[0028] (Example of form 1) The care service support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that proposes an innovative solution to the social problem of a high percentage of people giving up on using care services, by utilizing generative AI and a hybrid system. This care service support system provides integrated basic service matching by a conventional system, personalized information provision and psychological support by generative AI, and procedural support by a hybrid system. For example, the care service support system takes the user's basic information as input and proposes appropriate care services. For example, by inputting information such as the user's age, health condition, and living environment, it proposes the optimal care service. Next, the care service support system uses generative AI to make personalized suggestions according to the user's family structure and living environment. For example, if the user lives alone, it proposes nearby care services, and if the family lives far away, it proposes remote support. In addition, the care service support system generates explanations that take into account the resistance to care services, so that users can use the service with peace of mind. Furthermore, the care service support system assists the user with the procedures for using care services. For example, it provides guidance on how to prepare and submit necessary documents and manages the progress of the procedures. As a result, users can use care services smoothly without feeling the complexity of the procedures. This will enable the long-term care service support system to create a society where people who need care can reliably access services, reducing the burden on families and ensuring they receive appropriate care services. This will remove barriers to using long-term care services, allowing users to access services smoothly.

[0029] The care service support system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, a matching unit, an information provision unit, and a procedure support unit. The collection unit collects basic user information. For example, the collection unit collects basic information such as the user's name, address, age, and gender. The collection unit can also collect information such as the user's health status and living environment. For example, the collection unit collects information such as the user's medical history, current health status, type of residence, and family structure. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit can provide an interface for inputting the user's basic information, and the AI ​​can analyze and collect the input information. The matching unit performs service matching based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the matching unit proposes the optimal care service using a matching algorithm based on the user's needs. For example, the matching unit proposes an appropriate care service based on the user's health status and living environment. Some or all of the above-described processing in the matching unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the matching unit can perform service matching using an AI model that proposes the most suitable care service, taking the information collected by the collection unit as input. The information provision unit provides personalized information based on the services proposed by the matching unit. For example, the information provision unit makes personalized suggestions according to the user's family structure and living environment. For example, if the user lives alone, the information provision unit will suggest nearby care services, and if the family lives far away, it will suggest remote support. The information provision unit also generates explanations that take into account any resistance to care services, so that users can use the services with peace of mind. Some or all of the above processing in the information provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the information provision unit can provide information using an AI model that generates personalized suggestions based on the user's family structure and living environment. The procedure support unit provides procedure support based on the information provided by the information provision unit.The procedural support department handles tasks such as preparing and submitting necessary documents, and managing the progress of procedures. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the procedural support department may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the procedural support department can provide procedural support using an AI model that assists users in the procedures for using long-term care services. As a result, the long-term care service support system according to the embodiment can remove barriers to using long-term care services by collecting basic user information, performing service matching, providing personalized information, and providing procedural support.

[0030] The data collection unit collects basic user information. For example, it collects basic information such as the user's name, address, age, and gender. Specifically, when the user accesses the system, the data collection unit prompts them to input this information through a dedicated interface. The interface is designed with ease of use in mind, making it easy for the elderly and their families to operate. For example, it supports voice input and touch panel operation, accommodating users with visual or hearing impairments. The data collection unit can also collect information such as the user's health status and living environment. For example, it collects information such as the user's medical history, current health status, type of residence, and family structure. This information can be collected not only through user input but also in conjunction with data provided by medical institutions and care facilities. For example, with the user's consent, data can be acquired from electronic medical record systems and health management apps and integrated into the data collection unit. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the data collection unit can provide an interface for inputting the user's basic information, and AI can analyze and collect the inputted information. The AI ​​checks the accuracy of the input information and automatically generates questions to supplement any missing information. The AI ​​also analyzes user input and identifies patterns related to health status and living environment, providing guidelines for collecting more detailed information. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently and accurately collect basic user information, health status, and living environment information. Furthermore, the data collection unit securely manages the collected information and implements measures to protect privacy. For example, collected data is encrypted and can only be viewed by those with access rights. The data retention period and purpose of use are also clearly defined and managed appropriately with the user's consent. This allows the data collection unit to gain user trust and reliably collect necessary information.

[0031] The matching unit performs service matching based on the information collected by the collection unit. The matching unit proposes the most suitable care services using, for example, a matching algorithm based on the user's needs. Specifically, the matching unit proposes appropriate care services based on the user's health condition and living environment. For example, if the user has a specific medical history, it proposes specialized care services that correspond to that medical history. Also, if the user lives alone, it proposes services that allow for regular home visits and emergency response. Some or all of the above processing in the matching unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the matching unit can perform service matching using an AI model that takes the information collected by the collection unit as input and proposes the most suitable care services. The AI ​​model learns an algorithm to identify the service best suited to the user's needs based on past data and statistical information. For example, the AI ​​analyzes data on the user's health condition and living environment and proposes the most suitable service by comparing it with data from other users with similar needs. The AI ​​can also collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of its suggestions. As a result, the matching unit can quickly and accurately propose the most suitable care services that meet the user's needs. Furthermore, the matching system can flexibly respond to changes in user needs. For example, if a user's health deteriorates, the AI ​​will re-match them based on new data and propose appropriate services. Similarly, if a user's living environment changes, the AI ​​will reflect these changes and re-propose services. This allows the matching system to provide optimal care services tailored to the user's needs, thereby improving the user's quality of life.

[0032] The Information Provision Department provides personalized information based on the services proposed by the Matching Department. Specifically, the Information Provision Department makes personalized suggestions tailored to the user's family structure and living environment. For example, if the user lives alone, the Information Provision Department will suggest nearby care services, and if family members live far away, it will suggest remote support. The Information Provision Department proposes services that match the user's lifestyle and preferences, ensuring that users can use the services with peace of mind. The Information Provision Department also generates explanations that take into account any resistance to care services, ensuring that users can use the services with confidence. For example, if a user is using a care service for the first time, the Information Provision Department will provide a detailed explanation of the service's content and how to use it. Furthermore, if a user feels anxious about a particular service, the Information Provision Department will provide information to alleviate that anxiety. Some or all of the above processing in the Information Provision Department may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the Information Provision Department can provide information using an AI model that generates personalized suggestions based on the user's family structure and living environment. The AI ​​model analyzes user data and learns algorithms to generate optimal information. For example, AI analyzes data on a user's family structure and living environment, and compares it with data from other users with similar needs to generate optimal information. Furthermore, AI can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of the information it provides. This allows the information provider to quickly and accurately deliver the most relevant information to the user's needs. Moreover, the information provider can flexibly respond to changes in user needs. For instance, if a user's health changes, the AI ​​regenerates information based on the new data and makes appropriate suggestions. Similarly, if a user's living environment changes, the AI ​​regenerates information to reflect those changes. This enables the information provider to deliver optimal information tailored to the user's needs and improve their quality of life.

[0033] The Procedure Support Department provides procedural support based on information provided by the Information Provision Department. Specifically, the Procedure Support Department handles tasks such as preparing necessary documents, providing guidance on submission methods, and managing the progress of procedures. For example, the Procedure Support Department automatically generates and provides to users the documents necessary for them to use care services. The Procedure Support Department also provides detailed guidance on how to submit documents, supporting users so that they can proceed with the procedures smoothly. Some or all of the above-mentioned processes in the Procedure Support Department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the Procedure Support Department can provide procedural support using an AI model that assists users in the procedures for using care services. The AI ​​model analyzes user data and learns algorithms for managing necessary documents and the progress of procedures. For example, the AI ​​automatically generates necessary documents based on user data and provides detailed guidance on submission deadlines and methods. The AI ​​can also monitor the progress of procedures in real time and send reminders to users at appropriate times. This allows the Procedure Support Department to support users so that they can proceed with the procedures smoothly and prevent delays and errors. Furthermore, the procedural support department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its procedural support. For example, based on user feedback, it can review the content of procedural guidance and the method of generating documents, improving the system to make it more user-friendly. In addition, the procedural support department can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can reliably deliver important information by using a combination of email, SMS, and voice calls. As a result, the procedural support department can provide users with prompt and reliable procedural support, removing barriers to accessing care services.

[0034] The data collection unit can collect information such as the user's age, health status, and living environment.

[0132] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0133] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0134] 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.

[0135] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0136] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.

[0137] 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).

[0138] 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.

[0139] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0140] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0141] 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.

[0142] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0143] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0145] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0146] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0147] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, matching unit, information provision unit, and procedure support unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and provides an interface for inputting the user's basic information. The matching unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and performs service matching based on the information collected by the data collection unit. The information provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and provides personalized suggestions according to the user's family structure and living environment. The procedure support unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and handles tasks such as preparing and submitting necessary documents and managing the progress of procedures. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0149] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0150] 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.

[0151] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0152] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.

[0153] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0154] 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.

[0155] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0156] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0157] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0158] 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.

[0159] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0160] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0161] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0162] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0163] 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.

[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, matching unit, information provision unit, and procedure support unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides an interface for inputting the user's basic information. The matching unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and performs service matching based on the information collected by the collection unit. The information provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides personalized suggestions according to the user's family structure and living environment. The procedure support unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and handles tasks such as preparing and submitting necessary documents and managing the progress of procedures. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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."

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.
