[0028] (Example of form 1) The system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that receives applicants' applications at a central counter, an AI agent automatically distributes them to each university, collects acceptance / rejection results in real time, and allows each university to adjust the number of accepted students. This system receives applicants' applications at a central counter, an AI agent automatically distributes the received applications to each university, collects acceptance / rejection results from each university in real time, and allows each university to adjust the number of accepted students. The AI agent analyzes the applicants' preference rankings and intentions to enroll through communication and proposes the optimal number of accepted students. First, applicants' applications are received at a central counter. At this time, applicants can submit applications to multiple universities at once. For example, if an applicant submits applications to University A, University B, and University C, they can be received at the central counter all at once. Next, the AI agent automatically distributes the received applications to each university. The AI agent analyzes the applicants' application information and distributes it to each university in the appropriate format. For example, it can distribute it to University A in PDF format and to University B in Excel format. Furthermore, the AI agent collects acceptance / rejection results from each university in real time. The AI agent automatically collects and centrally manages acceptance / rejection results from each university. This allows applicants to check acceptance / rejection results from multiple universities at once. The AI agent analyzes applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions through communication. For example, if an applicant is accepted to their first-choice university, they can indicate their intention not to enroll in their second-choice or lower-choice universities. This allows each university to adjust the number of accepted students. Finally, the AI agent proposes the optimal number of accepted students. The AI agent analyzes applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions and proposes the optimal number of accepted students for each university. This reduces the risk of exceeding enrollment quotas and cuts to subsidies for each university. As a result, the system can efficiently receive, distribute, collect, analyze, and propose applicant applications.
[0029] The system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a distribution unit, a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The reception unit receives applicants' applications at a temporary counter. Applicants' applications include, but are not limited to, handwritten applications and digital applications. The reception unit digitizes and accepts handwritten applications using scanning technology. The reception unit can also directly accept applications submitted in digital format. Furthermore, the reception unit can read printed applications using OCR technology. For example, the reception unit scans handwritten applications with a high-resolution scanner and converts them into text information using OCR technology. Digital applications can be directly accepted if submitted in a specific file format. OCR technology recognizes printed characters with high accuracy and converts them into digital text. The distribution unit uses AI to automatically distribute the applications received by the reception unit to each university. Distribution is carried out by, but is not limited to, email, distribution through a dedicated system, etc. For example, the distribution department analyzes applicants' application information and distributes it to each university in the appropriate format. For instance, it can distribute it to University A in PDF format and to University B in Excel format. The distribution department can also adjust the level of detail in the distribution based on the importance of each university. For example, it can distribute application forms with detailed information to highly important universities and application forms with concise information to less important universities. The collection department uses AI to collect acceptance / rejection results from each university in real time based on the application forms distributed by the distribution department. Collection is carried out by methods such as data collection using APIs or periodic polling, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the collection department automatically collects and centrally manages acceptance / rejection results from each university. This allows applicants to check acceptance / rejection results from multiple universities at once. The collection department can also improve the accuracy of collection by considering the interrelationships between universities. For example, it can analyze the interrelationships between universities and collect acceptance / rejection results from related universities simultaneously. The analysis department uses AI to analyze preference rankings and enrollment intentions based on the acceptance / rejection results collected by the collection department. Analysis may be performed using methods such as survey results or historical data analysis, but is not limited to these examples.For example, the analysis department analyzes applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions through communication with them. For instance, if an applicant is accepted to their first-choice university, they may indicate that they do not intend to attend their second-choice or lower-ranked universities. The analysis department can also predict current trends by referring to past data when analyzing preference rankings and enrollment intentions. For example, it can analyze past preference ranking data to predict current trends. The proposal department uses AI to propose the optimal number of accepted students based on the preference rankings and enrollment intentions analyzed by the analysis department. Proposals are based on, but are not limited to, university capacity and past acceptance data. For example, the proposal department analyzes applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions and proposes the optimal number of accepted students for each university. This allows universities to mitigate the risks of exceeding their enrollment capacity or having subsidy cuts. The proposal department can also improve the accuracy of its proposals by considering the interrelationships between universities. For example, it can analyze the interrelationships between universities and simultaneously propose the number of accepted students for related universities. This enables the system according to the embodiment to efficiently receive, distribute, collect, analyze, and propose information based on applicants' applications.
[0030] The reception desk accepts applicants' applications at a temporary counter. These applications may include, but are not limited to, handwritten or digital forms. The reception desk may, for example, digitize handwritten applications using scanning technology and accept them. It can also directly accept digitally submitted applications. Furthermore, the reception desk can read printed applications using OCR technology. For example, the reception desk may scan handwritten applications with a high-resolution scanner and convert them into text information using OCR technology. Digital applications can be directly accepted if submitted in a specific file format. OCR technology accurately recognizes printed characters and converts them into digital text. The reception desk uses a combination of the latest scanning and OCR technologies to efficiently process the diverse formats of applications submitted by applicants. Handwritten applications are captured as high-resolution images using a scanner and then converted into text information using OCR technology. This process allows for the accurate conversion of both handwritten and printed characters into digital data. Digital applications are often submitted in common file formats such as PDF, Word, and Excel, and the application department directly receives these files and stores them in its database. Furthermore, the application department can provide a web portal that allows applicants to submit their applications online. This web portal allows applicants to enter their information and upload necessary documents. The application department receives and processes this data in real time. This allows applicants to easily submit their applications from home, and the application department can manage the data efficiently. Additionally, the application department has a function to review the submitted applications and notify applicants if there are any deficiencies. For example, if necessary documents are missing or there are errors in the information provided, the application department can automatically notify the applicant and prompt them to make corrections. This improves the efficiency of the application department's work, as applicants can review and correct their submitted applications.
[0031] The distribution department uses AI to automatically distribute application forms received by the reception department to each university. Distribution is carried out by methods such as email or through a dedicated system, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the distribution department analyzes the applicant's application information and distributes it to each university in the appropriate format. For example, it can distribute it to University A in PDF format and to University B in Excel format. The distribution department can also adjust the level of detail in the distribution based on the importance of each university. For example, it can distribute application forms with detailed information to high-priority universities and application forms with concise information to low-priority universities. Because the distribution department uses AI to distribute applicants' applications to each university in the most optimal format, it can be customized to meet the requirements of each university. For example, one university may prefer PDF application forms, while another may prefer Excel data. The distribution department understands these requirements in advance and converts applicants' applications to the appropriate format before distribution. Furthermore, the distribution department can consider the importance of each university and adjust the level of detail in the distribution. For example, the distribution department will send application forms containing detailed information about applicants to universities of high importance, and to universities of lower importance, it will send concise application forms containing only basic information. In this way, the distribution department will achieve flexible distribution tailored to the needs of each university. It is also important for the distribution department to take security measures during distribution. For example, encryption technology will be used to protect data so that the contents of application forms are not leaked to third parties. Furthermore, the distribution department will record the distribution history so that it can be reviewed later. This will enable a quick response even if problems occur during distribution. The distribution department will use AI to efficiently distribute applicants' application forms and achieve flexible responses tailored to the needs of each university.
[0032] The data collection unit uses AI to collect admission results from each university in real time based on applications distributed by the distribution unit. Data collection is carried out using methods such as API-based data collection and periodic polling, but is not limited to these examples. For instance, the data collection unit automatically collects and centrally manages admission results from each university. This allows applicants to check admission results from multiple universities simultaneously. The data collection unit can also improve the accuracy of data collection by considering the interrelationships between universities. For example, it can analyze interrelationships between universities and collect admission results from related universities simultaneously. The data collection unit plays a crucial role in efficiently collecting admission results from each university using AI and providing them quickly to applicants. Specifically, the data collection unit integrates with each university's system and automatically retrieves admission results via API. Using APIs, the data collection unit can obtain data in real time and provide applicants with the latest information. Periodic polling also allows for timely updates when admission results are updated. The data collection unit centrally manages the collected admission results, enabling applicants to check admission results from multiple universities simultaneously. This eliminates the need for applicants to individually check the admission results of each university. Furthermore, the data collection unit can improve the accuracy of its collection by considering the interrelationships between universities. For example, if a group of universities announce their admission results at the same time, the unit can collect these results simultaneously and provide them to applicants all at once. In addition, the unit can analyze the collected data to understand trends and patterns in admission results. This allows for the provision of more detailed information to applicants, which can be used as a reference when making career choices. By utilizing AI to efficiently and accurately collect admission results and provide them quickly to applicants, the unit improves convenience for them.
[0033] The analysis department uses AI to analyze preference rankings and enrollment intentions based on the pass / fail results collected by the data collection department. Analysis is performed using methods such as survey results and historical data analysis, but is not limited to these examples. For instance, the analysis department analyzes preference rankings and enrollment intentions through communication with applicants. For example, if an applicant is accepted into their first-choice university, they may indicate that they do not intend to attend their second-choice or lower-ranked universities. Furthermore, the analysis department can predict current trends by referencing past data when analyzing preference rankings and enrollment intentions. For example, it may analyze past preference ranking data to predict current trends. The analysis department plays a crucial role in understanding applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions by meticulously analyzing the pass / fail results collected using AI. Specifically, the analysis department analyzes applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions based on survey results and historical data submitted by applicants. For example, if an applicant is accepted into their first-choice university, they often indicate that they do not intend to attend their second-choice or lower-ranked universities. Based on this information, the analysis department can accurately grasp applicants' preferred rankings and predict their intention to enroll. Furthermore, the analysis department can predict current trends by referring to past data. For example, by analyzing past preferred ranking data and predicting current trends among applicants, it can grasp future preference trends. The analysis department can efficiently analyze the collected data using AI and accurately grasp applicants' preferred rankings and intentions to enroll, enabling it to provide appropriate advice to applicants. In addition, the analysis department can gain a more detailed understanding of preferred rankings and intentions to enroll through communication with applicants. For example, it can conduct surveys with applicants to collect information on preferred rankings and intentions to enroll. Based on this information, the analysis department can analyze applicants' preference trends in detail and provide appropriate advice to applicants. The analysis department can efficiently analyze the collected data using AI and accurately grasp applicants' preferred rankings and intentions to enroll, enabling it to provide appropriate advice to applicants.
[0034] The proposal department uses AI to suggest the optimal number of admitted students based on the preference rankings and enrollment intentions analyzed by the analysis department. The suggestions are based on, but are not limited to, university enrollment capacity and past admission data. For example, the proposal department analyzes applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions and suggests the optimal number of admitted students for each university. This allows universities to mitigate the risks of exceeding enrollment limits and subsidy cuts. Furthermore, the proposal department can improve the accuracy of its suggestions by considering the interrelationships between universities. For example, it can analyze the interrelationships between universities and simultaneously suggest the number of admitted students for related universities. The proposal department plays a crucial role in suggesting the optimal number of admitted students for each university based on data analyzed by the analysis department using AI. Specifically, the proposal department suggests the optimal number of admitted students based on university enrollment capacity and past admission data, taking into account applicants' preference rankings and enrollment intentions. This allows universities to mitigate the risks of exceeding enrollment limits and subsidy cuts. Furthermore, the proposal department can improve the accuracy of its suggestions by considering the interrelationships between universities. For example, if a group of universities announce their number of successful applicants at the same time, the proposal department can simultaneously propose the optimal number of successful applicants for these universities, taking into account the trends in applicants' preferences. It is also important for the proposal department to consider the characteristics of each university and past data when making proposals. For example, if a particular university has strengths in a specific field, the proposal department will propose the number of successful applicants considering the number of applicants who aspire to study that field. This allows each university to secure a number of successful applicants that leverages its strengths. By using AI and based on data analyzed by the analysis department, the proposal department can propose the optimal number of successful applicants for each university, thereby mitigating the risks of quota management and subsidy cuts for each university, and providing applicants with an appropriate number of successful applicants.
[0035] The notification unit can provide notifications regarding pass / fail results and the next steps. The notification unit can provide notifications by methods such as email, SMS, and app notifications. For example, the notification unit can notify examinees of their pass / fail results via email. The notification unit can also notify examinees of information regarding the next steps via SMS. For example, the notification unit can provide examinees with detailed information regarding the next steps via app notifications. This allows for the rapid provision of information to examinees by providing notifications regarding pass / fail results and the next steps. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the notification unit can input pass / fail results into an AI model and use an AI model to generate notification content to provide notifications.
[0036] The reception department can analyze an applicant's past application submission history and select the most suitable application method.

[0125] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.
[0126] As shown in Figure 3, the data processing system 210 includes a data processing device 12 and smart glasses 214. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0127] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0128] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0129] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0130] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0131] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0134] 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.

Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0137] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214.

The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0138] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data).

The data generation model 58 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, distribution unit, collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and notification 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 control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives applicants' applications at a temporary counter.

The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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."
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
