[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.

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 reliability evaluation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to evaluate the credibility of information obtained by searching the internet. This reliability evaluation system operates when a user enters keywords into a search engine. The generative AI analyzes the web pages of the search results and evaluates the reliability of their content. The evaluation criteria include whether technical terms are used correctly and whether the information is based on reliable sources. The evaluation results are displayed in the search results, allowing the user to check the reliability of the information. For example, a user enters keywords such as "health information" or "financial information." This information is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the web pages of the search results based on the entered keywords. The generative AI analyzes the content of the web pages and evaluates the usage of technical terms and the reliability of the information sources. For example, in the case of medical information, it evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly and whether the information is based on reliable medical institutions. The evaluation results are displayed in the search results. For example, a highly reliable web page will display "Reliability: High," and a low-reliability web page will display "Reliability: Low." This allows the user to check the reliability of the information by looking at the search results. This system eliminates the need for users to verify the reliability of information, protecting them from unreliable sources. Furthermore, implementing this system in search engines differentiates them from competitors, enabling them to provide users with more trustworthy information. For example, when a user searches for "health information," the generating AI analyzes the search results web pages and evaluates their reliability. Highly reliable web pages display "Reliability: High," allowing users to use the information with confidence. Conversely, unreliable web pages display "Reliability: Low," allowing users to avoid that information. In this way, a web page reliability evaluation system utilizing generating AI allows users to easily verify the reliability of information obtained on the internet, reducing the risk of misinformation. Thus, the reliability evaluation system enables users to easily verify the reliability of information obtained on the internet, reducing the risk of misinformation.

[0029] The reliability evaluation system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a display unit. The reception unit receives keyword input from the user. The reception unit operates, for example, when the user enters keywords into a search engine. The reception unit inputs the keywords into a generation AI. The analysis unit analyzes the search result web pages based on the keywords received by the reception unit and evaluates the reliability of their content. The analysis unit analyzes the search result web pages, for example, using a generation AI. The analysis unit evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly, whether the information is based on reliable sources, etc. For example, in the case of medical information, it evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly and whether the information is based on reliable medical institutions. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the web pages using a generation AI and evaluates the usage of technical terms and the reliability of the information sources. The display unit displays the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit in the search results. The display unit displays, for example, "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for unreliable web pages. The display unit allows the user to view the search results and confirm the reliability of the information. This allows the reliability evaluation system according to the embodiment to easily verify the reliability of search results. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit are performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the search result web page into the generating AI, which analyzes the content of the web page and evaluates the usage of technical terms and the reliability of information sources. Some or all of the above-described processes in the display unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the display unit inputs the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit into an AI model, which then displays the reliability.

[0030] The reception unit receives keyword input from users. Specifically, it operates when a user enters keywords into a search engine. For example, if a user enters keywords such as "latest medical technology" or "reliable news sites," the reception unit receives the keywords and proceeds to the next step. The reception unit inputs the keywords into a generating AI. This generating AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the meaning of the keywords and generates prompts to obtain relevant search results. For example, the generating AI understands the context of the keywords and constructs appropriate search queries. This allows the reception unit to efficiently process the keywords entered by the user and prepare them for passing on to the next analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception unit can learn from the user's input history and past search patterns to perform more accurate keyword analysis. For example, if a user has frequently searched for "medical" related keywords in the past, the reception unit takes that information into consideration and inputs prompts into the generating AI to provide more relevant search results. This allows the reception unit to respond flexibly to user needs and improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of the system.

[0031] The analysis department analyzes web pages in search results based on keywords received by the reception department and evaluates the reliability of their content. Specifically, it uses generative AI to analyze web pages in search results. The generative AI utilizes natural language processing technology to analyze the content of web pages in detail. For example, the generative AI analyzes the text on the web page and evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly. In the case of medical information, the generative AI checks whether medical terminology is used accurately and whether it is based on information from a reliable medical institution. Furthermore, the generative AI evaluates the information sources of the web page and determines whether they are based on reliable sources. For example, information from academic papers or public institution websites is evaluated as highly reliable. On the other hand, information from personal blogs or unreliable sources is evaluated as unreliable. Based on these evaluation criteria, the analysis department makes a comprehensive judgment on the reliability of the web page. Furthermore, the analysis department can also utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term reliability evaluations. For example, by analyzing the reliability of information that a particular website has provided in the past and understanding the trends, it can predict future reliability. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only perform real-time reliability assessments but also long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the overall reliability and safety of the system.

[0032] The display unit shows the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit in the search results. Specifically, it displays "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for less reliable web pages. The display unit allows users to check the reliability of information when viewing search results. For example, it displays the reliability rating next to each link in the search results, allowing users to judge reliability at a glance. Furthermore, the display unit can also provide detailed information about the reliability rating. For example, clicking on the details of a web page displayed as "Reliability: High" displays the evaluation criteria and detailed analysis results. This allows users to understand why that web page was rated as highly reliable. The display unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the reliability rating. For example, by having users actually view web pages rated as "Reliability: High" and provide feedback on whether they were satisfied with the content, the evaluation criteria of the analysis unit can be reviewed. In addition, the display unit supports multiple devices and platforms, allowing users to check the reliability rating from any device. For example, it optimizes the display format for different devices such as smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers to improve the user experience. This allows the display unit to provide users with a quick and accurate reliability assessment, making it easy to verify the reliability of the information.

[0033] The analysis unit has a function to refer to a specialized terminology dictionary in order to evaluate whether the usage of specialized terminology is correct. For example, the analysis unit uses a generating AI to refer to the specialized terminology dictionary and evaluate whether the usage of specialized terminology is correct. The analysis unit can refer to specialized terminology dictionaries such as medical terminology dictionaries and technical terminology dictionaries. For example, the analysis unit refers to a medical terminology dictionary and evaluates whether the usage of specialized terminology in medical information is correct. The analysis unit also refers to a technical terminology dictionary and evaluates whether the usage of specialized terminology in technical information is correct. In this way, the analysis unit can evaluate the accurate use of specialized terminology. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs a specialized terminology dictionary into the generating AI, and the generating AI evaluates the usage of the specialized terminology.

[0034] The analysis unit has a function to refer to a list of reliable sources in order to evaluate the reliability of the information source. The analysis unit, for example, uses a generative AI to refer to the list of reliable sources and evaluate the reliability of the information source. The analysis unit can refer to lists of reliable sources such as government agency websites and academic papers. For example, the analysis unit can refer to government agency websites and evaluate the reliability of the information source. The analysis unit can also refer to academic papers and evaluate the reliability of the information source. This allows the analysis unit to make evaluations based on reliable sources. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit is performed using a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs a list of reliable sources into the generative AI, and the generative AI evaluates the reliability of the information source.

[0035] The display unit has the function of displaying "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for unreliable web pages. For example, the display unit displays "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages, allowing users to use the information with confidence. Also, the display unit displays "Reliability: Low" for unreliable web pages, allowing users to avoid that information. The display unit needs to clearly define the reliability evaluation criteria and specific display methods. For example, the display unit displays reliability using evaluation scores or reliability indicators. This allows the display unit to easily identify highly reliable information. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the display unit inputs the reliability evaluation results into an AI model, and the AI ​​model displays the reliability.

[0036] The reception desk can analyze the user's past search history and suggest the most suitable keywords. For example, the reception desk can automatically display keywords that the user has frequently searched for in the past as suggestions. The reception desk can also prioritize suggesting search methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest keywords to be used at specific times based on the user's past search history. This allows the reception desk to suggest the most suitable keywords based on the user's past search history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's search history data into an AI model, and the AI ​​model can suggest the most suitable keywords.

For example, it can suggest keywords related to the user's region based on the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the reception desk can prioritize displaying keywords related to their destination. In addition, the reception desk can analyze the user's past location data and suggest relevant keywords. This allows the reception desk to present highly relevant keywords based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the reception desk inputs the user's location data into an AI model, and the AI ​​model presents highly relevant keywords.

[0055] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0056] Step 1: The reception desk receives keyword input from the user. For example, it operates when the user enters keywords into a search engine, and then inputs them into the keyword generation AI. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the search result web pages based on the keywords received by the reception unit and evaluates the reliability of their content. For example, it uses generative AI to evaluate whether technical terms are used correctly and whether they are based on reliable sources. Step 3: The display unit displays the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit in the search results. For example, it displays "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for less reliable web pages.

[0057] (Example of form 2) The reliability evaluation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to evaluate the credibility of information obtained by searching the internet. This reliability evaluation system operates when a user enters keywords into a search engine. The generative AI analyzes the web pages of the search results and evaluates the reliability of their content. The evaluation criteria include whether technical terms are used correctly and whether the information is based on reliable sources. The evaluation results are displayed in the search results, allowing the user to check the reliability of the information. For example, a user enters keywords such as "health information" or "financial information." This information is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the web pages of the search results based on the entered keywords. The generative AI analyzes the content of the web pages and evaluates the usage of technical terms and the reliability of the information sources. For example, in the case of medical information, it evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly and whether the information is based on reliable medical institutions. The evaluation results are displayed in the search results. For example, a highly reliable web page will display "Reliability: High," and a low-reliability web page will display "Reliability: Low." This allows the user to check the reliability of the information by looking at the search results. This system eliminates the need for users to verify the reliability of information, protecting them from unreliable sources. Furthermore, implementing this system in search engines differentiates them from competitors, enabling them to provide users with more trustworthy information. For example, when a user searches for "health information," the generating AI analyzes the search results web pages and evaluates their reliability. Highly reliable web pages display "Reliability: High," allowing users to use the information with confidence. Conversely, unreliable web pages display "Reliability: Low," allowing users to avoid that information. In this way, a web page reliability evaluation system utilizing generating AI allows users to easily verify the reliability of information obtained on the internet, reducing the risk of misinformation. Thus, the reliability evaluation system enables users to easily verify the reliability of information obtained on the internet, reducing the risk of misinformation.

[0058] The reliability evaluation system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a display unit. The reception unit receives keyword input from the user. The reception unit operates, for example, when the user enters keywords into a search engine. The reception unit inputs the keywords into a generation AI. The analysis unit analyzes the search result web pages based on the keywords received by the reception unit and evaluates the reliability of their content. The analysis unit analyzes the search result web pages, for example, using a generation AI. The analysis unit evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly, whether the information is based on reliable sources, etc. For example, in the case of medical information, it evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly and whether the information is based on reliable medical institutions. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the web pages using a generation AI and evaluates the usage of technical terms and the reliability of the information sources. The display unit displays the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit in the search results. The display unit displays, for example, "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for unreliable web pages. The display unit allows the user to view the search results and confirm the reliability of the information. This allows the reliability evaluation system according to the embodiment to easily verify the reliability of search results. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit are performed using a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit inputs the search result web page into the generating AI, which analyzes the content of the web page and evaluates the usage of technical terms and the reliability of information sources. Some or all of the above-described processes in the display unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the display unit inputs the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit into an AI model, which then displays the reliability.

[0059] The reception unit receives keyword input from users. Specifically, it operates when a user enters keywords into a search engine. For example, if a user enters keywords such as "latest medical technology" or "reliable news sites," the reception unit receives the keywords and proceeds to the next step. The reception unit inputs the keywords into a generating AI. This generating AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the meaning of the keywords and generates prompts to obtain relevant search results. For example, the generating AI understands the context of the keywords and constructs appropriate search queries. This allows the reception unit to efficiently process the keywords entered by the user and prepare them for passing on to the next analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception unit can learn from the user's input history and past search patterns to perform more accurate keyword analysis. For example, if a user has frequently searched for "medical" related keywords in the past, the reception unit takes that information into consideration and inputs prompts into the generating AI to provide more relevant search results. This allows the reception unit to respond flexibly to user needs and improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of the system.

[0060] The analysis department analyzes web pages in search results based on keywords received by the reception department and evaluates the reliability of their content. Specifically, it uses generative AI to analyze web pages in search results. The generative AI utilizes natural language processing technology to analyze the content of web pages in detail. For example, the generative AI analyzes the text on the web page and evaluates whether technical terms are used correctly. In the case of medical information, the generative AI checks whether medical terminology is used accurately and whether it is based on information from a reliable medical institution. Furthermore, the generative AI evaluates the information sources of the web page and determines whether they are based on reliable sources. For example, information from academic papers or public institution websites is evaluated as highly reliable. On the other hand, information from personal blogs or unreliable sources is evaluated as unreliable. Based on these evaluation criteria, the analysis department makes a comprehensive judgment on the reliability of the web page. Furthermore, the analysis department can also utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term reliability evaluations. For example, by analyzing the reliability of information that a particular website has provided in the past and understanding the trends, it can predict future reliability. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, enabling it to issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only perform real-time reliability assessments but also long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the overall reliability and safety of the system.

[0061] The display unit shows the reliability evaluated by the analysis unit in the search results. Specifically, it displays "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for less reliable web pages. The display unit allows users to check the reliability of information when viewing search results. For example, it displays the reliability rating next to each link in the search results, allowing users to judge reliability at a glance. Furthermore, the display unit can also provide detailed information about the reliability rating. For example, clicking on the details of a web page displayed as "Reliability: High" displays the evaluation criteria and detailed analysis results. This allows users to understand why that web page was rated as highly reliable. The display unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the reliability rating. For example, by having users actually view web pages rated as "Reliability: High" and provide feedback on whether they were satisfied with the content, the evaluation criteria of the analysis unit can be reviewed. In addition, the display unit supports multiple devices and platforms, allowing users to check the reliability rating from any device. For example, it optimizes the display format for different devices such as smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers to improve the user experience. This allows the display unit to provide users with a quick and accurate reliability assessment, making it easy to verify the reliability of the information.

[0064] The display unit has the function of displaying "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages and "Reliability: Low" for unreliable web pages. For example, the display unit displays "Reliability: High" for highly reliable web pages, allowing users to use the information with confidence. Also, the display unit displays "Reliability: Low" for unreliable web pages, allowing users to avoid that information. The display unit needs to clearly define the reliability evaluation criteria and specific display methods. For example, the display unit displays reliability using evaluation scores or reliability indicators. This allows the display unit to easily identify highly reliable information. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the display unit inputs the reliability evaluation results into an AI model, and the AI ​​model displays the reliability.

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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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."

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
