Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.
[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] 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.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates designs on a 3D map simply by inputting a room floor plan and an image of the space to be created. This system aims to reduce the man-hours required to realize the ideal interior during renovation and to fulfill the buyer's ideal. First, the generating AI learns in advance information such as space design, furniture size, and price. Next, the user inputs the floor plan of the property, an image of the space to be created, and a budget. For example, if the user inputs "I want to create a resort-style living room," the generating AI will generate an optimal space design based on that information. The generated space design is output as a 3D map, and the user can check the design. Furthermore, the generating AI also suggests furniture selection, placement, and price information. For example, it provides information on what kind of furniture is suitable for a resort-style living room, how to arrange that furniture, and price information. This system reduces the workload of architects and improves residents' satisfaction with the design. Users can easily realize their ideal space, and it also contributes to cost reduction during renovation. This allows the AI system to generate designs and layouts on a 3D map, suggest furniture selections and placements, and provide price information, simply by the user inputting a floor plan of the room and an image of the space they want to create.
[0029] The AI system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, an output unit, and a proposal unit. The reception unit receives a floor plan of a property as input. For example, the user can scan the floor plan of the property into the reception unit. The reception unit can also receive a floor plan in digital format directly as input. Furthermore, the reception unit can receive a handwritten floor plan taken with a camera as input. The generation unit generates a spatial design based on the floor plan and spatial image input by the reception unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the spatial image input by the user and generate an optimal spatial design. Because the generation AI has learned spatial design, furniture size, price information, etc., the generation unit can provide a design that meets the user's needs. The output unit outputs the spatial design generated by the generation unit as a 3D map. For example, the output unit can display the 3D map on a display. The output unit can also print the 3D map with a printer. Furthermore, the output unit can save the 3D map as digital data. The proposal unit suggests furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the 3D map output by the output unit. For example, the proposal unit uses generation AI to select furniture suitable for the 3D map and provides placement methods and pricing information. The proposal unit can also suggest the optimal furniture selection and placement based on the budget information entered by the user. As a result, the AI system can generate designs and layouts on a 3D map and suggest furniture selection, placement, and pricing information simply by inputting the property's floor plan and spatial image.
[0030] The reception desk inputs floor plans of properties. For example, users can scan floor plans into the reception desk. Specifically, users place a paper floor plan in the scanner and press the scan button, and the floor plan is imported into the system as digital data. The reception desk can also directly input digital floor plans. For example, users can upload an already digitized floor plan file to the system, and the floor plan is imported. Furthermore, the reception desk can also input handwritten floor plans by users taking a picture of it with a camera. Users take a picture of a handwritten floor plan using the camera of their smartphone or tablet and upload the image to the system. The system uses image recognition technology to analyze the handwritten floor plan and import it as digital data. This allows the reception desk to provide flexibility in allowing users to input floor plans in various formats, improving user convenience. In addition, the reception desk has a function to check the quality of the entered floor plans and prompt the user to make corrections if there is missing information or unclear parts. For example, if part of the floor plan is unclear, the system will highlight that part and send a notification to the user requesting re-entry. This allows the reception desk to import accurate and complete floor plan data into the system.
[0031] The generation unit generates spatial designs based on floor plans and spatial images entered by the reception unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's input spatial image and generate the optimal spatial design. Specifically, the generation AI receives the user's floor plan and spatial image as input data and generates a spatial design based on this data. Because the generation AI learns about spatial design, furniture size, and price information, it can provide designs that meet the user's needs. For example, if a user desires a "modern living room," the generation AI selects modern furniture and decorations and arranges them according to the floor plan. Furthermore, the generation AI considers not only furniture placement but also the overall design of the space, including lighting placement, wall color, and flooring selection. In addition, the generation AI can generate and propose multiple design options according to the user's budget and preferences. For example, it can offer designs in different price ranges, such as designs using high-end furniture or cost-effective designs. This allows the generation unit to quickly generate and provide a variety of spatial designs that meet the user's needs.
[0032] The output unit outputs the spatial design generated by the generation unit as a 3D map. The output unit can, for example, display the 3D map on a screen. Specifically, it can display the generated 3D map on a high-resolution screen, allowing the user to visually confirm the spatial design. The output unit can also print the 3D map using a printer. For example, it can use a 3D printer to output the generated spatial design as a three-dimensional model, allowing the user to physically examine it. Furthermore, the output unit can save the 3D map as digital data. For example, it can save the generated 3D map to cloud storage, allowing the user to access it at any time. This allows the output unit to output the generated spatial design in various formats, improving user convenience. Additionally, the output unit provides interactive features that allow the user to manipulate the 3D map and view the spatial design from different perspectives. For example, the user can rotate the 3D map and zoom in and out using a mouse or touchscreen. This allows the output unit to support the user in thoroughly examining the spatial design and selecting a design they are satisfied with.
[0033] The proposal unit suggests furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the 3D map output by the output unit. For example, the proposal unit uses a generation AI to select furniture suitable for the 3D map and provides placement methods and pricing information. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the spatial design of the 3D map and selects and places the optimal furniture. For instance, it selects furniture such as a sofa, table, and TV stand for a living room and places them in the optimal locations. The generation AI also considers detailed information such as furniture size, color, and material to ensure overall harmony in the space. Furthermore, the proposal unit can suggest optimal furniture selection and placement based on budget information entered by the user. For example, if the user sets a budget, the generation AI selects the most suitable furniture within that budget and provides pricing information. This allows the user to achieve their ideal spatial design within their budget. The proposal unit also provides information on furniture suppliers and delivery times to support the user in purchasing furniture smoothly. For example, it provides links to the suggested furniture, allowing the user to purchase directly from online shops. The proposal unit also provides furniture placement methods and assembly instructions to enable the user to easily install the furniture. This allows the proposal department to provide comprehensive support to users and assist them in realizing their ideal spatial design.
[0034] The generation unit can learn spatial design, furniture size, and price information. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to learn spatial design trends, furniture size, and price information. The generation unit can generate more accurate spatial designs by having the generation AI learn from a large amount of data. For example, the generation unit can have the generation AI learn from past design data and provide designs that meet the user's needs. The generation unit can also have the generation AI learn furniture size and price information and make suggestions that fit the user's budget. In this way, the generation unit can generate more accurate spatial designs through learning.
[0035] The reception desk can receive spatial images and budget information entered by the user. For example, the reception desk can receive spatial images entered by the user in text format. The reception desk can also receive spatial images entered by the user in image format. Furthermore, the reception desk can also receive budget information entered by the user in numerical format. As a result, the reception desk can generate more specific spatial designs by receiving spatial images and budget information entered by the user. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the spatial image entered by the user into the AI and have the AI perform analysis of the spatial image.
[0036] The generation unit can generate an optimal spatial design based on the spatial image input by the user. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the spatial image input by the user and generate an optimal spatial design. Because the generation AI learns about spatial design trends and user requests, the generation unit can provide a design that is close to the user's ideal. For example, the generation AI generates an optimal spatial design based on keywords and images input by the user. The generation unit can also provide an optimal design by having the generation AI consider the user's budget information. In this way, the generation unit can provide a design that is close to the user's ideal by generating an optimal spatial design based on the spatial image input by the user.
[0037] The output unit can display the generated spatial design as a 3D map. For example, the output unit can display the generated spatial design on a display. The output unit can also print the generated spatial design using a printer. Furthermore, the output unit can save the generated spatial design as digital data. This allows the user to visually confirm the design by displaying the generated spatial design as a 3D map. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input the generated spatial design into AI and have the AI generate the 3D map.
[0038] The proposal unit can suggest furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the generated 3D map. For example, the proposal unit can use a generating AI to select furniture suitable for the 3D map and provide placement methods and pricing information. The proposal unit can also suggest the optimal furniture selection and placement based on budget information entered by the user. For example, the proposal unit can use a generating AI to learn furniture size and pricing information and make suggestions that meet the user's needs. The proposal unit can also use a generating AI to suggest the optimal furniture placement based on the user's spatial image. In this way, by suggesting furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the generated 3D map, the proposal unit allows the user to understand the specific furniture placement and prices. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the proposal unit can input the generated 3D map into the AI and have the AI perform the furniture selection, placement, and pricing information suggestion.
[0039] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception desk can also predict and suggest input methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past input history. Furthermore, the reception desk can customize input methods by referring to floor plans and spatial images that the user has previously entered. In this way, the reception desk can provide the user with the optimal input method by analyzing the user's past input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past input history into AI and have the AI select the optimal input method.
[0040] The reception desk can filter input floor plans and spatial images based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. For example, the reception desk can prioritize displaying floor plans and spatial images related to the user's current ongoing projects. The reception desk can also filter input candidates based on the user's areas of interest (e.g., resort style, modern style). Furthermore, the reception desk can suggest relevant floor plans and spatial images based on projects the user has shown interest in in the past. In this way, the reception desk can provide highly relevant information by filtering based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's project information into AI and have the AI perform the filtering.
[0041] The reception desk can prioritize retrieving highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location when inputting floor plans or spatial images. For example, the reception desk can suggest relevant floor plans and spatial images by referencing the architectural styles and designs of the area where the user is currently located. The reception desk can also prioritize displaying designs suitable for the local climate and environment based on the user's geographical location. Furthermore, the reception desk can suggest relevant floor plans and spatial images by referencing the designs of places the user has visited in the past. In this way, the reception desk can provide designs and information suitable for the region by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's geographical location information into the AI and have the AI retrieve highly relevant information.
[0042] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity and obtain relevant information when inputting floor plans and spatial images. For example, the reception desk can suggest relevant floor plans and spatial images based on designs and inspirations shared by the user on social media. The reception desk can also obtain relevant information based on designs shared by the user's social media followers and friends. Furthermore, the reception desk can suggest relevant floor plans and spatial images based on designs that the user has "liked" or commented on on social media. In this way, the reception desk can provide designs and information that match the user's preferences by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's social media activity into AI and have the AI perform the acquisition of relevant information.
[0043] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail in the spatial design based on the importance of the floor plan. For example, the generation unit can generate detailed designs for important rooms (such as the living room and kitchen) and simplified designs for other rooms. The generation unit can also generate detailed designs for rooms that the user particularly values. Furthermore, the generation unit can generate detailed designs for the most frequently used rooms in the floor plan. In this way, the generation unit can provide detailed designs for important rooms by adjusting the level of detail based on the importance of the floor plan. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the generation unit can input the importance of the floor plan into the AI and have the AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail in the design.
[0044] The generation unit can apply different design algorithms depending on the category of the space when generating spatial designs. For example, the generation unit can apply a relaxing design algorithm to a living room and a functional design algorithm to a kitchen. It can also apply a design algorithm that prioritizes comfort to a bedroom and a design algorithm that prioritizes cleanliness to a bathroom. Furthermore, it can apply a design algorithm that incorporates playfulness to a child's room and a design algorithm that enhances concentration to a study. In this way, the generation unit can provide the optimal design for each space by applying different design algorithms depending on the category of the space. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the category of the space into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the application of the design algorithm.
[0045] The generation unit can determine design priorities based on the submission timing of floor plans when generating spatial designs. For example, the generation unit will prioritize generating designs for floor plans with approaching submission deadlines. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the generation unit can adjust the design priorities based on the submission timing. In addition, the generation unit can generate detailed designs for floor plans with later submission deadlines. This allows the generation unit to provide designs that meet submission deadlines by prioritizing designs based on the floor plan submission timing. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the generation unit can input submission timing information into the AI and have the AI determine the design priorities.
[0046] The generation unit can adjust the order of designs based on the relationships between the floor plans when generating spatial designs. For example, the generation unit can prioritize generating designs for the most relevant rooms in the floor plan. It can also postpone generating designs for less relevant rooms in the floor plan. Furthermore, the generation unit can alternate between designing highly relevant and less relevant rooms in the floor plan. In this way, the generation unit can prioritize providing designs to highly relevant rooms by adjusting the order of designs based on the relationships between the floor plans. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input the relationships between the floor plans into the AI and have the AI perform the adjustment of the design order.
[0047] The output unit can select the optimal display method when displaying a 3D map by referring to the user's past operation history. For example, the output unit may prioritize suggesting display methods that the user has previously preferred. The output unit can also predict and suggest display methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past operation history. Furthermore, the output unit can select the optimal display method by referring to the styles of 3D maps that the user has previously displayed. In this way, the output unit can provide the user with the optimal display method by referring to the user's past operation history. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input the user's operation history into AI and have the AI select the optimal display method.
[0048] The output unit can select the optimal display method when displaying a 3D map, taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the output unit can provide a display method that matches the screen size. Furthermore, if the user is using a tablet, the output unit can provide a display method optimized for a larger screen. Additionally, if the user is using a smartwatch, the output unit can provide a concise and highly visible display method. Thus, by considering the user's device information, the output unit can provide a display method optimized for the device. Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input the user's device information into the AI and have the AI select the optimal display method.
[0049] The output unit can select the optimal display method when displaying a 3D map, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the output unit can display a relevant 3D map by referencing the architectural style and design of the area where the user is currently located. The output unit can also display a 3D map that is suitable for the climate and environment of the region based on the user's geographical location information. Furthermore, the output unit can display a relevant 3D map by referencing the design of places the user has visited in the past. In this way, the output unit can provide a display method that is appropriate for the region by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

Some or all of the above processing in the output unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the output unit can input the user's social media activity into AI and have the AI display relevant information.
[0051] The suggestion unit can analyze the user's past purchasing behavior to select the optimal suggestion method when proposing furniture selection, arrangement, and price information. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest the most suitable furniture by referring to the style and price range of furniture the user has purchased in the past. The suggestion unit can also prioritize suggesting specific brands or designs based on the user's past purchasing behavior. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can suggest the optimal arrangement by referring to how the user has arranged furniture in the past. In this way, the suggestion unit can provide the most suitable suggestions for the user by analyzing the user's past purchasing behavior.

A comfort-focused design algorithm can be applied to a bedroom, and a cleanliness-focused design algorithm to a bathroom. Furthermore, a playful design algorithm can be applied to a child's room, and a concentration-enhancing design algorithm to a study. In this way, the generation unit can provide the optimal design for each space by applying different design algorithms according to the category of the space. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without using a generation AI.
[0061] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0062] Step 1: The reception desk inputs the property's floor plan. The reception desk can receive floor plans from users via scanner. It can also directly input digital floor plans. Furthermore, users can input handwritten floor plans by taking a picture of them with a camera. Step 2: The generation unit generates a spatial design based on the floor plan and spatial image entered by the reception unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the spatial image entered by the user and generate the optimal spatial design. The generation AI has learned spatial design, furniture size, price information, etc., and provides a design that meets the user's requirements. Step 3: The output unit outputs the spatial design generated by the generation unit as a 3D map. The output unit can display the 3D map on a screen. It is also possible to print the 3D map using a printer or save it as digital data. Step 4: The proposal unit suggests furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the 3D map output by the output unit. The proposal unit uses generation AI to select furniture suitable for the 3D map and provides placement methods and pricing information. Furthermore, it can suggest the optimal furniture selection and placement based on the budget information entered by the user.
[0063] (Example of form 2) The AI system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that generates designs on a 3D map simply by inputting a room floor plan and an image of the space to be created. This system aims to reduce the man-hours required to realize the ideal interior during renovation and to fulfill the buyer's ideal. First, the generating AI learns in advance information such as space design, furniture size, and price. Next, the user inputs the floor plan of the property, an image of the space to be created, and a budget. For example, if the user inputs "I want to create a resort-style living room," the generating AI will generate an optimal space design based on that information. The generated space design is output as a 3D map, and the user can check the design. Furthermore, the generating AI also suggests furniture selection, placement, and price information. For example, it provides information on what kind of furniture is suitable for a resort-style living room, how to arrange that furniture, and price information. This system reduces the workload of architects and improves residents' satisfaction with the design. Users can easily realize their ideal space, and it also contributes to cost reduction during renovation. This allows the AI system to generate designs and layouts on a 3D map, suggest furniture selections and placements, and provide price information, simply by the user inputting a floor plan of the room and an image of the space they want to create.
[0064] The AI system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, an output unit, and a proposal unit. The reception unit receives a floor plan of a property as input. For example, the user can scan the floor plan of the property into the reception unit. The reception unit can also receive a floor plan in digital format directly as input. Furthermore, the reception unit can receive a handwritten floor plan taken with a camera as input. The generation unit generates a spatial design based on the floor plan and spatial image input by the reception unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the spatial image input by the user and generate an optimal spatial design. Because the generation AI has learned spatial design, furniture size, price information, etc., the generation unit can provide a design that meets the user's needs. The output unit outputs the spatial design generated by the generation unit as a 3D map. For example, the output unit can display the 3D map on a display. The output unit can also print the 3D map with a printer. Furthermore, the output unit can save the 3D map as digital data. The proposal unit suggests furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the 3D map output by the output unit. For example, the proposal unit uses generation AI to select furniture suitable for the 3D map and provides placement methods and pricing information. The proposal unit can also suggest the optimal furniture selection and placement based on the budget information entered by the user. As a result, the AI system can generate designs and layouts on a 3D map and suggest furniture selection, placement, and pricing information simply by inputting the property's floor plan and spatial image.
[0065] The reception desk inputs floor plans of properties. For example, users can scan floor plans into the reception desk. Specifically, users place a paper floor plan in the scanner and press the scan button, and the floor plan is imported into the system as digital data. The reception desk can also directly input digital floor plans. For example, users can upload an already digitized floor plan file to the system, and the floor plan is imported. Furthermore, the reception desk can also input handwritten floor plans by users taking a picture of it with a camera. Users take a picture of a handwritten floor plan using the camera of their smartphone or tablet and upload the image to the system. The system uses image recognition technology to analyze the handwritten floor plan and import it as digital data. This allows the reception desk to provide flexibility in allowing users to input floor plans in various formats, improving user convenience. In addition, the reception desk has a function to check the quality of the entered floor plans and prompt the user to make corrections if there is missing information or unclear parts. For example, if part of the floor plan is unclear, the system will highlight that part and send a notification to the user requesting re-entry. This allows the reception desk to import accurate and complete floor plan data into the system.
[0066] The generation unit generates spatial designs based on floor plans and spatial images entered by the reception unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's input spatial image and generate the optimal spatial design. Specifically, the generation AI receives the user's floor plan and spatial image as input data and generates a spatial design based on this data. Because the generation AI learns about spatial design, furniture size, and price information, it can provide designs that meet the user's needs. For example, if a user desires a "modern living room," the generation AI selects modern furniture and decorations and arranges them according to the floor plan. Furthermore, the generation AI considers not only furniture placement but also the overall design of the space, including lighting placement, wall color, and flooring selection. In addition, the generation AI can generate and propose multiple design options according to the user's budget and preferences. For example, it can offer designs in different price ranges, such as designs using high-end furniture or cost-effective designs. This allows the generation unit to quickly generate and provide a variety of spatial designs that meet the user's needs.
[0067] The output unit outputs the spatial design generated by the generation unit as a 3D map. The output unit can, for example, display the 3D map on a screen. Specifically, it can display the generated 3D map on a high-resolution screen, allowing the user to visually confirm the spatial design. The output unit can also print the 3D map using a printer. For example, it can use a 3D printer to output the generated spatial design as a three-dimensional model, allowing the user to physically examine it. Furthermore, the output unit can save the 3D map as digital data. For example, it can save the generated 3D map to cloud storage, allowing the user to access it at any time. This allows the output unit to output the generated spatial design in various formats, improving user convenience. Additionally, the output unit provides interactive features that allow the user to manipulate the 3D map and view the spatial design from different perspectives. For example, the user can rotate the 3D map and zoom in and out using a mouse or touchscreen. This allows the output unit to support the user in thoroughly examining the spatial design and selecting a design they are satisfied with.
[0068] The proposal unit suggests furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the 3D map output by the output unit. For example, the proposal unit uses a generation AI to select furniture suitable for the 3D map and provides placement methods and pricing information. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the spatial design of the 3D map and selects and places the optimal furniture. For instance, it selects furniture such as a sofa, table, and TV stand for a living room and places them in the optimal locations. The generation AI also considers detailed information such as furniture size, color, and material to ensure overall harmony in the space. Furthermore, the proposal unit can suggest optimal furniture selection and placement based on budget information entered by the user. For example, if the user sets a budget, the generation AI selects the most suitable furniture within that budget and provides pricing information. This allows the user to achieve their ideal spatial design within their budget. The proposal unit also provides information on furniture suppliers and delivery times to support the user in purchasing furniture smoothly. For example, it provides links to the suggested furniture, allowing the user to purchase directly from online shops. The proposal unit also provides furniture placement methods and assembly instructions to enable the user to easily install the furniture. This allows the proposal department to provide comprehensive support to users and assist them in realizing their ideal spatial design.
[0069] The generation unit can learn spatial design, furniture size, and price information. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to learn spatial design trends, furniture size, and price information. The generation unit can generate more accurate spatial designs by having the generation AI learn from a large amount of data. For example, the generation unit can have the generation AI learn from past design data and provide designs that meet the user's needs. The generation unit can also have the generation AI learn furniture size and price information and make suggestions that fit the user's budget. In this way, the generation unit can generate more accurate spatial designs through learning.
[0070] The reception desk can receive spatial images and budget information entered by the user. For example, the reception desk can receive spatial images entered by the user in text format. The reception desk can also receive spatial images entered by the user in image format. Furthermore, the reception desk can also receive budget information entered by the user in numerical format. As a result, the reception desk can generate more specific spatial designs by receiving spatial images and budget information entered by the user. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the spatial image entered by the user into the AI and have the AI perform analysis of the spatial image.
[0071] The generation unit can generate an optimal spatial design based on the spatial image input by the user. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the spatial image input by the user and generate an optimal spatial design. Because the generation AI learns about spatial design trends and user requests, the generation unit can provide a design that is close to the user's ideal. For example, the generation AI generates an optimal spatial design based on keywords and images input by the user. The generation unit can also provide an optimal design by having the generation AI consider the user's budget information. In this way, the generation unit can provide a design that is close to the user's ideal by generating an optimal spatial design based on the spatial image input by the user.

For example, the proposal unit can use a generating AI to learn furniture size and pricing information and make suggestions that meet the user's needs. The proposal unit can also use a generating AI to suggest the optimal furniture placement based on the user's spatial image. In this way, by suggesting furniture selection, placement, and pricing information based on the generated 3D map, the proposal unit allows the user to understand the specific furniture placement and prices. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the proposal unit can input the generated 3D map into the AI and have the AI perform the furniture selection, placement, and pricing information suggestion.
[0074] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the input timing of floor plans and spatial images based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception unit can delay the input timing to allow them to relax. Conversely, if the user is excited, the reception unit can speed up the input timing to expedite the process. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the reception unit can adjust the input timing to include breaks. In this way, the reception unit can reduce user stress and promote efficient input by adjusting the input timing according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the reception unit can input user emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

For example, the reception desk can input the user's past input history into AI and have the AI select the optimal input method.
[0076] The reception desk can filter input floor plans and spatial images based on the user's current projects and areas of interest.

For example, the reception desk can input the user's project information into AI and have the AI perform the filtering.
[0077] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and, based on the estimated emotions, determine the priority of floor plans and spatial images to be input.

If the user is in a hurry, the reception unit may prioritize simplified floor plans and spatial images. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the reception unit may prioritize visually appealing floor plans and spatial images.

[0144] 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 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example.

For example, the reception unit can input a floor plan of a property using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates a spatial design using generation AI. The output unit can display a 3D map on, for example, the display 343 of the headset terminal 314. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes furniture selection, arrangement, and price information. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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).
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, generation unit, output unit, and proposal unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit can input a floor plan of a property using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates a spatial design using generation AI. The output unit can, for example, display a 3D map on the display of the robot 414. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes furniture selection, placement, and price information. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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."
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
