[0028] (Example of form 1) The self-evaluation improvement system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving self-evaluation in a remote work environment. The self-evaluation improvement system records the user's daily actions and statements in meetings, and a generating AI analyzes these records to identify the user's strengths and advantages. The generating AI generates a speech of praise based on the identified strengths and advantages and reads it aloud using speech synthesis technology. This allows the user to reaffirm their strengths and advantages and increase their motivation for work. For example, the self-evaluation improvement system includes a collection unit that records the user's daily actions and statements in meetings. The collection unit records the user's actions and statements and inputs them into the generating AI. For example, it records situations where the user reports on the progress of a project or makes constructive opinions in a meeting. Next, it includes an analysis unit that analyzes the collected data. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and identifies the user's strengths and advantages. For example, if a user makes a statement that boosts the team's motivation, that statement is identified as the user's strength. The generating AI includes a generation unit that generates a speech of praise based on the identified strengths and advantages. For example, a speech such as, "Your leadership is boosting the morale of the entire team," is generated. Finally, a reading unit is included to read the generated speech aloud. The reading unit uses speech synthesis technology to read the speech. This allows users to reaffirm their strengths and positive attributes and increase their motivation for work. The self-evaluation improvement system enables users to improve their self-esteem and work with confidence, even in a remote work environment. For example, when a user reports on the progress of a project, the generation AI analyzes the report and generates and reads a speech praising the user's contribution, allowing the user to feel a sense of accomplishment for their work. In this way, the self-evaluation improvement system can improve users' self-esteem and increase their motivation for work.
[0029] The self-assessment improvement system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a reading unit. The data collection unit records the user's daily actions and statements in meetings. For example, the data collection unit records instances where the user reports on project progress or offers constructive opinions in meetings. The data collection unit records the user's actions and statements and inputs them into the generation AI. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and identifies the user's strengths and advantages. For example, if the user makes a statement that boosts team morale, the analysis unit identifies that statement as the user's strength. The generation unit generates a speech of praise based on the identified strengths and advantages. For example, the generation unit generates a speech such as, "Your leadership is boosting the morale of the entire team." The reading unit reads the generated speech aloud using speech synthesis technology. For example, by reading the generated speech aloud using speech synthesis technology, the user can reaffirm their strengths and advantages and increase their motivation for work. As a result, the self-evaluation improvement system according to the embodiment can enhance the user's motivation for work by recording and analyzing the user's daily actions and statements in meetings, generating and reading aloud a speech of praise.
[0030] The data collection unit records users' daily actions and statements made in meetings. Specifically, it records statements made by users when reporting on project progress and when they offer constructive opinions in meetings. The data collection unit uses speech recognition and natural language processing technologies to record users' statements as text data. For example, when a user speaks in a meeting, their voice is collected by a microphone and converted to text in real time. It can also record users' daily actions, such as sending emails and reporting the completion of tasks. This allows the data collection unit to record users' actions and statements in detail and provide them as data for subsequent analysis and generation. Furthermore, the data collection unit implements strict security measures regarding data collection and storage to protect user privacy. For example, the data is encrypted and can only be viewed by those with access rights. It is also possible to set the collected data to be automatically deleted after a certain period of time. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently collect necessary data while protecting user privacy.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes data collected by the data collection unit to identify the user's strengths and advantages. Specifically, it uses natural language processing techniques and machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's statements and actions. For example, it analyzes what a user says in a meeting and extracts positive elements and constructive opinions. Furthermore, it can analyze the tone and emotion of the user's statements to identify characteristics such as leadership and collaborativeness. Based on this data, the analysis unit lists and evaluates the user's strengths and advantages. For example, if a user makes a statement that boosts team morale, that statement will be identified as the user's strength. The analysis unit can also evaluate the user's growth and progress by comparing it with past data. This allows the analysis unit to accurately identify the user's strengths and advantages and provide them as input data to the generation unit, which is the next step. In addition, the analysis unit can receive user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of the analysis algorithm. For example, it can make adjustments to improve the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results based on the feedback provided by the user. This allows the analysis unit to more accurately identify the user's strengths and advantages and improve the overall performance of the system.
[0032] The generation unit generates praise speeches based on the strengths and advantages identified by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses a generation AI to automatically create speeches that praise the user's strengths and advantages. For example, it might generate a speech such as, "Your leadership is boosting the morale of the entire team." The generation AI selects the most appropriate words of praise based on the user's characteristics and past behavioral data, and constructs them into natural-sounding sentences. Furthermore, the generation unit can adjust the content and tone of the speech, taking into account the user's preferences and feedback. For example, if the user is seeking more specific feedback, the generation unit will generate a speech that includes specific examples and anecdotes. The generation unit can also customize the length and format of the speech to suit the user's needs. This allows the generation unit to provide the most effective praise speeches for the user, improving their self-esteem. In addition, the generation unit can save the generated speeches for later reference. This allows the user to look back on past speeches and confirm their growth and progress.
[0033] The text-to-speech unit reads the generated speech using speech synthesis technology. Specifically, the speech created by the generation unit is input into a speech synthesis engine and output as natural-sounding speech. The text-to-speech unit can adjust the tone and speed of the voice according to the user's preferences and situation. For example, if the user wants to listen to the speech in a relaxed environment, they can set it to read slowly in a gentle tone. The text-to-speech unit can also provide multiple voice models for the user to choose from. This allows the user to listen to the speech in the voice that best suits them. Furthermore, the text-to-speech unit can adjust the intonation and pauses of the voice to emphasize the content of the speech. For example, the tone of voice can be raised or pauses added to emphasize important points or words of praise. This allows the text-to-speech unit to effectively convey the speech to the user and support the improvement of self-esteem. In addition, the text-to-speech unit can record the generated speech and play it back later. This allows the user to reaffirm their strengths and advantages at any time and maintain their motivation.

[0104] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0105] Step 1: The data collection unit records the user's daily actions and statements in meetings.

The data collection unit records the user's actions and statements and inputs them into the generating AI. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to identify the user's strengths and advantages. For example, if a user makes a statement that motivates the team, that statement will be identified as the user's strength. Step 3: The generation unit generates a praise speech based on the strengths and advantages identified by the analysis unit. For example, it might generate a speech such as, "Your leadership is boosting the morale of the entire team." Step 4: The reading unit reads the generated speech aloud using speech synthesis technology. This allows users to reaffirm their strengths and advantages and boost their motivation for work.

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.
[0158] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and reading 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 record the user's daily actions and statements in meetings, and inputs this data into the generation AI via the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data to identify the user's strengths and advantages. The generation unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which generates a speech of praise based on the identified strengths and advantages. The reading unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which reads the generated speech aloud using speech synthesis technology. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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."
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
