Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] 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.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48.

The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The skill visualization system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that facilitates appropriate assignments and growth support by easily collecting and visualizing employee skills. The skill visualization system collects data on employee skills, and a generating AI analyzes it, quantifying the employee's skills for each set item. This makes the employee's skill set visible, which is useful when transferring or assigning tasks. The generating AI also generates career plans and learning plans to address weaknesses, supporting employee growth. For example, the skill visualization system constantly monitors company PCs and meeting tools to collect data on employee skills. For example, it monitors work content such as programming in Java®, creating ideas for new projects, and creating various management files. It also constantly monitors meeting tools to analyze skills such as facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. This allows learning data to be obtained from daily work without the need to prepare individual inputs. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected data and quantifies the employee's skills for each set item. For example, skills such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills are quantified. This makes employees' skill sets visible, which is useful when transferring or assigning tasks. Furthermore, the generating AI creates career plans and learning plans to address any shortcomings in employees. For example, it may suggest a career plan indicating that tasks like XX are a good fit for employee A's skills and that they are expected to excel in those roles. It may also generate a learning plan indicating that A needs to develop their △△ skills in order to perform their desired tasks. This supports employee growth. This system not only makes employees' skill sets visible, which is useful when transferring or assigning tasks, but also supports employee growth. For example, employees can find a career plan that suits them and efficiently learn the necessary skills. In addition, managers can quantitatively understand employees' skill sets and make appropriate assignments. This improves employee satisfaction and increases overall company productivity. In summary, the skill visualization system makes it easy to collect and visualize employee skills, enabling appropriate assignments and growth support.
[0029] The skill visualization system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a quantification unit, a career plan generation unit, and a learning plan generation unit. The data collection unit collects data on employees' skills. The data collection unit can collect data on employees' skills by, for example, constantly monitoring company PCs and meeting tools. For example, the data collection unit monitors work content such as Java programming, idea generation for new projects, and creation of various management files. The data collection unit can also constantly monitor meeting tools and analyze skills such as facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. This makes it possible to obtain learning data from daily work without preparing individual inputs. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit can analyze the collected data and quantify skills by, for example, using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to quantify skills such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. The quantification unit quantifies skills based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The quantification unit can quantify the analyzed skills for each set item. For example, the quantification unit quantifies skills such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. The career plan generation unit generates a career plan based on the skills quantified by the quantification unit. For example, the career plan generation unit can generate an employee's career plan based on the quantified skills. For example, the career plan generation unit proposes a career plan stating that A's skills are suited to tasks like XX, and that they are expected to perform well. The learning plan generation unit generates a learning plan based on the skills quantified by the quantification unit. For example, the learning plan generation unit generates a learning plan stating that A needs to improve their △△ skills in order to perform their desired tasks. As a result, the skill visualization system according to the embodiment can easily collect and visualize employee skills, enabling appropriate assignments and growth support.
[0030] The data collection department collects data on employees' skills. For example, it can continuously monitor company PCs and meeting tools to collect data on employees' skills. Specifically, monitoring software installed on company PCs records the operation history of applications and files used by employees and sends this data to a database. For example, it monitors work content such as Java programming, idea generation for new projects, and creation of various management files. This allows the department to understand what skills employees possess and how often they use those skills. The data collection department can also continuously monitor meeting tools and analyze skills such as facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. Using the speech recognition and text analysis functions of meeting tools, it evaluates the content, frequency, and quality of contributions during meetings and collects this as skill data. This allows learning data to be obtained from daily work without preparing individual inputs. Furthermore, the data collection department can also collect employee self-assessments and supervisor evaluations. For example, it can import the results of regularly conducted evaluation questionnaires and feedback sessions into a database and utilize this as skill data. This allows the data collection unit to evaluate employees' skills from multiple perspectives and collect more accurate data.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can use generative AI to analyze the collected data and quantify skills. Specifically, generative AI uses natural language processing techniques and machine learning algorithms to analyze collected text and audio data. For instance, generative AI can quantify skills such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. The generative AI evaluates the quality and efficiency of programming code and uses this to quantify programming skills. It also analyzes the content and frequency of contributions during meetings to evaluate facilitation and proposal skills. Furthermore, the generative AI can evaluate relative skill levels by comparing them with past data and data from other employees. For example, it can assess how well or poorly a particular skill is compared to other employees performing the same tasks. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and quantify employee skills. Additionally, the analysis unit can analyze skill trends and fluctuations. For example, it can track how a particular skill changes over time and evaluate skill improvement or decline. This allows the analysis department to understand not only the current state of employees' skills but also how those skills might change in the future.
[0032] The quantification unit quantifies skills based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the quantification unit can quantify analyzed skills for each set item. Specifically, the quantification unit sets evaluation criteria for each skill and quantifies the skill based on these criteria. For example, it quantifies skills such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. For programming skills, the quantification unit uses criteria such as code quality, efficiency, and bug rate, and quantifies the skill based on these criteria. For idea generation skills, it uses criteria such as the number and quality of proposed ideas and their feasibility. Furthermore, for facilitation and proposal skills, it uses criteria such as the content and frequency of contributions during meetings and evaluations from other participants. This allows the quantification unit to objectively and quantitatively evaluate and quantify each skill. In addition, the quantification unit can visualize the skill evaluation results. For example, it can display the evaluation results for each skill as graphs or charts, making them easily understandable for employees and supervisors. This allows the quantification unit to present skill evaluation results in an easy-to-understand manner, which can be used to help employees improve their skills and develop career plans.
[0033] The Career Plan Generation Unit generates career plans based on skills quantified by the Quantification Unit. For example, the Career Plan Generation Unit can generate employee career plans based on quantified skills. Specifically, it analyzes employees' strengths and weaknesses based on quantified skill data and proposes the optimal career plan. For example, the Career Plan Generation Unit might propose a career plan stating that, given Employee A's skills, tasks like XX are a good fit and they are expected to perform well. The Career Plan Generation Unit considers not only employee skill data but also employee aspirations and goals, as well as company needs and strategies, when generating career plans. For example, if an employee wishes to take on leadership roles in the future, the unit will propose tasks and training to improve their leadership skills. Also, if the company plans to launch a new business, it will prioritize assigning employees with skills related to that business. In this way, the Career Plan Generation Unit can match employee skills with company needs and provide the optimal career plan. Furthermore, the Career Plan Generation Unit can monitor the progress of career plans and revise them as needed. For example, if an employee acquires new skills or if the company's strategy changes, the Career Plan Generation Unit will re-evaluate the career plan and make appropriate revisions. This allows the career plan generation unit to provide flexible career plans based on the latest information at all times, supporting employee growth and company development.
[0034] The learning plan generation unit generates learning plans based on skills quantified by the quantification unit. For example, the learning plan generation unit can generate employee learning plans based on quantified skills. Specifically, the learning plan generation unit analyzes which skills an employee needs to strengthen based on quantified skill data and proposes an optimal learning plan. For example, the learning plan generation unit generates a learning plan that states that employee A needs to improve their △△ skill for the desired work. The learning plan generation unit generates learning plans considering not only the employee's skill data but also their learning style and learning history. For example, if an employee prefers online courses, it proposes a learning plan centered on online courses. It also evaluates the results of training and courses the employee has previously taken and proposes effective learning methods. In this way, the learning plan generation unit can provide an optimal learning plan that meets the individual needs of each employee. Furthermore, the learning plan generation unit can monitor the progress of the learning plan and modify the plan as needed. For example, if an employee acquires a new skill or if the learning plan is not effective, it re-evaluates the learning plan and makes appropriate modifications. This allows the learning plan generation unit to always provide flexible learning plans based on the latest information, supporting employees' skill development.
[0035] The data collection unit can continuously monitor company PCs and meeting tools to collect data on employees' skills. For example, the data collection unit can continuously monitor company PCs to track tasks such as Java programming, idea generation for new projects, and creation of various management files. It can also continuously monitor meeting tools to analyze skills such as facilitation, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. This allows for easy acquisition of skill data by automatically collecting data on employees' skills. Continuous monitoring can be achieved, for example, by installing specific software to monitor the usage of employees' PCs and meeting tools in real time. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input the usage status of company PCs and meeting tools into an AI and have the AI collect skill data.
[0036] The analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze collected data and quantify skills. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze collected data and quantify skills such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. This improves the accuracy of skill quantification by using a generative AI. The generative AI can, for example, use natural language processing technology to analyze collected text data and quantify skills. It can also use image recognition technology to analyze collected image data and quantify skills. Furthermore, the generative AI can use predictive models to analyze collected data and quantify skills. For example, the generative AI uses a natural language processing model that takes text data as input and outputs the result of quantifying skills to quantify them. This allows the analysis unit to use a generative AI to analyze collected data and quantify skills.
[0037] The quantification unit can quantify the analyzed skills for each set item. For example, the quantification unit quantifies the analyzed skills for each set item, such as Java programming skills, new project idea generation skills, facilitation skills, proposal skills, and problem identification skills. This makes it possible to visualize the skill set by quantifying skills for each set item. The quantification unit quantifies the analyzed skills using, for example, a scoring method. The quantification unit can also quantify the analyzed skills based on evaluation criteria. Furthermore, the quantification unit can quantify the analyzed skills using weighting. For example, the quantification unit quantifies skills on a scale from 0 to 100 as a scoring method. Evaluation criteria are set, for example, based on the importance or difficulty of the skill. Weighting is set, for example, according to the importance of each skill. This allows the quantification unit to quantify the analyzed skills for each set item.
[0038] The career plan generation unit can generate career plans based on quantified skills. For example, the unit generates an employee's career plan based on quantified skills. For instance, it might suggest a career plan indicating that employee A's skills are suited to tasks like XX, and that they are expected to excel in those roles. This enables employee career support by generating career plans based on quantified skills. The career plan generation unit can generate career plans that include, for example, promotion plans and skill development plans. It can also generate career plans based on employee aspirations and goals. Furthermore, it can generate career plans based on industry trends and market demand. For example, the career plan generation unit might suggest a career plan aiming for promotion to the next position as a promotion plan. A skill development plan might include, for example, a learning plan to improve specific skills. Employee aspirations and goals are set based on, for example, future career goals and desired job content. This allows the career plan generation unit to generate career plans based on quantified skills.
[0039] The learning plan generation unit can generate learning plans based on quantified skills. For example, the learning plan generation unit generates employee learning plans based on quantified skills. For example, the learning plan generation unit generates a learning plan stating that employee A needs to improve their △△ skill for the desired work. This enables support for employee growth by generating learning plans based on quantified skills. The learning plan generation unit generates learning plans that include, for example, training programs and self-study plans. The learning plan generation unit can also identify employee skill gaps and generate learning plans to bridge those gaps. Furthermore, the learning plan generation unit can generate learning plans based on industry trends and market demand. For example, the learning plan generation unit proposes training courses to improve specific skills as training programs. Self-study plans include, for example, online courses and self-study using books. Skill gaps are identified, for example, based on the difference between the current skill level and the target skill level. This allows the learning plan generation unit to generate learning plans based on quantified skills.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze an employee's past work history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the content of projects an employee has worked on in the past and prioritize the collection of relevant skill data. The data collection unit can also extract tasks that require specific skills from an employee's past work history and collect data related to those skills. Furthermore, the data collection unit can select the most efficient data collection method based on an employee's past work history and collect skill data. This enables efficient data collection by analyzing past work history. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input an employee's past work history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal data collection method.
[0041] The data collection unit can filter skill data based on an employee's current projects and areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting skill data related to the project the employee is currently working on. The data collection unit can also filter and collect relevant skill data based on the employee's areas of interest. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect data based on the skills required for the employee's current project. This allows for the collection of highly relevant skill data by filtering the data based on the current project and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input employee project data and areas of interest data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0042] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the geographical location of employees when collecting skill data. For example, if an employee works in a specific region, the data collection unit will prioritize the collection of skill data related to that region. Furthermore, if an employee is working remotely, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of skill data related to remote work. Additionally, if an employee is on a business trip, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of skill data related to their business trip destination. This allows for the collection of highly relevant skill data by considering geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input employee geographical location data into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect highly relevant data.
[0043] The data collection unit can analyze employees' social media activity and collect relevant data when collecting skill data. For example, the data collection unit can collect skill data based on projects and work content shared by employees on social media. The data collection unit can also identify areas of interest from employees' social media activity and collect relevant skill data. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect relevant skill data from experts and groups that employees follow on social media. This allows for the collection of skill data based on employees' areas of interest by analyzing their social media activity. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input employee social media data into a generating AI and have the generating AI collect relevant data.
[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the skill data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit will perform a detailed analysis on important skill data. It can also perform a basic analysis on general skill data. Furthermore, for skill data related to a specific project, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the importance of the project. This allows for efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the skill data. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance of the skill data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0045] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of skill data during analysis. For example, for programming skills, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm that evaluates the quality and efficiency of the code. For facilitation skills, the analysis unit can also apply an algorithm that evaluates the progress of meetings and the reactions of participants. Furthermore, for proposal skills, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm that evaluates the originality and feasibility of the proposal. By applying analysis algorithms according to the category of skill data, more accurate analysis becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the categories of skill data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of the analysis algorithm.
[0046] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the timing of skill data collection during the analysis process. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of recently collected skill data. It can also prioritize the analysis of skill data collected during a specific project period. Furthermore, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on regularly collected skill data. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the timing of skill data collection. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

[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 data collection unit, analysis unit, quantification unit, career plan generation unit, and learning plan generation unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects data on employees' skills using the robot 414's computer 36 and camera 42. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data. The quantification unit quantifies skills based on the data analyzed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The career plan generation unit generates a career plan based on the skills quantified by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The learning plan generation unit generates a learning plan based on the skills quantified by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[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.
