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 system for positively transforming travel time according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses AI to generate an optimal route in order to make travel time by car more enjoyable. This system is based on a car navigation app and can generate business revenue and advertising revenue by linking with tourism services such as restaurants and accommodations. Furthermore, it can complete all aspects of the trip, from planning to staying at the destination, within a single service. First, the user inputs the departure point and destination. Next, the AI ​​generates an optimal route based on the user's preferences and interests. This route includes tourist attractions, restaurants, and accommodations. For example, if the user is planning a trip from Tokyo to Kyoto, the AI ​​will suggest tourist attractions and restaurants along the way, providing the user with an enjoyable travel experience. Furthermore, the car navigation app will provide navigation based on the suggested route. The user can receive real-time suggestions for route changes and additions through the app. For example, if the user requests to "eat delicious ramen" along the way, the AI ​​will suggest a nearby ramen restaurant and update the route. This mechanism transforms travel time into a positive experience, allowing the user to enjoy the entire trip. In addition, business revenue and advertising revenue can be generated by linking with tourism services. For example, advertising revenue can be generated by displaying advertisements for suggested tourist attractions and restaurants. In this way, by using AI to transform travel time into something more engaging, it is possible to improve user satisfaction while also generating business and advertising revenue. Thus, systems that positively transform travel time can turn users' travel time into an attractive experience.

[0029] The system for positively changing travel time according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, a navigation unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives input of the departure point and destination. The reception unit provides, for example, an interface for the user to input the departure point and destination. The reception unit receives the information entered by the user and passes it to the generation unit. The generation unit generates the optimal route based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation unit generates the optimal route based on the user's preferences and interests, for example, using AI. The generation unit suggests the optimal route for the user by referring to the user's past behavior history, survey results, social media data, etc. If the user is planning a trip from Tokyo to Kyoto, the generation unit suggests tourist spots and gourmet spots along the way. The navigation unit performs navigation based on the route generated by the generation unit. The navigation unit guides the user along the route, for example, using a car navigation app. The navigation unit makes suggestions for route changes and additions in real time. The suggestion unit makes suggestions for route changes and additions in real time based on the navigation unit. For example, if a user requests to "eat some delicious ramen" along the way, the suggestion unit will suggest a nearby ramen restaurant and update the route. The suggestion unit can also collect user feedback and incorporate it into future suggestions. In this way, the system that positively transforms travel time according to the embodiment can turn the user's travel time into an engaging experience.

[0030] The reception unit accepts input of the departure and destination locations. For example, the reception unit provides an interface for users to input their departure and destination locations. Specifically, it enables users to easily input their departure and destination locations through applications or websites running on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. The interface employs an intuitive and user-friendly design, providing functions for users to select their departure and destination locations on a map, or to specify addresses or landmarks via text input. Furthermore, a voice input function allows users to specify their departure and destination locations by voice. The reception unit receives the information entered by the user and passes it to the generation unit. At this time, the entered information is stored in a database and used to learn the user's past input history and preferences. In addition, the reception unit also has a function to verify the accuracy of the information entered by the user and to complete or correct it as needed. For example, if a user enters an ambiguous place name, it will suggest alternative locations and prompt the user to select one. Also, if the departure or destination locations do not meet certain conditions, such as a non-existent address or an inaccessible location, a warning will be displayed and the user will be prompted to re-enter the information. This allows the reception desk to support users in accurately and quickly entering their departure and destination locations, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the system.

[0031] The generation unit generates the optimal route based on the information received by the reception unit. For example, the generation unit uses AI to generate the optimal route based on the user's preferences and interests. Specifically, the generation unit refers to the user's past behavior history, survey results, and social media data to propose the best route for the user. The AI ​​uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's preferences and interests and generate the optimal route. For example, if a user is planning a trip from Tokyo to Kyoto, it will suggest tourist spots and restaurants along the way. The generation unit retrieves information on tourist spots and restaurants from a database and selects places that match the user's preferences. Furthermore, the generation unit generates the optimal route considering real-time traffic and weather information. For example, it will suggest alternative routes to avoid delays due to traffic jams or construction. Also, if the weather deteriorates, it will prioritize suggesting indoor tourist spots and restaurants. The generation unit can also collect user feedback and reflect it in future suggestions. This allows the generation unit to provide the optimal route to make the user's travel time more comfortable and enjoyable.

[0032] The navigation unit provides navigation based on the route generated by the generation unit.

Specifically, the suggestion unit searches its database for relevant information based on the user's request and makes the best suggestion. The suggestion unit selects the best places to stop by, taking into account the user's current location, destination, and travel time. Furthermore, the suggestion unit analyzes the user's past behavior history and preferences to provide more personalized suggestions. For example, based on places the user has visited and rated in the past, it suggests new places that the user might be interested in. The suggestion unit can also collect user feedback and incorporate it into future suggestions. For example, by having the user rate suggested places, the suggestion unit learns from that rating and improves the accuracy of future suggestions. In addition, the suggestion unit can provide multiple suggestions in response to the user's request, allowing the user to choose. This enables the suggestion unit to provide optimal suggestions to make the user's travel time more engaging and fulfilling.

[0034] The suggestion section includes an advertising section that displays advertisements for suggested tourist destinations and gourmet spots. The advertising section displays, for example, banner ads for suggested tourist destinations and gourmet spots. The advertising section can also display pop-up ads and inline ads. The advertising section displays visually appealing ads to encourage users to take an interest in the suggested tourist destinations and gourmet spots. The advertising section can also customize how ads are displayed to suit the user's preferences. For example, the advertising section displays highly relevant ads based on the user's past behavior history and interests. This allows for the generation of advertising revenue. Some or all of the above-described processes in the advertising section may be performed using AI or not. For example, the advertising section can input the user's behavior history into an AI and display ads using an AI model that generates highly relevant ads.

[0035] The proposal unit includes a feedback unit that collects user feedback and incorporates it into future proposals. The feedback unit collects user opinions, for example, through surveys. The feedback unit can also collect user reviews and rating scores. The feedback unit analyzes the collected feedback and incorporates it into future proposals. The feedback unit improves the accuracy of proposals based on user feedback. For example, the feedback unit collects user ratings of suggested tourist destinations and gourmet spots and uses those ratings to improve future proposals. This improves the accuracy of proposals by incorporating user feedback. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the feedback unit can input user feedback data into an AI and make proposals using an AI model that generates future proposals.

[0036] The generation unit generates the optimal route based on the user's preferences and interests. For example, the generation unit suggests the best route for the user by referencing the user's past behavior history, survey results, and social media data. The generation unit can use AI to identify the user's preferences and interests. For example, the generation unit inputs the user's past search history and social media posts into the AI ​​and generates the optimal route using an AI model that identifies the user's preferences and interests. The generation unit suggests tourist destinations and restaurants based on the user's preferences. For example, if the user is planning a trip from Tokyo to Kyoto, the generation unit suggests tourist destinations and restaurants along the way. This allows for the provision of an optimal route based on the user's preferences. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the generation unit can suggest a route using an AI model that generates the optimal route based on the user's preferences and interests.

[0037] The navigation unit provides navigation based on the proposed route.

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.

[0167] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34.

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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.).

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, generation unit, navigation unit, suggestion unit, and advertising unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides an interface for the user to input the departure point and destination. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses AI to generate the optimal route based on the user's preferences and interests. The navigation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and performs navigation based on the generated route. The suggestion unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and makes suggestions for route changes and additions in real time. The advertising unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and displays advertisements for suggested tourist destinations and gourmet spots. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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."

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.
