Purchase history data can be collected from sources such as the user's online shopping history and loyalty card usage history. The data collection unit can analyze the user's purchasing trends based on this data and provide it to the simulation unit. The simulation unit can then predict market trends and fluctuations based on the provided purchase history data and propose optimal strategies and measures.

[0099] The market simulation system can further estimate user emotions and customize the simulation results based on those emotions. For example, if a user is excited, the simulation results can highlight positive scenarios. If a user is anxious, measures to mitigate risks can be prioritized. If a user is relaxed, the simulation results can emphasize general market trends. By customizing the simulation results according to the user's emotions, more appropriate information can be provided. Emotion estimation is performed, for example, by analyzing the user's facial expressions and voice data. The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions based on this data and provide it to the simulation unit. The simulation unit can then customize the simulation results based on the provided emotion data and provide them to the proposal unit.

[0100] The market simulation system can also perform simulations while taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the system will prioritize collecting data related to that region and perform simulations accordingly. If the user is in a specific country, the system can prioritize market trends related to that country in its simulations. Similarly, if the user is in a specific city, the system can prioritize data related to that city in its simulations. This allows for region-specific simulations by considering the user's geographical location. Geographical location information can be obtained, for example, from the user's smartphone's GPS data or IP address. The data collection unit can analyze the user's location information based on this data and provide it to the simulation unit. The simulation unit can then predict market trends and fluctuations based on the provided location data and propose optimal strategies and measures.

[0101] The market simulation system can further analyze users' social media activity and collect relevant data. For example, it can analyze posts from accounts that users follow and collect relevant data. It can also analyze posts from groups and communities that users participate in and collect relevant data. Furthermore, it can analyze posts that users have shared and collect relevant data. In this way, by analyzing users' social media activity, highly relevant data can be collected. Based on this data, the collection unit can analyze users' social media activity and provide it to the simulation unit. Based on the provided social media data, the simulation unit can predict market trends and fluctuations and propose optimal strategies and measures.

[0102] The market simulation system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way it presents suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is excited, it can present suggestions using positive language. If the user is anxious, it can present suggestions that mitigate risk. If the user is relaxed, it can present suggestions using general language. By adjusting the presentation of suggestions according to the user's emotions, more effective suggestions become possible. Emotion estimation is performed, for example, by analyzing the user's facial expressions and voice data. The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions based on this data and provide it to the suggestion unit. The suggestion unit can then adjust the presentation of suggestions based on the provided emotion data and present them to the user.

[0103] The market simulation system can further consider the user's purchase history when making suggestions. For example, it can suggest new products and services related to the user's past purchases based on data from those products and services. If a user frequently purchases products from a particular brand, the system can suggest new products from that brand. Similarly, if a user frequently purchases products from a specific category, the system can suggest new products related to that category. This allows for more personalized suggestions by considering the user's purchase history. Purchase history data is collected from sources such as the user's online shopping history and loyalty card usage history. The data collection unit can analyze the user's purchasing trends based on this data and provide it to the suggestion unit. The suggestion unit can then make optimal suggestions based on the provided purchase history data and provide them to the user.

[0104] The market simulation system can further estimate user emotions and prioritize suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if a user is excited, positive suggestions will be prioritized. If a user is anxious, suggestions that mitigate risk will be prioritized. If a user is relaxed, general suggestions will be prioritized. This allows for prioritizing more important suggestions based on user emotions. Emotion estimation is performed, for example, by analyzing user facial expressions and voice data. The analysis unit can estimate user emotions based on this data and provide it to the suggestion unit. The suggestion unit can then determine the priority of suggestions based on the provided emotion data and provide them to the user.

[0105] The market simulation system can also make suggestions while considering the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific region, it can suggest products and services related to that region. If the user is in a specific country, it can make suggestions based on market trends related to that country. Also, if the user is in a specific city, it can suggest products and services related to that city. This makes it possible to make region-specific suggestions by considering the user's geographical location. Geographical location information is obtained, for example, from the user's smartphone's GPS data or IP address. The collection unit can analyze the user's location information based on this data and provide it to the suggestion unit. The suggestion unit can make optimal suggestions based on the provided location data and provide them to the user.

[0106] The market simulation system can further estimate user emotions and adjust the simulation criteria based on those estimated emotions. For example, if a user is excited, the simulation can prioritize positive scenarios. If a user is anxious, the simulation can prioritize risk scenarios. If a user is relaxed, the simulation can prioritize general scenarios. By adjusting the simulation criteria according to user emotions, a more appropriate simulation becomes possible. Emotion estimation is performed, for example, by analyzing user facial expressions and voice data. The analysis unit can estimate user emotions based on this data and provide it to the simulation unit. The simulation unit can then adjust the simulation criteria based on the provided emotion data to perform an optimal simulation.

[0107] Market simulation systems can further improve the accuracy of simulations by considering users' purchase history. For example, they can predict relevant market trends based on data of products and services that users have purchased in the past. If a user frequently purchases products from a particular brand, the simulation can focus on trends related to that brand. Similarly, if a user frequently purchases products from a particular category, the simulation can focus on data related to that category. This allows for more accurate simulations by considering users' purchase history. Purchase history data is collected from sources such as users' online shopping history and loyalty card usage history. The data collection unit can analyze user purchasing trends based on this data and provide it to the simulation unit. The simulation unit can then predict market trends and fluctuations based on the provided purchase history data and propose optimal strategies and measures.

The data collection unit can filter data based on specific keywords or hashtags, for example. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes market trends and fluctuations based on the collected data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze market trends and fluctuations using time series analysis or trend analysis. The analysis unit can also use AI to analyze the data and predict what kind of impact it will have. Step 3: The simulation unit performs market simulations based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the simulation unit can simulate a new marketing campaign. Based on the collected data and analysis results, the simulation unit simulates how strategies and measures will respond to market fluctuations. The simulation unit can also perform market simulations using AI. Step 4: The proposal department proposes the optimal strategies and measures based on the simulation results obtained by the simulation department. For example, the proposal department might propose strengthening promotions. The proposal department analyzes the simulation results and proposes the most effective strategies and measures. The proposal department can also use AI to propose the optimal strategies and measures.

The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0151] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0152] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0153] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.).

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, simulation unit, and proposal unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects SNS trends and news using the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the robot 414, and filters the data using the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes market trends and fluctuations based on the collected data. The simulation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and performs market simulations based on the analysis results. The proposal unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and proposes optimal strategies and measures based on the simulation results. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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."

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
