[0028] (Example of form 1) An agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes generative AI to monitor and analyze the digital advertising activities of competitors and to reveal the actions and trends of competitors. This agent system acquires advertising patterns and effectiveness measurement data of competitors in real time, and the generative AI analyzes this data to identify the success and failure factors of competitors. Furthermore, based on the analysis results, the generative AI proposes specific improvement plans for the company's advertising strategy. This mechanism allows marketing teams to quickly formulate appropriate strategies and maximize the effectiveness of their advertising. For example, the agent system acquires advertising patterns and effectiveness measurement data of competitors in real time. At this time, it grasps what kind of creatives competitors are using on which platforms. For example, it collects data such as what kind of ads competitors are running on social media and which ads are getting high click-through rates. Next, the agent system analyzes the collected data using generative AI. The generative AI analyzes the advertising patterns and effectiveness measurement data of competitors and identifies success and failure factors. For example, if a particular creative is getting a high click-through rate, it analyzes the elements of that creative and identifies the success factors. Furthermore, the agent system, based on the analysis results, has the generative AI propose specific improvement plans for the company's advertising strategy. For example, the system proposes new advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors. It also proposes strategies to avoid the failure factors of competitors. This mechanism allows marketing teams to quickly develop appropriate strategies and maximize the effectiveness of their advertising. For instance, it enables the rapid creation of advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors, allowing for effective targeting of the target audience. Furthermore, by avoiding the failure factors of competitors, advertising effectiveness can be maximized. As a result, the agent system monitors and analyzes the advertising activities of competitors, revealing competitor trends and strategies, which enables differentiation of marketing strategies and effective targeting.
[0029] The agent system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a proposal unit. The data collection unit acquires advertising patterns and effectiveness measurement data of competitor companies in real time. For example, the data collection unit can understand what kind of creatives competitor companies are using on which platforms. For example, the data collection unit can collect advertising data on social media and understand which ads are getting high click-through rates. The data collection unit can also collect data from multiple platforms, such as search engines and display advertising networks. For example, the data collection unit can analyze advertising patterns and understand the frequency and timing of ad placements. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect effectiveness measurement data and acquire data such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and impressions. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and identifies the success and failure factors of competitors. For example, if a particular creative is getting a high click-through rate, the analysis unit analyzes the elements of that creative and identifies the success factors. For example, the analysis unit can use generative AI to analyze the collected data and identify success and failure factors. The generation AI can analyze elements of advertising creatives using, for example, text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The analysis unit can also analyze elements of advertising creatives using multimodal generation AI. The analysis unit can analyze performance measurement data such as click-through rates and conversion rates to identify success and failure factors. The proposal unit proposes specific improvement plans for the company's advertising strategy based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal unit can propose new advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors. The proposal unit can generate new advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors using, for example, generation AI. The proposal unit can also propose strategies to avoid the failure factors of competitors.

[0030] The data collection department acquires real-time data on competitors' advertising patterns and performance measurement data. Specifically, the department collects data from multiple platforms, including social media, search engines, and display advertising networks, to understand what kind of creative content competitors are using on which platforms. For example, on social media, it can collect advertising data to understand which ads are achieving high click-through rates. This allows for a detailed understanding of what kind of creative content competitors are using and what kind of ads they are running on which platforms. The data collection department can also analyze advertising patterns to understand the frequency and timing of ad placements. For example, if ads placed during specific time slots are achieving high click-through rates, focusing on those time slots can help develop effective advertising strategies. Furthermore, the data collection department can collect performance measurement data, obtaining data such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and impressions. This allows for a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of competitors' ads and the ability to reflect this in one's own advertising strategy. The data collection department centrally manages this data and stores it in a database that is updated in real time. This allows the analysis and proposal departments to quickly access the necessary data. Furthermore, the data collection unit can adjust the frequency and accuracy of data collection, enabling flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to identify the success and failure factors of competitors. Specifically, if a particular creative is achieving a high click-through rate, the analysis unit analyzes the elements of that creative to identify the success factors. For example, a generative AI can be used to analyze the collected data and identify the success and failure factors. The generative AI can use text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze the elements of an advertising creative. This allows for detailed identification of success factors such as the ad's wording, design, and targeting elements. The analysis unit can also use a multimodal generative AI to analyze the elements of an advertising creative. Because the multimodal generative AI can analyze multiple data formats such as images and videos as well as text, it can analyze the overall effect of the advertising creative in detail. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze performance measurement data such as click-through rates and conversion rates to identify success and failure factors. For example, if a particular ad is achieving a high conversion rate, the analysis unit can analyze the elements of that ad in detail to identify the success factors. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and identify the success and failure factors of competitors. Furthermore, the analytics department can utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, it can predict the effectiveness of specific creatives and targeting based on past advertising data and formulate future advertising strategies. This allows the analytics department to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to formulate long-term advertising strategies, improving the reliability and effectiveness of the entire system.
[0032] The proposal department will propose specific improvement plans for the company's advertising strategy based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. Specifically, they will propose new advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors. For example, they can use generative AI to generate new advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors. The generative AI can use text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to generate advertising copy that reflects the success factors of competitors. They can also use image generation AI to generate advertising designs that reflect the success factors of competitors. This allows the proposal department to quickly propose effective advertising creatives that incorporate the success factors of competitors. Furthermore, the proposal department can also propose strategies to avoid the failure factors of competitors. For example, they can use generative AI to generate strategies to avoid the failure factors of competitors. Based on the collected data, the generative AI can identify the failure factors of competitors and propose specific strategies to avoid those factors. This allows the proposal department to quickly propose effective strategies to avoid the failure factors of competitors. In addition, based on the analysis results, the proposal department can propose specific improvement plans such as reviewing the timing, frequency, and targeting of advertising. For example, if a company is achieving a high click-through rate during a specific time period, a strategy can be proposed to concentrate advertising during that time. Furthermore, by suggesting effective ad creatives for specific target audiences, the accuracy of targeting can be improved. This allows the proposal department to quickly propose concrete improvement plans based on analysis results, maximizing the effectiveness of their advertising strategy.
[0033] The data collection unit can understand what kind of creative content competitors are using on which platforms. For example, the data collection unit can collect advertising data from social media to understand which ads are getting high click-through rates. The data collection unit can also collect data from multiple platforms, such as search engines and display advertising networks. For example, the data collection unit can analyze advertising patterns to understand the frequency and timing of ad placements. This allows for a more detailed understanding of competitors' advertising activities, enabling the development of more effective marketing strategies. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the data collection unit can input competitors' advertising data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the data analysis.
[0034] The analysis unit analyzes the collected data and, if a particular creative is achieving a high click-through rate, it can analyze the elements of that creative and identify the factors contributing to its success. For example, the analysis unit can use a generative AI to analyze the collected data and identify factors contributing to success and failure. The generative AI can, for example, use a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to analyze the elements of an advertising creative. The analysis unit can also use a multimodal generation AI to analyze the elements of an advertising creative. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze performance measurement data such as click-through rates and conversion rates to identify factors contributing to success and failure. By identifying factors contributing to success, it is possible to obtain reference information for creating effective advertising creatives.

[0149] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and proposal unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit uses the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the robot 414 to acquire advertising patterns and effectiveness measurement data of competing companies in real time. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data to identify the success and failure factors of competitors. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which proposes specific improvement plans for the company's advertising strategy based on the analysis results. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
