Some or all of the above processing in the advice unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the advice unit can input the user's geographical location into the AI, which can then provide optimal advice.

[0096] The advice unit can analyze the user's social media activity and provide relevant advice when providing advice. For example, the advice unit can provide relevant advice based on information the user has shared on social media. It can also provide relevant advice based on information about accounts the user follows on social media. For example, the advice unit can provide relevant advice based on information about groups the user participates in on social media. In this way, the advice unit can provide relevant advice by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the advice unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the advice unit can input the user's social media activity into AI, and the AI ​​can provide relevant advice.

[0097] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0098] The reception desk can translate user input in real time, enabling multilingual support. For example, it can translate user input in Japanese into English, allowing them to consult with an English-speaking expert. It can also translate user input in English into Japanese, allowing them to consult with a Japanese-speaking expert. Furthermore, the reception desk can simultaneously translate user input into multiple languages, gathering opinions from multiple experts. This allows the reception desk to support users in smoothly conducting multilingual consultations.

[0099] The analysis unit can automatically generate templates for relevant legal documents and contracts based on user input. For example, if a user enters details of a dispute, the analysis unit will generate an appropriate contract template based on that information. The analysis unit can also automatically fill in the necessary fields of legal documents based on the information entered by the user. Furthermore, the analysis unit can provide the generated documents to the user, allowing for modifications and additions as needed. This enables the analysis unit to support users in quickly creating legal documents.

[0100] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the tone of the information provided based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, the service provider can provide information in a gentle tone to reassure the user. If the user is feeling angry, the service provider can provide information in a calm and objective tone to soothe the user's emotions. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the service provider can provide information in a casual tone to create a friendly atmosphere. In this way, the service provider can provide information in an appropriate tone according to the user's emotions.

[0101] The advisory unit can analyze users' past behavioral patterns, predict future problems, and provide advice in advance. For example, it can analyze problems users have frequently encountered in the past and issue warnings if similar problems are likely to occur again. The advisory unit can also suggest preventative measures based on users' behavioral patterns. Furthermore, the advisory unit can provide advice about potential problems that users might cause before they take a particular action. In this way, the advisory unit can support users in preventing problems before they occur.

[0102] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and dynamically adjust the input verification process based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reception desk can simplify the verification process to allow for quicker verification. If the user is relaxed, it can provide a more detailed verification process to allow for careful review. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can prioritize displaying only the most important verification items to enable quick verification. In this way, the reception desk can provide an appropriate verification process tailored to the user's emotions.

[0103] The analysis unit can automatically collect opinions from relevant experts based on user input and incorporate them into the analysis results. For example, if a user inputs a legal issue, the analysis unit can collect opinions from legal experts and incorporate them into the analysis results. Similarly, if a user inputs a medical issue, it can collect opinions from medical experts and incorporate them into the analysis results. Furthermore, if a user inputs a technical issue, it can collect opinions from technical experts and incorporate them into the analysis results. By incorporating expert opinions, the analysis unit can provide more reliable analysis results.

[0104] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the format of the information provided based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the service provider can provide information using visually easy-to-understand graphs and diagrams. If the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed text information, allowing the user to read it carefully. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide information summarized in bullet points for quick comprehension. In this way, the service provider can deliver information in an appropriate format according to the user's emotions.

[0105] The advice section can provide information on relevant communities and support groups based on user input. For example, if a user seeks advice on a specific problem, the advice section can provide information on online communities and support groups related to that problem. Similarly, if a user seeks advice on a specific illness, it can provide information on patient support groups related to that illness. Furthermore, if a user seeks advice on a legal issue, it can provide information on forums where legal professionals participate. This allows the advice section to enable users to receive additional support from relevant communities and support groups.

[0106] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method of the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the analysis unit can provide notifications in a simple and easy-to-understand format so that the user can understand them immediately. If the user is relaxed, it can provide notifications that include detailed analysis results so that the user can carefully review the content. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide notifications that summarize the key points concisely so that the user can understand them quickly. In this way, the analysis unit can provide appropriate notification methods according to the user's emotions.

[0107] The service provider can suggest relevant educational resources and training programs based on user input. For example, if a user seeks advice on acquiring a specific skill, the service provider can suggest online courses or training programs related to that skill. If a user wants to learn how to solve a specific problem, the service provider can also provide educational resources related to that problem. Furthermore, if a user seeks advice on career advancement, the service provider can provide information on relevant seminars and workshops. In this way, the service provider can support users in acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills.

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

[0109] Step 1: The reception desk receives information entered by the user. This information includes text, image, and audio information. The reception desk receives text information through an input form, image information using a camera or scanner, and audio information using a microphone. Furthermore, the reception desk converts the text information entered by the user into a format that is easy to analyze, converts image information into text using OCR technology, and converts audio information into text using speech recognition technology. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. The analysis unit uses data mining technology, natural language processing technology, and machine learning algorithms to analyze the information and derive the optimal solution based on the input information. Step 3: The service provider provides solutions based on the information analyzed by the analysis provider. The service provider provides instructions, contact information, first aid methods, how to contact the police, how to take photos of the damage, and how to check the coverage of car insurance and fire insurance, to support users in calmly dealing with problems when they face them. Step 4: The Advice Department provides advice based on past cases and the information provided by the Service Provider. The Advice Department refers to past cases to advise on future actions, provides advice to reduce damage caused by incorrect or intentional misinformation, and supports users so that they can calmly deal with problems when they face them.

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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0159] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0160] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0161] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0162] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and advice unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit receives user voice information using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the information using data mining technology and natural language processing technology. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and provides a course of action based on the analyzed information. The advice unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and provides advice based on past cases. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0163] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0164] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0165] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0166] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0167] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0168] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0169] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0170] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0171] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0172] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0173] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0174] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0175] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0176] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0177] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0178] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
