For example, it can analyze keywords and topics that users frequently search for and suggest unused features related to them. The analysis unit can also identify unused features related to seasons or events based on what users searched for during a specific period. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze what users searched for in specific locations and suggest unused features related to those locations. This allows for the identification of optimal unused features based on the user's search history. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the analysis unit can input user search history data into AI and have the AI identify unused features.
[0098] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the audio tone of the explanatory video based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the explanatory video can be generated with a calm audio tone. If the user is in a hurry, the explanatory video can be generated with a fast and clear audio tone. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the explanatory video can be generated with an energetic audio tone. This allows the audio tone of the explanatory video to be adjusted based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI.

For example, the settings unit can input data on the user's past settings history into an AI and have the AI select the optimal settings method.
[0100] The guide unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the customization guide based on those emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the guide unit can provide a simple and easy-to-understand guide. If the user is relaxed, the guide unit can also provide a guide with more detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the guide unit can provide a guide that quickly explains the customization method.

For example, the guide unit can input user emotion data into an AI and have the AI adjust the customization guide.
[0101] The analysis unit can identify highly relevant unused features by considering the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific city, the analysis unit can suggest unused features related to that city. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the analysis unit can suggest unused features that would be useful at their travel destination. Additionally, if the user is at home, the analysis unit can identify unused features available at home. This allows for the identification of highly relevant unused features based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's geographical location data into an AI and have the AI identify highly relevant unused features.
[0102] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the length of the explanatory video based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the generation unit can generate a short, concise explanatory video. If the user is relaxed, the generation unit can also generate a longer explanatory video with more detailed explanations. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the generation unit can generate an explanatory video with visually stimulating effects. This allows the length of the explanatory video to be adjusted based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or a generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using or without a generative AI. For example, the generation unit can input user emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the length of the explanatory video.
[0103] The settings unit can customize the settings based on the user's current living situation. For example, if the user is at work, the settings unit will prioritize suggesting work-related settings. If the user is on vacation, the settings unit can also prioritize suggesting relaxing settings. Furthermore, if the user is participating in a specific event, the settings unit can suggest settings related to that event. This allows the settings to be customized based on the user's current living situation. Some or all of the above processing in the settings unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the settings unit can input data on the user's current living situation into the AI and have the AI perform the customization of the settings.
[0104] The guide unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of customization methods based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the guide unit will prioritize suggesting relaxing customization methods. It can also prioritize suggesting entertainment customization methods if the user is excited. Furthermore, if the user is tired, it can prioritize suggesting relaxation customization methods. This allows the guide unit to determine the priority of customization methods based on the user's emotions.

It can also analyze the activity of accounts a user follows and identify relevant unused features. Furthermore, it can analyze the activity of groups a user participates in and suggest unused features related to those groups. This allows for the identification of relevant unused features based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the analytics unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the analytics unit can input data on the user's social media activity into an AI and have the AI identify relevant unused features.
[0106] The settings unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of settings based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the settings unit will prioritize suggesting relaxing settings. It can also prioritize suggesting entertainment settings if the user is excited.

[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0108] Step 1: The analysis department analyzes the user's smartphone usage patterns. Specifically, it collects data such as the user's operation history and app usage frequency to identify unused functions. For example, if a user frequently uses the camera app but never uses the editing function, the department will suggest the editing function. Step 2: The generation unit automatically generates customized explanatory videos about the identified unused features. The generation unit uses a generation AI to automatically generate content based on the user's usage patterns. For example, if it suggests the editing function of the camera app, it will generate a video showing how to use the editing function and specific operating procedures. Step 3: The settings section allows you to add the features introduced in the explanatory video with a single click. For example, the user simply presses the "Add" button, and the basic settings are automatically completed. The settings section uses AI to minimize user interaction and complete the setup quickly. Step 4: The guide section provides video tutorials explaining advanced customization methods for the configured features. For example, it generates videos demonstrating how to further customize the editing functions of the camera app or how to apply specific filters. Using AI, the guide section provides further detailed customization instructions after the user has completed the basic settings.

The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0148] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0149] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0150] 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).
[0151] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0155] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0156] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0157] 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.).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, generation unit, setting unit, and guide unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 and collects data such as the user's operation history and the frequency of application use to identify unused functions. The generation unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and automatically generates customized explanatory videos about the identified unused functions. The setting unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and adds the functions introduced in the explanatory video with a single click. The guide unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and explains advanced customization methods for the set functions in a video. 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
