[0028] (Example of form 1) The housing consultation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to support individuals considering purchasing or renting a home in finding the optimal property. The housing consultation system allows users to input information such as their desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget. The generative AI analyzes this information and selects the most suitable property from a vast database. Furthermore, the housing consultation system provides detailed suggestions for the selected property and automatically handles tasks such as scheduling viewings, preparing necessary documents, and providing negotiation support. This mechanism allows users to easily find the most suitable property, significantly simplifying the real estate purchase and rental process. For example, searching for and comparing property information and arranging viewings are automated, saving users time and effort. Additionally, personalized property suggestions from the generative AI improve user satisfaction. Thus, the housing consultation system can propose the most suitable property based on the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget, simplifying the real estate purchase and rental process.
[0029] The housing consultation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a selection unit, a provision unit, and a support unit. The reception unit receives information such as the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget. The reception unit can, for example, store the information entered by the user in a database and use it for analysis later. The reception unit can also analyze the information entered by the user in real time and provide immediate feedback. For example, the reception unit can immediately display relevant property information based on the desired conditions entered by the user. The selection unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information received by the reception unit and select the most suitable property. For example, the generation AI can pick out the most suitable property from a vast amount of property data based on information such as the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget. The selection unit can also have the generation AI analyze property data and display the most suitable properties to the user in a ranking format. For example, the generation AI can analyze information such as the price, location, and facilities of a property and propose the most suitable property to the user. The provision unit provides details of the property selected by the selection unit. The provisioning unit can, for example, display detailed property information to the user, schedule viewings, prepare necessary documents, and provide negotiation support. The provisioning unit can also provide additional information about the property selected by the user. For example, the provisioning unit can provide the user with photos, videos, and information about the surrounding environment. The support unit provides support for scheduling viewings, preparing necessary documents, and negotiating for properties provided by the provisioning unit. For example, the support unit can assist the user in preparing necessary documents when scheduling a viewing. Furthermore, the support unit can assist the user in negotiating the purchase or lease of a property. For example, the support unit can provide appropriate advice when the user is negotiating the price of a property. As a result, the housing consultation system according to this embodiment can propose the most suitable property based on the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget, simplifying the real estate purchase and lease process.
[0030] The reception desk receives information such as the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget. Specifically, it stores information entered by the user through web forms and applications in a database, which can then be used for analysis. For example, users can enter detailed conditions such as the floor plan, location, price range, and availability of surrounding facilities for their desired property. The reception desk can also analyze the information entered by the user in real time and provide immediate feedback. For example, when a user enters their desired conditions, the system immediately displays relevant property information and provides the user with options. Furthermore, the reception desk also collects information about the user's lifestyle. For example, it can collect information tailored to individual needs, such as whether the user owns pets, desired commute time, and proximity to children's schools. This allows the reception desk to respond to the diverse needs of users and provide more personalized services. In addition, based on the information entered by the user, the reception desk can analyze past data and trends to suggest the most suitable properties to the user. For example, based on past user data, it can identify trends in properties that match specific conditions and popular areas, and suggest them to the user. This allows the reception desk to provide property information quickly and accurately based on the user's desired conditions, improving user satisfaction.
[0031] The selection department uses generative AI to analyze information received by the reception department and select the most suitable properties. Specifically, the generative AI picks out the best properties from a vast amount of property data based on the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, budget, and other information. Using machine learning algorithms, the generative AI analyzes information such as property price, location, facilities, and surrounding environment, and can display the most suitable properties to the user in a ranking format. For example, the generative AI considers the price range and location conditions of properties to identify the property that best matches the user's budget. The generative AI can also suggest properties that suit the user's lifestyle. For example, it will suggest pet-friendly properties to users with pets, and properties with convenient transportation to users who prioritize commute time. Furthermore, the generative AI can evaluate the future value and risks of properties based on past user data and market trends. This allows the selection department to suggest the most suitable properties to users and improve user satisfaction. In addition, the selection department can incorporate user feedback when the generative AI analyzes property data. For example, if a user enters evaluations and comments on the suggested properties, the generative AI can learn from that feedback and reflect it in future suggestions. This allows the selection department to continue proposing properties that are better suited to the user's needs.
[0032] The provision department provides details of properties selected by the selection department. Specifically, it can display detailed property information to users and provide support for scheduling viewings, preparing necessary documents, and negotiations. For example, the provision department can provide users with photos, videos, floor plans, and information about the surrounding environment, allowing them to check the property details. The provision department can also provide additional information about properties selected by users. For example, it can provide the property's past transaction history, future value predictions, and information on the safety of the surrounding area. Furthermore, the provision department can support users in preparing necessary documents when scheduling viewings.

The provision department can also support users in negotiations when purchasing or leasing a property. For example, it can provide support to help users proceed smoothly with the contract, such as negotiating the property price and adjusting contract terms. In this way, the provision department can improve user satisfaction by providing users with detailed property information and supporting the viewing and contract process. Furthermore, the provision department can respond quickly to any questions or concerns users may have about the property. For example, it is possible to answer user questions in real time through chatbots or customer support. This allows the service provider to provide users with quick and accurate information and alleviate their concerns and questions.
[0033] The support department assists with property viewings, document preparation, and negotiations for properties provided by the property offering department. Specifically, they can help users prepare necessary documents when booking a viewing. For example, they can provide a viewing reservation form, allowing users to easily book a viewing by simply entering the required information. The support department can also assist users with negotiations when purchasing or leasing a property. For example, they can provide support to help users smoothly proceed with the contract, such as negotiating the property price or adjusting contract terms.

This allows the support department to provide users with quick and accurate information and resolve their concerns and questions.
[0034] The reception desk can analyze the user's past property selection history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception desk can automatically display as candidates the user has frequently entered in the past. The reception desk can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest desired conditions to be used at specific times based on the user's past property selection history. This improves user convenience by suggesting the optimal input method based on past history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past property selection history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI suggest the optimal input method.
[0035] The reception desk can filter the user's search criteria based on their current living situation and future plans. For example, if the user enters their family structure, the reception desk will prioritize suggesting properties that match the number of family members. If the user enters their future job change plans, the reception desk can also suggest properties that take commuting time into consideration. Furthermore, if the user enters their current living situation (e.g., whether they have pets, own a car), the reception desk can filter and suggest properties accordingly. This allows the reception desk to support users in choosing a more suitable property by suggesting properties that match their living situation and future plans. 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 living situation and future plan data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0036] The reception desk can prioritize the input of highly relevant conditions when users enter their desired conditions, taking into account their geographical location.

It can also suggest property conditions based on the activity of accounts the user follows on social media. Furthermore, it can suggest property conditions based on posts the user has "liked" on social media. In this way, by analyzing social media activity, it is possible to suggest property conditions that are highly relevant to the user. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate suggestions for relevant conditions.
[0038] The selection unit can improve the accuracy of property selection by considering the interrelationships between properties. For example, the selection unit can select the optimal property by comparing the prices and conditions of nearby properties. The selection unit can also consider information about surrounding facilities (schools, hospitals, supermarkets, etc.) when making selections. Furthermore, the selection unit can improve the accuracy of selection by analyzing the past transaction history of properties. In this way, the accuracy of selection can be improved by considering the interrelationships between properties. Some or all of the above processing in the selection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the selection unit can input interrelationship data between properties into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of improving the accuracy of selection.
[0039] The selection unit can make selections by considering the attribute information of the property provider when selecting properties. For example, the selection unit can evaluate the reliability of the property provider and prioritize the selection of highly reliable properties. The selection unit can also analyze the past transaction history of the property provider and select appropriate properties. Furthermore, the selection unit can make selections by referring to the evaluations and reviews of the property provider. In this way, by considering the attribute information of the property provider, highly reliable properties can be selected. Some or all of the above processes in the selection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the selection unit can input the attribute information of the property provider into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the selection.
[0040] The selection unit can select properties while considering their geographical distribution. For example, the selection unit can select properties based on the user's desired area. The selection unit can also select properties while considering their geographical convenience (transportation access, surrounding facilities, etc.). Furthermore, the selection unit can also select properties while considering their geographical safety (security, disaster risk, etc.). This allows the selection of properties that are highly convenient for the user by considering geographical distribution. Some or all of the above processing in the selection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the selection unit can input geographical distribution data of properties into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the selection.
[0041] The selection unit can improve the accuracy of its selection process by referring to relevant literature on properties.

Some or all of the above processes in the selection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the selection unit can input relevant literature data on properties into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of improving selection accuracy.
[0042] The service provider can adjust the level of detail provided based on the importance of the property when providing property details. For example, the service provider can provide detailed information for important properties. It can also provide concise information for less important properties. Furthermore, it can provide detailed information for properties that match the user's desired conditions. In this way, by providing a level of detail according to the importance of the property, the service provider can provide the user with the information they need. 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 property importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail.
[0043] The service provider can apply different display algorithms depending on the property category when providing property details. For example, it can apply different display algorithms for rental properties and properties for purchase. It can also apply different display algorithms for new properties and used properties. Furthermore, it can apply different display algorithms for commercial properties and residential properties. By applying a display algorithm according to the property category, it is possible to provide users with the most optimal information. 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 property category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of the display algorithm.
[0044] The information provision unit can determine the priority of property details based on when the property was provided. For example, the information provision unit can prioritize providing detailed information for newly listed properties. It can also provide concise information for properties that have been listed for a long time. Furthermore, the information provision unit can prioritize providing detailed information for properties that match the user's desired conditions. By setting priorities based on when the property was provided, it is possible to provide users with important information. Some or all of the above processing in the information provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the information provision unit can input property provision date data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the priority determination.
[0045] The service provider can adjust the order of property details based on their relevance when providing them. For example, the service provider can prioritize displaying properties that best match the user's desired conditions. The service provider can also adjust the display order based on the property's price and conditions. Furthermore, the service provider can adjust the display order based on the property's rating and reviews. This allows the service provider to prioritize providing users with information that is important to them by setting an order based on the relevance of the properties. 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 property relevance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the order adjustment.
[0046] The support department can customize support methods based on the user's current living situation when scheduling viewings or preparing documents. For example, if the user is busy with work, the support department will prioritize suggesting online viewing appointments. If the user lives with family, the support department can also suggest viewing appointments that the whole family can attend. Furthermore, if the user has pets, the support department can suggest pet-friendly viewing appointments.

For example, the support department can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the suggestion of support measures.
[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0050] The housing consultation system can also acquire user health data and incorporate it into property selection. For example, if a user has allergies, it can prioritize suggesting areas and properties with low allergen levels. If a user enjoys exercise, it can suggest properties with nearby gyms or parks. Furthermore, if a user is elderly, it can prioritize suggesting barrier-free properties. This allows the system to support users in choosing properties that suit their health condition.
[0051] The housing consultation system can analyze a user's past property selection history and propose an optimal property selection algorithm. For example, it can analyze the characteristics of properties the user has previously selected and prioritize suggesting properties with similar characteristics. It can also consider the characteristics of properties the user has avoided in the past and exclude properties with those characteristics. Furthermore, it can suggest properties related to specific seasons or events based on the user's past selection history. In this way, it can support the selection of the optimal property based on past history.
[0052] The housing consultation system can adjust property selection criteria based on the user's current living situation and future plans. For example, if a user plans to change their family structure, it can suggest properties that suit that plan. If a user plans to change jobs in the future, it can suggest properties that take commuting time into consideration. Furthermore, if a user plans to own a pet, it can prioritize suggesting pet-friendly properties. This allows the system to support users in choosing a property that suits their living situation and future plans.
[0053] The housing consultation system can adjust property selection criteria based on the user's geographical location. For example, if a user is in a specific area, it will prioritize suggesting properties related to that area. If a user is traveling, it can also prioritize suggesting properties in their travel destination. Furthermore, if a user is looking for a property within commuting distance, it can prioritize suggesting properties that take commuting time into consideration. This allows the system to suggest properties that are highly relevant to the user by taking geographical location into account.
[0054] The housing consultation system can analyze users' social media activity and reflect this in property selection. For example, it can suggest properties based on places users have shared on social media. It can also suggest properties based on the activity of accounts users follow. Furthermore, it can suggest properties based on posts users have "liked." In this way, by analyzing social media activity, it can suggest properties that are highly relevant to the user.
[0055] The housing consultation system can improve the accuracy of property selection by considering the interrelationships between properties. For example, it can select the optimal property by comparing the prices and conditions of nearby properties. It can also select properties by considering information about surrounding facilities (schools, hospitals, supermarkets, etc.).

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.
[0153] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, selection unit, provision unit, and support 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 receives information such as the user's desired conditions, lifestyle, and budget. The selection unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and selects the most suitable property using generating AI. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and provides details of the selected property. The support unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides support for making viewing reservations, preparing necessary documents, and negotiations. 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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."
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
