[0028] (Example of form 1) The recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that recommends the use of electronic payment at the user's current location by utilizing payment history data and behavioral data. This recommendation system aims to create a sense of value for the user and increase sales for participating merchants. First, the recommendation system identifies the user's current location and collects payment history data and behavioral data. Next, the recommendation system analyzes this data and identifies coupon-issuing stores near the current location based on information about places the user has visited and stores where they have made payments in the past. Finally, the recommendation system recommends the most suitable coupon-issuing participating merchant to the user. For example, if the recommendation system has visited a cafe near the current location and has used electronic payment at that cafe in the past, it will recommend a coupon for that cafe. The recommendation system also considers information about other cafes and restaurants the user has visited in the past to provide the most suitable coupon for the user. Through this mechanism, users can not only use advantageous coupons, but also increase sales for participating merchants. Furthermore, by integrating user behavior data and payment history data, the recommendation system can provide more accurate recommendations. This allows the recommendation system to recommend appropriate coupons based on the user's current location.
[0029] The recommendation system according to this embodiment comprises a identification unit, a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a recommendation unit. The identification unit identifies the user's current location. The identification unit identifies the user's current location, for example, using GPS data. The identification unit can also identify the current location using Wi-Fi location information. Furthermore, the identification unit can also identify the current location using Bluetooth® beacons. For example, the identification unit acquires GPS data and identifies the user's current location. When using Wi-Fi location information, the identification unit collects information on surrounding Wi-Fi access points and identifies the location information. When using Bluetooth beacons, the identification unit identifies the location information based on the signal strength of the beacon. The collection unit collects payment history data and behavioral data. The collection unit acquires, for example, the user's payment history data. Behavioral data includes, for example, the user's travel history and places visited. The collection unit collects this data and provides it to the analysis unit. For example, the collection unit acquires the user's payment history data and collects information such as the date and time of purchase, purchased items, and purchase amount. Regarding behavioral data, the system collects user movement history and visited locations, and obtains information such as time spent at each location. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit can analyze the data using, for example, data mining techniques. It can also analyze the data using statistical analysis techniques. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the data using machine learning algorithms. For example, the analysis unit uses data mining techniques to analyze user behavior patterns. When using statistical analysis techniques, the analysis unit analyzes the distribution and correlation of the data. When using machine learning algorithms, the analysis unit learns from the data and builds a predictive model. The recommendation unit recommends coupons based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The recommendation unit can, for example, identify coupon-issuing stores near the user's current location. The recommendation unit can also recommend the most suitable coupon to the user. For example, based on the analysis results, the recommendation unit recommends coupons for cafes the user has visited in the past. Furthermore, the recommendation unit considers the user's past visit history to provide the most suitable coupon.As a result, the recommendation system according to this embodiment can recommend appropriate coupons based on the user's current location.
[0030] The location unit identifies the user's current location. For example, the location unit can use GPS data to identify the user's current location. GPS data calculates position by receiving signals from satellites, resulting in high accuracy outdoors. The location unit can also identify the current location using Wi-Fi location information. Wi-Fi location information uses information from surrounding Wi-Fi access points to determine the location, maintaining relatively high accuracy even indoors. Furthermore, the location unit can also identify the current location using Bluetooth beacons. Bluetooth beacons are a technology that transmits signals within a specific range and determines location based on the signal strength, making them particularly effective for use in commercial facilities and event venues. For example, the location unit acquires GPS data to identify the user's current location. GPS data includes latitude, longitude, and altitude information, allowing for accurate determination of the user's location. When using Wi-Fi location information, the location unit collects information from surrounding Wi-Fi access points to determine location. An algorithm is used to estimate the location based on the MAC address and signal strength of the Wi-Fi access points. When using Bluetooth beacons, the location unit determines location based on the signal strength of the beacon. Since the signal strength of a beacon changes with distance, receiving signals from multiple beacons allows for location determination using the principle of triangulation. This enables the location unit to pinpoint the user's current location with high accuracy and provide necessary location information to other departments.
[0031] The data collection unit collects payment history data and behavioral data. For example, the data collection unit obtains the user's payment history data. This data includes detailed information such as the date and time of purchase, purchased items, purchase amount, and purchase location. This allows for a detailed understanding of the user's purchasing behavior. Behavioral data includes, for example, the user's travel history and visited locations. Travel history shows the route the user took, and visited locations show where the user stayed and for how long. The data collection unit collects this data and provides it to the analysis unit. For example, the data collection unit obtains the user's payment history data and collects information such as the date and time of purchase, purchased items, and purchase amount. This allows for an understanding of what products the user purchased, when they were purchased, and at which stores they were purchased. Regarding behavioral data, the data collection unit collects the user's travel history and visited locations and obtains information such as the length of stay. Travel history is collected using GPS data, Wi-Fi location information, and Bluetooth beacon data, and visited locations are identified based on the time the user stayed at a specific location. This allows the data collection unit to gain a detailed understanding of users' purchasing behavior and movement patterns, thereby improving the quality of the data provided to the analysis unit.
[0032] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the data using data mining techniques. Data mining techniques are used to extract useful patterns and relationships from large amounts of data, revealing user behavior patterns and purchasing trends. The analysis unit can also analyze the data using statistical analysis techniques. Statistical analysis techniques analyze the distribution and correlations of data to quantitatively evaluate user behavior and purchasing trends. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the data using machine learning algorithms. Machine learning algorithms are used to learn from data and build predictive models, predicting future user behavior and purchasing trends. For example, the analysis unit can analyze user behavior patterns using data mining techniques. This can reveal what times of day and where users tend to visit, and what products they tend to purchase. When using statistical analysis techniques, the analysis unit analyzes the distribution and correlations of the data. This can reveal how specific behaviors and purchasing trends relate to other factors. When using machine learning algorithms, the analysis unit learns from the data and builds predictive models. This allows us to predict what actions users will take in the future and what products they will purchase. The analytics unit can then analyze the collected data from multiple perspectives to gain a detailed understanding of user behavior and purchasing trends.
[0033] The recommendation unit recommends coupons based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the recommendation unit identifies coupon-issuing stores near the user's current location. This allows it to provide coupons for stores close to the user's current location. The recommendation unit can also recommend the most suitable coupons to the user. For example, based on the analysis results, the recommendation unit recommends coupons for cafes the user has visited in the past. This allows it to provide coupons that the user is likely to be interested in. Furthermore, the recommendation unit considers the user's past visit history to provide the most suitable coupons. For example, it recommends coupons for stores the user has frequently visited in the past or stores they often visit at specific times of day. This increases the likelihood that the user will use the coupons. The recommendation unit uses AI to learn the user's preferences and behavior patterns and select the most suitable coupons. The AI predicts coupons that the user is likely to be interested in based on the user's past behavior data and purchase history. This allows the recommendation unit to provide highly accurate coupons to users and improve user satisfaction. Furthermore, the recommendation system can continuously optimize coupon recommendations based on real-time updated data. This allows it to quickly respond to changes in user preferences and behavior, and always provide the most suitable coupons.
[0034] The service provider provides coupons. The service provider provides coupons, for example, by email. The service provider can also provide coupons by app notifications. Furthermore, the service provider can provide coupons by SMS. For example, the service provider sends a coupon to the user's email address. When using app notifications, the service provider sends a coupon notification to the user's smartphone. When using SMS, the service provider sends a coupon to the user's mobile phone number. In this way, the service provider can provide coupons to users. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input the method of providing coupons into an AI model, and the AI model can select the optimal method of provision.
[0035] The storage unit stores user behavior data. The storage unit stores behavior data using, for example, cloud storage. Alternatively, the storage unit can also store behavior data using a local database. For example, the storage unit stores user behavior data in cloud storage. When using a local database, the storage unit stores user behavior data in a database on the device. This allows the storage unit to store user behavior data. Some or all of the above processing in the storage unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the storage unit can input the method for storing behavior data into an AI model, and the AI model can select the optimal storage method.
[0036] The data collection unit can collect the user's current location and past behavioral data. For example, the data collection unit can collect the user's current location using GPS data.

[0117] A recommendation system can analyze a user's social media activity and recommend relevant coupons. For example, it can provide relevant coupons based on a user's social media posts. It can also provide relevant coupons based on a user's social media check-in information. Furthermore, it can utilize a user's social media location information to provide the most relevant coupons. In this way, the recommendation system can analyze a user's social media activity and recommend relevant coupons. Some or all of the above processes in the recommendation system may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the recommendation system can input social media activity into an AI model, and the AI model can recommend relevant coupons.
[0118] A recommendation system can estimate a user's emotions and adjust its recommendations based on those emotions. For example, if a user is stressed, it can offer coupons that help them relax. If the user is relaxed, it can offer coupons that help them have fun. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can offer coupons that can be used quickly. In this way, the recommendation system can adjust its recommendations based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the recommendation system may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the recommendation system can input an emotion estimation algorithm into an AI model, and the AI model can adjust the recommendation content based on emotions.
[0119] A recommendation system can analyze a user's past behavioral data and select the optimal recommendation method. For example, it can provide the most suitable coupons based on places the user has frequently visited in the past. It can also predict places a user will visit at specific times of day based on their behavioral patterns and use this information for recommendations. Furthermore, it can analyze a user's past behavioral history and select the most efficient recommendation method. In this way, a recommendation system can analyze a user's past behavioral data and select the optimal recommendation method. Some or all of the above processes in a recommendation system may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, a recommendation system can input past behavioral data into an AI model, which can then select the optimal recommendation method.
[0120] A recommendation system can estimate a user's emotions and adjust the frequency of recommendations based on those emotions. For example, if a user is stressed, the frequency of recommendations can be reduced to lessen the user's burden. Conversely, if a user is relaxed, recommendations can be made at the normal frequency. Furthermore, if a user is in a hurry, the frequency of recommendations can be increased to provide recommendations quickly. In this way, a recommendation system can adjust the frequency of recommendations based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in a recommendation system may be performed using AI, or not. For example, a recommendation system can input an emotion estimation algorithm into an AI model, and the AI model can adjust the frequency of recommendations based on emotions.
[0121] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0122] Step 1: The identification unit identifies the user's current location. The identification unit identifies the current location using, for example, GPS data, Wi-Fi location information, or Bluetooth beacons. Specifically, it acquires GPS data to identify the user's current location. When using Wi-Fi location information, it collects information on surrounding Wi-Fi access points to identify the location. When using Bluetooth beacons, it identifies the location based on the signal strength of the beacons. Step 2: The collection unit collects payment history data and behavioral data. For example, it obtains the user's payment history data and collects information such as the date and time of purchase, purchased items, and purchase amount. For behavioral data, it collects the user's travel history and visited locations and obtains information such as the time spent at each location. Step 3: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the data using, for example, data mining techniques, statistical analysis techniques, and machine learning algorithms. Specifically, it analyzes user behavior patterns using data mining techniques, analyzes data distribution and correlations using statistical analysis techniques, and learns from the data using machine learning algorithms to build a predictive model. Step 4: The recommendation unit recommends coupons based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the recommendation unit identifies coupon-issuing stores near the user's current location and recommends the most suitable coupon to the user. Specifically, based on the analysis results, it recommends coupons for cafes the user has visited in the past and provides the most suitable coupon considering the user's past visit history.

[0171] 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.).
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the identification unit, collection unit, analysis unit, recommendation unit, provision unit, and storage unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the identification unit identifies the user's current location using GPS data, Wi-Fi location information, and Bluetooth beacons from the robot 414. The collection unit collects payment history data and behavioral data via the communication I / F 44 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes the data using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The recommendation unit recommends coupons based on the analysis results using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The provision unit provides coupons via the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The storage unit stores behavioral data in the database 24 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
