If the funeral home staff is relaxed, the emotion estimation unit may also proceed with negotiations immediately. If the funeral home staff is stressed, the emotion estimation unit may slightly delay negotiations. This allows for more appropriate negotiations by adjusting the timing of negotiations according to the emotions of the funeral home staff. Emotion estimation is achieved using, for example, 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-described processes in the emotion estimation unit may be performed using generative AI or not. For example, the emotion estimation unit can input the emotional data of the funeral home staff into a generative AI to estimate emotions and adjust the timing of negotiations.

[0133] The automated procedural system further includes an emotion estimation unit. The emotion estimation unit can estimate the emotions of government officials and adjust the timing of submissions based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the government official is busy, the emotion estimation unit may postpone the submission. If the government official is relaxed, the emotion estimation unit may submit immediately. If the government official is stressed, the emotion estimation unit may slightly delay the submission. This allows for more appropriate submissions by adjusting the timing of submissions according to the emotions of the government official. Emotion estimation is achieved using, for example, 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 emotion estimation unit may be performed using or without generative AI. For example, the emotion estimation unit can input government official emotion data into a generative AI to estimate emotions and adjust the timing of submissions.

[0134] The automated procedure system further includes an emotion estimation unit. The emotion estimation unit can estimate the emotions of the heirs and adjust the progress of the inheritance procedure based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the emotion estimation unit is sad, it may slightly delay the inheritance procedure. If the heir is busy, it may also adjust the inheritance procedure to coincide with the end of their workday. If the heir is relaxed, it may proceed with the inheritance procedure immediately. This allows for a more appropriate procedure by adjusting the progress of the inheritance procedure according to the emotions of the heirs. Emotion estimation is achieved using, for example, 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-described processes in the emotion estimation unit may be performed using or without generative AI. For example, the emotion estimation unit can input the heir's emotion data into a generative AI to estimate emotions and adjust the progress of the inheritance procedure.

[0135] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0136] Step 1: The contact department contacts acquaintances and relatives. The contact department can, for example, automatically contact acquaintances and relatives based on a contact list. The contact department can, for example, make contacts using phone calls, emails, or messaging apps. The contact department can use a generation AI to automatically make contacts based on a contact list. Step 2: The selection unit selects a funeral service provider. The selection unit, for example, collects information on local funeral service providers and proposes the most suitable provider. The selection unit can make selections based on factors such as price, services offered, and customer reviews. The selection unit can use generative AI to collect information on local funeral service providers and propose the most suitable provider. Step 3: The submission unit handles the submission of the death certificate and the application for cremation permit. The submission unit automatically generates the necessary documents and supports their submission to the government office. The submission unit can, for example, submit documents online or by mail. The submission unit can use generation AI to automatically generate the necessary documents and support their submission to the government office. Step 4: The management department manages the funeral schedule and makes necessary arrangements. For example, the management department can make venue reservations, send invitations to attendees, and arrange for funeral flowers. The management department can use generative AI to manage the funeral schedule and make necessary arrangements. Step 5: The support department assists with health insurance and pension procedures. The support department assists with administrative procedures such as filing notifications of loss of eligibility for health insurance and employee pension insurance, suspension of employee pension benefits, suspension of national pension benefits, and notification of change of head of household on the resident register. The support department can use AI generation to assist with health insurance and pension procedures. Step 6: The Inheritance Department provides support for inheritance procedures. For example, the Inheritance Department assists with finding and probating wills, investigating and identifying heirs, investigating inherited assets, considering and processing inheritance renunciation and limited acceptance, estate division, and real estate title transfer. The Inheritance Department can also support inheritance procedures using AI generation.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.).

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] Each of the multiple elements mentioned above, including the communication unit, selection unit, submission unit, management unit, support unit, and inheritance unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the communication unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and automatically contacts acquaintances and relatives based on a contact list. The selection unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and collects information on local funeral service providers and proposes the most suitable one. The submission unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and automatically creates the necessary documents and supports their submission to government offices. The management unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and manages the funeral schedule and makes the necessary arrangements. The support unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and supports procedures for health insurance and pensions. The inheritance unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and supports procedures related to inheritance. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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."

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.
