[0028] (Example of form 1) The contest judging system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that improves the contest judging method by utilizing generative AI and realizes the evaluation of ideas alone. In this contest judging system, the generative AI analyzes the initial judging materials and evaluates the ideas. Next, the generative AI unearths past contest cases and re-evaluates them. Furthermore, the system aims to monetize the contest by turning it into a solution and selling it externally. For example, in the contest judging system, the generative AI analyzes the initial judging materials. In this process, the generative AI analyzes the submitted materials and evaluates the ideas. For example, it can evaluate the originality, feasibility, and social impact of the ideas. This makes it possible to evaluate ideas alone, without depending on presentation skills. Next, the contest judging system uses the generative AI to unearth and re-evaluate past contest cases. For example, it can re-evaluate ideas that did not advance to the final judging in past contests and unearth excellent ideas. This ensures that past ideas are also effectively utilized. Furthermore, the contest judging system aims to monetize the contest by turning it into a solution and selling it externally. Specifically, this involves providing services that undertake the holding and operation of contests, or offering the generative AI judging system as SaaS. Furthermore, the program also provides support for patent application procedures and new business development. This enables revenue generation through the external sale of contest results. This system allows for the evaluation of ideas alone, and past ideas are also effectively utilized. In addition, the ability to monetize contest results through external sale is expected to revitalize the industry and create collaborative ideas. As a result, the contest judging system can efficiently evaluate ideas.
[0029] The contest judging system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, an evaluation unit, and a discovery unit. The acquisition unit acquires primary judging materials. Primary judging materials include, but are not limited to, documents, digital data, and images. The acquisition unit acquires primary judging materials from, for example, a judging file server. The acquisition unit can also acquire primary judging materials from cloud storage. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can acquire primary judging materials from a local device. For example, the acquisition unit accesses the judging file server and downloads the necessary primary judging materials. Acquisition from cloud storage is performed via the internet, allowing for quick and efficient acquisition of materials. Acquisition from a local device is a method of acquiring materials from a directly connected device and is available even in an offline environment. The analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze the primary judging materials acquired by the acquisition unit and evaluate the ideas. Analysis is performed by, for example, text analysis, image analysis, and data mining, but is not limited to these methods. For example, the generative AI uses a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze the primary judging materials and evaluate the originality, feasibility, and social impact of the ideas. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze multiple modals, such as images and audio, in addition to text, using a multimodal generation AI. The analysis unit can also use generation AI and data mining techniques to extract and evaluate important information from the initial review materials. For example, the text generation AI has learned from a large amount of text data and possesses advanced natural language processing capabilities. The multimodal generation AI can handle multiple modals, such as images and audio, in addition to text. Data mining techniques are used to extract useful information from large amounts of data and play a crucial role in the analysis of the initial review materials. The evaluation unit evaluates the ideas analyzed by the analysis unit. Evaluation is carried out using methods such as scoring, ranking, and feedback, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the evaluation unit scores ideas based on the analysis results of the generation AI. The evaluation unit can also rank ideas based on the analysis results.The evaluation department can also provide feedback based on the analysis results. For example, the evaluation department evaluates the originality, feasibility, and social impact of ideas based on the analysis results of the generating AI, and assigns a score. Ranking is a method of ranking ideas based on the score, with superior ideas ranking higher. Feedback specifically indicates areas for improvement and strengths of the ideas based on the evaluation results, providing useful information to the submitter. The discovery department unearths and re-evaluates past contest entries. Discovery is carried out by methods such as database searches and reviews of past records, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the discovery department re-evaluates ideas that did not advance to the final round in past contests and discovers superior ideas. The discovery department can also search for past contest entries in a database and re-evaluate them. The discovery department can also review past records and re-evaluate them. For example, the discovery department re-evaluates excellent ideas that were overlooked in past contests and finds new value. Database searches are a method of searching for specific information from a large amount of data, and can efficiently unearth past entries. Reviewing past records is a method of re-examining and re-evaluating past judging results and evaluation comments, and is effective in uncovering overlooked ideas. As a result, the contest judging system according to this embodiment can efficiently acquire, analyze, evaluate, and discover initial judging materials.
[0030] The acquisition unit acquires primary review materials. Primary review materials include, but are not limited to, documents, digital data, and images. The acquisition unit can acquire primary review materials from, for example, a review file server. It can also acquire primary review materials from cloud storage. Furthermore, it can acquire primary review materials from a local device. For example, the acquisition unit accesses the review file server and downloads the necessary primary review materials.

Acquisition from a local device is a method of acquiring materials from a directly connected device and is available even in offline environments. By combining these diverse acquisition methods, the acquisition unit has the flexibility to handle any situation. For example, acquisition from a review file server utilizes an internal network, making it highly secure and suitable for acquiring confidential materials. Acquisition from cloud storage utilizes an external data center, allowing for the rapid acquisition of large amounts of data. Acquisition from a local device acquires data directly from a physically connected device, ensuring reliable acquisition of materials even in environments with unstable internet connections. Furthermore, the acquisition unit has a function to automatically classify and organize the acquired primary review materials. For example, the acquisition unit classifies documents by category, organizes digital data by format, and manages images by tagging them. This allows for efficient management of acquired materials and easy access for the analysis and evaluation units. The acquisition unit also has a function to automatically extract metadata from acquired materials and register it in a database. The metadata includes the creation date and time of the material, the creator, file size, and format, and materials can be searched based on this information. In this way, the acquisition unit contributes not only to the acquisition of primary review materials but also to the efficiency of management and searching.
[0031] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze the initial review materials acquired by the acquisition unit and evaluate the ideas. Analysis is performed using methods such as text analysis, image analysis, and data mining, but is not limited to these examples.

Multimodal generation AI can handle multiple modals, including images and audio, in addition to text. Data mining techniques are used to extract useful information from large amounts of data and play a crucial role in the analysis of initial review materials. By combining these techniques, the analysis unit conducts a multifaceted analysis of the initial review materials and evaluates the ideas. For example, the text generation AI analyzes the text data of the initial screening materials to evaluate the originality and feasibility of the ideas. Specifically, the text generation AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the content of the text data and evaluate its similarity to other ideas. In addition, the multimodal generation AI analyzes not only text data but also image and audio data to perform a multifaceted evaluation of the ideas. For example, it uses image analysis technology to evaluate the visual elements of the ideas and audio analysis technology to evaluate the quality of the idea's presentation. Furthermore, it uses data mining technology to extract important information from the initial screening materials and use it to evaluate the ideas. For example, it uses data mining technology to extract specific keywords and patterns from the initial screening materials to evaluate the originality and feasibility of the ideas. As a result, the analysis unit can perform a multifaceted analysis of the initial screening materials and evaluate the ideas.
[0032] The evaluation department evaluates the ideas analyzed by the analysis department. Evaluation is carried out using methods such as scoring, ranking, and feedback, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the evaluation department may score ideas based on the analysis results of the generative AI. The evaluation department can also rank ideas based on the analysis results. Furthermore, the evaluation department can provide feedback based on the analysis results. For example, the evaluation department may evaluate and score ideas based on their originality, feasibility, and social impact, using the analysis results of the generative AI. Ranking is a method of assigning ranks to ideas based on their scores, with superior ideas ranking higher. Feedback, based on the evaluation results, specifically identifies areas for improvement and strengths of the ideas, providing useful information to the submitter. The evaluation department combines these evaluation methods to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the ideas. For example, scoring is a method of assigning points to each element of an idea (originality, feasibility, social impact, etc.), and by quantifying the evaluation of each element, a comprehensive evaluation of the idea is conducted. Ranking is a method of assigning ranks to ideas based on scoring results, improving the efficiency of the review process by ranking superior ideas higher. Feedback provides useful information to submitters by specifically indicating areas for improvement and strengths of ideas based on evaluation results. For example, feedback may include suggestions for enhancing the originality of the idea or advice for improving its feasibility. This allows the evaluation department to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the ideas and provide useful feedback to submitters. Furthermore, the evaluation department provides feedback that specifically indicates areas for improvement and strengths of ideas based on evaluation results.

It is also possible to analyze multiple modals, such as images and audio, in addition to text, using a multimodal generation AI. It is also possible to extract important information from the initial review materials using advanced data mining techniques and perform evaluations. Step 3: The evaluation unit evaluates the ideas analyzed by the analysis unit. The evaluation is carried out using methods such as scoring, ranking, and feedback. For example, ideas are scored based on the analysis results of the generation AI, ideas are ranked based on the analysis results, and feedback is provided based on the analysis results. This evaluates the originality, feasibility, and social impact of the ideas, assigns scores, ranks them, and specifically identifies areas for improvement and strengths. Step 4: The Discovery Department unearths and re-evaluates past contest entries. Discovery is carried out using methods such as database searches and reviews of past records. For example, ideas that did not advance to the final round in past contests are re-evaluated to uncover excellent ideas. This involves searching the database, re-evaluating, reviewing past records, and re-evaluating. This allows for the re-evaluation of excellent ideas that were overlooked in past contests, and the discovery of new value.

[0165] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the acquisition unit, analysis unit, evaluation unit, and discovery 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 acquires primary review materials from a review file server or cloud storage. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the primary review materials using generated AI. The evaluation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and evaluates ideas based on the analysis results. The discovery unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and discovers and re-evaluates past contest entries. 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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."
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.

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.
