In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports efficient, personalized studying by combining the child's own will with the results of data analysis. This learning support system reads the child's completed tests and homework as photos, and the AI analyzes them, visualizing the child's strengths and weaknesses from the correct and incorrect answer data. Furthermore, it provides advice to further develop strengths and advice to overcome weaknesses. At this time, the child's own will is also taken into consideration, and an efficient study method tailored to the individual is proposed. For example, the learning support system reads the child's completed tests and homework as photos. In this case, a smartphone or tablet is used to take a picture of the test or homework. For example, a child takes a picture of a math problem they have solved with a smartphone and inputs the image data into the system. Next, the learning support system's AI analyzes the read data. The AI uses image recognition technology to analyze the answers to the tests and homework and extracts correct and incorrect answer data. For example, it determines whether the answer to a math problem is correct and generates correct and incorrect answer data. Furthermore, the learning support system uses AI to visualize strengths and weaknesses based on correct and incorrect answer data. For example, if a child gets many math problems right, that area will be displayed as a strength. Conversely, if they get many problems wrong, that area will be displayed as a weakness. Next, the learning support system provides advice to further develop strengths and overcome weaknesses. For example, it suggests solving more difficult problems in strengths and starting with basic problems in weaknesses. Finally, the learning support system takes the child's wishes into consideration and suggests efficient study methods tailored to each individual. For example, if a child wants to focus on a particular subject, it will prioritize providing advice related to that subject. In this way, it realizes learning support that is tailored to each child. As a result, the learning support system can support efficient studying tailored to each individual by combining the child's wishes with the results of data analysis.
[0029] The learning support system according to this embodiment comprises a reading unit, an analysis unit, a visualization unit, a presentation unit, and a decision-making unit. The reading unit reads test and homework answers as photographs. The reading unit takes pictures of tests and homework using a device such as a smartphone or tablet. For example, the reading unit takes a picture of a math problem solved by a child with a smartphone and inputs the image data into the system. The analysis unit analyzes the data read by the reading unit. The analysis unit analyzes the test and homework answers using image recognition technology, for example, and extracts correct and incorrect answer data. For example, the analysis unit determines whether the answer to a math problem is correct and generates correct and incorrect answer data. The visualization unit visualizes the strengths and weaknesses of the student from the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the visualization unit visualizes the strengths and weaknesses of the student from the correct and incorrect answer data. For example, if a child has many correct answers in math problems, the visualization unit displays that area as a strength. On the other hand, if a child has many incorrect answers, that area is displayed as a weakness. The presentation unit provides advice based on the strengths and weaknesses visualized by the visualization unit. For example, the presentation unit suggests solving more difficult problems in areas of strength and starting with basic problems in areas of weakness. The intention consideration unit takes into account the child's wishes based on the advice provided by the presentation unit. For example, if the child wishes to focus on a particular area, the intention consideration unit prioritizes providing advice related to that area. As a result, the learning support system according to this embodiment can support efficient, personalized studying by combining the child's wishes with the results of data analysis.
[0030] The reading unit reads test and homework answers from photographs. The reading unit uses devices such as smartphones and tablets to take pictures of tests and homework. Specifically, it uses the smartphone's camera function to photograph the child's completed math problems or homework answer sheets, and inputs the image data into the system. The captured images are automatically adjusted for resolution, brightness, and contrast, and imported into the system in an optimal state. Furthermore, the reading unit can read multiple images at once and has a function to automatically combine consecutively taken images into a single data file. This allows for efficient reading of test and homework answers spanning multiple pages. The reading unit also performs pre-processing to accurately recognize handwritten characters and shapes, and performs image noise reduction and distortion correction. This allows the reading unit to accurately and quickly import test and homework answers into the system, enabling smooth data processing by the subsequent analysis unit.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data read by the reading unit. For example, the analysis unit uses image recognition technology to analyze test and homework answers and extracts correct and incorrect data. Specifically, it uses OCR (optical character recognition) technology to convert handwritten characters into digital data and extracts the content of the answers to the questions as text data. Furthermore, it uses AI to analyze the extracted text data and determine whether the answers to the questions are correct or incorrect. For example, for mathematics problems, it analyzes the mathematical formulas and verifies the calculation results to determine whether the answer is correct or incorrect. The analysis unit also uses natural language processing technology to analyze word problems and written answers and provides appropriate evaluations. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit records the correct answer rate and the trend of incorrect answers for each question in a database, making it available for use in the subsequent visualization and presentation units. In addition, the analysis unit has a function to evaluate learning progress and the degree of improvement in performance by comparing it with past data. This allows the analysis unit to perform accurate and detailed data analysis and enhance the overall effectiveness of the learning support system.
[0032] The visualization unit visualizes strengths and weaknesses based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it displays the correct and incorrect answer rates for each subject area in graphs and charts, based on correct and incorrect answer data. For example, it uses bar graphs and pie charts to allow users to quickly grasp areas where a child excels and areas where they struggle. The visualization unit also displays changes in performance over time using line graphs, allowing users to visually check their learning progress. Furthermore, the visualization unit displays detailed analysis results for each individual problem, specifically showing which problems were answered incorrectly and which parts were not understood. This allows children, parents, and teachers to intuitively understand learning outcomes and challenges, and to create effective learning plans. The visualization unit also prioritizes user-friendliness, employing a simple and easy-to-understand design. As a result, the visualization unit effectively visualizes analysis results, making it easy for users of the learning support system to understand and utilize the information.
[0033] The presentation unit provides advice based on the strengths and weaknesses visualized by the visualization unit. Specifically, it suggests solving more difficult problems in areas of strength and starting with basic problems in areas of weakness. For example, in mathematics, if a student frequently gets certain answers right, it will present applied problems and advanced tasks and provide advice to deepen their understanding. On the other hand, if a student frequently makes mistakes, it will encourage reviewing basic concepts and formulas and guide them to progress step by step from the basics. The presentation unit presents this advice as a concrete learning plan to support daily learning. Furthermore, to increase motivation, the presentation unit introduces achievement goals and reward systems to make learning enjoyable for children. For example, it provides a system where students can earn badges or points when they achieve certain goals, visualizing their learning progress. This allows the presentation unit to provide specific and effective advice tailored to each individual learner, improving the quality of their learning.
[0034] The Intention-Consideration Unit takes the child's wishes into account based on the advice provided by the Presentation Unit. Specifically, if a child wishes to focus on a particular subject, it prioritizes providing advice related to that subject. For example, if a child is interested in geometry in mathematics, it will focus on presenting geometry-related problems and assignments to maintain their interest. Also, if a child wants to overcome a weak area, it will prioritize providing basic problems and review assignments in that area. The Intention-Consideration Unit proposes flexible learning plans and provides support tailored to individual needs in order to maximize the child's motivation and interest in learning. Furthermore, the Intention-Consideration Unit collects feedback from the child and improves and adjusts the learning plan. For example, if a child feels they have deepened their understanding of a particular problem, they will proceed with learning in that area, while if their understanding is insufficient, they will be instructed to review the basics again. In this way, the Intention-Consideration Unit can combine the child's wishes with the results of data analysis to support personalized and efficient learning.
[0035] The reading unit can take pictures of tests and homework using devices such as smartphones and tablets. For example, the reading unit can easily take pictures of tests and homework using a smartphone or tablet.

For example, the reading unit can input image data taken with a smartphone into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis of the image data.
[0036] The analysis unit can analyze test and homework answers using image recognition technology and extract correct and incorrect data. For example, the analysis unit can determine whether an answer to a math problem is correct and generate correct and incorrect data. The analysis unit can also determine whether an answer to an English problem is correct and generate correct and incorrect data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can determine whether an answer to a science problem is correct and generate correct and incorrect data. In this way, test and homework answers can be accurately analyzed using image recognition technology. Image recognition technology includes, but is not limited to, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and SVM (Support Vector Machine). Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input image data read by the reading unit into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of the image data.
[0037] The visualization unit can visualize strengths and weaknesses based on correct and incorrect answer data. For example, if a child gets many correct answers in math problems, the visualization unit will display that area as a strength. Conversely, if they get many incorrect answers, that area will be displayed as a weakness. The visualization unit can also display English problems as a strength if the child gets many correct answers, and conversely, if they get many incorrect answers, that area will be displayed as a weakness. Furthermore, the visualization unit can also display science problems as a strength if the child gets many correct answers, and conversely, if they get many incorrect answers, that area will be displayed as a weakness. This allows for a visual understanding of strengths and weaknesses. Visualization methods include, but are not limited to, graph displays and heatmap displays.

For example, the presentation can suggest solving more difficult applied problems in areas of strength, while starting with basic problems in areas of weakness. The presentation can also suggest solving more difficult advanced problems in areas of strength, while starting with basic problems in areas of weakness.

[0039] The intention-considering unit can prioritize providing advice related to a specific field of study if the child wishes to focus on that field. For example, if the child wishes to focus on mathematics, the intention-considering unit will prioritize providing advice related to mathematics. Similarly, if the child wishes to focus on English, the intention-considering unit can prioritize providing advice related to English. Furthermore, if the child wishes to focus on science, the intention-considering unit can prioritize providing advice related to science. This enables efficient learning support that takes the child's wishes into account. Specific fields include, but are not limited to, mathematics, science, and history. Some or all of the processing described above in the intention-considering unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not. For example, the intention-considering unit can input data about the child's desired fields into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate advice.
[0040] The image reading unit can automatically adjust the light intensity and angle of the shooting environment during reading to acquire the optimal image. For example, the image reading unit can use AI to detect the ambient light intensity and take a picture at the optimal brightness. For example, the image reading unit can use AI to automatically adjust the camera angle and take a picture from the optimal viewpoint.

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.

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.

[0159] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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 robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.

[0170] 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.

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.
[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.

[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).

[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 reading unit, analysis unit, visualization unit, presentation unit, and intention consideration unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reading unit uses the camera 42 of the robot 414 to take pictures of tests and homework and inputs the image data into the system. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses image recognition technology to analyze the answers to tests and homework and extract correct and incorrect data. The visualization unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and visualizes the child's strengths and weaknesses from the correct and incorrect data. The presentation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and presents advice based on the child's strengths and weaknesses. The intention consideration unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and prioritizes presenting advice while taking into account the child's own intentions. 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.
[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.
