[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. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] 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.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

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 Feelium system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that integrates generating AI and smart home appliances to automatically provide an optimal environment tailored to the user's daily emotions and physical condition. The Feelium system acquires heart rate and sleep data from a smartwatch or smartphone, and the AI ​​estimates stress and fatigue levels. Furthermore, it analyzes the user's speech and facial expression data to understand their emotional state for the day. Based on this information, it optimizes appliance settings such as lighting, music, and room temperature to create a relaxing space. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the Feelium system changes the lighting to a warm color, plays relaxing music, and adjusts the room temperature to a comfortable level. This allows the user to have a relaxing space. The Feelium system can also be set to automatically turn on the lights and play relaxing music when the user returns home. This reduces daily stress and fatigue, allowing the user to live a comfortable life. The Feelium system is a next-generation smart home agent that makes each user's life more comfortable and healthy. As a result, the Feelium system can automatically provide an optimal environment tailored to the user's emotions and physical condition.

[0029] The Feelium system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, an optimization unit, and a provision unit. The acquisition unit acquires data. For example, the acquisition unit acquires heart rate and sleep data from a smartwatch or smartphone. For example, the acquisition unit acquires heart rate data in real time to monitor the user's stress level. The acquisition unit can also acquire sleep data intensively at night to evaluate the user's fatigue level. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can periodically acquire the user's activity data to evaluate their activity level during the day. The analysis unit analyzes the data acquired by the acquisition unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's speech and facial expression data to understand their emotional state for the day. For example, the analysis unit uses speech recognition technology to analyze the user's speech content and estimate their emotional state. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use image recognition technology to analyze the user's facial expression data to understand their emotional state. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's heart rate data and sleep data to evaluate their stress level and fatigue level. The optimization unit optimizes the home appliance settings based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The optimization unit optimizes appliance settings such as lighting, music, and room temperature. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the optimization unit may change the lighting to a warmer color, play relaxing music, and adjust the room temperature to a comfortable level. The optimization unit can also adjust appliance settings to maintain a comfortable environment if the user is relaxed. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the optimization unit can optimize appliance settings to provide an environment that promotes rest. The provisioning unit provides the appliance settings optimized by the optimization unit. For example, the provisioning unit provides the user with optimized lighting and music settings. For example, the provisioning unit may set the lights to automatically turn on and relaxing music to play when the user returns home. The provisioning unit can also adjust the optimized appliance settings in real time to provide the user with a relaxing environment. As a result, the Feelium system according to this embodiment can automatically provide an optimal environment tailored to the user's daily emotions and physical condition.

[0030] The data acquisition unit acquires data. For example, it acquires heart rate and sleep data from smartwatches and smartphones. Specifically, smartwatches are worn on the user's wrist and measure heart rate and activity levels in real time using heart rate sensors and accelerometers. This allows for accurate understanding of the user's stress level and activity level. Smartphones use accelerometers and microphones to detect the user's movements, such as turning over in sleep or snoring, in order to acquire sleep data. This allows for detailed analysis of the user's sleep quality and sleep cycle. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit can periodically acquire the user's activity data and evaluate their activity level during the day. For example, it can use the GPS function of smartwatches and smartphones to record the user's distance traveled and steps taken, and evaluate their daily activity level. This allows the data acquisition unit to comprehensively understand the user's health status and lifestyle and collect data to provide to the analysis and optimization units. The data acquisition unit sends this data to a cloud server so that the analysis and optimization units can access it. By adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the data acquisition unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the Feelium system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data acquired by the acquisition unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's speech and facial expression data to understand their emotional state for the day. Specifically, it uses speech recognition technology to analyze the content of the user's speech and estimate their emotional state. Speech recognition technology analyzes the user's voice tone and speaking patterns to identify emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness. It can also use image recognition technology to analyze the user's facial expression data and understand their emotional state. Image recognition technology analyzes the user's facial expressions, eye movements, and mouth shape to identify emotions. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also analyze the user's heart rate data and sleep data to evaluate stress levels and fatigue. For example, it analyzes heart rate data to determine whether the user is feeling stressed, and analyzes sleep data to evaluate the quality of the user's sleep and their fatigue level. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively understand the user's emotional and health state and generate information to provide to the optimization unit. In addition, the analysis unit can utilize past data and statistical information to analyze long-term trends and patterns. For example, based on past heart rate and sleep data, it can predict changes in the user's health status and emotional tendencies, and plan future countermeasures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only monitor the situation in real time but also to handle long-term health management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and safety of the entire Feelium system.

[0032] The optimization unit optimizes appliance settings based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it optimizes appliance settings such as lighting, music, and room temperature. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the optimization unit changes the lighting to a warmer color, plays relaxing music, and adjusts the room temperature to a comfortable level. By adjusting the color temperature and brightness of the lighting, it soothes the user's mood and provides a relaxing environment. Furthermore, for music selection, it chooses songs with high relaxation effects based on the user's preferences and past data. In addition, it controls the air conditioner or heater to adjust the room temperature to a comfortable level for the user. When the user is relaxed, the optimization unit can also adjust appliance settings to maintain a comfortable environment. For example, it keeps the lighting brightness at a moderate level, adjusts the music volume, and maintains a constant room temperature to help the user remain relaxed. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the optimization unit can optimize appliance settings to provide an environment that encourages rest. For example, it dims the lights, plays quiet music, and sets the room temperature slightly lower to provide an environment where the user can rest comfortably. In this way, the optimization unit can provide an optimal environment tailored to the user's emotional and physical state, improving the user's quality of life. Furthermore, the optimization unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of home appliance settings. For example, it can receive feedback on how users felt about the provided environment and adjust the optimization algorithm based on that information. This allows the optimization unit to always provide the optimal environment for the user.

[0033] The service provider provides home appliance settings optimized by the optimization unit. Specifically, it provides users with optimized lighting and music settings. For example, it can set the lights to automatically turn on and relaxing music to play when the user returns home. The service provider works in conjunction with smart home devices to detect the user's return home and simultaneously provide the optimized environment. The service provider can also adjust the optimized home appliance settings in real time to provide the user with a relaxing environment. For example, it can adjust the brightness of the lights and the volume of the music as needed while the user is in the living room to maintain a comfortable environment. Furthermore, the service provider can provide home appliance settings at the optimal time based on the user's schedule and daily routine. For example, it can gradually dim the lights and play relaxing music to match the user's bedtime, providing a comfortable sleeping environment. The service provider can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the environment it provides. For example, it can provide feedback on how the user felt about the provided environment and adjust the service algorithm based on that information. This allows the service provider to always provide the optimal environment for the user. Furthermore, the service provider can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, important information can be reliably delivered not only through smartphone notifications, but also through voice calls, SMS, and email. This allows the service provider to quickly and reliably provide users with the optimal environment, improving the overall reliability of the Feelium system and user satisfaction.

[0034] The data acquisition unit can acquire heart rate and sleep data from smartwatches and smartphones. For example, the data acquisition unit can acquire heart rate data from a smartwatch in real time to monitor the user's stress level. The data acquisition unit can also acquire sleep data from a smartphone mainly at night to evaluate the user's fatigue level. The data acquisition unit can also periodically acquire activity data from smartwatches and smartphones to evaluate the activity level during the day. This allows the data acquisition unit to understand the user's physical condition in real time. Some or all of the above processing in the data acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data acquisition unit can input heart rate data acquired from a smartwatch into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform stress level estimation.

[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the user's speech and facial expression data to understand their emotional state for the day. For example, the analysis unit can use speech recognition technology to analyze the user's speech and estimate their emotional state. For example, if the user is smiling while speaking, the analysis unit will determine that they are in a positive emotional state. The analysis unit can also determine that if the user has a blank or sad expression, they are in a negative emotional state. The analysis unit can also use image recognition technology to analyze the user's facial expression data and understand their emotional state. For example, the analysis unit can calculate an emotional score based on changes in the user's facial expression. This allows the analysis unit to understand the user's emotional state. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's speech data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the estimation of the emotional state.

[0036] The optimization unit can optimize appliance settings such as lighting, music, and room temperature. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the optimization unit may change the lighting to a warmer color, play relaxing music, and adjust the room temperature to a comfortable level. For example, if the user is relaxed, the optimization unit may also adjust appliance settings to maintain a comfortable environment. For example, if the user is tired, the optimization unit may optimize appliance settings to provide an environment that encourages rest. In this way, the optimization unit can provide the user with a relaxing space. Some or all of the above processing in the optimization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the optimization unit can input the user's emotional state into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the optimal appliance settings.

[0037] The service provider can provide users with optimized home appliance settings. For example, the service provider can provide users with optimized lighting and music settings. For example, the service provider can set the lights to automatically turn on and relaxing music to play when the user returns home. The service provider can also adjust the optimized home appliance settings in real time to provide the user with a relaxing environment. In this way, the service provider can provide the user with the best possible environment. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can input the optimized home appliance settings into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the home appliance settings to be provided to the user.

[0038] The analysis unit can analyze user speech and facial expression data using speech recognition and image recognition technologies. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the content of user speech using speech recognition technology and estimate the emotional state. For example, if the user is smiling while speaking, the analysis unit will determine that the emotional state is positive. The analysis unit can also determine that if the user has a blank or sad expression, the emotional state is negative. The analysis unit can also analyze user facial expression data using image recognition technology to understand the emotional state. For example, the analysis unit can calculate an emotional score based on changes in the user's facial expression. This allows the analysis unit to analyze user speech and facial expression data with high accuracy. 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 user speech data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the estimation of the emotional state.

[0039] The data acquisition unit can analyze the user's past data acquisition history and select the optimal acquisition method. For example, the data acquisition unit can identify time periods in the past when the user was in a high-stress state and focus on acquiring data during those times. For example, the data acquisition unit can analyze days in the past when the user had good sleep and refer to the data acquisition method used on those days. For example, the data acquisition unit can review the data acquisition method on days in the past when the user felt fatigued and reflect any improvements. As a result, the data acquisition unit can acquire data in the most optimal way based on the user's past data acquisition history. Some or all of the above processing in the data acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data acquisition unit can input past data acquisition history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal acquisition method.

[0040] The data acquisition unit can filter data based on the user's current activity status and environment. For example, if the user is exercising, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring heart rate data and evaluate exercise intensity. If the user is working, the data acquisition unit can monitor stress levels and suggest appropriate break times. If the user is relaxing, the data acquisition unit can acquire ambient sound data and analyze the relaxation effect. This allows the data acquisition unit to acquire data tailored to the user's activity status and environment. Some or all of the above processing in the data acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data acquisition unit can input user activity status and environmental data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform data filtering.

[0041] The data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location information when acquiring data. For example, if the user is at home, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring indoor environment data to provide a comfortable environment. If the user is out, for example, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring external environment data to provide appropriate advice. If the user is at work, for example, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring stress levels and suggest appropriate break times. In this way, the data acquisition unit can acquire highly relevant data based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the data acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data acquisition unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the acquisition of highly relevant data.

[0042] The data acquisition unit can analyze the user's social media activity and acquire relevant data when acquiring data. For example, if the user is stressed on social media, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring heart rate data and assess the stress level. For example, if the user is relaxed on social media, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring sleep data and analyze the quality of sleep. For example, if the user is tired on social media, the data acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring activity data and assess the degree of fatigue. In this way, the data acquisition unit can acquire relevant data based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data acquisition unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI acquire the relevant data.

[0043] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data during the analysis. For example, if heart rate data is important, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis to evaluate the stress level. For example, if sleep data is important, the analysis unit can also perform a detailed analysis to evaluate the quality of sleep. For example, if activity data is important, the analysis unit can also perform a detailed analysis to evaluate the degree of fatigue. This allows the analysis unit to perform detailed analysis according to the importance of the data. 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 the importance of the 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 data category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to assess stress levels to heart rate data. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to assess sleep quality to sleep data. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm to assess fatigue levels to activity data. This allows the analysis unit to perform appropriate analysis according to the data category. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the data category 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 analysis based on the data acquisition timing during analysis. For example, the analysis unit may prioritize the analysis of the most recent heart rate data to evaluate stress levels. The analysis unit may also prioritize the analysis of the most recent sleep data to evaluate sleep quality. The analysis unit may also prioritize the analysis of the most recent activity data to evaluate fatigue levels. This allows the analysis unit to perform analyses preferentially based on the data acquisition timing. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit may input the data acquisition timing to a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the analysis priority.

[0046] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relationships between the data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis by considering the relationship between heart rate data and sleep data. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis by considering the relationship between activity data and heart rate data. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis by considering the relationship between sleep data and activity data. This allows the analysis unit to perform analysis in an appropriate order based on the relationships between the data. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the relationships between the data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the analysis order.

[0047] The optimization unit can improve the accuracy of optimization by considering the interrelationships between data during the optimization process. For example, the optimization unit can consider the interrelationships between heart rate data and sleep data to provide an optimal environment. The optimization unit can also consider the interrelationships between activity data and heart rate data to provide an optimal environment. The optimization unit can also consider the interrelationships between sleep data and activity data to provide an optimal environment. In this way, the optimization unit can provide an optimal environment based on the interrelationships of data. Some or all of the above-described processes in the optimization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the optimization unit can input the interrelationships of data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the optimization accuracy improvement.

[0048] The optimization unit can perform optimization while taking user attribute information into consideration. For example, the optimization unit can provide an optimal environment according to the user's age. For example, the optimization unit can also provide an optimal environment according to the user's gender. For example, the optimization unit can also provide an optimal environment according to the user's health condition. In this way, the optimization unit can provide an optimal environment based on the user's attribute information. Some or all of the above processing in the optimization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the optimization unit can input user attribute information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the optimization.

[0049] The optimization unit can perform optimization while considering the geographical distribution of the data. For example, if the user is at home, the optimization unit can optimize the indoor environment. For example, if the user is out, the optimization unit can also optimize the external environment. For example, if the user is at work, the optimization unit can also optimize the work environment.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0131] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0132] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0133] 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 processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0134] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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).

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.).

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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 (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.

[0145] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0146] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the acquisition unit, analysis unit, optimization unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the acquisition unit is implemented by the computer 36 of the headset terminal 314 and acquires heart rate and sleep data from a smartwatch or smartphone. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the acquired data to understand the user's emotional state. The optimization unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and optimizes the home appliance settings based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and provides the optimized home appliance settings to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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 processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0150] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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).

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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 (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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the acquisition unit, analysis unit, optimization unit, and provision unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the acquisition unit is implemented by the computer 36 of the robot 414 and acquires heart rate and sleep data from a smartwatch or smartphone. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the acquired data to understand the user's emotional state. The optimization unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and optimizes the home appliance settings based on the analysis results. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides the optimized home appliance settings to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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."

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
