For example, if a student has low language proficiency, the AI can apply a different interpretation algorithm to provide a concise and easy-to-understand interpretation. The interpretation department can also apply different interpretation algorithms to the AI to apply the most suitable interpretation algorithm depending on the student's language proficiency. This allows for more appropriate interpretations to be provided by applying different interpretation algorithms according to the student's language proficiency. Some or all of the above processing in the interpretation department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the interpretation department can input student language proficiency data into a generating AI and have the generating AI apply different interpretation algorithms.
[0054] The interpretation department can determine the priority of interpretations based on the timing of lecture content delivery.

For example, the AI can determine the priority of interpretations so that lecture content with a distant delivery date is interpreted later. The AI can also determine the priority of interpretations so that interpretations are performed at the optimal time according to the student's schedule. In this way, by determining the priority of interpretations based on the delivery date, interpretations can be performed at the optimal time for the student. Some or all of the above processes in the interpretation department may be performed using AI, or they may not. For example, the interpretation department can input lecture content delivery date data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of interpretation priorities.
[0055] The interpretation department can adjust the order of interpretation based on the relevance of the lecture content during interpretation. For example, the AI can adjust the order of interpretation to prioritize lecture content that is most relevant to the student's interests.

[0097] The lecture department can estimate students' emotions and prioritize lectures based on those estimated emotions. For example, if students are relaxed, the lecture department can use AI to prioritize lectures that promote relaxation. For example, if students are nervous, the lecture department can use AI to prioritize lectures with a calm atmosphere. The lecture department can also use AI to prioritize lectures that are energetic if students are excited. This allows for the provision of more appropriate lectures by prioritizing lectures based on students' emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the lecture department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the lecture department can input student emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI determine the lecture priorities.
[0098] The lecture system can provide optimal lecture content by considering the geographical location of students during lectures. For example, the lecture system can use AI to provide optimal lecture content by considering the culture and customs of the area where students live. For example, the lecture system can use AI to provide optimal lecture content by considering the characteristics of educational institutions in the area where students live. Furthermore, the lecture system can use AI to provide optimal lecture content by considering the industry and economic conditions of the area where students live. In this way, by considering geographical location information, region-specific lecture content can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the lecture system may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the lecture system can input the geographical location information of students into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of providing optimal lecture content.
[0099] The lecture department can analyze students' social media activity during lectures and provide relevant lecture content. For example, the lecture department can use AI to provide relevant lecture content based on accounts and groups that students follow on social media. For example, the lecture department can use AI to provide relevant lecture content based on content and comments that students share on social media. The lecture department can also use AI to provide relevant lecture content based on online communities that students participate in on social media. In this way, relevant lecture content can be provided by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the lecture department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the lecture department can input students' social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI provide relevant lecture content.
[0100] The interpreting department can estimate the student's emotions and adjust the interpretation style based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the student is relaxed, the AI can adjust the interpretation style to be more approachable. For example, if the student is nervous, the AI can adjust the interpretation style to be more calm. The AI can also adjust the interpretation style to be more energetic if the student is excited. By adjusting the interpretation style based on the student's emotions, a more appropriate interpretation can be provided. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the interpreting department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the interpreting department can input student emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the adjustment of the interpretation style.
[0101] The interpreting department can adjust the level of detail in the interpretation based on the importance of the lecture content. For example, the AI can adjust the level of detail in the interpretation to provide a detailed interpretation for highly important lecture content. For example, the AI can adjust the level of detail in the interpretation to provide a concise interpretation for less important lecture content. The interpreting department can also adjust the level of detail in the interpretation to prioritize highly important information according to the students' interests. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail in the interpretation based on the importance of the lecture content, information that is important to the students can be prioritized in the interpretation. Some or all of the above processing in the interpreting department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the interpreting department can input lecture content importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail in the interpretation.
[0102] The interpretation department can apply different interpretation algorithms depending on the student's language proficiency during interpretation. For example, if a student has high language proficiency, the AI can apply a different interpretation algorithm to provide a detailed interpretation that includes specialized terminology. For example, if a student has low language proficiency, the AI can apply a different interpretation algorithm to provide a concise and easy-to-understand interpretation. The interpretation department can also apply different interpretation algorithms to the AI to apply the most suitable interpretation algorithm depending on the student's language proficiency. This allows for more appropriate interpretations to be provided by applying different interpretation algorithms according to the student's language proficiency. Some or all of the above processing in the interpretation department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the interpretation department can input student language proficiency data into a generating AI and have the generating AI apply different interpretation algorithms.
[0103] The interpreting unit can estimate the student's emotions and adjust the length of the interpretation based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the student is in a hurry, the AI can adjust the length of the interpretation to provide a short, to-the-point translation. For example, if the student is relaxed, the AI can adjust the length of the interpretation to provide a longer translation that includes more detailed information. The AI can also adjust the length of the interpretation to add visually stimulating effects if the student is excited. By adjusting the length of the interpretation based on the student's emotions, a more appropriate interpretation can be provided. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the interpreting unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the interpreting unit can input student emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the length of the interpretation.
[0104] The interpretation department can determine the priority of interpretations based on the timing of lecture content delivery. For example, the AI can determine the priority of interpretations so that lecture content with an upcoming delivery date is interpreted first. For example, the AI can determine the priority of interpretations so that lecture content with a distant delivery date is interpreted later. The AI can also determine the priority of interpretations so that interpretations are performed at the optimal time according to the student's schedule. In this way, by determining the priority of interpretations based on the delivery date, interpretations can be performed at the optimal time for the student. Some or all of the above processes in the interpretation department may be performed using AI, or they may not. For example, the interpretation department can input lecture content delivery date data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of interpretation priorities.
[0105] The interpretation department can adjust the order of interpretation based on the relevance of the lecture content during interpretation. For example, the AI can adjust the order of interpretation to prioritize lecture content that is most relevant to the student's interests. For example, the AI can adjust the order of interpretation to prioritize lecture content that is most relevant based on the student's learning history. The AI can also adjust the order of interpretation to prioritize lecture content that is most relevant based on the student's future career goals. In this way, by adjusting the order of interpretation based on relevance, the information most relevant to the student can be prioritized. Some or all of the above processing in the interpretation department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the interpretation department can input relevance data of the lecture content into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the order of interpretation.
[0106] The field trip unit can estimate students' emotions and adjust the content of the field trip based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a student is relaxed, the AI adjusts the content to provide a relaxing field trip. For example, if a student is nervous, the AI adjusts the content to provide a calm atmosphere. The field trip unit can also adjust the content to provide an energetic field trip if a student is excited. In this way, by adjusting the content of the field trip based on students' emotions, more appropriate field trips can be provided. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the field trip unit may be performed using AI or not using AI. For example, the field trip unit can input student emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the adjustment of the field trip content.
[0107] The Field Trip Department can provide optimal field trip content by referencing students' past interests. For example, the Field Trip Department can use AI to provide optimal field trip content based on tourist destinations and cultural facilities that students have shown interest in in the past. For example, the Field Trip Department can use AI to provide optimal field trip content based on the history of events and workshops that students have participated in in the past. The Field Trip Department can also use AI to provide optimal field trip content based on students' past interests. This allows for more effective learning for students by providing optimal field trip content based on their past interests. Some or all of the above processing in the Field Trip Department may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the Field Trip Department can input students' past interest data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of providing optimal field trip content.
[0108] The field trip unit can customize the content of field trips based on students' current learning status. For example, the field trip unit can use AI to customize the field trip content based on the progress of assignments or projects that students are currently working on. For example, the field trip unit can use AI to customize the field trip content based on students' current level of understanding. The field trip unit can also use AI to customize the field trip content based on students' current learning resources (for example, textbooks and reference books they are using). This allows for optimal learning for students by customizing the field trip content based on their current learning status. Some or all of the above processes in the field trip unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the field trip unit can input students' current learning status data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the customization of the field trip content.
[0109] The field trip unit can estimate students' emotions and prioritize field trips based on those emotions. For example, if students are relaxed, the AI will prioritize providing relaxing field trips. For example, if students are nervous, the AI will prioritize providing field trips with a calm atmosphere. The AI can also prioritize providing energetic field trips if students are excited. By prioritizing field trips based on students' emotions, more appropriate field trips can be provided. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generative AI.

For example, the field trip unit can use AI to provide optimal field trip content by considering the characteristics of educational institutions in the area where the student lives. Furthermore, the field trip unit can use AI to provide optimal field trip content by considering the industry and economic conditions of the area where the student lives. In this way, by considering geographical location information, it is possible to provide field trip content specific to the region. Some or all of the above processing in the field trip unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the field trip unit can input the student's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of providing optimal field trip content.
[0111] The Field Trip Department can analyze students' social media activity during field trips and provide relevant content. For example, the Field Trip Department can use AI to provide relevant field trip content based on accounts and groups that students follow on social media.

[0112] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0113] The remote campus connect system can also include a health management department to monitor students' health. This department could, for example, monitor students' heart rates and sleep patterns to understand their health status. For instance, if a student is experiencing stress, the health management department could use AI to analyze health data and suggest a more relaxing learning style. It could also send notifications to students encouraging rest if they are feeling tired. This allows for a more effective learning environment by adjusting learning styles based on students' health status.
[0114] The remote campus connect system can also include a progress management unit that visualizes students' learning progress. This unit can, for example, display students' learning progress using graphs and charts, allowing for a visual understanding of their learning achievements. For instance, it can display in real time how far along a student is in relation to their goals. Furthermore, if a student is falling behind, the unit can suggest supplementary learning resources. By visualizing learning progress, students can more easily understand their own learning situation and increase their motivation to learn.
[0115] The remote campus connect system can also include an assessment unit to evaluate students' learning performance. This unit can, for example, analyze students' assignments and test results to assess their learning performance.

This unit monitors the student's learning environment (lighting, volume, temperature, etc.) and provides an optimal environment. For example, it adjusts the brightness of the lighting to create an environment conducive to student concentration. It can also play background music to help students relax. By optimizing the learning environment in this way, students can learn more effectively.
[0117] The remote campus connect system can also include a motivation management unit to further enhance student learning motivation. This unit can, for example, set learning goals for students and provide rewards based on their achievement. For instance, it could award virtual badges or points to students who achieve their goals. Furthermore, the motivation management unit can boost students' motivation by providing positive feedback on their learning. This, in turn, improves learning motivation, enabling students to continue their studies consistently.
[0118] The remote campus connect system can also include a community building section to foster student learning communities.

This allows students to engage in their studies without feeling isolated by forming learning communities.
[0119] The remote campus connect system can also include a customization section that provides personalized learning plans tailored to students' learning styles. This customization section can create optimal learning plans based on students' learning styles (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.). For example, it can provide a plan with a lot of visual content for students with a visual learning style, and a plan with a lot of audio content for students with an auditory learning style. This allows students to learn more effectively by providing customized learning plans that match their learning style.
[0120] The remote campus connect system can also include an outcomes sharing section for sharing students' learning outcomes. This section could provide a platform for students to share projects and reports they have created with other students and faculty. For example, it could offer online presentation features for students to present their work. Furthermore, the outcomes sharing section could allow students to evaluate and provide feedback on other students' work. This allows students to learn from and grow together by sharing their learning outcomes.
[0121] The remote campus connect system can also include a resource management unit to manage students' learning resources. This unit centrally manages the learning resources students need (textbooks, reference books, online courses, etc.). For example, it allows students to easily search for and access resources. It can also track students' progress as they use resources and suggest additional resources as needed. This management of learning resources enables students to learn more efficiently.
[0122] The remote campus connect system can also include an emotion management unit that estimates students' emotions and adjusts the learning progress based on those estimates. For example, if a student is feeling stressed, the emotion management unit provides relaxing learning content. For example, if a student is excited, the emotion management unit provides learning content to improve their concentration. The emotion management unit can also send notifications to encourage students to rest if they are tired. This allows for a more effective learning environment by adjusting the learning progress based on students' emotions.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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).
[0151] 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.
[0152] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific 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 program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 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.
[0156] 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.

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.).
[0157] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.
[0158] 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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each 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.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0161] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.

[0165] 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.
[0166] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0167] 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.
[0168] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0169] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0170] 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.
[0171] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0172] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0173] 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.).
[0174] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0175] 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).

[0176] 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 external devices, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or external devices.
[0177] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, proposal unit, lecture unit, interpretation unit, and field trip unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The lecture unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The interpretation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The field trip unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0178] 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.
[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.
[0194] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
