[0028] (Example of form 1) The product selection support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects user information, analyzes product trends, and recommends the most suitable product to the user. The product selection support system collects user information (interests, purchase intentions, etc.) and product trends in the market, and a generating AI analyzes this data to recommend the most suitable product to the user. This mechanism allows users to easily find products based on their interests and purchase intentions. For example, the product selection support system collects information such as the user's attributes, life events, purchase intentions, purchase experience, and interests. This information is inferred based on the user's behavior history using a specific data base. For example, data such as keywords the user has searched for in the past and advertisements they have clicked are collected. Next, the product selection support system uses a specific trend map to predict products that are currently trending or likely to become popular from search data and visualizes them by category. This makes it possible to grasp current trending products. Based on the collected user information and product trends, the generating AI performs analysis. The generating AI recommends the most suitable product based on the user's interests and purchase intentions. For example, if the user is a "sweets lover," the generating AI recommends trending products such as "maritozzo." In this process, the generating AI selects the most suitable product by considering the user's past behavior history and current trend data. Finally, the AI presents the recommended product to the user. For example, the chat AI might send a message like, "Have you heard of Maritozzo? It's a trendy dessert whose search volume has skyrocketed since the end of last year. I think it's perfect for you, someone with a sweet tooth and a curious mind!" This allows users to easily find products based on their interests and purchasing intentions. This system allows users to enjoy a new shopping experience and bring a "!" to their daily lives. In this way, the product selection support system makes it easy for users to find products based on their interests and purchasing intentions.
[0029] The product selection support system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a trend collection unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects user information. For example, the collection unit collects information such as user attributes, life events, purchase intentions, purchase experiences, and interests. The collection unit uses a specific data base to collect information that can be inferred based on the user's behavior history. For example, the collection unit collects data such as keywords the user has searched for in the past and advertisements they have clicked. The trend collection unit collects product trends. For example, the trend collection unit uses a specific trend map to predict products that are currently trending or likely to become popular based on search data, and visualizes them by category. The trend collection unit can grasp current trending products. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and the trend collection unit and recommends the most suitable products to the user. The analysis unit uses generative AI to recommend the most suitable products based on the user's interests and purchase intentions. For example, if the user is a "sweets lover," the analysis unit recommends trending products such as "maritozzo." The analysis unit selects the most suitable product by considering the user's past behavior history and current trend data. The supply unit presents the product recommended by the analysis unit to the user. The supply unit sends a message recommending the most suitable product to the user, for example, using a chat AI. For example, the supply unit sends a message such as, "Have you heard of Maritozzo? It's a trendy dessert whose search volume has skyrocketed since the end of last year. I think it's perfect for you, who loves sweets and is very curious!" As a result, the product selection support system according to the embodiment can easily find products based on the user's interests and purchase intentions.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user information. For example, it collects information such as user attributes, life events, purchase intentions, purchase experiences, and interests. Specifically, it collects basic attribute information such as the user's age, gender, occupation, and place of residence. It also collects information on life events such as marriage, childbirth, and relocation to understand the user's living situation. Furthermore, it collects information on purchase intentions and purchase experiences, such as what products the user is interested in, what products they have purchased in the past, and what products they are currently considering purchasing. Regarding interests, it analyzes the user's search history, browsing history, and social media activity to understand what areas the user is interested in based on their hobbies and preferences. The data collection unit uses a specific data infrastructure to collect information that can be inferred based on the user's behavioral history. For example, the data collection unit collects data such as keywords the user has searched for in the past and advertisements they have clicked. This allows it to infer what products the user is interested in and collect more accurate information. The data collection unit centrally manages this information and makes it accessible to the analysis and provisioning units. Furthermore, the data collection unit can adjust the frequency and accuracy of data collection, enabling flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and effectively collect user information and improve the overall system performance.
[0031] The Trend Collection Department collects product trends. For example, it uses specific trend maps to predict which products are currently trending or likely to become trending based on search data, and visualizes this information by category. Specifically, the Trend Collection Department analyzes data collected from internet search engines, social media, and online shopping sites to understand current trending products. For instance, it analyzes search query data from search engines to identify rapidly rising keywords and phrases. It also analyzes social media posts, comments, and hashtag usage to identify products and topics of high user interest. Furthermore, it analyzes sales data, review counts, and ratings from online shopping sites to understand trends in popular and new products. Based on this data, the Trend Collection Department predicts which products are currently trending or likely to become trending and visualizes this information by category. For example, it lists current trending products for categories such as food, fashion, and home appliances, and displays them visually using graphs and charts. This allows the Trend Collection Department to provide users with the latest trend information and build a foundation for recommending products that will interest them.
[0032] The analysis unit analyzes information collected by the data collection unit and the trend collection unit to recommend the most suitable products to the user. The analysis unit uses generative AI to recommend the most suitable products based on the user's interests and purchase intentions. Specifically, the generative AI receives user attribute information, behavioral history, and trend data as input, and uses this data to predict the user's preferences and needs. For example, if the user is a "sweets lover," the generative AI will recommend trending products such as "maritozzo" based on past search and purchase history. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze text data such as the user's search queries, reviews, and comments to understand the user's interests. It also uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's behavioral patterns and purchase history to select the most suitable products. Furthermore, the generative AI considers the latest trend data provided by the trend collection unit to recommend the products that will be most interesting to the user. As a result, the analysis unit can select the most suitable products by considering the user's past behavioral history and current trend data, and provide personalized product recommendations to the user.
[0033] The service provider presents users with products recommended by the analysis department. For example, the service provider uses chat AI to send messages recommending the most suitable products to users. Specifically, the service provider generates personalized messages based on the user's interests and purchase intentions, and recommends products to the user. For example, the service provider might send a message such as, "Have you heard of Maritozzo? It's a trendy dessert that's seen a surge in searches since the end of last year. It's perfect for you, someone with a sweet tooth and a curious personality!" The chat AI uses natural language processing technology to recommend products through dialogue with the user and collects user reactions and feedback. Based on this feedback, the service provider can continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its recommendations. For example, if a user shows interest in a recommended product, the service provider provides related products and additional information. If a user shows no interest in a recommended product, the service provider recommends a different product. Furthermore, the service provider can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can reliably deliver important information using not only smartphone notifications but also voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the sales department to quickly and reliably recommend products to users, thereby increasing their purchase intent.
[0034] The data collection unit can collect information such as user attributes, life events, purchase intentions, purchase experiences, and interests.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0146] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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 processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0149] 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.
[0150] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.).
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, trend collection unit, analysis unit, and provision unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects user information using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and the control unit 46A collects the user's attributes and behavioral history. The trend collection unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and collects product trends using a trend map and visualizes them by category. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and recommends the most suitable product to the user using a generation AI. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and sends a message recommending the most suitable product to the user using a chat AI. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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."
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
