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 leisure-killing plan suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a tool in which an AI agent suggests the optimal leisure-killing plan simply by inputting what the user wants to do and their current situation (location, time, number of people, etc.). This system allows the user to input what they want to do and their current situation, and the AI agent analyzes this information to suggest the optimal plan. For example, it can be used when you don't know what to do during free time on holidays or weekdays, due to sudden weather changes, or schedule changes. It is also useful when you have something you want to do but are unsure whether a shop is open or crowded. The AI agent suggests the optimal plan simply by the user inputting conditions such as the number of people, location, time, genre (eating, playing, studying), indoor / outdoor, and budget. Furthermore, by allowing facilities to input information, the accuracy of search results can be improved, contributing to increased customer traffic. For example, by inputting information such as available time slots and recommended points, facilities can suggest more appropriate plans for users. This mechanism allows users to effectively utilize their free time, and facilities can increase their customer traffic. For example, even if plans change due to sudden rain, the AI agent can suggest the optimal indoor leisure-killing plan. Furthermore, the system can propose plans that take into account sudden schedule changes during business trips or crowd conditions when going out with family. This allows the leisure-killing plan suggestion system to propose the optimal plan based on what the user wants to do and their current situation.
[0029] The leisure-killing plan suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives input about what the user wants to do and their current situation. What the user wants to do includes, but is not limited to, travel, events, hobbies, etc. Current situation includes, but is not limited to, current location, time, budget, etc. The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the information using, for example, data analysis methods and algorithms. The suggestion unit proposes the optimal plan based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit proposes, for example, a plan that best matches the user's wishes or a plan with high cost performance. Thus, the leisure-killing plan suggestion system according to this embodiment can propose the optimal plan based on what the user wants to do and their current situation.
[0030] The reception desk provides an interface for users to input what they want to do and their current situation. What they want to do includes, but is not limited to, travel, events, and hobbies; it encompasses a wide range of options such as watching sports, watching movies, shopping, and outdoor activities. Users can select options that match their interests and preferences. Their current situation includes, but is not limited to, their current location, time, and budget; they can also input information such as weather, traffic conditions, whether they are accompanied by someone, and their physical condition. This allows the reception desk to accurately understand the user's detailed wishes and situation, providing the necessary information to the subsequent analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, by saving the information entered by users and referencing past data, the reception desk can learn user preferences and behavioral patterns, laying the foundation for more personalized suggestions. For example, based on previously entered information, it can analyze the user's preferred activities and visited locations and reflect this in future suggestions. This enables the reception desk to collect flexible and highly accurate information tailored to user needs, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the system.
[0031] The Analysis Department plays a crucial role in analyzing information entered by the Reception Department and deriving the optimal plan based on the user's wishes and circumstances. The Analysis Department utilizes various data analysis methods and algorithms to comprehensively analyze user input. For example, it uses natural language processing technology to analyze text data about what the user wants to do, extracting their intentions and specific desires. It also uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's current situation data, identifying patterns and trends to derive the optimal plan. Furthermore, the Analysis Department can integrate information obtained from external data sources to perform more accurate analysis. For instance, it can incorporate weather forecast data and traffic information data to perform analysis to suggest the optimal activity based on the user's current location and time. The Analysis Department processes this data in real time, providing the latest information tailored to the user's situation. This allows the Analysis Department to quickly and accurately derive the optimal plan based on the user's wishes and circumstances and provide it to the Proposal Department. Additionally, the Analysis Department can continuously improve the accuracy of its analysis algorithms by utilizing past data and user feedback. This allows the analysis unit to always provide the latest information and highly accurate analysis results, improving the overall reliability of the system and user satisfaction.
[0032] The Proposal Department proposes the most suitable plan to the user based on the information analyzed by the Analysis Department. To propose the plan that best matches the user's wishes and offers the best value for money, the Proposal Department generates multiple options and selects the optimal one. For example, if a user wants to travel, the Proposal Department suggests destinations, accommodations, and sightseeing spots based on the user's budget, current location, and available time. If a user wants to attend an event, the Proposal Department gathers event information that matches the user's interests and provides detailed information such as location, date, time, and participation fee. Furthermore, the Proposal Department can provide more personalized suggestions by considering the user's past activity history and feedback. For example, by suggesting similar plans based on data of activities and places the user has previously enjoyed, user satisfaction can be increased. The Proposal Department also considers interface design and user experience to present these suggestions visually and clearly to the user. For example, it displays the locations of suggested plans on a map or presents detailed plan information in a card format, providing information in an intuitively understandable format. This allows the Proposal Department to quickly and effectively propose the most suitable plan to the user, enriching their leisure time. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. This allows the proposal department to consistently provide optimal plans tailored to user needs, thereby improving the overall reliability of the system and user satisfaction.

Some or all of the processing described above in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can generate plans using an AI model that takes weather information and facility availability as input and outputs the optimal plan.
[0034] The reception desk allows users to input conditions such as the number of users, location, time, genre, indoor / outdoor, and budget. For example, the reception desk can suggest an appropriate plan based on the number of users entered. It can also suggest nearby facilities based on the location entered by the user. Furthermore, it can suggest a plan suitable for the time of day based on the time entered by the user. This allows the system to suggest plans based on the user's detailed conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the number of people, location, time, genre, indoor / outdoor, and budget. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk can suggest a plan using an AI model that takes the conditions entered by the user as input and outputs the optimal plan.
[0035] The reception desk allows the facility to input information such as available time slots and recommended features.

[0037] The proposal unit can propose the optimal plan based on the user's preferences. For example, the proposal unit can propose a plan based on the genre the user desires. It can also propose a plan based on the budget the user desires. Furthermore, it can propose a plan based on the time of day the user desires. This allows the proposal to suggest the optimal plan based on the user's preferences. The optimal plan includes, but is not limited to, a plan that best matches the user's preferences or a plan with high cost performance. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the proposal unit can propose a plan using an AI model that takes the user's preferences as input and outputs the optimal plan.
[0038] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception desk can automatically display as suggestions what the user wants to do and their current situation that they have frequently entered in the past. The reception desk can also prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception desk can predict and suggest what the user wants to do and their current situation for a specific time period based on the user's past input history. In this way, the optimal input method can be suggested by analyzing past input history. Past input history includes, but is not limited to, past input data, frequency, and trends. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can suggest an input method using an AI model that takes the user's past input history as input and outputs the optimal input method.
[0039] The reception desk can simplify input by automatically acquiring the user's current location information when they input what they want to do and their current situation. For example, when a user opens the app, the reception desk automatically acquires their current location and sets it as the location. The reception desk can also suggest optimal candidate locations by considering the distance from the current location when the user inputs what they want to do. Furthermore, if the user uses the app while on the move, the reception desk can update their current location in real time and reflect it as the location. This simplifies input by automatically acquiring the current location information. Current location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data and location services. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can simplify input by using an AI model that takes the user's current location information as input.
[0040] The reception desk can automatically suggest options based on the user's past activity history when the user inputs what they want to do and their current situation.

Some or all of the processing described above in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the suggestion unit can make suggestions using an AI model that takes the user's past behavioral data as input and outputs optimal suggestions.
[0054] The reception desk can simplify input by automatically acquiring the user's current location information when they input what they want to do and their current situation. For example, when a user opens the app, it can automatically acquire their current location and set it as the location. It can also suggest the most suitable candidate location by considering the distance from the current location when the user inputs what they want to do. Furthermore, if the user uses the app while on the move, it can update their current location in real time and reflect it as the location. This simplifies input by automatically acquiring the current location information. Current location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data and location services. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception desk can simplify input by using an AI model that takes the user's current location information as input.
[0055] The analysis unit can customize its analysis method based on the user's current situation during the analysis. For example, it can suggest an optimal plan based on the user's current location. It can also suggest an appropriate plan based on the user's current time of day. Furthermore, it can suggest an optimal plan based on the number of users currently present. By customizing the analysis method based on the current situation, a more appropriate analysis becomes possible. The current situation includes, but is not limited to, current location, time, and budget. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the analysis unit can take the user's current situation as input and perform the analysis using an AI model that customizes the analysis method.
[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0057] Step 1: The reception desk enters what you want to do and your current situation. What you want to do may include, but is not limited to, travel, events, hobbies, etc. Your current situation may include, but is not limited to, your current location, time, budget, etc. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the information using, for example, data analysis methods and algorithms. Step 3: The proposal department proposes the optimal plan based on the information analyzed by the analysis department. For example, the proposal department will propose a plan that best matches the user's wishes or a plan that offers high cost performance.
[0058] (Example of form 2) The leisure-killing plan suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a tool in which an AI agent suggests the optimal leisure-killing plan simply by inputting what the user wants to do and their current situation (location, time, number of people, etc.). This system allows the user to input what they want to do and their current situation, and the AI agent analyzes this information to suggest the optimal plan. For example, it can be used when you don't know what to do during free time on holidays or weekdays, due to sudden weather changes, or schedule changes. It is also useful when you have something you want to do but are unsure whether a shop is open or crowded. The AI agent suggests the optimal plan simply by the user inputting conditions such as the number of people, location, time, genre (eating, playing, studying), indoor / outdoor, and budget. Furthermore, by allowing facilities to input information, the accuracy of search results can be improved, contributing to increased customer traffic. For example, by inputting information such as available time slots and recommended points, facilities can suggest more appropriate plans for users. This mechanism allows users to effectively utilize their free time, and facilities can increase their customer traffic. For example, even if plans change due to sudden rain, the AI agent can suggest the optimal indoor leisure-killing plan. Furthermore, the system can propose plans that take into account sudden schedule changes during business trips or crowd conditions when going out with family. This allows the leisure-killing plan suggestion system to propose the optimal plan based on what the user wants to do and their current situation.
[0059] The leisure-killing plan suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives input about what the user wants to do and their current situation. What the user wants to do includes, but is not limited to, travel, events, hobbies, etc. Current situation includes, but is not limited to, current location, time, budget, etc. The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the information using, for example, data analysis methods and algorithms. The suggestion unit proposes the optimal plan based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. The suggestion unit proposes, for example, a plan that best matches the user's wishes or a plan with high cost performance. Thus, the leisure-killing plan suggestion system according to this embodiment can propose the optimal plan based on what the user wants to do and their current situation.
[0060] The reception desk provides an interface for users to input what they want to do and their current situation. What they want to do includes, but is not limited to, travel, events, and hobbies; it encompasses a wide range of options such as watching sports, watching movies, shopping, and outdoor activities. Users can select options that match their interests and preferences. Their current situation includes, but is not limited to, their current location, time, and budget; they can also input information such as weather, traffic conditions, whether they are accompanied by someone, and their physical condition. This allows the reception desk to accurately understand the user's detailed wishes and situation, providing the necessary information to the subsequent analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, by saving the information entered by users and referencing past data, the reception desk can learn user preferences and behavioral patterns, laying the foundation for more personalized suggestions.

[0062] The Proposal Department proposes the most suitable plan to the user based on the information analyzed by the Analysis Department. To propose the plan that best matches the user's wishes and offers the best value for money, the Proposal Department generates multiple options and selects the optimal one. For example, if a user wants to travel, the Proposal Department suggests destinations, accommodations, and sightseeing spots based on the user's budget, current location, and available time. If a user wants to attend an event, the Proposal Department gathers event information that matches the user's interests and provides detailed information such as location, date, time, and participation fee. Furthermore, the Proposal Department can provide more personalized suggestions by considering the user's past activity history and feedback. For example, by suggesting similar plans based on data of activities and places the user has previously enjoyed, user satisfaction can be increased. The Proposal Department also considers interface design and user experience to present these suggestions visually and clearly to the user. For example, it displays the locations of suggested plans on a map or presents detailed plan information in a card format, providing information in an intuitively understandable format. This allows the Proposal Department to quickly and effectively propose the most suitable plan to the user, enriching their leisure time. Furthermore, the proposal department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its proposals. This allows the proposal department to consistently provide optimal plans tailored to user needs, thereby improving the overall reliability of the system and user satisfaction.

[0094] The reception desk can simplify input by automatically acquiring the user's current location information when they input what they want to do and their current situation. For example, when a user opens the app, it can automatically acquire their current location and set it as the location. It can also suggest the most suitable candidate location by considering the distance from the current location when the user inputs what they want to do. Furthermore, if the user uses the app while on the move, it can update their current location in real time and reflect it as the location. This simplifies input by automatically acquiring the current location information. Current location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data and location services.

For example, the analysis unit can take the user's current situation as input and perform the analysis using an AI model that customizes the analysis method.
[0096] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, it can provide a simple and highly visible display method. If the user is relaxed, it can provide a display method that includes detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide a display method that gets straight to the point. In this way, by adjusting the display method of the analysis results according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate display becomes possible. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI and multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not using AI.

The analysis unit analyzes the information using, for example, data analysis methods and algorithms. Step 3: The proposal department proposes the optimal plan based on the information analyzed by the analysis department. For example, the proposal department will propose a plan that best matches the user's wishes or a plan that offers high cost performance.

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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception 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 reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414, which allows the user to input what they want to do or their current situation by voice. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the input information. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which proposes the optimal plan 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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."
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
