[0028] (Example of form 1) The communication plan suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a new service for solving the challenges individual users face in selecting communication plans. This communication plan suggestion system utilizes generative AI to analyze data on the user's past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle, and provides an optimal communication plan tailored to individual needs. Furthermore, even if communication patterns change during use, the AI dynamically suggests plan changes, ensuring that the user always maintains the optimal plan. This service maximizes the use of robust communication infrastructure and customer data to provide users with simple and effective communication plan selection, thereby improving customer satisfaction, reducing churn rates, promoting migration to high-profit plans, and contributing to increased revenue. For example, it collects data on the user's past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle. For instance, it collects detailed data such as which apps the user uses, how often, and call and data usage. This data is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the collected data to identify the user's communication patterns and needs. For example, if a user frequently uses video streaming, the AI determines that a plan with high data usage is suitable for that user. In this way, the generative AI suggests the optimal communication plan to the user. Furthermore, if communication patterns change during use, the generating AI dynamically suggests plan changes. For example, if a user starts frequently using a new app, the AI will suggest a plan change based on the data usage of that app. This ensures that users always have access to the optimal communication plan. This service leverages robust communication infrastructure and customer data to provide users with a simple and effective communication plan selection. For instance, it utilizes communication infrastructure to provide a high-quality communication environment and customer data to suggest plans tailored to user needs. This improves customer satisfaction, reduces churn rates, and promotes migration to high-profit plans, contributing to increased revenue. This system allows users to easily select the communication plan best suited to them, reducing wasted communication costs. It also flexibly adapts to changes in communication patterns, ensuring users always have access to the optimal plan.For example, if a user starts frequently using a new app, the service can suggest changing their plan based on the data usage of that app, thereby reducing wasted communication costs. This service not only provides users with a simple and effective communication plan selection, but also contributes to increased revenue for telecommunications carriers. For instance, improved customer satisfaction reduces churn rates, and the shift to higher-profit plans is encouraged, leading to increased revenue. In this way, a service that benefits both users and telecommunications carriers can be provided. As a result, the communication plan suggestion system can provide the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication history and usage, and can flexibly adapt to changes in communication patterns.
[0029] The communication plan proposal system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a change proposal unit. The collection unit collects data on the user's past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle. For example, the collection unit collects detailed data such as which apps the user uses and how often, and the amount of calls and data communication used. For example, the collection unit records the types and frequency of apps used by the user. The collection unit can also record the user's call history and data communication volume. Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect data on the user's lifestyle. For example, it collects data on the user's hobbies, interests, and daily behavior patterns. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to identify the user's communication patterns and needs. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze the collected data. The generative AI analyzes the user's communication history and app usage to identify the user's communication patterns. The analysis unit can also use the generative AI to identify needs based on the user's lifestyle. For example, the generative AI proposes an optimal communication plan based on the user's hobbies and interests. The proposal unit proposes the optimal communication plan based on the needs identified by the analysis unit. The proposal unit proposes the optimal communication plan to the user, for example, using a generative AI. The generative AI selects the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication patterns and needs, for example. The proposal unit can also use the generative AI to propose plan changes to the user. For example, if a user starts using a new app frequently, the proposal unit will propose a plan change according to the data usage of that app. The change proposal unit dynamically proposes plan changes when changes in communication patterns occur during use. The change proposal unit detects changes in the user's communication patterns and proposes the optimal plan change, for example. The change proposal unit detects changes in the user's communication patterns in real time, for example, using AI. The change proposal unit can also use AI to propose plan changes in response to changes in the user's communication patterns. As a result, the communication plan proposal system according to the embodiment provides the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication history and usage status, and can flexibly respond to changes in communication patterns.
[0030] The data collection unit collects data on users' past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle. Specifically, it collects detailed data such as which apps users use, how often they use them, and their call and data usage. For example, to record the types and frequency of apps used by users, it analyzes smartphone app usage logs and records the launch time and usage time of each app in detail. The data collection unit can also record users' call history and data usage. This includes the number of calls made and received, call duration, and data usage. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect data on users' lifestyles. For example, to collect data on users' hobbies, interests, and daily behavior patterns, it collects information such as events users attend, places they visit, newsletters they subscribe to, and social media accounts they follow. This allows the data collection unit to comprehensively collect diverse user behavior data and gain a detailed understanding of users' communication patterns and lifestyles. In addition, the data collection unit centrally manages this data and makes it accessible to the analysis and proposal units. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server, allowing the analysis and proposal units to access it in real time. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by the data collection unit to identify user communication patterns and needs. This analysis uses generative AI to process data in real time and identify user communication patterns. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes user communication history and app usage to identify which apps users use most frequently at what times, call frequency, and peak data communication times. The generative AI can also identify needs based on user lifestyles. For example, it analyzes the content of websites frequently accessed and newsletters subscribed to by users to suggest optimal communication plans based on their hobbies and interests. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistics to predict long-term fluctuations and trends in communication patterns. For instance, it can predict fluctuations in communication volume during specific seasons or events based on past communication data, optimizing future communication plans. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual communication patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only understand the situation in real time but also manage long-term communication patterns and detect anomalies, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.
[0032] The proposal department proposes the optimal communication plan based on the needs identified by the analysis department. Specifically, it uses generative AI to propose the best communication plan for the user. The generative AI compares multiple communication plans to select the optimal plan based on the user's communication patterns and needs, and selects the plan that best suits the user's usage. For example, if a user uses a lot of data, it will propose a plan with a large data allowance, and if a user makes a lot of calls, it will propose a plan with a large call time. The proposal department can also use generative AI to suggest plan changes to users. For example, if a user starts using a new app frequently, it will suggest changing the plan according to the data usage of that app. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can monitor user satisfaction with the proposed plan and actual usage, and reflect this in future suggestions. The proposal department can also simulate multiple communication plans and propose the plan that offers the best cost performance for the user. In this way, the proposal department can provide users with the optimal communication plan, helping them reduce communication costs and improve usage efficiency.
[0033] The Change Proposal Department dynamically proposes plan changes when communication patterns change during use. Specifically, it uses AI to detect changes in the user's communication patterns in real time and propose the optimal plan change. For example, if a user starts using a new app frequently, it will propose a plan change based on the data usage of that app. It can also propose the optimal plan for a period when a user's communication patterns temporarily change due to travel or business trips. Furthermore, the Change Proposal Department continuously monitors changes in the user's communication patterns and proposes plan changes as needed. For example, if a user's data usage increases sharply, it will propose a change to a plan with higher data usage, and if call time increases, it will propose a change to a plan with higher call time. The Change Proposal Department can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. For example, it monitors user satisfaction with proposed plan changes and actual usage, and reflects this in future proposals. This allows the Change Proposal Department to flexibly respond to changes in the user's communication patterns and provide the optimal communication plan. In addition, the Change Proposal Department can also propose long-term plan changes in response to changes in the user's lifestyle and communication needs. This allows the change proposal department to provide users with the most suitable plan for their communication needs, helping them reduce communication costs and improve utilization efficiency.
[0034] The data collection unit can collect detailed data such as which apps a user uses and how often, as well as call and data usage. For example, the data collection unit can record which apps a user uses and how often. It can also record the user's call history and data usage. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect data related to the user's lifestyle. For example, it can collect data on the user's hobbies, interests, and daily behavior patterns. This allows for a detailed understanding of the user's usage and enables more accurate analysis. Detailed data includes, but is not limited to, app usage frequency, call duration, and data usage. Some or all of the processing described above in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not.

[0036] The proposal unit can propose the optimal communication plan to the user using generative AI. For example, the proposal unit uses generative AI to propose the optimal communication plan to the user. The generative AI selects the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication patterns and needs, for example. The proposal unit can also use generative AI to suggest plan changes to the user. For example, if a user starts using a new app frequently, the proposal unit can suggest changing the plan according to the data usage of that app. In this way, the optimal communication plan can be proposed to the user using generative AI. The optimal communication plan includes, but is not limited to, price plans, data usage, and call time. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit is performed using generative AI. For example, the proposal unit inputs the user's communication pattern data into the generative AI, and the generative AI analyzes the data and proposes the optimal communication plan.
[0037] The change suggestion unit can suggest a plan change based on the data usage of a new app if the user starts using that app frequently. For example, if the user starts using a new app frequently, the change suggestion unit can analyze the data usage of that app and suggest the optimal plan change. The change suggestion unit can also detect changes in the user's communication patterns and suggest the optimal plan change. For example, if the user starts using a new app frequently, it can suggest a plan change based on the data usage of that app. This allows for the suggestion of the optimal plan change in response to changes in the user's usage. Examples of new apps include, but are not limited to, the release date and the user's installation date.

[0064] (Example of form 2) The communication plan suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a new service for solving the challenges individual users face in selecting communication plans. This communication plan suggestion system utilizes generative AI to analyze data on the user's past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle, and provides an optimal communication plan tailored to individual needs. Furthermore, even if communication patterns change during use, the AI dynamically suggests plan changes, ensuring that the user always maintains the optimal plan.

For example, it collects data on the user's past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle. For instance, it collects detailed data such as which apps the user uses, how often, and call and data usage. This data is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the collected data to identify the user's communication patterns and needs. For example, if a user frequently uses video streaming, the AI determines that a plan with high data usage is suitable for that user. In this way, the generative AI suggests the optimal communication plan to the user. Furthermore, if communication patterns change during use, the generating AI dynamically suggests plan changes. For example, if a user starts frequently using a new app, the AI will suggest a plan change based on the data usage of that app. This ensures that users always have access to the optimal communication plan. This service leverages robust communication infrastructure and customer data to provide users with a simple and effective communication plan selection. For instance, it utilizes communication infrastructure to provide a high-quality communication environment and customer data to suggest plans tailored to user needs. This improves customer satisfaction, reduces churn rates, and promotes migration to high-profit plans, contributing to increased revenue. This system allows users to easily select the communication plan best suited to them, reducing wasted communication costs. It also flexibly adapts to changes in communication patterns, ensuring users always have access to the optimal plan.For example, if a user starts frequently using a new app, the service can suggest changing their plan based on the data usage of that app, thereby reducing wasted communication costs. This service not only provides users with a simple and effective communication plan selection, but also contributes to increased revenue for telecommunications carriers. For instance, improved customer satisfaction reduces churn rates, and the shift to higher-profit plans is encouraged, leading to increased revenue. In this way, a service that benefits both users and telecommunications carriers can be provided. As a result, the communication plan suggestion system can provide the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication history and usage, and can flexibly adapt to changes in communication patterns.
[0065] The communication plan proposal system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a change proposal unit.

Furthermore, the collection unit can also collect data on the user's lifestyle. For example, it collects data on the user's hobbies, interests, and daily behavior patterns. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to identify the user's communication patterns and needs. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze the collected data. The generative AI analyzes the user's communication history and app usage to identify the user's communication patterns. The analysis unit can also use the generative AI to identify needs based on the user's lifestyle. For example, the generative AI proposes an optimal communication plan based on the user's hobbies and interests. The proposal unit proposes the optimal communication plan based on the needs identified by the analysis unit. The proposal unit proposes the optimal communication plan to the user, for example, using a generative AI. The generative AI selects the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication patterns and needs, for example. The proposal unit can also use the generative AI to propose plan changes to the user. For example, if a user starts using a new app frequently, the proposal unit will propose a plan change according to the data usage of that app. The change proposal unit dynamically proposes plan changes when changes in communication patterns occur during use. The change proposal unit detects changes in the user's communication patterns and proposes the optimal plan change, for example. The change proposal unit detects changes in the user's communication patterns in real time, for example, using AI. The change proposal unit can also use AI to propose plan changes in response to changes in the user's communication patterns. As a result, the communication plan proposal system according to the embodiment provides the optimal communication plan based on the user's communication history and usage status, and can flexibly respond to changes in communication patterns.
[0066] The data collection unit collects data on users' past communication history, app usage, and lifestyle. Specifically, it collects detailed data such as which apps users use, how often they use them, and their call and data usage. For example, to record the types and frequency of apps used by users, it analyzes smartphone app usage logs and records the launch time and usage time of each app in detail. The data collection unit can also record users' call history and data usage. This includes the number of calls made and received, call duration, and data usage. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect data on users' lifestyles. For example, to collect data on users' hobbies, interests, and daily behavior patterns, it collects information such as events users attend, places they visit, newsletters they subscribe to, and social media accounts they follow. This allows the data collection unit to comprehensively collect diverse user behavior data and gain a detailed understanding of users' communication patterns and lifestyles. In addition, the data collection unit centrally manages this data and makes it accessible to the analysis and proposal units. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server, allowing the analysis and proposal units to access it in real time. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.

The generative AI can also identify needs based on user lifestyles. For example, it analyzes the content of websites frequently accessed and newsletters subscribed to by users to suggest optimal communication plans based on their hobbies and interests. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistics to predict long-term fluctuations and trends in communication patterns. For instance, it can predict fluctuations in communication volume during specific seasons or events based on past communication data, optimizing future communication plans. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual communication patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only understand the situation in real time but also manage long-term communication patterns and detect anomalies, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.
[0068] The proposal department proposes the optimal communication plan based on the needs identified by the analysis department. Specifically, it uses generative AI to propose the best communication plan for the user. The generative AI compares multiple communication plans to select the optimal plan based on the user's communication patterns and needs, and selects the plan that best suits the user's usage. For example, if a user uses a lot of data, it will propose a plan with a large data allowance, and if a user makes a lot of calls, it will propose a plan with a large call time. The proposal department can also use generative AI to suggest plan changes to users. For example, if a user starts using a new app frequently, it will suggest changing the plan according to the data usage of that app. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can monitor user satisfaction with the proposed plan and actual usage, and reflect this in future suggestions. The proposal department can also simulate multiple communication plans and propose the plan that offers the best cost performance for the user. In this way, the proposal department can provide users with the optimal communication plan, helping them reduce communication costs and improve usage efficiency.

Furthermore, the Change Proposal Department continuously monitors changes in the user's communication patterns and proposes plan changes as needed. For example, if a user's data usage increases sharply, it will propose a change to a plan with higher data usage, and if call time increases, it will propose a change to a plan with higher call time. The Change Proposal Department can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. For example, it monitors user satisfaction with proposed plan changes and actual usage, and reflects this in future proposals. This allows the Change Proposal Department to flexibly respond to changes in the user's communication patterns and provide the optimal communication plan. In addition, the Change Proposal Department can also propose long-term plan changes in response to changes in the user's lifestyle and communication needs. This allows the change proposal department to provide users with the most suitable plan for their communication needs, helping them reduce communication costs and improve utilization efficiency.

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.

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.

[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0149] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0150] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0151] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0152] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0153] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0154] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.

[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.).
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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).

[0163] 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.
[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and change proposal unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's communication history and application usage using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and analyzes the collected data to identify the user's communication pattern. The proposal unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and proposes an optimal communication plan based on the analysis results. The change proposal unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, for example, and proposes a plan change in response to a change in the communication pattern. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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."
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
