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) An embodiment of the present invention provides a procedure automation system that automates text-based procedures using a generative AI. This system works as follows: the user inputs personal information, the generative AI analyzes the input, selects the appropriate procedure, and proceeds with the process. If there are any unclear points, the system contacts the user via social media and notifies the user of the procedure's progress. This mechanism frees users from cumbersome procedures and allows them to track the procedure's progress in real time. For example, the user inputs personal information, such as their name, address, and contact details. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input information. Based on the input information, the generative AI selects the appropriate procedure. For example, it automatically selects the procedure the user needs, such as filing a tax return or canceling a subscription service. Based on the selected procedure, the generative AI proceeds with the process. For example, in the case of filing a tax return, the generative AI automatically creates and submits the necessary documents. If there are any unclear points, the system contacts the user via social media. For example, if necessary information is missing, the generative AI contacts the user via social media to complete the information. Finally, the system notifies the user of the procedure's progress. This allows the user to track the procedure's progress in real time. This system frees users from cumbersome procedures and allows them to track the progress of their procedures in real time. As a result, the automated procedure system streamlines user procedures and allows for real-time monitoring of their progress.
[0029] The automated procedure system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a selection unit, a procedure unit, and a notification unit. The reception unit receives personal information from the user. When the user enters personal information, they enter basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. For example, the reception unit provides an interface for the user to enter basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the entered information using, for example, a generation AI, and extracts data for selecting an appropriate procedure. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to extract data for selecting an appropriate procedure based on the entered information. The selection unit selects an appropriate procedure based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the selection unit uses a generation AI to select an appropriate procedure based on the analyzed information. For example, the selection unit uses a generation AI to automatically select the procedure the user needs, such as filing a tax return or canceling a subscription service, based on the analyzed information. The procedure unit proceeds with the procedure selected by the selection unit. The procedure unit uses, for example, a generation AI, to automatically create and submit the necessary documents based on the selected procedure. For example, the procedure unit uses a generation AI to automatically create and submit the necessary documents based on the selected procedure. The notification unit notifies the user of the progress of the procedure carried out by the procedure unit. The notification unit notifies the user of the progress of the procedure using a generation AI, for example. The notification unit notifies the user of the progress of the procedure using a generation AI, for example. As a result, the procedure automation system according to the embodiment can streamline the user's procedures and allow them to grasp the progress of the procedures in real time.
[0030] The reception desk is where users enter their personal information. When users enter personal information, they enter basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. For example, the reception desk provides an interface for users to enter basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. Specifically, the reception desk designs an intuitive and user-friendly interface so that users can easily enter information. The interface includes input elements such as text boxes, drop-down menus, and radio buttons, allowing users to enter the necessary information quickly and accurately. In addition, the entered information is securely transmitted using encryption technology and stored in a database. Furthermore, the reception desk has validation functions to check the integrity of the entered information and to ensure that there is no missing or incorrect information. For example, a character limit is set for the name input field, and a function is added to check the format of the postal code in the address input field. In this way, the reception desk supports users in entering accurate and complete information, and ensures that subsequent processing proceeds smoothly.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the entered information and extract data to select the appropriate procedure. Specifically, the generative AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze the entered text data and identify the user's intent and the necessary procedures. For example, it determines whether a specific procedure for a particular region is required based on the address information entered by the user. It also selects the most suitable contact method for the user based on contact information. The generative AI has an algorithm that learns from past data and cases to suggest the most appropriate procedure based on the entered information. Furthermore, the analysis unit checks the consistency and accuracy of the entered information and can request additional information from the user as needed. For example, if the address information is incomplete, the analysis unit sends a notification to the user prompting them to enter supplementary information. In this way, the analysis unit accurately analyzes the information entered by the user and supports the smooth progress of subsequent procedures.
[0032] The selection unit selects the appropriate procedure based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the selection unit uses a generation AI to select the appropriate procedure based on the analyzed information. Specifically, the generation AI automatically selects the procedure the user needs based on the data provided by the analysis unit. For example, if a user needs to file a tax return, the generation AI analyzes the user's income and address information and selects the appropriate tax return documents. Also, if a user needs to cancel a subscription service, the generation AI analyzes the user's contract information and proposes the best way to proceed with the cancellation. The selection unit uses the generation AI's algorithm to select the most appropriate option from multiple procedure options and proposes it to the user. Furthermore, the selection unit can consider the user's past procedure history and individual needs to provide customized procedure suggestions. This allows the selection unit to quickly and accurately select the procedure the user needs, thereby improving the efficiency of the procedure.
[0033] The Procedures Department carries out the procedures selected by the Selection Department. For example, the Procedures Department uses a Generative AI to automatically create and submit the necessary documents based on the selected procedures. Specifically, the Generative AI automatically generates the necessary documents based on user input information and data provided by the Analysis Department. For example, in the case of tax returns, the Generative AI creates appropriate tax return documents based on the user's income and expense information. In the case of subscription service cancellation procedures, the Generative AI automatically carries out the necessary documents and procedures for cancellation. The Procedures Department electronically submits the documents created by the Generative AI and coordinates with relevant organizations as needed. Furthermore, the Procedures Department monitors the progress of the procedures in real time and can request additional information from the user if necessary. This allows the Procedures Department to quickly and accurately carry out the procedures required by the user, achieving increased efficiency and accuracy in procedures.
[0034] The notification unit notifies users of the progress of procedures carried out by the procedure unit. The notification unit notifies users of the progress of procedures, for example, using a generative AI. Specifically, the generative AI tracks the progress of each step of the procedure in real time and sends timely notifications to the user. For example, when a procedure is completed, the generative AI sends a notification to the user that the procedure is complete. Also, if additional information is needed during the procedure, the generative AI sends a notification to the user prompting them to provide the necessary information. The notification unit can provide multiple notification methods, such as email, SMS, and in-app notifications, according to the user's preference. Furthermore, the notification unit can collect feedback from users and use it to improve the progress of procedures and the content of notifications. This allows the notification unit to enable users to understand the progress of procedures in real time and improve the transparency and reliability of the procedures.
[0035] The reception unit can input basic information such as the user's name, address, and contact information. The reception unit can, for example, provide an interface for the user to input basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. The reception unit can also save the information entered by the user and send it to the analysis unit. This improves the accuracy of the procedure by accurately entering the user's basic information. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the reception unit can input the information entered by the user into a generation AI, which can analyze the information and extract data to select the appropriate procedure.
[0036] The analysis unit can select an appropriate procedure based on the input information. For example, the analysis unit can use a generation AI to analyze the input information and extract data for selecting an appropriate procedure. The analysis unit can also send the analysis results to the selection unit, which can then provide data for selecting an appropriate procedure. This improves the efficiency of the procedure by selecting an appropriate procedure based on the input information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI or not. For example, the analysis unit can input the input information into a generation AI, which will analyze the information and extract data for selecting an appropriate procedure.
[0037] The selection unit can automatically select the procedures required by the user, such as filing tax returns or canceling subscription services. For example, the selection unit can use a generative AI to select the appropriate procedure based on the analyzed information. The selection unit can also transmit the selected procedures to the procedure unit, providing the procedure unit with the necessary data to proceed with the procedures. This improves the efficiency of the procedures by automatically selecting the procedures required by the user. Some or all of the above-described processes in the selection unit may be performed using a generative AI, or they may not. For example, the selection unit can input the analyzed information into a generative AI, which can then select the appropriate procedure.
[0038] The procedure unit can automatically create and submit the necessary documents based on the selected procedure. For example, the procedure unit can use a generation AI to automatically create and submit the necessary documents based on the selected procedure. The procedure unit can also transmit the progress of the procedure to the notification unit, which can then provide data to notify the user of the procedure's progress. This improves the efficiency of the procedure by automatically creating and submitting the necessary documents. Some or all of the above-described processes in the procedure unit may be performed using a generation AI, or not. For example, the procedure unit can input the selected procedure into a generation AI, which can then automatically create and submit the necessary documents.
[0039] The notification unit can notify the user of the progress of the procedure. The notification unit notifies the user of the progress of the procedure, for example, using a generation AI. The notification unit can also notify the user of the progress of the procedure in real time. This allows the user to understand the progress of the procedure in real time by notifying the user of the progress of the procedure. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input the progress of the procedure into a generation AI, and the generation AI can notify the user of the progress of the procedure.
[0040] The procedural department can contact the individual via social media if there are any unclear points. The procedural department can, for example, use a generative AI to contact the individual via social media if there are any unclear points. The procedural department can also supplement necessary information by contacting the individual via social media if there are any unclear points. This improves the accuracy of the procedure by allowing confirmation via social media when there are unclear points. Some or all of the above processing in the procedural department may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, if there are unclear points, the procedural department can input a message to the generative AI to contact the individual via social media, and the generative AI can create and send the message.
[0041] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and provide an auto-completion function to reduce the effort required for input. For example, the reception desk can use a generative AI to analyze the user's past input history and provide an auto-completion function to reduce the effort required for input. For example, the reception desk can use a generative AI to analyze the user's past input history and provide an auto-completion function to reduce the effort required for input. The reception desk can also automatically complete frequently entered information based on the user's past input history. For example, it can automatically display names and addresses that the user has frequently entered in the past as suggestions. It can prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. It can predict and suggest information that will be used at specific times based on the user's past input history. In this way, the effort required for input can be reduced by analyzing past input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without using a generative AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past input history into a generative AI, and the generative AI can provide an auto-completion function to reduce the effort required for input.
[0042] The reception desk can customize input fields based on the user's current situation and environment during input. For example, the reception desk can use generative AI to customize input fields based on the user's current situation and environment during input. Furthermore, the reception desk can improve input efficiency by changing input fields according to the user's situation and environment. For example, if the user is out, simplified input fields can be provided to allow for quick input. If the user is at home, detailed input fields can be provided to allow for accurate information entry. If the user is participating in a specific event, input fields related to that event can be prioritized. This improves input efficiency by customizing input fields according to the user's situation and environment. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using generative AI, or without it. For example, the reception desk can input data about the user's current situation and environment into the generative AI, which can then customize the input fields.
[0043] The reception desk can prioritize inputting highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location during data entry.

[0071] The reception desk is where users enter their personal information. When users enter personal information, they enter basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. For example, the reception desk provides an interface for users to enter basic information such as their name, address, and contact information. Specifically, the reception desk designs an intuitive and user-friendly interface so that users can easily enter information. The interface includes input elements such as text boxes, drop-down menus, and radio buttons, allowing users to enter the necessary information quickly and accurately. In addition, the entered information is securely transmitted using encryption technology and stored in a database. Furthermore, the reception desk has validation functions to check the integrity of the entered information and to ensure that there is no missing or incorrect information. For example, a character limit is set for the name input field, and a function is added to check the format of the postal code in the address input field. In this way, the reception desk supports users in entering accurate and complete information, and ensures that subsequent processing proceeds smoothly.
[0072] The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the entered information and extract data to select the appropriate procedure.

For example, in the case of tax returns, the Generative AI creates appropriate tax return documents based on the user's income and expense information. In the case of subscription service cancellation procedures, the Generative AI automatically carries out the necessary documents and procedures for cancellation. The Procedures Department electronically submits the documents created by the Generative AI and coordinates with relevant organizations as needed. Furthermore, the Procedures Department monitors the progress of the procedures in real time and can request additional information from the user if necessary. This allows the Procedures Department to quickly and accurately carry out the procedures required by the user, achieving increased efficiency and accuracy in procedures.

[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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."
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
