[0028] (Example of form 1) The future dialogue system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that simulates a dialogue with the user's future self based on the user's current data. The future dialogue system analyzes the user's current behavioral data and lifestyle, and provides messages and advice from the future self, allowing the user to gain insights into their current choices and actions. This enables the user to reaffirm their life goals and direction and increase their motivation. For example, the future dialogue system collects the user's current behavioral data and lifestyle. For example, data such as what activities the user does every day, what they eat, and what kind of exercise they do is collected. Next, the future dialogue system predicts the user's future state based on the collected data. For example, it predicts what kind of health condition the user will have in the future and what kind of career they will build if they continue their current lifestyle. Based on this prediction, messages and advice from the future self are generated. The generated messages and advice are provided to the user. For example, the future self may provide advice such as, "If you continue your current lifestyle, you may harm your health in the future, so you should increase your exercise." This enables the user to gain insights into their current choices and actions. Furthermore, the future dialogue system supports the user in reaffirming their future goals and direction and creating a concrete action plan. For example, the system may suggest specific exercise and diet plans to maintain health in the future. This allows users to take concrete actions toward their goals. The future dialogue system helps users reaffirm their life goals and direction, boosting their motivation. For instance, creating a concrete action plan to stay healthy in the future increases awareness of daily life and improves motivation. Similarly, in their careers, taking concrete steps toward future goals increases their motivation at work. This allows the future dialogue system to simulate conversations with their future selves based on the user's current data, gaining insights along the way.

[0029] The future dialogue system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a simulation unit, and a data provision unit. The data collection unit collects the user's current behavioral data and lifestyle. For example, the data collection unit collects data such as the user's daily habits, work patterns, and hobbies. For example, the data collection unit can collect data such as what activities the user does on a daily basis, what they eat, and what kind of exercise they do. The data collection unit can also collect data such as the user's travel history and sleep patterns. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, the analysis unit predicts the user's future state based on the collected data. For example, the analysis unit can predict what kind of health condition the user will have in the future and what kind of career they will build if they continue their current lifestyle. The analysis unit can also provide a basis for simulating the user's future state based on the collected data. The simulation unit simulates a dialogue with one's future self based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the simulation unit generates messages and advice from one's future self. For example, the simulation unit can generate advice that continuing current lifestyle habits could harm one's health in the future and therefore exercise should be increased. The simulation unit can also generate advice on what kind of career to build in the future. The delivery unit provides the messages and advice generated by the simulation unit. The delivery unit provides the generated messages and advice to the user. For example, the delivery unit can provide messages and advice from one's future self as text messages or voice advice. The delivery unit can also support the user in reaffirming their future goals and direction and creating concrete action plans. For example, the delivery unit can suggest specific exercise and diet plans to maintain health in the future. In this way, the future dialogue system according to the embodiment can simulate a dialogue with one's future self based on the user's current data and gain insights.

[0030] The data collection unit collects the user's current behavioral data and lifestyle. For example, it collects data on the user's daily habits, work patterns, and hobbies.

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 simulation unit simulates a dialogue with one's future self based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the simulation unit generates messages and advice from one's future self. Specifically, it can generate advice such as, "If you continue your current lifestyle, you may harm your health in the future, so you should increase your exercise." The simulation uses generative AI to realistically reproduce the user's future state. For example, the generative AI generates multiple future health and career scenarios based on the user's current data and provides advice based on each scenario. This allows the user to concretely understand how different lifestyles and choices will affect them in the future. The simulation unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and realism of the simulation. For example, it updates the simulation model based on the user's actual actions and results, providing more realistic scenarios. Furthermore, the simulation unit can generate customized advice tailored to the user's goals and desires. This allows the simulation unit to provide specific and practical advice to the user, supporting them in achieving their future goals.

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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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."

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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. 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.
