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 restaurant suggestion and reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that learns the user's past preferences and behavior and suggests and reserves personalized restaurant candidates. In this restaurant suggestion and reservation system, the user inputs information such as area, date and time, number of people, purpose, and preferences, and the generating AI learns the user's past preferences and behavior data to suggest the most suitable restaurant candidates. Furthermore, the user selects a restaurant from the suggested restaurants and makes a reservation using web reservation or voice call. For example, the user inputs information such as area, date and time, number of people, purpose, and preferences. At this time, the user can input specific conditions. For example, the user inputs information such as "I want to have a drinking party with 4 people in Shinjuku at 8pm." This information is input to the generating AI. Next, the generating AI learns the user's past preferences and behavior data. Based on past search data, reservation data, and information specified by the user, the generating AI integrates information such as online restaurant ratings, seating information, menus, and prices to suggest the most suitable restaurant candidates. For example, it can suggest similar restaurants by considering the ratings of restaurants the user has visited in the past and their preferred cuisine. Furthermore, the system handles the reservation process for the restaurant selected by the user from the suggested restaurants, using web reservations or voice calls. The generating AI works in conjunction with an automated voice service to attempt reservations even for restaurants that do not support web reservations. For example, if the restaurant selected by the user does not support web reservations, the generating AI will attempt the reservation process via automated voice, and if the reservation is successful, it will notify the user. If the reservation fails, the user will be notified immediately. This reduces the effort and stress that users experience when searching for and reserving restaurants. For example, the organizer of a drinking party, the person in charge of making reservations for business entertainment venues, or someone planning a date can easily find the perfect restaurant and make a reservation smoothly. It also allows restaurants to reduce their reliance on promotions and create an environment where restaurants with high quality and ratings can gain popularity. As a result, the restaurant suggestion and reservation system learns the user's past preferences and behavior, and can suggest and reserve personalized restaurant options.

[0029] The restaurant suggestion and reservation system according to this embodiment comprises a learning unit, a reception unit, a suggestion unit, and a reservation unit. The learning unit learns the user's past preferences and behavior. For example, the learning unit learns the user's past restaurant selection history, order history, and rating history. The learning unit uses generative AI to analyze this data and understand the user's preferences and behavior patterns. For example, the learning unit analyzes the commonalities of restaurants that the user has given high ratings to in the past and learns data to suggest similar restaurants. The reception unit takes input information such as area, date and time, number of people, purpose, and preferences. For example, the reception unit allows the user to input information such as "I want to have a drinking party with 4 people in Shinjuku at 8 PM." The reception unit uses AI to analyze the user's input information and provides the necessary information to the generative AI. The suggestion unit suggests the most suitable restaurant candidates based on the data learned by the learning unit. The suggestion unit uses generative AI to integrate information such as online restaurant ratings, seating information, menus, and prices based on the user's preferences and behavior data, and suggests the most suitable restaurant candidates. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest similar restaurants based on the user's past restaurant reviews and preferred cuisine. The reservation unit then makes reservations for the restaurants selected by the user from those suggested by the suggestion unit, using web reservations or voice calls. The reservation unit uses AI to automatically make reservations for the restaurants selected by the user. For example, if the restaurant selected by the user does not support web reservations, the reservation unit will make the reservation in cooperation with an automated voice service. As a result, the restaurant suggestion and reservation system according to this embodiment can learn the user's past preferences and behavior, and suggest and reserve personalized restaurant candidates.

[0030] The learning unit learns the user's past preferences and behavior. Specifically, it meticulously collects data such as the user's past restaurant selection history, order history, and rating history, and analyzes this data. For example, if a user tends to prefer certain dishes or atmospheres, the learning unit extracts that pattern and uses it for future recommendations. The learning unit uses generative AI to analyze this data in an advanced way and understand the user's preferences and behavioral patterns. The generative AI utilizes natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to analyze the user's rating comments and review content, identifying the types of dishes and service characteristics that the user particularly likes. For example, it analyzes the commonalities of restaurants that the user has given high ratings to in the past and learns data to suggest similar restaurants. Furthermore, the learning unit also considers the user's visit frequency, time of day, and behavioral patterns related to specific events and seasons to build a more accurate preference model. As a result, the learning unit can comprehensively understand the user's diverse preferences and behavioral patterns and provide a foundation for making personalized recommendations.

[0031] The reception desk takes in information such as area, date and time, number of people, purpose, and preferences. Users can input specific information, such as, "I'd like to have a drinking party with four people in Shinjuku at 8 PM." The reception desk efficiently collects this information and analyzes it using AI. The AI ​​analyzes the user's input information and provides the necessary information to the generating AI. For example, based on the area information entered by the user, it generates a list of restaurants in that area and checks for availability based on the date, time, and number of people. It also takes into account the user's purpose and preferences and prioritizes listing restaurants with specific cuisine genres or atmospheres. Furthermore, the reception desk refers to the user's past input history and preference data to prepare suggestions that reflect the characteristics of restaurants the user prefers. As a result, the reception desk can quickly and accurately collect information that meets the user's needs and provide it to the suggestion and reservation departments.

[0032] The suggestion unit proposes optimal restaurant candidates based on data learned by the learning unit. Using generative AI, the suggestion unit integrates information such as online restaurant ratings, seating information, menus, and prices based on the user's preferences and behavioral data to propose optimal restaurant candidates. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the user's past rating and selection history and selects restaurants considering the type of cuisine, price range, and atmosphere the user prefers. For example, it can suggest similar restaurants by considering the ratings and preferred cuisine of restaurants the user has visited in the past. Furthermore, the suggestion unit collects online restaurant information that is updated in real time and makes suggestions that reflect the latest ratings and availability information. The suggestion unit combines the user's input information and learning data to generate a list of optimal restaurants for the user and presents it to the user. This allows the suggestion unit to quickly and accurately propose personalized restaurant candidates that meet the user's preferences and needs.

[0033] The reservation department handles reservations for restaurants selected by the user from those suggested by the suggestion department, using web reservations or voice calls. The reservation department uses AI to automatically process reservations for the restaurants selected by the user. Specifically, if the restaurant selected by the user supports web reservations, the reservation department completes the reservation through the online reservation system. If the restaurant does not support web reservations, the reservation department works in conjunction with an automated voice service to process the reservation. The automated voice service calls the restaurant based on the user's reservation information and transmits the necessary reservation information. Furthermore, the reservation department can also automatically handle procedures such as reservation confirmation, modification, and cancellation. For example, if the user wants to change their reservation details, the reservation department will inform the restaurant of the changes and reconfirm the reservation. The reservation department also sends a reservation confirmation notification to the user, providing a link to check the reservation details and other information. In this way, the reservation department can process reservations for the restaurants selected by the user quickly and accurately, improving user convenience.

[0034] The suggestion support unit can suggest recommendations even when all the elements are unknown. For example, even if the user does not input information such as date, time, number of people, purpose, or preferences, the suggestion support unit will use generative AI to suggest the most suitable restaurant. Using generative AI, the suggestion support unit integrates information such as online restaurant ratings, seating information, menus, and prices based on the user's past preferences and behavioral data, and suggests the most suitable restaurant candidates. For example, the suggestion support unit can suggest similar restaurants by considering the ratings of restaurants the user has visited in the past and their preferred cuisine. This allows the system to suggest appropriate restaurants to the user even when all the elements are unknown.

[0035] The voice reservation system can attempt to make reservations even at restaurants that do not support online reservations, by working in conjunction with automated voice services. For example, if the restaurant selected by the user does not support online reservations, the voice reservation system will use the automated voice service to initiate the reservation process. The voice reservation system uses AI to automatically initiate the reservation process for the restaurant selected by the user. For example, the voice reservation system uses an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system to input the user's reservation information and complete the reservation process. This allows it to attempt to make reservations even at restaurants that do not support online reservations.

[0036] The notification unit can notify the user if a reservation fails. For example, the notification unit will notify the user if the restaurant selected by the user is fully booked or if a communication error occurs. The notification unit uses AI to monitor the reservation status and immediately notifies the user if a reservation fails. For example, the notification unit will inform the user of the reservation failure using push notifications or email notifications. This allows the user to be notified if a reservation fails.

[0037] The suggestion department can integrate past search data, reservation data, online restaurant ratings, seating information, menus, prices, and other information to make recommendations. For example, the suggestion department can suggest the most suitable restaurants based on keywords the user has previously searched for, reservation dates and times, and information about the restaurants they have reserved. The suggestion department uses generative AI to analyze this data and understand the user's preferences and behavioral patterns. For example, the suggestion department can analyze the commonalities of restaurants that users have previously given high ratings to and suggest similar restaurants. This allows for improved accuracy of recommendations by integrating past data and online information.

[0038] The reservation department can make reservations for restaurants selected by the user from the suggested restaurants. For example, the reservation department can automatically make reservations for restaurants selected by the user. The reservation department uses AI to make reservations for restaurants selected by the user via web or voice call. For example, if the restaurant selected by the user does not support web reservations, the reservation department will work with an automated voice service to make the reservation. This allows the user to make reservations for restaurants of their choice.

For example, the voice reservation unit will predict and suggest a voice reservation method to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past reservation history. In this way, the optimal voice reservation method can be selected by referring to the user's past reservation history.

[0111] The voice reservation unit can dynamically change the voice reservation procedure according to the user's current situation when a reservation is made by voice. For example, if the user is on the move, the voice reservation unit will automatically acquire the user's current location and proceed with the voice reservation procedure. The voice reservation unit uses a generation AI to dynamically change the voice reservation procedure according to the user's current situation. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the voice reservation unit will display only the minimum necessary reservation items. In this way, by dynamically changing the voice reservation procedure according to the user's current situation, more appropriate reservations can be made.

[0112] The notification unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the notification unit provides a simple and quick notification method. The notification unit uses AI to estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the notification unit provides detailed notification options and suggests a customizable notification method. This reduces the user's burden by adjusting the notification method based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using emotion estimation functions, such as emotion engines or generative AI. Generative AI includes, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI.

[0113] The notification unit can select the optimal notification method by referring to the user's past notification history when sending a notification. For example, the notification unit may prioritize suggesting notification methods that the user has frequently used in the past. The notification unit uses generative AI to select the optimal notification method by referring to the user's past notification history. For example, the notification unit predicts and suggests notification methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past notification history. In this way, the optimal notification method can be selected by referring to the user's past notification history.

[0114] The notification unit can analyze the user's past behavior patterns and simplify notifications when they are sent. For example, the notification unit can automatically display notification methods that the user has frequently used in the past as suggestions. The notification unit uses generative AI to analyze the user's past behavior patterns and simplify notifications. For example, the notification unit can predict and suggest notification methods to be used during specific time periods based on the user's past behavior patterns. In this way, notifications can be simplified by analyzing the user's past behavior patterns.

[0115] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0116] The recommendation team can suggest restaurants based on the user's current health status, in addition to their past preferences and behavioral data. For example, if a user is using a health management app, the system can suggest restaurants that consider calories and nutritional balance based on that data. Furthermore, if a user has specific allergies, the system can suggest allergy-friendly restaurants based on that information. Additionally, if a user is on a diet, the system can prioritize suggesting restaurants that offer low-calorie or healthy menu options.

[0117] The suggestion support unit can estimate whether a user is seeking a new experience based on their past preferences and behavioral data, and can also suggest new restaurants. For example, it can suggest restaurants in areas the user has never visited before. It can also suggest restaurants in culinary genres the user has never tried. Furthermore, if a user is interested in a particular event or festival, it can suggest restaurants related to that event.

[0118] The voice reservation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the tone and speed of the voice reservation based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can provide a calm and slow voice reservation. If the user is in a hurry, it can provide a quick and concise voice reservation. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, it can provide a friendly and detailed voice reservation.

[0119] The notification unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content and timing of notifications based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can send only simple and important information. If the user is relaxed, it can provide notifications with more detailed information and additional suggestions. Furthermore, if the user is busy, the notification timing can be adjusted to send notifications when the user is calm.

[0120] The recommendation system can suggest restaurants that take into account not only the user's past preferences and behavioral data, but also the preferences of the user's friends and family. For example, if a user is dining with friends, the system can suggest a restaurant that everyone will enjoy by considering the friends' past preferences and behavioral data. Similarly, if a user is dining with family, the system can suggest family-friendly restaurants that take into account the preferences of all family members. Furthermore, if a user is dining with a specific group, the system can suggest a restaurant that the entire group can enjoy by considering the group's preferences.

[0121] The reservation system can process reservations considering the user's current schedule in addition to their past reservation history. For example, if a user is using a calendar app, the system can suggest the optimal reservation time based on that schedule. It can also process reservations considering a user's schedule if they plan to have a meal after a specific event or meeting. Furthermore, it can adjust the reservation process to accommodate sudden changes in the user's plans.

[0122] The learning unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the priority of the training data based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can prioritize learning data on relaxing restaurants. If the user is having fun, it can prioritize learning data on entertaining restaurants. Furthermore, if the user is health-conscious, it can prioritize learning data on health-oriented restaurants.

[0123] The recommendation system can suggest restaurants based on the user's current mood, in addition to their past preferences and behavioral data. For example, if the user is tired, it can suggest a restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. If the user is energetic, it can suggest a lively restaurant. Furthermore, if the user is in the mood for a specific dish, the system can prioritize suggesting restaurants that serve that dish.

[0124] The recommendation team can suggest restaurants based on the user's past preferences and behavioral data, as well as considering the current weather and season. For example, during cold weather, they can suggest restaurants that serve hot food. On rainy days, they can suggest indoor restaurants. Furthermore, on hot summer days, they can suggest restaurants that serve cold drinks and desserts.

[0125] The recommendation system can suggest restaurants based on the user's past preferences and behavioral data, as well as their current budget. For example, if a user has set a budget, the system can suggest the best restaurant within that budget. It can also suggest restaurants where users can use specific discounts or coupons. Furthermore, if a user prefers a particular payment method, the system can suggest restaurants that accept that method.

[0126] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0127] Step 1: The learning unit learns the user's past preferences and behavior. For example, it learns the user's past restaurant selection history, order history, and rating history, and analyzes this data using generative AI. This helps to understand the user's preferences and behavioral patterns and learn data to suggest similar restaurants. Step 2: The reception desk inputs information such as area, date and time, number of people, purpose, and preferences. For example, a user can input information such as "I want to have a drinking party with 4 people in Shinjuku at 8 PM." The reception desk uses AI to analyze the user's input information and provides the necessary information to the generating AI. Step 3: The suggestion unit proposes the most suitable restaurant candidates based on the data learned by the learning unit. Using generative AI, it integrates information such as online restaurant ratings, seating information, menus, and prices based on the user's preferences and behavioral data to propose the most suitable restaurant candidates. For example, it can suggest similar restaurants by considering the ratings of restaurants the user has visited in the past and their preferred cuisine. Step 4: The reservation department makes reservations for the restaurants selected by the user from those suggested by the suggestion department, using web reservations or voice calls. The reservation department uses AI to automatically make reservations for the restaurants selected by the user. For example, if the restaurant selected by the user does not support web reservations, the reservation department will make the reservation in conjunction with an automated voice service.

[0128] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0129] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence).

The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with 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 from 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 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.

[0130] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

[0164] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0167] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0168] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

[0169] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0170] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0171] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0172] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0173] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0174] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0175] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0176] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0177] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0178] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0179] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0180] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the learning unit, reception unit, suggestion unit, reservation unit, suggestion assistance unit, voice reservation unit, and notification unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the learning unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns the user's past preferences and behavior. The reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and inputs information such as area, date and time, number of people, purpose, and preferences. The suggestion unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and suggests the most suitable restaurant candidates. The reservation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and handles reservation procedures using web reservations or voice telephones. The suggestion assistance unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and suggests recommendations even when each element is unknown. The voice reservation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and attempts to make reservations even for stores that do not support web reservations in cooperation with an automated voice service. The notification unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and notifies the user if the reservation fails. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0181] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0182] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0183] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0184] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0185] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0186] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0187] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0188] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0189] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0190] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0191] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0192] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0193] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0194] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0195] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0196] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

[0197] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
