[0028] (Example of form 1) The voice assistant system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that eliminates the need to call out to the voice assistant and automatically detects when the voice assistant is being spoken to based on the content of the conversation. The voice assistant system allows the user to give instructions to the voice assistant without using a specific calling phrase. For example, if the user simply says, "Set a timer for 3 minutes," the voice assistant will automatically respond and start the timer. This mechanism eliminates the need for the user to call out to the voice assistant in anger and allows for a quick response in emergencies. First, the voice assistant constantly monitors the audio and analyzes the content of the conversation. Next, it determines from the analyzed content whether an instruction for the voice assistant is included. For example, if the user says, "Set a timer for 3 minutes," the voice assistant detects this instruction and starts the timer. In this case, there is no need to use a specific calling phrase. This mechanism allows the user to give instructions to the voice assistant in a natural conversation, making it easy to operate. It also improves user convenience by allowing for a quick response in emergencies. For example, even if your hands are busy while cooking, you can start the timer simply by saying, "Set a timer for 3 minutes." Furthermore, this mechanism includes technology for the voice assistant to accurately understand the user's intentions and take appropriate action. For example, a voice assistant can analyze the tone and context of the user's voice to determine the urgency of the instruction. This allows the voice assistant to respond quickly and provide appropriate assistance when the user says "help" in an emergency. Thus, the present invention eliminates the need to call out to the voice assistant and provides a mechanism that automatically detects when the voice assistant is being spoken to based on the content of the conversation. This allows the user to give instructions to the voice assistant in a natural conversation, making it easy to operate and enabling a quick response in emergencies. As a result, the voice assistant system can quickly and accurately detect the user's instructions and take appropriate action.
[0029] The voice assistant system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, an analysis unit, a detection unit, and an execution unit. The monitoring unit continuously monitors voice. For example, the monitoring unit monitors voice in real time and constantly captures the user's speech. The monitoring unit can also perform periodic sampling and collect voice data. For example, the monitoring unit samples voice data every second and transmits it to the analysis unit. The analysis unit analyzes the voice monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the analysis unit converts the voice data into text data using speech recognition technology. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the voice data using natural language processing technology. For example, the analysis unit converts the voice data into text data and analyzes the text data to extract instructions. The detection unit detects instructions for the voice assistant from the content analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the detection unit detects instructions by detecting specific keywords. The detection unit can also perform contextual analysis to understand the intent of the instructions. For example, the detection unit detects the instruction "set a timer for 3 minutes" and starts the timer. The execution unit performs actions based on instructions detected by the detection unit. For example, the execution unit can operate home appliances. The execution unit can also provide information. For example, the execution unit can start a timer and sound an alarm after 3 minutes. This eliminates the need to call out to the voice assistant system according to the embodiment, and allows the voice assistant to automatically detect from the content of the conversation that it is being spoken to. Some or all of the above-described processes in the monitoring unit, analysis unit, detection unit, and execution unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input voice data into the AI and monitor the voice in real time. The analysis unit can input voice data into the AI and perform speech recognition and natural language processing. The detection unit can input the analyzed text data into the AI and detect instructions. The execution unit can input the detected instructions into the AI and perform actions.
[0030] The monitoring unit continuously monitors audio. For example, it monitors audio in real time and constantly captures user speech. Specifically, the monitoring unit uses high-sensitivity microphones to collect ambient sound and noise cancellation technology to remove environmental noise. This allows for clear capture of user speech. The monitoring unit can also collect audio data by performing periodic sampling. For example, the monitoring unit samples audio data every second and sends it to the analysis unit. The sampled audio data is efficiently transmitted using compression technology, minimizing the amount of data. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can optimize the audio signal using adaptive filtering technology to maintain the quality of the audio data. This allows the monitoring unit to consistently collect and provide high-quality audio data to the analysis unit. The monitoring unit can also monitor audio data in real time using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input audio data into AI to detect specific speech patterns and keywords. This allows for rapid capture of user speech and transmission to the analysis unit. The monitoring unit can also implement sound source localization technology using multiple microphones to pinpoint the user's location. This allows for prioritizing monitoring of a specific user's messages, even when multiple users are speaking simultaneously.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the audio monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, the analysis unit converts audio data into text data using speech recognition technology. Specifically, the analysis unit uses a deep learning-based speech recognition model to achieve highly accurate speech recognition. The speech recognition model is pre-trained using a large amount of audio data and can handle various accents and speaking styles. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the audio data using natural language processing technology. For example, the analysis unit converts audio data into text data and then analyzes that text data to extract instructions. Natural language processing techniques include tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and dependency analysis, which are combined to understand the meaning of the audio data. The analysis unit can also analyze audio data using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input audio data into AI for speech recognition and natural language processing. The AI can understand the context of the audio data and accurately grasp the user's intent. Furthermore, based on the analysis results of the audio data, the analysis unit can infer the intent of the user's statements and generate appropriate responses. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze user statements and improve the overall system response performance.
[0032] The detection unit detects instructions for the voice assistant from the content analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the detection unit detects instructions by detecting specific keywords. Specifically, the detection unit matches the analyzed text data with a pre-set keyword list and detects matching keywords. The detection unit can also perform contextual analysis to understand the intent of the instructions. For example, the detection unit detects the instruction "set a timer for 3 minutes" and starts the timer. Contextual analysis includes techniques that use natural language processing to understand the meaning of text data and accurately grasp the user's intent. The detection unit can also analyze the analyzed text data using AI to detect instructions. For example, the detection unit can input the analyzed text data into the AI to understand the intent of the instructions. The AI can infer the user's intent based on past data and the user's speech history and detect appropriate instructions. Furthermore, if multiple instructions are detected simultaneously, the detection unit can set priorities and execute the most important instruction first. This allows the detection unit to accurately and quickly detect instructions from user speech and improve the overall response performance of the system.
[0033] The execution unit performs actions based on instructions detected by the detection unit. For example, the execution unit can operate home appliances. Specifically, it can work with smart home devices to turn lights on and off, adjust air conditioner temperatures, change TV channels, and so on. The execution unit can also provide information. For example, it can start a timer and sound an alarm after 3 minutes. Furthermore, based on user instructions, the execution unit can provide information such as weather forecasts, news broadcasts, and calendar schedule checks. The execution unit can also analyze detected instructions using AI and perform the optimal action. For example, the execution unit can input detected instructions into the AI and perform the action. The AI can recommend and perform the optimal action based on past data and user preferences. Furthermore, the execution unit can perform multiple actions simultaneously. For example, if a user instructs, "Turn off the lights and turn on the air conditioner," the execution unit can simultaneously turn off the lights and turn on the air conditioner. This allows the execution unit to perform actions quickly and accurately based on user instructions, improving the overall convenience of the system.
[0034] The tone analysis unit can analyze the tone and context of the user's voice. For example, the tone analysis unit can analyze the pitch and volume of the voice. For instance, the tone analysis unit can analyze the tone of the user's voice and detect changes in emotion. The tone analysis unit can also analyze the content of preceding and succeeding statements in order to analyze context. For example, the tone analysis unit can analyze the context before and after the user's statement to understand the intent of the statement. Furthermore, the tone analysis unit can also analyze related topics. For example, the tone analysis unit can analyze keywords used in the user's statement and identify related topics. As a result, by analyzing the tone and context of the user's voice, the tone analysis unit can enable the voice assistant to understand the user's intent more accurately. Some or all of the above processing in the tone analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tone analysis unit can input voice data into AI to analyze the pitch and volume of the voice.
[0035] The emergency response unit can respond quickly in emergencies. For example, the emergency response unit can detect emergencies by detecting specific keywords. For example, the emergency response unit can detect the keyword "help" and respond quickly. The emergency response unit can also analyze the tone of voice to determine the degree of urgency. For example, if the tone of the user's voice is raised, the emergency response unit will determine it is an emergency and respond quickly. Furthermore, the emergency response unit can analyze the context to understand the intent of the emergency. For example, the emergency response unit can analyze the context before and after the user's statement to identify the intent of the emergency.

The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314.

[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, analysis unit, detection unit, execution unit, tone analysis unit, and emergency response unit, is implemented in at least one of the following: the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit constantly monitors voice using the microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0165] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0166] 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.
[0167] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0168] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0169] 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.
[0170] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0171] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0172] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0173] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0174] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0175] 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.
[0176] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0177] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0178] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0179] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0180] 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.
[0181] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, analysis unit, detection unit, execution unit, tone analysis unit, and emergency response unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit constantly monitors voice using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes voice data using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The detection unit detects instructions from the analyzed content, and the execution unit performs actions based on the detected instructions. The tone analysis unit analyzes the tone of the user's voice using the microphone 238 of the robot 414, and the emergency response unit responds quickly in emergencies. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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."
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
