[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The communication skills improvement app according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to improve the user's communication skills. In this system, the user registers profile information in the app settings, selects a situation or theme they want to practice, and the AI speaks to them verbally. By responding, the system analyzes both verbal (words) and nonverbal (facial expressions and reactions) aspects. Next, a Good / Bad analysis is performed based on visual (facial expressions, reactions), auditory (tone, speed), and content (word choice), and a summary of countermeasures is provided. Furthermore, users can review past data and track their progress to confirm their growth and receive more realistic advice. This app allows users to select scenarios such as 1-on-1 meetings, presentations, interviews, blind dates, and conversations with friends, and addresses themes such as career and work-related concerns.

This generative AI app targets anyone who needs communication skills for B2C users, and companies that want their employees to acquire 1-on-1 and presentation skills for B2B users. As an app, it offers flexibility in terms of time and location, unlike traditional training sessions, and is available at an affordable monthly rate, unlike expensive seminars. For example, users register their profile information in the app's settings and select situations and themes they want to practice. Next, the AI speaks to the user, who responds. Both verbal (words) and nonverbal (facial expressions and reactions) aspects are analyzed. A Good / Bad analysis is then performed based on visual (facial expressions, reactions), auditory (tone, speed), and content (word choice), and a summary of suggested solutions is provided. Furthermore, users can review past data and track their progress to receive more realistic advice. This app allows users to select scenarios such as 1-on-1 meetings, presentations, interviews, blind dates, and conversations with friends, addressing themes such as career and work-related concerns. Additionally, by inputting a 360-degree evaluation of their company, users can receive additional advice from the AI, combined with past data.This AI-generated app targets anyone who needs to communicate (for B2C) and companies that want to equip their employees with 1-on-1 and presentation skills (for B2B). As an app, it offers flexibility in terms of time and location (unlike training sessions) and affordability (unlike expensive seminars), with a low monthly subscription fee. This allows the app to improve users' communication skills.
[0029] The communication skills improvement application according to this embodiment comprises a registration unit, a selection unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The registration unit allows the user to register profile information. Profile information includes, but is not limited to, name, age, occupation, and hobbies. For example, the user enters profile information on the application's settings screen. The registration unit also allows the user to register profile information using voice input. For example, the user enters profile information by voice using a microphone. Furthermore, the registration unit can automatically read profile information previously entered by the user. For example, it retrieves previously entered profile information from a database and reuses it. The selection unit allows the user to select situations or themes they want to practice. Situations and themes include, but are not limited to, business meetings, presentations, interviews, blind dates, and conversations with friends. The selection unit allows the user to select situations or themes on the application's menu screen. The selection unit also allows the user to select situations or themes using voice input. For example, the user selects situations or themes by voice using a microphone. Furthermore, the selection unit can suggest optimal situations and themes based on the user's past selection history. For example, it can display relevant options based on situations and themes previously selected by the user. The analysis unit performs analysis based on the situations and themes selected by the selection unit. Analysis includes, but is not limited to, voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the user's voice to evaluate tone and speed. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's facial expressions to estimate emotions. For example, it can use a camera to capture the user's facial expressions and use a facial expression analysis algorithm to estimate emotions. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's text to evaluate the logic and accuracy of the information. For example, it can analyze the text entered by the user using natural language processing technology and evaluate the content. The provision unit provides feedback based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit.Feedback includes, but is not limited to, audio feedback, text feedback, and visual feedback. For example, the service provider can communicate the analysis results to the user by voice. The service provider can also display the analysis results as text. For example, it can display the analysis results as text on the screen. Furthermore, the service provider can display the analysis results visually. For example, it can visually display the analysis results using graphs or charts. In this way, the communication skills improvement application according to the embodiment can improve the user's communication skills.
[0030] The registration section allows users to register their profile information. This profile information includes, but is not limited to, name, age, occupation, and hobbies. For example, users can enter their profile information on the app's settings screen. Users can access the app's settings screen and enter information such as their name, age, occupation, and hobbies. This allows the app to understand the user's basic information and provide individually optimized feedback. The registration section also allows users to register their profile information using voice input. For example, users can use a microphone to input their profile information by voice. Voice input is highly convenient because it allows users to enter information without using their hands. Furthermore, the registration section can automatically read profile information previously entered by the user. For example, it can retrieve and reuse previously entered profile information from the database. This saves users the trouble of entering the same information every time. The registration section also implements security measures to safely manage user profile information and protect privacy. For example, data is encrypted and protected from access by third parties. This allows users to register their profile information with peace of mind.
[0031] The selection function allows users to choose situations or themes they want to practice. These situations and themes include, but are not limited to, business meetings, presentations, interviews, blind dates, and conversations with friends. For example, users can select situations or themes from the app's menu screen. Users can then select a situation or theme from the menu screen and begin practicing based on that selection. The selection function also allows users to select situations or themes using voice input. For example, users can use a microphone to select situations or themes by voice. Voice input is highly convenient because it allows users to make selections hands-free. Furthermore, the selection function can suggest optimal situations or themes based on the user's past selection history. For example, it can display related options based on situations or themes the user has previously selected. This makes it easy for users to find practice content that suits them. The selection function is equipped with an algorithm to analyze the user's selection history and provide individually optimized suggestions. This ensures that users can always select the most suitable practice content, efficiently improving their communication skills.
[0032] The analysis unit performs analysis based on the situation or theme selected by the selection unit. Analysis includes, but is not limited to, voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the user's voice to evaluate tone and speed. Voice analysis evaluates the tone, speed, volume, and clarity of the user's speech to identify areas for improvement. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's facial expressions to estimate emotions. For example, it can use a camera to capture the user's facial expressions and use a facial expression analysis algorithm to estimate emotions. Facial expression analysis captures changes in the user's facial expressions in real time and evaluates whether the emotional expression is appropriate. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's text to evaluate the logic and accuracy of the information. For example, it can analyze the text entered by the user using natural language processing technology to evaluate its content. Text analysis evaluates the structure, logic, accuracy of information, and grammatical correctness of the user's writing to identify areas for improvement. The analysis unit integrates these analysis results to perform a comprehensive evaluation. For example, the results of voice analysis, facial expression analysis, and text analysis are combined to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the user's communication skills. This allows the analysis unit to clearly identify the user's strengths and weaknesses and suggest specific areas for improvement.
[0033] The service provider provides feedback based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. This feedback includes, but is not limited to, audio feedback, text feedback, and visual feedback. For example, the service provider can communicate analysis results to the user verbally. Audio feedback is provided in a format that is easy for the user to hear and understand. The service provider can also display analysis results in text. For example, it can display the analysis results as text on the screen. Text feedback allows users to visually confirm the results, making it easier to grasp specific areas for improvement. Furthermore, the service provider can display analysis results visually. For example, it can use graphs or charts to visually display the results. Visual feedback allows users to easily understand the analysis results at a glance and intuitively grasp areas for improvement. The service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the feedback. For example, it can analyze the user's reactions and actions after receiving feedback to identify areas for improvement. The service provider can also save the user's feedback history and provide individually optimized feedback based on past feedback. This allows the service provider to provide effective feedback to users and support the improvement of their communication skills.
[0034] The analysis unit can analyze both verbal and nonverbal aspects. For example, the analysis unit can analyze verbal elements such as the user's language choice, pronunciation, and grammar. It can also analyze nonverbal elements such as the user's gestures, facial expressions, and posture. For example, it can use a camera to capture the user's gestures and facial expressions and analyze the nonverbal elements. Furthermore, the analysis unit can combine both verbal and nonverbal aspects in its analysis. For example, it can simultaneously analyze the user's pronunciation and facial expressions to perform a comprehensive evaluation. By analyzing both verbal and nonverbal aspects, it becomes possible to improve communication skills in a more comprehensive way. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's voice data and video data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the verbal and nonverbal analysis.
[0035] The service provider can perform Good / Bad analysis on visual, auditory, and content elements. For example, the service provider can analyze visual elements such as the user's eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures. It can also analyze auditory elements such as the user's voice tone, speed, and volume. Furthermore, it can analyze content elements such as the structure, logic, and accuracy of the user's speech. For example, the service provider can analyze the user's utterances using natural language processing technology and evaluate the content. This allows for detailed feedback through Good / Bad analysis on visual, auditory, and content elements. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's audio and video data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis on the visual, auditory, and content elements.
[0036] The service provider may include a data storage unit for accumulating past data and confirming growth. The service provider can store data such as the user's past feedback, practice history, and evaluation results. The service provider can also confirm the user's growth based on the accumulated data. For example, the service provider can display past data in chronological order to visually show the user's progress. This makes it easier to grasp the user's progress by accumulating past data and confirming growth. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's past data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the growth confirmation.
[0037] The selection function allows users to choose scenarios such as one-on-one meetings, presentations, interviews, blind dates, and conversations with friends. For example, the user can select a scenario from the app's menu screen. The selection function also allows users to select scenarios using voice input, for example, by using a microphone to select a scenario by voice. Furthermore, the selection function can suggest optimal scenarios based on the user's past selection history, for example, by displaying relevant options based on scenarios the user has previously selected. This allows users to practice various communication skills by selecting diverse scenarios. Some or all of the above-described processes in the selection function may be performed using AI or not. For example, the selection function can input the user's past selection history into a generating AI, which can then suggest optimal scenarios.
[0038] The service provider can provide additional advice by inputting a 360-degree evaluation of a company, combined with past data. For example, the user inputs a 360-degree evaluation of the company into the app. The service provider can also provide additional advice based on the inputted 360-degree evaluation. For example, the service provider can combine the user's past data with the 360-degree evaluation to provide more realistic feedback. This allows for more realistic feedback by providing additional advice based on the company's 360-degree evaluation. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI or not. For example, the service provider can input the user's 360-degree evaluation data into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate additional advice.
[0039] The registration unit can analyze the user's past profile information and suggest the most suitable input fields. For example, the registration unit can automatically display frequently used fields as candidates based on the profile information the user has previously entered. The registration unit can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the registration unit can predict and suggest fields that the user will use at specific times of day based on their past profile information. This enables efficient information registration by suggesting the most suitable input fields based on past profile information. Some or all of the above processes in the registration unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the registration unit can input the user's past profile information into a generating AI and have the generating AI suggest the most suitable input fields.
[0040] The registration unit can filter user profile information based on their current lifestyle and areas of interest.

[0136] 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.

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.

[0155] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0156] 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.
[0157] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

The 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.
[0160] 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).

[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.

[0166] 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.

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.
[0167] 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.).
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).

[0170] 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.
[0171] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the registration unit, selection unit, analysis unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the registration unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the user registers profile information. The selection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where the user selects a situation or theme they want to practice. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, where analysis is performed based on the selected situation or theme. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, where feedback is provided based on the analysis results. Furthermore, the registration unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of inputting profile information based on the estimated emotions. Emotion estimation is implemented, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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."
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure.
