[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.

[0028] (Example of form 1) An intellectual property mining system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that unearths intellectual property hidden within a company and determines its feasibility as a patent or utility model. The intellectual property mining system uses multimodal generative AI to cross-sectionally unearth and analyze groups of information that can be established as intellectual property from all kinds of materials scattered within the company. Next, it determines the feasibility of obtaining patents, utility models, etc., for the unearthed groups of information and proposes an application to the Japan Patent Office. This system makes it possible to asset out intellectual property hidden within a company, maximize corporate value, and enhance technological superiority over competitors. For example, the intellectual property mining system collects all kinds of materials scattered within the company. For example, it collects data such as text, images, and audio from shared folders, emails, chats, etc. At this stage, it also performs preprocessing such as data normalization and deduplication to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis. Next, the intellectual property mining system analyzes the collected data in detail. It uses advanced natural language processing to analyze text-based information in detail. The system utilizes advanced language comprehension capabilities, including contextual understanding, interpretation of technical terms, and inference of potential value, to explore the potential of intellectual property. Furthermore, the intellectual property mining system builds a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system that integrates specialized knowledge to identify and evaluate intellectual property. This system constantly learns the latest patent information and market trends, providing highly accurate evaluations. Finally, the intellectual property mining system uses AI to understand a company's management strategy and propose ways to utilize intellectual property based on that understanding. Machine learning models learn from past success stories and market trends to generate strategies optimized for each company. This allows intellectual property hidden within a company to be turned into assets, maximizing corporate value and enhancing technological superiority over competitors. For example, in the case of manufacturing company A, after system implementation, the AI analyzed experimental data from 10 years ago and discovered the potential of a new material that aligns with current sustainability trends. This material, which was not noticed at the time, possessed properties that comply with current environmental regulations. The AI evaluated the market value of the new material, generated detailed proposals for patenting and product development, and the management decided to launch a new business. With the support of AI, we were able to quickly file a patent application and successfully launch a new product into the market one year later.This allows the intellectual property mining system to uncover hidden intellectual property within a company, determine its potential for patent or utility model registration, and maximize corporate value.
[0029] The intellectual property mining system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a judgment unit, a proposal unit, and a utilization proposal unit. The collection unit collects internal company materials. The collection unit can collect data such as text, images, and audio from sources such as shared folders, emails, and chats.

The analysis unit analyzes the materials collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected data in detail and perform contextual understanding and interpretation of technical terms. For example, the analysis unit analyzes text data using natural language processing technology. The analysis unit can also interpret technical terms using machine learning models.

It can interpret specialized terminology in research reports and understand their meaning using machine learning models. It can infer potential value from meeting records using data mining techniques. The judgment unit determines the potential of intellectual property based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the judgment unit can evaluate the likelihood of obtaining a patent or utility model based on the analysis results. The judgment unit can determine the potential of intellectual property based on criteria such as novelty, inventiveness, and industrial applicability. The judgment unit can also evaluate the value of intellectual property by considering patent information and market trends. Furthermore, the judgment unit can identify and evaluate intellectual property using a RAG system that integrates specialized knowledge. For example, the judgment unit can evaluate the content of technical documents based on the novelty criterion and determine the likelihood of obtaining a patent. It can evaluate the content of research reports based on the inventiveness criterion and determine the likelihood of obtaining a utility model. It can evaluate the content of meeting records based on the industrial applicability criterion and determine the value of intellectual property.The Proposal Department proposes applications to the Japan Patent Office based on the results determined by the Judgment Department.

The Utilization Proposal Department makes proposals for license agreements. Furthermore, the Utilization Proposal Department can also propose joint research. Furthermore, the Utilization Proposal Department can also propose commercialization. For example, the Utilization Proposal Department makes proposals for license agreements and explains the contract terms. It makes proposals for joint research and explains the research content and cooperation system. We propose product development and explain the product development plan and market launch method. This allows the intellectual property mining system, according to the embodiment, to uncover hidden intellectual property within a company, determine its potential for patent or utility model registration, and maximize corporate value.
[0030] The data collection department collects internal company documents. For example, it can collect data such as text, images, and audio from shared folders, emails, and chats. Specifically, when collecting technical documents from shared folders, it automatically scans PDF and Word documents within the folder and extracts relevant technical information. When collecting research reports from email attachments, it accesses the email server, filters based on specific keywords and senders, and extracts the necessary files.

For example, the data collection department can collect PDF files from shared folders and save them to a database. It can collect JPEG images from email attachments and save them to an image database. It can collect MP3 audio files from chat logs and save them to an audio database. This allows the data collection department to efficiently gather information from diverse data sources and comprehensively understand the company's intellectual property information. Furthermore, the data collection department can centrally manage the collected data and collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data is stored on a cloud server, making it accessible to the analysis and decision-making units. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes the materials collected by the collection department.

For instance, it can analyze the content of technical documents and extract important keywords. This can utilize topic modeling and text classification algorithms. It can also interpret technical terms using machine learning models. For example, it can use pre-trained models to interpret technical terms in research reports and understand their meaning. Furthermore, it can infer potential value using data mining techniques. For example, it can use association rule mining and clustering techniques to infer potential value from meeting records. This allows the analysis department to analyze collected data quickly and accurately, gaining a deep understanding of intellectual property information within the company. Additionally, the analysis department can leverage historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can predict trends in specific technological fields based on past technical documents and research reports, suggesting future research and development directions. 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 grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The Judgment Unit determines the potential of intellectual property based on the results of the analysis conducted by the Analysis Unit. For example, the Judgment Unit can evaluate the likelihood of obtaining a patent or utility model based on the analysis results. Specifically, it determines the potential of intellectual property based on criteria such as novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. For example, it evaluates the content of a technical document based on the novelty criterion to determine the likelihood of obtaining a patent. It evaluates the content of a research report based on the inventive step criterion to determine the likelihood of obtaining a utility model. It evaluates the content of a meeting record based on the industrial applicability criterion to determine the value of the intellectual property. The Judgment Unit can also evaluate the value of intellectual property by considering patent information and market trends. For example, it can refer to patent databases, investigate patent information for similar technologies, and understand the trends of competitors. Furthermore, the Judgment Unit can identify and evaluate intellectual property using a RAG system that integrates specialized knowledge. The RAG system automatically evaluates the value of intellectual property and determines the priority of patent applications based on past patent information and market data. This allows the Judgment Unit to evaluate the potential of intellectual property with high accuracy and optimize the company's intellectual property strategy. Furthermore, based on the evaluation results, the decision-making unit can formulate a patent application strategy and make specific suggestions to strengthen the company's intellectual property portfolio. For example, it can determine the priority of patent applications in specific technological fields and optimize resource allocation. The decision-making unit can also conduct a risk assessment of patent applications and take measures to minimize those risks. In this way, the decision-making unit can effectively support the company's intellectual property strategy and maximize the value of its intellectual property.
[0033] The Proposal Department proposes applications to the Japan Patent Office (JPO) based on the decisions made by the Judgment Department.

[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. 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.).
[0173] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. 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.
[0174] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. 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.
[0175] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0176] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, judgment unit, proposal unit, and utilization proposal unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and collects data from shared folders, emails, chats, etc. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected data in detail. The judgment unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and evaluates the feasibility of obtaining a patent or utility model. The proposal unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and proposes an application to the Japan Patent Office. The utilization proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes a method for utilizing intellectual property. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples 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.
[0186] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0187] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0188] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0189] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0190] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0191] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0192] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.
[0193] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
