Based on this information, the analysis unit can suggest activities that the user and their friends and family share common interests in. The suggestion unit can suggest, for example, sports events or workshops that the user and their friends can participate in together. It can also suggest outdoor activities that the whole family can enjoy. In this way, more enjoyable activities can be suggested based on the user's social network information.
[0054] The activity suggestion system can further analyze the user's past activity history to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's past participation history in events and lessons. The analysis unit can analyze the user's preferred activity trends based on this history. The suggestion unit can, for example, suggest new activities similar to those the user has given high ratings to in the past. It can also eliminate activities the user has avoided in the past and suggest new activities that might interest them. This allows the system to suggest more appropriate activities based on the user's past activity history.
[0055] The activity suggestion system can further analyze the user's lifestyle and optimize the time of day for suggested activities. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's sleep patterns and daily activity times. Based on this data, the analysis unit can identify the time of day when the user is most active. The suggestion unit, for example, suggests activities that can be done in the morning if the user is a morning person. It can also suggest activities that can be done in the evening if the user is a night owl. This allows the system to suggest activities at more appropriate times based on the user's lifestyle.
[0056] The activity suggestion system can further explore the user's hobbies and interests and suggest new activities. For example, the data collection unit gathers detailed information about the user's hobbies and interests. Based on this information, the analysis unit can identify activities that the user hasn't tried yet but might be interested in. The suggestion unit, for example, can suggest a new instrument lesson if the user is interested in music. It can also suggest new hiking trails or campsites if the user enjoys outdoor activities. In this way, the system can further explore the user's hobbies and interests and suggest new activities.

For example, the proposal department may input activity submission timing data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis to determine the priority of proposals.
[0086] The suggestion unit can adjust the order of suggestions based on the relevance of the activities when making suggestions. For example, the suggestion unit can prioritize suggesting activities that are of high interest to the user. For example, the suggestion unit can prioritize suggesting activities that are highly relevant based on the user's past activity history. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can prioritize suggesting activities that are highly relevant based on the user's current living situation. By adjusting the order of suggestions based on the relevance of the activities, it is possible to provide more appropriate suggestions. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input activity relevance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform analysis to adjust the order of suggestions.
[0087] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0088] The activity suggestion system can also collect user health data and incorporate it into its suggestions. For example, the data collection unit collects health data such as the user's heart rate, sleep patterns, and exercise level. Based on this data, the analysis unit can suggest exercises, lessons, and events that are best suited to the user's health condition. For example, if the user's heart rate is high, the suggestion unit can suggest relaxing yoga or meditation classes. It can also suggest activities that help improve sleep if the user's sleep patterns are disrupted. This allows the system to suggest more appropriate activities based on the user's health condition.
[0089] The activity suggestion system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if the analysis unit is feeling stressed, it can suggest relaxing activities. If the suggestion unit is excited, it can suggest active sports or events. If the user is sad, it can suggest fun activities to lift their spirits. This allows the system to suggest more appropriate activities based on the user's emotions.
[0090] The activity suggestion system can further optimize the locations of suggested activities by utilizing the user's geographical location information. For example, the data collection unit collects information about the user's current location and frequently visited places. Based on this information, the analysis unit can suggest activities that can be performed within the user's range of movement. The suggestion unit can, for example, suggest fitness classes or events that the user can take near their home. If the user is traveling, it can also suggest tourist spots and activities at their travel destination. This allows for the suggestion of more convenient and appropriate activities based on the user's geographical location information.
[0091] The activity suggestion system can further utilize the user's social network information to suggest activities that can be enjoyed with friends and family. For example, the data collection unit collects information about friends and family from the user's social media accounts. Based on this information, the analysis unit can suggest activities that the user and their friends and family share common interests in. The suggestion unit can suggest, for example, sports events or workshops that the user and their friends can participate in together. It can also suggest outdoor activities that the whole family can enjoy. In this way, more enjoyable activities can be suggested based on the user's social network information.
[0092] The activity suggestion system can further analyze the user's past activity history to improve the accuracy of its suggestions. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's past participation history in events and lessons. The analysis unit can analyze the user's preferred activity trends based on this history. The suggestion unit can, for example, suggest new activities similar to those the user has given high ratings to in the past. It can also eliminate activities the user has avoided in the past and suggest new activities that might interest them. This allows the system to suggest more appropriate activities based on the user's past activity history.
[0093] The activity suggestion system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of suggestions based on those emotions. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's facial expressions and voice data to estimate their emotions. The analysis unit can then make suggestions during times when the user is relaxed. The suggestion unit, for example, can suggest relaxing activities if the user is feeling stressed. It can also suggest active activities if the user is excited. This allows the system to suggest activities at a more appropriate time based on the user's emotions.
[0094] The activity suggestion system can further analyze the user's lifestyle and optimize the time of day for suggested activities. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's sleep patterns and daily activity times. Based on this data, the analysis unit can identify the time of day when the user is most active. The suggestion unit, for example, suggests activities that can be done in the morning if the user is a morning person. It can also suggest activities that can be done in the evening if the user is a night owl. This allows the system to suggest activities at more appropriate times based on the user's lifestyle.
[0095] The activity suggestion system can further estimate the user's emotions and personalize the suggestions based on those emotions. For example, the analysis unit can suggest relaxing activities if the user is relaxed. The suggestion unit can suggest activities that help relieve stress if the user is stressed. It can also suggest energetic activities if the user is excited. This allows for more personalized activity suggestions based on the user's emotions.
[0096] The activity suggestion system can further explore the user's hobbies and interests and suggest new activities. For example, the data collection unit gathers detailed information about the user's hobbies and interests. Based on this information, the analysis unit can identify activities that the user hasn't tried yet but might be interested in. The suggestion unit, for example, can suggest a new instrument lesson if the user is interested in music. It can also suggest new hiking trails or campsites if the user enjoys outdoor activities. In this way, the system can further explore the user's hobbies and interests and suggest new activities.
[0097] The activity suggestion system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way suggestions are presented based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit can provide detailed suggestions. If the user is in a hurry, it can provide concise suggestions. Furthermore, if the user is excited, it can provide visually appealing suggestions. This allows the system to suggest activities in a more appropriate way based on the user's emotions.
[0098] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0099] Step 1: The data collection unit collects information about the user's personality, preferences, hobbies, and schedule. For example, the data collection unit collects detailed information such as what activities the user likes, what hobbies they have, and what their daily schedule is like. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also conduct psychological tests and questionnaires to collect information about the user's personality, preferences, hobbies, and schedule. They can also collect detailed information by analyzing the user's past behavioral history and social media posts. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and suggests the most suitable exercise, lessons, and events for the user. For example, based on the collected information, if the user likes sports, it will suggest events and lessons related to that sport. It can also suggest activities at the most suitable time according to the user's schedule. Furthermore, it can provide customized suggestions tailored to the user's personality, preferences, hobbies, and schedule. Step 3: The proposal unit proposes the optimal activities based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it proposes the most suitable activities for individual users based on specific rankings and activity results. Furthermore, it can analyze and generate activity requests directly from conversations with users and propose new activities in real time based on activity data from people around the world.
[0100] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0103] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and suggestion unit, is implemented in at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 38B of the smart device 14 to collect information such as the user's personality, preferences, hobbies, and schedule. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected information to suggest the most suitable exercise, lessons, or events for the user. The suggestion unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, and based on the analysis results, suggests the most suitable activities based on specific rankings and activity result information.

[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.).
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and suggestion unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit uses the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 to collect information such as the user's personality, preferences, hobbies, and schedule. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected information to suggest the most suitable exercise, lessons, or events for the user. The suggestion unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and based on the analysis results, suggests the most suitable activities based on specific rankings and activity result information. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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."
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
