Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) An entertainment AI service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to provide individualized support for the daily problems and questions that each user faces. This system receives questions and requests from users, the generative AI analyzes those questions and requests, and provides accurate answers and advice. For example, it can solve problems and provide educational information in various areas, such as health, beauty, cooking advice, and travel planning support. This mechanism is expected to make it easier for individuals to solve problems and gather information, enabling each person to lead a more fulfilling daily life. First, the system receives questions and requests from users. At this time, the user inputs specific questions and requests. For example, the user may input questions or requests such as "I want to know some healthy meal recipes" or "I want to know some recommended spots for my next travel destination." This information is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input questions and requests. The generative AI understands the user's questions and requests and generates appropriate answers and advice. For example, in response to a question asking for healthy meal recipes, the generative AI suggests a nutritionally balanced recipe. Also, in response to a request for recommended spots for the next travel destination, the generative AI suggests tourist spots and activities at the travel destination. The generated answers and advice are provided to the user. For example, recipes or travel destination information suggested by the generating AI are displayed on the user's smartphone or personal computer. This allows users to easily obtain information and solve everyday problems and questions. This system makes personal problem-solving and information gathering more efficient. By utilizing the generating AI, users can obtain quick and accurate answers and advice. This is thought to enable each individual to lead a more fulfilling life. For example, by providing appropriate advice to health-related questions, the generating AI can help users lead healthier lives. Also, by receiving support for travel planning, users can enjoy more fulfilling trips. In this way, entertainment AI services can provide appropriate answers and advice to users' questions and requests.

[0029] The entertainment AI service according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives questions and requests from the user. User questions and requests include, but are not limited to, requests such as "Please tell me a recipe for a healthy meal" or "Please tell me recommended spots for my next travel destination." The reception unit receives questions and requests entered by the user as text data, for example. The reception unit can also receive questions and requests from the user using voice input. For example, the user dictates a question or request using a microphone, and the reception unit converts that voice data into text data. Furthermore, the reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions and requests based on the estimated emotions of the user. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, questions and requests may be received at a time when they can relax. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the questions and requests received by the reception unit and generate appropriate answers and advice. The analysis unit uses, for example, a generation AI to understand the user's questions and requests and generate appropriate answers and advice. The generation AI generates answers and advice to user questions and requests, for example, using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The analysis unit can also analyze questions and requests using natural language processing and extract appropriate information from a database. For example, when the generation AI suggests a healthy meal recipe, it extracts a nutritionally balanced recipe from the database and provides it to the user. The provision unit provides the answers and advice generated by the analysis unit. The provision unit displays the answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. The provision unit can also provide the user with recipes and travel destination information suggested by the generation AI. For example, it can display a recipe suggested by the generation AI on the user's smartphone so that the user can check the recipe. In this way, the entertainment AI service according to the embodiment can provide appropriate answers and advice to user questions and requests. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, and provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.For example, the reception department can input user questions and requests into an AI model, the analysis department can analyze the questions and requests using the AI ​​model, and the service department can provide answers and advice generated using the AI ​​model.

[0030] The reception desk receives user questions and requests. These questions and requests may include, but are not limited to, requests for healthy meal recipes or recommendations for places to visit on a future trip. The reception desk can, for example, receive user-entered questions and requests as text data. Specifically, it can receive text data entered by users through smartphone or personal computer interfaces in real time. The reception desk can also accept user questions and requests using voice input. For example, a user might dictate a question or request using a microphone, and the reception desk converts that voice data into text. Using speech recognition technology, the reception desk can accurately transcribe user speech, enabling smooth interaction. Furthermore, the reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions and requests based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a user is feeling stressed, the reception desk can accept questions and requests during times when the user is likely to relax. Emotion estimation can utilize technologies that analyze voice tone, text content, and even the user's facial expressions. This allows for flexible responses tailored to the user's psychological state, enabling a more personalized service. The reception desk integrates these functions and provides a powerful interface to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0031] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze questions and requests received by the reception unit and generate appropriate answers and advice. For example, the generative AI understands the user's questions and requests and generates appropriate answers and advice. The generative AI uses, for example, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate answers and advice to the user's questions and requests. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the user's input text and generates the optimal answer based on its content. For example, if a user inputs "I want a recipe for a healthy meal," the generative AI will suggest a recipe that takes into account nutritional balance, calories, and types of ingredients. The analysis unit can also use natural language processing to analyze questions and requests and extract appropriate information from the database. For example, when the generative AI suggests a healthy meal recipe, it extracts a nutritionally balanced recipe from the database and provides it to the user. Furthermore, the analysis unit can generate more personalized answers based on the user's past questions, requests, and usage history. For example, if it is known that the user has liked a particular ingredient in the past, it will prioritize suggesting recipes that include that ingredient. This allows the analysis unit to provide highly accurate answers and advice tailored to the user's needs.

[0032] The service provider provides answers and advice generated by the analysis unit. For example, the service provider displays answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. Specifically, the generated answers and advice are displayed on the screen of the user's device in the form of text, images, videos, etc. The service provider can also provide users with recipes and travel destination information suggested by the generation AI. For example, it can display recipes suggested by the generation AI on the user's smartphone, allowing the user to review them. Furthermore, the service provider can collect user feedback and send it to the analysis unit in order to provide information tailored to the user's preferences. For example, the user can evaluate the suggested recipes, and the analysis unit can use that evaluation to improve future suggestions. The service provider can also monitor user usage and provide information at the appropriate time. For example, if a user tends to search for recipes at a specific time of day, the service provider can suggest new recipes to match that time. In this way, the service provider can always provide users with the most optimal information and improve user satisfaction.

[0033] The analysis unit can analyze questions and requests using generative AI and generate appropriate answers and advice. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to understand the user's questions and requests and generate appropriate answers and advice. The generative AI uses, for example, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate answers and advice to the user's questions and requests. The analysis unit can also use natural language processing to analyze questions and requests and extract appropriate information from a database. For example, when the generative AI suggests a healthy meal recipe, it extracts a nutritionally balanced recipe from the database and provides it to the user. This improves the accuracy of question and request analysis by using generative AI. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's questions and requests into an AI model, use the AI ​​model to analyze the questions and requests, and generate appropriate answers and advice.

[0034] The service provider can display the answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. For example, the service provider can provide the user with recipes or travel destination information suggested by the generation AI. The service provider can display the answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. For example, it can display a recipe suggested by the generation AI on the user's smartphone so that the user can check the recipe. It can also display travel destination information suggested by the generation AI on the user's personal computer so that the user can check the information. In this way, the service provider can provide the user with the answers and advice generated by the generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input the answers and advice generated by the generation AI into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to display them on the user's smartphone or personal computer.

[0035] The reception desk can analyze the user's past question history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting question formats that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception desk can accept questions during times that the user has preferred to use in the past. The reception desk can also automatically suggest relevant questions based on the content of the user's past questions. In this way, the optimal reception method can be selected by analyzing the user's past question history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past question history into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to select the optimal reception method.

[0036] The reception desk can filter questions and requests based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. For example, if the user is interested in health, the reception desk can prioritize health-related questions. If the user is planning a trip, the reception desk can prioritize travel-related questions. The reception desk can also prioritize simple questions if the user is busy. By filtering questions and requests based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest, the reception desk can receive more relevant questions and requests. 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 data on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to filter questions and requests.

[0037] The reception desk can prioritize receiving questions and requests that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception desk can prioritize questions related to that region. If the user is traveling, the reception desk can prioritize questions related to their travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the reception desk can prioritize questions related to their home. In this way, by considering the user's geographical location, the reception desk can prioritize receiving questions and requests that are highly relevant. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's geographical location into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to prioritize receiving questions and requests that are highly relevant.

[0038] The reception desk can analyze a user's social media activity when receiving questions or requests and receive relevant questions or requests. For example, if a user posts about health on social media, the reception desk can prioritize health-related questions. If a user posts about travel, the reception desk can prioritize travel-related questions. Similarly, if a user posts about cooking, the reception desk can prioritize cooking-related questions. In this way, by analyzing a user's social media activity, it is possible to prioritize receiving relevant questions and requests. 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 data into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to receive relevant questions and requests.

[0039] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the questions and requests during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis for important questions, a standard analysis for general questions, and a concise analysis for simple questions. By adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the questions and requests, more appropriate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance data of questions and requests into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to adjust the level of detail of the analysis.

[0040] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the question or request during analysis. For example, for questions about health, the analysis unit can apply an analysis algorithm using a medical database. For questions about travel, the analysis unit can apply an analysis algorithm using a tourism database. Furthermore, for questions about cooking, the analysis unit can apply an analysis algorithm using a recipe database. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the question or request, more appropriate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the category data of questions and requests into an AI model and apply different analysis algorithms using the AI ​​model.

[0041] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on when questions and requests were submitted. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analysis for urgent questions. For regular questions, it can perform analysis with a standard priority. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis for past questions. By determining the priority of analysis based on when questions and requests were submitted, it is possible to provide more appropriate analysis results. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the data on when questions and requests were submitted into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to determine the priority of analysis.

[0042] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of questions and requests during the analysis process. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of highly relevant questions. It can also postpone the analysis of less relevant questions. Furthermore, the analysis unit can dynamically adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of questions. This allows for the provision of more appropriate analysis results by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of questions and requests. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the relevance data of questions and requests into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to adjust the order of analysis.

[0043] The service provider can select the optimal display method by referring to the user's past usage history at the time of service provision.

The service provider can prioritize displaying relevant information based on the user's past usage history. The service provider can also analyze the user's past usage history and dynamically select the optimal display method. This allows the service provider to select the optimal display method by referring to the user's past usage history. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input the user's past usage history data into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to select the optimal display method.

[0044] The information delivery unit can customize the information based on the user's current lifestyle at the time of delivery. For example, if the user is interested in health, the unit can prioritize providing health-related information. If the user is planning a trip, the unit can prioritize providing travel-related information. The unit can also prioritize providing simple information if the user is busy. By customizing the information based on the user's lifestyle, it is possible to provide more relevant information. Some or all of the above processing in the information delivery unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the information delivery unit can input the user's lifestyle data into an AI model and customize the information using the AI ​​model.

[0045] The information provider can provide optimal information by considering the user's geographical location at the time of delivery. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the information provider can prioritize providing information related to that region. If the user is traveling, the information provider can prioritize providing information related to the travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the information provider can prioritize providing information relevant to the home. In this way, optimal information can be provided by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the information provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the information provider can input the user's geographical location data into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to provide optimal information.

[0046] The service provider can analyze the user's social media activity and provide relevant information at the time of delivery. For example, if the user posts health-related content on social media, the service provider can prioritize providing health-related information. If the user posts travel-related content, the service provider can prioritize providing travel-related information. Furthermore, if the user posts cooking-related content, the service provider can prioritize providing cooking-related information. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, relevant information can be prioritized. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input the user's social media activity data into an AI model and use the AI ​​model to provide relevant information.

[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0048] Entertainment AI services can not only provide answers and advice to user questions and requests, but also incorporate predictive capabilities based on the user's behavioral history. For example, if a user has frequently asked health-related questions in the past, the AI ​​can predict that the next question is likely to be health-related and prepare relevant information in advance. Similarly, if a user frequently asks travel-related questions, the AI ​​can gather information on the next travel destination in advance and suggest it before the user asks. Furthermore, if a user tends to ask questions at certain times of the day, the AI ​​can update the information accordingly and provide quicker answers. This allows the AI ​​to learn the user's behavioral patterns and provide faster and more accurate support.

[0049] Entertainment AI services not only provide answers and advice to user questions and requests, but can also adjust the timing of information delivery based on the user's daily routine. For example, if a user tends to ask health-related questions in the morning, health-related information can be prioritized during the morning hours. Similarly, if a user seeks information to help them relax at night, relaxation-related information can be provided during the evening hours. Furthermore, if a user tends to plan trips on weekends, travel-related information can be provided on weekends. This allows for information delivery tailored to the user's lifestyle, resulting in more effective support.

[0050] Entertainment AI services can not only provide answers and advice to user questions and requests, but also incorporate personalization features based on the user's past usage history. For example, they can suggest new recipes based on recipes the user has enjoyed using in the past. They can also suggest next travel destinations based on information about places the user has visited in the past. Furthermore, they can provide information tailored to the time of day the user has used the service in the past. This allows for the provision of more personalized services by leveraging the user's past usage history.

[0051] Entertainment AI services can not only provide answers and advice to user questions and requests, but also offer highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location. For example, if a user is in a specific region, it can prioritize providing information related to that region. If a user is traveling, it can prioritize providing information related to their travel destination. Furthermore, if a user is at home, it can prioritize providing information relevant to their home. This allows for the provision of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location.

[0052] Entertainment AI services can not only provide answers and advice to user questions and requests, but also analyze users' social media activity to provide relevant information. For example, if a user posts about health on social media, it can prioritize providing health-related information. If a user posts about travel, it can prioritize providing travel-related information. Similarly, if a user posts about cooking, it can prioritize providing cooking-related information. In this way, by analyzing a user's social media activity, it can prioritize providing relevant information.

[0053] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0054] Step 1: The reception desk receives user questions and requests. These questions and requests may include, for example, recipes for healthy meals or recommendations for places to visit on a future trip. The reception desk can receive user-entered questions and requests as text data, as well as via voice input. Furthermore, the reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions and requests based on those emotions. Step 2: The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the questions and requests received by the reception unit and generate appropriate answers and advice. The analysis unit can, for example, use a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate answers and advice to user questions and requests. It can also use natural language processing to analyze questions and requests and extract appropriate information from the database. Step 3: The service provider provides the answers and advice generated by the analysis unit. For example, the service provider displays the answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. It can also provide the user with recipes or travel destination information suggested by the generation AI.

[0055] (Example of form 2) An entertainment AI service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to provide individualized support for the daily problems and questions that each user faces. This system receives questions and requests from users, the generative AI analyzes those questions and requests, and provides accurate answers and advice. For example, it can solve problems and provide educational information in various areas, such as health, beauty, cooking advice, and travel planning support. This mechanism is expected to make it easier for individuals to solve problems and gather information, enabling each person to lead a more fulfilling daily life. First, the system receives questions and requests from users. At this time, the user inputs specific questions and requests. For example, the user may input questions or requests such as "I want to know some healthy meal recipes" or "I want to know some recommended spots for my next travel destination." This information is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input questions and requests. The generative AI understands the user's questions and requests and generates appropriate answers and advice. For example, in response to a question asking for healthy meal recipes, the generative AI suggests a nutritionally balanced recipe. Also, in response to a request for recommended spots for the next travel destination, the generative AI suggests tourist spots and activities at the travel destination. The generated answers and advice are provided to the user. For example, recipes or travel destination information suggested by the generating AI are displayed on the user's smartphone or personal computer. This allows users to easily obtain information and solve everyday problems and questions. This system makes personal problem-solving and information gathering more efficient. By utilizing the generating AI, users can obtain quick and accurate answers and advice. This is thought to enable each individual to lead a more fulfilling life. For example, by providing appropriate advice to health-related questions, the generating AI can help users lead healthier lives. Also, by receiving support for travel planning, users can enjoy more fulfilling trips. In this way, entertainment AI services can provide appropriate answers and advice to users' questions and requests.

[0056] The entertainment AI service according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives questions and requests from the user. User questions and requests include, but are not limited to, requests such as "Please tell me a recipe for a healthy meal" or "Please tell me recommended spots for my next travel destination." The reception unit receives questions and requests entered by the user as text data, for example. The reception unit can also receive questions and requests from the user using voice input. For example, the user dictates a question or request using a microphone, and the reception unit converts that voice data into text data. Furthermore, the reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions and requests based on the estimated emotions of the user. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, questions and requests may be received at a time when they can relax. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the questions and requests received by the reception unit and generate appropriate answers and advice. The analysis unit uses, for example, a generation AI to understand the user's questions and requests and generate appropriate answers and advice. The generation AI generates answers and advice to user questions and requests, for example, using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The analysis unit can also analyze questions and requests using natural language processing and extract appropriate information from a database. For example, when the generation AI suggests a healthy meal recipe, it extracts a nutritionally balanced recipe from the database and provides it to the user. The provision unit provides the answers and advice generated by the analysis unit. The provision unit displays the answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. The provision unit can also provide the user with recipes and travel destination information suggested by the generation AI. For example, it can display a recipe suggested by the generation AI on the user's smartphone so that the user can check the recipe. In this way, the entertainment AI service according to the embodiment can provide appropriate answers and advice to user questions and requests. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, and provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.For example, the reception department can input user questions and requests into an AI model, the analysis department can analyze the questions and requests using the AI ​​model, and the service department can provide answers and advice generated using the AI ​​model.

[0057] The reception desk receives user questions and requests. These questions and requests may include, but are not limited to, requests for healthy meal recipes or recommendations for places to visit on a future trip. The reception desk can, for example, receive user-entered questions and requests as text data. Specifically, it can receive text data entered by users through smartphone or personal computer interfaces in real time. The reception desk can also accept user questions and requests using voice input. For example, a user might dictate a question or request using a microphone, and the reception desk converts that voice data into text. Using speech recognition technology, the reception desk can accurately transcribe user speech, enabling smooth interaction. Furthermore, the reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving questions and requests based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a user is feeling stressed, the reception desk can accept questions and requests during times when the user is likely to relax. Emotion estimation can utilize technologies that analyze voice tone, text content, and even the user's facial expressions. This allows for flexible responses tailored to the user's psychological state, enabling a more personalized service. The reception desk integrates these functions and provides a powerful interface to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0058] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze questions and requests received by the reception unit and generate appropriate answers and advice. For example, the generative AI understands the user's questions and requests and generates appropriate answers and advice. The generative AI uses, for example, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate answers and advice to the user's questions and requests. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the user's input text and generates the optimal answer based on its content. For example, if a user inputs "I want a recipe for a healthy meal," the generative AI will suggest a recipe that takes into account nutritional balance, calories, and types of ingredients. The analysis unit can also use natural language processing to analyze questions and requests and extract appropriate information from the database. For example, when the generative AI suggests a healthy meal recipe, it extracts a nutritionally balanced recipe from the database and provides it to the user. Furthermore, the analysis unit can generate more personalized answers based on the user's past questions, requests, and usage history. For example, if it is known that the user has liked a particular ingredient in the past, it will prioritize suggesting recipes that include that ingredient. This allows the analysis unit to provide highly accurate answers and advice tailored to the user's needs.

[0059] The service provider provides answers and advice generated by the analysis unit. For example, the service provider displays answers and advice generated by the generation AI on the user's smartphone or personal computer. Specifically, the generated answers and advice are displayed on the screen of the user's device in the form of text, images, videos, etc. The service provider can also provide users with recipes and travel destination information suggested by the generation AI. For example, it can display recipes suggested by the generation AI on the user's smartphone, allowing the user to review them. Furthermore, the service provider can collect user feedback and send it to the analysis unit in order to provide information tailored to the user's preferences. For example, the user can evaluate the suggested recipes, and the analysis unit can use that evaluation to improve future suggestions. The service provider can also monitor user usage and provide information at the appropriate time. For example, if a user tends to search for recipes at a specific time of day, the service provider can suggest new recipes to match that time. In this way, the service provider can always provide users with the most optimal information and improve user satisfaction.

[0060] The analysis unit can analyze questions and requests using generative AI and generate appropriate answers and advice. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to understand the user's questions and requests and generate appropriate answers and advice. The generative AI uses, for example, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate answers and advice to the user's questions and requests. The analysis unit can also use natural language processing to analyze questions and requests and extract appropriate information from a database. For example, when the generative AI suggests a healthy meal recipe, it extracts a nutritionally balanced recipe from the database and provides it to the user. This improves the accuracy of question and request analysis by using generative AI. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's questions and requests into an AI model, use the AI ​​model to analyze the questions and requests, and generate appropriate answers and advice.

[0093] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0094] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. 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 with 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 from 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.

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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

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.).

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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).

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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, and provision 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 receive user questions and requests using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the questions and requests using generation AI and generates appropriate answers and advice. The provision unit can provide the generated answers and advice to the user using the speaker 240 of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.
