[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses an AI agent to analyze local needs and propose intergenerational events in order to solve the stagnation of community activities caused by the aging of the local population and lack of cooperation with young people. This system collects local voices and online feedback, and a generating AI analyzes the collected data to grasp local needs and trends. Next, the generating AI generates event proposals that are attractive to all generations and formulates an implementation plan. This mechanism deepens connections with the community and revitalizes community activities. For example, the system digitizes opinions and requests from residents and visualizes local issues. For example, it collects information such as what kind of events residents want to participate in and what problems they have. This makes it possible to grasp local needs. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected data. The generating AI analyzes local needs and trends based on local voices and online feedback. For example, it can identify events that are easy for the elderly to participate in and activities that young people are interested in. This makes it possible to generate event proposals that are tailored to local needs. Based on the generated event proposals, an implementation plan is formulated. The generating AI generates event proposals that are attractive to all generations based on local needs and formulates a concrete implementation plan. For example, we propose events that can be enjoyed by participants of all generations, such as family-friendly cultural festivals and IT courses for seniors. This will deepen community ties and revitalize community activities. For instance, in a family-friendly cultural festival, the joint operation by seniors and young people will promote intergenerational exchange. In an IT course for seniors, young people can act as instructors, teaching digital technology to seniors and bridging the digital divide in the community. Furthermore, the generation AI will analyze resident participation data in real time to optimize events. For example, it can flexibly adjust the content and schedule of events based on participant feedback. This will allow us to provide events that are more accessible to a wider range of residents. Looking ahead, we envision strengthening collaboration with local communities and government agencies and expanding to other regions. For example, introducing a similar system in other regions could promote the revitalization of the entire area.Furthermore, as a long-term vision, it is possible to aim for the creation of a trusting network and the realization of a sustainable society in which people actively participate. In this way, by utilizing AI agents, it is possible to listen to the voices of the community, propose events tailored to local needs, and deepen connections with the community. This can resolve the stagnation of community activities caused by the aging population and lack of collaboration with young people, and revitalize the entire region.
[0029] The system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The data collection unit collects local voices and online feedback. The data collection unit collects residents' opinions and requests, for example, through questionnaires. The data collection unit can also collect residents' opinions and requests through interviews. Furthermore, the data collection unit can also collect residents' opinions and requests through workshops. For example, the data collection unit conducts online questionnaires to collect residents' opinions and requests. The data collection unit can also collect specific opinions and requests from residents through interviews. The data collection unit can also hold workshops to provide residents with an opportunity to express their opinions directly. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to understand local needs and trends. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data, for example, using data mining techniques. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the collected data using text analysis techniques. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the collected data using statistical analysis techniques. For example, the analysis unit uses data mining techniques to identify local needs. The analysis unit can also analyze residents' opinions and requests using text analysis technology. The analysis unit can also grasp local trends using statistical analysis technology. The proposal unit generates intergenerational event proposals and develops implementation plans based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the proposal unit proposes a family-oriented cultural festival. It can also propose IT courses for the elderly. Furthermore, the proposal unit can propose workshops for young people. For example, the proposal unit proposes a family-oriented cultural festival and develops a concrete implementation plan. The proposal unit can also propose IT courses for the elderly and develop a concrete implementation plan. The proposal unit can also propose workshops for young people and develop a concrete implementation plan. In this way, the system according to the embodiment deepens local connections and revitalizes community activities by collecting and analyzing local voices and online feedback and generating intergenerational event proposals.
[0030] The data collection department collects local voices and online feedback. For example, the department collects residents' opinions and requests through surveys. It can also collect residents' opinions and requests through interviews. Furthermore, it can collect residents' opinions and requests through workshops. For instance, the department conducts online surveys to collect residents' opinions and requests. It can also collect specific opinions and requests from residents through interviews. The department can also hold workshops to provide residents with an opportunity to express their opinions directly. By combining these methods, the department can collect a wide range of diverse opinions and requests from residents. For example, online surveys allow residents to easily submit their opinions from home, enabling the collection of many opinions in a short period. Interviews allow for a deeper exploration of each resident's specific opinions and requests, providing more detailed information. Workshops are expected to generate new ideas and solutions through the exchange of opinions among residents. The data collection department centrally manages this data and prepares it for provision to the analysis department. During the data collection process, measures are taken to ensure privacy protection and data accuracy. For example, during surveys and interviews, explanations regarding the handling of personal information are provided, and data is collected only after obtaining consent. Furthermore, the collected data is anonymized and encrypted and stored securely. This allows the data collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively while gaining the trust of residents.
[0031] The analysis department analyzes the data collected by the data collection department to understand local needs and trends. For example, the analysis department uses data mining techniques to analyze the collected data. It can also analyze the collected data using text analysis techniques. Furthermore, it can analyze the collected data using statistical analysis techniques. For instance, the analysis department uses data mining techniques to identify local needs. It can also analyze residents' opinions and requests using text analysis techniques. It can also grasp local trends using statistical analysis techniques. The analysis department utilizes these techniques to extract useful information from the collected data and clarify local needs and trends. By using data mining techniques, patterns and relationships can be found in large amounts of data, allowing for the identification of local needs. By using text analysis techniques, residents' opinions and requests can be analyzed using natural language processing techniques to extract frequently occurring keywords and themes. By using statistical analysis techniques, data distribution and trends can be understood, clarifying local trends. Based on these analysis results, the analysis department understands local needs and trends and provides them to the proposal department. The analysis department also visualizes the analysis results and presents them clearly using graphs and charts. This allows the proposal department to make concrete proposals based on the analysis results. Furthermore, the analysis department regularly updates the analysis results and provides the latest information, enabling them to respond quickly to changes in local needs and trends. This allows the analysis department to accurately grasp local needs and trends and support the activities of the proposal department.
[0032] The proposal department generates intergenerational event ideas and develops implementation plans based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. For example, the proposal department might propose a family-oriented cultural festival. It could also propose an IT course for senior citizens. Furthermore, it could propose a workshop for young people. For example, the proposal department might propose a family-oriented cultural festival and develop a concrete implementation plan. It could also propose an IT course for senior citizens and develop a concrete implementation plan. It could also propose a workshop for young people and develop a concrete implementation plan. The proposal department then develops detailed implementation plans to bring these event ideas to life. These plans include the event's purpose and content, date, time, location, target participants and recruitment methods, budget, and necessary resources. The proposal department considers local needs and trends while designing the event's content and format, creating a program that participants can enjoy while learning. For example, a family-oriented cultural festival might include workshops and games for parents and children to enjoy together, as well as exhibits and performances showcasing local traditional culture. The IT courses for seniors will include programs teaching beginners how to use computers and smartphones, as well as safe internet usage. Workshops for young people will offer programs aimed at creative activities and skill development, promoting interaction among young people. It is also important for the proposal department to collaborate with local stakeholders and organizations to realize these event proposals. The proposal department will coordinate with stakeholders and build cooperative systems to ensure the smooth operation of the events. In this way, the proposal department can concretize event proposals that meet local needs, develop implementation plans, deepen local connections, and revitalize community activities.
[0033] The data collection unit can collect residents' opinions and requests. For example, the data collection unit can collect residents' opinions and requests through questionnaires. The data collection unit can also collect residents' specific opinions and requests through interviews. The data collection unit can also hold workshops to provide residents with an opportunity to express their opinions directly. In this way, by collecting residents' opinions and requests, the needs of the community can be understood. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the questionnaire results into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform an analysis of residents' opinions and requests.
[0034] The analysis unit can analyze local needs and trends based on local voices and online feedback. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected data using data mining techniques. The analysis unit can also analyze the collected data using text analysis techniques. The analysis unit can also analyze the collected data using statistical analysis techniques. This allows for the understanding of local needs and trends by analyzing data based on local voices and online feedback. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using generative AI, or they may be performed without generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the analysis of local needs and trends.
[0035] The proposal department can generate events that can be enjoyed by participants of all generations, such as family-oriented cultural festivals or IT courses for seniors.

By generating events that can be enjoyed by participants of all generations, it is possible to deepen community ties. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal department may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the proposal department can have a generation AI perform the generation of event proposals.
[0036] The proposal department can analyze resident participation data in real time and flexibly adjust the event content and schedule. For example, the proposal department can adjust the event content based on participant feedback. The proposal department can also adjust the event schedule based on participant feedback. The proposal department can flexibly adjust the event content and schedule based on participant feedback. This allows for the provision of events that are more accessible to a wider range of residents by analyzing resident participation data in real time and flexibly adjusting the event content and schedule. Some or all of the above-described processes in the proposal department may be performed using a generative AI, or they may not be performed using a generative AI. For example, the proposal department can input participation data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform adjustments to the event content and schedule.
[0037] The collection unit can analyze residents' past opinion submission history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the collection unit can select the optimal collection method based on the frequency of opinions previously submitted by residents. The collection unit can also analyze the content of opinions previously submitted by residents and prepare relevant questions. The collection unit can also prioritize suggesting collection methods previously used by residents (online, in-person, etc.). This allows the collection unit to select the optimal collection method by analyzing residents' past opinion submission history. Some or all of the above processes in the collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the collection unit can input past opinion submission history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal collection method.
[0038] The data collection unit can filter opinions and requests based on residents' current living situations and areas of interest. For example, the data collection unit can collect relevant opinions and requests based on residents' living situations (work, family, etc.). The data collection unit can also collect relevant opinions and requests based on residents' areas of interest (hobbies, interests, etc.). The data collection unit can also determine the priority of opinions and requests to be collected based on residents' living situations and areas of interest. This allows for the collection of more relevant opinions and requests by filtering based on residents' current living situations and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input data on residents' living situations and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0039] The collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant opinions and requests by considering the geographical location information of residents. For example, the collection unit can prioritize collecting opinions related to local issues based on the geographical location information of residents. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting opinions related to nearby events based on the geographical location information of residents. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting opinions related to local needs based on the geographical location information of residents. In this way, by considering the geographical location information of residents, it is possible to prioritize collecting opinions related to local issues. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the collection unit can input the geographical location information of residents into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the collection of highly relevant opinions.
[0040] The collection unit can analyze residents' social media activity and collect relevant opinions when gathering opinions and requests. For example, the collection unit can analyze residents' social media activity and collect relevant opinions. Based on residents' social media activity, the collection unit can also collect opinions on topics of high interest. Based on residents' social media activity, the collection unit can also collect opinions related to local issues. In this way, relevant opinions can be collected by analyzing residents' social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the collection unit can input residents' social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the collection of relevant opinions.
[0041] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the opinions and requests during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis on opinions and requests of high importance. The analysis unit can also perform a concise analysis on opinions and requests of low importance. The analysis unit can also determine the priority of the analysis according to importance. This allows for a more detailed analysis of more important opinions and requests by adjusting the level of detail based on the importance of the opinions and requests. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generation AI, or it may be performed without a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance data of opinions and requests into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0042] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of opinions and requests during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply a specific analysis algorithm to opinions and requests directed at the elderly. The analysis unit can also apply a different analysis algorithm to opinions and requests directed at young people. The analysis unit can also apply yet another analysis algorithm to opinions and requests directed at families. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of opinions and requests, more appropriate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input opinion and request category data into a generative AI and have the generative AI execute the application of the analysis algorithm.
[0043] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on when opinions and requests were submitted. For example, the analysis unit will prioritize the analysis of recently submitted opinions and requests. The analysis unit can also determine the priority of analysis based on the submission date. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the submission date. This allows for a faster response by determining the priority of analysis based on when opinions and requests were submitted.

For example, the analysis unit can input the submission date data of opinions and requests into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the determination of the analysis priority.
[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of opinions and requests during the analysis process. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of highly relevant opinions and requests. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis based on relevance. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the relevance. This allows for prioritizing the analysis of more relevant opinions and requests by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of opinions and requests. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using a generating AI, or they may be performed without a generating AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the relevance data of opinions and requests into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the analysis order.
[0045] The proposal unit can adjust the level of detail of a proposal based on the importance of the event. For example, the proposal unit can provide detailed proposals for high-importance events, and concise proposals for low-importance events. The proposal unit can also prioritize proposals according to their importance. This allows for more detailed proposals to be provided for more important events by adjusting the level of detail based on the importance of the event. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using a generative AI, or it may be performed without a generative AI. For example, the proposal unit can input event importance data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the level of detail of the proposal.
[0046] The suggestion unit can apply different suggestion algorithms depending on the event category when making suggestions. For example, the suggestion unit can apply a specific suggestion algorithm to events for the elderly. The suggestion unit can also apply a different suggestion algorithm to events for young people. The suggestion unit can also apply yet another suggestion algorithm to events for families. By applying different suggestion algorithms depending on the event category, it is possible to provide more appropriate suggestions.

For example, the proposal unit can input event relevance data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the adjustment of the order of proposals.
[0049] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0050] The data collection department can adjust its collection methods when gathering residents' opinions and requests, taking into account their health data. For example, if a resident is in good health, the department can conduct face-to-face interviews. If a resident's health is unstable, the department can conduct online questionnaires. Furthermore, based on residents' health data, the department can prioritize collecting opinions and requests related to health. This allows for the collection of opinions and requests from a larger number of residents by selecting appropriate collection methods according to their health status.
[0051] The analytics department can analyze local needs and trends based on local voices and online feedback, taking into account residents' purchasing history. For example, it can identify popular products and services in the area based on residents' purchasing history. It can also grasp local consumption trends based on residents' purchasing history. Furthermore, it can generate event proposals that match local needs based on residents' purchasing history. By considering residents' purchasing history, it can provide more accurate analytical results.
[0052] The proposal department, based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department, can consider residents' hobbies and interests when generating event proposals that transcend generations. For example, the proposal department can propose sports events based on residents' hobbies. It can also propose cultural events based on residents' interests. Furthermore, the proposal department can propose workshops and seminars based on residents' hobbies and interests. By generating event proposals that match residents' hobbies and interests, it becomes possible to provide events that are more accessible to a wider range of residents.
[0053] The proposal department can analyze resident participation data in real time and flexibly adjust event content and schedules, taking residents' transportation methods into consideration when making suggestions. For example, based on residents' transportation methods, the proposal department can suggest events in locations easily accessible by public transport. It can also suggest events in locations with ample parking facilities. Furthermore, it can suggest events within walking distance based on residents' transportation methods. By generating event proposals tailored to residents' transportation methods, it is possible to provide events that are more accessible to a wider range of residents.
[0054] The collection department can adjust the timing of collecting residents' opinions and requests, taking into account their daily routines. For example, the collection department can conduct surveys during the time residents are returning home from work. They can also conduct interviews during times when residents are relaxing on their days off. Furthermore, the collection department can adjust the timing of collecting opinions and requests based on residents' daily routines. This allows for the collection of opinions and requests from a wider range of residents by selecting appropriate collection timings that align with their lifestyles.
[0055] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0056] Step 1: The collection team gathers local voices and online feedback. For example, the collection team collects residents' opinions and requests through surveys, interviews, and workshops. Online surveys can be conducted to collect residents' opinions and requests. Specific opinions and requests can be collected through interviews, and workshops can be held to provide residents with an opportunity to express their opinions directly. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to understand local needs and trends. For example, the analysis unit uses data mining techniques, text analysis techniques, and statistical analysis techniques to analyze the collected data. By using data mining techniques, local needs can be identified; by using text analysis techniques, residents' opinions and requests can be analyzed; and by using statistical analysis techniques, local trends can be understood. Step 3: Based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department, the proposal department generates intergenerational event proposals and develops implementation plans. For example, the proposal department proposes a family-oriented cultural festival, IT courses for the elderly, and workshops for young people, and develops concrete implementation plans. This will deepen community ties and revitalize community activities.
[0057] (Example of form 2) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses an AI agent to analyze local needs and propose intergenerational events in order to solve the stagnation of community activities caused by the aging of the local population and lack of cooperation with young people. This system collects local voices and online feedback, and a generating AI analyzes the collected data to grasp local needs and trends. Next, the generating AI generates event proposals that are attractive to all generations and formulates an implementation plan. This mechanism deepens connections with the community and revitalizes community activities. For example, the system digitizes opinions and requests from residents and visualizes local issues. For example, it collects information such as what kind of events residents want to participate in and what problems they have. This makes it possible to grasp local needs. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected data. The generating AI analyzes local needs and trends based on local voices and online feedback. For example, it can identify events that are easy for the elderly to participate in and activities that young people are interested in. This makes it possible to generate event proposals that are tailored to local needs. Based on the generated event proposals, an implementation plan is formulated. The generating AI generates event proposals that are attractive to all generations based on local needs and formulates a concrete implementation plan. For example, we propose events that can be enjoyed by participants of all generations, such as family-friendly cultural festivals and IT courses for seniors. This will deepen community ties and revitalize community activities. For instance, in a family-friendly cultural festival, the joint operation by seniors and young people will promote intergenerational exchange. In an IT course for seniors, young people can act as instructors, teaching digital technology to seniors and bridging the digital divide in the community. Furthermore, the generation AI will analyze resident participation data in real time to optimize events. For example, it can flexibly adjust the content and schedule of events based on participant feedback. This will allow us to provide events that are more accessible to a wider range of residents. Looking ahead, we envision strengthening collaboration with local communities and government agencies and expanding to other regions. For example, introducing a similar system in other regions could promote the revitalization of the entire area.Furthermore, as a long-term vision, it is possible to aim for the creation of a trusting network and the realization of a sustainable society in which people actively participate. In this way, by utilizing AI agents, it is possible to listen to the voices of the community, propose events tailored to local needs, and deepen connections with the community. This can resolve the stagnation of community activities caused by the aging population and lack of collaboration with young people, and revitalize the entire region.

By combining these methods, the department can collect a wide range of diverse opinions and requests from residents. For example, online surveys allow residents to easily submit their opinions from home, enabling the collection of many opinions in a short period. Interviews allow for a deeper exploration of each resident's specific opinions and requests, providing more detailed information. Workshops are expected to generate new ideas and solutions through the exchange of opinions among residents. The data collection department centrally manages this data and prepares it for provision to the analysis department. During the data collection process, measures are taken to ensure privacy protection and data accuracy. For example, during surveys and interviews, explanations regarding the handling of personal information are provided, and data is collected only after obtaining consent. Furthermore, the collected data is anonymized and encrypted and stored securely. This allows the data collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively while gaining the trust of residents.
[0060] The analysis department analyzes the data collected by the data collection department to understand local needs and trends.

It could also propose an IT course for senior citizens and develop a concrete implementation plan. It could also propose a workshop for young people and develop a concrete implementation plan. The proposal department then develops detailed implementation plans to bring these event ideas to life. These plans include the event's purpose and content, date, time, location, target participants and recruitment methods, budget, and necessary resources. The proposal department considers local needs and trends while designing the event's content and format, creating a program that participants can enjoy while learning. For example, a family-oriented cultural festival might include workshops and games for parents and children to enjoy together, as well as exhibits and performances showcasing local traditional culture. The IT courses for seniors will include programs teaching beginners how to use computers and smartphones, as well as safe internet usage. Workshops for young people will offer programs aimed at creative activities and skill development, promoting interaction among young people. It is also important for the proposal department to collaborate with local stakeholders and organizations to realize these event proposals. The proposal department will coordinate with stakeholders and build cooperative systems to ensure the smooth operation of the events.

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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.

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.
