Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses an AI agent to provide learning support tailored to the cognitive characteristics of children. This learning support system measures the cognitive characteristics of children and derives the optimal learning format (proportion of text, diagrams, audio, video, etc.). Next, it enhances learning efficiency by converting the learning materials used by the child into a format that suits their cognitive characteristics. First, the learning support system measures the cognitive characteristics of children. At this time, it grasps what kind of learning style the children are good at through questionnaires and simple tests. For example, it evaluates children with ADHD who excel in kinesthetic cognition and interactive learning but have difficulty understanding written text, children with ASD who excel in visual cognition and are good at processing visual information but have difficulty with verbal communication, and children with LD who have difficulty reading and writing but can be supported by multimedia materials that utilize audio and video. Next, the learning support system derives the optimal learning format based on the measurement results. For example, for visually dominant learners, it converts the materials to supplement important concepts in the text with diagrams and illustrations, so that even complex information can be intuitively understood with visual support. Furthermore, for learners with a mixed auditory and visual learning style, the text content is converted into video content, using animation and narration to make it easier to understand. For learners who prefer experiential learning, the materials are converted into interactive simulations and games, allowing them to learn while actually experiencing problem-solving. For learners who are primarily auditory learners, the materials are converted into audiobooks, enabling efficient learning during commutes, while doing housework, or other activities. In this way, the learning support system provides learning materials tailored to each child's cognitive characteristics, increasing learning efficiency. It also monitors learning progress and adjusts materials and plans as needed to provide continuous learning support. For example, for children who have difficulty reading long texts, the text is divided into key points and converted into a learning comic strip with short dialogues and illustrations connecting scenes. It also proposes a learning plan that takes into account the cognitive load and suggests a timer to maintain motivation. This system provides optimal learning for all children and realizes learning support that supports developmental disabilities.For example, providing interactive learning materials for children with ADHD and visual learning materials for children with ASD allows for learning support tailored to their specific characteristics. Furthermore, providing multimedia learning materials utilizing audio and video for children with learning disabilities (LD) supports their comprehension and memory. This improves children's learning efficiency and increases their motivation to learn. In this way, the learning support system can provide learning support that is aligned with each child's cognitive characteristics.
[0029] The learning support system according to the embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a conversion unit, and a provision unit. The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics. The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics, for example, through questionnaires or simple tests. The data collection unit conducts questionnaires, for example, to understand what learning styles the child is good at. The questionnaires include, for example, questions about the child's preferred learning style and learning environment. The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics, for example, through simple tests. Simple tests include, for example, questions that evaluate characteristics such as visual cognition, auditory cognition, and kinesthetic cognition. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and derives the optimal learning style. The analysis unit derives, for example, the optimal learning style for the child's cognitive characteristics based on the collected data. The analysis unit proposes, for example, teaching materials that supplement important concepts in the text with diagrams and illustrations for visually dominant learners. The analysis unit proposes, for example, converting the text content into video content for auditory-visual mixed learners. The analysis unit proposes, for example, converting learning materials into interactive simulations or game formats for learners who prefer experiential learning. The conversion unit converts the learning materials based on the learning format derived by the analysis unit. The conversion unit converts the materials into supplementary materials with diagrams and illustrations for visually dominant learners. The conversion unit converts the content of the text into video content for auditory-visual mixed learners. The conversion unit converts the learning materials into interactive simulations or game formats for learners who prefer experiential learning. The provision unit provides the learning materials converted by the conversion unit. The provision unit provides the converted learning materials online, for example. The provision unit provides the converted learning materials in downloadable format, for example. The provision unit provides the converted learning materials in printed form, for example. This enables the learning support system according to the embodiment to provide learning support tailored to the cognitive characteristics of children.
[0030] The data collection unit measures children's cognitive characteristics. This is done, for example, through questionnaires and simple tests. Specifically, questionnaires include questions about children's preferred learning styles and environments. For example, questions to determine whether a child prefers visual, auditory, or physical learning materials. Questions about the learning environment might include whether a quiet environment is preferable, whether learning with music is effective, or whether group learning is suitable. Furthermore, simple tests include questions that assess characteristics such as visual cognition, auditory cognition, and kinesthetic cognition. For example, visual cognition might be assessed through shape and color recognition tests, auditory cognition through tests that require distinguishing sound patterns, and kinesthetic cognition through tests measuring simple movements and manual dexterity. This data is centrally managed by the data collection unit and transmitted to the analysis unit. The data collection unit can also utilize online questionnaires and digital tests to efficiently collect this data. This allows the data collection unit to gain a detailed understanding of children's cognitive characteristics and provide foundational data for offering optimal learning support to each individual child.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to determine the optimal learning format. For example, based on the collected data, the analysis unit determines the learning format best suited to each child's cognitive characteristics. Specifically, for visually dominant learners, it proposes teaching materials that supplement important concepts in the text with diagrams and illustrations. Since visually dominant learners tend to deepen their understanding through visual information, using diagrams and illustrations can convey the learning content more effectively. For auditory-visual mixed learners, it proposes converting the text content into video content. Video content stimulates both sight and hearing, allowing learners to understand the learning content through multiple senses. Furthermore, for learners who prefer experiential learning, it proposes converting the teaching materials into interactive simulations or games. Since experiential learners tend to deeply understand the learning content through actual experience, simulation and game-style teaching materials are effective in enhancing learning effectiveness. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the collected data and quickly and accurately determine the optimal learning format for each learner. Based on past data and statistical information, the AI analyzes each learner's characteristics and proposes the optimal learning format. Furthermore, the analysis unit can continuously monitor the collected data and revise the learning format as needed in response to the learner's progress and changes. This allows the analysis unit to provide optimal learning support to individual learners and maximize learning effectiveness.
[0032] The conversion unit transforms learning materials based on the learning format derived by the analysis unit. For example, for visually-oriented learners, the conversion unit transforms the materials into supplementary materials that use diagrams and illustrations to highlight important concepts in the text. Specifically, to make the text content visually easier to understand, important concepts and keywords are represented with diagrams and illustrations, allowing learners to grasp them intuitively. For auditory-visual mixed learners, the conversion unit transforms the text content into video content. Video content stimulates both sight and hearing, allowing learners to absorb more information efficiently. By combining narration, music, and animation in videos, the learning content can be conveyed in a more engaging way. Furthermore, for learners who prefer experiential learning, the materials are transformed into interactive simulations or games. Simulation materials reproduce real-world situations, allowing learners to deeply understand the learning content by acting on their own judgments. Game-style materials allow learners to learn while having fun, thus increasing their motivation. The conversion unit can utilize specialized software and tools to efficiently perform these transformation tasks. This allows the conversion unit to provide learning materials in the most optimal format for each learner, maximizing learning effectiveness.
[0033] The provisioning department provides the learning materials converted by the conversion department. For example, the provisioning department provides the converted learning materials online. Specifically, it provides a platform that learners can access via the internet, making the converted learning materials available anytime, anywhere. The provisioning department can also provide the converted learning materials in downloadable format. This allows learners to use the materials offline. Furthermore, the provisioning department can provide the converted learning materials in printed form. Printed materials are useful for learners who do not have digital devices or who prefer learning on paper. By combining these provisioning methods, the provisioning department can meet the diverse needs of learners. In addition, the provisioning department can collect learner usage data and feedback to continuously improve the quality of the materials provided. For example, it can monitor access history and learning progress on the online platform to understand which materials learners are using and to what extent. Based on learner feedback, it can also review the content and delivery methods of the materials to provide more effective learning support. In this way, the provisioning department can provide learners with the most suitable learning materials and maximize learning effectiveness.

[0062] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0063] Step 1: The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics. The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics, for example, through questionnaires or simple tests. Questionnaires include questions about the child's preferred learning style and learning environment, while simple tests include questions that assess characteristics such as visual cognition, auditory cognition, and kinesthetic cognition. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and derives the optimal learning format. For example, the analysis unit suggests teaching materials that supplement important concepts in the text with diagrams and illustrations for visually dominant learners, suggests converting the text content into video content for auditory-visual mixed learners, and suggests converting the teaching materials into interactive simulations or games for learners who prefer experiential learning.

[0064] (Example of form 2) The learning support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses an AI agent to provide learning support tailored to the cognitive characteristics of children. This learning support system measures the cognitive characteristics of children and derives the optimal learning format (proportion of text, diagrams, audio, video, etc.). Next, it enhances learning efficiency by converting the learning materials used by the child into a format that suits their cognitive characteristics. First, the learning support system measures the cognitive characteristics of children. At this time, it grasps what kind of learning style the children are good at through questionnaires and simple tests. For example, it evaluates children with ADHD who excel in kinesthetic cognition and interactive learning but have difficulty understanding written text, children with ASD who excel in visual cognition and are good at processing visual information but have difficulty with verbal communication, and children with LD who have difficulty reading and writing but can be supported by multimedia materials that utilize audio and video. Next, the learning support system derives the optimal learning format based on the measurement results. For example, for visually dominant learners, it converts the materials to supplement important concepts in the text with diagrams and illustrations, so that even complex information can be intuitively understood with visual support. Furthermore, for learners with a mixed auditory and visual learning style, the text content is converted into video content, using animation and narration to make it easier to understand. For learners who prefer experiential learning, the materials are converted into interactive simulations and games, allowing them to learn while actually experiencing problem-solving. For learners who are primarily auditory learners, the materials are converted into audiobooks, enabling efficient learning during commutes, while doing housework, or other activities. In this way, the learning support system provides learning materials tailored to each child's cognitive characteristics, increasing learning efficiency. It also monitors learning progress and adjusts materials and plans as needed to provide continuous learning support. For example, for children who have difficulty reading long texts, the text is divided into key points and converted into a learning comic strip with short dialogues and illustrations connecting scenes. It also proposes a learning plan that takes into account the cognitive load and suggests a timer to maintain motivation. This system provides optimal learning for all children and realizes learning support that supports developmental disabilities.For example, providing interactive learning materials for children with ADHD and visual learning materials for children with ASD allows for learning support tailored to their specific characteristics. Furthermore, providing multimedia learning materials utilizing audio and video for children with learning disabilities (LD) supports their comprehension and memory. This improves children's learning efficiency and increases their motivation to learn. In this way, the learning support system can provide learning support that is aligned with each child's cognitive characteristics.
[0065] The learning support system according to the embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a conversion unit, and a provision unit. The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics. The data collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics, for example, through questionnaires or simple tests.

This enables the learning support system according to the embodiment to provide learning support tailored to the cognitive characteristics of children.
[0066] The data collection unit measures children's cognitive characteristics. This is done, for example, through questionnaires and simple tests. Specifically, questionnaires include questions about children's preferred learning styles and environments. For example, questions to determine whether a child prefers visual, auditory, or physical learning materials. Questions about the learning environment might include whether a quiet environment is preferable, whether learning with music is effective, or whether group learning is suitable. Furthermore, simple tests include questions that assess characteristics such as visual cognition, auditory cognition, and kinesthetic cognition. For example, visual cognition might be assessed through shape and color recognition tests, auditory cognition through tests that require distinguishing sound patterns, and kinesthetic cognition through tests measuring simple movements and manual dexterity. This data is centrally managed by the data collection unit and transmitted to the analysis unit. The data collection unit can also utilize online questionnaires and digital tests to efficiently collect this data. This allows the data collection unit to gain a detailed understanding of children's cognitive characteristics and provide foundational data for offering optimal learning support to each individual child.
[0067] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to determine the optimal learning format. For example, based on the collected data, the analysis unit determines the learning format best suited to each child's cognitive characteristics. Specifically, for visually dominant learners, it proposes teaching materials that supplement important concepts in the text with diagrams and illustrations. Since visually dominant learners tend to deepen their understanding through visual information, using diagrams and illustrations can convey the learning content more effectively. For auditory-visual mixed learners, it proposes converting the text content into video content. Video content stimulates both sight and hearing, allowing learners to understand the learning content through multiple senses. Furthermore, for learners who prefer experiential learning, it proposes converting the teaching materials into interactive simulations or games. Since experiential learners tend to deeply understand the learning content through actual experience, simulation and game-style teaching materials are effective in enhancing learning effectiveness. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the collected data and quickly and accurately determine the optimal learning format for each learner. Based on past data and statistical information, the AI analyzes each learner's characteristics and proposes the optimal learning format. Furthermore, the analysis unit can continuously monitor the collected data and revise the learning format as needed in response to the learner's progress and changes. This allows the analysis unit to provide optimal learning support to individual learners and maximize learning effectiveness.
[0068] The conversion unit transforms learning materials based on the learning format derived by the analysis unit. For example, for visually-oriented learners, the conversion unit transforms the materials into supplementary materials that use diagrams and illustrations to highlight important concepts in the text. Specifically, to make the text content visually easier to understand, important concepts and keywords are represented with diagrams and illustrations, allowing learners to grasp them intuitively. For auditory-visual mixed learners, the conversion unit transforms the text content into video content. Video content stimulates both sight and hearing, allowing learners to absorb more information efficiently. By combining narration, music, and animation in videos, the learning content can be conveyed in a more engaging way. Furthermore, for learners who prefer experiential learning, the materials are transformed into interactive simulations or games. Simulation materials reproduce real-world situations, allowing learners to deeply understand the learning content by acting on their own judgments. Game-style materials allow learners to learn while having fun, thus increasing their motivation. The conversion unit can utilize specialized software and tools to efficiently perform these transformation tasks. This allows the conversion unit to provide learning materials in the most optimal format for each learner, maximizing learning effectiveness.

Specifically, it provides a platform that learners can access via the internet, making the converted learning materials available anytime, anywhere. The provisioning department can also provide the converted learning materials in downloadable format. This allows learners to use the materials offline. Furthermore, the provisioning department can provide the converted learning materials in printed form. Printed materials are useful for learners who do not have digital devices or who prefer learning on paper. By combining these provisioning methods, the provisioning department can meet the diverse needs of learners. In addition, the provisioning department can collect learner usage data and feedback to continuously improve the quality of the materials provided. For example, it can monitor access history and learning progress on the online platform to understand which materials learners are using and to what extent. Based on learner feedback, it can also review the content and delivery methods of the materials to provide more effective learning support. In this way, the provisioning department can provide learners with the most suitable learning materials and maximize learning effectiveness.

[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.).
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.

[0149] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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 microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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).
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.).
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, conversion unit, and provision unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit measures the child's cognitive characteristics using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and collects the results of questionnaires and tests using the control unit 46A. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and derives the optimal learning format. The conversion unit converts the teaching materials based on the analysis results using, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The provision unit provides the teaching materials converted by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0166] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0167] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0168] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0169] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0170] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0171] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0172] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0173] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0174] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0175] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0176] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0177] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0178] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0179] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0180] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0181] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.
[0182] 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.
