The support unit can also suggest the most suitable support method by referring to the support history of the traveler's social media followers and friends. In this way, the support unit can suggest support methods based on the traveler's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the support unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the support unit can input the traveler's social media activity into a generative AI and have the generative AI suggest support methods.

[0093] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0094] The reception desk can adjust the input method based on the traveler's health condition. For example, if a traveler has a specific allergy, it will prioritize displaying accommodations and restaurants that accommodate that allergy. If a traveler has physical limitations, the reception desk can also suggest barrier-free accommodations and activities. Furthermore, if a traveler prioritizes health management, the reception desk can suggest health-conscious travel plans. This allows the reception desk to select the most appropriate input method based on the traveler's health condition.

[0095] The planning department can customize travel plans based on the traveler's hobbies and skills. For example, if the traveler enjoys photography, the department can suggest a plan that includes photogenic spots. If the traveler enjoys cooking, the department can suggest a plan that includes local cooking classes or gourmet tours. Furthermore, if the traveler is skilled in sports, the department can suggest a plan that includes sports events or activities. In this way, the planning department can propose the most suitable travel plan based on the traveler's hobbies and skills.

[0096] The booking department can make reservations and arrangements while taking into account the traveler's considerations for the environment. For example, the booking department will prioritize eco-friendly accommodations and transportation. If the traveler is interested in environmental protection, the booking department can also suggest environmentally friendly activities and tours. Furthermore, if the traveler desires sustainable travel, the booking department can suggest plans that contribute to local culture and the economy. In this way, the booking department can make optimal reservations and arrangements based on the traveler's considerations for the environment.

[0097] The support department can adjust its support methods based on the traveler's language proficiency. For example, if a traveler is unfamiliar with the local language, it can provide interpretation services or multilingual support. If a traveler is fluent in a particular language, the support department can also prioritize support in that language. Furthermore, the support department can provide tools and resources to help travelers quickly resolve language-related problems. This allows the support department to select the most appropriate support method based on the traveler's language abilities.

[0098] The reception desk can estimate the traveler's emotions and adjust the timing of input based on those emotions. For example, if the traveler is tired, it can temporarily suspend input and display a message encouraging them to take a break. If the traveler is focused, the reception desk can also prompt them to input continuously to efficiently collect information. Furthermore, if the traveler is excited, the reception desk can add interactive elements to provide a more enjoyable input experience. In this way, the reception desk can adjust the timing of input according to the traveler's emotions.

[0099] The suggestion system can estimate the traveler's emotions and adjust the order of suggestions based on those estimates. For example, if the traveler is stressed, it will suggest relaxing activities first. If the traveler is excited, the suggestion system can also prioritize suggesting adrenaline-stimulating activities. Furthermore, if the traveler is calm, it can suggest cultural experiences or quiet tourist destinations. In this way, the suggestion system can adjust the order of suggestions according to the traveler's emotions.

[0100] The booking department can estimate the traveler's emotions and adjust the level of detail in the booking based on those estimates. For example, if the traveler is in a hurry, the booking department can quickly arrange things with minimal information. If the traveler is relaxed, the booking department can provide detailed information and continue the booking process until the traveler is satisfied. Furthermore, if the traveler is feeling anxious, the booking department can provide regular updates on the progress of the booking to reassure them. In this way, the booking department can adjust the level of detail in the booking according to the traveler's emotions.

[0101] The support team can estimate the traveler's emotions and adjust the frequency of support based on those estimates. For example, if the traveler is feeling anxious, the support team can send frequent support messages to provide reassurance. If the traveler is relaxed, the support team can provide minimal support, respecting the traveler's free time. Furthermore, if the traveler is excited, the support team can provide support at appropriate times to maintain the traveler's excitement. In this way, the support team can adjust the frequency of support according to the traveler's emotions.

[0102] The reception desk can estimate the traveler's emotions and customize the input interface based on those emotions. For example, if the traveler is stressed, it can provide a simple and intuitive interface. If the traveler is relaxed, the reception desk can also provide an interface with more detailed options. Furthermore, if the traveler is excited, the reception desk can provide a visually appealing interface. In this way, the reception desk can customize the input interface according to the traveler's emotions.

[0103] The suggestion unit can estimate the traveler's emotions and adjust the tone of its suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if the traveler is tense, it can make suggestions in a calm tone. If the traveler is relaxed, it can make suggestions in a bright tone. Furthermore, if the traveler is excited, it can make suggestions in an energetic tone. In this way, the suggestion unit can adjust the tone of its suggestions according to the traveler's emotions.

[0104] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0105] Step 1: The reception desk receives input from travelers regarding their preferences and budget. Traveler preferences include the type of destination, type of activity, and food preferences, while the budget includes a daily budget, overall budget, and upper and lower limits. Step 2: The proposal department analyzes the information received by the reception department and proposes the optimal travel plan. Based on the traveler's preferences and budget, the proposal department suggests destinations, accommodations, sightseeing spots, activities, etc. Step 3: The Arrangement Department makes reservations and arrangements based on the plan proposed by the Proposal Department. The Arrangement Department handles reservations for accommodations and transportation, and ticket arrangements for tourist attractions. Step 4: The support department provides support during your trip. The support department will respond to any problems or emergencies that may arise during your trip, including changing or canceling reservations, dealing with problems at your destination, and responding to emergencies.

The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each of the above parts is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.).

[0155] 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.

[0156] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0157] 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.

[0158] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, proposal unit, arrangement unit, and support unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and accepts input of the traveler's preferences and budget. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the input information to propose the optimal travel plan. The arrangement unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and makes reservations and arrangements based on the proposed plan. The support unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides support during the trip. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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."

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.
