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 learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that proposes optimal learning methods and materials based on MBTI type. This learning support system provides a personalized learning plan by having the user take an MBTI assessment and having the AI analyze the results. Furthermore, it maintains the user's learning motivation through a regular reminder delivery function. It also makes it easier to find optimal learning resources by allowing interaction and information sharing with other users. Finally, it supports the user's self-management by setting clear learning goals and providing regular feedback. This promotes efficient and effective learning. For example, the user takes an MBTI assessment and the AI analyzes the results. In this process, the user answers several questions and is classified into one of 16 personality types based on their answers. For example, the user may be classified as an "extroverted," "intuitive," "thinking," or "judging" type. This information is input into the AI. Next, the AI provides a personalized learning plan based on the analysis results. The AI proposes optimal learning methods and materials based on the user's MBTI type. For example, for an "extroverted" user, it proposes a learning method that includes group discussions, and for an "introverted" user, it proposes a method that allows for focused individual learning. Furthermore, the regular reminder delivery function helps maintain user motivation for learning. The AI monitors the user's learning progress and delivers reminders at appropriate times. For example, if a user is slacking off on their studies, the AI will send a reminder to encourage them to study. It also makes it easier to find optimal learning resources by allowing users to interact and share information with other users. The AI supports interaction among users and promotes the sharing of learning resources. For example, by sharing their learning methods and materials with other users, users can find optimal learning resources. Finally, it supports user self-management by setting clear learning goals and providing regular feedback. The AI sets learning goals for users and monitors their progress. It provides regular feedback to make self-management easier for users. For example, the AI evaluates the progress toward the learning goals set by the user and provides necessary advice.This allows the learning support system to promote efficient and effective learning and support users in improving their skills.
[0029] The learning support system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a reminder unit, a monitoring unit, and a feedback unit. The reception unit receives the MBTI diagnostic results from the user. For example, the user takes the MBTI diagnostic test through an online platform and inputs the results into the reception unit. The reception unit can also analyze the user's MBTI diagnostic results using AI. The analysis unit analyzes the MBTI diagnostic results received by the reception unit and provides a personalized learning plan. For example, the analysis unit suggests the optimal learning method and materials based on the user's MBTI type. For example, it suggests a learning method that includes group discussions for an extroverted user, and a method that allows for focused individual learning for an introverted user. The reminder unit delivers periodic reminders based on the learning plan provided by the analysis unit. For example, the reminder unit monitors the user's learning progress and delivers reminders at appropriate times. For example, if the user is slacking off on their studies, the reminder unit sends a reminder to encourage them to study. The monitoring unit monitors learning progress based on reminders delivered by the reminder unit. The monitoring unit, for example, monitors the user's learning progress in real time and records the progress status. The feedback unit provides feedback based on the learning progress monitored by the monitoring unit. The feedback unit, for example, evaluates the user's progress toward their learning goals and provides necessary advice. As a result, the learning support system according to this embodiment can promote efficient and effective learning based on MBTI diagnostic results.
[0030] The reception desk receives MBTI assessment results from users. Users take the MBTI assessment, for example, through an online platform, and input the results into the reception desk. Specifically, users take the MBTI assessment using a dedicated website or application and input the results into the system. The assessment results indicate the user's personality type, which is classified into 16 types. The reception desk stores these assessment results in a database and uses them for subsequent analysis and the creation of learning plans. Furthermore, the reception desk can also analyze the user's MBTI assessment results using AI. The AI analyzes patterns in the assessment results and gains a detailed understanding of the user's personality traits. For example, the AI analyzes the user's response patterns and extracts specific personality traits and behavioral tendencies. This information is useful for subsequent processing in the analysis and reminder departments. The reception desk also provides an interface for users to input their assessment results, making it easy for them to enter their results. For example, it provides forms and options for inputting assessment results, allowing users to operate intuitively. This enables the reception desk to efficiently receive users' MBTI assessment results and provide the data necessary for subsequent processing.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes the MBTI diagnostic results received by the reception department and provides a personalized learning plan. Specifically, the analysis department proposes the optimal learning methods and materials based on the user's MBTI type. For example, it suggests learning methods that include group discussions for extroverted users and methods that allow introverted users to concentrate on learning alone. The analysis department uses AI to analyze the user's learning style and preferences in detail and create the optimal learning plan. The AI continuously improves the learning plan based on past learning data and user feedback. For example, the AI analyzes what learning methods the user has succeeded with in the past and suggests similar methods. The analysis department also flexibly adjusts the learning plan considering the user's learning goals and progress. For example, it clarifies the steps necessary for the user to achieve a specific goal and provides a plan that allows them to progress through learning step by step. In this way, the analysis department can provide the user with the optimal learning plan and support efficient and effective learning.
[0032] The Reminders Unit delivers regular reminders based on the learning plan provided by the Analytics Unit. Specifically, the Reminders Unit monitors the user's learning progress and delivers reminders at the appropriate time. For example, if a user is slacking off on their studies, the Reminders Unit will send a reminder to encourage them to study. Reminders are customized according to the user's preferences. For example, reminders are delivered using the method most easily received by the user, such as email, SMS, or in-app notifications. The Reminders Unit uses AI to analyze the user's learning patterns and send reminders at the optimal time. For example, if a user tends to study during a specific time slot, a reminder will be sent during that time. The Reminders Unit also adjusts the content of reminders according to the user's learning progress. For example, if a user is approaching their goal, an encouraging message will be sent to boost their motivation. In this way, the Reminders Unit can provide an environment that makes it easier for users to continue learning and maximize the effectiveness of their learning.
[0033] The monitoring unit monitors learning progress based on reminders delivered by the reminder unit. Specifically, the monitoring unit monitors the user's learning progress in real time and records the progress status. The monitoring unit verifies whether the user is progressing according to the learning plan and saves the progress status to a database. For example, it checks whether the user has completed a specific learning task and records the information if completed. The monitoring unit uses AI to analyze the user's learning data and detect abnormal patterns or delays in progress. For example, if a user's learning pace is slower than usual, the monitoring unit notifies the reminder unit and feedback unit of this information. This allows the monitoring unit to accurately grasp the user's learning progress and take necessary actions quickly. Furthermore, the monitoring unit accumulates user learning data over the long term and uses it for trend analysis and improvement of future learning plans. This allows the monitoring unit to continuously monitor the user's learning progress and improve the overall effectiveness of the system.
[0034] The feedback unit provides feedback based on learning progress monitored by the monitoring unit. Specifically, the feedback unit evaluates the user's progress toward their learning goals and provides necessary advice. For example, it evaluates the extent to which the user has achieved their set learning goals and provides feedback according to their level of achievement. The feedback unit uses AI to analyze the user's learning data and generate personalized advice. For example, if a user has difficulty in a particular area, it suggests specific learning methods and materials for that area. The feedback unit also provides feedback tailored to the user's learning style and preferences. For example, it provides feedback using graphs and charts for users who prefer visual information, and detailed written feedback for users who prefer text-based information. This allows the feedback unit to provide specific advice to help users learn effectively and improve the quality of their learning. Furthermore, the feedback unit improves the entire system based on user feedback. For example, it collects user feedback and reviews the content of learning plans and reminders to provide more effective learning support. This allows the feedback unit to continuously improve the user's learning experience.
[0035] The analysis unit can suggest optimal learning methods and materials based on the user's MBTI type. For example, based on the user's MBTI type, the analysis unit can suggest learning methods that include group discussions for extroverted users. It can also suggest methods that allow introverted users to concentrate on learning alone. Furthermore, the analysis unit can suggest optimal learning materials such as video materials, text materials, and interactive exercises based on the user's MBTI type. In this way, it can provide the optimal learning methods and materials based on the user's MBTI type.
[0036] The reminder function can monitor the user's learning progress and deliver reminders at appropriate times. For example, the reminder function can monitor the user's learning progress in real time and deliver reminders according to the progress. For instance, if a user is slacking off on their studies, the reminder function will send a reminder to encourage them to study. The reminder function can also deliver reminders at appropriate times based on the user's learning progress. This allows for the delivery of reminders at appropriate times according to the user's learning progress.
[0037] The monitoring system can support interaction among users and promote the sharing of learning resources. For example, it can provide forums and chat rooms to support user interaction. It can also facilitate the sharing of users' learning methods and materials with other users. For instance, it can provide a platform for users to share their learning methods and materials. This supports user interaction and promotes the sharing of learning resources.
[0038] The feedback unit can evaluate the user's progress toward their learning goals and provide necessary advice. For example, the feedback unit can evaluate the user's progress toward their learning goals and provide necessary advice. Furthermore, the feedback unit can provide necessary advice based on the user's learning progress. This allows the system to evaluate the user's progress toward their learning goals and provide necessary advice.
[0039] The reception desk can refer to the user's past MBTI assessment results and generate additional questions to improve the accuracy of the assessment. For example, the reception desk can analyze trends in questions the user has answered in the past and generate additional questions for questions that received many ambiguous answers. The reception desk can also check the degree of agreement between the user's past assessment results and current answers, and generate additional questions if there is a discrepancy. Furthermore, the reception desk can generate detailed questions about specific personality types based on the user's past assessment results. This allows for improved assessment accuracy by referring to past assessment results.
[0040] The reception desk can customize the questions based on the user's current learning status and goals when receiving diagnostic results. For example, if the user enters their current learning status, the reception desk will generate questions appropriate to that status. The reception desk can also generate questions about the skills necessary to achieve the learning goals set by the user. Furthermore, the reception desk can consider the user's learning progress and generate questions appropriate to that progress. By customizing the questions according to the user's learning status and goals, a more appropriate diagnosis can be made.
[0041] The reception desk can prioritize presenting highly relevant questions based on the user's geographical location when receiving diagnostic results. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception desk will prioritize questions related to that region. It can also prioritize travel-related questions if the user is traveling. Furthermore, if the user is at home, it can prioritize questions that promote relaxation. This allows for more accurate diagnoses by presenting highly relevant questions based on the user's geographical location.
[0042] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity and add relevant questions when receiving diagnostic results. For example, the reception desk can generate questions based on the user's interests and passions shared on social media.

[0115] The analysis unit can analyze a user's learning history and predict future learning plans based on past learning patterns. For example, it can identify learning methods that have been successful for the user in the past and provide a learning plan based on them. It can also identify learning content that the user has struggled with in the past and provide a complementary learning plan for that area. Furthermore, it can identify learning methods that were effective at a specific time from the user's learning history and provide a learning plan tailored to that period. In this way, by providing an optimal learning plan based on the user's past learning history, it can support more effective learning.

[0121] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0122] Step 1: The reception desk receives the user's MBTI assessment results. For example, the user takes the MBTI assessment through an online platform and enters the results into the reception desk. The reception desk can also use AI to analyze the user's MBTI assessment results. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the MBTI diagnostic results received by the reception unit and provides a personalized learning plan. For example, the analysis unit suggests optimal learning methods and materials based on the user's MBTI type. For instance, it might suggest learning methods that include group discussions for extroverted users, and methods that allow introverted users to concentrate on learning alone. Step 3: The reminder unit delivers periodic reminders based on the learning plan provided by the analysis unit. The reminder unit, for example, monitors the user's learning progress and delivers reminders at the appropriate time. For example, if a user is slacking off on their studies, the reminder unit will send a reminder to encourage them to study. Step 4: The monitoring unit monitors learning progress based on reminders delivered by the reminder unit. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the user's learning progress in real time and records the progress status. Step 5: The feedback unit provides feedback based on the learning progress monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the feedback unit evaluates the user's progress toward their learning goals and provides necessary advice.

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.
[0171] 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.).
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, reminder unit, monitoring unit, and feedback unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the user inputs MBTI diagnostic results through an online platform. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where the MBTI diagnostic results are analyzed and a personalized learning plan is provided. The reminder unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the user's learning progress is monitored and reminders are delivered at appropriate times. The monitoring unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where the user's learning progress is monitored in real time. The feedback unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the user's progress toward their learning goals is evaluated and necessary advice is provided. 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.

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.
