This mechanism allows users to conduct online transactions with peace of mind. The generative AI's authentication and valuation reduces the risk of being sold counterfeit goods and allows users to accurately grasp the market value. For example, when purchasing a luxury watch, users can trade with peace of mind by undergoing authenticity verification and valuation by the AI-generated data. This system also functions as an online trading platform. Users can trade items that have undergone authenticity verification and valuation by the AI-generated data on the platform. This ensures safe and reliable transactions. For instance, a user wanting to sell a branded handbag can have it authenticated by the AI-generated data and then sell it on the platform based on the results. Thus, the online trading platform utilizes AI-generated data to perform authenticity verification and valuation of luxury goods, branded goods, antiques, and second-hand items, providing a safe and reliable online trading experience. Users can trade with peace of mind by undergoing authenticity verification and valuation by the AI-generated data. This allows users to trade with confidence on the online trading platform.
[0029] The online trading platform according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a determination unit, an evaluation unit, and a provision unit.

The provision unit includes, for example, an interface for providing the evaluation results to the user. The provision unit provides the evaluation results through, for example, a web application or a mobile application. As a result, the online trading platform according to the embodiment allows users to conduct transactions with peace of mind.
[0030] The data collection unit collects images and detailed information of items that users wish to have appraised. Specifically, users can upload images of luxury watches, designer bags, antique furniture, etc., and input detailed information about the items. Users can upload information using smartphones or personal computers. The data collection unit receives image and text data sent from these devices and stores it in a central database. For example, in the case of a luxury watch, the user uploads images of the entire watch, the engraving, and detailed images of the movement. For designer bags, they provide images of the exterior, the inner tags, and detailed stitching. For antique furniture, they upload images of the entire piece, decorative parts, and the year of manufacture and manufacturer's markings. In addition to this image data, the data collection unit also collects detailed information such as the brand name, model name, year of manufacture, purchase price, and current condition of the item.

Furthermore, the data collection unit provides an interface for users to upload information, improving ease of use. For example, it includes features to guide the image upload procedure and an auto-completion function for input forms, enabling users to provide information smoothly. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and effectively collect information from users, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit. Specifically, it uses generative AI to analyze the collected information and analyze the characteristics of the products in detail. For example, it analyzes the engravings on luxury watches and the stitching characteristics of brand-name bags. The generative AI uses image recognition technology to analyze product images and extract features unique to specific brands and models. For example, in the case of luxury watches, it analyzes the font and position of the engraving and the structure of the movement, and in the case of brand-name bags, it analyzes the stitching pattern, the texture of the material, and the position of the tag. Furthermore, the generative AI also analyzes text data and compares the detailed product information with image data. For example, it checks whether the brand name and model name entered by the user match the image data and checks for any inconsistencies. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit grasps the characteristics of the products in detail and provides the data necessary for subsequent authenticity determination and market value assessment. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze product characteristics more accurately by comparing them with past data and information collected from other users. For example, it compares them with other products of the same brand or model and evaluates the degree of characteristic agreement. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, and issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected information, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The judgment unit determines the authenticity of a product based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses a generative AI to determine the authenticity of a product. The generative AI is pre-trained on a large amount of authenticity data to determine authenticity based on the characteristics of the product. For example, it determines authenticity based on the markings on luxury watches or the stitching characteristics of brand-name bags. The generative AI uses image recognition technology to extract the characteristics of the product and compares them with the training data. For example, in the case of luxury watches, it checks whether the font and position of the markings and the structure of the movement match those of a genuine product. In the case of brand-name bags, it checks whether the stitching pattern, the texture of the material, and the position of the tag match those of a genuine product. Furthermore, the generative AI also analyzes text data and compares the detailed product information with image data. For example, it checks whether the brand name and model name entered by the user match the image data and checks for any inconsistencies. Based on these analysis results, the judgment unit can determine the authenticity of a product with high accuracy. Furthermore, the judgment unit can improve the accuracy of its authenticity determination by comparing it with past data and information collected from other users. For example, it can compare the product with other products of the same brand or model to evaluate the degree of matching characteristics. Furthermore, the judgment unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns or abnormal data, issuing warnings early. This allows the judgment unit to quickly and accurately determine the authenticity of a product, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.
[0033] The evaluation unit assesses the market value of the product determined by the judgment unit. Specifically, it uses generative AI to evaluate the market value of the product. The generative AI is pre-trained on a large amount of transaction data to evaluate the market value of a product based on past transaction data and market trends. For example, it evaluates the market value of antique furniture and the transaction price of used goods. The generative AI analyzes past transaction data and market trends to evaluate the market value based on the characteristics of the product. For example, in the case of antique furniture, the market value is evaluated based on characteristics such as the year of manufacture, manufacturer, and condition. In the case of used goods, the market value is evaluated based on characteristics such as brand name, model name, years of use, and condition. Furthermore, the generative AI analyzes current market trends in real time and evaluates the market value of the product based on the latest information. For example, if the demand for a particular brand or model is surging, the market value is evaluated taking that impact into account. Based on these analysis results, the evaluation unit can evaluate the market value of the product with high accuracy. Furthermore, the evaluation unit can improve the accuracy of market value evaluation by comparing it with past data and information collected from other users. For example, it can compare it with other products of the same brand or model and evaluate the degree of characteristic agreement. Furthermore, the evaluation unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, and issue warnings early. This allows the evaluation unit to quickly and accurately assess the market value of products, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0128] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.
[0129] As shown in Figure 3, the data processing system 210 includes a data processing device 12 and smart glasses 214. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0132] 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.

[0134] 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 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.
[0138] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

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 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.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent.

[0160] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0161] 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.

[0172] 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.

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.).
[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.
[0176] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, determination unit, evaluation unit, and provision unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects images and detailed information of products uploaded by the user using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes the collected information using AI generated by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example. The determination unit determines the authenticity of the product using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example. The evaluation unit evaluates the market value of the product using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example. The provision unit provides the evaluation results to the user through the speaker 240 of the robot 414, for example. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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."
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
