[0100] Marketing systems can analyze customers' social media activity and generate campaigns based on topics and trends that customers are interested in. For example, if a customer frequently mentions a particular brand or product on social media, the system can provide campaigns related to that brand or product. Similarly, if a customer shows interest in a specific event or trend, the system can generate campaigns related to that event or trend. Furthermore, it can provide relevant campaigns based on the influencers and brands that customers follow. This allows marketing systems to leverage customers' social media activity to deliver more engaging campaigns.

[0101] Marketing systems can leverage customers' geographical location information to generate campaigns tailored to specific regions and cultures. For example, they can offer campaigns aligned with events and festivals held in a particular area. They can also generate campaigns that highlight products and services related to specific cultures and customs. Furthermore, they can provide campaigns that reflect the preferences and purchasing trends of consumers in each region. By offering campaigns tailored to local areas and cultures, companies can gain customer engagement.

[0102] Marketing systems can estimate customer emotions and adjust the timing of campaign delivery based on those estimates. For example, campaigns can be delivered when customers are relaxed, energetic campaigns when they are excited, and relaxing campaigns when they are stressed. This allows for more effective communication by delivering campaigns at times that align with customer emotions.

[0103] Marketing systems can generate campaigns in the most optimal format, taking into account customer device information. For example, if a customer uses a smartphone, a mobile-friendly campaign can be generated. Similarly, if a customer uses a tablet, a campaign optimized for larger screens can be generated. Furthermore, if a customer uses a desktop, a campaign with detailed information can be generated. This improves usability by providing campaigns optimized for each customer's device.

[0104] Marketing systems can estimate customer emotions and adjust how they interact with customers based on those estimates. For example, if a customer is relaxed, email contact can be prioritized. If a customer is excited, social media contact can be prioritized. Furthermore, if a customer is stressed, phone contact can be avoided. By providing contact methods tailored to the customer's emotions, customer satisfaction can be improved.

[0105] Marketing systems can customize their interactions based on a customer's current life situation. For example, if a customer is traveling, they can be provided with information related to their destination. If a customer is moving, they can be provided with information related to their new home. Furthermore, if a customer is raising children, they can be provided with information related to childcare. This allows for greater customer engagement by providing interactions tailored to the customer's life circumstances.

[0106] Marketing systems can estimate customer emotions and adjust how prediction results are displayed based on those estimates. For example, if a customer is relaxed, detailed prediction results can be displayed. If a customer is excited, concise prediction results can be displayed. Furthermore, if a customer is stressed, simple and easy-to-understand prediction results can be displayed. This allows for a more emotionally responsive presentation of prediction results, thereby facilitating their understanding.

[0107] Marketing systems can select the optimal contact method by referring to past customer response data. For example, they can prioritize contact methods in which customers have responded positively in the past. They can also avoid contact methods in which customers have not responded. Furthermore, they can select the optimal timing for contact based on past customer response data. This allows for effective communication by providing contact methods that reflect past customer response data.

[0108] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0109] Step 1: The generation unit generates customized campaigns based on social trends and expertise. The generation unit analyzes the latest trend data and expertise to generate the most effective campaigns for customers. For example, it can generate campaigns tailored to seasonal trends or specific events. Some or all of the processing in the generation unit is performed using generation AI. Step 2: The contact unit increases customer contact points through campaigns generated by the generation unit. The contact unit analyzes customer behavior data and preference data to deliver campaigns at the optimal time. For example, when a customer shows interest in a particular product, a campaign related to that product can be delivered. Some or all of the processing in the contact unit may be performed using AI, or it may not be performed using AI. Step 3: The prediction unit analyzes customer data obtained by the contact unit to predict future trends and competitive landscapes. The prediction unit analyzes past data and current market conditions to predict future trends and competitive landscapes. For example, it can predict when competitors will launch new products and prepare counter-campaigns in advance. Some or all of the processing in the prediction unit is performed using AI. Step 4: The delivery unit provides optimal content in real time based on the prediction results obtained by the prediction unit. The delivery unit analyzes past communication data with customers to understand customer preferences and behavioral patterns. For example, it can provide information on relevant products based on products that customers have purchased in the past. Some or all of the processing in the delivery unit is performed using generative AI.

[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 generation unit, contact unit, prediction unit, and delivery unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the generation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which analyzes the latest trend data and expertise to generate the most effective campaigns for customers. The contact unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes customer behavior data and preference data to deliver campaigns at the optimal timing. The prediction unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes past data and current market conditions to predict future trends and competitive situations. The delivery unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which analyzes past communication data with customers to provide optimal content in real time. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[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.

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.
