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 call center system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for streamlining customer service in a call center and increasing the complaint resolution rate. This call center system uses AI to learn from current call content and past inquiry history to analyze the customer's emotions, personality, and inquiry tendencies. Next, based on the analysis results, the AI ​​advises on the "summary of the handling process," "requests," "personality," and "best solution direction" when handling an escalation. Based on this advice, the direction of the escalation is determined, and the complaint resolution rate is increased. First, the AI ​​is trained on current call content and past inquiry history. At this time, the AI ​​analyzes the customer's emotions, personality, and inquiry tendencies. For example, it is possible to understand what kind of personality the customer has and what kind of inquiries they frequently make from past call history. This allows for a detailed understanding of the customer's characteristics. Next, based on the analysis results, the AI ​​advises on the "summary of the handling process," "requests," "personality," and "best solution direction" when handling an escalation. For example, it can summarize what kind of complaints the customer has made in the past and what kind of responses were given, and propose the optimal solution for the current complaint. This allows for a quick determination of the direction of the escalation. Furthermore, based on AI advice, the direction of escalation handling is determined, increasing the complaint resolution rate. For example, by having operator crews take specific actions based on the solutions suggested by the AI, customer satisfaction can be improved. This leads to an increased complaint resolution rate and improved efficiency of the call center. This system streamlines customer service in the call center and improves the complaint resolution rate. By suggesting the optimal response method based on the customer characteristics analyzed by the AI, the burden on operator crews is reduced, enabling quick and appropriate responses. For example, by having operator crews take specific actions based on the solutions suggested by the AI, customer satisfaction can be improved. This leads to an increased complaint resolution rate and improved efficiency of the call center. As a result, the call center system can streamline customer service and increase the complaint resolution rate.

[0029] The call center system according to this embodiment comprises an emotion analysis unit, a history analysis unit, and an advice unit. The emotion analysis unit analyzes the content of the current call. The emotion analysis unit estimates the emotions of the customer during the call, for example, using voice analysis technology. The emotion analysis unit can estimate whether the customer is angry, satisfied, or anxious by analyzing, for example, the tone and speed of the voice and the choice of words. The emotion analysis unit can also convert the content of the call into text data using, for example, voice recognition technology, and analyze that text data. The history analysis unit learns from past inquiry history and analyzes the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. The history analysis unit can, for example, store past call history and inquiry content in a database and analyze that data. The history analysis unit can, for example, understand what kind of personality the customer has and what kind of inquiries they frequently make from past call history. The history analysis unit can also model the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies using, for example, a machine learning algorithm. The advice unit provides advice when handling escalations based on the analysis results obtained by the emotion analysis unit and the history analysis unit. The advice unit includes, for example, a response history summary unit that summarizes the response history. The advice unit includes, for example, a request analysis unit that analyzes requests. The advice unit includes, for example, a personality analysis unit that analyzes personality. The advice unit includes, for example, a solution direction proposal unit that suggests the best course of action. As a result, the call center system according to the embodiment can improve the complaint resolution rate by analyzing the current call content and past inquiry history and providing appropriate advice when handling escalations.

[0030] The emotion analysis unit analyzes the current call content. For example, it estimates the customer's emotions during a call using voice analysis technology. Specifically, voice analysis technology extracts features such as tone, speed, pitch, and emphasized words, and estimates emotions based on these features. For example, if the voice tone is high and the speed is fast, it is determined that the customer is likely angry. Conversely, if the voice tone is low and the speed is slow, it is determined that the customer is likely calm or satisfied. Furthermore, the emotion analysis unit can also convert the call content into text data using voice recognition technology and analyze that text data. For the analysis of the text data, natural language processing technology is used to analyze word choice and context to more accurately estimate the customer's emotions. For example, if there are many negative words or strong expressions, it is determined that the customer is likely feeling dissatisfied. The emotion analysis unit provides these analysis results in real time to help operators respond quickly. In this way, the emotion analysis unit can accurately understand the customer's emotions and provide important information for taking appropriate action.

[0031] The history analysis department learns from past inquiry history and analyzes customer personalities and inquiry trends. Specifically, the history analysis department stores past call history and inquiry content in a database and analyzes that data. For example, from past call history, it can understand what kind of personality a customer has and what kinds of inquiries they frequently make. The history analysis department can also model customer personalities and inquiry trends using machine learning algorithms. For example, it can use clustering algorithms to classify customers into multiple groups and understand the characteristics of each group. In addition, the history analysis department can analyze past inquiry content to understand what kinds of problems customers are facing and what kinds of solutions they are seeking. This allows the history analysis department to accurately understand customer personalities and inquiry trends and provide important information for operators to respond appropriately. Furthermore, based on past data, the history analysis department can also predict future inquiry trends and take countermeasures in advance. For example, if there is a tendency for certain inquiries to increase during a particular period, countermeasures such as strengthening operator training in preparation for that period can be taken. In this way, the history analysis department can play an important role in improving the efficiency of the call center and customer satisfaction.

[0032] The Advice Unit provides advice during escalation based on the analysis results obtained by the Emotion Analysis Unit and the History Analysis Unit. Specifically, the Advice Unit includes a Response History Summarization Unit that summarizes the history of the response. The Response History Summarization Unit summarizes past response history, enabling operators to quickly grasp the situation. For example, it concisely summarizes past call content and response results, providing important information relevant to the current situation. The Advice Unit also includes a Request Analysis Unit that analyzes requests. The Request Analysis Unit analyzes customer requests and proposes the most appropriate response. For example, if a customer is seeking information about a specific product, it provides detailed information about that product. Furthermore, the Advice Unit includes a Personality Analysis Unit that analyzes personality. The Personality Analysis Unit analyzes the customer's personality and proposes a response tailored to that personality. For example, if a customer has a cautious personality, it proposes a response that provides detailed explanations and reassures the customer. In addition, the Advice Unit includes a Solution Direction Proposal Unit that proposes the best course of action. The Solution Direction Proposal Unit proposes the optimal solution based on the analysis results of the Emotion Analysis Unit and the History Analysis Unit. For example, if a customer is dissatisfied, it proposes specific measures to resolve that dissatisfaction. This allows the advisory department to provide appropriate advice during escalation and increase the complaint resolution rate. Furthermore, the advisory department can contribute to improving the skills of operators, thereby enhancing the overall service quality of the call center.

[0033] The advice unit includes a response history summary unit that summarizes the history of responses. The response history summary unit provides a summary of the response history when an escalation occurs. For example, the response history summary unit summarizes the history of responses to the current claim based on past response history. For example, the response history summary unit can refer to successful past claim responses and propose the optimal response method for the current claim. For example, the response history summary unit can store past response history in a database and analyze that data. This enables quick and appropriate responses by providing a summary of the response history when an escalation occurs.

[0034] The advisory department includes a requirements analysis department that analyzes customer requests. The requirements analysis department analyzes customer requests. For example, the requirements analysis department analyzes customer requests based on past inquiries. For example, the requirements analysis department can understand what kind of requests customers have based on past inquiries. The requirements analysis department can also model customer requests using machine learning algorithms, for example. This allows for more appropriate responses by analyzing customer requests.

[0035] The advice unit includes a personality analysis unit that analyzes personality. The personality analysis unit analyzes the customer's personality. For example, the personality analysis unit analyzes the customer's personality based on past inquiry history. For example, the personality analysis unit can understand what kind of personality the customer has from past inquiry history. The personality analysis unit can also model the customer's personality using machine learning algorithms, for example. This allows for more appropriate responses by analyzing the customer's personality.

[0036] The advice department includes a solution proposal department that suggests the best course of action. The solution proposal department proposes the optimal course of action. For example, the solution proposal department proposes the best solution to the current complaint based on successful past complaint handling cases. The solution proposal department can also store past handling history in a database and analyze that data. The solution proposal department can also model the optimal solution using machine learning algorithms. By proposing the optimal course of action, the complaint resolution rate can be increased.

[0037] The history analysis unit can analyze past inquiry history while considering the frequency and time of inquiry. For example, in the case of a customer who makes frequent inquiries, the AI ​​in the history analysis unit can analyze the history in detail and extract patterns. For example, in the case of a customer who makes inquiries at a specific time, the AI ​​in the history analysis unit can also consider that time of day when performing the analysis. For example, in the case of a customer who makes infrequent inquiries, the AI ​​in the history analysis unit can also analyze the history in a simplified manner and extract important information. This allows for more appropriate responses by considering the frequency and time of inquiry when performing the analysis. Sentiment estimation is achieved using sentiment estimation functions, such as sentiment engines or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) and multimodal generation AI.

[0038] The history analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms to each category of inquiry when analyzing past inquiry history. For example, in the case of a technical inquiry, the AI ​​can analyze the technical information in detail. For example, in the case of a service inquiry, the AI ​​can also analyze the service information in detail.

[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0057] Step 1: The emotion analysis unit analyzes the current call content. The emotion analysis unit uses voice analysis technology to estimate the customer's emotions during the call. For example, it can analyze the tone and speed of the voice, the choice of words, etc., to estimate whether the customer is angry, satisfied, or anxious. It can also use voice recognition technology to convert the call content into text data and analyze that text data. Step 2: The history analysis unit learns from past inquiry history and analyzes the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. The history analysis unit stores past call history and inquiry content in a database and analyzes that data. For example, it can understand the customer's personality and what kinds of inquiries they frequently make from past call history. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms can be used to model the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. Step 3: The advice unit provides advice during escalation based on the analysis results obtained by the emotion analysis unit and the history analysis unit. The advice unit includes a response history summary unit that summarizes the response history, a request analysis unit that analyzes the request, a personality analysis unit that analyzes the personality, and a solution direction proposal unit that suggests the best course of action. As a result, the call center system can improve the complaint resolution rate by analyzing the current call content and past inquiry history and providing appropriate advice during escalation.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The call center system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for streamlining customer service in a call center and increasing the complaint resolution rate. This call center system uses AI to learn from current call content and past inquiry history to analyze the customer's emotions, personality, and inquiry tendencies. Next, based on the analysis results, the AI ​​advises on the "summary of the handling process," "requests," "personality," and "best solution direction" when handling an escalation. Based on this advice, the direction of the escalation is determined, and the complaint resolution rate is increased. First, the AI ​​is trained on current call content and past inquiry history. At this time, the AI ​​analyzes the customer's emotions, personality, and inquiry tendencies. For example, it is possible to understand what kind of personality the customer has and what kind of inquiries they frequently make from past call history. This allows for a detailed understanding of the customer's characteristics. Next, based on the analysis results, the AI ​​advises on the "summary of the handling process," "requests," "personality," and "best solution direction" when handling an escalation. For example, it can summarize what kind of complaints the customer has made in the past and what kind of responses were given, and propose the optimal solution for the current complaint. This allows for a quick determination of the direction of the escalation. Furthermore, based on AI advice, the direction of escalation handling is determined, increasing the complaint resolution rate. For example, by having operator crews take specific actions based on the solutions suggested by the AI, customer satisfaction can be improved. This leads to an increased complaint resolution rate and improved efficiency of the call center. This system streamlines customer service in the call center and improves the complaint resolution rate. By suggesting the optimal response method based on the customer characteristics analyzed by the AI, the burden on operator crews is reduced, enabling quick and appropriate responses. For example, by having operator crews take specific actions based on the solutions suggested by the AI, customer satisfaction can be improved. This leads to an increased complaint resolution rate and improved efficiency of the call center. As a result, the call center system can streamline customer service and increase the complaint resolution rate.

[0059] The call center system according to this embodiment comprises an emotion analysis unit, a history analysis unit, and an advice unit. The emotion analysis unit analyzes the content of the current call. The emotion analysis unit estimates the emotions of the customer during the call, for example, using voice analysis technology. The emotion analysis unit can estimate whether the customer is angry, satisfied, or anxious by analyzing, for example, the tone and speed of the voice and the choice of words. The emotion analysis unit can also convert the content of the call into text data using, for example, voice recognition technology, and analyze that text data. The history analysis unit learns from past inquiry history and analyzes the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. The history analysis unit can, for example, store past call history and inquiry content in a database and analyze that data. The history analysis unit can, for example, understand what kind of personality the customer has and what kind of inquiries they frequently make from past call history. The history analysis unit can also model the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies using, for example, a machine learning algorithm. The advice unit provides advice when handling escalations based on the analysis results obtained by the emotion analysis unit and the history analysis unit. The advice unit includes, for example, a response history summary unit that summarizes the response history. The advice unit includes, for example, a request analysis unit that analyzes requests.

As a result, the call center system according to the embodiment can improve the complaint resolution rate by analyzing the current call content and past inquiry history and providing appropriate advice when handling escalations.

[0060] The emotion analysis unit analyzes the current call content. For example, it estimates the customer's emotions during a call using voice analysis technology. Specifically, voice analysis technology extracts features such as tone, speed, pitch, and emphasized words, and estimates emotions based on these features. For example, if the voice tone is high and the speed is fast, it is determined that the customer is likely angry. Conversely, if the voice tone is low and the speed is slow, it is determined that the customer is likely calm or satisfied. Furthermore, the emotion analysis unit can also convert the call content into text data using voice recognition technology and analyze that text data. For the analysis of the text data, natural language processing technology is used to analyze word choice and context to more accurately estimate the customer's emotions. For example, if there are many negative words or strong expressions, it is determined that the customer is likely feeling dissatisfied. The emotion analysis unit provides these analysis results in real time to help operators respond quickly. In this way, the emotion analysis unit can accurately understand the customer's emotions and provide important information for taking appropriate action.

[0061] The history analysis department learns from past inquiry history and analyzes customer personalities and inquiry trends. Specifically, the history analysis department stores past call history and inquiry content in a database and analyzes that data. For example, from past call history, it can understand what kind of personality a customer has and what kinds of inquiries they frequently make. The history analysis department can also model customer personalities and inquiry trends using machine learning algorithms. For example, it can use clustering algorithms to classify customers into multiple groups and understand the characteristics of each group. In addition, the history analysis department can analyze past inquiry content to understand what kinds of problems customers are facing and what kinds of solutions they are seeking. This allows the history analysis department to accurately understand customer personalities and inquiry trends and provide important information for operators to respond appropriately. Furthermore, based on past data, the history analysis department can also predict future inquiry trends and take countermeasures in advance. For example, if there is a tendency for certain inquiries to increase during a particular period, countermeasures such as strengthening operator training in preparation for that period can be taken. In this way, the history analysis department can play an important role in improving the efficiency of the call center and customer satisfaction.

[0062] The Advice Unit provides advice during escalation based on the analysis results obtained by the Emotion Analysis Unit and the History Analysis Unit.

If the customer is satisfied, the AI ​​can suggest solutions concisely and highlight positive feedback. This allows for a more appropriate response by adjusting the solution suggestion method based on the customer's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using emotion estimation functions, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0098] The solution direction proposal unit can make optimal proposals by referring to past successful cases when proposing solutions. For example, the solution direction proposal unit can refer to cases where similar claims were resolved in the past, and the AI ​​will reflect those methods in the proposal. For example, the solution direction proposal unit can also have the AI ​​propose the optimal solution direction based on past successful cases. For example, the solution direction proposal unit can also have the AI ​​improve the accuracy of the proposal based on past successful cases. Thus, the accuracy of the proposal is improved by referring to past successful cases.

For example, if the customer is satisfied, the solution suggestion unit might display the suggested solutions in green to highlight positive feedback. By adjusting how the suggested solutions are displayed based on the customer's emotions, a more appropriate response becomes possible. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0100] The solution direction proposal unit can make optimal suggestions by considering the customer's geographical location information when proposing solutions. For example, if the customer is in a specific region, the AI ​​will make suggestions based on information for that region. For example, if the customer is in a different region, the AI ​​can make suggestions based on information for that region. For example, if the customer is on the move, the AI ​​can make suggestions considering the customer's movement pattern. This makes it possible to make more appropriate suggestions by considering the customer's geographical location information. Emotion estimation is achieved using emotion estimation functions, such as emotion engines or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0112] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0113] Step 1: The emotion analysis unit analyzes the current call content. The emotion analysis unit uses voice analysis technology to estimate the customer's emotions during the call. For example, it can analyze the tone and speed of the voice, the choice of words, etc., to estimate whether the customer is angry, satisfied, or anxious. It can also use voice recognition technology to convert the call content into text data and analyze that text data. Step 2: The history analysis unit learns from past inquiry history and analyzes the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. The history analysis unit stores past call history and inquiry content in a database and analyzes that data. For example, it can understand the customer's personality and what kinds of inquiries they frequently make from past call history. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms can be used to model the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. Step 3: The advice unit provides advice during escalation based on the analysis results obtained by the emotion analysis unit and the history analysis unit. The advice unit includes a response history summary unit that summarizes the response history, a request analysis unit that analyzes the request, a personality analysis unit that analyzes the personality, and a solution direction proposal unit that suggests the best course of action. As a result, the call center system can improve the complaint resolution rate by analyzing the current call content and past inquiry history and providing appropriate advice during escalation.

[0150] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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 processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0153] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0154] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0155] 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).

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.).

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the emotion analysis unit, history analysis unit, and advice unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the emotion analysis unit estimates the customer's emotions during a call using the microphone 238 of the robot 414, and this is analyzed by the control unit 46A. The history analysis unit learns past inquiry history using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the customer's personality and inquiry tendencies. The advice unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides advice when handling escalations based on the analysis results of the emotion analysis unit and the history analysis unit. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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."

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
