Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The contract management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes documents related to agency agreements using multimodal AI and automatically detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations. The contract management system analyzes documents related to agency agreements, detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations, and generates a visually easy-to-understand report. For example, the contract management system analyzes documents such as contracts, commission details, and incentive setting documents. In this process, the AI ​​analyzes the contents of the documents in detail and understands the content of each item. For example, it analyzes the clauses of the contract, the amounts in the commission details, and the incentive setting conditions. This allows for an accurate understanding of the document's content. Next, the contract management system automatically detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations from the analyzed data. Based on the analyzed data, the AI ​​checks the contract details, commission calculations, incentive setting conditions, etc. For example, it checks whether the clauses of the contract and the amounts in the commission details match, and whether the incentive setting conditions are accurately reflected. This allows for the automatic detection of inconsistencies and misconfigurations. Finally, the contract management system generates a visually easy-to-understand report. The AI ​​generates a visually easy-to-understand report based on the detected inconsistencies and misconfigurations. For example, outliers and discrepancies can be displayed in graphs and dashboards, allowing personnel to quickly identify problems. This enables agency personnel to quickly understand and resolve issues. This reduces the risk of incorrect or unpaid commissions and alleviates the burden of verification work. It also makes it easier to grasp the overall picture, which can be scattered, and improves operational efficiency. For example, personnel in the agency management department who are spending a lot of time on commission calculations and contract management can improve the efficiency of their work by using this system. Furthermore, with the advancement of digital transformation, the demand for contract management and automation tools is increasing, making this system extremely useful. For example, thousands of professionals in a domestic telecommunications carrier and its agency network can improve operational efficiency by using this system. In this way, the contract content analysis service utilizing multimodal AI reduces the risk of incorrect or unpaid commissions in agency management, alleviates the burden of verification work, and improves operational efficiency.This allows the contract management system to analyze documents related to agency agreements, detect inconsistencies and misconfigurations, and generate visually easy-to-understand reports.

[0029] The contract management system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a detection unit, and a report generation unit. The analysis unit analyzes documents. The analysis unit analyzes documents such as contracts, fee statements, and incentive setting documents. The analysis unit analyzes the contents of the documents in detail and understands the contents of each item. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the clauses of the contract, the amounts in the fee statements, and the incentive setting conditions. This allows for an accurate understanding of the contents of the documents. The detection unit detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations from the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The detection unit checks, for example, the contract details, fee calculations, and incentive setting conditions. For example, the detection unit verifies whether the clauses of the contract and the amounts in the fee statements match, and whether the incentive setting conditions are accurately reflected. This allows for the automatic detection of inconsistencies and misconfigurations. The report generation unit generates a visual report based on the inconsistencies and misconfigurations detected by the detection unit. The report generation unit displays anomalies and inconsistencies, for example, in graphs and dashboards. The report generation unit generates a visual report so that the person in charge can quickly identify the problem. This enables the contract management system to analyze documents, detect inconsistencies and misconfigurations, and generate visual reports. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit, detection unit, and report generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input documents such as contracts, fee statements, and incentive setting documents into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform analysis of the document content. The detection unit can input the data analyzed by the analysis unit into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform detection of inconsistencies and misconfigurations. The report generation unit can have the generation AI generate a visual report based on the inconsistencies and misconfigurations detected by the detection unit.

[0030] The analysis unit analyzes documents. For example, it analyzes documents such as contracts, fee statements, and incentive setting documents. The analysis unit analyzes the document content in detail, understanding the content of each item. Specifically, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the document text and extract contract clauses, fee statement amounts, and incentive setting conditions. For example, regarding contract clauses, it identifies the headings and content of each clause and understands the relationships between clauses. Regarding fee statements, it analyzes the amounts and calculation methods of each item to perform accurate fee calculations. Regarding incentive setting documents, it analyzes the setting conditions, target recipients, and payment amounts to clarify the conditions for applying incentives. This allows the analysis unit to accurately understand the document content and provide the data necessary for subsequent processing. Furthermore, the analysis unit can improve analysis accuracy by utilizing past document data as training data. For example, by analyzing past contracts and fee statements and learning common patterns and outliers, it can improve the analysis accuracy of new documents. Furthermore, the analysis unit is independent of the document format and language, and can handle multilingual documents and documents in different formats. This allows the analysis unit to efficiently analyze various types of documents, improving the overall flexibility and versatility of the system.

[0031] The detection unit detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations from the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the detection unit checks contract details, fee calculations, and incentive setting conditions. Specifically, it verifies whether the contract clauses and fee details match, and whether the incentive setting conditions are accurately reflected. For instance, it verifies whether the fee rate stated in the contract clauses matches the amount stated in the fee details, and issues a warning if they differ. It also verifies whether the incentive setting conditions described in the setting documents accurately reflect the actual data, and reports any discrepancies. By automating these checks, the detection unit prevents manual errors and efficiently detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations. Furthermore, the detection unit utilizes AI-based anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data. For example, it learns normal patterns based on past data and detects abnormal values ​​in new data. The detection unit also monitors data in real time and can immediately notify if an anomaly occurs. This allows the detection unit to quickly and accurately detect inconsistencies and misconfigurations, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.

[0032] The report generation unit generates visual reports based on the inconsistencies and misconfigurations detected by the detection unit. For example, the report generation unit displays anomalies and inconsistencies using graphs and dashboards. Specifically, the report generation unit uses various graph formats such as bar graphs, pie charts, and heatmaps to visually display detected inconsistencies and misconfigurations in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, inconsistencies between contract clauses and fee details are displayed using a bar graph, allowing users to see at a glance which items are inconsistent. Similarly, for misconfigurations of incentive setting conditions, a pie chart is used to visually display the application status of each condition, identifying problematic conditions. Furthermore, the report generation unit uses a dashboard to consolidate multiple graphs and charts onto a single screen, enabling users to quickly identify problems. The dashboard displays data updated in real time, allowing users to always stay informed of the latest situation. By generating these visual reports, the report generation unit provides users with the information necessary to quickly identify problems and take appropriate action. Additionally, the report generation unit has a function to export generated reports in formats such as PDF and Excel, making it easy for users to share and save reports. This allows the report generation unit to improve the overall transparency and efficiency of the system through visual reports.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The contract management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes documents related to agency agreements using multimodal AI and automatically detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations. The contract management system analyzes documents related to agency agreements, detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations, and generates a visually easy-to-understand report. For example, the contract management system analyzes documents such as contracts, commission details, and incentive setting documents. In this process, the AI ​​analyzes the contents of the documents in detail and understands the content of each item. For example, it analyzes the clauses of the contract, the amounts in the commission details, and the incentive setting conditions. This allows for an accurate understanding of the document's content. Next, the contract management system automatically detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations from the analyzed data. Based on the analyzed data, the AI ​​checks the contract details, commission calculations, incentive setting conditions, etc. For example, it checks whether the clauses of the contract and the amounts in the commission details match, and whether the incentive setting conditions are accurately reflected. This allows for the automatic detection of inconsistencies and misconfigurations. Finally, the contract management system generates a visually easy-to-understand report. The AI ​​generates a visually easy-to-understand report based on the detected inconsistencies and misconfigurations. For example, outliers and discrepancies can be displayed in graphs and dashboards, allowing personnel to quickly identify problems.

It also makes it easier to grasp the overall picture, which can be scattered, and improves operational efficiency. For example, personnel in the agency management department who are spending a lot of time on commission calculations and contract management can improve the efficiency of their work by using this system. Furthermore, with the advancement of digital transformation, the demand for contract management and automation tools is increasing, making this system extremely useful. For example, thousands of professionals in a domestic telecommunications carrier and its agency network can improve operational efficiency by using this system. In this way, the contract content analysis service utilizing multimodal AI reduces the risk of incorrect or unpaid commissions in agency management, alleviates the burden of verification work, and improves operational efficiency.This allows the contract management system to analyze documents related to agency agreements, detect inconsistencies and misconfigurations, and generate visually easy-to-understand reports.

[0059] The contract management system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a detection unit, and a report generation unit. The analysis unit analyzes documents.

For instance, it verifies whether the fee rate stated in the contract clauses matches the amount stated in the fee details, and issues a warning if they differ. It also verifies whether the incentive setting conditions described in the setting documents accurately reflect the actual data, and reports any discrepancies. By automating these checks, the detection unit prevents manual errors and efficiently detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations. Furthermore, the detection unit utilizes AI-based anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data. For example, it learns normal patterns based on past data and detects abnormal values ​​in new data.

This allows the detection unit to quickly and accurately detect inconsistencies and misconfigurations, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.

[0062] The report generation unit generates visual reports based on the inconsistencies and misconfigurations detected by the detection unit. For example, the report generation unit displays anomalies and inconsistencies using graphs and dashboards. Specifically, the report generation unit uses various graph formats such as bar graphs, pie charts, and heatmaps to visually display detected inconsistencies and misconfigurations in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, inconsistencies between contract clauses and fee details are displayed using a bar graph, allowing users to see at a glance which items are inconsistent. Similarly, for misconfigurations of incentive setting conditions, a pie chart is used to visually display the application status of each condition, identifying problematic conditions. Furthermore, the report generation unit uses a dashboard to consolidate multiple graphs and charts onto a single screen, enabling users to quickly identify problems. The dashboard displays data updated in real time, allowing users to always stay informed of the latest situation. By generating these visual reports, the report generation unit provides users with the information necessary to quickly identify problems and take appropriate action. Additionally, the report generation unit has a function to export generated reports in formats such as PDF and Excel, making it easy for users to share and save reports.

The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0143] 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.

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.

[0149] 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.

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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, detection unit, and report generation unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 and analyzes documents such as contracts and fee statements. The detection unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and detects inconsistencies and misconfigurations from the analyzed data. The report generation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and generates a report that is easy to understand visually. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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."

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.
