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 system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that acquires a person's personality and thoughts from acquired training data. This system collects data by utilizing how an individual uses their smartphone and its contents (emails, social media, etc.), and generates a clone only when the person authenticates. This system aims to reduce the burden on the person with the heaviest burden and increase truly necessary family communication by creating clones of all family members. The clone can repeatedly converse with the user's thoughts and encourage growth by observing the other person's changes. Daily activities are sensed from smart speakers, cameras, etc., and interactions with children are also incorporated as training data. The target is dual-income households and family caregivers, and this will reduce the burden of childcare and caregiving and increase family communication. For example, the system collects how an individual uses their smartphone and its contents (emails, social media, etc.). For example, the system acquires personality and thoughts from the collected data. For example, the system generates a clone only when the person authenticates. For example, the system repeatedly converses with the user's thoughts and encourages growth by observing the other person's changes. For example, the system senses daily activities from smart speakers, cameras, etc. This allows the system to extract a person's personality and way of thinking from the acquired training data and generate a clone.

[0029] The system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a dialogue unit. The collection unit collects data. The collection unit can, for example, collect how an individual uses their smartphone and the content of their posts (emails, social media, etc.). The collection unit can, for example, collect the app usage history of a smartphone. The collection unit can, for example, collect the content of social media posts. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit can, for example, obtain personality traits and thoughts from the collected data. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze the data using machine learning algorithms. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze the data using statistical analysis. The generation unit generates clones based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit can, for example, generate digital avatars. The generation unit can, for example, generate AI agents. The generation unit can, for example, generate clones only if the user has authenticated. The dialogue unit allows the clones generated by the generation unit to engage in dialogue. The dialogue unit can, for example, conduct voice dialogues. The dialogue unit can, for example, conduct text dialogues. The dialogue unit can, for example, repeatedly engage in dialogue based on the user's thoughts and encourage growth while observing the changes in the other party. As a result, the system according to the embodiment can collect and analyze data, generate clones, and engage in dialogue.

[0030] The data collection unit collects data. For example, the data collection unit can collect information about how individuals use their smartphones and the content of their posts (emails, social media, etc.). Specifically, it can collect smartphone app usage history, browsing history, location information, call history, message content, social media posts, media files such as photos and videos, and even device sensor data (accelerometer, gyroscope, environmental sensors, etc.). This data is extremely diverse and reflects the user's behavioral patterns, interests, and detailed information about their daily life. The data collection unit collects this data in real time and transmits it to a central database. Data collection is carried out using appropriate security protocols and encryption technologies to protect user privacy. Furthermore, the data collection unit is required to collect data only with the user's consent, and the collected data is anonymized. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently collect detailed data while protecting user privacy. In addition, the data collection unit can flexibly respond to specific situations and conditions by adjusting the frequency and scope of data collection. For example, if a particular app is used frequently, the data collection unit can focus on collecting data related to that app. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can extract personality and thought processes from the collected data. Specifically, it uses machine learning algorithms to analyze data and extract user behavior patterns, interests, emotional states, and thought tendencies. For example, it can use natural language processing technology to analyze user emotions and intentions from email and social media posts. It can also use statistical analysis to grasp user interest trends from app usage history and browsing history. Furthermore, by analyzing data correlations, it can identify user behavior patterns and habits and build predictive models. This allows the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze collected data and gain a deep understanding of user personality and thought processes. In addition, the analysis unit can utilize historical data and statistical information to perform long-term trend analysis and predictions. For example, it can predict user behavior patterns in specific time periods or situations based on past behavioral data and predict future behavior. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term trend analysis and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.

[0032] The generation unit generates clones based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit can, for example, generate digital avatars. Specifically, it can generate digital avatars that reflect the user's personality and thoughts, and perform conversations and actions on behalf of the user. The digital avatars faithfully reproduce the user's appearance, voice, speaking style, and facial expressions, enabling natural conversations that reflect the user's personality. Furthermore, the generation unit can generate AI agents. These AI agents learn the user's behavioral patterns and thought patterns, and can perform tasks and provide information on behalf of the user. For example, they can automatically manage the user's schedule, reply to emails, and post on social media. In addition, the generation unit can only generate clones after authentication. This protects user privacy and prevents the creation of unauthorized clones. Biometric authentication technologies such as fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and voice recognition can be used for authentication. This allows the generation unit to safely and accurately generate clones that reflect the user's personality and thoughts, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.

[0033] The dialogue unit uses clones generated by the generation unit to engage in conversations. The dialogue unit can, for example, conduct voice conversations. Specifically, the generated digital avatar or AI agent can converse on behalf of the user using voice, achieving natural conversation. By combining speech recognition and speech synthesis technologies, it can faithfully reproduce the user's voice and speaking style, enabling natural conversations that do not cause discomfort to the conversation partner. The dialogue unit can also conduct text conversations. In text conversations, it can engage in text-based dialogues, similar to a chatbot, answering user questions and providing information. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can repeatedly engage in conversations based on the user's thoughts, fostering growth by observing the changes in the other party. Specifically, by collecting user feedback through conversations and enabling the AI ​​agent to self-learn, it can acquire more advanced conversational capabilities. This allows the dialogue unit to respond flexibly to user needs and situations, improving the overall system performance. Additionally, the dialogue unit supports multiple conversation modes and combines voice and text conversations to provide the user with an optimal conversational experience. This allows the dialogue unit to provide users with quick and appropriate information and support, improving the reliability and usability of the overall system.

[0034] The system includes a sensing unit that senses daily activities from sources such as smart speakers and cameras. The sensing unit can, for example, collect voice data using a smart speaker. The sensing unit can, for example, collect image data using a camera. The sensing unit can collect more detailed data by sensing daily activities. Thus, the system can collect more detailed data by sensing daily activities.

[0035] The data collection unit can collect information about how individuals use their smartphones and the content they use. For example, the data collection unit can collect smartphone app usage history. For example, the data collection unit can collect email content. For example, the data collection unit can collect social media posts. By collecting information about how individuals use their smartphones and the content they use, the data collection unit can obtain detailed data.

[0036] The analysis unit can extract personality and thought processes from the collected data. For example, the analysis unit can analyze data using machine learning algorithms. For example, the analysis unit can analyze data using statistical analysis. For example, the analysis unit can analyze data using data mining techniques. As a result, the accuracy of the clones improves by allowing the analysis unit to extract personality and thought processes from the collected data.

[0037] The generation unit can only generate clones if the user has authenticated. The generation unit can authenticate the user using, for example, password authentication. The generation unit can authenticate the user using, for example, biometric authentication. The generation unit can authenticate the user using, for example, two-factor authentication. This allows the generation unit to protect privacy by generating clones only if the user has authenticated.

[0038] The dialogue unit can repeatedly engage in conversations based on the user's thoughts, fostering growth by observing the other party's changes. For example, the dialogue unit can learn the content of the conversation using a learning algorithm. For example, the dialogue unit can foster growth by providing feedback. For example, the dialogue unit can adjust the content of the conversation based on the user's thoughts. This allows for more natural conversations by enabling the dialogue unit to repeatedly engage in conversations based on the user's thoughts, fostering growth by observing the other party's changes.

[0039] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past data collection history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting data from applications that the user has frequently used in the past. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting data that contains important information from data collected by the user in the past. For example, the data collection unit can collect data at specific time periods based on the user's past data collection history. In this way, the data collection unit can select the optimal collection method by analyzing the user's past data collection history.

[0040] The data collection unit can filter data based on the user's current activities and areas of interest during data collection.

For example, if a user uses a particular hashtag, the data collection unit can collect data related to that hashtag. In this way, the data collection unit can collect relevant data by analyzing a user's social media activity.

[0043] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data. For example, the analysis unit can perform a detailed analysis on highly important data. For example, the analysis unit can perform a simplified analysis on less important data. For example, the analysis unit can perform an analysis with an appropriate level of detail on moderately important data. In this way, the analysis unit can perform efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data.

[0044] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the data category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply a natural language processing algorithm to text data. For example, the analysis unit can apply an image recognition algorithm to image data. For example, the analysis unit can apply a speech recognition algorithm to audio data. By applying different analysis algorithms depending on the data category, the analysis unit can perform more accurate analysis.

[0045] The analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the data collection period during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of the most recent data. For example, the analysis unit can perform analysis while referring to past data. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of data collected during a specific period. As a result, the analysis unit can perform efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the data collection period.

[0046] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of highly relevant data. For example, the analysis unit can postpone the analysis of less relevant data. For example, the analysis unit can dynamically adjust the order of analysis according to the relevance of the data. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data.

[0047] The generation unit can analyze the user's past data to select the optimal generation method when generating clones.

For example, the analysis unit can perform a simplified analysis on less important data. For example, the analysis unit can perform an analysis with an appropriate level of detail on moderately important data. In this way, the analysis unit can perform efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data.

[0116] The generation unit can analyze the user's past data to select the optimal generation method when generating clones.

As a result, the generation unit can select the optimal clone generation method by analyzing the user's past data.

[0117] The dialogue unit can select the optimal dialogue method by referring to the user's past dialogue history during a conversation. For example, the dialogue unit can prioritize using dialogue styles that the user has preferred in the past. For example, the dialogue unit can provide relevant information based on the questions the user has frequently asked in the past. For example, the dialogue unit can prioritize conversations on specific topics based on the user's past dialogue history. In this way, the dialogue unit can select the optimal dialogue method by referring to the user's past dialogue history.

[0118] The sensing unit can select the optimal sensing method by considering the user's geographical location information during sensing. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the sensing unit can perform sensing related to that location. For example, if the user is traveling, the sensing unit can perform sensing related to the travel destination. For example, if the user is at home, the sensing unit can perform sensing related to home. In this way, the sensing unit can select the optimal sensing method by considering the user's geographical location information.

[0119] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0120] Step 1: The data collection unit collects data. For example, it can collect information on how individuals use their smartphones and the content of their posts (emails, social media, etc.), their smartphone app usage history, and the content of their social media posts. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. For example, it can extract personality traits and thought processes from the collected data, and analyze the data using machine learning algorithms and statistical analysis. Step 3: The generation unit generates clones based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it can generate digital avatars or AI agents, and clones can only be generated if the user authenticates. Step 4: The dialogue unit engages in conversation with the clones generated by the generation unit. For example, it can engage in voice or text dialogue, allowing the user to repeatedly interact with the clones based on their thoughts and encourage growth by observing the changes in the other party.

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.

[0172] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. 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.

[0173] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, dialogue unit, and sensing unit, is implemented in 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 collects information on how an individual uses their smartphone and the content of their posts (emails, social media, etc.). The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and extracts personality and thoughts from the collected data. The generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates a clone based on the analyzed data. The dialogue unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and the generated clone engages in voice and text dialogue. The sensing unit senses daily activities using the camera 42 of the robot 414 or a smart speaker and collects detailed data. 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.

[0174] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0175] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0176] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0177] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0178] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0179] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0180] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0181] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0182] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0183] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0184] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0185] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0186] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0187] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0188] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0189] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.
