[0028] (Example of form 1) The hair loss treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes cutting-edge AI technology to identify the cause of individual hair loss and propose a personalized treatment method. This hair loss treatment system begins with the user taking an image of their scalp at home and inputting data on their lifestyle. This data is sent to the AI, which then performs analysis. The AI combines deep learning models and natural language processing to analyze the user's scalp condition and lifestyle in detail. Next, based on the analysis results, the AI generates an optimal treatment plan for each individual user. This treatment plan includes specific treatment methods and suggestions for improving lifestyle habits. For example, it may suggest the use of a specific shampoo or hair growth product, or improvements to diet and exercise. Furthermore, the user can monitor the progress of the treatment by regularly taking images of their scalp and sending them to the AI. The AI updates the treatment plan based on the latest data and makes new suggestions as needed. This system allows users to easily treat their hair loss at home, eliminating the need for frequent visits to hospitals or clinics. In addition, because an optimal treatment method is provided for each individual user, effective treatment can be expected. This allows the hair loss treatment system to analyze the user's scalp condition and lifestyle in detail, and provide an optimal treatment plan for each individual user.
[0029] The hair loss treatment system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives input of scalp images and lifestyle data from the user. Scalp images and lifestyle data from the user include, for example, scalp images taken with a smartphone and lifestyle data such as diet, exercise, and sleep entered by the user, but are not limited to such examples. For example, the reception unit can take images of the scalp using a smartphone camera and input lifestyle data using a dedicated app. The reception unit can also send the data entered by the user to a cloud server and convert it into a format that is easy for AI to analyze. The analysis unit analyzes the data received by the reception unit by combining a deep learning model and natural language processing to identify the cause of hair loss. For example, the analysis unit can analyze scalp images using a deep learning model and evaluate the condition of the scalp. The analysis unit can also analyze lifestyle data using natural language processing and evaluate the impact of the user's lifestyle on hair loss. For example, the analysis unit uses a deep learning model to evaluate the health of the scalp using scalp images as input. The analysis unit can also use a natural language processing model to analyze diet and exercise patterns using lifestyle data as input. The generation unit generates a treatment plan based on the causes identified by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates treatment plans such as using a specific shampoo or hair growth product, or improving diet and exercise. For example, the generation unit suggests the optimal shampoo or hair growth product for the user based on the analysis results. The generation unit can also generate treatment plans that include suggestions for improving diet and exercise. For example, the generation unit suggests a shampoo containing a specific ingredient based on the user's scalp condition. The generation unit can also suggest improvements to diet and exercise based on the user's lifestyle. The delivery unit provides the treatment plan generated by the generation unit. For example, the delivery unit notifies the user of the generated treatment plan. The delivery unit can also check the progress of treatment and update the treatment plan by having the user periodically take images of their scalp and send them to the AI. For example, the delivery unit sends a reminder to the user to periodically take images of their scalp.Furthermore, the service provider can update the treatment plan based on the latest data and notify the user. This allows the hair loss treatment system according to the embodiment to analyze the user's scalp condition and lifestyle in detail and provide an optimal treatment plan for each individual user.
[0030] The reception desk accepts scalp images and lifestyle data from users. This data includes, but is not limited to, images of the scalp taken with a smartphone and lifestyle data such as diet, exercise, and sleep entered by the user. For example, the reception desk can take scalp images using a smartphone camera and input lifestyle data using a dedicated app. Specifically, users download the dedicated app and take scalp images following the in-app guide. The captured images are sent to a cloud server via the app. Similarly, lifestyle data is entered by entering information such as diet, exercise frequency, and sleep duration into a form within the app. This data is sent to the cloud server and converted into a format easily analyzed by AI. Furthermore, the reception desk can provide guidelines on data entry and shooting methods to improve the accuracy of the user-entered data. For example, it can display advice on lighting conditions and shooting angles when taking scalp images within the app. It can also facilitate accurate data entry by providing specific question formats and options for lifestyle data input. This allows the reception unit to efficiently and accurately collect data from users, providing a foundation for the analysis unit to perform highly accurate analysis.
[0031] The analysis unit combines deep learning models and natural language processing to analyze data received by the reception unit and identify the causes of hair loss. For example, the analysis unit uses a deep learning model to analyze scalp images and evaluate the condition of the scalp. Specifically, it uses a deep learning model that takes scalp images as input to evaluate factors such as clogged pores, excessive sebum secretion, and the presence or absence of inflammation. This model is trained using a large amount of scalp image data and can evaluate the condition of the scalp with high accuracy. The analysis unit can also use natural language processing to analyze lifestyle data and evaluate the impact of a user's lifestyle on hair loss. For example, it analyzes data such as diet, exercise frequency, and sleep duration entered by the user and evaluates how these factors affect hair loss. The natural language processing model can analyze text data and evaluate factors such as the nutritional balance of the diet, the type of exercise, and the quality of sleep. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize past data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past user data, it can statistically evaluate the impact of specific lifestyle habits on hair loss and predict future risks. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis 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 safety of the entire system.
[0032] The generation unit generates a treatment plan based on the causes identified by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates treatment plans such as the use of specific shampoos or hair growth products, or improvements to diet and exercise. Specifically, based on the analysis results, it suggests the most suitable shampoo or hair growth product for the user. For example, if the scalp is dry, it suggests a shampoo containing moisturizing ingredients; if there is excessive sebum secretion, it suggests a shampoo containing sebum-controlling ingredients. The generation unit can also generate treatment plans that include suggestions for diet and exercise improvements. For example, regarding diet, it suggests consuming foods containing nutrients necessary for hair health; and regarding exercise, it recommends moderate exercise to promote blood circulation. Furthermore, the generation unit can make specific improvement suggestions based on the user's lifestyle. For example, it can suggest relaxation methods to improve sleep quality or mental care methods to reduce stress. This allows the generation unit to provide an optimal treatment plan for each individual user based on their scalp condition and lifestyle. Additionally, the generation unit continuously evaluates the effectiveness of the treatment plan and can modify it as needed. For example, based on scalp images and lifestyle data regularly provided by the user, the effectiveness of the treatment plan is evaluated, and if no effect is seen, a new treatment plan is proposed. In this way, the system can always provide the user with the optimal treatment plan and support the improvement of hair loss.
[0033] The service provider provides the treatment plan generated by the generation unit. For example, the service provider notifies the user of the generated treatment plan. Specifically, it notifies the user of the treatment plan details via a dedicated app, explaining the implementation method and precautions. The service provider can also monitor the progress of the treatment and update the treatment plan by having the user periodically take images of their scalp and send them to the AI. For example, the service provider sends reminders to the user to periodically take images of their scalp. These reminders are sent to the user's smartphone to ensure they don't miss the timing for taking the images. Furthermore, the service provider can update the treatment plan based on the latest data and notify the user. For example, it evaluates the effectiveness of the treatment plan based on the latest scalp images and lifestyle data provided by the user and proposes a new treatment plan as needed. In addition, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment plan. For example, by having the user report their impressions and the effects of the treatment plan within the app, the service provider can revise the treatment plan based on that information. The service provider can also reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, important information is reliably delivered not only through smartphone notifications, but also through voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the service provider to quickly and reliably provide users with actionable instructions, maximizing the effectiveness of hair loss treatment.
[0034] The reception unit can receive scalp images and lifestyle data taken by users at home. For example, users can take scalp images using their smartphone cameras and input lifestyle data using a dedicated app. The reception unit can also send the data entered by the user to a cloud server and convert it into a format that is easy for AI to analyze. For example, the reception unit can save scalp images taken with a smartphone camera in high resolution and send them to the cloud server. The reception unit can also send lifestyle data such as diet, exercise, and sleep entered by the user to the cloud server and convert it into a format that is easy for AI to analyze.

This allows the hair loss treatment system according to the embodiment to analyze the user's scalp condition and lifestyle in detail and provide an optimal treatment plan for each individual user.
[0065] The reception desk accepts scalp images and lifestyle data from users. This data includes, but is not limited to, images of the scalp taken with a smartphone and lifestyle data such as diet, exercise, and sleep entered by the user. For example, the reception desk can take scalp images using a smartphone camera and input lifestyle data using a dedicated app. Specifically, users download the dedicated app and take scalp images following the in-app guide. The captured images are sent to a cloud server via the app. Similarly, lifestyle data is entered by entering information such as diet, exercise frequency, and sleep duration into a form within the app. This data is sent to the cloud server and converted into a format easily analyzed by AI. Furthermore, the reception desk can provide guidelines on data entry and shooting methods to improve the accuracy of the user-entered data. For example, it can display advice on lighting conditions and shooting angles when taking scalp images within the app. It can also facilitate accurate data entry by providing specific question formats and options for lifestyle data input. This allows the reception unit to efficiently and accurately collect data from users, providing a foundation for the analysis unit to perform highly accurate analysis.
[0066] The analysis unit combines deep learning models and natural language processing to analyze data received by the reception unit and identify the causes of hair loss. For example, the analysis unit uses a deep learning model to analyze scalp images and evaluate the condition of the scalp. Specifically, it uses a deep learning model that takes scalp images as input to evaluate factors such as clogged pores, excessive sebum secretion, and the presence or absence of inflammation. This model is trained using a large amount of scalp image data and can evaluate the condition of the scalp with high accuracy. The analysis unit can also use natural language processing to analyze lifestyle data and evaluate the impact of a user's lifestyle on hair loss. For example, it analyzes data such as diet, exercise frequency, and sleep duration entered by the user and evaluates how these factors affect hair loss. The natural language processing model can analyze text data and evaluate factors such as the nutritional balance of the diet, the type of exercise, and the quality of sleep. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize past data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past user data, it can statistically evaluate the impact of specific lifestyle habits on hair loss and predict future risks. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis 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 safety of the entire system.
[0067] The generation unit generates a treatment plan based on the causes identified by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates treatment plans such as the use of specific shampoos or hair growth products, or improvements to diet and exercise. Specifically, based on the analysis results, it suggests the most suitable shampoo or hair growth product for the user. For example, if the scalp is dry, it suggests a shampoo containing moisturizing ingredients; if there is excessive sebum secretion, it suggests a shampoo containing sebum-controlling ingredients.

For example, regarding diet, it suggests consuming foods containing nutrients necessary for hair health; and regarding exercise, it recommends moderate exercise to promote blood circulation. Furthermore, the generation unit can make specific improvement suggestions based on the user's lifestyle. For example, it can suggest relaxation methods to improve sleep quality or mental care methods to reduce stress. This allows the generation unit to provide an optimal treatment plan for each individual user based on their scalp condition and lifestyle. Additionally, the generation unit continuously evaluates the effectiveness of the treatment plan and can modify it as needed. For example, based on scalp images and lifestyle data regularly provided by the user, the effectiveness of the treatment plan is evaluated, and if no effect is seen, a new treatment plan is proposed. In this way, the system can always provide the user with the optimal treatment plan and support the improvement of hair loss.
[0068] The service provider provides the treatment plan generated by the generation unit. For example, the service provider notifies the user of the generated treatment plan.

[0138] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0142] 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.).
[0143] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0144] 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.

[0146] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[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.

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 reception unit, analysis unit, generation 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 can take images of the scalp using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and input lifestyle data using a dedicated application. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the scalp images using a deep learning model and analyzes lifestyle data using natural language processing. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which generates a treatment plan based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which notifies the user of the generated treatment plan and sends reminders to take images of the scalp periodically. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[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.
[0180] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
