions and selects training data based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the learning unit prioritizes learning data of high importance. For example, if the user is relaxed, the learning unit prioritizes learning detailed data. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the learning unit prioritizes learning data that requires a quick response. This enables efficient learning by selecting training data according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the learning unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the learning unit can input user emotion data into AI and have the AI perform the selection of training data.
[0107] The condominium management association support system has an anonymization unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the anonymization method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the anonymization unit applies a simple anonymization method and processes the data quickly. For example, if the user is relaxed, the anonymization unit applies a detailed anonymization method to improve the accuracy of the information. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the anonymization unit performs anonymization quickly and provides information immediately. This allows for quick and appropriate anonymization by adjusting the anonymization method according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the anonymization unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the anonymization unit can input user emotion data into an AI and have the AI adjust the anonymization method.
[0108] The condominium management association support system can estimate the user's emotions and prioritize answers and solutions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the system will prioritize providing high-priority answers and solutions. If the user is relaxed, the system will prioritize providing detailed answers and solutions. If the user is in a hurry, the system will prioritize providing answers and solutions that require immediate attention. This allows the system to prioritize important information by determining the priority of answers and solutions according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the system may be performed using AI or not. For example, the system can input user emotion data into an AI and have the AI determine the priority of answers and solutions.

The collection department can collect information through questionnaires and interviews. The collection department can also extract information from databases. For example, the collection department extracts necessary information from databases related to the operation of management associations. Step 2: The anonymization unit anonymizes the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the anonymization unit removes personal information from the collected information. The anonymization unit removes personal information such as names, addresses, and contact information. The anonymization unit can also perform data masking. For example, the anonymization unit can mask certain data to prevent the identification of individuals. Step 3: The learning unit learns from the anonymized information by the anonymization unit. The learning unit learns from the anonymized information using, for example, LLM. The learning unit analyzes the information using machine learning algorithms and learns the optimal answers and solutions. Step 4: The provisioning unit provides answers and solutions to questions and problems based on the information learned by the learning unit. The provisioning unit uses AI to provide the optimal answers and solutions. The provisioning unit provides the optimal answers and solutions to questions and problems entered by the user based on past success and failure cases.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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).
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, anonymization unit, learning unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and collects operational know-how and troubleshooting cases from each condominium management association. The anonymization unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and removes personal information from the collected information. The learning unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns from the anonymized information using LLM. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides the optimal answer or solution to questions and problems entered by 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
