[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure.

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 cross-business application AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automates data linkage and task management between a wide range of business applications (email, web systems, CRM, etc.) used within a company. This system utilizes a business application linkage tool to link with various business applications and understands and executes user instructions through natural language processing. For example, it automates tasks such as automatic email replies, schedule management, and data entry. Furthermore, it utilizes the multimodal function of the business application linkage tool to integrate and analyze data from different systems and provide necessary information in real time. This allows users to operate multiple systems from a single interface. For example, the cross-business application AI agent system allows users to input instructions in natural language. For example, if a user instructs, "Check the schedule for tomorrow's meeting," the system analyzes the instruction, retrieves the necessary information from the schedule management system, and provides it. Also, if a user instructs, "Automatically reply to emails," the system links with the email system and performs automatic replies. Furthermore, if a user instructs, "Enter data," the system links with the data entry system and enters the specified data. This enables the cross-business application AI agent system to automate data linkage between different business applications, centralizing task management and information retrieval. As a result, the cross-business application AI agent system can significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce the burden on employees.
[0029] The cross-business application AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, an integration unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives user instructions. User instructions include, but are not limited to, voice instructions, text instructions, and gesture instructions. The reception unit receives voice instructions using, for example, speech recognition technology. The reception unit can also receive text instructions using a text input interface. Furthermore, the reception unit can also receive gesture instructions using gesture recognition technology. For example, the reception unit converts the user's voice instructions into text using speech recognition technology and sends it to the analysis unit. The text input interface allows the user to input text instructions using a keyboard or touchscreen. Gesture recognition technology detects the user's hand movements or facial expressions with a camera and recognizes them as instructions. The analysis unit analyzes the instructions received by the reception unit. The analysis is performed using, for example, natural language processing, data mining, and machine learning algorithms, but is not limited to these methods. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's instructions using natural language processing technology and understands the intent of the instructions. Furthermore, the analysis unit can extract data related to instructions using data mining techniques. In addition, the analysis unit can learn instruction patterns using machine learning algorithms to improve analysis accuracy. For example, the analysis unit uses natural language processing techniques to perform morphological and grammatical analysis on user instructions to understand their meaning. Data mining techniques are used to extract useful information from large amounts of data, and the analysis unit uses these to extract data related to instructions. Machine learning algorithms learn from past instruction data to improve analysis accuracy for new instructions. The integration unit integrates and analyzes data from different systems based on the instructions analyzed by the analysis unit. Integration and analysis are performed using methods such as data merging methods and analysis algorithms, but are not limited to these examples. For example, the integration unit merges data acquired from different systems and integrates it into a single dataset. The integration unit can also analyze the integrated data using analysis algorithms and extract necessary information.Furthermore, the integration unit can also perform data integrity checks to maintain data consistency. For example, the integration unit merges data obtained from different systems using key items and integrates it into a single dataset. Analysis algorithms are techniques for analyzing the integrated data and extracting necessary information, and the integration unit uses these to analyze the data. Data integrity checks are processes performed to maintain data consistency, and the integration unit uses these to verify data integrity. The provision unit provides the necessary information based on the data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit. Provision is performed, for example, in real time, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the provision unit provides the data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit to the user in real time. The provision unit can also provide information based on user requests. Furthermore, the provision unit can also provide information determined automatically by the system. For example, the provision unit displays the data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit to the user in real time. Information provision based on user requests occurs when a user requests specific information. Information provision determined automatically by the system occurs when the system assesses the user's situation and provides the necessary information. As a result, the cross-business application AI agent system according to the embodiment can efficiently receive and analyze user instructions, integrate and analyze data, and provide necessary information.
[0030] The reception desk receives user instructions. User instructions include, but are not limited to, voice instructions, text instructions, and gesture instructions. The reception desk can, for example, receive voice instructions using speech recognition technology. Speech recognition technology converts user speech into text, and noise reduction and optimization of the speech model are performed to accurately recognize voice instructions. For example, if a user gives a voice instruction saying, "Tell me the schedule for today's meetings," the reception desk converts this speech into text and sends it to the analysis unit. The reception desk can also receive text instructions using a text input interface. The text input interface allows users to input text instructions using a keyboard or touchscreen. For example, if a user texts, "Check the meeting room reservation status," that instruction is sent to the analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception desk can also receive gesture instructions using gesture recognition technology. Gesture recognition technology detects the user's hand movements and facial expressions using a camera and recognizes them as instructions. For example, a user can give an instruction such as "Proceed to the next slide" by waving their hand. This allows the reception desk to support diverse input methods such as voice, text, and gestures, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the reception desk can combine these input methods; for example, it can combine voice and gesture instructions to accept more complex instructions. This enables the reception desk to respond to diverse user needs and receive instructions flexibly and efficiently.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the instructions received by the reception unit. Analysis is performed using methods such as natural language processing, data mining, and machine learning algorithms, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the analysis unit may use natural language processing techniques to analyze user instructions and understand their intent. Natural language processing techniques are techniques that perform morphological and grammatical analysis to understand the meaning of text. For example, if a user instructs "Tell me the weather for tomorrow," the analysis unit understands that this instruction is a request for weather information. The analysis unit can also use data mining techniques to extract data related to the instructions. Data mining techniques are techniques that extract useful information from large amounts of data. For example, if a user instructs "Analyze the sales data for the past year," the analysis unit extracts sales data related to that instruction. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use machine learning algorithms to learn instruction patterns and improve analysis accuracy. Machine learning algorithms are techniques that learn from past instruction data and improve the accuracy of analysis for new instructions. For example, if a user instructs "Prepare the materials for the next meeting," the analysis unit learns that this instruction means preparing the meeting materials. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze instructions received by the reception unit and understand the user's intent. Furthermore, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to perform long-term trend analysis and forecasting. For example, it can predict future sales trends based on past sales data and use this information to formulate business strategies. As a result, the analysis unit can handle not only real-time instruction analysis but also long-term data analysis and forecasting, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0032] The integration unit integrates and analyzes data from different systems based on instructions provided by the analysis unit. Integration and analysis are performed using methods such as data merging techniques and analysis algorithms, but are not limited to these examples. For instance, the integration unit merges data obtained from different systems into a single dataset. Data merging techniques are techniques for combining data based on key items; for example, customer information and purchase history can be integrated using customer ID as the key. The integration unit can also analyze the integrated data using analysis algorithms to extract necessary information. Analysis algorithms are techniques for analyzing integrated data and extracting patterns and trends; for example, customer purchasing behavior can be analyzed to formulate marketing strategies. Furthermore, the integration unit can perform data integrity checks to maintain data consistency. Data integrity checks are processes performed to maintain data consistency, such as removing duplicate data and verifying data accuracy. This allows the integration unit to efficiently integrate and analyze data from different systems. Additionally, the integration unit can share the data integration and analysis results with other systems and departments. For example, the integration department displays the integrated and analyzed data on a dashboard, allowing management and various departments to view the data in real time. This enables the integration department to streamline data management across the entire system and support business decision-making.
[0033] The information delivery department provides necessary information based on data integrated and analyzed by the integration department. This information is provided in real time, but is not limited to such real-time delivery. For example, the information delivery department provides users with data integrated and analyzed by the integration department in real time. Real-time information delivery allows users to instantly obtain the information they need, for example, by allowing users to view the latest sales data through a dashboard. The information delivery department can also provide information based on user requests. This occurs when a user requests specific information; for example, if a user requests "Show me this month's sales report," that report is provided. Furthermore, the information delivery department can provide information determined automatically by the system. This system-driven information delivery involves the system determining the user's situation and providing necessary information; for example, if the system detects that a user is in a meeting, it can automatically provide materials related to the meeting. This allows the information delivery department to quickly provide users with appropriate information and support improved work efficiency. Additionally, the information delivery department can manage the history of information delivery and analyze user trends based on past information delivery history. This allows the information delivery department to provide customized information tailored to user needs and improve user satisfaction.
[0034] The reception desk can receive instructions from users in natural language. For example, users can input instructions into the reception desk in natural language. For instance, if a user instructs, "Check the schedule for tomorrow's meeting," the reception desk will receive that instruction. The reception desk can also receive instructions from users such as, "Automatically reply to emails." Furthermore, the reception desk can receive instructions from users such as, "Enter data." This allows the reception desk to operate intuitively by accepting instructions from users in natural language. Natural language includes, but is not limited to, Japanese, English, and other languages. Some or all of the processing described above in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's natural language instructions into a generating AI and have the generating AI analyze the instructions.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze instructions received by the reception unit using natural language processing. For example, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze user instructions and understand their intent. For instance, if a user instructs the analysis unit to "check the schedule for tomorrow's meeting," the analysis unit analyzes this instruction using natural language processing technology and retrieves the necessary information from the schedule management system. Furthermore, if a user instructs the analysis unit to "automatically reply to an email," the analysis unit can analyze this instruction using natural language processing technology and automatically reply to the email in conjunction with the email system. Additionally, if a user instructs the analysis unit to "enter data," the analysis unit can analyze this instruction using natural language processing technology and input the specified data in conjunction with the data entry system. This improves the analysis unit's ability to understand instructions by analyzing them using natural language processing. Natural language processing includes, but is not limited to, morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input user instructions into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform the analysis of those instructions.
[0036] The integration unit can integrate and analyze data from different systems. For example, the integration unit can merge data obtained from different systems and integrate it into a single dataset. For example, the integration unit can merge schedule data obtained from a schedule management system and email data obtained from an email system and integrate them into a single dataset. The integration unit can also analyze the integrated data using analysis algorithms and extract the necessary information. For example, the integration unit can analyze the integrated data and extract the information that the user needs. Furthermore, the integration unit can perform data integrity checks to maintain data consistency. For example, the integration unit can verify the integrity of the integrated data and provide a consistent dataset. This enables centralized data management by integrating and analyzing data from different systems. Different systems include, but are not limited to, ERP systems, CRM systems, and database systems. Some or all of the above-described processes in the integration unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the integration unit can input data obtained from different systems into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform data integration and analysis.
[0037] The service provider can provide necessary information in real time based on data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit. For example, the service provider can provide the user with data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit in real time. For example, if the user instructs the service provider to "check the schedule for tomorrow's meeting," the service provider can provide the user with schedule data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit in real time. The service provider can also provide the user with email data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit in real time if the user instructs to "automatically reply to emails." Furthermore, if the user instructs the service provider to "enter data," the service provider can provide the user with data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit in real time. This enables the service provider to make quick decisions by providing necessary information in real time. Real time includes, but is not limited to, seconds or milliseconds. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can input data integrated and analyzed by the integration unit into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of providing the necessary information.
[0038] The service department can automate tasks such as automatic email replies, schedule management, and data entry. For example, if a user instructs the service department to "automatically reply to emails," it will work in conjunction with the email system to automatically reply. For example, if a user instructs the service department to "manage the schedule," it will work in conjunction with the schedule management system to manage the schedule. Furthermore, if a user instructs the service department to "enter data," it can work in conjunction with the data entry system to enter the specified data. As a result, the service department can improve its operational efficiency through task automation. Task automation includes, but is not limited to, automatic email replies, schedule management, and data entry. Some or all of the above processes in the service department may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the service department can input user instructions into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the task automation.
[0039] The reception desk can analyze the user's past instruction history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk may prioritize suggesting instruction methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. For example, the reception desk may predict and suggest instruction methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past instruction history. The reception desk can also suggest relevant instruction methods based on the content of instructions the user has given in the past. This improves user convenience by providing the optimal reception method based on past instruction history. Past instruction history includes, but is not limited to, the type, frequency, and success rate of past instructions. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's past instruction history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal reception method.
[0040] The reception unit can filter instructions based on the user's current work status and areas of interest when receiving them. For example, the reception unit can prioritize receiving instructions related to projects the user is currently working on. For example, the reception unit can filter and receive relevant instructions based on the user's areas of interest. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving instructions of high urgency depending on the user's work status. This improves the efficiency of the reception unit by receiving instructions that are tailored to the user's work status and areas of interest. Work status includes, but is not limited to, current projects and task progress. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's work status data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the instruction filtering.
[0041] The reception unit can prioritize receiving instructions that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the reception unit will prioritize receiving instructions related to that location. For example, the reception unit will prioritize receiving instructions related to locations close to the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is on the move, the reception unit can also prioritize receiving instructions related to their destination. This improves the efficiency of the reception unit's operations by allowing it to receive instructions based on the user's geographical location information. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data and IP addresses. Some or all of the processing described above in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location information data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the instruction reception.
[0042] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving instructions and accept relevant instructions. For example, the reception desk can prioritize instructions related to what the user has mentioned on social media. For example, the reception desk can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and accept relevant instructions. The reception desk can also accept relevant instructions based on the activity of the user's social media followers and friends. This improves the efficiency of the reception desk's operations by allowing it to accept instructions based on the user's social media activity. Social media activity includes, but is not limited to, the content of posts, the number of likes, and the number of followers. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the instruction acceptance.
[0043] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the instructions. For example, for instructions of high importance, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis and provides comprehensive information. For instructions of low importance, the analysis unit performs a simplified analysis and provides only the necessary minimum information. The analysis unit can also perform a rapid analysis and provide immediate results for instructions of high urgency. In this way, the analysis unit improves the accuracy of the analysis by performing analysis according to the importance of the instructions. The importance of instructions includes, but is not limited to, the degree of impact on business operations and urgency. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input instruction importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the level of detail of the analysis.
[0044] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the instruction when analyzing the instruction. For example, the analysis unit can apply a natural language processing algorithm to email-related instructions. For example, the analysis unit can apply a calendar analysis algorithm to schedule management-related instructions. The analysis unit can also apply a data analysis algorithm to data entry-related instructions. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by applying an analysis algorithm appropriate to the category of the instruction. The categories of instructions include, but are not limited to, work instructions, technical instructions, and management instructions. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input instruction category data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the application of the analysis algorithm.
[0045] The analysis unit can determine the priority of the analysis based on the submission date of the instructions.

The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0127] 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.).
[0128] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing.

In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0129] 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.

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.

[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0149] 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.
[0150] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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).
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.).
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0163] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, integration unit, and provision unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit receives voice instructions from the user using the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and transmits those instructions to the data processing unit 12 via the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the user's instructions using natural language processing technology. The integration unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and integrates and analyzes data from different systems. The provision unit provides information to the user using, for example, the speaker 240 or display device of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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."
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
