For example, the smartphone advice system performs an MBTI (personality test) during initial setup to understand the user's personality. Next, the generating AI provides appropriate advice and consultation based on the user's personality. This advice and consultation is tailored to the user's personality and is easy for the user to understand. Furthermore, the smartphone advice system can also handle household budget management, dieting, and health management. For example, in household budget management, it analyzes the user's income and expenses and proposes the optimal saving method. In dieting and health management, it provides appropriate advice based on the user's records of meals and exercise. First, an MBTI (personality test) is performed during initial setup. At this time, the user diagnoses their personality type by answering a series of questions. For example, questions include whether the user is extroverted or introverted, and whether they are emotional or logical. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the input personality assessment results and provides advice and consultation based on the user's personality. For example, it provides proactive advice to extroverted users and cautious advice to introverted users. In this way, user-friendly advice and consultation are realized. Furthermore, the smartphone advice system can also handle household budget management, diet management, and health management. For example, in household budget management, it links the user's bank account and credit card information and automatically records income and expenses. The generating AI analyzes this information and proposes the best way to save money. For example, it provides specific advice on how to reduce unnecessary spending. In addition, in diet and health management, it links the user's records of meals and exercise. The generating AI analyzes this information and provides appropriate advice. For example, it proposes a balanced meal menu and an effective exercise plan. In this way, it supports the user's health management.This mechanism allows the smartphone advice system to understand the user's personality and provide advice and consultation accordingly. It can also handle household budget management, dieting, and health management. This enables users to lead more fulfilling lives. In short, the smartphone advice system understands the user's personality and provides appropriate advice and consultation.

[0029] The smartphone advice system according to this embodiment comprises a diagnostic unit, an advice unit, and a management unit. The diagnostic unit diagnoses the user's personality. The diagnostic unit diagnoses the user's personality using, for example, MBTI (personality test). The diagnostic unit diagnoses the personality type when the user answers a series of questions. For example, questions include whether the user is extroverted or introverted, and whether they are emotional or logical. The diagnostic unit inputs this information into a generating AI and analyzes it. The advice unit provides advice based on the personality diagnosed by the diagnostic unit. For example, the advice unit provides proactive advice to extroverted users and cautious advice to introverted users. The advice unit uses a generating AI to provide advice tailored to the user's personality. For example, the generating AI generates friendly advice based on the user's personality.

As a result, the smartphone advice system according to this embodiment can understand the user's personality and provide appropriate advice and consultation. Some or all of the above processing in the management department may be performed using generative AI or not. For example, the management department can input the user's income and expense data into the generative AI and have the generative AI propose the optimal way to save money.

[0030] The diagnostic unit diagnoses the user's personality. For example, the diagnostic unit uses the MBTI (a personality assessment tool) to diagnose the user's personality. Specifically, the diagnostic unit presents the user with a series of questions and diagnoses their personality type based on their answers. These questions include items such as whether the user is extroverted or introverted, feeling or logical, and planning or perceptive. These questions are designed to gain a detailed understanding of the user's behavior and thought patterns, and the answers are input into a generative AI. The generative AI analyzes these answers to identify the user's personality type. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's answers and classifies personality types using statistical models. For example, the generative AI analyzes the user's response patterns to determine whether they are more extroverted or introverted. It also evaluates whether they tend to have more emotional responses or more logical judgments. This allows the diagnostic unit to diagnose the user's personality with high accuracy and understand individual characteristics in detail. Furthermore, the diagnostic unit can refer to past diagnostic results and data from other users to perform even more accurate diagnoses. For example, by comparing data from users with the same personality type, specific tendencies and patterns can be identified, improving the reliability of the diagnostic results. This allows the diagnostic unit to accurately diagnose a user's personality and use that information to provide subsequent advice and management.

[0099] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0100] Step 1: The diagnostic unit diagnoses the user's personality. The diagnostic unit diagnoses the user's personality using, for example, MBTI (a personality assessment). The user answers a series of questions to determine their personality type. These questions may include, for example, whether they are extroverted or introverted, feeling or logical, etc. The diagnostic unit inputs this information into a generating AI for analysis. Step 2: The advice unit provides advice based on the personality diagnosed by the diagnostic unit. For example, the advice unit provides proactive advice to extroverted users and cautious advice to introverted users. Generative AI is used to provide advice tailored to the user's personality. For example, the generative AI generates friendly advice based on the user's personality. Step 3: The Management Department manages household finances and health based on the advice provided by the Advice Department. For example, in household finance management, the Management Department analyzes the user's income and expenses and proposes optimal saving methods. Using generative AI, it analyzes the user's income and expenses and provides specific advice to reduce unnecessary spending. In health management, it provides appropriate advice based on the user's records of meals and exercise. Using generative AI, it proposes balanced meal menus and effective exercise plans.

The management unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and performs household finance management and health management. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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."

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.
