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 system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an advanced solution that leverages natural language processing, emotional intelligence, and machine learning to enable robots to interact empathetically with users like humans. This system provides personalized interactive experiences in various industries such as retail, healthcare, education, and business. The system provides real-time data insights, multilingual support, customer service, employee support, and assistance with training tasks. With 24 / 7 availability and seamless integration into existing systems, the system improves engagement, operational efficiency, and user satisfaction. For example, the system accepts user input in natural language. For instance, if a user inputs "I want to check the stock of a product," the system understands the request and generates an appropriate response. Next, the system leverages emotional intelligence to analyze the user's emotions and provide an empathetic response. For example, if a user is dissatisfied, the system recognizes that emotion and takes appropriate action. Furthermore, the system uses machine learning to learn user behavior patterns and provide a personalized experience. For example, based on past conversation history, it can suggest products and services that the user might prefer. The system also provides real-time data insights to quickly respond to user needs. The system is multilingual and can accommodate users who speak different languages. This allows for consistent service delivery to a global user base. In this way, the system can be used for various purposes, such as customer service, employee support, and training task assistance, improving engagement, operational efficiency, and user satisfaction. The system enables empathetic dialogue by receiving user input in natural language, performing sentiment analysis, and generating responses.
[0029] The system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an emotion analysis unit, and a response generation unit. The reception unit receives user input in natural language. For example, the reception unit receives content entered by the user as text. The reception unit can also receive voice input. For example, if a user says "I want to check the stock of the product" by voice, the reception unit converts the voice into text and receives it. Furthermore, the reception unit can receive user input in real time. For example, it can receive input in chat format. The emotion analysis unit analyzes the input received by the reception unit. For example, the emotion analysis unit analyzes the content of the user's input using natural language processing technology. The emotion analysis unit utilizes emotional intelligence to analyze the user's emotions. For example, the emotion analysis unit uses an algorithm to estimate emotions from the content of the user's input. The emotion analysis unit can classify the user's emotions. For example, the emotion analysis unit classifies emotions such as joy, sadness, and anger from the content of the user's input. The response generation unit generates a response based on the input analyzed by the emotion analysis unit. The response generation unit generates a response that corresponds to the user's emotions, for example. Based on the emotions analyzed by the emotion analysis unit, the response generation unit generates an empathetic response. For example, if the user is feeling dissatisfied, the response generation unit generates a response that empathizes with that emotion. The response generation unit generates a response that provides appropriate information based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs that they want to check the stock of a product, the response generation unit generates a response that provides stock information. Thus, the system according to this embodiment can engage in empathetic dialogue by receiving user input in natural language, performing emotion analysis, and generating a response.
[0030] The reception desk accepts user input in natural language. For example, it accepts text input from users. Specifically, it receives text messages entered by users in a chat window in real time and incorporates them into the system. The reception desk can also accept voice input. For example, if a user says "I want to check the product inventory" by voice, the reception desk converts that voice into text and accepts it. Speech recognition technology is used to process voice input. Speech recognition technology analyzes the user's speech and converts the voice signal into text data. This allows voice input to be treated the same as text input. Furthermore, the reception desk can accept user input in real time. For example, it can accept input in chat format. In chat format, the text entered by the user is immediately sent to the system, and the system processes that input in real time. This allows for smooth interaction with the user and enables quick responses. To accurately accept user input, the reception desk can also check the consistency and grammar of the input content. For example, if the input content contains typos or omissions, the reception desk can have a function to automatically correct them. This ensures that user input is accurately captured by the system, allowing subsequent processing to proceed smoothly.
[0031] The sentiment analysis unit analyzes the input received by the reception unit. The sentiment analysis unit analyzes user input using, for example, natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP is a technology that analyzes text data and understands its grammatical structure and meaning. The sentiment analysis unit utilizes emotional intelligence to analyze the user's emotions. Emotional intelligence is an algorithm that estimates emotions from text data and can classify the user's emotions. For example, the sentiment analysis unit classifies emotions such as joy, sadness, and anger from the user's input. The sentiment analysis unit can use machine learning models for emotion classification. Machine learning models have the ability to learn from large amounts of text data and accurately classify emotions. The sentiment analysis unit can also analyze user input and evaluate the intensity and nuance of emotions. For example, if a user inputs "very happy," the sentiment analysis unit highly values the intensity of that emotion and uses this information to generate an appropriate response. The sentiment analysis unit analyzes the user's emotions in real time and reflects this in the system's overall response generation process. This allows the emotion analysis unit to accurately understand the user's emotions and provide a foundation for empathetic dialogue. Furthermore, the emotion analysis unit can perform more accurate emotion analysis by utilizing past dialogue history and user profile information. As a result, the emotion analysis unit can deeply understand the user's emotions and generate responses that meet their individual needs.
[0032] The response generation unit generates a response based on the input analyzed by the emotion analysis unit. For example, the response generation unit generates a response that corresponds to the user's emotions. Specifically, it generates an empathetic response based on the emotions analyzed by the emotion analysis unit. For example, if the user is feeling dissatisfied, the response generation unit generates a response that empathizes with that emotion. The response generation unit generates a response that provides appropriate information based on the user's input. For example, if the user inputs that they want to check the stock of a product, the response generation unit generates a response that provides stock information. The response generation unit uses natural language generation technology to generate a response to the user in natural language. Natural language generation technology is a technology that generates text data and can provide users with responses that are easy to understand and friendly. The response generation unit can adjust the tone and style of the response according to the user's emotions and input. For example, if the user is angry, the response generation unit will respond in a calm tone and choose words that will soothe the user's emotions. The response generation unit can also search for relevant information based on the user's input and generate an appropriate response. For example, if the user asks a question about a specific product, the response generation unit will search for detailed information about that product and provide it to the user. This allows the response generation unit to quickly generate appropriate responses that meet user needs, facilitating smooth communication with users. Furthermore, the response generation unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the quality of its responses. As a result, the response generation unit can consistently provide high-quality responses and improve user satisfaction.
[0033] The system includes a Real-Time Data Insights unit that responds quickly to user needs. For example, the Real-Time Data Insights unit analyzes user input in real time to identify user needs. The Real-Time Data Insights unit utilizes user input and behavioral history as data collection methods. For example, it identifies current needs based on keywords the user has previously searched for and purchase history. The Real-Time Data Insights unit uses analytical algorithms to quickly identify user needs. For example, it uses machine learning algorithms to learn user behavior patterns and predict needs. Based on user needs, the Real-Time Data Insights unit provides appropriate information. For example, if a user inputs "I'm looking for a new smartphone," the Real-Time Data Insights unit suggests the optimal smartphone based on the user's past purchase and search history. This improves user satisfaction by responding quickly to user needs. Some or all of the above-described processes in the Real-Time Data Insights unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the Real-Time Data Insights unit can input user input into a generating AI and have the generating AI identify user needs.
[0034] The system includes a multilingual support unit that accommodates users who speak different languages. The multilingual support unit, for example, translates user input into different languages. It uses translation algorithms to translate user input in real time. For example, it uses a machine translation algorithm to translate user input from English to Japanese. The multilingual support unit can be configured to support multiple languages, such as English, Japanese, French, and Spanish. Based on the user's language settings, the multilingual support unit generates responses in the appropriate language. For example, if the user selects Japanese, the multilingual support unit generates a response in Japanese. This allows for consistent service to a global user base by accommodating users who speak different languages. Some or all of the above-described processes in the multilingual support unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the multilingual support unit can input user input into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the translation.
[0035] The system includes a personalization unit that learns user behavior patterns and provides a personalized experience. The personalization unit learns, for example, the user's past behavior history. The personalization unit learns user behavior patterns using machine learning algorithms. For example, the personalization unit learns user preferences based on products the user has previously purchased and pages they have viewed. The personalization unit makes personalized suggestions based on the learned behavior patterns. For example, the personalization unit suggests products related to products the user has previously purchased. The personalization unit learns user behavior patterns in real time and provides a personalized experience. For example, the personalization unit provides relevant information based on the page the user is currently viewing. This improves user engagement by learning user behavior patterns and providing a personalized experience. Some or all of the above processing in the personalization unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the personalization unit can input the user's behavior history into a generating AI and have the generating AI generate personalized suggestions.
[0036] The reception desk can analyze the user's past input history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk may prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception desk can also predict and suggest input methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past input history. For example, the reception desk may suggest relevant input methods by referring to content the user has entered in the past. In this way, the optimal reception method can be selected by analyzing the user's past input history. 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 user's past input history into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal reception method.
[0037] The reception unit can filter input based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can accept only relevant information based on the user's current situation. The reception unit can also prioritize the acceptance of relevant input based on the user's areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can filter out unnecessary information based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. This allows for the priority acceptance of highly relevant information by filtering based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's current situation and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0038] The reception unit can prioritize receiving inputs that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception unit will prioritize receiving inputs related to that region. The reception unit can also filter relevant information based on the user's geographical location. For example, if the user is on the move, the reception unit will accept the most relevant inputs based on the user's current location. This allows for the priority of receiving highly relevant inputs by considering the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location into a generating AI and have the generating AI identify highly relevant inputs.
[0039] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving input and accept relevant input. For example, the reception unit can identify topics of interest from the user's social media activity and prioritize accepting relevant input. The reception unit can also analyze the user's social media activity and filter relevant information. For example, the reception unit can suggest the optimal input method based on the user's social media activity.

[0145] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

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.
[0149] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0150] 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 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48.

Also, the AI may be an AI agent.

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] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314.

[0160] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0161] 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.

The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0165] 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).
[0166] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54.

[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.

[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.).
[0173] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414.

In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0174] 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).

[0175] 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.
[0176] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, emotion analysis unit, response generation unit, real-time data insight unit, multilingual support unit, and personalization unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives user input in natural language. The emotion analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the user's emotions. The response generation unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates empathetic responses. The real-time data insight unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and identifies the user's needs in real time. The multilingual support unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and translates the user's input into different languages. The personalization unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns the user's behavior patterns and makes personalized suggestions. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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."
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
