Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) An autonomous AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides travelers from overseas with real-time, situation-appropriate notices and guidance in multiple languages ​​in comic book format. This system is designed to solve the communication problems caused by differences in pronunciation and language. The autonomous AI agent system allows users to input notices and guidance, and in real time, it converts situation-appropriate information into multiple languages ​​in comic book format and provides it to travelers. For example, users can input information such as airport check-in procedures or guidance at tourist destinations. This information is input into the autonomous AI agent. Next, the autonomous AI agent analyzes the input information and converts situation-appropriate notices and guidance into multiple languages ​​in comic book format. For example, guidance on airport check-in procedures is converted into comic book format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Chinese, and Korean. This comic is displayed on the user's smartphone or tablet. Furthermore, a cross-cultural understanding agent suggests the most appropriate expression for each country and region. For example, the gesture of making a circle with the thumb and index finger, which means "OK" in Japan, may mean "worthless, zero" in France. By considering such cross-cultural differences and suggesting the most appropriate expression, misunderstandings can be prevented. This system reduces communication losses in inbound tourism, improves visitor satisfaction, and alleviates the burden on receiving organizations. Furthermore, manga is a source of Japanese culture and an excellent manual format that combines visuals and text, ensuring smooth and effective information transmission. For example, providing information in manga format at tourist destinations and public facilities makes it more approachable and easier to understand. This allows the autonomous AI agent system to provide travelers with rapid and accurate information, facilitating understanding across language barriers.

[0029] The autonomous AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, and a display unit. The reception unit receives input for notes and guidance. These notes and guidance include, but are not limited to, safety precautions, user instructions, and emergency instructions. For example, the reception unit can receive input from a user regarding airport check-in procedures or guidance at a tourist destination. The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and converts the appropriate notes and guidance into a comic book format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the input information and convert it into a comic book format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. For example, the generation unit can convert airport check-in procedure guidance into a comic book format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Chinese, and Korean. The generation unit can also use a generation AI to extract important parts of text and generate a comic book based on them. The display unit displays the comic book generated by the generation unit. For example, the display unit can display the generated comic book on the user's smartphone or tablet. The display unit can also display the generated comic book in real time. The display unit can, for example, display the generated comics in real time on the user's smartphone or tablet. This allows the autonomous AI agent system according to the embodiment to convert warnings and instructions into comic format in multiple languages ​​and display them, thereby facilitating understanding across language barriers.

[0030] The reception unit inputs notes and instructions. These notes and instructions include, but are not limited to, safety precautions, user guides, and emergency instructions. For example, users can input information such as airport check-in procedures or tourist information. Specifically, the reception unit receives text data entered by users and handles the initial stages of processing it within the system. Users can provide information via touch panels or voice input, allowing the reception unit to support diverse input methods. For example, when inputting instructions regarding airport check-in procedures, users input flight information and boarding procedure details, which the reception unit receives accurately. When inputting instructions for tourist destinations, users input descriptions and notes about the tourist spots, which the reception unit sends to the generation unit for analysis. The reception unit appropriately classifies the input information and filters it as needed, enabling the generation unit to process the information efficiently. The reception unit also has a feedback function to verify the accuracy of the information entered by users, prompting users to check and correct their input. This allows the reception unit to collect information from users accurately and quickly, improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0031] The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and converts situation-appropriate notes and instructions into a comic format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the entered information and convert it into a comic format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. Specifically, the generation unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the entered text data and extract important information. The generation AI identifies keywords and important phrases from the entered text and uses them to construct the comic's storyline. Furthermore, the generation AI uses translation models corresponding to each language to translate the extracted information into multiple languages. For example, when converting instructions for airport check-in procedures into a comic format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Chinese, and Korean, the generation AI first analyzes the details of the entered procedure, translates it into each language, and then arranges it as comic panels and character dialogue. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to extract important parts of a text and generate a comic based on that. For example, if instructions regarding emergency procedures are entered, the generation AI extracts the necessary actions and precautions in an emergency and expresses them in a visually easy-to-understand comic format. The generation unit provides a preview of the generated comic to ensure it is easy for the user to understand, and allows for modifications as needed. This enables the generation unit to convert user-inputted information into an easy-to-understand comic format in multiple languages, thereby communicating information across language barriers.

[0032] The display unit displays the manga generated by the generation unit. For example, the display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone or tablet. Specifically, the display unit receives the generated manga data and displays it in a format suitable for the user's device. The display unit can also display the generated manga in real time. For example, if instructions for airport check-in procedures are generated, the display unit can immediately display the manga on the user's smartphone, allowing the user to visually confirm the procedure flow. The display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone or tablet in real time. This allows the user to quickly obtain the necessary information and take appropriate action. Furthermore, the display unit employs responsive design to provide the optimal display method according to the user's device. This optimizes the display on different devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs, allowing users to comfortably view information on any device. The display unit also has a function that automatically displays the manga in the appropriate language according to the user's language settings, saving the user the trouble of changing language settings. This allows the display unit to quickly and appropriately display the generated manga, making it easy for users to obtain the necessary information.

[0033] The generation unit includes a suggestion unit that proposes appropriate expressions tailored to each country and region. The suggestion unit can, for example, use generation AI to propose the most suitable expressions for each country and region. For example, the suggestion unit can propose an appropriate expression considering that the gesture of making a circle with the thumb and index finger, which means "OK" in Japan, means "worthless, zero" in France. For example, the suggestion unit can propose an expression considering that a "thumbs up" has a positive meaning in the United States, but may have a different meaning in other countries. For example, the suggestion unit can consider cultural background when selecting colors, considering that red symbolizes good luck in China, but may have a different meaning in other countries. By proposing the most suitable expressions for each country and region, misunderstandings can be prevented.

[0034] The display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone or tablet. For example, the display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone. For example, the display unit can display the generated manga on the user's tablet. The display unit can display the generated manga on various devices, such as iOS devices and Android devices. This allows users to easily access the information by displaying the generated manga on their smartphones or tablets.

[0035] The proposal unit can suggest appropriate expressions using a cross-cultural understanding agent. For example, the proposal unit can suggest the optimal expression considering cultural background using a cross-cultural understanding agent. The cross-cultural understanding agent can, for example, refer to a database of cultural backgrounds to suggest appropriate expressions. The cross-cultural understanding agent can, for example, use a language translation function to suggest appropriate expressions. Therefore, by using a cross-cultural understanding agent, the optimal expression considering cultural background can be suggested.

[0036] The generation unit can convert airport check-in procedures or tourist information into a comic book format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit can convert airport check-in procedure instructions into a comic book format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit can convert tourist information into a comic book format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit can convert directions to check-in counters into a comic book format. For example, the generation unit can convert introductions to tourist attractions into a comic book format in multiple languages. By converting airport check-in procedures and tourist information into a comic book format in multiple languages, it makes the information easier for travelers to understand.

[0037] The display unit can display the generated manga in real time. For example, the display unit can display the generated manga in real time. For example, the display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone or tablet in real time. For example, the display unit can update the generated manga in real time and display the latest information. This allows users to instantly check the latest information by displaying the generated manga in real time.

[0038] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting input methods that the user has frequently used in the past (such as voice or text). For example, the reception desk can predict and suggest input methods that the user will use during specific time periods based on their past input history. For example, the reception desk can customize input methods by referring to content that the user has entered in the past. In this way, by analyzing the user's past input history, the optimal input method can be suggested.

[0039] The reception system can filter the input of notices and information based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is at an airport, the reception system can prioritize displaying airport-related notices and information. For example, if the user is at a tourist destination, the reception system can prioritize displaying information related to that tourist destination. The reception system can also filter and display relevant notices and information based on the user's areas of interest. This allows the system to provide highly relevant information by filtering information based on the user's current situation and areas of interest.

[0040] The reception system can prioritize inputting highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location when entering notices and instructions. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception system can prioritize displaying notices and instructions relevant to that region. For example, if the user is on the move, the reception system can prioritize displaying relevant information based on their current location. For example, if the user is in a specific facility, the reception system can prioritize displaying information related to that facility. In this way, highly relevant information can be provided by considering the user's geographical location.

[0041] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity and input relevant information when entering notices and instructions. For example, the reception desk can display relevant notices and instructions based on information the user has shared on social media. For example, the reception desk can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and display information based on their areas of interest. For example, the reception desk can display relevant notices and instructions based on information about accounts the user follows. In this way, relevant information can be provided by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0042] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail in the comic based on the importance of the warnings and instructions. For example, in the case of important warnings, the generation unit can generate a comic with a detailed explanation. For example, in the case of general instructions, the generation unit can generate a comic with a concise explanation. For example, in the case of emergency instructions, the generation unit can generate a comic that focuses on the key points so that they can be quickly understood. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail in the comic based on the importance of the warnings and instructions, important information can be conveyed in detail.

[0043] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the category of the warnings or instructions when generating comics. For example, in the case of safety warnings, the generation unit can generate comics with visual emphasis. For example, in the case of tourist information, the generation unit can generate comics that include attractive visuals. For example, in the case of transportation information, the generation unit can generate comics that include maps and route information. In this way, by applying different generation algorithms depending on the category of warnings or instructions, more appropriate comics can be generated.

[0044] The generation unit can determine the priority of comics based on the submission timing of notices and announcements. For example, in the case of urgent notices, the generation unit can generate the comic with the highest priority. For example, in the case of regular announcements, the generation unit can generate the comic with the normal priority. For example, in the case of future notices, the generation unit can postpone the generation of the comic. This allows for the priority of providing highly urgent information by determining the priority of comics based on the submission timing of notices and announcements.

[0045] The generation unit can adjust the order of comics based on the relevance of notes and instructions during comic generation. For example, the generation unit can generate comics that prioritize the display of highly relevant notes. For example, the generation unit can generate comics that display less relevant instructions later. For example, if there are multiple notes or instructions, the generation unit can generate comics that adjust the order based on relevance. This allows for the priority provision of highly relevant information by adjusting the order of comics based on the relevance of notes and instructions.

[0046] The display unit can select the optimal display method when displaying comics by referring to the user's past operation history. For example, the display unit can prioritize providing display methods that the user has previously preferred. For example, the display unit can predict and provide display methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past operation history. For example, the display unit can customize the display method by referring to content that the user has previously displayed. In this way, the optimal display method can be provided by referring to the user's past operation history.

[0047] The display unit can select an appropriate display method when displaying comics, taking into account the user's device information.

For example, if the user is using a tablet, the display unit can provide a display method optimized for a larger screen. For example, if the user is using a smartwatch, the display unit can provide a concise and highly visible display method. In this way, the optimal display method can be provided by taking into account the user's device information.

[0048] The display unit can prioritize displaying manga that are highly relevant to the user, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the display unit can prioritize displaying manga related to that region. For example, if the user is on the move, the display unit can prioritize displaying manga related to the user's current location. For example, if the user is in a specific facility, the display unit can prioritize displaying manga related to that facility. In this way, by taking the user's geographical location into consideration, the display unit can provide highly relevant manga.

[0049] The display unit can analyze the user's social media activity when displaying manga and show relevant manga. For example, the display unit can show relevant manga based on information the user has shared on social media. For example, the display unit can analyze the content of the user's social media posts and show manga based on their areas of interest. For example, the display unit can show relevant manga based on information about accounts the user follows. In this way, relevant manga can be provided by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0050] The proposal team can select appropriate expressions when making proposals, taking into account the cultural background of each country and region. For example, the proposal team can propose an appropriate expression considering that the gesture of making a circle with the thumb and index finger, which means "OK" in Japan, means "worthless, zero" in France. For example, the proposal team can propose an expression considering that a "thumbs up" has a positive meaning in the United States, but may have a different meaning in other countries. For example, the proposal team can consider the cultural background when selecting colors, considering that red symbolizes good luck in China, but may have a different meaning in other countries. By considering the cultural background of each country and region, misunderstandings can be prevented.

[0051] The proposal unit can select appropriate expressions by referring to past proposal history when making a proposal. For example, the proposal unit can prioritize suggesting expressions that the user has preferred to use in the past. For example, the proposal unit can predict and suggest expressions suitable for a specific situation based on the user's past proposal history. For example, the proposal unit can suggest the optimal expression while avoiding expressions that the user has rejected in the past. In this way, the optimal expression can be suggested by referring to past proposal history.

[0052] The suggestion function can propose appropriate expressions while considering the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the suggestion function can prioritize suggesting expressions related to that region. For example, if the user is on the move, the suggestion function can prioritize suggesting expressions related to the user's current location. For example, if the user is in a specific facility, the suggestion function can prioritize suggesting expressions related to that facility. In this way, by considering the user's geographical location information, it is possible to provide highly relevant expressions.

[0053] The proposal department can analyze a user's social media activity and suggest relevant expressions when making a proposal.

In this way, relevant expressions can be provided by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0054] Intercultural understanding agents can select appropriate methods of understanding by considering the cultural background of each country and region. For example, an intercultural understanding agent can provide appropriate methods of understanding, taking into account that the gesture of making a circle with the thumb and index finger, which means "OK" in Japan, means "worthless, zero" in France. For example, an intercultural understanding agent can provide methods of understanding by considering that a "thumbs up" has a positive meaning in the United States, but may have a different meaning in other countries. For example, an intercultural understanding agent can consider cultural background when selecting colors, as red symbolizes good luck in China, but may have a different meaning in other countries. In this way, misunderstandings can be prevented by considering the cultural background of each country and region.

[0055] The intercultural understanding agent can select an appropriate method of understanding by referring to the user's past history of intercultural understanding. For example, the agent can prioritize providing understanding methods that the user has preferred in the past. For example, the agent can predict and provide an understanding method suitable for a specific situation based on the user's past history of intercultural understanding. For example, the agent can provide the optimal understanding method by avoiding understanding methods that the user has rejected in the past. In this way, the agent can provide the optimal understanding method by referring to the user's past history of intercultural understanding.

[0056] The intercultural understanding agent can select an appropriate understanding method when understanding different cultures, taking into account the user's geographical location.

[0065] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0066] Step 1: The reception desk enters important notes and instructions. These notes and instructions include safety precautions, usage guidelines, and emergency instructions. For example, users can enter information about airport check-in procedures or directions at tourist destinations. Step 2: The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and converts situation-appropriate notices and instructions into a comic format in multiple languages. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the entered information and convert it into a comic format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. The generation unit can also extract important parts of the text and generate a comic based on that. Step 3: The display unit displays the manga generated by the generation unit. The display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone or tablet. The display unit can also display the generated manga in real time.

[0067] (Example of form 2) An autonomous AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides travelers from overseas with real-time, situation-appropriate notices and guidance in multiple languages ​​in comic book format. This system is designed to solve the communication problems caused by differences in pronunciation and language. The autonomous AI agent system allows users to input notices and guidance, and in real time, it converts situation-appropriate information into multiple languages ​​in comic book format and provides it to travelers. For example, users can input information such as airport check-in procedures or guidance at tourist destinations. This information is input into the autonomous AI agent. Next, the autonomous AI agent analyzes the input information and converts situation-appropriate notices and guidance into multiple languages ​​in comic book format. For example, guidance on airport check-in procedures is converted into comic book format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Chinese, and Korean. This comic is displayed on the user's smartphone or tablet. Furthermore, a cross-cultural understanding agent suggests the most appropriate expression for each country and region. For example, the gesture of making a circle with the thumb and index finger, which means "OK" in Japan, may mean "worthless, zero" in France. By considering such cross-cultural differences and suggesting the most appropriate expression, misunderstandings can be prevented. This system reduces communication losses in inbound tourism, improves visitor satisfaction, and alleviates the burden on receiving organizations. Furthermore, manga is a source of Japanese culture and an excellent manual format that combines visuals and text, ensuring smooth and effective information transmission. For example, providing information in manga format at tourist destinations and public facilities makes it more approachable and easier to understand. This allows the autonomous AI agent system to provide travelers with rapid and accurate information, facilitating understanding across language barriers.

[0068] The autonomous AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, and a display unit. The reception unit receives input for notes and guidance. These notes and guidance include, but are not limited to, safety precautions, user instructions, and emergency instructions. For example, the reception unit can receive input from a user regarding airport check-in procedures or guidance at a tourist destination. The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and converts the appropriate notes and guidance into a comic book format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the input information and convert it into a comic book format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. For example, the generation unit can convert airport check-in procedure guidance into a comic book format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Chinese, and Korean. The generation unit can also use a generation AI to extract important parts of text and generate a comic book based on them. The display unit displays the comic book generated by the generation unit. For example, the display unit can display the generated comic book on the user's smartphone or tablet. The display unit can also display the generated comic book in real time. The display unit can, for example, display the generated comics in real time on the user's smartphone or tablet. This allows the autonomous AI agent system according to the embodiment to convert warnings and instructions into comic format in multiple languages ​​and display them, thereby facilitating understanding across language barriers.

[0069] The reception unit inputs notes and instructions. These notes and instructions include, but are not limited to, safety precautions, user guides, and emergency instructions. For example, users can input information such as airport check-in procedures or tourist information. Specifically, the reception unit receives text data entered by users and handles the initial stages of processing it within the system. Users can provide information via touch panels or voice input, allowing the reception unit to support diverse input methods. For example, when inputting instructions regarding airport check-in procedures, users input flight information and boarding procedure details, which the reception unit receives accurately. When inputting instructions for tourist destinations, users input descriptions and notes about the tourist spots, which the reception unit sends to the generation unit for analysis. The reception unit appropriately classifies the input information and filters it as needed, enabling the generation unit to process the information efficiently. The reception unit also has a feedback function to verify the accuracy of the information entered by users, prompting users to check and correct their input. This allows the reception unit to collect information from users accurately and quickly, improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0070] The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and converts situation-appropriate notes and instructions into a comic format in multiple languages. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the entered information and convert it into a comic format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. Specifically, the generation unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the entered text data and extract important information. The generation AI identifies keywords and important phrases from the entered text and uses them to construct the comic's storyline. Furthermore, the generation AI uses translation models corresponding to each language to translate the extracted information into multiple languages. For example, when converting instructions for airport check-in procedures into a comic format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Chinese, and Korean, the generation AI first analyzes the details of the entered procedure, translates it into each language, and then arranges it as comic panels and character dialogue. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to extract important parts of a text and generate a comic based on that. For example, if instructions regarding emergency procedures are entered, the generation AI extracts the necessary actions and precautions in an emergency and expresses them in a visually easy-to-understand comic format. The generation unit provides a preview of the generated comic to ensure it is easy for the user to understand, and allows for modifications as needed. This enables the generation unit to convert user-inputted information into an easy-to-understand comic format in multiple languages, thereby communicating information across language barriers.

If the user is relaxed, detailed guidance can be provided to promote a deeper understanding. If the user is in a hurry, concise information can be provided for quick comprehension. By adjusting the content of information according to the user's emotions, more effective information delivery becomes possible.

[0114] The generation unit can prioritize displaying relevant information when generating manga, taking into account the user's areas of interest. For example, if the user is interested in history, information about the historical background of tourist destinations can be prioritized. If the user is interested in food, information about local specialty dishes can be prioritized. Also, if the user is interested in shopping, information about shopping spots can be prioritized. In this way, by considering the user's areas of interest, more engaging information can be provided.

[0115] The display unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display speed of the comic strip based on those emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the display speed can be slowed down so that they can slowly review the information. If the user is relaxed, the display speed can be set to normal so that they can review the information smoothly. If the user is in a hurry, the display speed can be increased so that they can review the information quickly. By adjusting the display speed according to the user's emotions, it becomes possible to provide more appropriate information.

[0116] The proposal department can analyze users' social media activity and suggest relevant expressions. For example, it can suggest relevant expressions based on information users share on social media. It can analyze the content of users' social media posts and suggest expressions based on their areas of interest. It can also suggest relevant expressions based on information about accounts users follow. In this way, by analyzing users' social media activity, it can provide relevant expressions.

[0117] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the colors of the manga based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, it can generate a manga with soft colors. If the user is tense, it can generate a manga with simple, highly visible colors. If the user is excited, it can generate a manga using visually stimulating colors. By adjusting the colors of the manga according to the user's emotions, more appropriate expression becomes possible.

[0118] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0119] Step 1: The reception desk enters important notes and instructions. These notes and instructions include safety precautions, usage guidelines, and emergency instructions. For example, users can enter information about airport check-in procedures or directions at tourist destinations. Step 2: The generation unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and converts situation-appropriate notices and instructions into a comic format in multiple languages. The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the entered information and convert it into a comic format in multiple languages ​​such as English, Spanish, and Chinese. The generation unit can also extract important parts of the text and generate a comic based on that. Step 3: The display unit displays the manga generated by the generation unit. The display unit can display the generated manga on the user's smartphone or tablet. The display unit can also display the generated manga in real time.

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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, generation unit, display unit, and suggestion unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414, allowing the user to input information for airport check-in procedures or directions at tourist destinations. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the input information and converts situation-appropriate notices and directions into a comic book format in multiple languages. The display unit is implemented by, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414, which displays the generated comic book in real time on the user's smartphone or tablet. The suggestion unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which proposes the most appropriate expression for the country or region. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various changes are possible.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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."

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.
