Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text).

The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as 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.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[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. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48.

The smart device 14 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.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) The task management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for facilitating the understanding of a wide range of tasks from the perspective of consumer sales. This task management system creates a task database that centrally manages various tasks such as training participation and inventory management distributed from each back-office department. This task database includes a variety of tasks distributed at the individual, organizational, and store levels, such as training participation, various inventory management, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews. For example, tasks such as demo unit inventory, GINIE inventory, and content learning are registered in the database. Next, an AI agent is launched that can retrieve tasks according to the user's request. This AI agent reconstructs tasks based on the deadline and unit specified by the user and provides daily notifications. For example, if a user requests, "Tell me tomorrow's tasks," the AI ​​agent retrieves the relevant tasks from the task database and generates a daily notification. Furthermore, the AI ​​agent generates a format (table format) that can be used to distribute tasks within the organization or to agencies. For example, the progress and completion status of tasks can be distributed in a table format to each department within the organization or to agencies. This makes it easier to grasp tasks and enables efficient work execution. The task management system makes it easier to understand the diverse tasks from a consumer sales perspective, leading to increased work efficiency. For example, by centrally managing tasks distributed from various back-office departments, it prevents tasks from being overlooked or duplicated, allowing for more efficient work. Furthermore, daily notifications and task distribution by AI agents allow users to track task progress in real time. This is expected to improve work efficiency and productivity.

[0029] The task management system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, a reconfiguration unit, a notification unit, and a distribution unit. The acquisition unit retrieves tasks from a task database. The acquisition unit can retrieve tasks such as training attendance, various inventory tasks, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews from the task database. The reconfiguration unit reconfigures the tasks retrieved by the acquisition unit. The reconfiguration unit can reconfigure tasks based on a date or unit specified by the user, for example. The notification unit provides daily notifications of tasks reconfigured by the reconfiguration unit. The notification unit can provide daily notifications of reconfigured tasks, for example. The distribution unit distributes tasks reconfigured by the reconfiguration unit to the organization or to agents, for example. The distribution unit can distribute reconfigured tasks to the organization or to agents, for example. As a result, the task management system can efficiently acquire, reconfigure, notify, and distribute tasks.

[0030] The retrieval unit retrieves tasks from the task database. For example, it can retrieve tasks such as training sessions, various inventory tasks, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews from the task database. Specifically, the retrieval unit accesses the task database and filters and extracts tasks according to the user's permissions and roles. For example, administrators can view and retrieve all tasks, while general users can only retrieve tasks assigned to them. The retrieval unit also retrieves metadata such as task priority, deadline, and progress, allowing users to understand the overall task picture. Furthermore, the retrieval unit allows users to set the frequency and timing of task retrieval and has a function to automatically retrieve new tasks by periodically scanning the task database. This ensures users always have access to the latest task information, preventing missed or delayed tasks. The retrieval unit also integrates with other systems via APIs, retrieving tasks from external task management tools and project management systems. This enables centralized task management across different systems, improving operational efficiency.

[0031] The reconfiguration unit reconfigures tasks retrieved by the retrieval unit. For example, the reconfiguration unit can reconfigure tasks based on user-specified deadlines or units. Specifically, the reconfiguration unit rearranges tasks according to the user's schedule and priorities, supporting efficient task management. For instance, if a user wants to manage tasks on a weekly basis, the reconfiguration unit generates a weekly task list and sorts each task in the optimal order based on its due date and importance. The reconfiguration unit also optimizes the task execution order by considering task dependencies and postponing tasks whose prerequisites are not met. Furthermore, the reconfiguration unit can analyze the user's past task execution history and performance data to suggest the optimal task allocation for each individual user. For example, it can improve overall work efficiency by prioritizing the assignment of tasks to users who perform well on specific tasks. The reconfiguration unit can also monitor task progress in real time and rearrange or reschedule tasks as needed. This allows users to always perform optimal task management, preventing delays and duplication of work.

[0032] The notification unit provides daily notifications for tasks restructured by the restructuring unit. Specifically, the notification unit sends task reminders at a set time each day based on user settings. Multiple notification methods are available, including email, SMS, and push notifications, allowing users to choose their preferred method. Furthermore, the notification unit prioritizes notifications based on task importance and deadlines, using more powerful notification methods for critical or urgent tasks. For example, tasks with deadlines approaching can be alerted via push notifications or voice alerts. The notification unit also monitors task progress and completion status in real time and repeatedly sends reminders for incomplete tasks. This allows users to stay informed about task progress and complete tasks without forgetting. Additionally, the notification unit shares the task status of the entire team, facilitating information sharing and collaboration among team members. This streamlines team task management and ensures smooth project progress.

[0033] The distribution department distributes tasks restructured by the restructuring department to the organization and its agents. Specifically, the distribution department assigns tasks to the appropriate personnel or departments based on their content and importance. For example, tasks related to a specific project are distributed to the project team, with each member receiving tasks according to their role. The distribution department also distributes tasks related to sales promotion and marketing to agents, supporting them in efficiently carrying out their duties. The distribution department monitors task distribution status and recipient responses in real time, and can redistribute or follow up on tasks as needed. For example, if a task remains unread or is not completed by the deadline, it sends another notification to encourage completion. The distribution department also records task distribution history for later reference, which is useful for task progress management and evaluation. This allows the distribution department to efficiently distribute and manage tasks, improving overall organizational efficiency. Furthermore, the distribution unit generates reports on task distribution, allowing administrators to quickly grasp the progress and completion status of tasks. This enables administrators to properly monitor task progress and take necessary actions promptly.

[0034] The acquisition unit can retrieve tasks such as training participation, various inventory counts, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews from the task database. For example, the acquisition unit can retrieve the content of training sessions, the types of inventory counts, and the subjects of e-learning courses from the task database. This allows for centralized management and efficient retrieval of diverse tasks. Some or all of the above-described processes in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the tasks retrieved from the task database into a generating AI and analyze the content of the tasks.

[0035] The reconfiguration unit can reconfigure tasks based on the due date and unit specified by the user. For example, the reconfiguration unit can reconfigure tasks based on the due date format, the type of unit (hour, day, week, etc.), etc. This makes it possible to reconfigure tasks according to the user's requests. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reconfiguration unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reconfiguration unit can input the due date and unit specified by the user into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task reconfiguration.

[0036] The notification unit can send daily notifications of the restructured tasks. The notification unit can send daily notifications of the restructured tasks based, for example, on the time of notification and the notification method (email, app notification, etc.). This allows for real-time monitoring of task progress. Some or all of the above-described processes in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the notification unit can input the restructured tasks into a generation AI and have the generation AI execute the daily notifications.

[0037] The distribution unit can distribute the restructured tasks within the organization and to its agents. For example, the distribution unit can distribute the restructured tasks within the organization and to its agents based on selection criteria for recipients and distribution methods (email, chat tools, etc.). This allows for efficient distribution of task progress within the organization and to its agents. Some or all of the above-described processes in the distribution unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the distribution unit can input the restructured tasks into a generation AI and have the generation AI execute the distribution content.

[0038] The acquisition unit can analyze the user's past task history and select the optimal acquisition method. For example, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks that the user has frequently performed in the past. The acquisition unit can also suggest an efficient acquisition method based on the user's past task history. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can analyze the user's past task history and acquire tasks at the optimal timing. This allows for efficient task acquisition based on the user's past task history. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's past task history into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the optimal acquisition method.

[0039] The acquisition unit can filter tasks based on the user's current work situation and areas of interest when acquiring tasks. For example, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks related to the work the user is currently working on. It can also acquire highly relevant tasks based on the user's areas of interest. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks that are less burdensome, taking into account the user's work situation. This allows for the efficient acquisition of tasks that match the user's work situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input data on the user's work situation and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.

[0040] The acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks that are highly relevant to the user, taking into account the user's geographical location information when acquiring tasks. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks related to that region. It can also prioritize acquiring tasks that can be performed in locations close to the user's current location. Furthermore, based on the user's travel plans, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks that can be performed at their destination. This allows the acquisition of highly relevant tasks based on the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute highly relevant tasks.

[0041] The acquisition unit can analyze the user's social media activity when acquiring tasks and acquire relevant tasks. For example, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks that the user has mentioned on social media. The acquisition unit can also acquire tasks of interest from the user's social media activity. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can acquire tasks at the optimal timing based on the user's activity time on social media. This allows the acquisition of relevant tasks based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the relevant tasks.

[0042] The reconstruction unit can adjust the level of detail in the reconstruction based on the importance of the tasks. For example, the reconstruction unit can reconstruct high-importance tasks in detail and low-importance tasks in a simplified manner. The reconstruction unit can also determine the priority of the reconstruction according to the importance of the tasks. Furthermore, the reconstruction unit can perform reconstructions that include detailed procedures for high-importance tasks. This enables detailed reconstruction according to the importance of the tasks. Some or all of the above processes in the reconstruction unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reconstruction unit can input task importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the reconstruction with the appropriate level of detail.

[0060] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0061] Step 1: The retrieval unit retrieves tasks from the task database. For example, tasks such as training participation, various inventory counts, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews can be retrieved from the task database. Step 2: The reconfiguration unit reconfigures the tasks retrieved by the acquisition unit. For example, tasks can be reconfigured based on a deadline or unit specified by the user. Step 3: The notification unit provides daily notifications for tasks reconfigured by the reconfiguration unit. For example, it can provide daily notifications for reconfigured tasks. Step 4: The distribution unit distributes the reconfigured tasks within the organization and to agencies. For example, the reconfigured tasks can be distributed within the organization and to agencies.

[0062] (Example of form 2) The task management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for facilitating the understanding of a wide range of tasks from the perspective of consumer sales. This task management system creates a task database that centrally manages various tasks such as training participation and inventory management distributed from each back-office department. This task database includes a variety of tasks distributed at the individual, organizational, and store levels, such as training participation, various inventory management, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews. For example, tasks such as demo unit inventory, GINIE inventory, and content learning are registered in the database. Next, an AI agent is launched that can retrieve tasks according to the user's request. This AI agent reconstructs tasks based on the deadline and unit specified by the user and provides daily notifications. For example, if a user requests, "Tell me tomorrow's tasks," the AI ​​agent retrieves the relevant tasks from the task database and generates a daily notification. Furthermore, the AI ​​agent generates a format (table format) that can be used to distribute tasks within the organization or to agencies. For example, the progress and completion status of tasks can be distributed in a table format to each department within the organization or to agencies. This makes it easier to grasp tasks and enables efficient work execution. The task management system makes it easier to understand the diverse tasks from a consumer sales perspective, leading to increased work efficiency. For example, by centrally managing tasks distributed from various back-office departments, it prevents tasks from being overlooked or duplicated, allowing for more efficient work. Furthermore, daily notifications and task distribution by AI agents allow users to track task progress in real time. This is expected to improve work efficiency and productivity.

[0063] The task management system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, a reconfiguration unit, a notification unit, and a distribution unit. The acquisition unit retrieves tasks from a task database. The acquisition unit can retrieve tasks such as training attendance, various inventory tasks, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews from the task database. The reconfiguration unit reconfigures the tasks retrieved by the acquisition unit. The reconfiguration unit can reconfigure tasks based on a date or unit specified by the user, for example. The notification unit provides daily notifications of tasks reconfigured by the reconfiguration unit. The notification unit can provide daily notifications of reconfigured tasks, for example. The distribution unit distributes tasks reconfigured by the reconfiguration unit to the organization or to agents, for example. The distribution unit can distribute reconfigured tasks to the organization or to agents, for example. As a result, the task management system can efficiently acquire, reconfigure, notify, and distribute tasks.

[0064] The retrieval unit retrieves tasks from the task database. For example, it can retrieve tasks such as training sessions, various inventory tasks, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews from the task database. Specifically, the retrieval unit accesses the task database and filters and extracts tasks according to the user's permissions and roles. For example, administrators can view and retrieve all tasks, while general users can only retrieve tasks assigned to them. The retrieval unit also retrieves metadata such as task priority, deadline, and progress, allowing users to understand the overall task picture. Furthermore, the retrieval unit allows users to set the frequency and timing of task retrieval and has a function to automatically retrieve new tasks by periodically scanning the task database. This ensures users always have access to the latest task information, preventing missed or delayed tasks. The retrieval unit also integrates with other systems via APIs, retrieving tasks from external task management tools and project management systems. This enables centralized task management across different systems, improving operational efficiency.

[0065] The reconfiguration unit reconfigures tasks retrieved by the retrieval unit. For example, the reconfiguration unit can reconfigure tasks based on user-specified deadlines or units. Specifically, the reconfiguration unit rearranges tasks according to the user's schedule and priorities, supporting efficient task management. For instance, if a user wants to manage tasks on a weekly basis, the reconfiguration unit generates a weekly task list and sorts each task in the optimal order based on its due date and importance. The reconfiguration unit also optimizes the task execution order by considering task dependencies and postponing tasks whose prerequisites are not met. Furthermore, the reconfiguration unit can analyze the user's past task execution history and performance data to suggest the optimal task allocation for each individual user. For example, it can improve overall work efficiency by prioritizing the assignment of tasks to users who perform well on specific tasks. The reconfiguration unit can also monitor task progress in real time and rearrange or reschedule tasks as needed. This allows users to always perform optimal task management, preventing delays and duplication of work.

[0066] The notification unit provides daily notifications for tasks restructured by the restructuring unit. Specifically, the notification unit sends task reminders at a set time each day based on user settings. Multiple notification methods are available, including email, SMS, and push notifications, allowing users to choose their preferred method. Furthermore, the notification unit prioritizes notifications based on task importance and deadlines, using more powerful notification methods for critical or urgent tasks. For example, tasks with deadlines approaching can be alerted via push notifications or voice alerts. The notification unit also monitors task progress and completion status in real time and repeatedly sends reminders for incomplete tasks. This allows users to stay informed about task progress and complete tasks without forgetting. Additionally, the notification unit shares the task status of the entire team, facilitating information sharing and collaboration among team members. This streamlines team task management and ensures smooth project progress.

[0067] The distribution department distributes tasks restructured by the restructuring department to the organization and its agents. Specifically, the distribution department assigns tasks to the appropriate personnel or departments based on their content and importance. For example, tasks related to a specific project are distributed to the project team, with each member receiving tasks according to their role. The distribution department also distributes tasks related to sales promotion and marketing to agents, supporting them in efficiently carrying out their duties. The distribution department monitors task distribution status and recipient responses in real time, and can redistribute or follow up on tasks as needed. For example, if a task remains unread or is not completed by the deadline, it sends another notification to encourage completion. The distribution department also records task distribution history for later reference, which is useful for task progress management and evaluation. This allows the distribution department to efficiently distribute and manage tasks, improving overall organizational efficiency. Furthermore, the distribution unit generates reports on task distribution, allowing administrators to quickly grasp the progress and completion status of tasks. This enables administrators to properly monitor task progress and take necessary actions promptly.

For example, the acquisition unit can input data on the user's work situation and areas of interest into a generating AI, and have the generating AI perform the filtering.

[0104] The acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring tasks that are highly relevant to the user, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, it can prioritize acquiring tasks related to that region. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquiring tasks that can be performed in locations close to the user's current location.

[0106] The reconstruction unit can adjust the level of detail in the reconstruction based on the importance of the tasks. For example, high-importance tasks can be reconstructed in detail, while low-importance tasks can be reconstructed in a simplified manner. The reconstruction unit can also determine the priority of the reconstruction according to the importance of the tasks. Furthermore, the reconstruction unit can perform reconstructions that include detailed procedures for high-importance tasks. This enables detailed reconstruction according to the importance of the tasks. Some or all of the above processes in the reconstruction unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reconstruction unit can input task importance data into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute the level of detail in the reconstruction.

[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0108] Step 1: The retrieval unit retrieves tasks from the task database. For example, tasks such as training participation, various inventory counts, e-learning, HR-related interviews, and sales promotion interviews can be retrieved from the task database. Step 2: The reconfiguration unit reconfigures the tasks retrieved by the acquisition unit. For example, tasks can be reconfigured based on a deadline or unit specified by the user. Step 3: The notification unit provides daily notifications for tasks reconfigured by the reconfiguration unit. For example, it can provide daily notifications for reconfigured tasks. Step 4: The distribution unit distributes the reconfigured tasks within the organization and to agencies. For example, the reconfigured tasks can be distributed within the organization and to agencies.

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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the acquisition unit, reconstruction unit, notification unit, and distribution 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 control unit 46A of the robot 414 and retrieves tasks from the task database. The reconstruction unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and reconstructs tasks based on the due date and unit specified by the user. The notification unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides daily notifications of the reconstructed tasks. The distribution unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and can distribute the reconstructed tasks within the organization or to agents. 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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."

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
