[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.

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 music license acquisition support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an AI agent that simplifies the acquisition of licenses for the commercial use of music. This music license acquisition support system centrally manages license information for songs requested by advertising agencies and video producers, and supports appropriate procedures. For example, the music license acquisition support system uses a license information search function to present songs and license conditions that match the purpose from a vast music database. For example, if an advertising agency is looking for songs that fit a specific theme, the AI ​​will search for songs that match those conditions and present the license conditions. Next, the music license acquisition support system uses a procedure automation function to complete the application and payment of license agreements online. This prevents delays and errors in the procedure, and allows for quick and reliable license acquisition. Furthermore, the music license acquisition support system uses a price negotiation support function, where the AI ​​proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports price negotiations with rights holders. For example, if an advertising agency wants to license a song within a budget, the AI ​​will propose a fair price and support negotiations. In addition, the music license acquisition support system uses a rights holder matching function, where the AI ​​compares the creator's requests with the conditions offered by the rights holder and performs matching. For example, if a video producer wants to use a specific song, the AI ​​identifies the rights holder of that song and performs a matching process. Finally, the music licensing support system uses a usage tracking function, allowing the AI ​​to manage license periods and conditions and ensure compliance. For example, it notifies users before the license period expires and supports the renewal process. In this way, the music licensing support system simplifies the process of obtaining licenses for commercial use of music, enabling creative projects to proceed smoothly.

[0029] The music license acquisition support system according to this embodiment comprises a search unit, a procedure unit, a negotiation unit, a matching unit, and a tracking unit. The search unit searches for music license information. The search unit presents suitable music and license conditions from a vast music database, for example. For example, if an advertising agency is looking for music that fits a specific theme, the AI ​​in the search unit searches for music that matches the conditions and presents the license conditions. The procedure unit applies for and makes payments for license agreements based on the license conditions found by the search unit. For example, the procedure unit completes the application and payment for license agreements online. This prevents delays and errors in the procedure, enabling quick and reliable license acquisition. The negotiation unit supports price negotiations with rights holders based on the license agreements made by the procedure unit. For example, the AI ​​in the negotiation unit proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports price negotiations with rights holders. For example, if an advertising agency wants to license music within a budget, the AI ​​in the negotiation unit proposes a fair price and supports negotiations. The matching unit matches creators with rights holders based on the price negotiations supported by the negotiation unit. The matching unit, for example, uses AI to compare the creator's requests with the rights holder's terms and conditions to perform matching. If a video producer wants to use a specific song, the matching unit's AI identifies the rights holder of that song and performs matching. The tracking unit tracks the usage status of licenses matched by the matching unit. The tracking unit, for example, uses AI to manage license periods and conditions and ensure compliance. The tracking unit, for example, provides notification before the license period expires and supports the renewal process. As a result, the music license acquisition support system according to this embodiment can efficiently perform searching, processing, negotiation, matching, and tracking of song license information.

[0030] The search unit searches for music licensing information. For example, it presents suitable music and licensing conditions from a vast music database. Specifically, the search unit filters the music in the database based on keywords and conditions entered by the user and lists the best candidates. For example, if an advertising agency is looking for music that fits a specific theme, the AI ​​will search for music that matches those conditions and present the licensing conditions. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's input and compare it with the music's metadata and tag information. Furthermore, the AI ​​can learn from past search history and user preferences to provide more accurate search results. When presenting search results to the user, the search unit also displays a preview of the music and detailed licensing conditions. This allows the user to compare and consider licensing conditions while reviewing the music content. The search unit also has a function to save search results for later review. This allows the user to compare multiple songs and select the best one. To enhance user convenience, the search unit also provides functions to refine and sort search results. For example, search results can be narrowed down by criteria such as song genre, release year, and artist name. It's also possible to sort search results by popularity or newest release. This allows the search engine to help users efficiently find songs and discover the most suitable licensing conditions.

[0031] The Procedures Department handles license agreement applications and payments based on the license conditions retrieved by the Search Department. For example, the Procedures Department allows users to complete license agreement applications and payments online. Specifically, the Procedures Department verifies the license conditions of the music selected by the user and provides a form for entering the necessary information. The user enters the required information into the form and submits the license agreement application. The Procedures Department automatically verifies the entered information to ensure there are no errors. Once the license agreement application is complete, the Procedures Department provides an interface for payment. Users can pay the license fee using a credit card or electronic payment service. Upon completion of payment, the Procedures Department issues a license agreement confirmation and notifies the user. This prevents delays and errors in the process, ensuring quick and reliable license acquisition. Furthermore, the Procedures Department also has a function to track the progress of the license agreement in real time and notify the user. For example, it sends notifications to the user when the license agreement application is approved or when payment is completed. This allows users to understand the progress of the process and proceed with license acquisition with confidence. Furthermore, the procedures section also provides a function to save a history of license agreements for later reference. This allows users to review past license agreements and reuse them as needed. To enhance user convenience, the procedures section also supports multiple languages ​​and currencies. This allows it to accommodate international users and assist in obtaining global licenses.

[0032] The Negotiation Department assists in price negotiations with rights holders based on license agreements made by the Procedures Department. For example, the Negotiation Department uses AI to propose a fair price based on past transaction data and support price negotiations with rights holders. Specifically, the Negotiation Department uses algorithms to calculate a fair price by analyzing past transaction data and market trends. The AI ​​learns from past transaction data and proposes a fair price by referring to transaction prices under similar conditions. Based on the proposed fair price, the Negotiation Department conducts price negotiations between the user and the rights holder. If a user wants to license music within their budget, the Negotiation Department's AI proposes a fair price and supports the negotiation. For example, if an advertising agency wants to license music within its budget, the AI ​​proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports the negotiation with the rights holder. If an agreement is reached between the user and the rights holder, the Negotiation Department finalizes the terms of the license agreement and notifies the Procedures Department. This allows the Negotiation Department to help users license music at a fair price and minimize costs. Furthermore, the Negotiation Department also has a function to track the progress of negotiations in real time and notify the user. For example, the system sends notifications to users when negotiations progress or when an agreement is reached. This allows users to stay informed about the progress of negotiations and proceed with license acquisition with confidence. The negotiation system also provides a function to save negotiation history for later reference. This allows users to review past negotiation history and reuse it as needed. To enhance user convenience, the negotiation system also supports multiple languages ​​and currencies. This allows it to accommodate international users and support global license acquisition.

[0033] The matching department matches creators with rights holders based on price negotiations supported by the negotiation department. For example, the matching department uses AI to compare creator requests with rights holders' terms and conditions. Specifically, the matching department analyzes the requests and conditions entered by creators and compares them with the rights holders' terms and conditions. The AI ​​uses an algorithm to compare creator requests and rights holders' terms and conditions to achieve the best possible match. For example, if a video producer wants to use a specific song, the AI ​​identifies the rights holder of that song and performs the matching. Once a match is made between the creator and the rights holder, the matching department finalizes the terms of the license agreement and notifies the procedures department. This allows the matching department to help creators quickly find songs that meet their needs and streamline the licensing process. Furthermore, the matching department also has a function to track the progress of the matching in real time and notify users. For example, it sends notifications to users when the matching process progresses or when a match is made. This allows users to understand the progress of the matching and proceed with licensing with confidence. The matching department also provides a function to save the matching history for later reference. This allows users to review their past matching history and reuse matches as needed. The matching system also supports multiple languages ​​and currencies to enhance user convenience. This enables it to cater to international users and support global license acquisition.

[0034] The tracking unit tracks the usage of licenses matched by the matching unit. For example, the tracking unit uses AI to manage license periods and conditions, ensuring compliance. Specifically, the tracking unit registers the terms and periods of license agreements in a database and checks them regularly. The AI ​​provides notifications before the license period expires and supports the renewal process. For example, it sends a notification to the user one month before the license expires, prompting them to renew. The tracking unit monitors license usage in real time to check for compliance violations. For example, if usage that violates license conditions is detected, it issues a warning to the user and prompts them to correct the issue. This allows the tracking unit to ensure proper license use and enforce compliance. Furthermore, the tracking unit also has the function of compiling license usage reports and providing them to users. For example, it outputs reports on license usage and renewal history and provides them to users. This allows users to understand their license usage and manage it appropriately. The tracking unit can also analyze license usage to inform future license acquisition decisions. For example, it can predict future license demand based on past usage and develop an appropriate license acquisition plan. The tracking unit also includes features to support multiple languages ​​and currencies to enhance user convenience. This allows it to accommodate international users and support global license management.

[0035] The search unit can present suitable songs and licensing conditions from a vast music database. For example, if an advertising agency is looking for music that fits a specific theme, the AI ​​will search for songs that match the criteria and present the licensing conditions. If a filmmaker is looking for music that fits a specific scene, the AI ​​can also search for songs that match the criteria and present the licensing conditions. If an individual user is looking for music that fits a specific event, the AI ​​can also search for songs that match the criteria and present the licensing conditions. This allows the search unit to efficiently present suitable songs and licensing conditions. Some or all of the above processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not. For example, the search unit can input a vast music database into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the task of presenting suitable songs and licensing conditions.

[0036] The procedures department can complete license agreement applications and payments online. For example, the procedures department can apply for a license agreement online and complete the agreement using an electronic signature. The procedures department can also make license agreement payments using an online payment system. For example, the procedures department can complete license agreement applications and payments online in a single process. This allows the procedures department to apply for and pay for license agreements quickly and reliably. Some or all of the above processes in the procedures department may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the procedures department can input license agreement application data into a generative AI and have the generative AI automate the application process.

[0037] The negotiation department can propose a fair price based on past transaction data. For example, the negotiation department can use AI to analyze past transaction data and calculate a fair price. The negotiation department can also use AI to propose a fair price based on market prices and past transaction data. The negotiation department can also use AI to propose a fair price based on the creator's budget and conditions. This allows the negotiation department to conduct price negotiations efficiently by proposing a fair price. Some or all of the above processes in the negotiation department may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the negotiation department can input past transaction data into a generative AI and have the generative AI calculate a fair price.

[0038] The matching unit can perform matching by comparing the creator's requests with the rights holder's terms of service. For example, the matching unit can use AI to compare the creator's requests with the rights holder's terms of service and perform the optimal match. The matching unit can also use AI to compare the rights holder's terms of service based on the creator's intended use and budget. For example, the matching unit can use AI to evaluate the degree of agreement between the creator's requests and the rights holder's terms of service and propose the optimal match. This allows the matching unit to efficiently match the requests and conditions of creators and rights holders. Some or all of the above-described processes in the matching unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the matching unit can input creator request data and rights holder's terms of service data into a generative AI and leave the matching process to the generative AI.

[0039] The tracking unit can manage license periods and terms and ensure compliance. For example, the tracking unit can use AI to monitor license periods and send notifications before they expire. The tracking unit can also use AI to manage license terms and check for any violations. The tracking unit can also use AI to reflect changes in license periods and terms in real time and provide the latest information. This allows the tracking unit to manage license periods and terms and ensure compliance. Some or all of the above processes in the tracking unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the tracking unit can input license period and term data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform management and monitoring.

[0040] The search unit can optimize its search algorithm by referring to the user's past search history during a search. For example, the search unit can analyze trends in songs the user has searched for in the past and prioritize displaying similar songs. For example, the search unit can also suggest songs with the most suitable conditions based on the license conditions the user has searched for in the past. For example, the search unit can prioritize displaying specific genres or artists based on the user's past search history. In this way, the search unit can provide optimal search results based on the user's past search history. Some or all of the above processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the search unit can input the user's past search history data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the optimization of the search algorithm.

[0041] The search unit can filter search results based on the user's current projects and areas of interest during a search. For example, the search unit may prioritize displaying music that matches the theme of the project the user is currently working on. The search unit can also filter and display relevant music based on the user's areas of interest. The search unit can also suggest the most suitable music based on the requirements of a project specified by the user. In this way, the search unit can provide optimal search results based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the search unit can input the user's project data and area of ​​interest data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform the filtering of search results.

[0042] The search unit can prioritize displaying highly relevant songs by considering the user's geographical location during a search. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the search unit can prioritize displaying music from that region. For example, if the user is traveling, the search unit can also display music related to the culture of the travel destination. For example, if the user is attending a specific event, the search unit can also display music related to that event. This allows the search unit to provide optimal search results based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the search unit can input the user's geographical location data into a generative AI and have the generative AI display highly relevant songs.

[0043] The search unit can analyze the user's social media activity during a search and display relevant songs. For example, the search unit can analyze trends in songs shared by the user on social media and display similar songs. For example, the search unit can also prioritize displaying new songs by artists the user follows. For example, the search unit can display songs in genres of interest based on the user's social media activity. This allows the search unit to provide optimal search results based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the search unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generative AI and have the generative AI display relevant songs.

[0044] The procedure unit can optimize procedures by referring to past procedure history during the procedure. For example, the procedure unit can suggest the optimal procedure method based on the user's past procedure history. The procedure unit can also prioritize displaying frequently used procedures from the user's past procedure history. The procedure unit can also analyze the user's past procedure history to improve procedure efficiency. This allows the procedure unit to provide the optimal procedure based on past procedure history. Some or all of the above processing in the procedure unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the procedure unit can input past procedure history data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform procedure optimization.

[0045] The procedure unit can adjust the priority of procedures based on the user's current situation during the procedure. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the procedure unit will prioritize the most important procedures. For example, if the user is relaxed, the procedure unit may provide detailed procedural explanations and then proceed with the procedures. The procedure unit can also adjust how procedures are carried out according to the user's current situation. This allows the procedure unit to provide procedural priorities that are appropriate to the user's current situation. Some or all of the above processing in the procedure unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the procedure unit can input the user's current situation data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the procedural priorities.

[0046] The procedure unit can optimize the progress of a procedure by taking into account the user's geographical location information during the procedure. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the procedure unit can prioritize displaying the procedure for that region.

[0068] The music license acquisition support system according to this embodiment comprises a search unit, a procedure unit, a negotiation unit, a matching unit, and a tracking unit. The search unit searches for music license information. The search unit presents suitable music and license conditions from a vast music database, for example. For example, if an advertising agency is looking for music that fits a specific theme, the AI ​​in the search unit searches for music that matches the conditions and presents the license conditions. The procedure unit applies for and makes payments for license agreements based on the license conditions found by the search unit. For example, the procedure unit completes the application and payment for license agreements online. This prevents delays and errors in the procedure, enabling quick and reliable license acquisition. The negotiation unit supports price negotiations with rights holders based on the license agreements made by the procedure unit. For example, the AI ​​in the negotiation unit proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports price negotiations with rights holders. For example, if an advertising agency wants to license music within a budget, the AI ​​in the negotiation unit proposes a fair price and supports negotiations. The matching unit matches creators with rights holders based on the price negotiations supported by the negotiation unit. The matching unit, for example, uses AI to compare the creator's requests with the rights holder's terms and conditions to perform matching. If a video producer wants to use a specific song, the matching unit's AI identifies the rights holder of that song and performs matching. The tracking unit tracks the usage status of licenses matched by the matching unit. The tracking unit, for example, uses AI to manage license periods and conditions and ensure compliance. The tracking unit, for example, provides notification before the license period expires and supports the renewal process. As a result, the music license acquisition support system according to this embodiment can efficiently perform searching, processing, negotiation, matching, and tracking of song license information.

[0069] The search unit searches for music licensing information. For example, it presents suitable music and licensing conditions from a vast music database. Specifically, the search unit filters the music in the database based on keywords and conditions entered by the user and lists the best candidates. For example, if an advertising agency is looking for music that fits a specific theme, the AI ​​will search for music that matches those conditions and present the licensing conditions. The AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's input and compare it with the music's metadata and tag information. Furthermore, the AI ​​can learn from past search history and user preferences to provide more accurate search results. When presenting search results to the user, the search unit also displays a preview of the music and detailed licensing conditions. This allows the user to compare and consider licensing conditions while reviewing the music content. The search unit also has a function to save search results for later review. This allows the user to compare multiple songs and select the best one. To enhance user convenience, the search unit also provides functions to refine and sort search results. For example, search results can be narrowed down by criteria such as song genre, release year, and artist name. It's also possible to sort search results by popularity or newest release. This allows the search engine to help users efficiently find songs and discover the most suitable licensing conditions.

[0070] The Procedures Department handles license agreement applications and payments based on the license conditions retrieved by the Search Department. For example, the Procedures Department allows users to complete license agreement applications and payments online. Specifically, the Procedures Department verifies the license conditions of the music selected by the user and provides a form for entering the necessary information. The user enters the required information into the form and submits the license agreement application. The Procedures Department automatically verifies the entered information to ensure there are no errors. Once the license agreement application is complete, the Procedures Department provides an interface for payment. Users can pay the license fee using a credit card or electronic payment service. Upon completion of payment, the Procedures Department issues a license agreement confirmation and notifies the user. This prevents delays and errors in the process, ensuring quick and reliable license acquisition. Furthermore, the Procedures Department also has a function to track the progress of the license agreement in real time and notify the user. For example, it sends notifications to the user when the license agreement application is approved or when payment is completed. This allows users to understand the progress of the process and proceed with license acquisition with confidence. Furthermore, the procedures section also provides a function to save a history of license agreements for later reference. This allows users to review past license agreements and reuse them as needed. To enhance user convenience, the procedures section also supports multiple languages ​​and currencies. This allows it to accommodate international users and assist in obtaining global licenses.

[0071] The Negotiation Department assists in price negotiations with rights holders based on license agreements made by the Procedures Department. For example, the Negotiation Department uses AI to propose a fair price based on past transaction data and support price negotiations with rights holders. Specifically, the Negotiation Department uses algorithms to calculate a fair price by analyzing past transaction data and market trends. The AI ​​learns from past transaction data and proposes a fair price by referring to transaction prices under similar conditions. Based on the proposed fair price, the Negotiation Department conducts price negotiations between the user and the rights holder. If a user wants to license music within their budget, the Negotiation Department's AI proposes a fair price and supports the negotiation. For example, if an advertising agency wants to license music within its budget, the AI ​​proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports the negotiation with the rights holder. If an agreement is reached between the user and the rights holder, the Negotiation Department finalizes the terms of the license agreement and notifies the Procedures Department. This allows the Negotiation Department to help users license music at a fair price and minimize costs. Furthermore, the Negotiation Department also has a function to track the progress of negotiations in real time and notify the user. For example, the system sends notifications to users when negotiations progress or when an agreement is reached. This allows users to stay informed about the progress of negotiations and proceed with license acquisition with confidence.

The matching system also supports multiple languages ​​and currencies to enhance user convenience. This enables it to cater to international users and support global license acquisition.

[0073] The tracking unit tracks the usage of licenses matched by the matching unit. For example, the tracking unit uses AI to manage license periods and conditions, ensuring compliance. Specifically, the tracking unit registers the terms and periods of license agreements in a database and checks them regularly. The AI ​​provides notifications before the license period expires and supports the renewal process. For example, it sends a notification to the user one month before the license expires, prompting them to renew. The tracking unit monitors license usage in real time to check for compliance violations. For example, if usage that violates license conditions is detected, it issues a warning to the user and prompts them to correct the issue. This allows the tracking unit to ensure proper license use and enforce compliance. Furthermore, the tracking unit also has the function of compiling license usage reports and providing them to users. For example, it outputs reports on license usage and renewal history and provides them to users. This allows users to understand their license usage and manage it appropriately. The tracking unit can also analyze license usage to inform future license acquisition decisions. For example, it can predict future license demand based on past usage and develop an appropriate license acquisition plan. The tracking unit also includes features to support multiple languages ​​and currencies to enhance user convenience. This allows it to accommodate international users and support global license management.

[0074] The search unit can present suitable songs and licensing conditions from a vast music database.

[0120] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0121] Step 1: The search unit searches for music licensing information. For example, it presents suitable music and licensing conditions from a vast music database. If an advertising agency is looking for music that fits a specific theme, the AI ​​will search for music that matches those criteria and present the licensing conditions. Step 2: The Procedures Department applies for and pays for the license agreement based on the license terms retrieved by the Search Department. For example, the application and payment for the license agreement can be completed online. This prevents delays and errors in the process, ensuring that licenses are obtained quickly and reliably. Step 3: The Negotiation Department assists in price negotiations with rights holders based on the license agreements made by the Procedures Department. For example, AI proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports price negotiations with rights holders. If an advertising agency wants to license music within its budget, the AI ​​proposes a fair price and supports the negotiations. Step 4: The matching department matches creators with rights holders based on price negotiations supported by the negotiation department.

If a video producer wants to use a specific song, the AI ​​identifies the rights holder of that song and performs the matching. Step 5: The tracking unit tracks the usage of licenses matched by the matching unit. For example, AI manages license periods and conditions to ensure compliance. It also provides notifications before the license period expires and supports the renewal process.

The smart glasses 214 also have 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.

[0137] 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.).

[0138] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing.

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.

[0158] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0159] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0160] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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).

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.).

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.

[0174] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the search unit, procedure unit, negotiation unit, matching unit, and tracking unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the search unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and presents suitable music and license conditions from a vast music database. The procedure unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and completes the application and payment of license agreements online. The negotiation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes a fair price based on past transaction data and supports price negotiations with rights holders. The matching unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and performs matching by comparing the creator's requests with the conditions offered by rights holders. The tracking unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and manages license periods and conditions to ensure compliance. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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."

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.
