For example, if the user is relaxed, it can suggest a detailed data delivery method. If the user is stressed, it can suggest a simplified data delivery method. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can suggest a rapid data delivery method. By adjusting the data delivery method based on the user's emotions, this system can increase user satisfaction.
[0136] The data delivery system can adjust the level of detail provided based on the company's needs. For example, if a company requires detailed data, it can provide detailed data. If a company requires general data, it can provide standard data. Furthermore, if a company requires simplified data, it can provide simplified data. By adjusting the level of detail provided based on the company's needs, the system can deliver the most suitable data to each company.
[0137] The data provision system can apply different provision algorithms depending on the industry of the company when providing data. For example, a provision algorithm specifically for medical data can be applied to the medical industry. Similarly, a provision algorithm specifically for purchase history data can be applied to the retail industry. Furthermore, a provision algorithm specifically for location information data can be applied to the travel industry. This allows for industry-specific data provision by applying different provision algorithms according to the company's industry.
[0138] The data delivery system can estimate the user's emotions and prioritize data delivery based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed data delivery can be prioritized. If the user is stressed, simpler data delivery can be prioritized. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, rapid data delivery can be prioritized. By prioritizing data delivery based on the user's emotions, this system reduces the user's burden and delivers data efficiently.
[0139] The data provision system can prioritize providing highly relevant data based on a company's geographical location. For example, if a company needs data related to a specific region, it can prioritize providing data for that region. Similarly, if a company needs global data, it can provide data covering a wide range of areas. Furthermore, if a company needs data related to a specific city, it can prioritize providing data for that city. This allows for the efficient provision of region-specific data by prioritizing highly relevant data based on a company's geographical location.
[0140] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0141] Step 1: The data collection unit collects data from the user, such as purchase history, location information, and health data. For example, purchase history includes the type of product purchased, the date and time of purchase, and the location of purchase; location information includes GPS data, Wi-Fi location information, and beacon data; and health data includes heart rate, steps taken, and sleep data. Step 2: The data protection unit securely manages the data collected by the collection unit. For example, it encrypts the collected data for secure management, implements access control, and performs regular data backups. Step 3: The data provision department provides the data managed by the data protection department to the company. For example, it provides data to the company in real time, provides data in a specified format, and sets the frequency of data provision. Step 4: The market research department uses the data provided by the data provision department to conduct market research and product development. For example, they analyze consumer behavior patterns based on the provided data, understand consumer needs, and identify consumer problems. Step 5: The Product Development Department improves product development and marketing strategies based on the results obtained by the Market Research Department. For example, they develop products, improve marketing strategies, and develop new products based on the analysis results. Step 6: The rewards department provides rewards to users based on the data provided by the data department. For example, it may provide points, coupons, or cash to users each time the data is used.

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.).
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, data protection unit, data provision unit, market research unit, product development unit, and reward provision unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the computer 36 of the robot 414 and collects the user's purchase history, location information, and health data. The data protection unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and encrypts and securely manages the collected data. The data provision unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides data to companies in real time. The market research unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes consumer behavior patterns based on the provided data. The product development unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and improves product development and marketing strategies based on the analysis results. The reward provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides points to the user each time data is used. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.
[0200] 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."
[0201] 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.
[0202] 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.
[0203] 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.
[0204] 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.
[0205] 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.
[0206] 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.
[0207] 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.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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.
[0210] 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.
