[0028] (Example of form 1) The meeting room reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an AI agent for streamlining meeting room reservations and promoting appropriate use. This meeting room reservation system learns the user's reservation history and meeting patterns and optimizes the reservation status in real time. For example, the AI learns the user's reservation history and meeting patterns. In this process, the AI analyzes past reservation data, meeting frequency, participant trends, etc. For example, if there is a tendency for meetings to be concentrated on specific days of the week or time slots, the AI can grasp that pattern. Next, the AI optimizes the reservation status in real time. Based on the current reservation status and the user's reservation history, the AI proposes the most appropriate meeting room and time. For example, if meeting room A is already reserved, the AI proposes meeting room B. Also, if the user wishes to hold a meeting during a specific time slot, the AI proposes an available meeting room during that time slot. Furthermore, the meeting room reservation system automatically reserves the meeting room and time proposed by the AI. This allows the user to reserve a meeting room without any effort. For example, the user simply confirms the meeting room and time proposed by the AI and approves it to complete the reservation. This mechanism prevents duplicate reservations and unnecessary reservations. Because AI optimizes booking status in real time, the efficiency of meeting room utilization is maximized. For example, by effectively utilizing the time slots when meeting rooms are not in use, unnecessary bookings can be reduced. In addition, by analyzing the user's meeting patterns and history, the AI can suggest the optimal meeting room and time. This allows users to hold meetings efficiently. For example, users who hold meetings frequently can be offered regularly available meeting rooms, saving them the trouble of booking. In this way, using an AI agent can streamline meeting room booking and promote appropriate use. In today's world, where the efficient use of meeting rooms is urgently needed due to the spread of remote work and the hybridization of offices, this invention is extremely useful. As a result, the meeting room booking system can streamline meeting room booking and promote appropriate use.
[0029] The meeting room reservation system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a reservation unit. The data collection unit collects the user's reservation history and meeting patterns. The user's reservation history includes, but is not limited to, past reservation dates and times, reserved meeting rooms, and reservation frequency. The data collection unit collects past reservation data to understand the frequency of meetings and participant trends. The data collection unit can also analyze meeting frequency and participant trends in order to collect meeting patterns. For example, the data collection unit can understand the tendency for meetings to be concentrated on specific days of the week or time slots. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit.

The suggestion unit proposes the most suitable meeting room and time based, for example, on the current reservation status and the user's reservation history. The suggestion unit can also regularly suggest available meeting rooms to users who frequently hold meetings. For example, the suggestion unit can make suggestions for effectively utilizing time slots when meeting rooms are available. The reservation unit reserves the meeting room and time suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the reservation unit can automatically reserve the suggested meeting room and time. The reservation unit can also be configured so that the reservation is completed simply by the user's approval. For example, the reservation unit can confirm the suggested meeting room and time, and the reservation is completed simply by the user's approval. As a result, the meeting room reservation system according to this embodiment can streamline meeting room reservations and promote appropriate use.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user reservation history and meeting patterns. User reservation history includes, but is not limited to, past reservation dates and times, reserved meeting rooms, and reservation frequency. Specifically, the data collection unit collects detailed data such as which meeting rooms users have reserved in the past and at what times, how often they hold meetings, the number of participants, and the purpose of the meetings. This allows the unit to understand the user's meeting room usage trends and patterns. The data collection unit can also analyze meeting frequency and participant trends to collect meeting patterns. For example, it analyzes past reservation data to understand the tendency for meetings to be concentrated on specific days of the week or time slots. Furthermore, the data collection unit collects information such as the job titles and departments of meeting participants, as well as the purpose and content of the meetings, allowing for a more detailed understanding of meeting patterns. This enables the data collection unit to understand the user's meeting room usage trends and patterns and collect data to provide to the analysis and proposal departments. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can link with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data is stored on a cloud server, making it accessible to the analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, based on the collected data, the analysis unit can identify trends in the concentration of meetings on specific days of the week or time slots. Specifically, it analyzes the frequency of meetings and participant trends based on past reservation data. For instance, the analysis unit can identify trends in the concentration of meetings on specific days of the week or time slots and provide information to optimize meeting room usage. The analysis unit can also analyze the frequency of meetings and participant trends. For example, it can identify the frequency of meetings and participant trends based on past reservation data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use AI to analyze data and predict user behavior patterns and meeting trends. For example, the AI can predict which days of the week and time slots a particular user tends to hold meetings on based on past reservation data and suggest the optimal meeting room and time. In addition, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0032] The Proposal Department proposes the optimal meeting room and time based on the analysis results obtained by the Analysis Department. For example, the Proposal Department proposes the optimal meeting room and time based on the current reservation status and the user's reservation history. Specifically, the Proposal Department proposes the optimal meeting room and time based on the data provided by the Analysis Department, taking into account the user's past reservation history and meeting patterns. For example, it can propose regularly available meeting rooms to users who frequently hold meetings. The Proposal Department makes suggestions for effectively utilizing the time slots when meeting rooms are available. For example, if there is a tendency for meetings to be concentrated on specific days or times, the Proposal Department will propose holding meetings during those times if meeting rooms are available. In addition, the Proposal Department can propose the optimal meeting room by considering conditions such as the facilities and capacity of the meeting room according to the user's needs. In this way, the Proposal Department can propose the optimal meeting room and time to the user and improve the efficiency of meeting room utilization. Furthermore, the Proposal Department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the suggestions. For example, it can evaluate user satisfaction with the proposed meeting rooms and times and improve the suggestions. In this way, the Proposal Department can propose the optimal meeting room and time to the user and improve the efficiency of meeting room utilization.
[0033] The reservation department reserves meeting rooms and times proposed by the proposal department. For example, the reservation department can automatically reserve proposed meeting rooms and times. Specifically, based on the optimal meeting room and time provided by the proposal department, the reservation department automatically performs the reservation process. The reservation department can also enable a system where reservations are completed simply by the user's approval. For example, the user simply reviews the proposed meeting room and time and approves it to complete the reservation. This allows the reservation department to save user effort and book meeting rooms quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, the reservation department can manage reservation status in real time and flexibly respond to changes and cancellations. For example, if a user wants to change a reservation, the reservation department will propose a new meeting room and time and quickly update the reservation. The reservation department can also constantly monitor the reservation status and make appropriate adjustments to prevent overlapping or conflicting reservations. This allows the reservation department to provide users with quick and efficient meeting room reservations and improve the efficiency of meeting room utilization. Additionally, the reservation department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the reservation system. For example, it can evaluate user satisfaction with the ease of the reservation process and the certainty of reservations, and use this feedback to improve the reservation system. This allows the reservation department to provide users with quick and efficient meeting room reservations, thereby improving the efficiency of meeting room utilization.
[0034] The suggestion unit can propose the optimal meeting room and time based on the current reservation status and the user's reservation history. For example, the suggestion unit can propose the optimal meeting room and time based on the current reservation status. It can also propose the optimal meeting room and time based on the user's reservation history. For example, the suggestion unit can grasp the current reservation status in real time and propose the optimal meeting room and time. The user's reservation history includes, but is not limited to, past reservation dates and times, reserved meeting rooms, and reservation frequency. This allows the suggestion unit to propose the optimal meeting room and time based on the current reservation status and the user's reservation history. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can propose the optimal meeting room and time using an AI model that takes the current reservation status and the user's reservation history as input and outputs the optimal meeting room and time.

[0065] (Example of form 2) The meeting room reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an AI agent for streamlining meeting room reservations and promoting appropriate use. This meeting room reservation system learns the user's reservation history and meeting patterns and optimizes the reservation status in real time. For example, the AI learns the user's reservation history and meeting patterns. In this process, the AI analyzes past reservation data, meeting frequency, participant trends, etc. For example, if there is a tendency for meetings to be concentrated on specific days of the week or time slots, the AI can grasp that pattern. Next, the AI optimizes the reservation status in real time. Based on the current reservation status and the user's reservation history, the AI proposes the most appropriate meeting room and time. For example, if meeting room A is already reserved, the AI proposes meeting room B. Also, if the user wishes to hold a meeting during a specific time slot, the AI proposes an available meeting room during that time slot. Furthermore, the meeting room reservation system automatically reserves the meeting room and time proposed by the AI. This allows the user to reserve a meeting room without any effort. For example, the user simply confirms the meeting room and time proposed by the AI and approves it to complete the reservation. This mechanism prevents duplicate reservations and unnecessary reservations. Because AI optimizes booking status in real time, the efficiency of meeting room utilization is maximized. For example, by effectively utilizing the time slots when meeting rooms are not in use, unnecessary bookings can be reduced. In addition, by analyzing the user's meeting patterns and history, the AI can suggest the optimal meeting room and time. This allows users to hold meetings efficiently. For example, users who hold meetings frequently can be offered regularly available meeting rooms, saving them the trouble of booking. In this way, using an AI agent can streamline meeting room booking and promote appropriate use. In today's world, where the efficient use of meeting rooms is urgently needed due to the spread of remote work and the hybridization of offices, this invention is extremely useful. As a result, the meeting room booking system can streamline meeting room booking and promote appropriate use.

[0137] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0138] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0139] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0140] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.).
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0150] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and reservation unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's reservation history and meeting patterns using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314, and processes the data with the control unit 46A. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data with the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 to understand the meeting patterns. The proposal unit proposes the optimal meeting room and time based on the analysis results with the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The reservation unit can automatically reserve the meeting room and time proposed by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0151] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0152] 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.
[0153] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0154] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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).
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.).
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and reservation unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's reservation history and meeting patterns using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and processes the data with the control unit 46A. The analysis unit analyzes the collected data with the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 to understand the meeting patterns. The proposal unit proposes the optimal meeting room and time based on the analysis results with the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The reservation unit can automatically reserve the meeting room and time proposed by 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 various modifications are possible.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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."
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.

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.
