The acquisition unit can also analyze the weather data for each region and acquire the optimal data. As a result, by comparing weather data for each region, it can provide the optimal weather data.
[0111] The detection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the accuracy of congestion detection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the detection unit can set the congestion detection accuracy lower. If the user is in a hurry, the detection unit can also set the congestion detection accuracy higher. If the user is excited, the detection unit can also set the congestion detection accuracy to a medium level. This improves the customer experience by providing congestion detection accuracy that corresponds to the user's emotions. The estimation of the user's emotions is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.
[0112] The detection unit can make predictions by referring to past congestion data when detecting congestion levels. For example, the detection unit can predict future congestion levels based on past congestion data. The detection unit can also analyze past congestion patterns and predict congestion levels for specific time periods. The detection unit can also make predictions by comparing past congestion data with current congestion data. This improves the accuracy of congestion predictions by referring to past congestion data.
[0113] The detection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way congestion is displayed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the detection unit can display detailed congestion information. If the user is in a hurry, the detection unit can also display congestion information that highlights only the essentials. If the user is excited, the detection unit can also display congestion information using visually easy-to-understand graphs or charts. This improves the customer experience by providing a way to display congestion information that is tailored to the user's emotions. User emotions are estimated using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.
[0114] The detection unit can detect congestion levels in specific areas of a store when congestion is detected. For example, the detection unit can detect congestion in the store's entrance area. The detection unit can also detect congestion in the store's promotion area. The detection unit can also detect congestion in the store's relaxation area. This improves the customer experience by providing congestion information for specific areas of the store.
[0115] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0116] The service provider can refer to a user's purchase history and customize music and broadcast content based on past purchase data. For example, providing music related to products a user has previously purchased can increase their purchasing intent. Furthermore, if a user prefers a particular genre of music, that genre can be prioritized. It's also possible to broadcast relevant information based on events and campaigns a user has participated in in the past. This allows for a personalized experience based on the user's purchase history.
[0117] The music generation unit can generate music tailored to specific events and campaigns at a store. For example, during a Christmas campaign, it can generate Christmas songs to enhance the store's atmosphere. During a Valentine's Day event, it can generate romantic music to increase customer purchasing intent. Furthermore, during a Halloween event, it can generate thrilling music to create the right mood. This allows for the provision of music tailored to specific events and campaigns, thereby improving the customer experience.
[0118] The system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the music tempo and volume based on those estimates. For example, if the user is relaxed, it can provide slow-tempo music and set the volume low. If the user is excited, it can provide fast-tempo music and set the volume high. Furthermore, if the user is focused, it can provide medium-tempo music and adjust the volume appropriately. This allows for music tailored to the user's emotions, improving the customer experience.
[0119] The analysis department can provide optimal music and broadcasts by considering the store's location and surrounding environment. For example, if the store is located in a busy commercial area, providing lively music can attract the attention of passersby. If the store is located in a residential area, providing calming music can avoid disturbing nearby residents. Furthermore, if the store is located in a tourist area, broadcasting tourist-oriented information can improve the convenience for tourists. In this way, the department can provide optimal music and broadcasts tailored to the store's location and surrounding environment.
[0120] The broadcasting unit can estimate the user's emotions and customize the broadcast content based on those estimates. For example, if the user is relaxed, the broadcast can be delivered in a calm tone. If the user is excited, the broadcast can be delivered in an energetic tone. Furthermore, if the user is sad, the broadcast can be delivered in an empathetic tone. This allows for an improved customer experience by providing broadcast content that matches the user's emotions.
[0121] The music generation unit can create music that matches the store's interior and design. For example, if the store's interior is modern, it can generate contemporary music such as electronic or pop. If the store's interior is classic, it can generate traditional music such as classical or jazz. Furthermore, if the store's interior is natural, it can generate natural music such as acoustic or folk. This allows for the creation of music that matches the store's interior and design, thereby enhancing the store's atmosphere.
[0122] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of music and broadcasts based on those estimates. For example, if the user is relaxed, calming music or broadcasts can be provided. If the user is excited, energetic music or broadcasts can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is sad, music or broadcasts that empathize with their emotions can be provided. This allows the service provider to improve the customer experience by providing music and broadcasts that match the user's emotions.
[0123] The analysis department can make sales forecasts by referring to past weather data and sales data. For example, it can make sales forecasts for rainy days based on past weather data and sales data. It can also make sales forecasts for sunny days based on past weather data and sales data. Furthermore, it is possible to make seasonal sales forecasts based on past weather data and sales data. In this way, the accuracy of sales forecasts can be improved by referring to past weather data and sales data.
[0124] The system can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of music and broadcasts based on those estimates. For example, if the user is relaxed, the timing of the music and broadcasts can be adjusted slowly. If the user is in a hurry, the timing can be adjusted quickly. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the timing of the music and broadcasts can be adjusted frequently. This allows for an improved customer experience by providing music and broadcasts with timing that matches the user's emotions.
[0125] The service provider can deliver different music and broadcasts depending on specific zones or areas within the store. For example, welcome music and broadcasts can be provided in the store's entrance area. Special offer information and promotional music can be provided in the store's promotion area. Furthermore, calming music and broadcasts can be provided in the store's relaxation area. This allows for an enhanced customer experience by providing music and broadcasts tailored to specific zones and areas within the store.
[0126] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0127] Step 1: The generation unit generates music using a generation AI. The generation unit can generate music from scratch using an AI-powered music generation algorithm, or it can generate music from an existing music database. The generation unit uses AI to generate melodies and rhythms, creating unique music. Furthermore, the AI can adjust the tempo and key of the music to generate music that suits a specific mood. The AI can also select genres and styles of music to generate music that matches the brand image of the store. Step 2: The analysis department uses AI to analyze weather and congestion levels. The analysis department acquires data from sensors and external APIs and analyzes weather and congestion levels in real time. The AI analyzes weather data and selects music suitable for rainy or sunny days. Furthermore, the AI can detect congestion levels and adjust the tempo and volume of the music according to the level of congestion. The AI can also analyze customer attributes and behavioral data and provide music tailored to customer preferences. Step 3: The service department uses AI to provide optimal music and broadcasts. The service department selects music based on user preferences and provides music according to the real-time situation. The AI can also estimate customer emotions and provide music or broadcasts that match those emotions. Furthermore, the AI can provide different music or broadcasts depending on specific zones or areas of the store. The AI can also refer to customer purchase history and provide individually optimized music or broadcasts. Step 4: The broadcasting department uses AI to autonomously make in-store announcements. The broadcasting department broadcasts special offer information and warnings using automated speech synthesis technology. The AI broadcasts according to a schedule, reducing the workload for staff. Furthermore, the AI can collect customer reaction data in real time and incorporate it into the content of the next broadcast. The AI can also estimate customer emotions and provide broadcast content that responds to those emotions.

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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.).
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the generation unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and broadcast unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the generation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and generates music using a generation AI. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes weather and congestion conditions in real time. The provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides optimal music or broadcasts. The broadcast unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and autonomously makes in-store announcements. 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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."
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
