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

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

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

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

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

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

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

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

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

[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI ​​voice telephone service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for preventing fraud using voice telephones. This service first has the AI ​​voice telephone service answer on behalf of the caller upon incoming calls, assess the risk of fraudulent calls, and then transfer the call. Even after the call has started, it monitors the conversation to be vigilant against and eliminate fraud. For example, when a call comes in, the AI ​​voice telephone service answers on behalf of the caller. At this time, the AI ​​conveys a message to the caller such as "Fraud prevention AI is answering on your behalf." Next, the AI ​​analyzes the content of the caller's conversation and assesses the risk of fraud. For example, it checks the caller's trustworthiness through questions such as "Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you your boss at work? Why aren't you in HR?" If the AI ​​determines that the risk of fraud is low, it transfers the call to the recipient. At this time, the AI ​​conveys a message to the caller such as "Connecting you now♪". On the other hand, if the AI ​​determines that the risk of fraud is high, it rejects the call and informs the caller that "This call may be fraudulent, so we will end the call." Furthermore, even after the call has been transferred, the AI ​​continues to monitor the conversation. For example, if typical scam phrases such as "Are you so-and-so's mother?" or "So-and-so has been in the hospital after an accident!" are detected, the AI ​​will issue a warning and terminate the call. This service manages whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers and decides how to handle calls based on the list. Incoming calls from whitelisted phone numbers are forwarded to the recipient as usual. Incoming calls from graylisted phone numbers are answered by the AI, which assesses the risk of fraud. Incoming calls from blacklisted phone numbers are automatically rejected. This system prevents voice call scams and ensures user safety. In particular, it is expected to significantly reduce the risk of "kind dads and moms" and "kind grandpas and grandmas" who care about the safety and well-being of their children becoming victims of scams. Thus, the AI ​​voice call service can prevent voice call scams from occurring.

[0029] The AI ​​voice telephone service according to this embodiment comprises a proxy answering unit, an analysis unit, a transfer unit, a monitoring unit, and a list management unit. The proxy answering unit uses AI to answer calls on behalf of the caller. For example, when a call comes in, the proxy answering unit conveys a message to the caller such as "Anti-fraud AI is answering on your behalf." The proxy answering unit can also record the content of the caller's conversation and send it to the analysis unit. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can refer to telephone numbers on a whitelist, graylist, and blacklist and make appropriate responses. For example, the proxy answering unit answers calls from telephone numbers registered on the whitelist as usual, and asks questions to determine the risk of fraud for calls from telephone numbers registered on the graylist. It automatically rejects calls from telephone numbers registered on the blacklist. The analysis unit analyzes the content of conversations answered by the proxy answering unit and determines the risk of fraud. For example, the analysis unit converts the conversation content into text data using speech recognition technology and evaluates the risk of fraud using natural language processing technology. The analysis unit can also detect specific keywords or phrases and determine the possibility of fraud. For example, the analysis unit verifies the caller's trustworthiness through questions such as, "Is this [Name]? Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you [Name]'s boss? Why not the HR department?" The call forwarding unit forwards the call if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low. For example, if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low, the call forwarding unit sends a message to the caller such as, "Connecting you now♪" and forwards the call to the recipient. The call forwarding unit can also select the call forwarding destination based on a whitelist. The monitoring unit monitors the conversation during the call and issues a warning if signs of fraud are detected. For example, if the monitoring unit detects typical fraud phrases such as, "Are you [Name]'s mother?" or "[Name] has been in an emergency hospitalization after an accident!" during the call, it can issue a warning and terminate the call. The monitoring unit can also analyze the call content in real time and detect signs of fraud. The list management unit manages the whitelist, graylist, and blacklist of phone numbers. For example, the list management unit allows users to manually update the list.Furthermore, the list management unit can automatically update the list based on the results of the proxy response unit and the analysis unit. As a result, the AI ​​voice telephone service according to this embodiment can prevent fraud using voice telephones.

[0030] The proxy answering unit uses AI to answer incoming calls. For example, when a call comes in, the proxy answering unit will send a message to the caller such as, "The fraud prevention AI is answering your call." Specifically, the AI ​​can use speech synthesis technology to deliver the message to the caller in a natural voice. The proxy answering unit can also record the caller's conversation and send it to the analysis unit. The recorded audio data is saved as an audio file and uploaded to a cloud server for the analysis unit to access. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can refer to whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers and provide appropriate responses. For example, the proxy answering unit will answer calls from whitelisted phone numbers as usual, and for calls from graylisted phone numbers, it will ask questions to determine the risk of fraud. Specifically, the AI ​​will ask the caller questions such as, "May I have your name and the purpose of your call?" and send the answer to the analysis unit. Calls from blacklisted phone numbers will be automatically rejected. Possible rejection messages include, "We do not accept calls from this phone number." This allows the proxy response unit to quickly assess the reliability of the caller and take appropriate action.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the conversation content that has been answered by the proxy response unit to determine the risk of fraud. For example, the analysis unit uses speech recognition technology to convert the conversation content into text data and natural language processing technology to evaluate the risk of fraud. Specifically, speech recognition technology converts the caller's voice into text with high accuracy, and natural language processing technology extracts specific keywords and phrases from the text data. For example, the reliability of the caller is confirmed through questions such as, "Hey, [Name]? Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you [Name]'s boss? Why aren't you in the HR department?" Furthermore, the analysis unit can also compare the conversation content with a database of past fraud cases to check for similar patterns. This allows the analysis unit to analyze the caller's conversation content from multiple angles and determine the risk of fraud with high accuracy. The analysis unit also provides the analysis results to the transmission unit and monitoring unit in real time to support a rapid response.

[0032] The call forwarding unit forwards calls when the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low. For example, if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low, the call forwarding unit will send a message such as "Connecting you now♪" to the caller and forward the call to the recipient. Specifically, the call forwarding unit receives a signal from the analysis unit and automatically connects the call to the recipient's phone. The call forwarding unit can also select the call forwarding destination based on a whitelist. For example, it can select the most appropriate recipient from multiple phone numbers registered in the whitelist and forward the call. This allows the call forwarding unit to forward only highly reliable calls to recipients, reducing the risk of fraud. Furthermore, the call forwarding unit can monitor the call forwarding status in real time and respond immediately if an anomaly is detected.

[0033] The monitoring unit monitors the conversation even during a call and issues a warning if signs of fraud are detected. For example, if the monitoring unit detects typical fraud phrases such as "Are you so-and-so's mother?" or "So-and-so has been in the hospital after an accident!" during a call, it can issue a warning and terminate the call. Specifically, the monitoring unit combines speech recognition technology and natural language processing technology to analyze the call content in real time and detect signs of fraud. The monitoring unit can also analyze the call content in real time and detect signs of fraud. For example, if a specific keyword or phrase is detected during a call, the monitoring unit will immediately issue a warning and terminate the call. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can record the call content so that the analysis unit can later analyze it in detail. This allows the monitoring unit to monitor the risk of fraud during a call in real time and respond quickly.

[0034] The list management unit manages whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers. For example, users can manually update the list. Specifically, users can add, delete, and edit phone numbers through a dedicated application or web interface. The list management unit can also automatically update the list based on the results of the proxy response unit and the analysis unit. For example, if the analysis unit determines that a particular phone number is at high risk of fraud, it can automatically add that phone number to the blacklist. Conversely, highly reliable phone numbers are added to the whitelist. This allows the list management unit to always manage the list based on the latest information, improving the overall reliability of the system. Furthermore, the list management unit can record the update history of the list for later review. This allows the list management unit to track user and system operation history and manage the list more effectively.

[0035] The questioning unit can verify the sender's credibility through specific questions. For example, the questioning unit can ask the sender questions such as, "Do you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you your boss at work? Why aren't you in HR?" to verify the sender's credibility. The questioning unit can also analyze the sender's answers and evaluate their consistency and reliability. For example, the questioning unit can check whether the sender's answers match past data to assess reliability. Furthermore, the questioning unit can ask additional questions based on the sender's answers. For example, if the questioning unit has doubts about the sender's answers, it can ask additional questions to verify reliability. In this way, the questioning unit can reduce the risk of fraud by verifying the sender's credibility.

[0036] The rejection unit can reject calls if it determines that there is a high risk of fraud. For example, if the analysis unit determines that there is a high risk of fraud, the rejection unit will inform the caller, "This call may be fraudulent, so we will end it," and reject the call. The rejection unit can also reject calls if it determines that the caller is unreliable. For example, the rejection unit will reject a call if the caller's responses are inconsistent or if certain keywords or phrases are detected. Furthermore, the rejection unit can automatically reject incoming calls from phone numbers on a blacklist. For example, if an incoming call comes from a phone number on the blacklist, the rejection unit will automatically reject the call. In this way, the rejection unit can protect users by rejecting calls that have a high risk of fraud.

[0037] The warning unit can issue a warning if it detects signs of fraud during a call. For example, if it detects typical fraudulent phrases such as "Are you so-and-so's mother?" or "So-and-so has been in the hospital after an accident!" during a call, it can issue a warning and terminate the call. The warning unit can also analyze the call content in real time to detect signs of fraud. For example, it can detect specific keywords or phrases to determine the possibility of fraud. Furthermore, the warning unit can analyze changes in the caller's voice tone and speed to detect signs of fraud. For example, it will issue a warning if the caller's voice tone changes unnaturally or if the voice speed is abnormally fast. In this way, the warning unit can prevent fraud by detecting signs of fraud during a call and issuing a warning.

[0038] The list update unit can update the list based on the proxy response results. For example, the list update unit automatically updates the whitelist, graylist, and blacklist based on the results of the proxy response unit and the analysis unit. The list update unit also allows users to manually update the list. For example, the list update unit allows users to add specific phone numbers to the whitelist or move them to the blacklist. Furthermore, the list update unit can adjust the frequency and timing of list updates. For example, the list update unit can set a schedule for periodically updating the list. This allows the list update unit to improve the accuracy of the system by updating the list based on the proxy response results.

[0039] The caller ID unit can analyze the characteristics of the caller's voice upon receiving an incoming call and evaluate its reliability by comparing it with past data. For example, the caller ID unit can analyze the tone and speed of the caller's voice and compare it with patterns of past fraudulent calls. The caller ID unit can also compare the characteristics of the caller's voice with past call history and evaluate the degree of similarity. Furthermore, the caller ID unit can compare the characteristics of the caller's voice with fraud characteristics learned by the AI ​​and evaluate its reliability. In this way, the caller ID unit can evaluate reliability by analyzing the characteristics of the caller's voice. Some or all of the above processing in the caller ID unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the caller ID unit can input the caller's voice characteristic data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the reliability evaluation.

[0040] The proxy response unit can analyze the caller's background noise when responding on behalf of the caller and determine the possibility of fraud. For example, the proxy response unit evaluates the possibility of fraud if the caller's background noise contains certain noises. The proxy response unit can also determine the possibility of fraud if the caller's background noise contains the voices of other people. Furthermore, the proxy response unit can also evaluate the possibility of fraud if the caller's background noise contains certain environmental sounds (e.g., call center sounds). In this way, the proxy response unit can determine the possibility of fraud by analyzing the caller's background noise. Some or all of the above processing in the proxy response unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proxy response unit can input the caller's background noise data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of the possibility of fraud.

[0041] The proxy answering unit can adjust the response content by considering the caller's geographical location information when answering on behalf of the caller. For example, if the caller is coming from a specific region, the proxy answering unit will provide information related to that region. The proxy answering unit can also be wary of incoming calls from regions with a high risk of fraud based on the caller's geographical location information. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can adjust the response content by considering region-specific fraud patterns based on the caller's geographical location information. As a result, the proxy answering unit can provide a more appropriate response by adjusting the response content by considering the caller's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the proxy answering unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proxy answering unit can input the caller's geographical location information data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the response content.

[0042] The proxy answering unit can optimize the response content by referring to the caller's past call history when answering on behalf of the caller. For example, if the caller has made a call in the past that is suspected of being fraudulent, the proxy answering unit will increase its vigilance. The proxy answering unit can also provide a highly reliable response content based on the caller's past call history. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can analyze the caller's past call history, assess the risk of fraud, and adjust the response content accordingly. In this way, the proxy answering unit can optimize the response content by referring to the caller's past call history. Some or all of the above processing in the proxy answering unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the proxy answering unit can input the caller's past call history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the optimization of the response content.

[0043] The analysis unit can analyze the tone and speed of the caller's voice during analysis and assess the likelihood of fraud. For example, the analysis unit assesses the likelihood of fraud if the tone of the caller's voice changes unnaturally. The analysis unit can also determine the likelihood of fraud if the speed of the caller's voice is abnormally fast. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also assess the likelihood of fraud by comparing the tone and speed of the caller's voice with patterns of past fraudulent calls. In this way, the analysis unit can assess the likelihood of fraud by analyzing the tone and speed of the caller's voice. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the tone and speed data of the caller's voice into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the fraud likelihood assessment.

[0044] The analysis unit can detect specific phrases and expressions used by the caller during analysis and determine the risk of fraud. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the risk of fraud if the caller uses a specific fraudulent phrase. The analysis unit can also determine the risk of fraud if the caller's expressions match those of past fraudulent calls. Furthermore, the analysis unit can have an AI learn specific phrases used by the caller and evaluate the risk of fraud. This allows the analysis unit to determine the risk of fraud by detecting specific phrases and expressions used by the caller. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input caller phrase and expression data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the fraud risk determination.

[0045] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the caller's past call history during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit improves the accuracy of the analysis based on the caller's past call history. The analysis unit can also analyze the caller's past call history and assess the risk of fraud. Furthermore, the analysis unit can correct the analysis results by referring to the caller's past call history. In this way, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the caller's past call history. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the caller's past call history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis accuracy improvement.

[0046] The analysis unit can correct the analysis results by considering the geographical location information of the caller during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can assess the risk of fraud based on the geographical location information of the caller. The analysis unit can also correct the analysis results by considering the geographical location information of the caller. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust the analysis results by considering region-specific fraud patterns based on the geographical location information of the caller. This allows the analysis unit to perform more accurate analysis by correcting the analysis results by considering the geographical location information of the caller. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the geographical location information data of the caller into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the correction of the analysis results.

[0047] The forwarding unit can re-evaluate the sender's trustworthiness during forwarding and determine whether or not to forward the message. For example, the forwarding unit can re-evaluate the sender's trustworthiness before forwarding and determine the risk of fraud. The forwarding unit can also re-evaluate the sender's trustworthiness during forwarding and determine whether or not to forward the message. Furthermore, the forwarding unit can re-evaluate the sender's trustworthiness before forwarding and refuse to forward the message if necessary. This allows the forwarding unit to perform more reliable forwarding by re-evaluating the sender's trustworthiness during forwarding. Some or all of the above processing in the forwarding unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the forwarding unit can input sender trustworthiness data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the trustworthiness re-evaluation.

[0048] The transfer unit can optimize the transfer by considering the recipient's current situation at the time of transfer. For example, if the recipient is busy, the transfer unit can delay the transfer or transfer it at a different time. The transfer unit can also consider the recipient's current location and transfer at an appropriate time. Furthermore, the transfer unit can transfer at the optimal time based on the recipient's schedule information. In this way, the transfer unit can optimize the transfer by considering the recipient's current situation, enabling transfers at a more appropriate time. Some or all of the above processing in the transfer unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the transfer unit can input the recipient's schedule information data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the transfer optimization.

[0049] The transfer unit can determine whether or not to transfer a call by referring to the caller's past call history at the time of transfer.

[0080] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0081] Step 1: The proxy answering unit uses AI to answer incoming calls. For example, when a call comes in, it sends a message to the caller such as, "The fraud prevention AI is answering your call." The proxy answering unit can also record the caller's conversation and send it to the analysis unit. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can refer to whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers and respond appropriately. For example, it will answer calls from whitelisted phone numbers as usual, ask questions to determine the risk of fraud for calls from graylisted phone numbers, and automatically reject calls from blacklisted phone numbers. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the conversation content that was answered by the proxy response unit and determines the risk of fraud. For example, it uses speech recognition technology to convert the conversation content into text data and natural language processing technology to evaluate the risk of fraud. It can also detect specific keywords or phrases to determine the possibility of fraud. For example, it can verify the trustworthiness of the caller through questions such as, "Hey, [Name]? Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you [Name]'s boss? Why aren't you in the HR department?" Step 3: The forwarding unit forwards the call if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low. For example, if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low, it will send a message such as "Connecting you now♪" to the caller and forward the call to the recipient. It is also possible to select the call forwarding destination based on a whitelist. Step 4: The monitoring unit monitors the conversation even while a call is in progress and issues a warning if signs of fraud are detected. For example, if typical fraud phrases such as "Are you so-and-so's mother?" or "So-and-so has been in the hospital after an accident!" are detected during a call, a warning will be issued and the call can be terminated. It can also analyze the call content in real time to detect signs of fraud. Step 5: The list management unit manages the whitelist, graylist, and blacklist of phone numbers. For example, users can manually update the list. Alternatively, the list can be automatically updated based on the results of the proxy answering unit and the analysis unit.

[0082] (Example of form 2) The AI ​​voice telephone service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for preventing fraud using voice telephones. This service first has the AI ​​voice telephone service answer on behalf of the caller upon incoming calls, assess the risk of fraudulent calls, and then transfer the call. Even after the call has started, it monitors the conversation to be vigilant against and eliminate fraud. For example, when a call comes in, the AI ​​voice telephone service answers on behalf of the caller. At this time, the AI ​​conveys a message to the caller such as "Fraud prevention AI is answering on your behalf." Next, the AI ​​analyzes the content of the caller's conversation and assesses the risk of fraud. For example, it checks the caller's trustworthiness through questions such as "Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you your boss at work? Why aren't you in HR?" If the AI ​​determines that the risk of fraud is low, it transfers the call to the recipient. At this time, the AI ​​conveys a message to the caller such as "Connecting you now♪". On the other hand, if the AI ​​determines that the risk of fraud is high, it rejects the call and informs the caller that "This call may be fraudulent, so we will end the call." Furthermore, even after the call has been transferred, the AI ​​continues to monitor the conversation. For example, if typical scam phrases such as "Are you so-and-so's mother?" or "So-and-so has been in the hospital after an accident!" are detected, the AI ​​will issue a warning and terminate the call. This service manages whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers and decides how to handle calls based on the list. Incoming calls from whitelisted phone numbers are forwarded to the recipient as usual. Incoming calls from graylisted phone numbers are answered by the AI, which assesses the risk of fraud. Incoming calls from blacklisted phone numbers are automatically rejected. This system prevents voice call scams and ensures user safety. In particular, it is expected to significantly reduce the risk of "kind dads and moms" and "kind grandpas and grandmas" who care about the safety and well-being of their children becoming victims of scams. Thus, the AI ​​voice call service can prevent voice call scams from occurring.

[0083] The AI ​​voice telephone service according to this embodiment comprises a proxy answering unit, an analysis unit, a transfer unit, a monitoring unit, and a list management unit. The proxy answering unit uses AI to answer calls on behalf of the caller. For example, when a call comes in, the proxy answering unit conveys a message to the caller such as "Anti-fraud AI is answering on your behalf." The proxy answering unit can also record the content of the caller's conversation and send it to the analysis unit. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can refer to telephone numbers on a whitelist, graylist, and blacklist and make appropriate responses. For example, the proxy answering unit answers calls from telephone numbers registered on the whitelist as usual, and asks questions to determine the risk of fraud for calls from telephone numbers registered on the graylist. It automatically rejects calls from telephone numbers registered on the blacklist. The analysis unit analyzes the content of conversations answered by the proxy answering unit and determines the risk of fraud. For example, the analysis unit converts the conversation content into text data using speech recognition technology and evaluates the risk of fraud using natural language processing technology. The analysis unit can also detect specific keywords or phrases and determine the possibility of fraud. For example, the analysis unit verifies the caller's trustworthiness through questions such as, "Is this [Name]? Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you [Name]'s boss? Why not the HR department?" The call forwarding unit forwards the call if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low. For example, if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low, the call forwarding unit sends a message to the caller such as, "Connecting you now♪" and forwards the call to the recipient. The call forwarding unit can also select the call forwarding destination based on a whitelist. The monitoring unit monitors the conversation during the call and issues a warning if signs of fraud are detected. For example, if the monitoring unit detects typical fraud phrases such as, "Are you [Name]'s mother?" or "[Name] has been in an emergency hospitalization after an accident!" during the call, it can issue a warning and terminate the call. The monitoring unit can also analyze the call content in real time and detect signs of fraud. The list management unit manages the whitelist, graylist, and blacklist of phone numbers. For example, the list management unit allows users to manually update the list.Furthermore, the list management unit can automatically update the list based on the results of the proxy response unit and the analysis unit. As a result, the AI ​​voice telephone service according to this embodiment can prevent fraud using voice telephones.

[0084] The proxy answering unit uses AI to answer incoming calls. For example, when a call comes in, the proxy answering unit will send a message to the caller such as, "The fraud prevention AI is answering your call." Specifically, the AI ​​can use speech synthesis technology to deliver the message to the caller in a natural voice. The proxy answering unit can also record the caller's conversation and send it to the analysis unit. The recorded audio data is saved as an audio file and uploaded to a cloud server for the analysis unit to access. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can refer to whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers and provide appropriate responses. For example, the proxy answering unit will answer calls from whitelisted phone numbers as usual, and for calls from graylisted phone numbers, it will ask questions to determine the risk of fraud. Specifically, the AI ​​will ask the caller questions such as, "May I have your name and the purpose of your call?" and send the answer to the analysis unit. Calls from blacklisted phone numbers will be automatically rejected. Possible rejection messages include, "We do not accept calls from this phone number." This allows the proxy response unit to quickly assess the reliability of the caller and take appropriate action.

[0085] The analysis unit analyzes the conversation content that has been answered by the proxy response unit to determine the risk of fraud. For example, the analysis unit uses speech recognition technology to convert the conversation content into text data and natural language processing technology to evaluate the risk of fraud. Specifically, speech recognition technology converts the caller's voice into text with high accuracy, and natural language processing technology extracts specific keywords and phrases from the text data. For example, the reliability of the caller is confirmed through questions such as, "Hey, [Name]? Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you [Name]'s boss? Why aren't you in the HR department?" Furthermore, the analysis unit can also compare the conversation content with a database of past fraud cases to check for similar patterns. This allows the analysis unit to analyze the caller's conversation content from multiple angles and determine the risk of fraud with high accuracy. The analysis unit also provides the analysis results to the transmission unit and monitoring unit in real time to support a rapid response.

[0086] The call forwarding unit forwards calls when the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low. For example, if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low, the call forwarding unit will send a message such as "Connecting you now♪" to the caller and forward the call to the recipient.

[0157] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0158] Step 1: The proxy answering unit uses AI to answer incoming calls. For example, when a call comes in, it sends a message to the caller such as, "The fraud prevention AI is answering your call." The proxy answering unit can also record the caller's conversation and send it to the analysis unit. Furthermore, the proxy answering unit can refer to whitelisted, graylisted, and blacklisted phone numbers and respond appropriately. For example, it will answer calls from whitelisted phone numbers as usual, ask questions to determine the risk of fraud for calls from graylisted phone numbers, and automatically reject calls from blacklisted phone numbers. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the conversation content that was answered by the proxy response unit and determines the risk of fraud. For example, it uses speech recognition technology to convert the conversation content into text data and natural language processing technology to evaluate the risk of fraud. It can also detect specific keywords or phrases to determine the possibility of fraud. For example, it can verify the trustworthiness of the caller through questions such as, "Hey, [Name]? Don't you know your mother's birthday?" or "Are you [Name]'s boss? Why aren't you in the HR department?" Step 3: The forwarding unit forwards the call if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low. For example, if the analysis unit determines that the risk of fraud is low, it will send a message such as "Connecting you now♪" to the caller and forward the call to the recipient. It is also possible to select the call forwarding destination based on a whitelist. Step 4: The monitoring unit monitors the conversation even while a call is in progress and issues a warning if signs of fraud are detected. For example, if typical fraud phrases such as "Are you so-and-so's mother?" or "So-and-so has been in the hospital after an accident!" are detected during a call, a warning will be issued and the call can be terminated. It can also analyze the call content in real time to detect signs of fraud. Step 5: The list management unit manages the whitelist, graylist, and blacklist of phone numbers. For example, users can manually update the list. Alternatively, the list can be automatically updated based on the results of the proxy answering unit and the analysis unit.

[0165] 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 communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0166] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. 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, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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 (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) 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).

[0169] 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.

[0170] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0174] 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.).

[0175] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] The data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 210 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart glasses 214, 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 smart glasses 214. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart glasses 214 or an external device, and the smart glasses 214 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0178] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the proxy answering unit, analysis unit, transfer unit, monitoring unit, and list management unit, is implemented in at least one of the smart glasses 214 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the proxy answering unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the smart glasses 214, and the AI ​​answers the call on behalf of the caller when an incoming call is received. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the content of the conversation to determine the risk of fraud.

[0195] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0210] 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.

[0211] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the proxy answering unit, analysis unit, transfer unit, monitoring unit, and list management unit, is implemented by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the proxy answering unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and the AI ​​answers on behalf of the caller when an incoming call is received. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the content of the conversation to determine the risk of fraud. The transfer unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and transfers the call if it is determined that the risk of fraud is low. The monitoring unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and monitors the conversation even while a call is in progress, and issues a warning if signs of fraud are detected. The list management unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and manages telephone numbers on the whitelist, graylist, and blacklist. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0212] 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.

[0213] 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.

[0214] 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.

[0215] 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.

[0216] 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.

[0217] 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."

[0218] 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.
