For example, questions with a low correct answer rate are judged to be too difficult and adjusted to an appropriate level. Questions with long answer times can also be adjusted considering their complexity. This allows the adjustment unit to appropriately adjust the difficulty level of the test questions and provide questions that match students' understanding. Furthermore, the adjustment unit can also adjust the overall difficulty level considering the balance of the test questions. For example, it can adjust the difficulty level of each question to maintain balance in the overall test, ensuring that the difficulty level of the test is not uneven. The adjustment unit can also readjust the difficulty level of the test questions based on feedback from teachers and instructors. This allows the adjustment unit to appropriately adjust the difficulty level of the test questions and accurately assess students' understanding. The adjustment unit centrally manages the adjusted test questions and can collaborate with other departments as needed. This allows the adjustment unit to efficiently and effectively adjust the difficulty level of the test questions and improve the overall system performance.

Furthermore, the answer generation unit can generate detailed example answers that include the reasoning and explanations for the answers. This makes exam preparation even more efficient for teachers and instructors, as they are provided not only with exam questions but also with example answers.
[0098] The exam question creation system may also include a frequency adjustment unit that adjusts the frequency of questions asked. The frequency adjustment unit analyzes the frequency of past exam questions and adjusts them to prevent certain questions from appearing excessively. For example, the frequency adjustment unit analyzes exam questions from the past five years and lists the most frequently asked questions. Furthermore, the frequency adjustment unit can analyze the frequency of questions for each subject and provide a balanced set of questions. In addition, the frequency adjustment unit can prioritize the collection of frequently asked questions to balance the exam questions. This allows for the prioritization of high-frequency questions by analyzing past question frequencies.
[0099] The test question creation system may also include a sequence adjustment unit that adjusts the order in which the questions are presented. The sequence adjustment unit adjusts the order in which the generated test questions are presented, reducing the burden on the test-taker. For example, the sequence adjustment unit can adjust the order from easy questions to difficult questions. It can also present questions in a balanced order to maintain the test-taker's concentration. Furthermore, the sequence adjustment unit can adjust the order of questions based on a specific theme. This reduces the burden on the test-taker and enables the implementation of an effective examination.
[0100] The test question creation system may further include a question time estimation unit that estimates the time required to answer each question. The question time estimation unit estimates an appropriate time for each generated test question. For example, the unit can estimate the time based on the difficulty and complexity of the question. It can also estimate the time based on past test data. Furthermore, the unit can adjust the time according to the test-taker's answering speed. This ensures that test-takers are given an appropriate time to answer each question and guarantees fairness in the examination.
[0101] The exam question creation system may further include an answer method provider unit that provides methods for answering the questions. This unit provides appropriate answer methods for the generated exam questions. For example, it can provide methods for selecting the correct option in multiple-choice questions. It can also provide effective ways of writing answers to essay questions. Furthermore, it can provide the knowledge and skills necessary to answer the questions. This allows test-takers to learn appropriate answer methods and prepare effectively for the exam.
[0102] The test question creation system may further include an emotion adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the difficulty level of the questions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the emotion adjustment unit may provide easy questions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the emotion adjustment unit may provide difficult questions. For example, if the user is focused, the emotion adjustment unit may provide questions of balanced difficulty. This allows for the provision of more appropriate questions by adjusting the difficulty level based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion engine or generative AI, etc.
[0103] The exam question creation system may further include an emotion order adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the order in which questions are presented based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the emotion order adjustment unit will present easier questions first. If the user is relaxed, the emotion order adjustment unit will present more difficult questions first. If the user is focused, the emotion order adjustment unit will present questions in a balanced order. This allows for the provision of questions in a more appropriate order by adjusting the order based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion engine or generative AI, etc.
[0104] The test question creation system may further include an emotion delivery unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the way questions are presented based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the emotion delivery unit might present the questions with a simple interface. If the user is relaxed, for example, the emotion delivery unit might present the questions with an interface that includes detailed explanations. If the user is focused, for example, the emotion delivery unit might present the questions with a balanced interface. This allows for the presentation of questions in a more appropriate way by adjusting the method of presentation based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion engine or generative AI, for example.
[0105] The test question creation system may further include an emotion format adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the question format based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the emotion format adjustment unit may provide easy questions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the emotion format adjustment unit may provide difficult questions. For example, if the user is focused, the emotion format adjustment unit may provide balanced questions. This allows for the provision of more appropriate questions by adjusting the question format based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion engine or generative AI, etc.
[0106] The test question creation system may further include an emotion response time adjustment unit that estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the response time based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the emotion response time adjustment unit will extend the response time. For example, if the user is relaxed, the emotion response time adjustment unit will provide a standard response time. For example, if the user is focused, the emotion response time adjustment unit will provide a shorter response time. In this way, by adjusting the response time based on the user's emotions, a more appropriate response time can be provided. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion engine or generative AI, etc.
[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0108] Step 1: The data collection unit gathers the information necessary to create the exam questions. For example, it retrieves information such as past exam questions and correct answer rates from a database and calculates the correct answer rate. It also collects feedback from teachers and instructors and incorporates evaluations and areas for improvement of the exam questions into the creation of the next exam questions. Step 2: The generation unit generates exam questions based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, it uses a generation AI to specify subjects and question formats and generates questions of appropriate difficulty. It also extracts questions based on the correct answer rate of past questions, prioritizing questions with low correct answer rates to generate more difficult questions. Step 3: The adjustment unit adjusts the difficulty level of the test questions generated by the generation unit. For example, it may use AI to adjust the difficulty level based on the correct answer rate, or it may adjust the difficulty level considering the complexity of the questions and the time allotted for answering. Step 4: The provisioning department provides the exam questions, which have been adjusted by the adjustment department, to teachers and instructors. For example, the generated exam questions may be provided through an online platform or in printed form.

[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, generation unit, adjustment unit, and provision unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 to collect information such as past exam questions and correct answer rates, and the control unit 46A collects feedback from teachers and instructors. The generation unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and generates exam questions using a generation AI based on the collected information. The adjustment unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and adjusts the difficulty level of the generated exam questions. The provision unit is implemented, for example, in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides the generated exam questions to teachers and instructors through an online platform. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.

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.
