Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 3, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the 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 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] 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.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48.

The smart device 14 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.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 proposal creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to analyze customer needs from chat conversations and create an optimal proposal. When a customer clicks "Request Information Here," a chat conversation begins. The generative AI analyzes the content of the conversation with the customer and identifies what the customer truly wants. Then, the generative AI creates a proposal based on the identified needs. The system checks the content of the proposal created by the generative AI to ensure there are no errors. This system can provide proposals that are effectively used by customers in their purchasing decisions and internal reviews. Furthermore, it is expected to provide a new user experience unlike those offered by other companies, reducing the time spent on document creation and review, while contributing to increased sales profits. For example, by enabling customers to quickly make purchasing decisions and reach contracts based on the proposal, the burden on sales representatives can be reduced, and efficient sales activities can be achieved. Thus, the proposal creation system can quickly and accurately create and provide proposals based on customer needs.

[0029] The proposal creation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a checking unit. The reception unit receives information from customers. Information from customers includes, but is not limited to, text information, audio information, and image information. The reception unit can receive information, for example, through chat conversations with customers. The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. The analysis is performed by, for example, text mining, data mining, and statistical analysis, but is not limited to, such methods. The analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation and identify the customer's needs. The generation unit creates a proposal based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal is created in, for example, a business proposal, a technical proposal, or a marketing proposal, but is not limited to, such forms. The generation unit can create a proposal based on the identified needs. The checking unit checks the content of the proposal created by the generation unit to confirm that there are no errors. The checking is performed by, for example, checking for typographical errors, confirming the accuracy of the content, and checking the format, but is not limited to, such methods. The checking unit can check the contents of the proposal and verify that there are no errors. As a result, the proposal creation system according to this embodiment can efficiently receive and analyze customer information, create proposals, and check them.

[0030] The reception department receives information from customers. This information includes, but is not limited to, text, audio, and image information. The reception department can receive information, for example, through chat interactions with customers. Specifically, the reception department can chat with customers in real time via websites and mobile applications to receive their requests and questions. The chat interactions support not only text-based messages but also voice input and image transmission, and are designed to allow customers to provide information intuitively. For example, if a customer requests the creation of a business proposal, the reception department will collect details such as the customer's business overview, goals, target market, and competitor information through chat. By using voice input, the content explained verbally by the customer can be automatically converted into text, allowing for efficient information collection. Furthermore, image information can also be received, such as photos and diagrams of products provided by the customer, which can be used in proposal creation. The reception department can centrally manage this information and smoothly hand it over to the subsequent analysis and generation departments. This allows the reception department to efficiently receive diverse information from customers and smoothly proceed with the first stage of the proposal creation process.

[0031] The Analysis Department analyzes the information received by the Reception Department. This analysis is performed using methods such as text mining, data mining, and statistical analysis, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the Analysis Department analyzes the received text information using natural language processing techniques to extract customer needs and requests. For example, using text mining techniques, it extracts keywords and important phrases from customer messages to identify the content of the proposal the customer desires. Audio information is converted to text using speech recognition technology and similarly analyzed. Image information is analyzed using image recognition technology to extract the information necessary for the proposal. Furthermore, the Analysis Department can use data mining techniques to analyze past proposal creation data and customer history data to derive the optimal proposal structure and content to meet customer needs. Statistical analysis can also be used to understand industry and market trends and reflect them in the proposal. This allows the Analysis Department to analyze the received information from multiple perspectives and accurately identify customer needs. The analysis results are then handed over to the Generation Department and used in the creation of proposals.

[0032] The generation unit creates proposals based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. These proposals may take the form of business proposals, technical proposals, or marketing proposals, but are not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generation unit determines the optimal proposal structure and generates the content based on the customer's needs and requests provided by the analysis unit. Using natural language generation technology, the generation unit can automatically create text tailored to customer needs. For example, in the case of a business proposal, it creates sections including an overview of the customer's business, goals, target market, and competitor information, and fills each section with appropriate content. In the case of a technical proposal, it creates sections including technical details, implementation methods, and expected outcomes, providing technical explanations tailored to customer requests. In the case of a marketing proposal, it creates sections including marketing strategies, campaign details, and expected effects, proposing a marketing plan tailored to customer needs. The generation unit quickly and accurately creates these proposals and hands them over to the review unit. This allows the generation unit to efficiently create high-quality proposals tailored to customer needs.

[0033] The checking unit reviews the content of the proposal created by the generation unit to ensure there are no errors. Checking is performed by methods such as verifying typographical errors, confirming the accuracy of the content, and checking the formatting, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the checking unit uses automated proofreading tools to detect and correct typographical errors in the generated proposal text. Furthermore, to confirm the accuracy of the content, the checking unit cross-checks the data and facts contained in the proposal to ensure there are no errors. For example, it verifies the accuracy of market data and technical details contained in the proposal and makes corrections as necessary. Regarding formatting, the checking unit verifies that the proposal is created according to the specified format, maintaining consistency in layout and style. In addition, the checking unit reviews the overall flow and logical structure of the proposal and evaluates whether the content is easy for the customer to understand. This allows the checking unit to guarantee the quality of the proposal created by the generation unit and correct errors and deficiencies before providing it to the customer. The checked proposal is then finally provided to the customer. This ensures the quality of the proposal and allows the checking unit to provide a reliable proposal to the customer.

Some or all of the above processes in the generation unit are performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the company's internal formats and document creation trends into the generation AI, which can then create a proposal based on that information.

[0039] The checking unit can refer to pre-inputted internal knowledge to avoid hallucinations and verify the validity of the content. For example, the checking unit can verify the validity of the content by referring to past proposals. The checking unit can also avoid hallucinations by referring to internal guidelines. Furthermore, the checking unit can verify the validity of the content by referring to a database of expert knowledge. This allows the checking unit to refer to pre-inputted internal knowledge to avoid hallucinations and verify the validity of the content. Some or all of the above processes in the checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the checking unit can input internal knowledge into a generating AI, which can then verify the avoidance of hallucinations and the validity of the content.

[0040] The reception desk can analyze a customer's past conversation history and select the optimal conversation scenario. For example, the reception desk can select the optimal conversation scenario based on questions the customer has frequently asked in the past. It can also select a scenario that addresses a specific need from the customer's past conversation history. Furthermore, the reception desk can prioritize selecting conversation scenarios that the customer has previously found satisfactory. This allows for the selection of the optimal conversation scenario by analyzing the customer's past conversation history. Some or all of the above processes in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception desk can input the customer's past conversation history into a generating AI, which can then analyze the conversation history and select the optimal conversation scenario.

[0041] The reception desk can customize the conversation content at the start of the interaction based on the customer's current interests and circumstances. For example, the reception desk can customize the conversation content based on keywords the customer has recently searched for. It can also customize the conversation content based on the customer's current situation (e.g., purchasing a new smartphone). Furthermore, the reception desk can customize the conversation content based on the customer's interests (e.g., battery life). By customizing the conversation content based on the customer's current interests and circumstances, a more appropriate conversation becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the customer's current interests and circumstances into a generating AI, which can then customize the conversation content.

[0042] The reception desk can prioritize providing highly relevant information based on the customer's geographical location during interactions. For example, the reception desk can provide information on nearby stores based on the customer's current location. It can also provide information on region-specific campaigns based on the customer's geographical location. Furthermore, the reception desk can provide information on the nearest service center, taking the customer's location into consideration. This enables more appropriate interactions by providing highly relevant information based on the customer's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not.

This allows the proposal creation system to deliver proposals that align with the client's corporate culture and brand.

[0059] The proposal creation system can also include a competitive analysis department. This department analyzes proposals and marketing materials from the client's competitors, providing insights to create competitive proposals for the client. For example, it can analyze what kinds of proposals competitors are making and what strengths they are highlighting. The competitive analysis department can also grasp the content and design trends of competitor proposals and reflect them in the client's proposals. Furthermore, the competitive analysis department can provide data and evidence demonstrating how the client's proposals are superior to those of competitors. This allows the proposal creation system to deliver competitive proposals to the client.

[0060] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with a predictive analytics unit. This unit predicts the success rate of a proposal based on past proposal results and customer response data. For example, it can analyze past proposal success rates and customer feedback to predict the probability of a current proposal being awarded. The predictive analytics unit can also simulate the impact of changes to the proposal's content and design on the success rate. Furthermore, it can suggest the optimal proposal strategy based on the timing of submission and the customer's situation. This allows the proposal creation system to provide customers with proposals that have a higher probability of success.

[0061] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with a multilingual support function. This function translates proposals into multiple languages, providing appropriate proposals to clients who speak different languages.

[0062] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0063] Step 1: The reception desk receives information from the customer. This information may include, but is not limited to, text, audio, and image information. The reception desk can, for example, receive information through chat interactions with the customer. Step 2: The analysis department analyzes the information received by the reception department. The analysis may be performed using methods such as text mining, data mining, and statistical analysis, but is not limited to these examples. The analysis department can analyze the content of the conversation and identify customer needs. Step 3: The generation unit creates a proposal based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal may be created in the form of a business proposal, technical proposal, marketing proposal, etc., but is not limited to these examples. The generation unit can create a proposal based on identified needs. Step 4: The checking unit checks the content of the proposal created by the generation unit to ensure there are no errors. The checking may include, but is not limited to, methods such as checking for typographical errors, verifying the accuracy of the content, and checking the format.

[0064] (Example of form 2) The proposal creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses generative AI to analyze customer needs from chat conversations and create an optimal proposal. When a customer clicks "Request Information Here," a chat conversation begins. The generative AI analyzes the content of the conversation with the customer and identifies what the customer truly wants. Then, the generative AI creates a proposal based on the identified needs. The system checks the content of the proposal created by the generative AI to ensure there are no errors. This system can provide proposals that are effectively used by customers in their purchasing decisions and internal reviews. Furthermore, it is expected to provide a new user experience unlike those offered by other companies, reducing the time spent on document creation and review, while contributing to increased sales profits. For example, by enabling customers to quickly make purchasing decisions and reach contracts based on the proposal, the burden on sales representatives can be reduced, and efficient sales activities can be achieved. Thus, the proposal creation system can quickly and accurately create and provide proposals based on customer needs.

[0065] The proposal creation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a checking unit. The reception unit receives information from customers. Information from customers includes, but is not limited to, text information, audio information, and image information. The reception unit can receive information, for example, through chat conversations with customers. The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. The analysis is performed by, for example, text mining, data mining, and statistical analysis, but is not limited to, such methods. The analysis unit can analyze the content of the conversation and identify the customer's needs. The generation unit creates a proposal based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal is created in, for example, a business proposal, a technical proposal, or a marketing proposal, but is not limited to, such forms. The generation unit can create a proposal based on the identified needs. The checking unit checks the content of the proposal created by the generation unit to confirm that there are no errors. The checking is performed by, for example, checking for typographical errors, confirming the accuracy of the content, and checking the format, but is not limited to, such methods. The checking unit can check the contents of the proposal and verify that there are no errors. As a result, the proposal creation system according to this embodiment can efficiently receive and analyze customer information, create proposals, and check them.

[0066] The reception department receives information from customers. This information includes, but is not limited to, text, audio, and image information. The reception department can receive information, for example, through chat interactions with customers. Specifically, the reception department can chat with customers in real time via websites and mobile applications to receive their requests and questions. The chat interactions support not only text-based messages but also voice input and image transmission, and are designed to allow customers to provide information intuitively. For example, if a customer requests the creation of a business proposal, the reception department will collect details such as the customer's business overview, goals, target market, and competitor information through chat. By using voice input, the content explained verbally by the customer can be automatically converted into text, allowing for efficient information collection. Furthermore, image information can also be received, such as photos and diagrams of products provided by the customer, which can be used in proposal creation. The reception department can centrally manage this information and smoothly hand it over to the subsequent analysis and generation departments. This allows the reception department to efficiently receive diverse information from customers and smoothly proceed with the first stage of the proposal creation process.

[0067] The Analysis Department analyzes the information received by the Reception Department. This analysis is performed using methods such as text mining, data mining, and statistical analysis, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the Analysis Department analyzes the received text information using natural language processing techniques to extract customer needs and requests. For example, using text mining techniques, it extracts keywords and important phrases from customer messages to identify the content of the proposal the customer desires. Audio information is converted to text using speech recognition technology and similarly analyzed. Image information is analyzed using image recognition technology to extract the information necessary for the proposal. Furthermore, the Analysis Department can use data mining techniques to analyze past proposal creation data and customer history data to derive the optimal proposal structure and content to meet customer needs. Statistical analysis can also be used to understand industry and market trends and reflect them in the proposal. This allows the Analysis Department to analyze the received information from multiple perspectives and accurately identify customer needs. The analysis results are then handed over to the Generation Department and used in the creation of proposals.

[0068] The generation unit creates proposals based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. These proposals may take the form of business proposals, technical proposals, or marketing proposals, but are not limited to these examples. Specifically, the generation unit determines the optimal proposal structure and generates the content based on the customer's needs and requests provided by the analysis unit. Using natural language generation technology, the generation unit can automatically create text tailored to customer needs. For example, in the case of a business proposal, it creates sections including an overview of the customer's business, goals, target market, and competitor information, and fills each section with appropriate content. In the case of a technical proposal, it creates sections including technical details, implementation methods, and expected outcomes, providing technical explanations tailored to customer requests. In the case of a marketing proposal, it creates sections including marketing strategies, campaign details, and expected effects, proposing a marketing plan tailored to customer needs. The generation unit quickly and accurately creates these proposals and hands them over to the review unit. This allows the generation unit to efficiently create high-quality proposals tailored to customer needs.

[0069] The checking unit reviews the content of the proposal created by the generation unit to ensure there are no errors. Checking is performed by methods such as verifying typographical errors, confirming the accuracy of the content, and checking the formatting, but is not limited to these examples. Specifically, the checking unit uses automated proofreading tools to detect and correct typographical errors in the generated proposal text. Furthermore, to confirm the accuracy of the content, the checking unit cross-checks the data and facts contained in the proposal to ensure there are no errors. For example, it verifies the accuracy of market data and technical details contained in the proposal and makes corrections as necessary. Regarding formatting, the checking unit verifies that the proposal is created according to the specified format, maintaining consistency in layout and style. In addition, the checking unit reviews the overall flow and logical structure of the proposal and evaluates whether the content is easy for the customer to understand. This allows the checking unit to guarantee the quality of the proposal created by the generation unit and correct errors and deficiencies before providing it to the customer. The checked proposal is then finally provided to the customer. This ensures the quality of the proposal and allows the checking unit to provide a reliable proposal to the customer.

For example, the checking unit can improve the accuracy of its checks by referring to relevant literature in the proposal. The checking unit can also improve the accuracy of its checks based on market data related to the content of the proposal. Furthermore, the checking unit can combine relevant literature in the proposal with market data to perform optimal checks. This allows the accuracy of the checks to be improved by referring to relevant literature in the proposal. Some or all of the above processing in the checking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the checking unit can input data on relevant literature in the proposal into a generating AI, which can then improve the accuracy of its checks based on that data.

[0100] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0101] The proposal creation system can also include a feedback collection unit. This unit collects customer reactions and opinions after they receive the proposal. For example, it can collect feedback on whether the customer is satisfied with the proposal's content, which parts were particularly helpful, and what areas for improvement are needed. The feedback collection unit can also track what actions the customer takes based on the proposal (e.g., purchasing decision, additional questions, requests for other proposals). Furthermore, the feedback collection unit can analyze the collected feedback to provide insights for improving the quality of the proposal. This allows the proposal creation system to continuously improve the quality of its proposals by leveraging customer feedback.

[0102] The proposal creation system can also include a customization feature. This customization feature allows for the design and content of proposals to be tailored to the client's corporate culture and brand guidelines. For example, the client's corporate logo and color scheme can be incorporated into the proposal. Furthermore, the customization feature can incorporate industry-specific terminology and expressions. Additionally, the customization feature can create proposals by referencing the style and format of the client's past proposals. This allows the proposal creation system to deliver proposals that align with the client's corporate culture and brand.

[0103] The proposal creation system can also include a competitive analysis department. This department analyzes proposals and marketing materials from the client's competitors, providing insights to create competitive proposals for the client. For example, it can analyze what kinds of proposals competitors are making and what strengths they are highlighting. The competitive analysis department can also grasp the content and design trends of competitor proposals and reflect them in the client's proposals. Furthermore, the competitive analysis department can provide data and evidence demonstrating how the client's proposals are superior to those of competitors. This allows the proposal creation system to deliver competitive proposals to the client.

[0104] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with a predictive analytics unit. This unit predicts the success rate of a proposal based on past proposal results and customer response data. For example, it can analyze past proposal success rates and customer feedback to predict the probability of a current proposal being awarded. The predictive analytics unit can also simulate the impact of changes to the proposal's content and design on the success rate. Furthermore, it can suggest the optimal proposal strategy based on the timing of submission and the customer's situation. This allows the proposal creation system to provide customers with proposals that have a higher probability of success.

[0105] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with a multilingual support function. This function translates proposals into multiple languages, providing appropriate proposals to clients who speak different languages. For example, proposals can be created in languages ​​such as English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish, depending on the client's needs. Furthermore, the multilingual support function can consider specialized terminology and industry-specific expressions to improve translation accuracy. Additionally, the multilingual support function can culturally adapt proposals, providing effective proposals to clients with diverse cultural backgrounds. This allows the proposal creation system to provide proposals that are suitable for global clients.

[0106] The proposal creation system can also include an emotion analysis unit. This unit estimates the customer's emotions and adjusts the content and tone of the proposal based on those estimates. For example, if the customer is excited, the proposal's tone can be made positive and energetic. If the customer is anxious, the proposal's tone can be calmed and reassuring. Furthermore, if the customer is relaxed, the proposal's content can be made more detailed and information-rich. This allows the proposal creation system to provide an optimal proposal tailored to the customer's emotions.

[0107] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with an emotional feedback unit. This unit collects and analyzes the customer's emotions after receiving the proposal. For example, it can collect data on satisfaction, excitement, and anxiety levels the customer felt after reading the proposal. Furthermore, the emotional feedback unit can identify areas for improvement in the proposal based on the collected emotional data. Additionally, the emotional feedback unit can analyze the customer's emotional data and incorporate it into future proposal creation. This allows the proposal creation system to improve the quality of proposals by utilizing customer emotion-based feedback.

[0108] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with an emotion prediction unit. This unit predicts the emotions a customer will feel upon receiving a proposal, based on their past emotional data. For example, it can analyze customer response data to past proposals to predict what emotions a current proposal will evoke. Furthermore, the emotion prediction unit can simulate the impact of changes to the proposal's content or design on the customer's emotions. In addition, the emotion prediction unit can suggest the optimal proposal strategy based on the timing of submission and the customer's situation. This allows the proposal creation system to provide proposals that are sensitive to the customer's emotions.

[0109] The proposal creation system can also be equipped with an emotion tracking unit. This unit tracks the customer's emotions in real time throughout the entire proposal creation process. For example, it can continuously monitor the emotions the customer expresses through chat interactions. The emotion tracking unit can also record the customer's emotional responses to each section of the proposal, helping to improve it. Furthermore, the emotion tracking unit can analyze the customer's emotional data and suggest the optimal structure and content of the proposal. This allows the proposal creation system to provide proposals based on the customer's emotions.

[0110] The proposal creation system can also include an emotional reporting section. This section provides emotional data regarding the proposal creation process and customer reactions in the form of reports. For example, it can summarize the customer's emotions at each stage of the proposal creation process. Furthermore, the emotional reporting section can meticulously record customer emotional responses to each section of the proposal, identifying areas for improvement. Additionally, the emotional reporting section can analyze customer emotional data and provide insights to be incorporated into future proposal creation. This allows the proposal creation system to leverage customer emotion-based feedback to improve the quality of proposals.

[0111] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0112] Step 1: The reception desk receives information from the customer. This information may include, but is not limited to, text, audio, and image information. The reception desk can, for example, receive information through chat interactions with the customer. Step 2: The analysis department analyzes the information received by the reception department. The analysis may be performed using methods such as text mining, data mining, and statistical analysis, but is not limited to these examples. The analysis department can analyze the content of the conversation and identify customer needs. Step 3: The generation unit creates a proposal based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The proposal may be created in the form of a business proposal, technical proposal, marketing proposal, etc., but is not limited to these examples. The generation unit can create a proposal based on identified needs. Step 4: The checking unit checks the content of the proposal created by the generation unit to ensure there are no errors. The checking may include, but is not limited to, methods such as checking for typographical errors, verifying the accuracy of the content, and checking the format.

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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0115] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0156] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0157] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0158] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0159] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0160] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0161] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0162] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0163] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0164] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0165] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and checking 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 and receives information from the customer. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the information received by the reception unit. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates a proposal based on the analysis results. The checking unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and checks the contents of the generated proposal. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0166] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0167] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0168] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0169] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0170] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0171] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0172] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0173] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0174] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0175] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0176] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0177] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0178] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0179] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0180] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0181] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

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.
