[0056] The AI ​​agent system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a management unit, a negotiation unit, an analysis unit, and a monitoring unit. The collection unit collects data from the user's online activities and IoT devices. For example, the collection unit can collect website browsing history and social media posts from the user's online activities. The collection unit can also collect data from smart home devices and wearable devices from IoT devices. Furthermore, the collection unit can store the data collected from the user's online activities and IoT devices in a database for centralized management. The management unit centrally manages the data collected by the collection unit. For example, the management unit can organize the data using the database and set access permissions. The management unit can also regularly back up the data to ensure its security. Furthermore, the management unit can monitor data usage and detect unauthorized access. The negotiation unit negotiates the optimal recipients and conditions for receiving compensation for providing the data managed by the management unit.

The Monitoring Department can, for example, monitor data usage and detect fraudulent use. The Monitoring Department can also analyze data usage and understand usage patterns. Furthermore, the Monitoring Department can monitor data usage in real time and issue alerts if anomalies are detected. As a result, the AI ​​agent system according to this embodiment can efficiently collect, manage, negotiate, analyze, and monitor user data.

[0057] The data collection unit collects data from users' online activities and IoT devices. Specifically, it collects online activity data such as browsing history of websites visited by users, social media posts, and search history. This allows for an understanding of users' interests and preferences. The data collection unit also collects data from smart home devices and wearable devices. For example, it collects data such as lighting on / off status, room temperature, and security camera footage from smart home devices, and health data such as heart rate, steps taken, and sleep patterns from wearable devices. This data is used to understand users' lifestyles and health status. The data collection unit stores this diverse data in a database for centralized management. The database efficiently organizes the collected data and allows for quick access when needed. Furthermore, the data collection unit can flexibly set the frequency and method of data collection, ensuring that necessary data is collected while protecting user privacy. As a result, the data collection unit can efficiently collect diverse user data and improve the overall system performance.

[0058] The management department centrally manages the data collected by the collection department. Specifically, it organizes the collected data using a database and classifies it according to its type and importance. This allows for quick access to the necessary data. The management department also sets data access permissions and provides different access levels for each user. For example, general users can be given view-only permissions, while administrators can be given permission to edit and delete data. Furthermore, the management department ensures data security by regularly backing up the data. Backups involve saving multiple copies in different locations to protect against data loss or corruption. The management department also monitors data usage and implements security measures to detect unauthorized access and use. For example, if an abnormal access pattern is detected, an alert can be issued, allowing for a quick response. In this way, the management department can manage the collected data safely and efficiently, improving the reliability of the entire system.

[0059] The Negotiation Department negotiates the optimal recipients and terms for receiving compensation for providing data managed by the Management Department. Specifically, it evaluates the reliability of data recipients and determines whether they will use the data appropriately. For example, it investigates the past performance and reputation of recipients and selects highly reliable recipients. The Negotiation Department also sets the conditions for data provision and determines the details of the contract with recipients. For example, it negotiates the purpose and duration of data use, the amount of compensation and payment method, and sets terms that are acceptable to both parties. Furthermore, the Negotiation Department calculates the compensation for data provision and notifies the user. Compensation varies depending on the type and amount of data and the recipient's purpose of use, so the Negotiation Department calculates the compensation considering these factors. The Negotiation Department also manages contracts with data recipients and monitors compliance with contract terms. For example, if a recipient violates the contract terms, it can take appropriate measures. In this way, the Negotiation Department can efficiently negotiate regarding data provision and provide users with appropriate compensation.

[0060] The Analysis Department analyzes market data for the Negotiation Department. Specifically, it collects data on competitors and consumer trends to help select data recipients.

Furthermore, the Analysis Department evaluates the performance of data recipients and sets optimal provision conditions. For example, it evaluates the data usage and results of recipients and reviews the amount of compensation and provision conditions. In addition, the Analysis Department forecasts market trends of data recipients and formulates data provision strategies. For example, it forecasts market trends of recipients and develops strategies to respond to future fluctuations in demand and supply. In this way, the Analysis Department can select data recipients and optimize provision conditions, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0061] The monitoring department monitors data usage in real time. Specifically, it monitors data usage and detects unauthorized use. For example, it analyzes data usage patterns and issues alerts if unusual usage is detected. The monitoring department also analyzes data usage and understands usage patterns. This allows for an understanding of data usage trends and frequencies, enabling the optimization of data delivery strategies. Furthermore, the monitoring department monitors data usage in real time and responds quickly if an anomaly is detected. For example, if unauthorized data use is detected, access is immediately blocked and relevant parties are notified. The monitoring department also regularly reports on data usage to ensure transparency throughout the system. This allows the monitoring department to efficiently monitor data usage and improve the overall security and reliability of the system.

[0062] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of data collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the data collection unit can temporarily stop data collection and resume it when the user is relaxed. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the data collection unit can actively collect detailed data. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the data collection unit can minimize data collection and collect detailed data later. This allows for more appropriate data collection by adjusting the timing of data collection according to the user's emotions.

For example, the management unit can input user emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the data management methods.

[0069] The management department can adjust the level of detail in data management based on the importance of the data. For example, the management department can manage highly important data in detail and less important data in a simplified manner. The management department can also adjust the frequency of management according to the importance of the data. Furthermore, the management department can apply stricter security measures to highly important data. In this way, important data can be managed in detail by adjusting the level of detail in management based on the importance of the data.

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

[0104] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0105] 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.

[0106] 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.

[0107] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. 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.

[0108] 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.).

[0109] 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 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.

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.

[0129] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.).

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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).

[0144] 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.

[0145] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, management unit, negotiation unit, analysis unit, and monitoring unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects data from the user's online activities and IoT devices using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. The management unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and centrally manages the collected data. The negotiation unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and negotiates the optimal recipient and conditions for receiving compensation in exchange for providing data. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and the negotiation unit analyzes market data. The monitoring unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and grasps the data usage status in real time. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.
